Forward-Looking Statements

Statements in this document regarding Newmark that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. These include statements about the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, results, financial position, liquidity and outlook, which may constitute forward-looking statements and are subject to the risk that the actual impact may differ, possibly materially, from what is currently expected. Except as required by law, Newmark undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. For a discussion of additional risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, see Newmark's Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including, but not limited to, the risk factors and Special Note on Forward-Looking Information set forth in these filings and any updates to such risk factors and Special Note on Forward-Looking Information contained in subsequent reports on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K.

Notes Regarding Financial Tables and Metrics

Excel files with the Company's most recent quarterly financial results and metrics from the current period are accessible in the financial results press release at the "Investor Relations" section of http://www.ngkf.com. They are also available directly at http://ir.ngkf.com/investors/news-releases/financial-and-corporate-releases/default.aspx.

Other Items

Newmark Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: NMRK) ("Newmark" or "the Company") generally operates as "Newmark Knight Frank", "Newmark", "NKF", or derivations of these names. The discussion of financial results reflects only those businesses owned by the Company and does not include the results for Knight Frank or for the independently-owned offices that use some variation of the Newmark name in their branding or marketing. Throughout this document, certain percentage changes are described as "NMF" or "not meaningful figure".

The Company calculates volumes based on when loans are rate locked, which is consistent with how revenues are recorded for "Gains from mortgage banking activities/origination, net". Certain GSE multifamily volume statistics for the industry are based on when loans are sold and/or securitized, and typically lag those reported by Newmark by 30 to 45 days.

Unless otherwise stated, all results discussed in this document compare second quarter 2020 with the relevant year-earlier period. Certain reclassifications may have been made to previously reported amounts to conform to the current presentation and to show results on a consistent basis across periods. Any such changes would have had no impact on consolidated revenues or earnings under GAAP or for Adjusted Earnings, all else being equal. Certain numbers in the tables throughout this document may not sum due to rounding. Rounding may have also impacted the presentation of certain year-on-year percentage changes.

Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA

This presentation should be read in conjunction with Newmark's most recent financial results press releases. Unless otherwise stated, throughout this document Newmark refers to its income statement results only on an Adjusted Earnings basis. Newmark may also refer to "Adjusted EBITDA". U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is referred to as "GAAP". "GAAP income before income taxes and noncontrolling interests" and "Adjusted Earnings before noncontrolling interests and taxes" may be used interchangeably with "GAAP pre-tax earnings" and "pre-tax Adjusted Earnings", respectively. See the sections of this document including "Non-GAAP Financial Measures", "Adjusted Earnings Defined", "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Earnings Before Noncontrolling Interests and Taxes and GAAP Fully Diluted EPS to Post-Tax Adjusted EPS", "Fully Diluted Weighted-Average Share Count for GAAP and Adjusted Earnings", "Adjusted EBITDA Defined", and "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA", including any footnotes to these sections, for the complete and updated definitions of these non-GAAP terms and how, when and why management uses them, as well as for the differences between results under GAAP and non-GAAP for the periods discussed herein. Below is a summary of certain GAAP and non-GAAPresults for Newmark:

Newmark's pre-tax GAAP earnings were reduced by $33 million year-on-year in the second quarter due to non-cash items that are described in greater detail in the "Other Income" section of this release. But for these items, pre-tax GAAP earnings would have been down by 18% year-on-year. Newmark's pre-tax Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA were reduced by $12 million year-on-year in the second quarter due to changes in other income. Exclusive of these changes, Adjusted Earnings decreased 61% and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 52% year-on-year.

A discussion of GAAP, Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA and reconciliations of these items, as well as liquidity, to GAAP results are found later in this document, incorporated by reference, and also in our most recent financial results press release and/or are available at http://ir.ngkf.com/

THOUGHTS FROM THE CEO

Increasing Institutional Dry Powder1

(US$ Billions)

$197

$134

$79

"We attribute our results to three competitive advantages. First, our management services businesses performed well during the quarter, as our clients turned to Newmark for advice on their real estate portfolios, including new environmental safety requirements, managing costs associated with implementing these new standards, as well as assessing facility and employee readiness as companies plan their return to the workplace in the wake of the pandemic. Second, our GSE mortgage originations were strong in the quarter and we expect activity to remain healthy throughout the balance of the year. Our servicing portfolio grew by 7% year-over-year to over $65 billion, which will increase the significant recurring income from this asset. Third, Newmark outperformed the overall investment sales market, as total U.S. volumes fell by 68% year-on-year in the second quarter while our volumes declined by 58%.

