2 Cushman & Wakefield CAUTIONARY NOTE ON FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This presentation contains forward - looking statements, which rely on a number of estimates, projections and assumptions concerni ng future events. Such statements are also subject to a number of uncertainties and factors outside the control of Cushman & Wakefield Ltd. (the “Company”). Such factors include, bu t a re not limited to, disruptions in general macroeconomic conditions and global and regional demand for commercial real estate; risks associated with sociopolitical polarization and c han ges in political landscapes; social, geopolitical and economic risks associated with its international operations; foreign currency volatility; the seasonality of significant port ion s of its revenue and cash flow; its ability to recruit and retain qualified revenue - producing advisors and senior management; its ability to maintain and execute its information technology strat egies; the increasing use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) technologies in its operations and client service offerings and the inadequate deployment and governance of these AI technolo gie s; interruption or failure of its information technology, communications systems or data services; its vulnerability to potential breaches in security or other threats related to its inf ormation systems; its ability to comply with cybersecurity, AI governance and data privacy laws and regulations and other confidentiality obligations; the concentration of business with sp eci fic corporate clients; its ability to preserve, grow and leverage the value of its brand; its ability to compete globally, regionally and locally and its ability to cross - sell its servi ces; the extent to which infrastructure disruptions may affect its ability to provide its services; the failure of its mergers, acquisitions and investments to perform as expected or the lack of future acquisition opportunities; the potential impairment of its goodwill or equity method investments; its ability to comply with new and existing laws, regulations or licensing requirement s; changes in tax legislation or tax rates and its ability to make correct determinations in complex and varied tax regimes; incremental tax risk associated with Bermuda’s limited network of i nte rnational treaties; the failure of third parties performing on its behalf to comply with contract, regulatory or legal requirements; risks related to climate change and with respect to oth er environmental conditions; restrictions imposed on the Company by the agreements governing its indebtedness; its amount of indebtedness and the potential adverse impact on its avai lab le cash flow and the operation of its business; its ability to incur more indebtedness; litigation and regulatory risks; the fact that the rights of its shareholders may be limi ted or otherwise differ in certain respects from the rights afforded to shareholders of a U.S. corporation; and risks related to its capital allocation strategy including current intentions to n ot pay cash dividends. Should any of the Company’s estimates, projections and assumptions or these other uncertainties and factors materialize in ways that it did not expect, there is no gua rantee of future performance and the actual results could differ materially from the forward - looking statements in this presentation, including the possibility that recipients may lose a material portion of the amounts invested. While the Company believes the assumptions underlying these forward - looking statements are reasonable under current circumstances, recipients shou ld bear in mind that such assumptions are inherently uncertain and subjective and that past or projected performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. No represent ati on or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this presentation, and nothing shall be relied upon as a promise or rep resentation as to the performance of any investment. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward - looking statements or other information in this presentation and shoul d rely on your own assessment of an investment or a transaction. Any estimates or projections as to events that may occur in the future are based upon the best and current judgm ent of the Company as actual results may vary from the projections and such variations may be material. Any forward - looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation a nd, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any of them, whether as a result of new inf orm ation, future events or otherwise. Additional information concerning factors that may influence the Company’s results is discussed under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of its most rec ently filed Annual Report on Form 10 - K and in its other periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Forward - Looking Non - GAAP Measures The Company is not able to provide reconciliations of any forward - looking non - GAAP financial measures to GAAP because it cannot provide specific guidance for the various extraordinary, non - recurring or unusual charges and other items. These items have not yet occurred and/or cannot be reasonably p redicted. As a result, reconciliation of the forward - looking non - GAAP guidance measures to GAAP is not available without unreasonable effort. The Company routinely posts important information about its business on its Investor Relations website at https://ir.cushmanw ake field.com. The Company uses its website as a means of disclosing material, nonpublic information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Investors s hou ld monitor the Company’s Investor Relations website in addition to following the Company’s press releases, filings with the SEC, public conference calls and webcasts. The Company d oes not incorporate the contents of any website into this or any other report it files with the SEC.

