| We improved our leasing revenues by 19.6%, driven by strong double-digit organic growth in office and industrial |
| So we're excited about that opportunity |
| I would say that, certainly we had great leasing performance in '23 |
| The recapitalization of these properties will lead to a reset in values and stronger leasing activity |
| This improvement reflected a more than doubling of our high margin asset management and servicing portfolio to $176 billion, the addition of Gerald Eve and continued organic growth from GCS |
| Newmark improved its leasing revenues by 20%, while overall industry leasing activity declined by more than 10% |
| Our significant outperformance was driven by strong double-digit organic growth in office and industrial |
| We also gained meaningful market share in capital markets |
| Due to the scale of our hiring, and our significant outperformance in the fourth quarter of 2023, we expect the majority of our year-over-year improvement in earnings to occur in the second and third quarters of 2024 |
| This improvement reflected the addition of Gerald Eve, an increase in our high margin asset management and servicing portfolio to $175.9 billion and continued organic growth from GCS |
| We're always looking for great talent, and that's exceptional people bring exceptional results |
| We improved our investment sales and origination revenues by 20.7% and 45.9% respectively, and outpaced the market in each of these categories |
| We also believe that we will gain market share, certainly getting into the affordable space, which adds -- we are now building out a private client part of our business |
| Our adjusted earnings per share grew by 43.8% to $0.46, and our adjusted EBITDA improved to $166.2 million, up 62.6% |
| Newmark is successfully executing on its strategy of being the best in each of its service lines |
| We continue to expect solid fundamentals with respect to industrial and retail leasing, which together represented over 40% of Newmark's leasing revenue in 2023, compared with just over 25% in 2019 |
| Newmark's revenues increased by over 23% in the quarter, with double-digit gains across every revenue category |
| We expect transaction volumes to accelerate in the second half of 2024, which coupled with Newmark's investments in Talon will drive our industry-leading revenue growth |
| We increased total revenues by 23.1% to $747.4 million, producing double-digit growth in every revenue category |
| This was the fourth consecutive quarter of leasing market share gains for Newmark as overall industry leasing activity was down by over 10% |
| As a service provider that does not own real estate, these maturities represent an enormous opportunity for us |
| We empower our extraordinary talent with world-class research, data analytics and technology to bring their best to Newmark's clients |
| This refinancing wave is expected to drive double-digit increases in commercial and multi-family originations this year and next |
| We attract the best of the best |
| Once volumes fully normalize, which we expect to be around the middle of 2025, and given our substantial investments, we expect our business to generate on an annual basis over $3 billion in revenue and over $630 million in adjusted EBITDA |
| Fees from management services, servicing and other grew by 19.4% |
| We anticipate both adjusted EBITDA and earnings per share to grow between 5% to 9% |
| The MBA expects debt to be up around 20% year-over-year in '24, and we would expect to maintain or grow our market share there, and then we would expect sales activity to be up year-over-year as well |
| We expect total revenues to grow between 3% and 7% |
| We continue to progress towards our goal of becoming the number one capital markets advisor in the US |

| Industry-wide investment sales activity was down by over 40% in the US and Europe, while US commercial and multi-family originations decreased by 25% |
| The difficulties that our clients may face will continue to drive them to seek our innovative financing solutions |
| Wanted to ask about the outlook again, and the phone was a bit difficult to hear |
| For '24, it could be down a little |
| Jade Rahmani And just lastly, on the recruitment front, there's been some high profile departures of late, so called superstar producers |
| Quality office assets continue to command a disproportionate share of the market's activity |