We believe that the low interest rate environment coupled with significant availability of capital for investment in real estate assets will drive capital markets activity once price discovery occurs across property types. Newmark is well-positioned to benefit from periods of market disruption and its recovery due to the strength of our platform and the significant amount of talented professionals that have joined the Firm over the past several years. Our professionals' creativity, inventiveness, and drive provide us with a competitive advantage as economic activity accelerates."

2Q 2020 HIGHLIGHTS

  • Significantly outperformed the broader market in capital markets and debt originations
    • Gained market share and ranked third in 1H 2020 investment sales volumes, up from fifth in 2019, as per preliminary volumes data from Real Capital Analytics ("RCA")1
    • Newmark's GSE mortgage origination volumes increased 23% versus 14% industry growth
  • Management services business was active as clients sought advice on returning to the office safely
  • Expenses decreased 25% Y/Y, reflecting lower commission-based revenues and the previously announced plan to reduce $100mm in expenses related to support and operations functions in 2020
  • Maintained profitability and generated $47mm in cash flow from operations2 despite significantly lower transaction volumes
  • No material forbearance to date (<0.3% Fannie Mae UPB3) as of 6/30
    • Established a $125mm sublimit line of credit to fund potential principal and interest servicing advances on Fannie Mae portfolio (had ~$500,000 of servicing advances at 6/30)
  • Ended the quarter with $306mm in cash and equivalents, $448mm in mortgage servicing rights, and approximately $680mm of potential Nasdaq cash flow
    • The Company believes that these significant assets, taken together with Newmark's operating earnings potential, represent a very attractive investment
      1. RCA reported that U.S. investment sales volumes for the industry declined 68%, while Newmark volumes declined 58%.
      2. Reflects $47mm of net cash flow provided by operating activities excluding activity from loan originations and sales.
      3. "UPB" refers to unpaid principal balance. Including both Fannie Mae loans, Newmark had approximately 0.4% UPB in forbearance or seriously delinquent as of 6/30/2020 and total advances of approximately $1mm. FHA is responsible for all credit losses on these loans, while Newmark shares approximately 29% of credit

losses on its Fannie Mae portfolio on a pari passu basis.

(4) The estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights at quarter end was $448 million. Please see the slide titled "Significant Off-Balance Sheet Assets" in this

presentation for an illustration of how Newmark determines the value of the Nasdaq asset.

BUSINESS TRENDS

REVENUE

NEAR-TERM TRENDS

CATEGORY:

Clients continue to defer decisions on long term lease renewals and

expansions when possible, driving significantly lower near term volumes

Tenant restructuring and portfolio optimization will continue to increase in

Leasing & other

near term, driving consulting fee revenues

Commissions

Certain industries still active and likely to expand (i.e., life sciences, industrial,

e-commerce, and technology)

  • It is still too early to determine the full impact of COVID-19 on remote working and future space demand
  • Debt markets are beginning to stabilize but still require greater clarity around pricing
  • Private capital available and smaller deals still trading
  • CMBS and CLO originations expected to remain muted in 2H 2020
  • Financing associated with investment sales activity likely to decrease significantly in near term; however, mortgage brokerage remains active as

Capital Markets

maturities require debt and/or equity solutions

Loan sale advisory and special servicing picking up momentum as defaults

accelerate

Nearly $200B of industry dry powder and historically low interest rates will

serve as a catalyst for capital markets activity once markets stabilize and

price discovery begins

Multifamily and Industrial activity levels are expected to rebound before other

property types

BUSINESS TRENDS (CONT.)

