CB Richard Ellis Reports 1998 Fourth Quarter and Year End Results:
. Achieves Goal of $1 Billion in Revenues with Substantial Profitability
. 42% revenue and 41% EBITDA Gains for the Year
. $1.68 Adjusted EPS Exceeds Consensus Expectations
. Recovery in Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities Market Seen; Stronger
Presence of Pension Funds and Insurance Companies in Executing Real Estate
Transactions Support 1999 Growth
Los Angeles, CA (February 17, 1999)
CB Richard Ellis (NYSE:CBG), the world leader in commercial real estate
services, today reported full year consolidated revenues of $1.0 billion, a 42%
gain over 1997, along with EBITDA, before nonrecurring charges, of $127.2
million, a 41% increase over the prior year. Full year EPS, before nonrecurring
charges, was $1.68 versus $1.83 in 1997 on a 12% increase in fully diluted
shares. For the fourth quarter, the Company reported revenues of $330.3 million,
a 27% gain along with EBITDA of $48.0 million, a 9% increase from the fourth
quarter of 1997. For the fourth quarter, EPS was $0.65.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim Didion stated, "We are quite pleased
that we achieved our stated goal of breaking the $1 billion mark in revenues for
the year, and combined record revenues with substantial profitability, despite a
more difficult operating environment. For the year, each of our business
segments produced gains in both revenues and cash flow and our EPS exceeded
analyst expectations. With growth in the fourth quarter impacted by the
turbulence in the capital markets, which significantly reduced the volume of
commercial real estate sales during the quarter, we nevertheless continued to
benefit from our global market presence by leveraging our ability to deliver
comprehensive real estate services into new business. The company is among the
strongest in the industry in terms of performance, market position and financial
strength. Let me also highlight that despite the troubled capital markets, our
mortgage banking operations produced record results.

NAVIGATING A NEW WORLD
<PAGE>

Moreover, the growth experienced in the fourth quarter relative to last year was
in line with our view that our results would be negatively affected by a
slowdown in investment property transactions and the repercussions of the
capital markets volatility on mortgage originations and liquidity generally."
According to Didion, in anticipation of strong full year results in early
planning, the company had increased its spending run rate to accelerate
acquisition integration and the implementation of selected growth initiatives.
"With the unexpected volatility in the capital markets in the second and third
quarters negatively impacting revenues, the planned increases in expenses and
investments negatively impacted profitability. Since we view the capital
markets liquidity issues as a short-term phenomenon, the company will accept
lower profitability in the near term to continue to build its platform
effectively," concluded Didion.
Didion continued, "Building upon our strong 1998 performance, we expect to
benefit in 1999 from improved industry conditions. The market for commercial
mortgage backed securities has recovered from the late 1998 collapse, and
insurance companies have received fresh allocations of capital committed to real
estate financing. This increase in available capital should have a positive
impact on commercial real estate sales later in the year. We will capitalize on
these market improvements by achieving greater efficiencies from our recent
acquisitions, building on our industry leading position and focusing on internal
expansion as the main driver of the company's growth in 1999."
Didion noted comparable results for the full year and quarter were affected by
contributions from acquisitions completed since early 1997. Koll Real Estate
Services, which was purchased in August 1997, contributed for all of 1998,
compared to one quarter of 1997, while REI Ltd., contributing for nine months of
1998 and Hillier Parker, contributing for six months of 1998, made no
contributions in 1997.
The company reported higher debt levels at December 31, 1998 related primarily
to the recent acquisitions and the purchase of the remaining interests of the
company's Australian and Canadian businesses. Now that CB Richard Ellis has
slowed the pace of acquisitions, the company intends to use its cash flow to
reduce its debt levels.
Stock Buyback Completed
The company stated that the buyback program initiated on October 16th was
completed at December 31st. The company purchased approximately 488,900 shares
of common stock during that time at a total cost of approximately $8.9 million.
As of December 31, 1998, the company had 21.1 million shares of common stock
outstanding, including common stock repurchased and held in treasury. As noted
in the announcement of the stock buyback program, the company intends to reissue
these shares in an Equity Incentive Program for future key executive during
1999.

