The COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic") continued to disrupt JLL's operations into the fourth quarter, most significantly in transaction-based service lines. In response to the pandemic's sustained disruptions to revenue and business operations in the fourth quarter, the company continued various cost mitigation actions. Specifically, expense management actions delivered approximately $85 million of non-permanent cost savings this quarter (nearly $330 million for the full year), including $13 million related to various government relief programs around the world ($80 million for the full year). These non-permanent savings represent costs likely to return in future periods as the macroeconomic environment recovers. In addition, the company recognized certain non-cash benefits this quarter, including a $9.0 million decrease to loan loss credit reserves in the Americas and $8.1 million of equity earnings from fair value increases in LaSalle. Year to date, these non-cash items were a net $21.6 million increase to loan loss credit reserves and $12.4 million of equity losses in LaSalle.

Consistent with the trend of second and third quarters of 2020, fourth-quarter RES revenue and fee revenue declined across the geographic segments and most service lines, compared with 2019. Property & Facility Management grew modestly in 2020, primarily attributable to strength in the United States offsetting declines in EMEA. Lower Capital Markets and Leasing fee revenue reflected the sharp year-over-year drop in global market volumes. Refer to the segment performance highlights for additional details. Drivers of year-over-year changes in RES revenue and fee revenue for the full year were similar to the quarterly drivers discussed above. In addition, full-year Capital Markets included incremental revenue contributions in the first half of the year from the HFF acquisition.

The decline in LaSalle revenue for the fourth quarter and full year was substantially due to expected lower incentive fees compared to an exceptional 2019. Solid advisory fee performance for the year reflected strong capital raising during the trailing twelve months.

A net decrease in fourth-quarter and full-year restructuring and acquisition charges (including charges associated with the acquisition and integration of HFF) impacted diluted earnings per share but not adjusted diluted earnings per share, compared with the prior-year periods. Refer to Note 3 following the Financial Statements for further discussion.

Fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 21.3% in USD (21.1% in local currency), compared with 20.8% in 2019. The 50 basis-point net margin expansion was driven by cost mitigation actions partially offset by net dilution from RES, reflecting the decline in fee revenue, and lower incentive fees in LaSalle.

Full-year adjusted EBITDA margin, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 14.0% in USD (13.9% in local currency), compared with 15.6% last year. The 160 basis-point net reduction was driven by (i) lower transaction-based revenues in RES, (ii) the differential in LaSalle incentive fees and equity earnings/losses and (iii) the non-cash charge to increase loan loss credit reserves, partially offset by savings from cost mitigation actions.

Cash Flows, Balance Sheet and Share Repurchases:

Cash provided by operating activities was a record $1,114.7 million this year, compared with $483.8 million in 2019. The substantial increase in cash provided by operating activities was the result of strong cash collection on receivables, participation in government relief programs (including payment deferral opportunities for government cash obligations) and lower cash taxes paid in 2020. These items were partially offset by lower net income this year as well as increased incentive compensation paid in the first quarter of 2020 for 2019 performance.

Total net debt was $192 million as of December 31, 2020, representing decreases of nearly $560 million from September 30, 2020, and nearly $670 million from December 31, 2019. The significant decreases from the third quarter and prior year reflected the operating cash flow drivers noted above and resulted in no amounts drawn on the Credit Facility as of December 31, 2020.

Demonstrating the company's commitment to returning cash to shareholders over the long term, approximately 451,000 shares were repurchased for $50.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2020. For the full year, approximately 897,000 shares were repurchased for $100.0 million. In February 2021, the company's Board of Directors authorized $500 million for share repurchases, an addition to the $100 million remaining from the 2019 approval.

Similar to previous quarters this year, the pandemic negatively affected the Americas transaction-based service lines. Although U.S. Leasing revenue in the fourth quarter and full-year reflected a notable decrease in office volumes, industrial continued to see significant growth. Lower investment sales and debt placement activity drove the decline in Capital Markets revenue for the fourth quarter, partially offset by notable growth in multifamily origination and servicing fees as well as equity advisory. Full-year Capital Markets revenue included $211.5 million of incremental contributions in the first half of the year from HFF ($216.6 million of fee revenue) with organic fee revenue down 25% for the year. Property & Facility Management achieved significant revenue and fee revenue growth for the fourth quarter and full year driven by new property management and Corporate Solutions clients as well as expansions of existing Corporate Solutions client relationships.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 25.0% in USD and local currency for the quarter, compared with 22.5% in 2019. An estimated $62 million of non-permanent cost savings and growth in Property & Facility Management more than offset the margin decline attributable to transaction-based revenue.

