DISCUSSION OF CERTAIN FINANCIAL RESULTS

Newmark's "Other income (loss), net" under GAAP includes gains and losses related to its Nasdaq stock. The Company received 6,222,340 Nasdaq shares, recording a gain of $1,093.9 million based on the June 30, 2021 closing price of $175.80. Between that date and March 31, 2022, the Company sold 100% of these shares, which contributed to gains in the second through fourth quarters of 2021 and a loss in the first quarter of 2022, all recorded as part of GAAP other income or loss. In aggregate, Newmark sold its Nasdaq stock over this timeframe for the effective price of $180.66 per share, resulting in cumulative proceeds of $1,124.1 million and an additional net gain of $30.2 million.5 Excluding the Impact of Nasdaq, Newmark's GAAP earnings would have improved substantially year-on-year in the first quarter of 2022.

5 The $1,093.9 million gain recorded for the second quarter of 2021 was based on the June 30, 2021 closing price of $175.80 per share. The effective price per share of Nasdaq is: (a) the sum of all realized gains related to the 6,222,340 shares from June 30, 2021 through March 31, 2022 divided by (b) that number of shares. These realized gains include all proceeds related to open market sales, hedging transactions, and dividends paid to Nasdaq stockholders. The numerator used to calculate the effective price also reflects the 944,329 shares the Company used to settle the 2021 and 2022 Nasdaq Forwards, based on a price of $176.36 per share. Excluding these 944,329 shares, the effective price was $181.43 per share. All Nasdaq closing prices are nominal as of those dates and not adjusted for any subsequent dividends.

REVENUE DETAIL7

Consolidated Revenues (USD millions)	1Q22	1Q21	Change
Management services, servicing fees, and other	$233.1	$187.8	24.2%
Leasing and other commissions	199.0	147.4	34.9%
Investment sales	152.1	101.5	49.8%
Commercial mortgage origination, net	94.1	67.3	39.9%
Total revenues	678.2	504.0	34.6%

Newmark's total revenue growth of 34.6% was over 80% organic, and reflected ongoing market share gains and strong U.S. market growth. The Company continued to benefit from increased activity across most major property types, including multifamily, office, lodging, and retail.

Revenues from management services, servicing fees, and other increased by 24.2%, as Newmark continued to invest in these recurring revenue businesses. This growth reflected double-digit percentage improvements in fee revenues from Valuation & Advisory, servicing and related other revenue, the Company's consulting and outsourcing businesses, and acquisitions. On a fee-revenue basis, management services, servicing fees, and other grew by 55.2%.

Newmark's investment sales volumes increased by 62.3% to a first quarter record of $19.0 billion, which outpaced the industry.On the strength of its multifamily platform, Newmark generated its best-ever first quarter total debt volumes of $12.0 billion, which were up by 85.5%. Newmark's total debt volumes in multifamily improved by 105.9% to $7.4 billion, as the Company continued its market leading growth even as GSE multifamily volumes declined by 13% industry-wide. Given the 11% year-on-year increase in full year lending caps, the Company anticipates strong improvements in industry-wide GSE multifamily activity over the remainder of 2022.8

CONSOLIDATED EXPENSES9

Consolidated Expenses (USD millions)	1Q22	1Q21	Change
Compensation and employee benefits under GAAP	$382.6	$289.1	32.3%
Equity-based compensation and allocations of net income to limited partnership units and FPUs	16.9	14.2	18.6%
Non-compensation expenses under GAAP	180.2	134.5	34.0%
Total expenses under GAAP	579.7	437.8	32.4%
Compensation and employee benefits for Adjusted Earnings	381.3	288.2	32.3%
Non-compensation expenses for Adjusted Earnings	149.5	116.6	28.2%
Total expenses for Adjusted Earnings	530.8	404.8	31.1%

Newmark's total Adjusted Earnings expenses were up due to $77.1 million in variable compensation primarily related to growth in commission-based revenues, $35.8 million related to acquisitions, and increased costs due to higher business activity.

6 See the section of this document titled "Other Useful Information".

7 The Company's total revenues include pass-through management services revenues (which equal their related expenses) and revenues related to originated mortgage servicing rights ("OMSRs"). Newmark may refer to these two items together as "non-fee revenue", and the remainder of its top line as "fee revenues". In the first quarters of 2022 and 2021, fee revenues were $571.0 million and $387.6 million, respectively, while non-fee revenues were $107.3 million and $116.4 million. Details on current and historical amounts for fee and non-fee revenues are available in the Company's supplemental Excel tables. For a discussion of a recast of various revenue items, and for more information on industry volumes, please see the section of this document titled "Other Useful Information."

