The earnings call summary indicates strong financial performance with improved margins, cash flow, and revenue guidance. The Q&A section supports this with insights into strategic growth areas and market confidence, although some management responses were vague. The raised guidance for revenue and EPS, alongside strong adjusted free cash flow, suggests a positive outlook. Given the mid-cap market cap, the stock price is likely to react positively, between 2% to 8%, over the next two weeks.
Total Revenues $863.5 million, up 25.9% compared with $685.9 million. The increase was driven by double-digit gains across every major business line.
Management Services, Servicing and Other Increased by 12.6%, leading to the company's best ever quarter for these recurring businesses. This included 23.5% growth from valuation and advisory.
High-Margin Servicing and Asset Management Platform Grew by over 12% when excluding the impact of lower interest rates on escrow earnings.
Leasing Revenues Up 13.7%, resulting in a record third quarter for this service line. This was led by strong activity in New York, Texas and Northern California, where growth in office and industrial was observed.
Capital Markets Revenues Increased by 59.7%, reflecting an approximately 129% improvement in total debt volumes, nearly 2.5x faster than the industry. Investment sales volumes increased by 67%, significantly outpacing the industry.

Adjusted EPS Increased by 27.3% to $0.42 compared with $0.33. The increase was driven by higher tax deductible stock compensation and improved operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA $145.2 million, up 28.9% versus $112.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA margin on total revenues improved by 40 basis points to 16.8%. For the first 9 months of 2025, this margin improved by approximately 116 basis points to 15.2% compared with a year earlier.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Ended the quarter with $224.1 million and 1x net leverage. Changes from year-end 2024 reflected cash generated by the business of $325.5 million and $75 million of incremental borrowing under Newmark's revolving credit facility.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow For the trailing 12 months, up 134% to $291.9 million.
