Consolidated Third-Quarter 2020 Performance Highlights:
The COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic") continued to disrupt JLL's operations, most significantly in transaction-based service lines. As with the second quarter, JLL personnel across the globe, notably in Corporate Solutions and other annuity businesses, partnered with clients to ensure continuity of operations in response to the evolving conditions as well as develop and implement safe return-to-work measures. In response to the pandemic's sustained disruptions to revenue and business operations, the company meaningfully expanded both fixed and variable cost mitigation efforts. With actions taken through October, the company reduced fixed costs by approximately
Consistent with the second quarter, RES revenue and fee revenue declined across the geographic segments and most service lines. Property & Facility Management had modest growth, primarily attributable to both strength in the Corporate Solutions and property management businesses, particularly in the United States. Capital Markets and Leasing declines in fee revenue reflected the sharp year-over-year drop in global market volumes. Refer to the segment performance highlights for additional details.
LaSalle achieved solid growth in advisory fees which, coupled with higher transaction fees, offset the impact of lower incentive fees.

Similar to the second quarter, the pandemic negatively affected the Americas transaction-based service lines. Although U.S. Leasing revenue reflected a notable decrease in office leasing activity, JLL again outperformed substantial market declines in gross absorption. Continued strong growth in industrial partially offset the reduced activity in office. Notably lower investment sales and debt placement activity led to a decline in Capital Markets revenue. Property & Facility Management achieved significant revenue and fee revenue growth driven by new property management and Corporate Solutions clients as well as expansions of existing Corporate Solutions client relationships.

Consistent with the second quarter, Asia Pacific's transaction-based revenue was meaningfully impacted by the pandemic. Capital Markets revenue declines were most notable in Japan and Greater China, reflecting a shift in deal activity away from large transactions. Leasing fee revenue improved from the second quarter as office leasing activity increased compared to the second quarter. Property & Facility Management revenue and fee revenue demonstrated continued resiliency as property management and Corporate Solutions teams partnered with clients to execute on enhanced facilities management and reentry plans.

Note: Annuity revenue for LaSalle is defined as Advisory fees plus Transaction fees |
LaSalle achieved solid advisory fee growth, driven by strong private equity capital raising over the trailing twelve months. The advisory fee growth together with higher transactions fees offset the decline in incentive fees.
Equity earnings in the current quarter were substantially attributable to an increased share price of a co-investment in a LaSalle-managed publicly traded REIT in Japan. The prior-year quarter's equity earnings were driven by net valuation increases of co-investments, primarily in Asia Pacific.

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 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 we receive. 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.

(a) For the first nine months of 2020 and the second quarter 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.
