Consolidated Second-Quarter 2017 Performance Highlights:
• | Consolidated revenue was $1.8 billion and consolidated fee revenue was $1.5 billion, both representing increases of 17 percent against the prior-year quarter. Revenue growth was broad-based across RES segments and reflects expansion of both transactional and annuity businesses. Organic expansion accounted for 43 percent of the RES fee revenue increase, with the balance from acquisitions completed after the second quarter of 2016. |
• | Consolidated operating expenses were $1.7 billion, compared with $1.5 billion in the prior year, and Consolidated fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $1.4 billion, compared with $1.2 billion last year, both increases of 20 percent as compared to 2016. The expense growth reflected continued expansion of annuity businesses, most notably through our August 2016 acquisition of Integral UK Ltd. (“Integral”), as well as continued increases to investments in data, technology and people. |
• | LaSalle reported continued solid annuity revenue performance. Incentive fees were down $48.5 million compared to the prior-year period as 2016 had outsized incentive fees relating to asset sales within maturing funds, timed to provide superior risk-adjusted return to our clients. LaSalle's results also reflect notable equity earnings, primarily from net valuation increases across our co-investment portfolio. |

• | Net income attributable to common shareholders was $78.2 million compared with $78.8 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $158.2 million, compared with $159.8 million in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 10.3 percent in USD (10.0 percent in local currency), compared with 11.9 percent last year. The results reflect the anticipated decline in LaSalle incentive fees as well as ongoing M&A integration. |
Diluted earnings per share were $1.71, compared with $1.73 last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.82, compared with $1.93 in 2016.
Balance Sheet and Net Interest Expense:
• | Total net debt was $1.3 billion as of June 30, 2017, a decrease of $121.0 million from last quarter, primarily reflecting business performance and ongoing improved working capital management. |
• | The issuance of €350.0 million long-term debt increased the balance of our fixed to variable-rate debt as well as extended our maturity profile. The debt issuance included €175.0 million of 1.96 percent, 10-year notes due 2027 and €175.0 million of 2.21 percent, 12-year notes due 2029. Proceeds were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on our Credit facility. |
• | Net interest expense for the second quarter was $14.6 million, up from $10.9 million in 2016. Nearly half of the year-over-year increase was due to a higher effective interest rate on our Facility, 2.0 percent this quarter as compared with 1.5 percent last year. An increase in average borrowings from $941.5 million in the second quarter of 2016 to $1,302.8 million in the current quarter, driven by nearly $460 million in acquisition-related payments over the last 12 months, also contributed to the increase in net interest expense. |

Americas Second-Quarter 2017 Performance Highlights:
• | Total revenue was $791.8 million and fee revenue was $741.2 million, both representing an 18 percent increase compared with 2016. Over 70 percent of fee revenue growth was from organic expansion and also was highlighted by leasing performance in the U.S., specifically in the New York, Northwest and Florida markets. The increase in Project & Development Services revenue was Corporate Solutions-focused reflecting expansion of existing client mandates and new wins. Growth in Advisory, Consulting and Other was a result of recent acquisitions, including our new U.S. valuations platform and Technology Solutions from BRG. |
• | Operating expenses were $716.8 million, up 15 percent from $622.3 million in 2016. Fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $672.9 million, up 16 percent from $578.9 million in 2016. |
• | Operating income was $75.0 million, up 48 percent from $50.6 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $91.8 million, compared with $66.2 million in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 12.4 percent in USD and local currency, compared with 10.6 percent last year. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA margin was driven by the notable revenue growth discussed above, partially offset by continued increases to investments in data, technology and people. |