EMEA's fourth-quarter and full-year revenue and fee revenue were significantly impacted by the pandemic. Capital Markets revenue declines for the quarter and year were most notable in Germany, France and Spain; certain geographies reflected resiliency and market outperformance in the fourth quarter. While continued depressed office market volumes drove lower Leasing revenue, particularly in the UK and Poland, strong performance in industrial partially offset this impact. The decline in Property & Facility Management fee revenue for the full year was primarily due to (i) approximately $52 million of lower fee revenue in the UK mobile engineering business (approximately $12 million for the quarter), largely the result of work delays from client office closures, and (ii) the absence of approximately $30 million of prior-year fee revenue relating to property management businesses in continental Europe that were sold in late 2019.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 11.3% in USD (9.9% in local currency), compared with 13.5% last year. The decline in profitability resulted primarily from lower revenue and losses on certain contracts, partially offset by a reduction to the allowance for bad debts.

Consistent with the second and third quarters, Asia Pacific's transaction-based revenue was meaningfully impacted by the pandemic. Capital Markets revenue declines were most notable in Singapore and Japan for the fourth quarter and also Greater China on a year-to-date basis. This reflected a decline in market volumes and shift in deal activity away from large transactions. Leasing fee revenue continued to gain momentum as office leasing activity increased compared with the second and third quarters, though market volumes remained down compared with 2019. Property & Facility Management revenue and fee revenue was resilient for the fourth quarter and full year as property management and Corporate Solutions teams partnered with clients to execute on enhanced facilities management in an environment of increased complexity brought on by the pandemic.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 21.7% in USD and local currency for the quarter, equal to 2019. The consistent margin performance was primarily due to approximately $16 million of non-permanent cost savings, including government relief programs, as well as lower fixed expenses from cost mitigation actions taken throughout 2020. These expense savings offset the margin dilution attributable to the decline in transaction-based revenue.

The expected decline in incentive fees, following an exceptional 2019, was the primary driver of lower fee revenue for the fourth quarter and full year. The decrease in fourth-quarter advisory fees was largely driven by $4.0 million of one-time fees in the prior year. However, strong private equity capital raising over the trailing twelve months more than offset such declines for the full year.

Net equity losses for the full year reflected decreases to the estimated fair value of underlying real estate investments, a direct result of the pandemic's impact on expected real estate prices.

Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 26.8% in USD (27.6% in local currency), compared with 30.0% last year. The margin decline was substantially driven by lower incentive fees coupled with deferred compensation expense related to prior-years' incentive fees, partially offset by higher equity earnings and the impact of cost mitigation actions taken throughout 2020.

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

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

(iv) 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.

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

Gross Contract Costs represent certain costs associated with client-dedicated employees and third-party vendors and subcontractors and are indirectly reimbursed through the fees the Company receives. These costs are presented on a gross basis in Operating expenses with the equal amount of corresponding fees in Revenue before reimbursements. Consistent with the treatment of directly reimbursed expenses, excluding gross contract costs from both Fee revenue and Fee-based operating expenses more accurately reflects how the company manages its expense base and operating margins and also enables a more consistent performance assessment across a portfolio of contracts with varying payment terms and structures, including those with direct versus indirect reimbursement of such costs.

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 service 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 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 not a line item in the segments' reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA.

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 relationships, and trade name, is more notable following the company's increase in acquisition activity in recent years. Such non-cash activity is excluded as 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 on Disposition reflects the net gain recognized on the sale of property management businesses in continental Europe. Given the low frequency of business disposals by the company historically, the gain directly associated with such activity is excluded as it is not considered indicative of core operating performance.

Change in estimated liability associated with Tax Cuts and Jobs Act reflects the changes to the to the provisional amounts recorded in 2017 for the transition tax on the deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries and the remeasurement of U.S. deferred tax assets. Such activity is excluded as the amount relates predominantly to accumulated foreign earnings, net of tax credits, realized over many years with cash obligations to be paid over an eight-year period. Therefore, these amounts are not considered indicative of core operating results.

(a)

For all quarters of 2020 and the second and fourth quarters of 2019, the tax impact of adjusted items was calculated using the applicable statutory rates by tax jurisdiction. The tax impact of adjusted items for the first and third quarters of 2019 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.

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.   Each geographic segment 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.

3.   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, including the portion related to the acquisition and integration of HFF (transaction/deal costs, retention and severance expense, early lease termination costs, and other integration expenses). The increase in severance and other employment-related charges reflected cost mitigation actions taken across the globe in response to the pandemic.
