JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1.INTERIM INFORMATION
Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the audited financial statements of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated ("JLL," which may also be referred to as "the Company," "we," "us" or "our") for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and also available on our website (www.jll.com), since we have omitted from this quarterly report certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements. You should also refer to the "Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section within Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2026, and for the periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods.
Historically, our quarterly revenue and profits have tended to increase from quarter to quarter as the year progresses. This is the result of a general focus in the real estate industry on completing transactions by calendar year end, while certain expenses are recognized evenly throughout the year. Growth in our Resilient businesses has, to an extent, lessened the seasonality in our revenue and profits during the past several years. Within our Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets Services segments, revenue from transaction-based activities is driven by the size and timing of our clients' transactions and can fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our Investment Management segment generally earns investment-generated performance fees on clients' real estate investment returns when assets are sold, the timing of which is geared toward the benefit of our clients, as well as co-investment equity gains and losses, primarily dependent on underlying valuations.
A significant portion of our Compensation and benefits expense is from incentive compensation plans, which we generally accrue throughout the year based on progress toward annual performance targets. This process can result in significant fluctuations in quarterly Compensation and benefits expense from period to period. Non-variable operating expenses, which we recognize when incurred during the year, are relatively constant on a quarterly basis.
We provide for the effects of income taxes on interim financial statements based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year, which we base on forecasted income by country and expected enacted tax rates. As required, we adjust for the impact of discrete items in the quarters in which they occur. Changes in the geographic mix of income can impact our estimated effective tax rate.
As a result of the items mentioned above, the results for the periods ended September 30 are not fully indicative of what our results will be for the full fiscal year.
Accelerated share repurchase program
In March 2026, we entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") program, whereby we made an upfront payment of $200.0 million and received initial delivery of approximately 587,200 shares, which represented a portion of the prepayment amount. During the second quarter, we received approximately 51,200 additional shares, which represented the second and final delivery related to the ASR. The cumulative repurchases under this ASR totaled approximately 638,400 shares at an average price of $313.29 per share.
2.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently adopted accounting guidance
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. We adopted this guidance for the interim periods beginning January 1, 2026 and elected to apply the practical expedient, which assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of
8
current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
Recently issued accounting guidance
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to expenses but will have no impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The ASU aims to better align the accounting with how software is developed. Specifically, software development has shifted from using a prescriptive and sequential development method to using an incremental and iterative development method. This ASU makes targeted improvements to increase the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which requires entities to account for acquired loans that meet certain criteria ("purchased seasoned loans") using the gross-up approach, aligning their treatment with purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. Under this approach, entities recognize the loans at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied prospectively to loans acquired on or after the initial application date. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement and presentation of government grants to business entities. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies interim reporting requirements under U.S. GAAP for all entities preparing interim financial statements and notes. The ASU improves the navigability of Topic 270, specifies the form and content of interim financial statements and notes, provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and introduces a disclosure principle for condensed interim financial statements requiring disclosure of events with a material effect since the end of the previous annual period. This ASU is effective for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, as part of its ongoing project to make minor amendments and clarifications to the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments address issues across a wide range of Topics and are intended to clarify, correct errors or make minor improvements without significant impact on current accounting practice or cost to most entities. The ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those years, with early adoption permitted on an issue-by-issue basis. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In May 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026-02, Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818), which establishes recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements for environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those years, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

3.REVENUE RECOGNITION
Capital Markets Services revenue excluded from the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606")
Our mortgage banking and servicing operations, comprised of (i) all Loan Servicing revenue and (ii) activities related to mortgage servicing rights ("MSR" or "MSRs") and loan origination fees (included in Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other), are not considered revenue from contracts with customers, and accordingly are excluded from the scope of ASC Topic 606. Such out-of-scope revenue is presented below.

Contract assets and liabilities
Our contract assets, net of allowance, are included in Short-term contract assets and Other assets and our contract liabilities are included in Short-term contract liabilities and deferred income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The majority of contract liabilities are recognized as revenue within 90 days. Such contract assets and liabilities are presented below.

Remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate transaction price for contracts where our performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. As of September 30, 2026, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represented an insignificant amount of our total revenue. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, excluded from the aforementioned remaining performance obligations are (i) amounts attributable to contracts expected to be completed within 12 months and (ii) variable consideration for services performed as a series of daily performance obligations, such as facilities management, property management and Investment Management contracts. A significant portion of our customer contracts, which are not expected to be fulfilled within 12 months, are represented by the contracts within these businesses.

