Consolidated Third-Quarter 2017 Performance Highlights:
- Consolidated revenue was $1.9 billion and consolidated fee revenue was $1.6 billion, representing broad-based increases of 13 percent and 12 percent, respectively, against the prior-year quarter. Revenue growth reflects expansion of both transactional and annuity businesses and was geographically led by EMEA and Asia Pacific. Organic expansion accounted for approximately 70 percent of the RES fee revenue increase.
- Consolidated operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $1.8 billion, an increase of 12 percent compared with $1.6 billion in the prior year, and consolidated fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $1.5 billion, an increase of 11 percent compared with 2016. The increase in expenses was due to revenue growth as well as continued increases to investments in data, technology and people.
- LaSalle's performance was driven by incentive fees, up $27.2 million compared with the prior year, earned on opportunistic dispositions of real estate assets on behalf of clients in Asia Pacific. LaSalle's results also reflect notable equity earnings, primarily from net valuation increases across its co-investment portfolio.
- Net income attributable to common shareholders was $86.6 million compared with $48.0 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $167.9 million, compared with $127.3 million in 2016. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 10.3 percent in USD and local currency, compared with 8.8 percent last year. The consolidated results reflect increased performance across all segments, with notable contributions from transactional businesses and LaSalle incentive fees, along with management initiatives to contain controllable expenses.
- Diluted earnings per share were $1.89, compared with $1.05 last year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $1.96, compared with $1.42 in 2016.
Balance Sheet and Net Interest Expense:
- Total net debt was $1.0 billion as of September 30, 2017, a decrease of $254.1 million from last quarter, primarily reflecting business performance and continued improvements in working capital management.
- Net interest expense for the third quarter was $15.0 million, up from $12.4 million in 2016. The increase was driven by a higher effective interest rate on debt, partially offset by a net period-over-period decrease in average borrowings, attributable to an improvement of over $180 million in operating cash flows compared with the third quarter of 2016.
- The company's Board of Directors declared a dividend of $0.37 per share that will be paid on December 15, 2017, to shareholders of record at the close of business on November 16, 2017. Total dividends declared for 2017 were $0.72 per share, an increase of 13 percent over dividends paid in 2016.

EMEA Third-Quarter 2017 Performance Highlights:
- EMEA revenue was $635.2 million and fee revenue was $463.6 million, reflecting increases of 19 percent and 21 percent, respectively, from last year, with growth across all service lines. The largest source of revenue expansion was in Property & Facility Management, reflecting incremental fee revenue from the August 2016 acquisition of Integral UK Ltd. ("Integral"). Strong growth in Capital Markets & Hotels reflects notable contributions from investment sales in Finland, the UK and Germany. Project & Development Services fee revenue growth was most prominent in MENA and France.
- Operating expenses were $633.0 million, up 19 percent from $523.5 million in 2016. Fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $461.4 million, up 21 percent from $377.4 million last year, due to incremental fee-based operating expenses relating to Integral along with continued increases to investments in data, technology and people.
- Operating income was $2.2 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.8 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.9 million, an increase from $8.5 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 3.0 percent in USD (2.7 percent in local currency), compared with 2.3 percent last year. The increase in profitability reflects revenue performance for the quarter and management initiatives to contain expenses, partially offset by continued integration of Integral.

LaSalle Third-Quarter 2017 Performance Highlights:
- Total revenue of $102.1 million increased 28 percent from 2016 due to incentive fees earned on opportunistic dispositions of real estate assets on behalf of clients in Asia Pacific.
- Equity earnings were $11.6 million, compared with $4.9 million in 2016. Both periods were driven by net valuation increases to investments in Europe and Asia.
- Operating expenses were $80.4 million, up 12 percent from $71.9 million last year, reflecting the increase in variable compensation expense associated with the noted increase in incentive fees, offset by management initiatives to contain controllable expenses.
- Operating income was $21.7 million, an increase from $8.4 million in the prior year. Adjusted EBITDA was $33.3 million, compared with $14.1 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 32.6 percent in USD (32.9 percent in local currency), compared with 17.6 percent in the prior-year period.
- Assets under management were $59.0 billion as of September 30, 2017, an increase of 2 percent in USD (1 percent in local currency) from $57.6 billion as of June 30, 2017. The net increase in assets under management during the third quarter resulted from $1.4 billion of acquisitions, $0.9 billion of net valuation increases and $0.9 billion of foreign currency increases, partially offset by $1.8 billion of dispositions and withdrawals.

