Year-to-date adjusted EPS would have been approximately $0.06 lower excluding foreign exchange impacts. GAAP operating earnings were $61.3 million, relative to $54.1 million in the prior year period. GAAP diluted net earnings per common share for the six month period was $0.72, compared to $0.32 per share in the prior year period. Year-to-date GAAP EPS would have been approximately $0.06 lower excluding changes in foreign exchange rates.
“Once again, Colliers generated strong results in the second quarter, through a combination of acquisitions and solid internal growth. Based on results to date, current business pipelines and acquisitions completed subsequent to the quarter end, we remain optimistic about our growth prospects for the balance of the year,” said Jay S. Hennick, Chairman and CEO of Colliers International. “During the second quarter, we completed three acquisitions in our services business, in each case expanding to new markets within North America. We also successfully completed a private placement of €210 million of ten-year senior notes at an attractive fixed interest rate. And then, just after quarter-end we completed our strategic investment in Harrison Street Real Estate Capital, one of the largest real estate investment firms dedicated to the education, healthcare and storage sectors globally with approximately $15.6 billion in assets under management. Harrison Street, together with our existing European investment management business, will form the core of our new Investment Management platform with over $20 billion in assets under management from the world’s most respected institutional investors. With this important new platform for growth now in place, an investment-grade balance sheet, disciplined growth strategy and a proven track record of success, we are well positioned to continue creating value for shareholders in 2018 and beyond,” he concluded.

Segmented Quarterly Results
The Americas region’s revenues totalled $388.6 million for the second quarter compared to $346.5 million in the prior year quarter, up 12% (11% on a local currency basis). Local currency revenue growth was comprised of 7% internal growth and 4% growth from recent acquisitions. Internal growth for the quarter was driven by Lease Brokerage, particularly on the US West Coast and in Canada. Adjusted EBITDA was $36.2 million, versus $32.9 million in the prior year quarter. GAAP operating earnings were $26.8 million, versus $22.9 million in the prior year period.
EMEA region revenues totalled $149.6 million for the second quarter compared to $120.6 million in the prior year quarter, up 24% (15% on a local currency basis). Local currency revenue growth was comprised of 14% growth from recent acquisitions and 1% internal growth. Internal revenue growth was impacted by a decline in Outsourcing & Advisory Services, particularly project management activity, more than offset by increases in Sales and Lease Brokerage. Adjusted EBITDA was $21.5 million, versus $17.5 million in the prior year quarter. GAAP operating earnings were $14.0 million, versus $11.8 million in the prior year quarter.
Asia Pacific region revenues totalled $128.8 million for the second quarter compared to $118.7 million in the prior year quarter, up 9% (6% on a local currency basis).

Notes
1. Reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net earnings, adjusted to exclude: (i) income tax; (ii) other expense (income); (iii) interest expense; (iv) depreciation and amortization; (v) acquisition-related items; (vi) restructuring costs and (vii) stock-based compensation expense. We use adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our own operating performance and our ability to service debt, as well as an integral part of our planning and reporting systems. Additionally, we use this measure in conjunction with discounted cash flow models to determine the Company’s overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We present adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure because we believe such measure is useful to investors as a reasonable indicator of operating performance because of the low capital intensity of the Company’s service operations. We believe this measure is a financial metric used by many investors to compare companies, especially in the services industry. This measure is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP in the United States, and should not be considered as a substitute for operating earnings, net earnings or cash flow from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating adjusted EBITDA may differ from other issuers and accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted EBITDA appears below.

2. Reconciliation of net earnings and diluted net earnings per common share to adjusted net earnings and adjusted earnings per share:
Adjusted earnings per share is defined as diluted net earnings per common share, adjusted for the effect, after income tax, of: (i) the non-controlling interest redemption increment; (ii) amortization expense related to intangible assets recognized in connection with acquisitions; (iii) acquisition-related items; (iv) restructuring costs and (v) stock-based compensation expense. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it provides a supplemental way to understand the underlying operating performance of the Company and enhances the comparability of operating results from period to period. Adjusted earnings per share is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered as a substitute for diluted net earnings per share, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Our method of calculating this non-GAAP measure may differ from other issuers and, accordingly, this measure may not be comparable to measures used by other issuers. A reconciliation of net earnings to adjusted net earnings and of diluted net earnings per share to adjusted earnings per share appears below.

3. Local currency revenue growth rate and internal revenue growth
Percentage revenue variances presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our non-US dollar denominated operations to US dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the periods against which the current period results are being compared. Percentage revenue variances presented on an internal growth basis are calculated assuming acquired entities were owned for the entire current period as well as the entire prior period. Revenue from acquired entities is estimated based on the operating performance of each acquired entity for the year prior to the acquisition date. We believe that these revenue growth rate methodologies provide a framework for assessing the Company’s performance and operations excluding the effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and acquisitions. Since these revenue growth rate measures are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures used by other issuers.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings
(1) Acquisition-related items include transaction costs, contingent acquisition consideration fair value adjustments, and contingent acquisition consideration-related compensation expense.
(2) See definition and reconciliation above.
(3) New US GAAP revenue guidance was adopted effective January 1, 2018 which had the impact of (i) increasing the proportion of reimbursable expenses related to property management activities accounted for as revenue on a gross basis, with no impact on earnings and (ii) accelerating the recognition of revenue related to certain Lease Brokerage transactions, with an accompanying immaterial increase to earnings. The Company also restated its results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 to reflect the impact of the adoption.