8 On October 13, 2021, the Federal Housing Finance Agency ("FHFA") increased the 2022 multifamily loan purchase caps for both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to $78 billion each, compared with $70 billion each in 2021. This was based on FHFA's projections of the overall growth of the multifamily originations market.

9 Please see "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for information on how non-cash GAAP gains attributable to OMSRs and GAAP amortization of mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") affect non-GAAP results.

Nasdaq Impact	$(87.6)	$(3.2)
Mark-to-market gains on non-marketable investments, net	1.6	-
Other items, net	-	1.0
Other income (loss), net under GAAP	(86.0)	(2.2)
Exclude:
Nasdaq Impact	87.6	5.6
Mark-to-market gains on non-marketable investments, net	(1.6)	-
Other income, net for Pre-tax Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA	-	3.4

Newmark's "Other income (loss), net under GAAP includes gains and losses related to its Nasdaq stock, which was sold during the quarter. "Other income (loss), net for Pre-tax Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA" excludes the Impact of Nasdaq. Between June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2022, Newmark sold 100% of its Nasdaq stock for the effective price of $180.66 per share, resulting in a cumulative proceeds of $1,124.1 million. This additional net gain was $30.2 million higher than the amount recorded on June 30, 2021.

TAXES AND NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

Taxes (USD millions)	1Q22	1Q21	Change
GAAP provision for income taxes	$4.0	$10.6	(62.2)%
Provision for income taxes for Adjusted Earnings	20.3	10.7	89.9%
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for GAAP	0.4	11.5	(96.9)%
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests for Adjusted Earnings	0.0	0.7	(94.8)%

Taxes and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests generally move in tandem with the Company's earnings. Newmark's non-GAAP tax rate of 18.4% in the first quarter of 2022 was consistent with its outlook of 17% to 19% for the year.

CONSOLIDATED SHARE COUNT10

Consolidated Share Count (shares in millions)	1Q22	1Q21	Change
Fully diluted weighted-average share count under GAAP	252.8	271.2	(6.8)%
Fully diluted weighted-average share count for Adjusted Earnings	252.8	271.2	(6.8)%
Fully diluted period-end share count	253.5	268.9	(5.7)%

Newmark continued to repurchase shares subsequent to the end of the quarter. As of April 28, 2022, Newmark had $317.8 million remaining under its $400 million share repurchase and unit redemption authorization. Newmark's repurchases from January 1 through April 27, 2022 are summarized below.

Fully Diluted Share Count Reduction	January 1 - March 31, 2022	April 1 - 28, 2022	YTD Total
Share and/or units repurchased or redeemed (in millions)	1.7	5.7	7.4
Average price per share/unit	$18.35	$14.01	$15.01

10 "Spot" may be used interchangeably with the end-of-period share count. Newmark's fully diluted period-end share count for Adjusted Earnings as of March 31, 2022 included 196.0 million Class A common shares, 21.3 million Class B common shares, (27.5) million of treasury stock, 55.6 million limited partnership units and 8.1 million of other share equivalents. Newmark's fully diluted period-end share count for Adjusted Earnings as of March 31, 2021 included 163.5 million Class A common shares, 21.3 million Class B common shares, (6.4) million of treasury stock, 83.0 million limited partnership units and 1.5 million of other share equivalents. Furthermore, Newmark's fully diluted share count moves in tandem with its stock price over a given period, all else equal, due to the treatment of RSUs under the treasury stock method. Therefore, the 59% increase in the Company's stock price during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022 led to a corresponding increase in the number of RSUs included in the first quarter of 2022. In addition, the fully diluted weighted-average share count under GAAP may differ in certain periods from the fully diluted weighted-average share count for Adjusted Earnings in order to avoid anti-dilution. This also impacts GAAP net income for fully diluted shares.

SELECT BALANCE SHEET DATA11

Select Balance Sheet Data (USD millions)	March 31, 2022	December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents	$442.8	$191.3
Liquidity	442.8	575.9
Long-term debt	542.5	545.2
Total Equity	1,635.3	1,685.1

The Company's liquidity declined from year end due to the sale of its Nasdaq stock. Newmark's quarter-end liquidity also reflected the repurchase or redemption of 1.7 million Newmark shares for $30.9 million and normal first quarter uses of working capital. Including the Impact of Nasdaq, the 2021 Equity Event, and other uses of capital, Newmark's liquidity increased by 201.5% year-on-year compared with $146.9 million as of March 31, 2021, while its net leverage ratio improved to less than 0.2 times versus 1.9 times over the same timeframe. Newmark's liquidity and its $600 million undrawn credit facility provide the Company with over $1 billion of available capital, which it expects use to invest in growth and to return cash to shareholders while continuing to operate with investment-grade credit metrics.

