Exhibit 99.1 CoStar Group Reports Record Third Quarter Revenue of $952 Million; Profitability Surges with Net Income of $74 Million; Highest Ever Adjusted EBITDA of $229 Million, Doubling Year-over-Year; Raises Full-Year 2026 Adjusted EBITDA Guidance ARLINGTON, VA – October 27, 2026 - CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: CSGP), a leading global provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics, and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets, announced today that revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 2026 was $952 million, up 14% over revenue of $834 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2025. Net new bookings were $37 million for the quarter. Net income for the third quarter of 2026 was $74 million, up $105 million year-over-year. Earnings per diluted share was $0.18 for the third quarter of 2026. Adjusted Net Income rose to $153 million in the third quarter, up 59% year-over-year. Adjusted EPS was $0.38 in the third quarter, up 65% year-over-year. EBITDA was $179 million, up $166 million year-over- year. Adjusted EBITDA was $229 million in the third quarter of 2026, doubling from the prior year period. “CoStar Group generated outstanding profitability growth in the third quarter, delivering on our commitment to expand margins as we exit a period of investment,” said Andy Florance, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of CoStar Group. “Adjusted EBITDA doubled year-over-year and was considerably above the high end of our $190 million to $210 million guidance range. We achieved significant additional efficiencies in the quarter, bringing total anticipated cost savings this year to approximately $150 million versus our original guidance. Our ongoing deep expense review has identified potential additional savings of at least $200 million that we believe will improve efficiency without sacrificing revenue growth. We expect to realize these over the next 12 to 18 months, keeping us on track to achieve our 2028 Adjusted EBITDA target of $1.25 billion.” Florance continued, “We are demonstrating our ability to meaningfully grow profitability and are confident in our strategy to fuel future growth. We are leveraging AI and our proprietary ground truth data, giving us a unique competitive advantage in providing value to our information clients. Furthermore, our global scale enables us to deliver best-in-class consumer-facing AI functionality on our marketplaces at significantly lower costs than our competitors. Our acquisition of Zonda and agreement to acquire Vexcel demonstrate our ability to further enhance our proprietary datasets and global scale, which are real differentiators in the world of AI.”

For the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company expects Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $275 million to $295 million, representing a margin of 29% at the midpoint of the range. The Company is increasing its revenue guidance for 2026 to a range of $3.75 billion to $3.77 billion, representing revenue growth of approximately 16% year-over-year at the midpoint of the range. The Company expects revenue for the fourth quarter of 2026 in the range of $976 million to $996 million, representing revenue growth of approximately 10% year-over- year at the midpoint of the range. The Company is increasing its full year 2026 Adjusted EPS guidance in a range of $1.38 to $1.41 based on 405 million shares. For the fourth quarter of 2026, the Company expects Adjusted EPS in a range of $0.46 to $0.50 based on 400 million shares. These ranges include an estimated non-GAAP tax rate of 26% for the full year and the fourth quarter of 2026. The preceding forward-looking statements reflect CoStar Group’s expectations as of October 27, 2026, including forward- looking non-GAAP financial measures on a consolidated basis, based on current estimates, expectations, observations, and trends. Given the risk factors, rapidly evolving economic environment, and uncertainties and assumptions discussed in this release and in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and annual reports on Form 10-K, actual results may differ materially. Other than in publicly available statements, the Company does not intend to update its forward-looking statements until its next quarterly results announcement. Reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are shown in detail below, along with definitions for those terms. A reconciliation of forward-looking non- GAAP guidance (except for 2028 Adjusted EBITDA guidance) to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss), can be found within the tables included in this release. A reconciliation of the 2028 Adjusted EBITDA guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure is not available on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they provide useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, please refer to the Company’s latest periodic report. EBITDA is our net income (loss) before interest income or expense, net; other income or expense, net; income taxes; depreciation; and amortization. We typically disclose EBITDA on a consolidated and on an operating segment basis in our earnings releases, investor conference calls, and filings with the SEC. Adjusted EBITDA is different from EBITDA because we further adjust EBITDA for stock-based compensation expense; acquisition- and integration-related costs; restructuring and related costs, including certain advisory fees; and settlements and impairments incurred outside our ordinary course of business, including judgments and related recoveries thereon. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue for the period. Adjusted Net Income represents our net income (loss) adjusted for stock-based compensation expense; acquisition- and integration-related costs, including gains or losses on equity investments acquired in prospective targets and related to deal- contingent financial instruments; restructuring costs; settlement and impairment costs incurred outside our ordinary course of business, including judgments and related, non-recurring interest and recoveries thereon; and amortization of acquired intangible assets and other related costs, and then subtracting an assumed provision for income taxes. In 2026, we are assuming a 26% tax rate to approximate our statutory corporate tax rate, excluding the impact of discrete items, to determine Adjusted Net Income for each quarterly period, year-to-date period and annual period. Adjusted EPS represents Adjusted Net Income divided by the number of diluted shares outstanding for the period used in the calculation of GAAP earnings per diluted share. For periods with GAAP net losses and Adjusted Net Income, the weighted average outstanding shares used to calculate Adjusted EPS includes potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the calculation of GAAP earnings per share as the effect was anti-dilutive. Operating Metrics Net new bookings is calculated based on the annualized amount of change in the Company's sales bookings resulting from new subscription-based contracts, changes to existing subscription-based contracts, and cancellations of subscription-based contracts for the period reported. Information regarding net new bookings is not comparable to, nor should it be substituted for, an analysis of the Company's revenue over time. Earnings Conference Call Management will conduct a conference call to discuss the third quarter 2026 results and the Company’s outlook at 5:00 PM ET on October 27, 2026. A live audio webcast of the conference will be available in listen-only mode through the Investors section of the CoStar Group website: https://investors.costargroup.com. A replay of the webcast audio will also be available in the Investors section of our website for a period of time following the call.
