Risk Change Over Time
- Corporate Activity and Growth - Risk 1We 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.

Risk Factors Full Breakdown - Total Risks 40
- Share Price & Shareholder Rights - Risk 1Stock repurchases under our Stock Repurchase Program are discretionary, and we cannot guarantee that our Stock Repurchase Program will achieve the desired objectives. Share repurchases diminish our cash reserves and could also increase the volatility of the trading price of our common stock.
In February 2025, the Board of Directors approved the Prior Stock Repurchase Program which authorized the repurchase of up to $500 million of the CoStar Group Shares. The repurchases under the Prior Stock Repurchase Program were completed in December 2025. In December 2025, the Board of Directors approved a Stock Repurchase Program which authorizes, but does not obligate, the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of the CoStar Group Shares. Repurchases may be made from time to time at management's discretion through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or other transactions in accordance with applicable securities laws. The timing and amount of any such repurchases will be determined based on share price, market conditions, legal requirements, and other relevant factors. The Stock Repurchase Program has no time limit and can be discontinued at any time at the Company's discretion. There can be no assurance as to the timing or number of shares of any repurchases in the future. We cannot guarantee that the Stock Repurchase Program will be fully consummated, that it will enhance long-term stockholder value, or that it will successfully mitigate the dilutive effect of employee equity awards. Any repurchases will reduce the amount of cash we have available to fund working capital, capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions or business opportunities, and other general corporate requirements. In addition, the Stock Repurchase Program could affect the trading price of our common stock and increase volatility, and any announcement of a termination of this Stock Repurchase Program may result in a decrease in the trading price of our common stock.