OUTLOOK FOR 2022

Despite the current macroeconomic environment, given Newmark's strong first quarter performance and revenue visibility for the second quarter, the Company continues to have confidence in its guidance, and is reiterating its full year outlook.

2022 Metric (in millions, except tax rate)	2021 Actual	Guidance	Change YoY
Total Revenues	$2,906.4	$3,000 - $3,100	3% - 7%
Adjusted EBITDA	$597.5	$620 - $650	4% - 9%
Adjusted Earnings Tax Rate	18.9%	17% - 19%
Fully Diluted Weighted Average Share Count for Adjusted Earnings	264.0	(2% - 3%)

This guidance reflects an expected decline in no margin, non-fee revenues of between 6% and 8% in 2022 compared with $516.9 million in 2021. The Company's outlook excludes the potential impact of any material future acquisitions and is subject to change based on various macroeconomic, social, political, and other factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

OTHER USEFUL INFORMATION

Year-on-Year Share Count Reduction

The year-on-year reduction in share count reflects the Impact of the 2021 Equity Event, open market share repurchases, or other redemptions. The "Impact the 2021 Equity Event" is defined in the section of this document called "Excluded Compensation-Related Items with Respect to the 2021 Equity Event under Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA (Beginning in Third Quarter 2021, as Updated)" under "Non-GAAP Financial Measures". For additional details on how the 2021 Equity Event impacted share count, see the section of the Company's second quarter 2021 financial results press release titled "Additional Details About the Impact of Nasdaq and the 2021 Equity Event" and the related SEC filing on Form 8-K, as well as any subsequent disclosures in filings on Forms 10-Q and/or 10-K.

Revenue and Non-GAAP Earnings Recast

The Company adjusted its line items under "Revenue Detail". "Gains from mortgage banking activities/origination, net" has been combined with commercial mortgage brokerage revenues as "Commercial mortgage origination, net", while "Investment sales" is a stand-alone line-item. This change in presentation had no impact on any period's consolidated revenues or earnings. Since the second quarter of 2021, Newmark has reported Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA excluding the Impact of Nasdaq and the 2021 Equity Event. Figures for these items in prior periods under their current and former presentations are contained in both the fourth quarter 2021 and first quarter 2022 Excel supplements on Newmark's investor relations website.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2022, the Company has reclassified an immaterial amount of revenues related to its flexible workspace business as fee revenues from non-fee revenues for all periods from April 1, 2021 onwards, as shown in the first quarter 2022 supplemental Excel tables on its website.

Recent Acquisitions

Newmark acquired two companies in April of 2022. For more information, please see the Company's investor relations website or the "Media" section of its main website for the press releases titled "Newmark Acquires Esteemed Boston-Based Firm McCall &

11 "Total equity" in this table is the sum of "redeemable partnership interests," "noncontrolling interests" and "total stockholders' equity". "Long-term debt" in this table excludes "Warehouse facilities collateralized by U.S. Government Sponsored Enterprises". Newmark uses its warehouse lines and repurchase agreements for short-term funding of mortgage loans originated under its GSE and FHA lending programs, and such amounts are generally offset by "Loans held for sale, at fair value" on the balance sheet. These loans are typically sold within 45 days. Loans made using Newmark's warehouse lines are recourse to Berkeley Point Capital LLC, but non-recourse to Newmark Group. "Liquidity", when shown, excludes marketable securities that have been financed. See the section titled "Liquidity Defined" and the related reconciliation tables later in this document. "Net debt", when used, is defined as total debt, net of cash or, if applicable, total liquidity, while "net leverage", when used, equals net debt divided by trailing twelve month Adjusted EBITDA. Nasdaq-related gains includes dividend income and other Nasdaq-related items impacting the balance sheet.

Industry Volumes

Newmark's investment sales figures include investment sales and equity advisory transactions, while mortgage brokerage figures include the Company's non-originated debt placement transactions, all measured in notional terms. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac together are also called the "GSEs", while the Federal Housing Administration is also called the "FHA." Mortgage brokerage and GSE/FHA originations together are "total debt". The Company calculates its notional origination volumes based on when loans are rate locked, which is consistent with how certain revenues are recorded as part of "Commercial mortgage origination, net".