REVENUE

NEAR-TERM TRENDS

CATEGORY:

Gains from

The GSEs financed approximately 70 percent of all multifamily originations in

mortgage

2008 and 2009, according to the Urban Institute, largely because alternative

banking

sources of financing pulled back significantly. Newmark therefore expects

activities/

the overall GSE/FHA market to perform well in times of overall market stress

origination,

GSE lending still available, and the outlook for the second half of 2020

net

appears favorable

Management and consulting businesses continue to operate with

opportunity to expand by assisting clients through these difficult market

Management

conditions

Newmark continues to assist clients preparing buildings and workspaces for

services,

a safe and orderly return to work

servicing fees

Mortgage servicing income expected to remain stable and recurring due to

and other

greater call protection vs. single family; escrow earnings from mortgage

servicing move in tandem with short term interest rates, which have

significantly declined YTD

  • Gains from mortgage banking activities/originations increased by 53% due to higher volumes and a more balanced mix between Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac originations
  • Management services, servicing fees and other were adversely impacted by lower non-feepass-through revenues and lower interest income on escrow balances but were otherwise unaffected by the pandemic
  • Declines in leasing and capital markets revenues were driven by a substantial decline in industry volumes

1. Revenue includes $98.8 million and $90.6 million in OMSR and pass-through revenues in 2Q 2020 and 2Q 2019, respectively. In the first halves of 2020 and 2019,

9

non-fee revenue was $194.7 million and $158.8 million, respectively. Together, Newmark refers to these items as "non-fee revenue."

2. Investment sales, mortgage brokerage, and agency lending revenues represents two separate line items: 1) Capital markets (which consists of investment sales

and non-originated mortgage brokerage), and 2) Gains from mortgage banking activities/origination, net (referred to here as "agency lending").

  • In addition to $306mm of cash and equivalents, Newmark has ~$767mm of future Nasdaq cash flow as of August 5, 20202 that is not yet reflected on the balance sheet.
    1. Reflects as-reported TTM Adjusted EBITDA; Newmark is subject to certain financial covenants under its revolving credit agreement, for purposes of which EBITDA

calculation includes additional addbacks for certain non-cash expense items not included in as-reported Adjusted EBITDA. As defined by the revolving credit

agreement, the Company's TTM Adjusted EBITDA was $532.2mm. Newmark's credit agreement is subject to financial covenants that do not permit the Company

14

to have: (a) a leverage ratio of greater than 3.25x; or (b) an interest coverage ratio of less than 4.0x. "Total Capital" includes "redeemable partnership interests",

"noncontrolling interests" and "total stockholders' equity".

Please refer to the section of this document titled "Significant Off-Balance Sheet Asset" for more information about Nasdaq.

SIGNIFICANT OFF-BALANCE SHEET ASSET

  • Newmark has the right to receive approximately 7.9mm Nasdaq common shares to be paid ratably over the next 8 years
  • Newmark monetized the 2020 - 2022 tranches of Nasdaq, while retaining all upside
    • Based on the price of Nasdaq shares1, value of the upside on monetized shares represents ~$121mm
  • Future Nasdaq payments through 2027 provide significant financial flexibility for Newmark
    • At current Nasdaq price, value of the non- monetized shares represents ~$647mm
  • None of this value is currently reflected on Newmark's balance sheet. The Company estimates these assets represent an additional $2.43 per Newmark share.1

Newmark's results under GAAP reflect the non-cashmark-to-market change of the Nasdaq Forwards, which hedge against potential downside risk from a decline in the share price of Nasdaq's common stock, while allowing Newmark to retain all the potential upside from any related share price appreciation. The value of the Nasdaq Forwards moves inversely with the price of Nasdaq common stock. Pre-tax Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA include Nasdaq-related income of ($0.1) million and ($3.0) million in 2Q 2020 and 2Q 2019, respectively. More information about the Nasdaq earn-out can be found in Newmar's most recent SEC filings on Form 10-Q or Form 10-K under "Nasdaq Monetization Transactions" and "Exchangeable Preferred Partnership Units and Forward Contract", as well as any updates regarding these topics in subsequent SEC filings.

15

OUTLOOK FOR 2020

Newmark is not providing revenue or earnings guidance for 2020 due to the ongoing uncertainty related to COVID-19. The Company currently expects industry volumes for the third quarter will be similar to the second quarter. Newmark expects support and operational costs will be approximately $40 million lower in the third quarter as compared with the year ago period.

Newmark records its annual income from Nasdaq in the third quarter of each year, which is approximately $109 million for Adjusted Earnings based on the August 5, 2020 closing price.