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 the company manages 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 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 and warehousing 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 and warehousing 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.
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. Such activity is excluded as the change in activity period-over-period is generally the result of longer-term strategic decisions and therefore not necessarily indicative of core operating results. 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.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Below are reconciliations of (i) Revenue to Fee revenue, (ii) Operating expenses to Fee-based operating expenses, and (iii) Operating income to Adjusted operating income:

To conform to current presentation, 2016 amounts were recast for fee revenue to reflect the adjustment associated with Net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity.
Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders ("Adjusted EBITDA") represents EBITDA attributable to common shareholders ("EBITDA") further adjusted for certain items management does not consider directly indicative of the company's ongoing performance in the context of certain performance measurements. Below is (i) a reconciliation of Net income attributable to common shareholders to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and (ii) the Adjusted EBITDA margin (on a fee-revenue basis):

| (a) In the second and third quarters of 2017, as well as the first three quarters of 2016, the tax impact of adjusted items was calculated using the consolidated effective tax rate as 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 operating results, the company reports Adjusted EBITDA margins and refers 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 foreign operations to U.S. dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the comparative period. Management believes 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:

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) 100% of Property & Facility Management, (ii) 50% of Leasing, (iii) 50% of Project & Development Services, and (iv) 50% of Advisory, Consulting and Other Revenue, as well as (iii) LaSalle Advisory Fees. For purposes of distinguishing organic from acquisition-related contributions, the population of acquisitions includes those completed in the trailing four quarters inclusive of the current reported quarter, with the exception of Integral, which reflects the August 2016 completion date.
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 the company's 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 $3.4 million and $18.0 million for the third quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. Charges in 2017 included $4.2 million of severance and other employment-related charges incurred with respect to headcount reductions or other activities considered to represent structural changes to local, regional, and/or global business operations, partially offset by immaterial amounts for pre-acquisition due diligence and post-acquisition integration activities as well as net non-cash fair value adjustments to earn-out liabilities that arose from prior period acquisition activity. Comparatively, charges in 2016 included (a) $4.9 million of severance and other employment-related charges, (b) $6.0 million of costs incurred for pre-acquisition due diligence and post-acquisition integration activities, (c) a $2.3 million loss on a foreign currency derivative relating to an acquisition payment, which fully offset the corresponding $2.3 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2016 and (d) a $6.5 million charge related to the write-off of an indefinite-lived intangible asset, partially offset by (e) $1.7 million of net non-cash fair value adjustments that resulted in a net decrease to earn-out liabilities that arose from prior period acquisition activity.
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 nine months ended September 30, 2017, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the near future.
7. 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. Benelux refers to Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
8. As of September 30, 2017, LaSalle had $59.0 billion of real estate assets under management with approximately $6.0 billion available for investment ("dry powder") contemplating committed capital and available borrowing capacity at traditional leverage levels. Assets under management were composed of $32.5 billion invested in separate accounts, $14.8 billion invested in fund management vehicles and $11.7 billion invested in public securities. The geographic distribution of separate accounts and fund management investments was $17.3 billion in North America, $16.2 billion in the UK, $7.9 billion in Asia Pacific and $5.9 billion in continental Europe. Assets under management data for separate accounts and fund management amounts are reported on a one-quarter lag.
LaSalle raised $0.8 billion in capital for the three months ended September 30, 2017; dispositions and withdrawals for the same period were $1.9 billion.
