Jones Lang LaSalle Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2009 Results
Fourth-quarter net income of $52 million, a 26 percent year-over-year increase
CHICAGO, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (NYSE: JLL), the leading integrated financial and professional services firm specializing in real estate, today reported net income of $52 million on a U.S. GAAP basis, or $1.19 per share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2009, compared with $41 million, or $1.17 per share, for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2008. Adjusting for Restructuring and certain non-cash co-investment charges in the quarter, fourth-quarter 2009 net income would have been $63 million, or $1.44 per share. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 was $815 million, a 2 percent increase from $797 million in 2008 although down 3 percent in local currency. The firm's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("adjusted EBITDA") in the fourth quarter of 2009 were $112 million.
The net loss for the year ended December 31, 2009, was $4 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with net income of $84 million, or $2.44 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2008. Adjusting for Restructuring and co-investment charges, full-year 2009 net income would have been $70 million, or $1.75 per share. Full-year revenue was $2.5 billion in 2009, an 8 percent decrease in U.S. dollars, 5 percent in local currency, compared with 2008. Adjusted EBITDA was $239 million for the year.
2009 Highlights:
- Fourth-quarter net income of $52 million, a 26 percent increase from fourth-quarter 2008
- Solid performance in the Americas driven by corporate outsourcing and successful Staubach integration
- Asia Pacific generated strong full-year results with improved fourth-quarter transaction performance and annuity revenue growth
- Balance sheet strengthened with net debt repayment of $334 million for the year
Results for full-year 2009 included $47 million of Restructuring charges as well as $51 million of non-cash co-investment charges. Restructuring charges are primarily severance related and also include integration costs from the 2008 acquisitions of The Staubach Company and Kemper's. Restructuring charges are excluded from segment operating results although they are included for consolidated reporting. The non-cash charges relate primarily to impairments of the firm's investments in real estate ventures and are included in Equity losses at the consolidated and segment reporting levels. Results for the fourth quarter of 2009 included $11 million of Restructuring charges, taken principally in EMEA for additional staff reductions, and $4 million of non-cash co-investment charges.
"We are very pleased with our strong finish to a difficult year," said Colin Dyer, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. "Although markets face a slow and uneven recovery, the actions we've taken to protect our businesses and win market share make us confident about our prospects for 2010."

The firm benefited from aggressive cost actions taken across all its businesses for staff reductions and discretionary expenses. Excluding Restructuring charges, operating expenses for the fourth quarter were $722 million, compared with $705 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, up 2 percent but down 2 percent in local currency.
For the full year, operating expenses, excluding Restructuring charges, were $2.3 billion in 2009, compared with $2.5 billion in 2008, down 8 percent for the year, 5 percent in local currency.
Income tax expense exceeded pre-tax net income for full-year 2009, resulting in a net loss. The effective tax rate of 23 percent for the fourth quarter of 2009 is more representative of an annual effective tax rate the firm would expect over the long term.
Balance Sheet
At the end of 2009, the outstanding balance on the firm's long-term credit facilities was $175 million. The firm reduced its net bank debt position by $334 million during the year driven by proceeds from its common stock offering in June 2009, strong cash generation and reduced acquisition and capital spending. During the fourth quarter, the firm reduced its net bank debt by $164 million compared to September 30, 2009. The firm was well within the covenant requirements under its bank agreements.
Business Segment Performance Highlights
Investor and Occupier Services
- Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2009 in the Americas region was $345
million, an increase of 9 percent over the fourth quarter of 2008.
Full-year 2009 revenue was $1.0 billion, an increase of 11 percent
from the prior year, primarily as a result of the Staubach acquisition
contributing to six months of results in 2008 but 12 months in 2009.
Fourth-quarter Leasing revenue increased 20 percent, to $176 million.
Leasing revenue increased 34 percent in the year, to $500 million, up
from $373 million in 2008. Property and Facility Management revenue
increased 25 percent for the quarter, to $80 million, and 15 percent
for the year, to $227 million. Though Project & Development Services
revenue was down 24 percent in the fourth quarter, to $44 million,
early actions were taken to right-size the business and ensure it
maintained profit performance. Full-year Project & Development
Services revenue was $159 million, down 21 percent from 2008.
Operating expenses were $302 million in the fourth quarter and $945
million for the year, increases of 9 percent in each period compared
with 2008. The fourth-quarter increases were primarily the result of
increased business activity over the prior-year period while the full-
year increases were primarily the result of additional cost structure
from the Staubach acquisition.
The region's fourth-quarter EBITDA was $52 million compared with $56
million in the fourth quarter of 2008. Full-year EBITDA was $134
million compared with $115 million in 2008.
- EMEA's fourth-quarter revenue was $226 million, compared with $243
million for the fourth quarter of 2008, a reduction of 7 percent, 14
percent in local currency. Full-year revenue was $644 million
compared with $871 million in 2008, a decrease of 26 percent, 20
percent in local currency. The decreases were driven by continued
reductions in transaction volumes across the region.
Capital Markets revenue was $39 million in the fourth quarter and $107
million for the full year of 2009, down 38 percent and 41 percent in
local currency, respectively. Leasing revenue was $70 million for the
fourth quarter and $173 million for full-year 2009, down 12 percent
and 25 percent in local currency, respectively. EMEA results varied
across the region, reflecting significant market declines in Russia,
MENA and Germany and stable-to-improving markets in France and the
United Kingdom. Property & Facility Management revenue was $44
million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 8 percent in local
currency, and $136 million for the full year, up 7 percent in local
currency, as the firm continued to drive annuity-like revenue growth.
Operating expenses were $210 million in the fourth quarter, a decrease
of 5 percent, 12 percent in local currency. Operating expenses were
$653 million for the year, a decrease of 23 percent, 15 percent in
local currency. Cost reductions were the result of the aggressive,
targeted cost management actions taken across the region.
The region's fourth-quarter EBITDA was $22 million compared with $28
million in the prior year. Full-year EBITDA was $11 million compared
with $50 million in 2008.