4.BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Effective January 1, 2026, we began reporting Software and Technology Solutions (historically a standalone reporting segment) as a fifth business line within Real Estate Management Services. In addition, the revenue disaggregation within Leasing Advisory was collapsed and the presentation of Investment Management revenue was simplified to reflect two captions: Advisory fees and Incentive and transaction fees. Prior period financial information was recast to conform with these presentation changes.
We manage and report our operations as four global business segments:
(1) Real Estate Management Services,
(2) Leasing Advisory,
(3) Capital Markets Services, and
(4) Investment Management.
Real Estate Management Services provides a broad suite of integrated services to occupiers of real estate, including facility and property management, project management, portfolio and other services, and software and technology solutions. Leasing Advisory offers agency leasing and tenant representation, as well as advisory and consulting services. Capital Markets Services offerings include investment sales, debt and equity advisory, value and risk advisory, and loan servicing. Investment Management provides services on a global basis to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
We allocate all indirect expenses to our segments, other than interest and income taxes, as nearly all expenses incurred benefit one or more of the segments. Allocated expenses primarily consist of corporate functional costs across the globe, which we allocate to the business segments using an expense-specific driver-based methodology.
Adjusted EBITDA does not include (i) Restructuring and acquisition charges, (ii) gain/loss on disposal, (iii) interest on employee loans, net of forgiveness, (iv) Equity earnings/losses for Investment Management and Proptech Investments, (v) credit losses on convertible note investments, net, (vi) net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity, (vii) Interest expense, net of interest income, (viii) Income tax provision and (ix) Depreciation and amortization, which are otherwise included in Net income on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The Other segment items caption includes (i) other income/loss, (ii) gain/loss on disposal, (iii) interest on employee loans, net of forgiveness, (iv) net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, (v) the noncontrolling interest portion of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles which is not attributable to common shareholders and (vi) the noncontrolling interest portion of Equity earnings/losses which are not attributable to common shareholders.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") of JLL measures and evaluates the segment results based on Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Our CODM is not provided with total asset information by segment and accordingly does not measure or allocate resources based on total asset information. Therefore, we have not disclosed asset information by segment. As of September 30, 2026, we continue to define our Global Executive Board, collectively, as our CODM.

5.BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Business Combinations Activity
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we completed one acquisition within the Real Estate Management Services business segment. Aggregate terms of our acquisition included cash paid at closing of $20.5 million.
A preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in (i) Goodwill of $37.4 million, (ii) identifiable intangibles of $7.6 million, (iii) assumed liabilities less acquired assets of $3.3 million and (iv) $21.2 million of noncontrolling interest. As of September 30, 2026, we have not completed our analysis to assign fair values to all of the identifiable intangible and tangible assets acquired and, therefore, we may further refine the purchase price allocations for this acquisition during the open measurement period.
The following table details cash payments relating to acquisitions. Payments for current-year acquisitions are included in cash used in investing activities, while payments for prior-year acquisitions are primarily reflected in cash used in financing activities.

Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, we anticipate making the majority of these earn-out payments over the next four years. Refer to Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, and Note 10, Restructuring and Acquisition Charges, for additional discussion of our earn-out liabilities.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and unamortized intangibles as of September 30, 2026 consisted of: (i) Goodwill of $4,724.9 million, (ii) identifiable intangibles of $587.1 million, amortizing over their remaining finite useful lives and (iii) $50.6 million of identifiable intangibles with indefinite useful lives that are not amortized. Notable portions of our goodwill and unamortized intangibles are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which means a portion of the movements in the reported book value of these balances is attributable to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.
In conjunction with our evolving organizational structure described more fully in Note 4, Business Segments, we reassessed our reporting units as of January 1, 2026. As a result of reporting Software and Technology Solutions (historically a standalone reporting segment) as a fifth business line within Real Estate Management Services, the goodwill previously attributed to the Software and Technology Solutions reporting unit was combined with the goodwill of the Real Estate Management Services reporting unit.
We considered the change to Software and Technology Solutions and Real Estate Management Services reporting units a triggering event requiring the testing of our goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2026. We performed a quantitative test relying on the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, an income approach, and a market approach in determining the
15
estimated fair value of these reporting units. Our analysis relied on significant judgments and assumptions in determining the inputs, specifically, forecasted revenue growth, forecasted profitability margin and the discount rate used to present value the estimated future cash flows. Our analysis indicated that no impairment existed, as the estimated fair value of both the Software and Technology Solutions and Real Estate Management Services reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values.

