Revenue

Revenue increased 12% compared with the prior-year quarter.

Businesses with Resilient6 revenues continued to deliver strong revenue growth, collectively up 16%, highlighted by Workplace Management, within Work Dynamics, up 19%, and Property Management, within Markets Advisory, up 8%. Transactional-revenue businesses grew modestly, collectively up 5%.

The collective increase in Transactional6 revenue was led by Project Management, within Work Dynamics, which grew 13% and Leasing, within Markets Advisory, up 5%. In addition, excluding the impact of non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity, Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, within Capital Markets, grew 4%. These increases were meaningfully offset by the expected decline in LaSalle incentive fees, as the prior-year quarter had significant fees associated with the disposition of assets on behalf of clients.

Refer to segment performance highlights for additional detail. The following chart reflects changes in revenue ($ in millions), and percentage changes, for the second quarter of 2024 compared with 2023.

JLL QTD Revenue Growth by Segment

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the second quarter was $84.4 million, compared with $2.5 million in 2023, and Adjusted EBITDA was $246.3 million, compared with $225.1 million last year.

Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter were $1.75 compared with $0.05 in the prior year. In the prior-year quarter, diluted earnings per share reflected $103.5 million of net equity losses, representing $1.69 per share, predominantly associated with JLL Technologies. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.55 for the second quarter compared with $2.12 in 2023. The effective tax rates for the second quarters of 2024 and 2023 were 19.5% and 21.0%, respectively.

The growth in consolidated profit was primarily attributable to (i) higher revenues, particularly Resilient revenues as well as certain Transactional revenue streams like Leasing, within Markets Advisory, (ii) the benefit of cost reduction actions largely executed in 2023 coupled with continued cost discipline and (iii) a positive impact associated with the year-over-year timing of incentive compensation accruals. These positive profit drivers were partially offset by (i) $18.0 million of expense, within Capital Markets, associated with the August 2024 repurchase of a loan, (ii) a $12.2 million year-over-year increase in carried interest expense, within JLL Technologies, primarily as a result of the prior-year quarter's reduction in carried interest expense associated with investment equity losses and (iii) LaSalle segment performance, primarily due to expected lower incentive fees.

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $150.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared with a net loss of $6.7 million last year, and Adjusted EBITDA was $433.4 million this year, compared with $338.0 million in 2023. Diluted earnings per share was $3.12 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, up from diluted loss per share of $0.14 in 2023; adjusted diluted earnings per share were $4.33, compared with $2.82 last year.

The following chart reflects the aggregation of segment Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2024 and 2023.

JLL Aggregation of Segment Adjusted EBITDA (in millions)

Cash Flows and Capital Allocation:

Net cash provided by operating activities was $273.9 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $237.0 million in the prior-year quarter. Free Cash Flow5 was an inflow of $235.7 million this quarter, compared with $198.1 million in the prior year. The year-over-year higher cash inflow was primarily driven by improved business performance, partially offset by the timing of corporate tax payments.

In the second quarter of 2024, the company repurchased 103,701 shares for $20.1 million. In the second quarter of 2023, 139,295 shares were repurchased, returning $20.0 million to shareholders. As of June 30, 2024, $1,053.4 million remained authorized for repurchase.

In the second quarter of 2024, the company acquired SKAE Power Solutions (SKAE), a New York-based provider of data center technical and project management services. Total purchase consideration included cash paid at closing as well as future payments for guaranteed deferred consideration and contingent earn-outs.

The decrease in Net Debt from March 31, 2024, reflected incremental cash flows from operating activities during the second quarter of 2024. The Net Debt reduction from June 30, 2023, was largely attributable to improved cash flows from operations over the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2024, compared with the twelve-month period ended June 30, 2023.

In addition to the Corporate Liquidity detailed above, the company initiated a commercial paper program (the "Program") with $2.5 billion authorized for issuance. The company intends to use proceeds from the Program for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding borrowings under the existing credit facility. As of June 30, 2024, there were no amounts issued and outstanding under the Program.

The increase in Markets Advisory revenue was primarily driven by Leasing, which achieved growth in most geographies, most notably in the U.S., Greater China, India and Germany. The number of larger-scale deals, where JLL has historically had a greater presence, increased over the prior-year quarter. In addition, Leasing growth was led by the office sector, which saw increased deal size and transaction volumes, partially offset by industrial which had a decline in both deal size and volume. Property Management revenue growth was led by expansion in the Americas and Asia Pacific, including incremental revenue associated with pass-through expenses.

The Adjusted EBITDA increase was predominantly driven by revenue growth and the benefit of cost management actions largely executed in 2023. In addition, the timing of incentive compensation accruals positively impacted year-over-year profit performance for the quarter.

(a) Historically, net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity was included in the Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other caption. Effective for 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 recast to conform with this presentation.