EMEA Second-Quarter 2017 Performance Highlights:
• | EMEA revenue was $592.4 million and fee revenue was $439.1 million, reflecting increases of 32 percent and 42 percent, respectively, from last year. Revenue expansion compared with 2016 was driven by Property & Facility Management, the result of incremental fee revenue from Integral. Solid growth in Capital Markets & Hotels together with Leasing performance across a number of countries, notably Germany, also contributed to the results. |
• | Operating expenses were $583.4 million, up 35 percent from $465.8 million in 2016. Fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $430.1 million, up 46 percent from $317.6 million last year, due to incremental fee-based operating expenses relating to Integral. |
• | Operating income was $9.0 million, compared with $15.5 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $20.1 million, compared with $23.2 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 4.6 percent in USD (4.0 percent in local currency), compared with 7.0 percent last year. The decline in profitability primarily reflects a shift in service mix associated with the continued integration of Integral together with continued increases to investments in data, technology and people. |

LaSalle Second-Quarter 2017 Performance Highlights:
• | Total revenue of $72.8 million decreased 41 percent from 2016, which benefited from substantial incentive fees generated from asset sales within maturing funds. Advisory fees, while historically strong, were flat as compared with the prior year. |
• | Equity earnings were $13.7 million, as compared with $8.9 million in 2016, driven by net valuation increases related to investments in Europe and Asia. In the prior-year period, equity earnings were more notably impacted by gains recognized on dispositions of legacy investments. |
• | Operating expenses were $64.6 million, down 24 percent from $88.0 million last year, reflecting lower variable compensation expense associated with the noted decrease in incentive fees. |
• | Operating income was $8.2 million, a decrease from $38.9 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $22.6 million, compared with $47.4 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 31.1 percent in USD (30.8 percent in local currency), compared with 37.3 percent in the prior-year period. The decreases in Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects the decrease in incentive fees partially offset by decreased variable compensation. |
• | Assets under management were $57.6 billion as of June 30, 2017, down one percent in USD (two percent in local currency) from $58.0 billion as of March 31, 2017. The net decrease in assets under management during the second quarter resulted from $4.0 billion of dispositions and withdrawals that were partially offset by $2.2 billion of acquisitions, $0.8 billion of net valuation increases and $0.6 billion of foreign currency increases. |

JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
Financial Statement Notes
1. | Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to develop budgets and forecasts, measure and reward performance against those budgets and forecasts, and enhance comparability to prior periods. These measures are believed to be useful to investors and other external stakeholders as supplemental measures of core operating performance and include the following: |
(i) | Fee revenue and Fee-based operating expenses, |
(ii) | Adjusted operating income, |
(iii) | Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, |
(iv) | Adjusted net income and Adjusted diluted earnings per share, and |
(v) | Percentage changes against prior periods, presented on a local currency basis. |
However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any measure that eliminates components of a company’s capital structure, cost of operations or investment, or other results has limitations as a performance measure. In light of these limitations, management also considers GAAP financial measures and does not rely solely on non-GAAP financial measures. Because the company’s non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjustments to GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate non-GAAP Financial Measures
Gross Contract Costs
Consistent with GAAP, certain vendor and subcontractor costs (“gross contract costs”) which are managed by the company on certain client assignments in the Property & Facility Management and Project & Development Services business lines are presented on a gross basis in Revenue and Operating expenses. The company generally earns little to no margin on the reimbursement of gross contract costs, obtaining reimbursement only for costs incurred. Excluding gross contract costs from both Revenue and Operating expenses more accurately reflects how the company manages its expense base and its operating margins.
Net Non-Cash MSR and Mortgage Banking Derivative Activity
Net non-cash mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") and mortgage banking derivative activity consists of the balances presented within Revenue composed of (i) derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment activity and (ii) gains recognized from the retention of MSR upon origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by (iii) amortization of MSR intangible assets over the period that net servicing income is projected to be received. Non-cash derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment activity are calculated as the estimated fair value of loan commitments and subsequent changes thereof, primarily represented by the estimated net cash flows associated with future servicing rights. MSR gains and corresponding MSR intangible assets are calculated as the present value of estimated cash flows over the estimated mortgage servicing periods. The above activity is reported entirely within Revenue of the Capital Markets & Hotels business line of the Americas segment. Excluding net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity reflects how the company manages and evaluates performance because the excluded activity is non-cash in nature.
18
Restructuring and Acquisition Charges
Restructuring and acquisition charges primarily consist of: (i) severance and employment-related charges, including those related to external service providers, incurred in conjunction with a structural business shift, which can be represented by a notable change in headcount, change in leadership or transformation of business processes; (ii) acquisition and integration-related charges, including non-cash fair value adjustments to assets and liabilities recorded in purchase accounting such as earn-out liabilities and intangible assets; and (iii) lease exit charges. Such activity is excluded as the amounts are generally either non-cash in nature or the anticipated benefits from the expenditures would not likely be fully realized until future periods. As noted within Note 5, Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results and therefore not a line item in the segments’ reconciliation from operating income to adjusted operating income and Adjusted EBITDA.
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, primarily composed of the estimated fair value ascribed at closing of an acquisition to assets such as acquired management contracts, customer backlog and trade name, is more notable following the company's increase in acquisition activity over the past few years. At the segment reporting level, this is the only reconciling difference between operating income and adjusted operating income, except for the Americas segment, where Net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity is also excluded.

