Revenue
Revenue increased 15% compared with the prior-year quarter.
The collective 11% increase in Transactional6 revenue was led by Leasing, within Markets Advisory, up 21%, and Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, within Capital Markets, up 18% excluding the impact of non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity.
Several businesses with Resilient6 revenues continued to deliver strong revenue growth, collectively up 16%, highlighted by Workplace Management, within Work Dynamics, up 20%, and Property Management, within Markets Advisory, up 8%. Growth in these businesses outpaced declines in LaSalle Advisory Fees, down 10%, and JLL Technologies, down 4%.
Refer to segment performance highlights for additional detail.
The following chart reflects the year-over-year change in revenue for each of the trailing eight quarters (QTD revenues, on a local currency basis). The chart shows the change in Transactional, Resilient and total revenue.

Net income and Adjusted EBITDA
Net income attributable to common shareholders for the third quarter was $155.1 million, compared with $59.7 million in 2023, and Adjusted EBITDA was $298.1 million, compared with $217.3 million last year.
Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter were $3.20 compared with $1.23 in the prior year. The $40.4 million change in Restructuring and acquisition charges, which are excluded from adjusted measures, reflected (i) an expense credit in the current quarter associated with a lower expected earn-out payout related to a 2021 U.S. property management joint venture as well as (ii) lower employment-related costs given the significant cost-out actions in 2023. Adjusted diluted earnings per share were $3.50 for the third quarter compared with $2.19 in 2023. The effective tax rates for the third quarters of 2024 and 2023 were 19.5% and 19.6%, respectively.
The growth in consolidated profit was primarily attributable to (i) higher revenues, both Transactional and certain Resilient revenues, including Workplace Management within Work Dynamics, and (ii) cost discipline and enhanced leverage of the company's platform. These drivers notably outpaced the timing of revenue-related expense accruals in Work Dynamics and lower contributions from LaSalle. Refer to the segment performance highlights for additional detail.
Net income attributable to common shareholders was $305.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared with income of $53.0 million last year, and Adjusted EBITDA was $731.5 million this year, compared with $555.3 million in 2023. Diluted earnings per share was $6.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, up from diluted earnings per share of $1.10 in 2023; adjusted diluted earnings per share were $7.84, compared with $5.02 last year.

Cash Flows and Capital Allocation:
Net cash provided by operating activities was $261.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared with $325.7 million in the prior-year quarter. Free Cash Flow5 was an inflow of $216.7 million this quarter, compared with $276.2 million in the prior year. In the current quarter, and as disclosed last quarter, the company repurchased a loan from Fannie Mae, negatively impacting operating cash flows. In addition, lower cash flow performance was partially due to nearly $30.0 million of higher cash taxes paid (approximately $117.0 million of incremental cash taxes paid on a year-to-date basis) as well as a $21.0 million headwind from Net reimbursables driven by growth in Workplace Management. Partially offsetting these items was higher cash provided by earnings, driven by improved business performance.
The number of shares repurchased and cash paid for repurchases is noted in the following table:
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024
($ in millions)2024202320242023
Total number of shares repurchased (in 000's)83.5 123.2 297.9 262.5 
Total paid for shares repurchased$20.1 20.1 $60.3 40.1 
As of September 30, 2024, $1,033.3 million remained authorized for repurchase.

Net Leverage Ratio1.4x1.7x1.9x
Corporate Liquidity (in millions)$3,392.8 2,449.4 2,139.5 
The decrease in Net Debt from June 30, 2024, reflected incremental cash flows from operating activities during the third quarter of 2024. The Net Debt reduction from September 30, 2023, was largely attributable to improved cash flows from operations over the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2024, compared with the twelve-month period ended September 30, 2023.
In addition to the Corporate Liquidity detailed above, the company maintains a commercial paper program (the "Program") with $2.5 billion authorized for issuance. As of September 30, 2024, there was $800.0 million outstanding under the Program.