quarter of 2009 compared with $144 million in 2008. Full-year revenue
was $539 million, compared with $536 million for the same period in
2008. In local currency, revenue was up 10 percent for the quarter
and 2 percent in the year compared with 2008.

a 28 percent increase from 2008, 30 percent in local currency.
Capital Markets revenue was $28 million for the fourth quarter, up 6
percent in local currency compared with the same period in 2008, and
$58 million for the year, down 4 percent in local currency. Leasing
revenue was $42 million in the fourth quarter, up 1 percent in local
currency, and $109 million for the year, down 18 percent in local
currency.
The firm leveraged its large China presence to capitalize on the
government's economic stimulus package, which drove 20 percent year-
over-year revenue growth across its business in the country. The
firm's Australia business reported the highest U.S. dollar revenue
improvement in the region resulting from its strong Property &
Facility Management business, favorable foreign currency exchange
rates and generally better economic conditions relative to the rest of
the region.
Fourth-quarter operating expenses were $153 million, compared with
$137 million in 2008, a decrease of 1 percent in local currency.
Operating expenses for the region were $507 million for the year, a

quarter of 2008. There were $1 million of equity losses in the fourth
quarter of 2009 compared with $3 million in the fourth quarter of
2008, primarily from non-cash charges related to co-investments.
Full-year revenue, including equity losses, was $208 million, compared
with $352 million in the prior year. Equity losses were $53 million
in 2009, $4 million in 2008. Advisory fees were $242 million for the
year, down $36 million from 2008 or 13 percent, 9 percent in local
currency. Advisory fees were approximately $60 million in each
quarter of 2009.
The business recognized $1 million of Incentive fees in the fourth
quarter of 2009, $13 million for the full year. Asset purchases, a
key driver of Transaction fees, continued to be limited by the group's
cautious view of the market.
Despite the difficult global real estate environment, LaSalle
Investment Management raised over $4.0 billion of net equity in 2009
for separate accounts, funds and public securities. Assets under
management were $39.9 billion.
Summary
In the midst of a very challenging environment, the firm continued to perform for clients while protecting its businesses, market positions and top talent. Aggressive but targeted cost actions taken throughout the year contributed to strong fourth-quarter performance. The common stock offering and the firm's ability to generate cash resulted in a strong balance sheet at year end. With the pace of recovery differing across global markets, the firm will capture emerging opportunities by leveraging its leading market positions and maintaining its focus on containing costs.

Financial Statement Notes
1. Charges excluded from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at adjusted
net income for the quarters and years ended December 31, 2009, and
December 31, 2008, respectively, are integration costs related to the
Staubach and Kemper's acquisitions completed in 2008, severance costs
and non-cash charges related to co-investments.
Below are reconciliations of GAAP net income (loss) to adjusted net
income and calculations of earnings (loss) per share ("EPS"), for each
net income (loss) total (in millions after tax, except per share):

===== ===== ===== =====
An effective tax rate of 24.9 percent is assumed in calculating
Restructuring, net of tax, and Non-cash co-investment charges, net of
tax, as 24.9 percent was the effective tax rate for the year ended 2008
and is a reasonable estimate of an annual effective tax rate the firm
would expect over the long term.
Basic shares outstanding are used in the calculation of full-year 2009
GAAP EPS as the use of dilutive shares outstanding would cause that EPS
calculation to be anti-dilutive.
2. EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, net of interest
income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is
a non-GAAP financial measure, it is used extensively by management and
is useful to investors and lenders as one of the primary metrics for
evaluating operating performance and liquidity. The firm believes that
EBITDA is an indicator of ability to service existing debt, to sustain
potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital requirements.
EBITDA is also used in the calculations of certain covenants related to
the firm's revolving credit facility. However, EBITDA should not be
considered as an alternative either to net income (loss) or net cash
provided by operating activities, both of which are determined in
accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is not calculated under GAAP, the
firm's EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used
by other companies.
Below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA and adjusted
EBITDA (in thousands):

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.

Services, Capital Markets and Occupier Services. The Investor and
Occupier Services business consists primarily of tenant representation
and agency leasing; capital markets; property management and facilities
management; project and development management; and advisory,
consulting and valuation 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, 2009, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

East and North Africa.