OVERVIEW OF CREDIT RISK AND SERVICING OBLIGATIONS

PROGRAM:

NEWMARK

ADVANCING

COMMENTS ON CREDIT RISK LOSSES AND SERVICING ADVANCES:

CREDIT RISK:

OBLIGATION:

Newmark shares credit losses on a pari passu basis with Fannie Mae (weighted

average loss sharing is approximately 29%) on its $21.5B portfolio. In the event of an

actual credit loss, all losses are allocated between the two parties based on the

contractual loss sharing arrangement. The portfolio's debt service coverage ratios was

Fannie Mae

Yes

Yes

1.98x and original loan to value ratio was 64% as of June 30, 2020.

If Newmark is required to advance funds on behalf of certain borrowers due to the

forbearance program under the CARES Act, the Company will advance principal and

interest for up to 6 months before reimbursement from Fannie Mae begins. All

advances are fully guaranteed by the GSEs and financeable at ~100% borrowing rate.

No(1)

Newmark does not share in Freddie Mac credit losses other than on $23mm in legacy

Freddie Mac

No

loans from a program no longer in existence. Due to the securitization structure,

advancing obligation falls to the Master Servicer (not Newmark).

FHA/HUD

No

Yes(2)

FHA/HUD assumes all credit losses. Newmark typically advances any scheduled

interest payments up to 3 months (until loan is assigned to HUD) before seeking

reimbursement, which is typically provided within 45 days.

CMBS

No

No

Newmark does not share in CMBS credit losses. Due to the securitization structure,

advancing obligation falls to the Master Servicer (not Newmark).

Other

No

No

The lender assumes all credit losses. No advancing obligation for Newmark (typically

whole loans owned by the life insurance company or affiliates).

Newmark has the contractual right to be reimbursed in full by Fannie Mae and Ginnie Mae for all servicer advances made during the COVID-19forbearance program. Given Newmark's superior credit loss history and more conservative portfolio metrics, we would expect cumulative forbearance advances for Newmark to be at or below the industry standard

24

(1)

Newmark has a de minimis amount (0.1% of the unpaid balance) of credit loss sharing arrangements on its Freddie Mac portfolio.

(2)

Ginnie Mae announced a financing mechanism for their forbearance program. Given the relatively small size of the Newmark FHA servicing portfolio ($1.5 billion

as of 6/30/20) and the availability of the Ginnie Mae facility, any servicing advances related to this portfolio are not expected be material for the Company.

U.S. RENT COLLECTION BY PROPERTY TYPE

Rent collections across all property types improved sequentially in June. In multifamily, the federal government has been a crucial backstop, utilizing Freddie/Fannie forbearance to prevent mass defaults and evictions, limiting economic damage in the short term. While retail has been one of the most vulnerable property types to COVID-19, a large improvement in rent collections, to nearly 50% in June, suggests that activity is returning.

NON-GAAP

DEFINITIONS AND

RECONCILIATION

TABLES

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures that differ from the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company include "Adjusted Earnings before noncontrolling interests and taxes", which is used interchangeably with "pre- tax Adjusted Earnings"; "Post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders", which is used interchangeably with "post-tax Adjusted Earnings"; "Adjusted EBITDA"; and "Liquidity". The definitions of these terms are below.

Adjusted Earnings Defined

Newmark uses non-GAAP financial measures, including "Adjusted Earnings before noncontrolling interests and taxes" and "Post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders", which are supplemental measures of operating results used by management to evaluate the financial performance of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Newmark believes that Adjusted Earnings best reflect the operating earnings generated by the Company on a consolidated basis and are the earnings which management considers when managing its business.

As compared with "Income (loss) before income taxes and noncontrolling interests" and "Net income (loss) for fully diluted shares", both prepared in accordance with GAAP, Adjusted Earnings calculations primarily exclude certain non-cash items and other expenses that generally do not involve the receipt or outlay of cash by the Company and/or which do not dilute existing stockholders. In addition, Adjusted Earnings calculations exclude certain gains and charges that management believes do not best reflect the ordinary results of Newmark. Adjusted Earnings is calculated by taking the most comparable GAAP measures and making adjustments for certain items with respect to compensation expenses, non-compensation expenses, and other income, as discussed below.