Capital Markets achieved broad-based revenue growth across all business lines despite residual macroeconomic headwinds, including interest rate uncertainty during the current quarter. Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, excluding Net non-cash MSR, increased in the office, industrial, and hotels sectors, and was geographically led by the UK, Australia and the United States. Notably, Investment Sales growth in the U.S. was greater than 20%, notably outperforming the broader market for investment sales, which fell 3% according to JLL Research. Revenue growth was partially offset by the impact of net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity as well as a decline in Equity Advisory.

The increase in segment operating expenses was largely due to an $18.0 million impact associated with the August 2024 repurchase of a loan which JLL originated and then sold to Fannie Mae. This impact includes the amount of the repurchase price in excess of unpaid principal balance, for items such as unpaid interest, as well as current estimated losses associated with the repurchased loan, reflecting the current underlying value of the collateral.

The slight decline in Adjusted EBITDA was attributable to the aforementioned negative impact associated with the repurchased loan, which overshadowed the revenue growth described above and the benefit associated with cost management actions largely executed in 2023. In addition, the lower equity earnings reflected a $4.6 million benefit in the prior-year quarter which, as expected, did not recur this year.

Work Dynamics revenue growth was led by continued strong performance in Workplace Management, as Americas contract wins and mandate expansions from 2023 onboarded. Project Management revenue grew over the prior-year quarter, primarily in the Americas and Asia Pacific, where higher pass-through costs drove the increase in revenue and management fees increased low single digits.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to the top-line performance described above, largely driven by Workplace Management, and continued cost discipline. In addition, the timing of incentive compensation accruals positively impacted year-over-year profit performance for the quarter.

(a) Included in Segment platform operating expenses is carried interest expense of $2.2 million and $2.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and a reduction in carried interest expense of $10.0 million and $9.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, related to Equity (losses) earnings of the segment.

The decline in JLL Technologies revenue was partially due to lower contract signings over the last few quarters and delayed decisions on technology spend from existing solutions clients, which included certain contract renewals.

Segment operating expenses includes carried interest, which was a $10.0 million reduction to expense in the prior-year quarter, versus incremental expense of $2.2 million this quarter. Carried interest expense is associated with equity earnings/losses on certain investments within the JLL Technologies Spark Venture Funds and the reduction to expense in the prior year reflected notable equity losses on certain investments in 2023.

The lower Adjusted EBITDA was entirely attributable to the $12.2 million change in carried interest expense, as described above, which overshadowed cost management actions and improved operating efficiency over the trailing twelve months.

LaSalle's decrease in revenue was primarily due to the expected decline in incentive fees compared with 2023. Advisory fees also declined, attributable to lower assets under management ("AUM"), as detailed below, and lower fees in Europe as a result of structural changes to a lower-margin business, as discussed in the first quarter.

The Adjusted EBITDA contraction was driven by lower revenues and a few discrete, individually immaterial items, partially offset by (i) the benefit of cost management actions largely executed in 2023 and (ii) an $8.2 million gain recognized following the purchase of a controlling interest in a LaSalle-managed fund.

As of June 30, 2024, LaSalle had $86.6 billion of AUM. Compared with AUM of $93.2 billion as of June 30, 2023, the AUM as of June 30, 2024, decreased 7% in USD (5% in local currency). The net decrease in AUM over the trailing twelve months resulted from (i) $4.3 billion of dispositions and withdrawals, (ii) $4.2 billion of net valuation decreases, (iii) $1.8 billion of foreign currency decreases, and (iv) a $0.2 billion decrease in uncalled committed capital and cash held, partially offset by (v) $3.9 billion of acquisitions.

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 5),

(iv) Net Debt (refer to Note 5), 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 $1.8 million loss related to the disposition of a business in Markets Advisory.

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.

(b) For the six months ended June 30, 2023, basic shares outstanding were used in the calculation of dilutive loss per share as the impact of unvested stock-based compensation awards would be anti-dilutive.

(c) For the first half of 2024 and 2023, the tax impact of adjusted items was calculated using the applicable statutory rates by tax jurisdiction.

 

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.

3.   As of June 30, 2024, LaSalle had $86.6 billion of real estate assets under management ("AUM"), composed of $45.6 billion invested in fund management vehicles, $37.8 billion invested in separate accounts and $3.2 billion invested in public securities. The geographic distribution was $28.9 billion in North America, $23.4 billion in Europe and $20.2 billion in Asia Pacific. The remaining $14.1 billion relates to Global Solutions which is a global business line.

Compared with AUM of $89.7 billion as of March 31, 2024, the AUM as of June 30, 2024, decreased 3% in USD (2% in local currency). The net decrease in AUM during the quarter resulted from (i) $1.3 billion of net valuation decreases, (ii) $1.2 billion of foreign currency decreases, (iii) $0.7 billion decrease in uncalled committed capital and cash held, (iv) $0.7 billion of dispositions and withdrawals, partially offset by (v) $0.8 billion of acquisitions.

Assets under management data for separate accounts and fund management amounts are reported on a one-quarter lag. In addition, LaSalle raised $0.6 billion in private equity capital for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.

4.   Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from the company's measure of segment operating results, although they are included within 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. The table below shows Restructuring and acquisition charges.