Consolidated Results
For the quarter ended December 31, 1998, consolidated revenues grew 27% to
$330.3 million from $260.7 million in the fourth quarter of 1997. EBITDA
increased 9% to $48.0 million compared with $43.9 million in the prior year
period. CB Richard Ellis reported net income applicable to common shareholders
of $13.6 million versus $18.2 million reported in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Fully diluted EPS for the quarter was $0.65 compared to $0.86 earned in the
prior year quarter.
For the year ended December 31, 1998, consolidated revenues increased 42% to
$1.0 billion, up from $730.2 million in 1997. EBITDA, excluding merger-related
and other nonrecurring charges, rose 41% to $127.2 million from $90.1 million in
the prior year. The deemed dividend associated with accounting for the January
1998 repurchase of the company's preferred stock resulted in a net loss
applicable to common shareholders of $7.7 million for the year, or $(0.38) per
diluted share, versus income of $20.4 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, for
1997. Net income applicable to common shareholders excluding merger related and
other one-time charges and prior to the deemed dividend was $34.6 million, or
$1.68 per diluted share, compared to $33.6 million, or $1.83 per diluted share,
in the prior year.
Additionally, the company incurred anticipated one-time charges in the second
quarter of 1998 totaling $16.6 million related to the REI acquisition and a
write-down in the carrying value of the company's headquarters building that
impacted full year results. Merger-related and other nonrecurring one-time
charges for full year 1997 totaled $12.9 million and were related to the Koll
acquisition and concurrent refinancing. The company did not incur any
nonrecurring charges in either fourth quarter period.
Continuing Strength in Market Fundamentals
Office market fundamentals remained strong through the end of 1998, primarily
due to difficult capital markets, restrained real estate lending and a dramatic
slowing in new speculative development. Vacancy rates, as reported by CB Richard
Ellis/Torto Wheaton Research, the Boston based real estate econometric firm, are
8.5% for downtown markets, 9.1% for suburban markets and 9.0% nationwide.
The downtown rate is down from the fourth quarter of 1997, while the suburban
rate is up from the same period. The suburban rate's rise is due to moderate new
supply entering a number of areas. Most reflective of the strong market is the
70 million square feet of net absorption for 1998. This is 5 million square feet
better than 1997 and demonstrates the underlying strength of the economy.
The U.S. economy continues to be insulated from those areas of the world with
economic woes. The U.S. economy has stable growth, with low inflation and
interest rates and an encouraging real estate supply/demand balance.

Segment Results
"All of our business segments reported strong gains in revenue and EBITDA when
compared to the prior year, driven by both internal growth and acquisitions,"
stated Didion. "For the fourth quarter, however, downturns in the capital and
real estate markets negatively affected certain of our business segments. While
our recent acquisitions and internal growth fueled impressive increases in
revenue and EBITDA at the Brokerage, Corporate and Assets Services units, our
Financial Services unit felt more acutely the impact of the sudden lack of
liquidity and financing available to buyers of and investors in commercial real
estate," Didion concluded. As previously noted, the company views the capital
market disruptions as short-term in nature and is continuing its investment in
the development of its service base.
Relative Changes
For the quarter ended December 31, 1998, CB Richard Ellis generated revenue
gains of 23% in Brokerage Services, which rose to $174.3 million; 90% in
Corporate Services, which climbed to $28.6 million; 38% in Asset Services, which
grew to $40.7 million; and 16% in Financial Services, which advanced to $86.7
million.
Brokerage Services (53% of revenues; grew 23%)
Brokerage Services, the company's core business of commercial property sales and
leasing, contributed 53% of the fourth quarter's consolidated revenues.
Brokerage revenues rose 23% to $174.3 million, up from $141.6 million in the
fourth quarter of 1997, attributable to appreciation in rents, property sales
levels and the contributions from Hillier Parker and REI. For the quarter,
EBITDA increased 21%, from $23.8 million to $28.8 million.
According to Brett White, President, Brokerage Services, North America, "We
achieved strong growth in both revenue and cash flow in this more challenging
quarter, which is a testament to the growing appeal of our broader product
offering and our team based approach to client service, which yielded impressive
results, evidenced by notable gains in revenue per producer and transactions per
producer. We believe that buyers and sellers of real estate will continue to
seek larger, multidisciplined service providers, and that CB Richard Ellis is
uniquely positioned to capture additional market share." White further
highlighted the financial performance of the division, stating, "Our EBITDA
margin, while constant from last year, was impacted by our investment in
staffing and marketing programs. We increased these investments in response to
robust market demand in the first half of 1998, but have tempered our
non-essential expenditures to meet the changing market environment of late
1998."
White commented on the conditions in the global real estate markets, stating,
"The domestic supply and demand balance in the commercial real estate market
remained favorable and the lasting economic expansion sustained appreciation in
rental rates and property prices. In addition, leasing activity continued
unabated during the quarter. Our international operations made significant
contributions to the division's results and market conditions in Europe were
particularly strong."