Calculations of Compensation Adjustments for Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA

Treatment of Equity-Based Compensation under Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company's Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA measures exclude all GAAP charges included in the line item "Equity-based compensation and allocations of net income to limited partnership units and FPUs" (or "equity-based compensation" for purposes of defining the Company's non-GAAP results) as recorded on the Company's GAAP Consolidated Statements of Operations and GAAP Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. These GAAP equity-based compensation charges reflect the following items:

  • Charges with respect to grants of exchangeability, which reflect the right of holders of limited partnership units with no capital accounts, such as LPUs and PSUs, to exchange these units into shares of common stock, or into partnership units with capital accounts, such as HDUs, as well as cash paid with respect to taxes withheld or expected to be owed by the unit holder upon such exchange. The withholding taxes related to the exchange of certain non-exchangeable units without a capital account into either common shares or units with a capital account may be funded by the redemption of preferred units such as PPSUs.

29

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

  • Charges with respect to preferred units. Any preferred units would not be included in the Company's fully diluted share count because they cannot be made exchangeable into shares of common stock and are entitled only to a fixed distribution. Preferred units are granted in connection with the grant of certain limited partnership units that may be granted exchangeability or redeemed in connection with the grant of shares of common stock at ratios designed to cover any withholding taxes expected to be paid. This is an acceptable alternative to the common practice among public companies of issuing the gross amount of shares to employees, subject to cashless withholding of shares, to pay applicable withholding taxes.
  • GAAP equity-based compensation charges with respect to the grant of an offsetting amount of common stock or partnership units with capital accounts in connection with the redemption of non-exchangeable units, including PSUs and LPUs.
  • Charges related to amortization of RSUs and limited partnership units.
  • Charges related to grants of equity awards, including common stock or partnership units with capital accounts
  • Allocations of net income to limited partnership units and FPUs. Such allocations represent the pro-rata portion of post-tax GAAP earnings available to such unit holders.

The amount of certain quarterly equity-based compensation charges is based upon the Company's estimate of such expected charges during the annual period, as described further below under "Methodology for Calculating Adjusted Earnings Taxes".

Virtually all of Newmark's key executives and producers have equity or partnership stakes in the Company and its subsidiaries and generally receive deferred equity or limited partnership units as part of their compensation. A significant percentage of Newmark's fully diluted shares are owned by its executives, partners and employees. The Company issues limited partnership units as well as other forms of equity-based compensation, including grants of exchangeability into shares of common stock, to provide liquidity to its employees, to align the interests of its employees and management with those of common stockholders, to help motivate and retain key employees, and to encourage a collaborative culture that drives cross-selling and growth.

All share equivalents that are part of the Company's equity-based compensation program, including REUs, PSUs, LPUs, certain HDUs, and other units that may be made exchangeable into common stock, as well as RSUs (which are recorded using the treasury stock method), are included in the fully diluted share count when issued or at the beginning of the subsequent quarter after the date of grant. Generally, limited partnership units other than preferred units are expected to be paid a pro-rata distribution based on Newmark's calculation of Adjusted Earnings per fully diluted share.

Certain Other Compensation-Related Items under Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA

Newmark also excludes various other GAAP items that management views as not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the given period from its calculation of Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA. These may include compensation- related items with respect to cost-saving initiatives, such as severance charges incurred in connection with headcount reductions as part of broad restructuring and/or cost savings plans.

30

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Calculation of Non-Compensation Adjustments for Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA

Newmark's calculation of pre-tax Adjusted Earnings excludes non-cash GAAP charges related to the following:

  • Amortization of intangibles with respect to acquisitions.
  • Gains attributable to originated mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "OMSRs").
  • Amortization of mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "MSRs"). Under GAAP, the Company recognizes OMSRs gains equal to the fair value of servicing rights retained on mortgage loans originated and sold. Subsequent to the initial recognition at fair value, MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value and amortized in proportion to the net servicing revenue expected to be earned. However, it is expected that any cash received with respect to these servicing rights, net of associated expenses, will increase Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA in future periods.
  • Various other GAAP items that management views as not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the given period, including non-compensation-related charges incurred as part of broad restructuring and/or cost savings plans. Such GAAP items may include charges for exiting leases and/or other long-term contracts as part of cost-saving initiatives, as well

as non-cash impairment charges related to assets, goodwill and/or intangibles created from acquisitions.