(a) In the second quarter of 2017, as well as the first and second quarters of 2016, we used the consolidated effective tax rate to calculate the tax impact of adjusted items after this was deemed to approximate the tax impact of adjusted items calculated using applicable statutory tax rates. The tax impact of adjusted items for the first quarter of 2017 was calculated using the applicable statutory rates by tax jurisdiction.

Operating Results - Local Currency
In discussing our operating results, we report Adjusted EBITDA margins and refer to percentage changes in local currency, unless otherwise noted. Amounts presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our foreign operations to U.S. dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the comparative period. We believe this methodology provides a framework for assessing performance and operations excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations. The following table reflects the reconciliation to local currency amounts for consolidated (i) revenue, (ii) fee revenue, (iii) operating income, and (iv) Adjusted EBITDA:

The unfavorable impact of exchange rate fluctuations on Operating Income and Adjusted EBITDA is primarily driven by EMEA regional British pound-denominated operating expenses.
2. | During the first quarter of 2017, the company revised its methodology for allocating overhead expenses and certain costs associated with the facilities management platform in EMEA to its reporting segments. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These changes had no impact on consolidated results. |
3. | The company considers Annuity Revenue to be (i) Property & Facility Management, (ii) Project & Development Services, (iii) 50% of Leasing, and (iv) Advisory, Consulting and Other Revenue, as well as (v) LaSalle Advisory Fees. |
4. | Each geographic region offers the company’s full range of RES businesses consisting primarily of (i) tenant representation and agency leasing, (ii) capital markets, (iii) property management and facilities management, (iv) project and development services and (v) advisory, consulting and valuations services. LaSalle provides investment management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. |

5. | Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from our measure of segment operating results, although they are included for consolidated Operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of segment operating results, the allocation of restructuring and acquisition charges to the segments is not a component of management’s assessment of segment performance. |
Restructuring and acquisition charges were $5.4 million and $10.3 million for the second quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Charges in 2017 included (a) $2.9 million of severance and other employment-related charges incurred with respect to headcount reductions or other activities considered to represent structural changes to our local, regional, and/or global business operations and (b) $1.8 million of costs incurred for pre-acquisition due diligence and post-acquisition integration activities, a result of our recent elevated acquisition activity and (c) $0.7 million of net non-cash fair value adjustments to amounts relating to net increases to earn-out liabilities that arose from prior period acquisition activity. Comparatively, charges in 2016 included (a) $7.9 million of severance and other employment-related charges, (b) $4.7 million of costs incurred for pre-acquisition due diligence and post-acquisition integration activities, partially offset by a $2.3 million gain on a foreign currency derivative relating to an acquisition payment.
6. | The consolidated statements of cash flows are presented in summarized form. For complete condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, please refer to the company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2017, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the near future. |