Corporate Services (9% of revenues; grew 90%)
Corporate Services provides transaction and facilities management, as well as
advisory services to major corporate clients in the U.S. and globally. Quarterly
revenues climbed 90% to $28.6 million and represented 9% of total revenues. Koll
and REI made significant contributions to the revenue growth, as did a wider
acceptance of real estate management outsourcing. The company now manages
approximately 110 million square feet of corporate facilities, a 21% increase
over December 31, 1997. EBITDA increased by 39% to $2.6 million for the quarter,
with a decrease in margins due to the continued investment in the division's
domestic and international infrastructure. The company reported that its client
base continues to grow, counting more than one hundred major multinational and
national corporations as clients.
According to Gary Beban, Senior Executive Managing Director, Global Corporate
Advisory Services, "The quarter's solid results reflect the continued shift to
outsourcing of corporate real estate services as firms strive to maximize their
use of capital and achieve greater efficiencies in their real estate operations.
Our revenue growth reflects both an increase in business from existing clients
seeking larger outsourcing relationships, and new clients that have embraced the
outsourcing philosophy. We are particularly enthusiastic about the move towards
an integrated, international approach to corporate real estate management
practices. Evidence of this move is the expansion in our international
properties under contract, which increased from the start-up phase at the
beginning of the year to over 1.5 million square feet at the end of 1998."
Asset Services (12% of revenues; grew 38%)
Asset Services helps clients to build property values through a full range of
property management and consulting services, and manages hundreds of millions of
square feet of property globally for hundreds of clients. Revenue for the
quarter rose 38% to $40.7 million, compared to $29.4 million in the prior year
period, and represents 12% of total revenues. EBITDA climbed by 75% to $5.9
million. Included in the current quarter results were contributions from Koll,
Mathews Click and Hillier Parker; whereas the 1997 fourth quarter included
results only from Koll.
Jana Turner, President, Asset Services, North America, commented, "Our
operations continue to see the benefits from our recent acquisitions and
expansion into new service lines. Overall, we are very pleased with the
quarter's results, especially in light of market events. Indeed, we are
benefiting from a number of changes in the capital and real estate markets as
investment advisors and other traditional investors of real estate replace REITs
as the dominant players in the acquisition market, and seek our real estate
services. In addition, we continued to grow our contractual, on-going fee based
business, where the company's strong brand name, global reach and scope of
services attract real estate owners and investors who are seeking large, well
known service providers."

Financial Services (26% of revenues; grew 16%)
Financial Services provides a wide range of products and services to property
owners, including Wall Street firms and institutional, corporate and offshore
investors. The growth at the mortgage banking and valuations units was offset
by revenue declines at the investment property unit. As previously stated, the
mortgage banking unit achieved record results, as did the valuation group. The
Financial Services segment accounted for 26% of consolidated fourth quarter
revenues, or $86.7 million, a 16% increase versus the fourth quarter of 1997.
EBITDA of $10.7 million was 28% lower than in the comparable year ago quarter
due to the decline in investment property sales.
Ray Wirta, Chief Operating Officer of the company and Chairman, North America,
stated, "I am pleased with the performance of the entire Financial Services
division, despite the impact of the rapid and dramatic changes in the capital
markets. The primary impact was in the investment property unit, where we made
the strategic decision to maintain our infrastructure and staffing levels during
the temporary market disturbance. While this reduced the division's cash flow
during the quarter, our decision has been since validated as financing
flexibility has begun to return to the real estate markets, creating a record
backlog for investment property transactions as we began 1999. In addition, the
uncertainty associated with the recent market declines benefited the division as
both buyers and sellers migrated towards advisors, such as CB Richard Ellis,
with a track record of success and the ability to enhance the likelihood of
transaction completion. During 1998, in fact, we increased our market share
and will, for the third consecutive year, be ranked by a leading real estate
industry publication as the number one investment property sales firm in the
nation."
