Negative

Capital Markets Performance Update: In the third quarter, we reported the first quarter of Capital Markets growth in the Americas since the second quarter of 2022, but EMEA Capital Markets revenue declined 5%, as the market continues to experience some lumpiness on the road to recovery.
Leasing Revenue Growth Challenges: Leasing revenue increased for the fourth consecutive quarter, but we experienced some delays in project management, which has slowed down our growth in that area.
Adjusted EPS Improvement: Adjusted EPS of $0.23 is $0.02 higher than last year, benefiting from interest and tax savings, but overall growth remains constrained due to market conditions.