The Company's mix of GSE/FHA originations, and therefore revenues, can vary depending on the size of loans, as well by the categories of loans with respect to the FHA, Freddie Mac, and different Fannie Mae structures. The notional volumes reported by the GSEs are based on when loans are sold and/or securitized, and typically lag those reported by Newmark or estimates from the Mortgage Bankers' Association ("MBA") by 30 to 45 days. Newmark calculates its GSE market share based on delivery for enhanced comparability. Any overall industry investment sales market share and volume data discussed herein are preliminary and from Real Capital Analytics ("RCA") and Newmark Research, while any GSE data is from Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Newmark Research. Any U.S. industry debt volumes are based on the MBA commercial/multifamily origination index, unless otherwise noted. RCA's preliminary first quarter 2022 U.S. investment sales figures indicate that industry volumes were up 56% year-on-year, or up 45% excluding entity deals

Other Items

Throughout this press release, certain other 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. Unless otherwise stated, any such changes would have had no impact on consolidated total revenues or earnings under GAAP or for Adjusted Earnings, all else being equal. Certain numbers in the tables or elsewhere throughout this document may not sum due to rounding. Rounding may have also impacted the presentation of certain year-on-year percentage changes. Decreases in losses may be shown as positive percentage changes in the financial tables. Changes from negative figures to positive figures may be calculated using absolute values, resulting in positive percentage changes in the tables.

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.

•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

9

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.

The Company also excludes compensation charges related to non-cash GAAP gains attributable to originated mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "OMSRs") because these gains are also excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA.

Excluded Compensation-Related Items with Respect to the 2021 Equity Event under Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA (Beginning in Third Quarter 2021, as Updated)

Newmark does not view the GAAP compensation charges related to 2021 Equity Event that were not equity-based compensation as being reflective of its ongoing operations (the "Impact of the 2021 Equity Event"). These consisted of charges relating to cash paid to independent contractors for their withholding taxes and the cash redemption of HDUs. These were recorded as expenses based on Newmark's previous non-GAAP results, but were excluded in the recast non-GAAP results beginning in the third quarter of 2021 for the following reasons:

•But for the 2021 Equity Event, the items comprising such charges would have otherwise been settled in shares and been recorded as equity-based compensation in future periods, as is the Company's normal practice. Had this occurred, such amounts would have been excluded from Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA, and would also have resulted in higher fully diluted share counts, all else equal.

•Newmark views the fully diluted share count reduction related to the 2021 Equity Event to be economically similar to the common practice among public companies of issuing the net amount of common shares to employees for their vested stock-based compensation, selling a portion of the gross shares pay applicable withholding taxes, and separately making open market repurchases of common shares.

•There was nothing comparable to the 2021 Equity Event in 2020 and nothing similar is currently contemplated after 2021. Accordingly, the only prior period recast with respect to the 2021 Equity Event was the second quarter of 2021.

Calculation of Non-Compensation Expense Adjustments for Adjusted Earnings

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

•Amortization of intangibles with respect to acquisitions.

•Amortization of mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "MSRs"). Under GAAP, the Company recognizes OMSRs 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.

Non-Cash Adjustment for Originated Mortgage Servicing Rights Revenue for Adjusted Earnings

Newmark's calculation of pre-tax Adjusted Earnings excludes non-cash GAAP gains attributable to OMSRs. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, OMSRs are no longer included in non-compensation adjustments for Adjusted Earnings but instead shown as a separate line item in the Company's "Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income Available to Common Stockholders to Adjusted Earnings Before Noncontrolling Interests and Taxes and GAAP Fully Diluted EPS to Post-Tax Adjusted EPS". This presentation has no impact on previously reported Adjusted Earnings.

Calculation of Other (income) losses for Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA (Beginning in Third Quarter 2021, as Updated)

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-cash GAAP asset impairment charges.

•The impact of any unrealized non-cash mark-to-market gains or losses on "Other income (loss)" related to the variable share forward agreements with respect to Newmark's receipt of the Nasdaq payments in 2021 and 2022 and the 2020 Nasdaq payment (the "Nasdaq Forwards").

10

•Mark-to-market adjustments for non-marketable investments.

•Certain other non-cash, non-dilutive, and/or non-economic items.

