Consolidated Business Line Revenue Comparison

Consolidated revenue grew 23 percent for the year, 19 percent in local currency, driven by double-digit growth in all three geographic segments and the acquisition of King Sturge completed in EMEA during the second quarter of 2011. Strong conversion of the firm’s business pipelines drove growth in the transactional businesses of Leasing and Capital Markets, while Property & Facility Management revenue increased with ongoing success in corporate outsourcing. LaSalle Investment Management, which continued to perform well for its clients within a mixed investment environment, delivered solid results.

Operating expenses, excluding Restructuring and acquisition charges, were $3.3 billion for the year, an increase of 23 percent, 20 percent in local currency, compared with $2.7 billion in 2010. The increase was driven by higher variable compensation resulting from improved transactional revenue and by variable costs to support client wins and to continue building the firm’s pipeline for 2012.

Full-year results included $56 million of Restructuring and acquisition charges, of which $16 million related to employee retention, and $11 million of intangible amortization related to the addition of King Sturge. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results, although they are included for consolidated reporting.

Asia Pacific Real Estate Services

Revenue in Asia Pacific was $816 million in 2011, compared with $679 million in 2010, an increase of 20 percent, 14 percent in local currency. Continued expansion of the firm’s market-leading positions in Greater China and India contributed to increased revenue, as did growth in Property & Facility Management. Fourth-quarter revenue in the region was $236 million in 2011, an increase of 6 percent in both U.S. dollars and local currency compared with the same period in 2010. The Capital Markets & Hotels revenue decrease in the fourth quarter resulted from lower market investment volumes overall and fewer Hotels transactions during the quarter following a very robust start to the year.

Operating expenses for the region were $750 million for the year, an increase of 19 percent, 13 percent in local currency, on a year-over-year basis.

Operating expenses were $211 million for the fourth quarter, compared with $198 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 7 percent, 6 percent in local currency. Operating income margin was 10.7 percent in the fourth quarter compared with 11.5 percent for the same period a year ago, resulting from lower Capital Markets & Hotels revenue during the quarter.

Summary

The firm finished the year with record consolidated revenue levels and solid performance in each of the geographic segments and LaSalle Investment Management. King Sturge contributed positively to EMEA results, notably in Capital Markets & Hotels and Advisory, and has been successfully integrated into the firm. Within the challenging economic conditions of many of the countries in which we operate, the firm’s strong market share and healthy pipelines across most of its businesses provide good momentum and reason for optimism entering 2012.

Financial Statement Notes

 

1.

Charges excluded from U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”) net income attributable to common shareholders to arrive at adjusted net income for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2011, and December 31, 2010, are primarily Restructuring and acquisition charges, intangible amortization related to the recent King Sturge acquisition, and non-cash co-investment charges. Below are reconciliations of GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to adjusted net income and calculations of earnings per share (“EPS”) for each net income total:

 

		Three Months Ended December 31,								Twelve Months Ended December 31,
($ in millions, except per share data)		2011				2010				2011				2010
GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders		$	84.8			$	84.4			$	164.0			$	153.5
Shares (in 000s)			44,402				44,235				44,367				44,084
GAAP earnings per share		$	1.91			$	1.91			$	3.70			$	3.48
GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders		$	84.8			$	84.4			$	164.0			$	153.5
Restructuring and acquisition charges, net			25.2				0.7				41.9				4.9
Intangible amortization, net			3.6				—				8.6				—
Non-cash co-investment charges, net			—				0.7				—				7.9
Adjusted net income			113.6				85.8				214.5				166.3
Shares (in 000s)			44,402				44,235				44,367				44,084
Adjusted earnings per share		$	2.56			$	1.94			$	4.83			$	3.77

 

2.

Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for Restructuring and acquisition charges, and non-cash co-investment charges. Although adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, they are used extensively by management and are useful to investors and lenders as metrics for evaluating operating performance and liquidity. EBITDA is used in the calculations of certain covenants related to the firm’s revolving credit facility. However, adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not calculated under GAAP, the firm’s adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

---

Below is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended								Twelve Months Ended
		December 31,								December 31,
		2011				2010				2011				2010
Net income attributable to common shareholders		$	84,767			$	84,396			$	163,997			$	153,522
Add:
Interest expense, net of interest income			8,372				10,063				35,591				45,802
Provision for income taxes			29,525				28,220				56,387				49,038
Depreciation and amortization			22,333				18,584				82,832				71,573
EBITDA		$	144,997			$	141,263			$	338,807			$	319,935
Add:
Restructuring and acquisition charges			33,984				885				56,127				6,386
Non-cash co-investment charges			—				901				—				10,433
Adjusted EBITDA		$	178,981			$	143,049			$	394,934			$	336,754

 

3.	For purposes of segment operating results, the allocation of restructuring charges to the segments has been determined to not be meaningful to investors, so the performance of segment results has been evaluated without allocation of these charges.

 

4.

Each geographic region offers the firm’s full range of Real Estate Services businesses consisting primarily of tenant representation and agency leasing; capital markets; property management and facilities management; project and development services; and advisory, consulting and valuations services. The Investment Management segment provides investment management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

 

5.	The consolidated statements of cash flows are presented in summarized form. For complete consolidated statements of cash flows, please refer to the firm’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shortly.
