Certain information in this presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of federal securities laws, including financial projections of CoStar
Group, Inc. (“CoStar Group” or the “Company”), addressable markets, statements about management’s plans, growth strategy, goals and objectives for future
operations and similar statements regarding expected future events. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.

Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include: general economic conditions; the risk that our projections about revenue, EBITDA, Adjusted
EBITDA, net income per share, Non-GAAP net income, Non-GAAP net income per share, site traffic or the number of users on our sites are not as expected;
product development and releases; planned sales and marketing activities and investments; the anticipated benefits of completed or proposed acquisitions; trends
in customer behavior; effective tax rates; the anticipated benefits of cross-selling efforts; planned service enhancements; legal and regulatory issues; methods that
we use to measure unique visitors to our portals, including Google Analytics, may misstate the actual number of unique persons who visit our network of mobile
applications and websites for a given changes in accounting policies or practices and current economic conditions, including the potential impacts of the COVID-19
pandemic, on the commercial real estate industry and our customer base. Additionally, annualization of historical results from short periods of time or small sample
sizes may differ materially from actual results realized in future periods and may not take into account other future market conditions that may negatively affect
those results.

More information about potential risks that could cause actual results to differ from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements is included in our filings
with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. All forward-
looking statements are based on information available to us on the date of this presentation, and we assume no obligation to publicly update such statements
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-
GAAP Net Income per Share, Organic Revenues and Acquired Revenues, which are used by our management and board of directors to measure operating
performance and trends and to prepare our annual budget. You should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as
reported under GAAP. Reconciliation tables and other important information about the Company’s financial results and operating metrics used herein are included
in the Appendix to this presentation. This presentation also contains estimates and statistical data made by independent parties and by CoStar Group related to
market size, the housing rental market, agent users, site traffic, growth and other data about CoStar Group’s industry and performance. These data involve a
number of assumptions and limitations, which may significantly impact their accuracy, and you are cautioned not to give undue weight to such estimates.
Projections, assumptions and estimates of future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk.

Non-GAAP Measures

For information regarding the purpose for which management uses the non-GAAP financial measures disclosed in this release and why management believes they
provide useful information to investors regarding the CoStar Group Inc.’s (the “Company” of “CoStar Group”) financial condition and results of operations, please
refer to the Company’s latest periodic report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group before interest income or expense, net and other income
or expense, net; loss on debt extinguishment; income taxes; depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense, acquisition- and integration-related costs,
restructuring costs, and settlements and impairments incurred outside the Company’s ordinary course of business. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents adjusted
EBITDA divided by revenues for the period.

Non-GAAP net income is a non-GAAP financial measure determined by adjusting GAAP net income attributable to CoStar Group for stock-based compensation
expense, acquisition- and integration-related costs, restructuring costs, settlement and impairment costs incurred outside the Company's ordinary course of
business and loss on debt extinguishment, as well as amortization of acquired intangible assets and other related costs, and then subtracting an assumed
provision for income taxes. In 2023, the Company is assuming a 26% tax rate in order to approximate its statutory corporate tax rate excluding the impact of
discrete items.

Non-GAAP net income per diluted share is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents non-GAAP net income divided by the number of diluted shares
outstanding for the period used in the calculation of GAAP net income per diluted share. For periods with GAAP net losses and non-GAAP net income, the
weighted average outstanding shares used to calculate non-GAAP net income per share includes potentially dilutive securities that were excluded from the
calculation of GAAP net income per share as the effect was anti-dilutive.

Organic revenues and acquired revenues are non-GAAP measures for reporting financial performance of the business. Organic revenues represent total company
revenues excluding net revenues from acquired companies for the first four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date. Acquired revenues represents revenues
from acquired companies for the first four full quarters since the entities' acquisition date. After the completion of four full fiscal quarters, changes in revenues of
acquired is treated as organic for future periods. For products discontinued after an acquisition, the lesser of the reported revenues or the actual revenues reported
is included in acquired revenues.