Our Investment Management co-investments are primarily direct investments in property or commingled funds, where we co-invest alongside our clients and for which we also have an advisory agreement, while our Proptech Investments are generally investments in early-to-mid-stage proptech companies as well as proptech funds.
We have maximum potential unfunded commitments to direct investments or investment vehicles of $234.7 million and $5.3 million as of September 30, 2026 for our Investment Management business and Proptech Investments, respectively.
Impairment
There were no significant other-than-temporary impairment charges on Investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an investment-level impairment charge of $2.2 million on one investment accounted for under the measurement alternative. This activity was included within Equity earnings on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. There were no other significant impairments in the prior-year period.

Fair Value
We report a majority of our investments at fair value. For such investments, we increase or decrease our investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value and we report these fair value adjustments in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses. The table below shows the movement in our investments reported at fair value.
The table below does not include $17.8 million of investments in certain mid-stage non-public companies as they are non-marketable equity investments accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost minus impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

7.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We measure certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which defines fair value as the price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. In addition, it establishes a framework for measuring fair value according to the following three-tier fair value hierarchy:
•Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets accessible as of the measurement date;
•Level 2 - Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 - Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, Reimbursable receivables, Warehouse receivables, restricted cash, contract assets, Accounts payable, Reimbursable payables, Commercial paper, Short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt, contract liabilities, Warehouse facilities, Credit facility, Long-term debt and foreign currency derivatives. The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, Reimbursable receivables, restricted cash, contract assets, Accounts payable, Reimbursable payables, contract liabilities and the Warehouse facilities approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying values of our Credit facility, Commercial paper and Short-term borrowings approximate their estimated fair values given the variable interest rate terms and market spreads.
We estimated the fair value of our Long-term debt using dealer quotes that are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value and carrying value of our debt, including its current portion, are presented in the following table.

Investments at Fair Value - Net Asset Value ("NAV")
We report a significant portion of our investments at fair value. For such investments, we increase or decrease our investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value, and we report these fair value adjustments in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses.
For a subset of our investments reported at fair value, we estimate the fair value using the NAV per share (or its equivalent) our investees provide. Critical inputs to NAV estimates included valuations of the underlying real estate assets and borrowings, which incorporate investment-specific assumptions such as discount rates, capitalization rates, rental and expense growth rates, and asset-specific market borrowing rates. We did not consider any adjustments to NAV estimates provided by investees, including adjustments for any restrictions to the transferability of ownership interests embedded within investment agreements to which we are a party, to be necessary based upon (i) our understanding of the methodology utilized and inputs incorporated to estimate NAV at the investee level, (ii) consideration of market demand for the specific types of real estate assets held by each venture and (iii) contemplation of real estate and capital markets conditions in the localities in which these ventures operate. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, investments at fair value using NAV were $552.2 million and $491.1 million, respectively. As these investments are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy, they have been excluded from the following table.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table categorizes by level in the fair value hierarchy the estimated fair value of our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Investments
We classify one investment as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as a quoted price is readily available. We increase or decrease our investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value of the investment. We report the fair value adjustments in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses.
Investments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy represent investments in early-stage non-public entities where we elected the fair value option. For most of our investments, the carrying value was deemed to approximate fair value due to the proximity of the investment date, or date of most recent financing raise, to the balance sheet date, as well as consideration of investee-level performance updates. The fair value of certain investments is estimated using significant unobservable inputs which require judgment due to the absence of market data. In determining the estimated fair value of these investments, we utilize appropriate valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses, scorecard method, Black-Scholes models and other methods as appropriate. Key inputs include projected cash flows, discount rates, peer group multiples and volatility.
To the extent there are changes in fair value, we recognize such changes through Equity earnings/losses.
19
Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts
We use cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts in the normal course of business to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. We determine the fair values of these derivatives based on current market rates. The inputs for these valuations are Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. We record the asset and liability positions for the contracts based on the net payable or net receivable position with the financial institutions from which we purchase these contracts.
See Note 12, Foreign Currency Derivatives and Hedging for additional details regarding these contracts.
Warehouse Receivables
The fair value of the Warehouse receivables is based on already locked-in security-buy prices. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of our Warehouse receivables included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were under commitment to be purchased by government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs") or by a qualifying investor as part of a U.S. government or GSE mortgage-backed security program. The Warehouse receivables are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as all significant inputs are readily observable.
Deferred Compensation
We maintain a deferred compensation plan for certain of our U.S. employees that allows them to defer portions of their compensation. We recorded this plan on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as Deferred compensation plan assets, long-term deferred compensation plan liabilities, included in Deferred compensation, and as a reduction of equity, Shares held in trust. The components of the plan are presented in the following table.
| (in millions) | September 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||
| Deferred compensation plan assets | $ | ||||||||||
| Long-term deferred compensation plan liabilities | |||||||||||
| Shares held in trust | |||||||||||
Earn-Out Liabilities
We classify our Earn-out liabilities within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy because the inputs we use to develop the estimated fair value include unobservable inputs. See Note 5, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional discussion of our Earn-out liabilities.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Both our interest rate lock commitments to prospective borrowers and forward sale contracts with prospective investors are undesignated derivatives and considered Level 3 valuations due to significant unobservable inputs related to nonperformance risk. Although nonperformance risk does not currently have a material impact, an increase in nonperformance risk assumptions would result in a lower fair value measurement.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
We review our investments, except those investments otherwise reported at fair value, on a quarterly basis, or as otherwise deemed necessary, for indications of whether we may be unable to recover the carrying value of our investments and whether such investments are other than temporarily impaired. When the carrying amount of the investment is in excess of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we use a discounted cash flow approach or other acceptable method to determine the fair value of the investment in computing the amount of the impairment. Our determination of fair value primarily relies on Level 3 inputs. We did not recognize any significant investment-level impairment losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2026. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized an investment-level impairment charge of $2.2 million on one investment accounted for under the measurement alternative. This activity was included within Equity earnings on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. There were no other significant impairments in the prior-year period.