3 Cushman & Wakefield NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Company uses the following measures, which are considered “non - GAAP financial measures” under SEC guidelines: i. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”); ii. Adjusted net income and Adjusted earnings per share (“Adjusted EPS”); iii. Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion; iv. Local currency; and v. Net debt. Management principally uses these non - GAAP financial measures to evaluate operating performance, develop budgets and forecasts, improve comparability of results and assist our investors in analyzing the underlying performance of our business. These measures are not measurements recognized under GAAP. Wh en analyzing our operating results, investors should use these measures in addition to, but not as an alternative for, the most directly comparable financial results calcu lat ed and presented in accordance with GAAP. Because the Company’s calculation of these non - GAAP financial measures may differ from other companies, our presentation of these measures m ay not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. The Company believes that these measures provide a more complete understanding of ongoing operations, enhance comparability o f c urrent results to prior periods and may be useful for investors to analyze our financial performance. The measures eliminate the impact of certain items that may obscure trend s i n the underlying performance of our business. The Company believes that they are useful to investors for the additional purposes described below. Adjusted EBITDA: We have determined Adjusted EBITDA to be our primary measure of segment profitability. We believe that investors find this me asu re useful in comparing our operating performance to that of other companies in our industry because these calculations generally eliminate unrealized lo ss (gain) on investments, net; impairment of investments; the revolving accounts receivable securitization (the “A/R Securitization”) servicing liability, fees and amortization; pensi on buy - out settlement loss; non - operating items related to our equity method investment in Cushman Wakefield Greystone LLC (the “Greystone JV”); and other non - recurring items. Adjusted EBITDA also excludes the effects of financings, income taxes and the non - cash accounting effects of depreciation and intangible asset amortization. Adjusted net income and Adjusted EPS: Management also assesses the profitability of the business using Adjusted net income. We believe that investors find this mea sur e useful in comparing our profitability to that of other companies in our industry because this calculation generally eliminates deprecia tio n and amortization related to merger; financing and other facility fees; unrealized loss (gain) on investments, net; impairment of investments; A/R Securitization servicing liability, fe es and amortization; pension buy - out settlement loss; non - operating items related to the Greystone JV; and other non - recurring items. Tax impact of adjusted items reflects management’s e stimated annual effective tax rate. The Company uses Adjusted EPS as another component when measuring operating performance. Management defines Adjusted EPS as Adjusted net incom e d ivided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. Free cash flow and Free cash flow conversion: Free cash flow is a financial performance metric that is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, l es s capital expenditures (reflected as Payment for property and equipment in the investing activities section of the Condensed Consolidat ed Statements of Cash Flows). Free cash flow conversion, a non - GAAP measure of liquidity as a percentage of profit, is measured against Adjusted net income. Local currency: In discussing our results, we refer to percentage changes in local currency (“LC”). These metrics are calculated by holding f ore ign currency exchange rates constant in year - over - year comparisons. Management believes that this methodology provides investors with greater visibility into the perfor mance of our business excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations. Net debt: Net debt is used as a measure of our liquidity and is calculated as total debt minus cash and cash equivalents.

4 Cushman & Wakefield NON - GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONT.) Adjustments to GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate Non - GAAP Financial Measures During the periods presented in this presentation, we had the following adjustments: Unrealized loss (gain) on investments, net represents net unrealized gains and losses on real estate investments. Impairment of investments reflects certain one - time impairment charges related to investments, equity method investments or other assets. Servicing liability, fees and amortization reflects the additional non - cash servicing liability accrued in connection with the A/R Securitization amendment in March 2026, net of amortization, along with related fees incurred to execute the amendment. The liability will be amortized through March 2029. Pension buy - out settlement loss represents the non - cash settlement charge related to a pension buy - out arrangement in the United Kingdom. Non - operating items related to the Greystone JV reflects certain non - operating activity presented within earnings (loss) from equity method investments related to the Greystone JV for (i) gains recognized from the retention of mortgage servicing rights (“MSRs”) upon the origination and sale of mortgage loans, (ii) increases or decreases in the fair value of the MSRs and (iii) estimated provisions for credit losses related to mortgage loans. This activity is speci fic to the Greystone JV rather than all of the Company’s equity method investments based on the Greystone JV’s specialized industry, namely, multi - family lending and loan servicing solu tions. Starting in the second quarter of 2025, the Company has excluded such activity from the calculation of its non - GAAP financial measures as it is non - cash in nature and d oes not represent the underlying operating performance of the business. This activity is reported entirely within the Americas reportable segment. The interim financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 is unaudited. All adjustments, co nsi sting of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial in for mation for these periods have been included. Users of all of the aforementioned unaudited interim financial information should refer to the audited Consolidated Financial St atements of the Company and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2025 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10 - K. See the appendix at the end of this presentation for reconciliations of our non - GAAP financial measures to the most closely comp arable GAAP measures.