Calculation of Other (income) losses for Adjusted Earnings

Adjusted Earnings calculations also exclude certain other non-cash,non-dilutive, and/or non-economic items, which may, in some periods, include:

  • Unusual, one-time,non-ordinary or non-recurring gains or losses;
  • Non-cashGAAP asset impairment charges;
  • The impact of any unrealized non-cashmark-to-market gains or losses on "Other income (loss)" related to the variable share forward agreements with respect to Newmark's expected receipt of the Nasdaq payments in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and the recently settled 2019 Nasdaq payment (the "Nasdaq Forwards"); and/or
  • Mark-to-marketadjustments for non-marketable investments;
  • Certain other non-cash,non-dilutive, and/or non-economic items.

31

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Methodology for Calculating Adjusted Earnings Taxes

Although Adjusted Earnings are calculated on a pre-tax basis, Newmark also reports post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders. The Company defines post-tax Adjusted Earnings to fully diluted shareholders as pre-tax Adjusted Earnings reduced by the non-GAAP tax provision described below and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest for Adjusted Earnings.

The Company calculates its tax provision for post-tax Adjusted Earnings using an annual estimate similar to how it accounts for its income tax provision under GAAP. To calculate the quarterly tax provision under GAAP, Newmark estimates its full fiscal year GAAP income (loss) before noncontrolling interests and taxes and the expected inclusions and deductions for income tax purposes, including expected equity-based compensation during the annual period. The resulting annualized tax rate is applied to Newmark's quarterly GAAP income (loss) before income taxes and noncontrolling interests. At the end of the annual period, the Company updates its estimate to reflect the actual tax amounts owed for the period.

To determine the non-GAAP tax provision, Newmark first adjusts pre-tax Adjusted Earnings by recognizing any, and only, amounts for which a tax deduction applies under applicable law. The amounts include charges with respect to equity-based compensation; certain charges related to employee loan forgiveness; certain net operating loss carryforwards when taken for statutory purposes; and certain charges related to tax goodwill amortization. These adjustments may also reflect timing and measurement differences, including treatment of employee loans; changes in the value of units between the dates of grants of exchangeability and the date of actual unit exchange; variations in the value of certain deferred tax assets; and liabilities and the different timing of permitted deductions for tax under GAAP and statutory tax requirements.

After application of these adjustments, the result is the Company's taxable income for its pre-tax Adjusted Earnings, to which Newmark then applies the statutory tax rates to determine its non-GAAP tax provision. Newmark views the effective tax rate on pre-tax Adjusted Earnings as equal to the amount of its non-GAAP tax provision divided by the amount of pre-tax Adjusted Earnings.

Generally, the most significant factor affecting this non-GAAP tax provision is the amount of charges relating to equity-based compensation. Because the charges relating to equity-based compensation are deductible in accordance with applicable tax laws, increases in such charges have the effect of lowering the Company's non-GAAP effective tax rate and thereby increasing its post-tax Adjusted Earnings.

Newmark incurs income tax expenses based on the location, legal structure and jurisdictional taxing authorities of each of its subsidiaries. Certain of the Company's entities are taxed as U.S. partnerships and are subject to the Unincorporated Business Tax ("UBT") in New York City. Any U.S. federal and state income tax liability or benefit related to the partnership income or loss, with the exception of UBT, rests with the unit holders rather than with the partnership entity. The Company's consolidated financial statements include U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on the Company's allocable share of the U.S. results of operations. Outside of the U.S., Newmark is expected to operate principally through subsidiary corporations subject to local income taxes. For these reasons, taxes for Adjusted Earnings are expected to be presented to show the tax provision the consolidated Company would expect to pay if 100% of earnings were taxed at global corporate rates.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Calculations of Pre- and Post-Tax Adjusted Earnings per Share

Newmark's pre- and post-tax Adjusted Earnings per share calculations assume either that:

  • The fully diluted share count includes the shares related to any dilutive instruments, but excludes the associated expense, net of tax, when the impact would be dilutive; or
  • The fully diluted share count excludes the shares related to these instruments, but includes the associated expense, net of tax.

The share count for Adjusted Earnings excludes certain shares and share equivalents expected to be issued in future periods but not yet eligible to receive dividends and/or distributions. Each quarter, the dividend payable to Newmark's stockholders, if any, is expected to be determined by the Company's Board of Directors with reference to a number of factors, including post-tax Adjusted Earnings per share. Newmark may also pay a pro- rata distribution of net income to limited partnership units, as well as to Cantor for its noncontrolling interest. The amount of this net income, and therefore of these payments per unit, would be determined using the above definition of Adjusted Earnings per share on a pre-tax basis.

