EMEA Performance Highlights:
EMEA's fee revenue performance during the first quarter was significantly higher in local currencies than in U.S. dollars due to the U.S. dollar exhibiting significantly more strength against European currencies in 2015 compared with 2014. Since revenue and expenses are generally incurred in the same currencies, the operating income and EBITDA impacts are modest relative to the revenue impact.
Fee revenue for the quarter was $254 million, an increase of 25 percent from 2014. Revenue growth was driven by Capital Markets & Hotels, up 59 percent, and Property & Facility Management up 14 percent, compared with last year. Growth in the region for the year was broad-based, led by the UK, Germany and France.
Fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $256 million for the quarter, compared with $239 million last year.
Operating loss was $3 million for the quarter, compared with a loss of $5 million in 2014.
Adjusted EBITDA was $2 million for the quarter, compared with $1 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin calculated on a fee revenue basis was 0.9 percent for the quarter, compared with 0.2 percent in 2014.

JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
Financial Statement Notes

1. Consistent with U.S. GAAP (“GAAP”), gross contract vendor and subcontractor costs (“gross contract costs”) which are managed on certain client assignments in the Property & Facility Management and Project & Development Services business lines are presented on a gross basis in both revenue and operating expenses. Gross contract costs are excluded from revenue and operating expenses in determining “fee revenue” and “fee-based operating expenses,” respectively. Excluding these costs from revenue and operating expenses more accurately reflects how the firm manages its expense base and its operating margins.

Adjusted operating income excludes the impact of restructuring and acquisition charges. “Adjusted operating income margin” is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by fee revenue. Below are reconciliations of revenue and operating expenses to fee revenue and fee-based operating expenses, as well as adjusted operating income margin calculations, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

2. Net restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to arrive at adjusted net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and 2014. Below are reconciliations of GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to adjusted net income and calculations of earnings per share for each net income total:

3. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for restructuring and acquisition charges. Although adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, they are used extensively by management and are useful to investors and lenders as metrics for evaluating operating performance and liquidity. EBITDA is used in the calculations of certain covenants related to the firm’s revolving credit facility. However, adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not calculated under GAAP, the firm’s adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Below is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA:

4. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results, although they are included for consolidated reporting. For purposes of segment operating results, the allocation of restructuring and acquisition charges to the segments has been determined not to be meaningful to investors, so the performance of segment results has been evaluated without allocation of these charges.

5. Each geographic region offers the firm’s full range of Real Estate Services businesses consisting primarily of tenant representation and agency leasing; capital markets; property management and facilities management; project and development services; and advisory, consulting and valuations services. LaSalle Investment Management provides investment management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

6. The consolidated statements of cash flows are presented in summarized form. For complete consolidated statements of cash flows, please refer to the firm’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission shortly.

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.

8. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
