Revenue

Revenue increased 16% compared with the prior-year quarter. The collective 22% increase in Transactional revenue was led by (i) Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, within Capital Markets, up 37% (excluding the impact of non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity), (ii) Project Management, within Work Dynamics, up 18%, and (iii) Leasing, within Markets Advisory, up 14%. Several businesses with Resilient revenues continued to deliver strong growth, collectively up 13%, highlighted by Workplace Management, within Work Dynamics, up 15%. Growth in these businesses meaningfully outpaced the 4% and 9% declines in LaSalle Advisory Fees and JLL Technologies, respectively.

On a full-year basis, revenue increased 13%. Resilient revenues grew 14% collectively, highlighted by Workplace Management, up 17%, and Property Management, within Markets Advisory, up 8%. Growth in these businesses outpaced declines in LaSalle Advisory Fees, down 7%, and JLL Technologies, down 8%. Fueled by a strong second half of 2024, Transactional revenues increased 11% collectively, led by (i) Leasing, up 11%, (ii) Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, up 19% (excluding the impact of non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity), and (iii) Project Management, up 8%.

Refer to segment performance highlights for additional detail.

The following chart reflects the year-over-year change in revenue for each of the trailing eight quarters (QTD revenues, on a local currency basis). The chart shows the change in Transactional, Resilient and total revenue.

Net income attributable to common shareholders	$ 241.2	$ 172.4	40 %	44 %	$ 546.8	$ 225.4	143 %	149 %

Effective tax rate ("ETR")	19.5 %	19.6 %	(10) bps	n/a	19.5 %	10.2 %	930 bps	n/a

For the fourth quarter, improved profit was largely driven by Transactional revenues (notably Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory, Leasing and LaSalle incentive fees), partially offset by the impact of certain prior-year items including (i) the timing of incentive compensation accruals and (ii) an outsized actuarial benefit associated with U.S. medical self-insurance.

For the full year, profit expansion was primarily attributable to (i) higher revenues, both Transactional and certain Resilient revenue streams, including Workplace Management within Work Dynamics, and (ii) cost discipline and enhanced leverage of the company's platform. These drivers notably outpaced the $19.5 million expense associated with the Fannie Mae loan repurchase and the impact associated with an outsized prior-year actuarial benefit (noted in the quarterly highlights above). Refer to the segment performance highlights for additional detail.

The following charts reflect the aggregation of 2024 and 2023 segment Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter and full year.

For the full year, the following items were the most notable year-over-year differences between net income and non-GAAP measures¹:

Total equity losses were $76.4 million in 2024, lower than the $201.7 million in 2023, primarily associated with JLL Technologies investments.
Restructuring and acquisition charges were $77.6 million lower in 2024, compared with 2023, primarily due to (i) an expense credit in the third quarter of 2024 associated with a reduction to an acquisition-related earn-out and (ii) lower employment-related costs over the full year as significant cost-out actions were executed in 2023.
The provision for income tax was $132.5 million in 2024, compared with $25.7 million in 2023. The 2023 ETR was unusually low due to relatively lower pre-tax earnings and the geographic mix of income, while the 2024 ETR reflects a more normal rate in JLL's recent history.

Cash Flows and Capital Allocation:

($ in millions, except per share data, "LC" = local currency)	Three Months Ended December 31,			Year Ended December 31,
	2024	2023	Change in USD	2024	2023	Change in USD
Cash flows from operating activities	$ 927.3	$ 729.4	27 %	$ 785.3	$ 575.8	36 %
Free Cash Flow⁶	868.1	680.2	28 %	599.8	388.9	54 %

For the fourth quarter, higher cash flow performance was largely attributable to (i) improvements in Net reimbursables, (ii) higher commission and bonus accruals in the fourth quarter (versus payments made) and (iii) greater cash provided by earnings. These items were partially offset by an increase in receivables largely associated with year-over-year revenue growth.

For the full year, improved cash flow performance was primarily driven by (i) higher cash provided by earnings, (ii) higher commission and bonus accruals (versus payments made) and (iii) improvements in Net reimbursables. These were partially offset by an increase in receivables, $126.4 million of higher cash taxes paid and the repurchase of a loan from Fannie Mae.

Share repurchase activity is noted in the following table. As of December 31, 2024, $1,013.2 million remained authorized for repurchase.

