FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CB RICHARD ELLIS GROUP, INC. REPORTS CONTINUED REVENUE

AND EARNINGS GROWTH FOR SECOND QUARTER 2011

REVENUE INCREASES 21% TO $1.4 BILLION

EARNINGS PER SHARE RISE TO $0.21

Los Angeles, CA — July 27, 2011 — CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. (NYSE:CBG) today reported continued revenue and earnings growth for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

·                  Revenue for the quarter totaled $1.4 billion, an increase of 21% from $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2010.

·                  Net income on a U.S. GAAP basis improved to $61.2 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2011, an increase of 12% from $54.8 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2010.

·                  Excluding selected charges(1), net income(2) totaled $67.0 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, for the current-year quarter, up 14% and 17%, respectively, from $58.8 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010.

·                  Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)(3) rose 3% to $166.1 million for the second quarter of 2011 from $161.6 million a year earlier.  Excluding selected charges, EBITDA(3) rose 4% to $172.4 million in the current period from $165.2 million in the second quarter of 2010.

Last year’s second-quarter Development Services EBITDA was $19 million greater than  in this year’s second quarter, predominately resulting from outsized gains from property sales. In addition, this year’s second-quarter Global Investment Management EBITDA included an increase of approximately $6 million of carried interest incentive compensation expense.  These factors significantly tempered overall EBITDA growth compared with the prior-year period, and without their impact, overall EBITDA would have grown 22%.

Management Commentary

“We are very pleased with the strong revenue gains we recorded across the Company during the second quarter,” said Brett White, chief executive officer of CB Richard Ellis.  “Despite continued uncertainty in the macro environment, revenue rose by double digits in nearly every service line in all three geographic regions. This performance illustrates the ability of our people and platform to drive continued business gains in a global economy that is still marked by slow, uneven growth.”

Revenue growth was significant in the Company’s transactional businesses — property leasing and sales.  Global leasing revenue rose 22% and was up strongly across every geographic region.  Of note, year-over-year second-quarter Americas leasing performance was significantly better than in the first quarter.

Reflecting the strengthening of the real estate capital markets, sales revenue grew 44% globally, paced by a 68% rise in the Americas. Mortgage brokerage revenue also improved robustly, increasing 47% in the second quarter, as loan origination and sales activity more than doubled across a broader group of lenders.

Outsourcing revenue improved 13% in the second quarter, with all three geographic regions contributing double-digit growth.  The Company signed a record 47 long-term outsourcing contracts during the quarter, including 15 with new clients and 32 expansions or renewals of existing relationships. During the quarter, CB Richard Ellis was awarded contracts to provide transaction management services for the United States Postal Service’s 300 million square foot portfolio — underscoring the ongoing success of the Company’s public-sector outsourcing initiative. In addition, the Company announced an agreement with Walgreens to provide facilities management and project management services for more than 7,500 locations across the U.S., totaling more than 115 million square feet.

Geographically, the Americas was the Company’s fastest growing region with a 24% revenue increase.  Asia Pacific revenue rose by 19%, due primarily to strong performance in Australia, China and India.  Notwithstanding continued sovereign-debt concerns, EMEA revenue rose 16%, driven by leasing and outsourcing growth.

Revenue in the Company’s Global Investment Management business increased 23%. Following the end of the second quarter of 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of ING Group’s global listed real estate securities business, now known as CBRE Clarion Securities, and remains on schedule to close the acquisition of ING Group’s real estate investment management businesses in Europe and Asia later this year.

During the second quarter, the Company also completed three in-fill acquisitions designed to bolster its services platform: a valuation business in Australia; a retail property management business in central and eastern Europe and its former affiliate company in Switzerland.

Commenting on the business outlook, Mr. White said: “While we continue to be mindful of the risks to the current recovery, commercial real estate markets generally remain in the early stages of a cyclical upturn. This recovery is not unfolding consistently as macro-economic and market-specific factors cause pockets of strength and weakness. Despite this uneven recovery, our combination of depth, breadth, people and brand put us in a unique

2

position to capture opportunity and enhance our market leadership. As the recovery advances, we expect to see continued strong revenue increases along with operating leverage improvement and profit growth.”

Second-Quarter 2011 Segment Results

Americas Region (U.S., Canada and Latin America)

·                  Revenue rose 24% to $897.8 million, compared with $722.3 million for the second quarter of 2010.

·                  Operating income rose 36% to $98.2 million from $72.2 million for the prior-year second quarter.

·                  EBITDA totaled $115.4 million, up 28% from $89.8 million in last year’s second quarter.

·                  The region demonstrated good operating leverage, particularly in light of the reinstatement of compensation to pre-recession levels, which occurred at the tail end of the second quarter of 2010.

EMEA Region (primarily Europe)

·                  Revenue rose 16% to $261.1 million from $225.4 million for the second quarter of 2010. The increase was driven by growth in France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the U.K.

·                  Operating income rose 5% to $18.9 million compared with $18.0 million for the same period in 2010.

·                  EBITDA increased 8% to $21.4 million compared with $19.9 million in last year’s second quarter.

·                  Current-period results reflected higher compensation expense from select hiring in 2010 and early 2011 in anticipation of improving transaction revenue and in support of new initiatives and recently won contracts that should translate into meaningful revenue.

Asia Pacific Region (Asia, Australia and New Zealand)

·                  Revenue rose 19% to $188.5 million from $158.7 million for the second quarter of 2010.

·                  Operating income rose 48% to $16.0 million, compared with $10.8 million for the second quarter of 2010.

