Disaggregation of Revenues
Newmark’s chief operating decision-maker, regardless of geographic location and service line, evaluates the operating results, including revenues, of Newmark as total real estate services (see Note 3 — “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion).

Contract Balances
The timing of Newmark’s revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment by its customers. Newmark records a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to payment and Newmark has an unconditional right to payment. Alternatively, when payment precedes the provision of the related services, Newmark records deferred revenue until the performance obligations are satisfied.

Newmark’s deferred revenue primarily relates to customers paying in advance or billed in advance where the performance obligation has not yet been satisfied. Deferred revenue is recorded as a contract liability. Deferred revenue at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, Newmark recorded deferred revenue of $0.9 million, $0.7 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and recognized revenue of $1.0 million, $2.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, that was recorded as deferred revenue at the beginning of the period.

For Knotel and Deskeo, the Company’s remaining performance obligations that represent contracted customer revenues, that have not yet been recognized as revenue as of December 31, 2025 and that will be recognized as revenue in future periods over the life of the customer contracts in accordance with ASC 606, are approximately $146.0 million. Over half of the remaining performance obligations as of December 31, 2025 are scheduled to be recognized as revenue within the next twelve months, with the remaining to be recognized over the remaining life of the customer contracts, which extends through 2030.

Approximate future cash flows to be received over the next five years as of December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

2026$95,181 
202736,073 
202812,870 
20291,667

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