	Three Months Ended December 31,		Year Ended December 31, 2024
($ in millions; shares in thousands)	2024	2023	2024	2023
Total number of shares repurchased	75.2	147.8	373.1	410.3
Total paid for shares repurchased	$ 20.1	$ 21.9	$ 80.4	$ 62.0

Net Debt, Leverage and Liquidity⁶:

	December 31, 2024	September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Total Net Debt (in millions)	$ 800.6	$ 1,597.3	$ 1,150.3
Net Leverage Ratio	0.7x	1.4x	1.2x
Corporate Liquidity (in millions)	$ 3,616.3	$ 3,392.8	$ 3,085.0

The decrease in Net Debt from September 30, 2024 reflected incremental cash flows from operating activities during the fourth quarter of 2024. The Net Debt reduction from December 31, 2023 was largely attributable to improved cash flows from operations in 2024 compared with 2023.

In addition to the Corporate Liquidity detailed above, the company maintains a commercial paper program (the "Program") with $2.5 billion authorized for issuance. As of December 31, 2024, there was $200.0 million outstanding under the Program.

The broad-based increases in Markets Advisory revenue for the fourth quarter and full year were primarily driven by Leasing, led by the office sector. Many geographies achieved double-digit Leasing revenue growth for the quarter, most notably the U.S., India and Greater China² (full-year growth leaders included the U.S., India and the UK). Globally, office leasing grew 20% over the prior quarter, outperforming market growth of 7% according to JLL Research. In addition, the number of large deals increased over the prior year in nearly all asset classes. Property Management revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year was led by expansions in the U.S. and several countries in Asia Pacific, largely due to greater pass-through costs, as management fees were flat for the fourth quarter and increased low single-digits for the full year.

Higher fourth-quarter and full-year Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by transactional revenue growth. The fourth-quarter increase in profit was adversely impacted by the timing of prior-year incentive compensation accruals. Compared with the quarter, full-year profit performance more meaningfully reflected greater platform leverage.

(a) Historically, net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity was included in the Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other caption. Effective beginning Q2 2024, the net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity revenue is separately presented in the above table and prior period financial information was recast to conform with this presentation.

Capital Markets fourth-quarter and full-year top-line results were driven by Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other as investor sentiment and greater interest rate stability supported year-over-year accelerated activity. For the fourth quarter, this revenue growth was led by investment sales and debt advisory, most notably in the U.S. and Asia Pacific, across all asset classes, with residential and industrial leading the way. On a full-year basis, both investment sales and debt advisory achieved double-digit growth across most geographies. Investment sales in the U.S. grew approximately 60% for the quarter (approximately 30% for the full year), outperforming the broader market for U.S. investment sales, which grew 51% for the quarter (12% for the full year) according to JLL Research.

The Adjusted EBITDA improvement for the fourth quarter and full year was largely attributable to transactional revenue growth, described above, together with cost discipline. Full-year Adjusted EBITDA expansion was tempered by (i) the $19.5 million adverse impact associated with the August repurchase of a Fannie Mae loan, and (ii) $5.1 million higher non-cash expense attributable to the year-over-year change in loan loss credit reserves.

Work Dynamics revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year was led by continued strong performance in Workplace Management, largely from a balanced mix of client wins and mandate expansions, as well as incremental pass-through costs in the United States. For the fourth quarter, Project Management delivered double-digit revenue growth across geographies, as higher pass-through costs augmented management fee increases of nearly 10%. For the full year, Project Management revenue performance varied across geographies given shifts in business mix as management fees increased in the mid-single digits, supplemented by higher pass-through costs.

Adjusted EBITDA was flat for the fourth quarter as revenue growth was offset by (i) an approximately $13 million lower actuarial benefit associated with U.S. medical self-insurance compared with the prior-year quarter and (ii) incremental investments in our platform (including technology and artificial intelligence capabilities). Full-year Adjusted EBITDA expansion was driven by top-line performance, which more than overcame the fourth-quarter impacts described above as well as the U.S. state gross receipt tax expense reported in the third quarter of 2024.

(a) Carried interest expense (benefit) is associated with equity earnings/losses on Spark Venture Funds investments.

The fourth-quarter and full-year decreases in JLL Technologies revenue were due to lower contract signings in technology solutions over the past year, partially offset by modest growth in software services.