The declaration, payment, timing and amount of any future dividends payable by the Company will be at the discretion of its Board of Directors using the fully diluted share count. In addition, the non-cash preferred dividends are excluded from Adjusted Earnings per share as Newmark expects to redeem the related exchangeable preferred limited partnership units ("EPUs") with Nasdaq shares. For more information on any share count adjustments, see the table in this document and/or the Company's most recent financial results release titled "Fully Diluted Weighted- Average Share Count for GAAP and Adjusted Earnings".

Management Rationale for Using Adjusted Earnings

Newmark's calculation of Adjusted Earnings excludes the items discussed above because they are either non-cash in nature, because the anticipated benefits from the expenditures are not expected to be fully realized until future periods, or because the Company views results excluding these items as a better reflection of the underlying performance of Newmark's ongoing operations. Management uses Adjusted Earnings in part to help it evaluate, among other things, the overall performance of the Company's business, to make decisions with respect to the Company's operations, and to determine the amount of dividends payable to common stockholders and distributions payable to holders of limited partnership units. Dividends payable to common stockholders and distributions payable to holders of limited partnership units are included within "Distributions to stockholders" and "Earnings distributions to limited partnership interests and noncontrolling interests," respectively, in our unaudited, condensed, consolidated statements of cash flows.

The term "Adjusted Earnings" should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss). The Company views Adjusted Earnings as a metric that is not indicative of liquidity, or the cash available to fund its operations, but rather as a performance measure. Pre- and post-tax Adjusted Earnings, as well as related measures, are not intended to replace the Company's presentation of its GAAP financial results.

However, management believes that these measures help provide investors with a clearer understanding of Newmark's financial performance and offer useful information to both management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends related to the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Management believes that the GAAP and Adjusted Earnings measures of financial performance should be considered together.

For more information regarding Adjusted Earnings, see the sections of this document and/or the Company's most recent financial results press release titled "Reconciliation of GAAP Income to Adjusted Earnings and GAAP Fully Diluted EPS to Post-tax Adjusted EPS", including the related footnotes, for details about how Newmark's non-GAAP results are reconciled to those under GAAP.

33

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Adjusted EBITDA Defined

Newmark also provides an additional non-GAAP financial performance measure, "Adjusted EBITDA", which it defines as GAAP "Net income (loss) available to common stockholders", adjusted to add back the following items:

  • Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest;
  • Provision (benefit) for income taxes;
  • OMSR revenue;
  • MSR amortization;
  • Other depreciation and amortization;
  • Equity-basedcompensation and allocations of net income to limited partnership units and FPUs;
  • Various other GAAP items that management views as not reflective of the Company's underlying performance for the given period, including non-compensation-related charges incurred as part of broad restructuring and/or cost savings plans. Such GAAP items may include charges for exiting leases and/or other long-term contracts as part of cost-saving initiatives, as well as non-cash impairment charges related to assets, goodwill and/or intangibles created from acquisitions.
  • Other non-cash,non-dilutive, and/or non-economic items, which may, in certain periods, include the impact of any unrealized non-cashmark-to-market gains or losses on "other income (loss)" related to the variable share forward agreements with respect to Newmark's expected receipt of the Nasdaq payments in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and the recently settled 2019 Nasdaq payment (the "Nasdaq Forwards"), as well as mark-to-market adjustments for non-marketable investments; and
  • Interest expense.

Newmark's calculation of Adjusted EBITDA excludes certain items discussed above because they are either non-cash in nature, because the anticipated benefits from the expenditures are not expected to be fully realized until future periods, or because the Company views excluding these items as a better reflection of the underlying performance Newmark's ongoing operations. The Company's management believes that its Adjusted EBITDA measure is useful in evaluating Newmark's operating performance, because the calculation of this measure generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions, which would include impairment charges of goodwill and intangibles created from acquisitions. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. As a result, the Company's management uses this measure to evaluate operating performance and for other discretionary purposes. Newmark believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more complete picture of the Company's financial results and operations.

Since Newmark's Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP, investors should use this measure in addition to GAAP measures of net income when analyzing Newmark's operating performance. Because not all companies use identical EBITDA calculations, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow or GAAP cash flow from operations because the Company's Adjusted EBITDA does not consider certain cash requirements, such as tax and debt service payments.

