Colliers posts $1.57B Q2 2026 revenue on Ayesa acquisition, but rising interest expense and tax rate compress margins materially

Colliers International's Q2 2026 revenue of $1.57 billion reflects the transformative acquisition of Ayesa Engineering S.A.U. — a 3,300-employee multidisciplinary engineering firm acquired for approximately $690 million net of cash — which more than accounts for the year-over-year revenue increase. Operating earnings were essentially flat versus Q2 2025, while net interest expense climbed to $26.4 million from $15.5 million as acquisition debt loaded the balance sheet, and the effective tax rate surged to 36.9% for the six-month period versus 29.1% prior year, compressing net earnings attributable to the company. The segment realignment — folding occupier-focused project management from Engineering into Commercial Real Estate — signals a strategic pivot toward integrated occupier services as the primary CRE growth narrative.
