Management Comments  
Barry M. Gosin, Chief Executive Officer of Newmark, said: “Despite significantly lower industry transaction volumes in the second quarter, we generated $47 million of cash flow from operations. We finished the quarter with over $300 million in cash and cash equivalents, nearly $450 million in mortgage servicing rights, and approximately $680 million of expected proceeds from Nasdaq that are not yet reflected on our balance sheet. These significant assets, taken together with Newmark's operating earnings potential, represent a very attractive investment.2

“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
1 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is referred to as “GAAP”. “GAAP income (loss) 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.
2 Newmark was profitable under pre-tax GAAP earnings, Adjusted Earnings, and Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2020. The Company generated $47 million of net cash flow provided by operating activities excluding activity from loan originations and sales. For additional information, please see the Summarized Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in this document. The estimated fair value of the mortgage servicing rights at quarter end was $448 million. The $680 million figure for the value of Nasdaq (the "Earn-out") is expected to be received through 2027 based on the June 30, 2020 closing price. As of market close on August 5, 2020, the notional pre-tax value of the Earn-out was $767 million. All forward-looking statements regarding the Earn-out are based on the August 5, 2020 closing price. For more information about Nasdaq-related items, please see the "Other Income" section of this document.

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%.3 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.

"Industrial and life sciences remain bright spots, and multifamily is expected to rebound sooner than other property types, which we expect to remain muted at least through the end of the third quarter. Industrial and multifamily are a strength of Newmark's platform and have historically represented nearly 40% of total revenues.

"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 Company over the past several years. Our professionals’ creativity, inventiveness, and drive provide us with a competitive advantage as economic activity accelerates."

Dividend Information
Newmark has declared a qualified quarterly dividend of $0.01 per share payable on September 14, 2020 to Class A and Class B common stockholders of record as of August 26, 2020. The declaration date was August 5, 2020 and the ex-dividend date will be August 25, 2020.

Online Availability of Investor Presentation and Additional Financial Tables
Newmark’s quarterly financial results presentation and supplemental Excel tables are available for download at http://ir.ngkf.com. The Excel tables and quarterly results presentation contain the results discussed in this document, non-GAAP results for the periods from 2018 through the second quarter of 2020, as well as other useful information that may not be contained herein.

3 The Company calculates GSE and FHA origination volumes based on when loans are rate locked, which is consistent with how revenues are recorded for “Gains from mortgage banking activities/origination, net”. The volumes reported by the GSEs are based on when loans are sold and/or securitized, and typically lag those reported by Newmark or MBA estimates by 30 to 45 days. Industry mortgage origination volumes are reported by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, while investment sales industry volumes are reported by Real Capital Analytics ("RCA"). According to preliminary RCA data, Newmark was ranked #3 for U.S. investment sales in the first half of 2020 (vs. #5 in the first half of 2019).

Brokerage revenues declined in the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to lower industry-wide leasing and capital markets volumes. Combined revenues from capital markets and originations were down 29.8%. Gains from mortgage banking activities increased due to higher volumes and a more balanced mix of GSE originations. Newmark's multifamily mortgage originations were up 23% as compared to 14% growth in loan placements for the industry. Management services, servicing fees, and other declined due to lower non-fee pass-through revenues, less interest income on escrow balances and lower yield maintenance fees in Newmark's servicing business but were otherwise unaffected by the pandemic. The Company expect its management services and servicing fee revenues to be more resilient during the downturn.

4 The Company's overall top-line included $98.8 million and $90.6 million in combined OMSR and pass-through revenues, respectively, in the second quarters of 2020 and 2019. Newmark may refer to these two items together as “non-fee revenue.” In the first halves of 2020 and 2019, non-fee revenues were $194.7 million and $158.8 million, respectively. Additionally, investment sales, mortgage brokerage, and GSE multifamily lending revenues are contained in 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 (which the Company may also refer to as “agency lending”).

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 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 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.

Newmark's other income under GAAP includes non-cash mark-to-market valuation adjustments to the Nasdaq Forwards,6 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-cash mark-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.

Newmark's long-term debt increased since year-end 2019 due to the Company's draw down of
$180 million on its revolving credit facility as a precautionary measure to ensure its strong liquidity position amidst uncertainty caused by COVID-19. Subsequent to quarter end, Newmark repaid $75 million on this facility. The Company's net leverage ratio9 was 1.4 times as of June 30, 2020. Newmark’s balance sheet does not yet reflect the approximately $787 million of additional unmonetized Nasdaq Earn-out that the Company expects to receive through 2027 based on yesterday's closing price. This is because the shares are contingent upon Nasdaq generating at least $25 million in gross revenues annually. Nasdaq generated gross revenues of approximately $4.3 billion in 2019.
 
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.

Additional Information Available in Newmark's COVID-19 Supplement
7 The fully diluted weighted-average share count under GAAP may differ from the fully diluted weighted-average share count for Adjusted Earnings in order to avoid anti-dilution in certain periods. This also impacts GAAP net income for fully diluted shares.
8 “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. Such 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" is defined as total debt, net of cash or, if applicable, total liquidity.
9 "Net leverage" is defined as net debt (total long-term debt after adjusting for liquidity) divided by TTM Adjusted EBITDA.

Implementation of CECL
Newmark adopted the new Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") accounting standard on January 1, 2020. Under this methodology, the Company is required to estimate lifetime expected credit losses, which is a significant change from the incurred loss model that Newmark previously used. The Company's adoption of CECL resulted in an initial non-cash pre-tax reserve of $25.9 million, which was recorded as a reduction to shareholder’s equity as of the beginning of 2020 but had no impact on Newmark's earnings or cash position in the first quarter of 2020. This reserve was primarily driven by the Company's Fannie Mae multifamily mortgage servicing portfolio. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, Newmark incurred a non-cash charge of $17.2 million due to adverse changes in the macroeconomic forecast caused by COVID-19. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had $43.3 million in CECL reserves.

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

Page 10



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 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.


Page 11



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-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 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-market adjustments for non-marketable investments;
Certain other non-cash, non-dilutive, and/or non-economic items.

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

Page 12



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- 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

Page 13



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.

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-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, 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-cash mark-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

Page 14



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.

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-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;

Page 15



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.

 (4) Represents $1.4 million and $1.8 million in compensation expenses related to severance as a result of cost-savings initiatives for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2020, 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 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.
(7) 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 and $1.3 million of other charges the Company does not consider a part of its ongoing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