The fourth-quarter and full-year declines in Adjusted EBITDA were primarily attributable to lower revenue and the year-over-year change in carried interest expense/benefit.

The fourth-quarter increase in LaSalle revenue was due to higher incentive fees earned on asset dispositions on behalf of clients in Asia Pacific. Lower fourth-quarter and full-year advisory fees reflected (i) reduced fees in Europe as a result of structural changes to a lower-margin business, as discussed in previous quarters, and (ii) declines in assets under management ("AUM") over the trailing twelve months. Revenue decreased on a full-year basis, as the decline in advisory fees was partially offset by the increased incentive fees.

The fourth-quarter increase in Adjusted EBITDA was driven by higher incentive fees, net of related variable compensation expense (included within segment platform operating expenses). On a full-year basis, Adjusted EBITDA was flat compared to the prior year, reflecting lower revenues and a few discrete, individually immaterial items, offset by (i) the 2024 benefit of cost management actions and (ii) an $8.2 million gain recognized in the second quarter of 2024 following the purchase of a controlling interest in a LaSalle-managed fund.

As of December 31, 2024, year-to-date AUM decreased nominally in USD (3% in local currency) while quarter-to-date AUM increased 5% in USD (2% in local currency). Changes in AUM are detailed in the tables below (in billions):

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) Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders ("Adjusted EBITDA"),

(ii) Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and Adjusted diluted earnings per share,

(iii) Free Cash Flow (refer to Note 6),

(iv) Net Debt (refer to Note 6) 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 investments, 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.

Effective January 1, 2024, the definitions of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders were updated to exclude certain equity earnings/losses as further described below. Comparable periods have been recast to conform to the revised presentation.

Also effective with first-quarter 2024 reporting, the company no longer reports the non-GAAP measures "Fee revenue" and "Fee-based operating expenses" following the conclusion of a comment letter from the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff in February 2024.

Adjustments to GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate non-GAAP Financial Measures

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 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 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, transaction and integration-related charges, including fair value adjustments, which are generally non-cash in the periods such adjustments are made, 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. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results and therefore are not line items in the segments' reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA.

Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles is primarily associated with the fair value ascribed at closing of an acquisition to assets such as acquired management contracts, customer backlog and relationships, and trade name. Such activity is excluded as it is non-cash and the change in period-over-period activity is generally the result of longer-term strategic decisions and therefore not necessarily indicative of core operating results.

Gain or Loss on Disposition reflects the gain or loss recognized on the sale of businesses. Given the low frequency of business disposals by the company historically, the gain or loss directly associated with such activity is excluded as it is not considered indicative of core operating performance. In 2023, the $0.5 million net loss included $1.8 million of loss related to the disposition of a business in Markets Advisory, partially offset by a $1.3 million gain related to the disposition of a business in Markets Advisory and Capital Markets.

Interest on Employee Loans, Net of Forgiveness reflects interest accrued on employee loans less the amount of accrued interest forgiven. Certain employees (predominantly in our Leasing and Capital Markets businesses) receive cash payments structured as loans, with interest. Employees earn forgiveness of the loan based on performance, generally calculated as a percentage of revenue production. Such forgiven amounts are reflected in Compensation and benefits expense. Given the interest accrued on these employee loans and subsequent forgiveness are non-cash and the amounts perfectly offset over the life of the loan, the activity is not indicative of core operating performance and is excluded from non-GAAP measures.

Equity Earnings/Losses (JLL Technologies and LaSalle) primarily reflects valuation changes on investments reported at fair value. Investments reported at fair value are increased or decreased each reporting period by the change in the fair value of the investment. Where the measurement alternative has been elected, our investment is increased or decreased upon observable price changes. Such activity is excluded as the amounts are generally non‑cash in nature and not indicative of core operating performance.

Note: Equity earnings/losses in the remaining segments represent the results of unconsolidated operating ventures (not investments), and therefore the amounts are included in adjusted profit measures on both a segment and consolidated basis.

Credit Losses on Convertible Note Investments reflects credit impairments associated with pre-equity convertible note investments in early-stage proptech enterprises. Such losses are similar to the equity investment-related losses included in equity earnings/losses for JLL Technologies' investments and are therefore consistently excluded from adjusted measures.

Operating Results - Local Currency

In discussing operating results, the company 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) Operating income and (iii) Adjusted EBITDA.