Due to the sale of Nasdaq's U.S. fixed income business in the second quarter of 2021, the Nasdaq Earn-out and related Forward settlements were accelerated, less certain previously disclosed adjustments. Because these shares were originally expected to be received over a 15 year period ending in 2027, the Earn-out had been included in calculations of Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA under Newmark's previous non-GAAP methodology. Due to the acceleration of the Earn-out and the Nasdaq Forwards, the Company now views results excluding certain items related to the Earn-out to be a better reflection of the underlying performance of Newmark's ongoing operations. Therefore, beginning with the third quarter of 2021, other (income) losses for Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the impact of the below items. These items may collectively be referred to as the "Impact of Nasdaq".

•Realized gains related to the accelerated receipt on June 25, 2021 of Nasdaq shares.

•Realized gains or losses and unrealized mark-to-market gains or losses with respect to Nasdaq shares received prior to the Earn-out acceleration.

•The impact of any unrealized non-cash mark-to-market gains or losses on "Other income (loss)" related to the variable share forward agreements with respect to Newmark's receipt of the Nasdaq payments in 2021 and 2022 and the 2020 Nasdaq payment (the "Nasdaq Forwards"). This item was historically excluded under the previous non-GAAP definitions.

•Other items related to the Earn-out.

Upon further consideration, Newmark's calculations of non-GAAP "Other income (loss)" will continue to include dividend income on Nasdaq shares, as these dividends contribute to cash flow and are generally correlated to Newmark's interest expense on short term borrowing against such shares. All other things being equal, as Newmark sells Nasdaq shares, both its interest expense and dividend income will decline.

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 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 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.

CALCULATIONS OF PRE- AND POST-TAX ADJUSTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

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

11

•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. For more information on any share count adjustments, see the table of this document and/or the Company's most recent financial results press 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.

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 for the following items:

•Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest.

•Provision (benefit) for income taxes.

•OMSR revenue.

•MSR amortization.

•Compensation charges related to OMSRs.

•Other depreciation and amortization.

•Equity-based compensation 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. 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; charges for exiting leases and/or other long-term contracts as part of cost-saving initiatives; and 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-cash mark-to-market gains or losses on "other income (loss)" related to the variable share forward agreements with respect to Newmark's receipt of the Nasdaq payments in 2021 and 2022 and the 2020 Nasdaq payment (the "Nasdaq Forwards"), as well as mark-to-market adjustments for non-marketable investments.

•Interest expense.

12

Beginning with the third quarter of 2021, calculation of Adjusted EBITDA excludes the Impact of Nasdaq and the Impact of the 2021 Equity Event, (Together, the "Impact of Nasdaq and the 2021 Equity Event") which are defined above.

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.

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. These items are calculated using period-end closing prices.

•Non-cash asset 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.

(1) Newmark's GAAP provision (benefit) for income taxes is calculated based on an annualized methodology. Newmark includes additional tax-deductible items when calculating the provision (benefit) for taxes with respect to Adjusted Earnings using an annualized methodology. These include tax-deductions related to equity-based compensation, and certain net-operating loss carryforwards. The adjustment in the tax provision to reflect Adjusted Earnings is shown below (in millions):

Three Months Ended March 31,
2022	2021
GAAP provision for (benefit from) income taxes	$	4.0	$	10.6
Income tax adjustment to reflect Adjusted Earnings	16.3	0.6
Provision for income taxes for Adjusted Earnings	$	20.3	$	11.2

(2) Primarily represents Cantor's pro-rata portion of Newmark's net income and the noncontrolling portion of Newmark's net income in subsidiaries which are not wholly owned.

(3) The components of equity-based compensation and allocations of net income to limited partnership units and FPUs are as follows (in millions):

Three Months Ended March 31,
2022	2021
Issuance of common stock and exchangeability expenses	$	9.0	$	1.2
Allocations of net income (loss)	0.1	10.6

(4) Includes compensation expenses related to severance charges as a result of the cost savings initiatives of $0.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Also includes commission charges related to non-cash GAAP gains attributable to OMSR revenues of $1.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(5) Includes Non-cash GAAP charges related to the amortization of intangibles with respect to acquisitions.

(6) Adjusted Earnings calculations exclude non-cash GAAP amortization of mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "MSRs"). 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.

(7) Primarily includes asset impairments the Company does not consider a part of its ongoing operations of $1.9 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Includes legal settlements for $0.0 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

(8) Adjusted Earnings calculations exclude non-cash GAAP gains attributable to originated mortgage servicing rights (which Newmark refers to as "OMSRs"). Under GAAP, Newmark recognizes OMSRs equal to the fair value of servicing rights retained on mortgage loans originated and sold.

(9) The components of non-cash, non-dilutive, non-economic items are as follows (in millions):
