Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains “forward-looking statements,” including statements about our beliefs and expectations. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Potential factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in any forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those stated under the heading “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” at the end of this Item 2, “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of Part I of our 2025 Form 10-K, as well as those described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

All forward-looking statements are based on information available to us on the date of this filing, and we assume no obligation to update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2025 Form 10-K, our subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, other filings with the SEC, and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Report.

Overview

CoStar Group is a leading global provider of online real estate marketplaces, information, analytics, and 3D digital twin technology in the property markets, based on the numbers of unique visitors and site visits per month; providing more information, analytics, and marketing services than many of our competitors; offering the most comprehensive commercial real estate database available; and having the largest commercial real estate research department in the industry. We have created and compiled a standardized platform of real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces where industry professionals, consumers of commercial and residential real estate, including apartments, and the related business communities, can continuously interact and facilitate transactions by efficiently accessing and exchanging accurate and standardized real estate-related information. Our service offerings span all property types, including office, retail, industrial, multifamily, residential, land, mixed-use, and hospitality.

Our services are primarily derived from a database of building-specific and marketplace information and visual content and offer customers specialized tools for accessing, analyzing, and using our information and advertising on our marketplaces. Over time, we have expanded, and we expect to continue to expand, our existing real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces. We have developed and we expect to continue to develop additional services leveraging our centralized database and 3D digital twin technology to meet the needs of our existing customers as well as potential new categories of customers.

Our services are typically distributed to our customers under subscription-based license agreements that generally renew automatically, the majority of which have a term of at least one year. Upon renewal, many of the subscription contract rates may change in accordance with contract provisions or as a result of contract renegotiations. To encourage customers to use our services regularly, we generally charge a fixed monthly amount for our subscription-based services rather than charging fees based on actual platform usage or number of paid clicks. Depending on the type of service, contract rates are generally based on the number of sites, number of users, organization size, the customer’s business focus, the customer's geographic location, the number of properties reported on or analyzed, the number and types of services to which a customer subscribes, the number of digital twins hosted, the number of properties a customer advertises, and the prominence and placement of a customer's advertised properties in the search results. Our subscription customers generally pay contract fees on a monthly basis, but in some cases may pay us on a quarterly or annual basis. Our transaction-based services primarily consist of (i) providing premium listings for individual properties on our marketplaces, (ii) providing data capture services to create digital twins, (iii) the sale of Matterport cameras and capture equipment, and (iv) Ten-X auction fees.

Services

We operate, develop products, and deliver our services in two reportable segments, Commercial Real Estate and Residential Real Estate. Our Commercial Real Estate segment offers commercial real estate information, analytics, online marketplaces, and 3D digital twin technology. Our Residential Real Estate segment hosts marketplaces which aggregate consumer demand for homes and apartments and we sell marketing and leads to the agents, owners, landlords, and property management companies that need to reach those consumers with their offerings. Our principal services are described in the following paragraphs:

Commercial Real Estate

CoStar

CoStar is our subscription-based integrated platform for commercial real estate intelligence, which includes information about commercial real estate properties, properties for sale, comparable sales, tenants, space available for lease, industry professionals and their business relationships, industry news, and market status. CoStar also provides benchmarking for the hospitality industry under the STR brand, lease analytical capabilities, and risk management and other debt solutions for lenders. We also offer SaaS for lease management under the CoStar Real Estate Manager and Visual Lease brands.

LoopNet

Our LoopNet Network of commercial real estate websites offers online marketplaces across the U.S., Europe, and the U.K. that enable commercial property owners, landlords, and real estate agents to advertise properties for sale or for lease. Commercial real estate agents, buyers, and tenants use the LoopNet Network of online marketplaces to search for available property listings that meet their criteria. With the Domain Acquisition, we also offer commercial real estate listings in Australia.

Other Commercial Real Estate

Other Commercial Real Estate includes revenue from the Matterport Acquisition, BizBuySell Network, and Ten-X's online auctions for commercial real estate. Matterport primarily provides hosting services for its 3D digital twins on a subscription basis. Matterport also provides capture services of spatial data and other add-on services to existing subscription customers and sells 3D capture cameras and accessories. Our BizBuySell Network provides online marketplaces for businesses and franchises for sale.

We expect Commercial Real Estate's revenue growth rate for the year ending December 31, 2026 to moderate compared to the revenue growth rate for the year ended December 31, 2025 primarily due to the nonrecurring benefit realized in 2025 from the Matterport Acquisition.

Residential Real Estate

Our residential marketplaces enable renters and homebuyers to find their dream homes by combining our proprietary research and neighborhood content with listing information, while enabling property owners, managers, and real estate agents to advertise their properties. Our flagship brands in the U.S. are Apartments.com, Homes.com, and Land.com. Apartments.com and Land.com provide comprehensive advertising on a subscription basis. Homes.com offers real estate agents subscription memberships promoting the agent's listings and profile on our websites, as well as the ability for real estate agents and homeowners to promote a single listing. Domain and OnTheMarket are our primary brands in Australia and the U.K., respectively. Domain primarily provides agents premium listings for individual properties. OnTheMarket hosts agents' listings on a subscription basis.