For more information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, see the section of this document and/or the Company's most recent financial results press release titled "Reconciliation of GAAP Income to Adjusted EBITDA", including the related footnotes, for details about how Newmark's non-GAAP results are reconciled to those under GAAP EPS.

34

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (CONTINUED)

Timing of Outlook for Certain GAAP and Non-GAAP Items

Newmark anticipates providing forward-looking guidance for GAAP revenues and for certain non-GAAP measures from time to time. However, the Company does not anticipate providing an outlook for other GAAP results. This is because certain GAAP items, which are excluded from Adjusted Earnings and/or Adjusted EBITDA, are difficult to forecast with precision before the end of each period. The Company therefore believes that it is not possible for it to have the required information necessary to forecast GAAP results or to quantitatively reconcile GAAP forecasts to non-GAAP forecasts with sufficient precision without unreasonable efforts. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. The relevant items that are difficult to predict on a quarterly and/or annual basis with precision and may materially impact the Company's GAAP results include, but are not limited, to the following:

  • Certain equity-based compensation charges that may be determined at the discretion of management throughout and up to the period-end;
  • Unusual, one-time,non-ordinary, or non-recurring items;
  • The impact of gains or losses on certain marketable securities, as well as any gains or losses related to associated mark-to- market movements and/or hedging including with respect to the Nasdaq Forwards. These items are calculated using period- end closing prices;
  • Non-cashasset impairment charges, which are calculated and analyzed based on the period-end values of the underlying assets. These amounts may not be known until after period-end;
  • Acquisitions, dispositions and/or resolutions of litigation, which are fluid and unpredictable in nature.

Liquidity Defined

Newmark may also use a non-GAAP measure called "liquidity". The Company considers liquidity to be comprised of the sum of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, and reverse repurchase agreements (if any), less securities lent out in securities loaned transactions and repurchase agreements. The Company considers liquidity to be an important metric for determining the amount of cash that is available or that could be readily available to the Company on short notice.

For more information regarding liquidity, see the section of this document and/or the Company's most recent financial results press release titled "Liquidity Analysis", including any related footnotes, for details about how Newmark's non-GAAP results are reconciled to those under GAAP.

  2. Includes Non-cash GAAP charges related to the amortization of intangibles with respect to acquisitions.
  3. Adjusted Earnings calculations exclude non-cash GAAP gains attributable to originated mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "OMSRs") and non-cash GAAP amortization of mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "MSRs"). Under GAAP, Newmark recognizes OMSRs gains equal to the fair value of servicing rights retained on mortgage loans originated and sold. Subsequent to the initial recognition at fair value, MSRs are carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value and amortized in proportion to the net servicing revenue expected to be earned. However, it is expected that any cash received with respect to these servicing rights, net of associated expenses, will increase Adjusted Earnings in future periods.
  4. Includes $1.3 million of charges the Company does not consider a part of its ongoing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Includes $12.8 million of acquisition earnout reversals, $1.3 million of charges the Company does not consider a part of its ongoing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Earnings

Newmark's pre-tax GAAP earnings were reduced by $33 million year-on-year in the second quarter due to the largely non-cash items shown in the table above. Excluding these items, pre-tax GAAP earnings would have been down by 18% year-on-year. Newmark's pre- tax Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA were reduced by $12 million year-on-year in the second quarter due to changes in other income. Exclusive of this change, pre-tax Adjusted Earnings decreased 61% and Adjusted EBITDA decreased 52% year-on-year. Newmark records its annual income from Nasdaq in the third quarter of each year, which is expected to be approximately $120 million for GAAP and $109 million for pre-tax Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA as of the August 5, 2020 closing price.

Newmark's other income under GAAP includes non-cashmark-to-market valuation adjustments to the Nasdaq Forwards1, which hedge against potential downside risk from a decline in the share price of Nasdaq's common stock, while allowing the Company to retain all the potential upside from any related share price appreciation related to the Earn-out. The value of the Forwards moves inversely with the price of Nasdaq common stock. Due to the 26% increase in the Nasdaq stock price during the second quarter of 2020, the Company recognized a $23 million non-cashmark-to-market loss on the Forwards under GAAP. However, the notional pre-tax value of the unmonetized portion of the Earn-out expected to be received by the Company increased by $195 million during the same period to approximately $680 million as of June 30, 2020 and further increased to $787 million as of yesterday's closing price.