·                  EBITDA increased 36% to $17.4 million compared with $12.8 million for last year’s second quarter.

·                  The improved results reflect higher revenue in several countries, particularly Australia and New Zealand, China and India, while business conditions in Japan began to stabilize following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami.

Global Investment Management Business (investment management operations in the U.S., Europe and Asia)

·                  Revenue increased 23% to $57.6 million from $46.9 million in the second quarter of 2010, largely driven by higher asset management fees in the current-year period.

·                  Operating loss totaled $3.6 million compared with operating income of $3.4 million for the second quarter of 2010.

3

·                  EBITDA totaled $2.5 million compared with $10.8 million in the prior-year second quarter.

·                  Current-year operating results include a net carried interest incentive compensation accrual of $5.3 million compared with a $0.5 million net reversal of carried interest in the prior-year period.

·                  Current-year operating results were also negatively impacted by $4.8 million of costs associated with the acquisition of the ING REIM businesses.

·                  Assets under management totaled $39.1 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2011, up 4% from year-end 2010 and 16% from the second quarter of 2010. The second-quarter 2011 total does not yet include $21.1 billion of global listed real estate securities assets managed by CBRE Clarion Securities, which were acquired from ING Group on July 1, 2011.

Development Services (real estate development and investment activities primarily in the U.S.)

·                  Revenue totaled $17.2 million compared with $18.7 million for the second quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily due to lower rental revenue resulting from property dispositions.

·                  Operating income totaled $0.7 million as compared with an operating loss of $7.3 million for the same period in 2010, primarily driven by lower bonuses (largely due to prior-year property sales in excess of current-year sales) and lower real estate operating expenses as a result of property dispositions.

·                  EBITDA totaled $9.4 million compared with EBITDA of $28.4 million in the prior-year second quarter. Second-quarter 2010 EBITDA benefited from gains on the sale of two significant properties (reflected in equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries and income from discontinued operations, but not included in revenue), which did not occur to this extent in the current year. Additionally, activity attributed to non-controlling interests was unfavorable in the current-year period, while favorable in the prior-year period, due to improved overall earnings in entities with non-controlling interests. Equity income from unconsolidated subsidiaries; income from discontinued operations, and activity associated with non-controlling interests are all included in the calculation of EBITDA, but not operating income.

·                  Development projects in process totaled $4.9 billion, unchanged from year-end 2010 and up $0.5 billion from the second quarter of 2010. The inventory of pipeline deals rose to $1.4 billion, up $0.2 billion from year-end 2010 and $0.6 billion from the second quarter of 2010.

Six-Month Results

·                  Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 totaled $2.6 billion, an increase of 19% from $2.2 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

·                  Net income on a U.S. GAAP basis nearly doubled to $95.6 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared with $48.2 million, or $0.15 per diluted share for the same period in 2010.

·                  Excluding selected charges, net income totaled $107.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, for the current year-to-date period, an increase of 73% and 74%, respectively, from $62.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

·                  EBITDA rose 18% to $279.1 million for the first six months of 2011 from $236.6 million a year earlier.  Excluding selected charges, EBITDA rose 16% to $292.9

4

million in the current six-month period from $252.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Corporate Name Change

The Company also announced plans to change its corporate name to CBRE Group, Inc., effective January 1, 2012 in order to align its corporate name with its industry-leading CBRE brand. “This change is the natural next step in the evolution of our corporate identity,” said Mr. White. “Increasingly, our clients have come to know us as CBRE, and our highly visible CBRE logo has grown into one of the industry’s most powerful and well recognized brands. Adopting CBRE as our corporate name simplifies our identity and enables us to further capitalize on the advantage of our strong brand.”

incentivize producers; our ability to identify, acquire and integrate synergistic and accretive businesses; realization of values in investment funds to offset related incentive compensation expense; a decline in asset values in, or a reduction in earnings or cash flow from, our investment programs, as well as related litigation, liabilities and reputational harm; and our ability to comply with laws and regulations related to our international operations, including the anti-corruption laws of the U.S. and other countries.

Additional information concerning factors that may influence the Company’s financial information is discussed under “Risk Factors”, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” and “Forward-Looking Statements” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as well as in the Company’s press releases and other periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Such filings are available publicly and may be obtained on the Company’s Web site at www.cbre.com or upon written request from the CB Richard Ellis Investor Relations Department at investorrelations@cbre.com.

(1) Selected charges include integration and other costs related to acquisitions, amortization expense related to customer relationships acquired, cost containment expenses and the write-down of impaired assets.

(2) A reconciliation of net income attributable to CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc. to net income attributable to CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., as adjusted for selected charges, is provided in the section of this press release entitled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

(3) The Company’s management believes that EBITDA is useful in evaluating its operating performance compared to that of other companies in its industry because the calculation of EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions, which items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.  As a result, the Company’s management uses EBITDA as a measure to evaluate the operating performance of various business segments and for other discretionary purposes, including as a significant component when measuring its operating performance under its employee incentive programs. Additionally, management believes EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of the Company’s results from operations.

However, EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and when analyzing the Company’s operating performance, readers should use EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income determined in accordance with GAAP.  Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.  Furthermore, EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments.  The amounts shown for EBITDA also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in the Company’s debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and the Company’s ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments. Amounts shown for EBITDA, as adjusted (or normalized EBITDA), remove the impact of certain cash and non-cash charges related to acquisitions, cost containment and asset impairments that occur from time to time.

For a reconciliation of EBITDA and EBITDA, as adjusted to net income attributable to CB Richard Ellis Group, Inc., the most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the section of this press release titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