We expect Residential Real Estate's revenue growth rate for the year ending December 3

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We provide real estate information, analytics, and online marketplaces services to real estate and related business communities within the regions where we operate, which primarily include North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and Latin America. The functional currency for the majority of our operations is the local currency, with the exception of certain international locations for which the functional currency is the British Pound or U.S. Dollar.

Fluctuations in the British Pound, Canadian Dollar, Australian Dollar, and Euro may have an impact on our business, results of operations, and financial position. For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, approximately 14% of our revenue, respectively, was denominated in foreign currencies. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our revenue would have decreased by approximately $13 million and $25 million, respectively, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used strengthened by 10%. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, our revenue would have increased by approximately $13 million and $25 million, respectively, if the U.S. dollar exchange rate used weakened by 10%. In addition, we have assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2026, accumulated other comprehensive income included a gain from foreign currency translation adjustments of approximately $138 million.

We do not believe we have material exposure to market risks associated with changes in interest rates related to cash equivalent securities held as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we had $1.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents. If there is an increase or decrease in interest rates, there will be a corresponding increase or decrease in the amount of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. We currently diversify our cash and cash equivalents holdings amongst multiple financial institutions and AAA-rated Government and Treasury Money Market Funds.

We are subject to interest rate market risk in connection with our revolving credit facility. On May 24, 2024, we entered into the 2024 Credit Agreement, which provides for variable rate borrowings of up to $1.1 billion. On July 1, 2020, we issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes. Changes in interest rates would not have a material impact to our current interest and debt financing expense, as all of our borrowings except for our credit facility are fixed rate, and no amounts were outstanding under our credit facility as of June 30, 2026. See Note 9 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Report for additional information regarding our 2024 Credit Agreement.

We had approximately $6.7 billion of goodwill and intangible assets as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, we believe our intangible assets will be recoverable; however, changes in the economy, the industry in which we operate, and our own relative performance could change the assumptions used to evaluate intangible asset recoverability. In the event that we determine that an asset has been impaired, we would recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. We continue to monitor these assumptions and their effect on the estimated recoverability of our intangible assets.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. These controls also are designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any systems of controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Accordingly, management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As of June 30, 2026, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2026, and were operating at a reasonable assurance level.

We are continuing to integrate the internal controls over financial reporting of recent acquisitions. These activities may require modifications to certain processes, systems, and other components of internal controls over financial reporting. Consistent with our process changes, we evaluate the design and effectiveness of the internal controls as part of our overall assessment of disclosure controls and procedures.

Other than the integration activities associated with recent acquisitions, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

**Item 1.**Legal Proceedings

Currently, and from time to time, we are involved in litigation incidental to the conduct of our business. We are not currently a party to any lawsuit or proceeding that, in the opinion of our management based on consultations with legal counsel, is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. See Note 11 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I of this Report for further discussion.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this Report, you should carefully consider the factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations. Other than the following items, there have not been any material changes to the risk factors as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Risks related to our business

We may be unable to complete the acquisition of Zonda or otherwise realize the benefits of the pending Zonda acquisition, which could have an adverse effect on us.

On May 28, 2026, we announced that we had entered into the Zonda Agreement, to acquire Zonda. Pursuant to the Zonda Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein, at the closing of the Zonda Acquisition, among other things, we will acquire all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Zonda in a cash transaction. The closing of the Zonda Acquisition is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including, among others: expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and certain other regulatory laws; the absence of any law, order, decree, ruling or injunction of a governmental authority with jurisdiction prohibiting or making illegal the consummation of the Zonda Acquisition; the accuracy of each party’s representations and warranties and the performance and compliance by each party with its respective covenants in each case subject to certain qualifiers; there not having occurred since the date of the Zonda Agreement any event, development, change or occurrence that has had or would reasonably be expected to have had, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect; and the delivery of customary closing documents.

Until the completion of the Zonda Acquisition, we will operate independently of Zonda. It is possible that the pendency of the Zonda Acquisition could result in the loss of key employees, higher than expected costs, diversion of management attention, or the disruption of our ongoing businesses, which may adversely affect the combined company’s ability to maintain relationships with customers, vendors, and employees or to achieve the anticipated benefits of the Zonda Acquisition.

We have incurred, and we will continue to incur, transaction fees, including legal, regulatory and other costs associated with closing the Zonda Acquisition, as well as expenses related to formulating and implementing integration plans, including systems consolidation costs and employment-related costs. We may be unable to offset transaction and integration-related costs with the realization of other efficiencies related to the integration of the business.

The success of the Zonda Acquisition, if completed, will depend in part on our ability to realize the anticipated business opportunities and growth prospects from combining our business with that of Zonda. We may never realize these business opportunities and growth prospects. Integrating operations and employees will require significant efforts and expenditures. If we are unable to successfully or timely acquire and integrate Zonda’s business with ours, we may be unable to realize the growth, synergies, and other anticipated benefits resulting from the Zonda Acquisition and our business could be adversely affected.
