Consolidated Performance Highlights:
Consolidated fee revenue for the third quarter was $1.3 billion, up 17 percent from 2014. Growth was broad-based, led by Leasing, up $50 million or 19 percent, Capital Markets & Hotels, up $31 million or 26 percent, and Project & Development Services, up $13 million or 21 percent.
Consolidated fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $1.2 billion for the third quarter, compared with $1.1 billion last year. The firm continued to invest in technology and people for its clients in support of the growing business.
LaSalle Investment Management's advisory fees grew 7 percent; total revenue increased 3 percent driven by substantial incentive fees as certain funds near the end of their stated investment periods. LaSalle also recognized significant equity earnings from net valuation increases and investment dispositions.
Adjusted EBITDA margin calculated on a fee revenue basis was 14.8 percent for the third quarter, compared with 14.1 percent last year.
Adjusted earnings per share reached $2.52 for the third quarter, up 11 percent from last year despite a negative foreign exchange impact of approximately $0.23, or 10 percent compared with a year ago.

Asia Pacific Performance Highlights:
Asia Pacific's performance during the third quarter was significantly higher in local currencies than in U.S. dollars due to the continued strength of the U.S. dollar, particularly against the Australian dollar and Japanese yen.
Fee revenue for the quarter was $233 million, an increase of 20 percent from 2014. Revenue growth was driven by Capital Markets & Hotels up 48 percent, Leasing up 19 percent and Property & Facility Management up 18 percent, compared with last year. Growth in the region was led by Australia, India and China's tier one cities, including Beijing and Shanghai.

LaSalle Investment Management Performance Highlights:
Total segment revenue was $155 million for the quarter, compared with $162 million last year. This included advisory fee growth of 7 percent, $69 million of incentive fees and $21 million of equity earnings.
Incentive fees and equity earnings were notable for the quarter, despite a tough 2014 comparable. Incentive fees were driven by the sale of assets as LaSalle realized gains from legacy investments, whereas equity earnings were primarily valuation driven.
Operating expenses were $92 million for the quarter, compared with $95 million last year. Operating income was $63 million for the quarter, compared with $68 million last year.
Adjusted EBITDA was $63 million for the quarter, compared with $68 million last year. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 40.9 percent, compared with 42.0 percent in 2014. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA was $130 million, up from $108 million in 2014. Year-to-date Adjusted EBITDA margin was 36.3 percent, compared to 34.0 percent in 2014.
Capital raise was $838 million for the quarter and $3.8 billion year-to-date.
Assets under management were $57.2 billion as of September 30, 2015, up from $56.0 billion as of June 30, 2015. The net increase in assets under management resulted from $2.5 billion of acquisitions and takeovers, $1.7 billion of dispositions and withdrawals, $0.7 billion of net valuation decreases and $1.1 billion of net foreign currency increases.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Adjusted net income in the table below for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 no longer incorporates an adjustment to exclude the net intangible amortization related to the 2011 King Sturge acquisition; such amounts were $0.5 million and $1.6 million of amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively. There was no comparable activity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

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.

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.

Restructuring and acquisition charges presented in the Financial Statement Notes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 includes a pre-tax benefit of $2.2 million associated with acquisition-related activity that




was presented within Operating, administrative and other expenses in the consolidated statements of operations for the quarter and reclassified for full-year 2014 reporting comparability.

Restructuring and acquisition charges of $18 million in the quarter ended September 30, 2015 include $13 million related to the write-off of an indemnification asset which arose from prior period acquisition activity. This write-off is offset by the recognition of a tax benefit of an equal amount in the provision for income taxes, and therefore has no impact on net income.