The broad-based increase in Markets Advisory revenue was primarily driven by Leasing and was led by the office sector. Most geographies achieved double-digit growth, notably the U.S., India, UK, Australia and Greater China. Globally, industrial was flat to the prior-year quarter, ending a multi-quarter trend of declines in the sector as deal size rebounded. In addition, the number of larger-scale Leasing deals, where JLL has historically had a greater presence, increased over the prior-year quarter in nearly all asset classes. Property Management revenue growth was led by expansion in the U.S. and several countries in Asia Pacific, including incremental revenue in the U.S. associated with pass-through expenses.
Higher Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by transactional revenue growth and continued cost discipline. In addition, the timing of prior-year incentive compensation accruals positively impacted the year-over-year profit performance.

(a) Historically, net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity was included in the Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other caption. Effective beginning 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 revenue growth was led by Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, excluding Net non-cash MSR, as investor sentiment strengthened. This revenue growth was geographically broad-based, most notably in the United States and Europe, and was across nearly all asset classes, with hotels, office and industrial leading the way. Investment sales in the U.S. grew approximately 30%, meaningfully outperforming the broader market for investment sales, which grew 23% according to JLL Research.
The Adjusted EBITDA improvement was largely attributable to the transactional revenue growth described above and continued cost discipline.

Work Dynamics revenue growth was led by continued strong performance in Workplace Management, largely from U.S. mandate expansions. Project Management revenue performance varied across geographies given shifts in business mix as lower pass-through costs partially offset management fees increases in the mid-single digits. Greater activity in Portfolio Services and Other was largely offset by the absence of fees associated with a large transaction on behalf of a U.S. client in 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA expansion was driven by the top-line performance described above with enhanced platform leverage, which more than offset nearly $10 million of expense associated with the timing of accruals related to gross receipts taxes in a handful of U.S. states.

(a) Included in Segment platform operating expenses is carried interest expense of $2.2 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, and a carried interest benefit of $0.1 million and $9.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, related to Equity earnings (losses) of the segment.
        
The decline in JLL Technologies revenue was due to lower contract signings over the trailing twelve months in services offerings, partially offset by continued growth in software offerings.
The increase in segment operating expenses is primarily driven by 1) $6.3 million of non-cash losses from convertible notes associated with JLL Technologies investments, which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA consistent with equity earnings/losses from investments, 2) an approximate $5 million reduction to incentive compensation in the prior-year quarter attributable to achievement against certain targets, and 3) an incremental $2.3 million of carried interest expense associated with net equity earnings on Spark Venture Funds investments.
The lower Adjusted EBITDA was primarily attributable to lower revenue as well as the incentive compensation and carried interest expenses items described above, which overshadowed the benefits of cost discipline and improved operating efficiency over the trailing twelve months.

LaSalle’s decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to declines in assets under management ("AUM") over the trailing twelve months, most notably in North America and Europe, and lower fees in Europe as a result of structural changes to a lower-margin business, as discussed in previous quarters this year.
The lower Adjusted EBITDA was largely driven by the decline in revenue. In addition, the prior-year quarter included a one-time reduction to a legacy incentive compensation accrual upon final determination of performance relative to target.
As of September 30, 2024, LaSalle had $84.6 billion of AUM. Compared with AUM of $92.9 billion as of September 30, 2023, the AUM as of September 30, 2024, decreased 9% in USD (7% in local currency). The net decrease in AUM over the trailing twelve months resulted from (i) $5.4 billion of dispositions and withdrawals, (ii) $3.9 billion of net valuation decreases, (iii) $1.7 billion of foreign currency decreases and (iv) a $0.8 billion decrease in uncalled committed capital and cash held, partially offset by (v) $3.5 billion of acquisitions and takeovers.
Finally, the company committed to invest an incremental $100 million in a LaSalle flagship fund, JLL Income Property Trust.

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.


20

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 $0.5 million net loss included $1.8 million of loss related to the disposition of a business in Markets Advisory, partially offset by a $1.3 million gain related to the disposition of a business in Markets Advisory and Capital Markets.
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.
Credit Losses on Convertible Note Investments reflects credit impairments associated with pre-equity convertible note investments in early-stage proptech enterprises. Such losses are similar to the equity investment-related losses included in equity earnings/losses for JLL Technologies' investments and are therefore consistently excluded from adjusted measures.

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