EMEA Performance Highlights:

  • Strong revenue growth was broad-based, with double-digit increases in each service line, and particularly strong in Capital Markets & Hotels, which grew 61 percent.  Leasing also gained share against declining market absorption. Strong performance in the UK, France, the Netherlands and Southern Europe all contributed to growth.
  • Fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $248 million for the quarter, up 18 percent, driven by higher compensation costs as a result of increased revenue.
  • Adjusted operating income, which excludes King Sturge amortization, was $18 million for the quarter, compared with $5 million in 2012.  Adjusted operating income margin calculated on a fee revenue basis was 7.0 percent compared with 2.4 percent last year, representing positive operating leverage from EMEA's substantial revenue increase.

Asia Pacific Performance Highlights:

  • Healthy growth across all business lines, most notably a 56 percent increase in Capital Markets & Hotels driven by Australia, Japan and Hong Kong, as well as a 16 percent fee revenue increase in Property & Facility Management.
  • Fee-based operating expenses were $184 million for the quarter, up 15 percent, partially due to commissions earned on Capital Markets revenue.
  • Operating income was $19 million for the quarter, compared with $12 million in 2012.  Operating income margin calculated on a fee revenue basis was 9.3 percent, compared with 6.6 percent last year.  The increase was driven by substantial revenue growth and overall cost discipline while the firm continued to invest strategically for profitable growth.

LaSalle Investment Management Performance Highlights:

  • Capital raise momentum continued with nearly $1 billion of capital raised during the quarter, $3.3 billion year to date.
  • Advisory fees were $55 million for the quarter, consistent with the second quarter of 2013 and a 2 percent decrease from last year as new fund initiatives continued with capital accumulation and initial investments, and legacy funds continued with liquidations.
  • Operating expenses were $57 million for the quarter, compared with $58 million last year. Compensation and benefits costs decreased in line with the decrease in advisory fees.
  • Operating income was $17 million for the quarter, a margin of 22.7 percent, compared with $24 million in 2012, a margin of 29.4 percent.  Margin was impacted by incentive fees and equity earnings, both of which were healthy in the current quarter but lower than the robust amounts last year.
  • Assets under management were $46.7 billion as of September 30, 2013, compared with $46.3 billion at June 30, 2013, with $2.1 billion of acquisitions and valuation increases partially offset by $1.7 billion of dispositions and foreign currency movements.

JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
Financial Statement Notes

1.   Consistent with U.S. GAAP ("GAAP"), gross contract vendor and subcontractor costs ("gross contract costs") which are managed on certain client assignments in the Property & Facility Management and Project & Development Services business lines are presented on a gross basis in both revenue and operating expenses.  Gross contract costs are excluded from revenue and operating expenses in determining "fee revenue" and "fee-based operating expenses", respectively.  Excluding these costs from revenue and operating expenses more accurately reflects how the firm manages its expense base and its operating margins.  Adjusted operating income excludes the impact of restructuring and acquisition charges and intangible amortization related to the King Sturge acquisition.  "Adjusted operating income margin" is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by fee revenue.  Below are reconciliations of revenue and operating expenses to fee revenue and fee-based operating expenses, as well as adjusted operating income margin calculations, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012.

2.  Charges excluded from GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to arrive at adjusted net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 2012, are (a) restructuring and acquisition charges and (b) intangible amortization related to the 2011 King Sturge acquisition. 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:

3.  Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for restructuring and acquisition 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:

4.  Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results, although they are included for consolidated reporting.  For purposes of segment operating results, the allocation of restructuring charges to the segments has been determined not to be meaningful to investors, so the performance of segment results has been evaluated without allocation of these charges.

5.  Intangible amortization from the second-quarter 2011 King Sturge acquisition is included in depreciation and amortization in the firm's consolidated results, as well as in EMEA's segment results, but has been excluded from adjusted operating income and adjusted net income.

6.  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.

7.  The consolidated statements of cash flows are presented in summarized form. For complete consolidated statements of cash flows, please refer to the firm's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2013, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shortly.

8.  EMEA refers to Europe, Middle East and Africa.  MENA refers to Middle East and North Africa.  Greater China includes China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.  Southeast Asia refers to Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The BRIC countries include Brazil, Russia, India and China.

9.  Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
