Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On April 8, 2026, Cushman & Wakefield Ltd. (the “Company”) made available certain recast historical financial information for quarterly periods within 2024 and 2025 on the Investor Relations section of its website at https://ir.cushmanwakefield.com, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Company will no longer report “service line fee revenue”, as well as the following non-GAAP financial measures: (i) Adjusted EBITDA margin, (ii) Segment operating expenses and (iii) Fee-based operating expenses. The Company also revised the definition of “Cost of gross contract reimbursables” to include reimbursed costs including client-dedicated labor, subcontractor costs and third-party consumables specific to cost-based client contracts. Such costs will now be reported as “Gross contract costs” and comparative periods have been recast to conform with the revised presentation and definition. These costs are presented on a gross basis in total costs and expenses (with the corresponding fees included in revenue) and primarily relate to Services. The changes are intended to better align the Company’s reporting of financial performance with industry competitors and enhance decision making by the Company’s management. In addition, the Company refined the allocation of corporate costs to better align with results from our reportable segments, which impacted previously reported Net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA by segment with no impact to consolidated results. The reporting changes have no impact on the Company’s total revenue, consolidated net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share or cash flows for any of the previously reported periods.
The recast financial information furnished in Exhibit 99.1 hereto is included for supplemental purposes only. The information furnished in this Item 7.01, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