Commercial Paper Program
We maintain a commercial paper program (the "Program") in which we may issue up to $2.5 billion of short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated commercial paper notes at any time. Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. Notes issued under the Program will be sold under customary market terms in the U.S. commercial paper market at par less a discount representing an interest factor or, if interest bearing, at par. The maturities of the Program notes may vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. We intend to use net proceeds of the Program for general corporate purposes.
Credit Facilities
We have a $3.3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that matures on November 3, 2028. Undiscounted pricing on the Facility ranges from Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.875% to 1.35% , with pricing including facility fees, as of September 30, 2026 at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 0.86 %.
In addition, prior to June 30, 2026, we had access to an uncommitted credit agreement (the "Uncommitted Facility"), which allowed for discretionary short-term liquidity of up to $400.0 million. Interest and fees were set at the time of utilization and calculated on a 360-day basis. Between quarter-end dates, we periodically used the proceeds to reduce indebtedness under the Facility at a lower interest rate. The Uncommitted Facility was terminated on June 30, 2026, and had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2025, and September 30, 2026. We last used the Uncommitted Facility in June of 2025.

Our Facility and senior notes are subject to customary financial and other covenants, including cash interest coverage ratios and leverage ratios, as well as event of default conditions. We remained in compliance with all covenants as of September 30, 2026.
Warehouse Facilities
We maintain our Warehouse facilities with third-party lenders for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold, included in Warehouse receivables. The following table shows our gross cash activity related to Warehouse receivables as well as the corresponding, and largely offsetting, net change of our Warehouse facilities. This activity, in aggregate, is reflected as net cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

We have lines of credit established for the sole purpose of funding our Warehouse receivables. These lines of credit exist with financial institutions and are secured by the related Warehouse receivables. Pursuant to these facilities, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants regarding (i) minimum net worth, (ii) minimum servicing-related loans and (iii) minimum adjusted leverage ratios. We remained in compliance with all covenants under our facilities as of September 30, 2026.
We are party to a master repurchase agreement with a maximum capacity of $1.1 billion. Transactions executed under this agreement are accounted for as secured borrowings.
9.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are a defendant in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
In order to better manage our global insurance program and support our risk management efforts, we supplement our traditional insurance coverage for certain types of claims by using a wholly-owned captive insurance company. The level of risk retained by our captive insurance company, with respect to professional indemnity claims, is up to $10.0 million per claim. We contract third-party insurance companies to provide coverage of risk in excess of this amount. When a potential loss event occurs, we estimate the ultimate cost of the claim and accrue the amount in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets when probable and estimable. In addition, we have established receivables from third-party insurance providers for claim amounts in excess of the risk retained by our captive insurance company. There was no such receivable recorded as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, in Notes and other receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table shows the professional indemnity accrual activity and related payments.

Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") Program Loan Loss-Sharing
As a participant in the DUS program, we retain a portion of the risk of loss for loans that are originated and sold under the DUS program. Net losses on defaulted loans are shared with Fannie Mae based upon established loss-sharing ratios. Generally, we share approximately one-third of incurred losses, subject to a cap of 20% of the principal balance of the mortgage at origination. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had loans, funded and sold, subject to such loss-sharing arrangements with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $27.9 billion and $25.8 billion, respectively.
For all DUS program loans with loss-sharing obligations, we record a non-contingent liability equal to the estimated fair value of the guarantee obligations undertaken upon sale of the loan, which reduces our gain on sale of the loan. Subsequently, this liability is amortized over the estimated life of the loan and recognized as Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the loss-sharing guarantee obligations were $30.9 million and $30.4 million, respectively, and are included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10.RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION CHARGES
Restructuring and acquisition charges include cash and non-cash expenses. Cash-based 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 and (iii) other restructuring charges. Non-cash charges include (i) stock-based compensation expense for retention awards issued in conjunction with prior-period acquisitions and (ii) fair value adjustments to earn-out liabilities relating to prior-period acquisition activity and (iii) asset impairment charges. Restructuring and acquisition charges are presented in the following table.

12.FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
We enter into cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure arising from our net investments in foreign operations. These swaps are designated as net investment hedges. The resulting gains and losses from these derivatives offset the foreign currency translation gains and losses on the associated net investments, both recorded as a component of AOCI.
The initial value of any excluded components from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. The interest accrual component of cross-currency swaps is reported directly in earnings.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our currency exchange rate risk related to intercompany lending and cash management practices. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Gains and losses from the revaluation of these contracts are recognized as a component of Operating, administrative and other expense and are offset by the gains and losses recognized on the revaluation of intercompany loans and other foreign currency balances. The impact to net income was not significant for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.
We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of the counterparties under the derivative contracts. We manage this risk by entering transactions with major financial institutions, monitoring their credit ratings and diversifying our positions across counterparties. Our derivatives are subject to master netting arrangements that allow for net settlement of contracts with the same counterparties. There are currently no requirements for the Company to post collateral.
In October 2025, we entered into cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges to hedge the net investments of euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and Canadian dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. The total notional of these swaps is $805.8 million, which will mature between 2030 and 2035.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, we entered into forward contracts to hedge foreign currency risk that were not designated as hedges which generally have a maturity of less than 90 days. The following table details the gross notional value and net basis of these contracts.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC and also available on our website (www.jll.com). You should also refer to Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking statements generally identified by the words anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, plans, intends and other similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause JLL's actual results, performance, achievements, plans and objectives to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements, plans and objectives expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. See the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included within this section for further information.
We present our quarterly Management's Discussion and Analysis in the following sections:
(1)A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates;
(2)Certain items affecting the comparability of results and certain market and other risks we face;
(3)The results of our operations, first on a consolidated basis and then for each of our business segments; and
(4)Liquidity and capital resources.
SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
An understanding of our accounting policies is necessary for a complete analysis of our results, financial position, liquidity and trends. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete summary of our significant accounting policies.
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates and judgments that impact (i) the stated amount of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and (iii) the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounting estimates are based on management's judgment. We consider them to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from current judgments or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. Although actual amounts likely differ from such estimated amounts, we believe such differences are not likely to be material.
A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q can be found in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2026.
ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY
Macroeconomic Conditions
Our results of operations and the variability of these results are significantly influenced by (i) macroeconomic trends, (ii) the geopolitical environment, (iii) the global and regional real estate markets and (iv) the financial and credit markets. These macroeconomic and other conditions have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on the variability of our results of operations.
29
Acquisitions and Dispositions
The timing of acquisitions and dispositions may impact the comparability of our results on a year-over-year basis. Our results include incremental revenues and expenses following the completion date of an acquisition. Relating to dispositions, comparable results will include the revenues and expenses of recent dispositions and results may also include gains (losses) on the disposition. In addition, there is generally an initial adverse impact on net income from an acquisition as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence expenditures, transaction/deal costs and post-acquisition integration costs, such as fees from third-party advisors engaged to assist with onboarding and process alignment, retention and severance expense, early lease termination costs and other integration expenses. For dispositions, we may also incur such incremental costs during the disposition process and these costs could have an adverse impact on net income.
Transaction-Based Revenues and Equity Earnings
Transaction-based revenues are impacted by the size and timing of our clients' transactions. Such revenues include investment sales and other capital markets activities, agency and tenant representation leasing transactions, incentive fees, and other services/offerings, which increase the variability of the revenue we earn. Specifically for Investment Management, the magnitude and timing of recognition of incentive fees are driven by one or a combination of the following: changes in valuations of the underlying investments, dispositions of managed assets and the contractual measurement periods with clients. The timing and the magnitude of transaction-based revenues can vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter and also vary geographically.
Equity earnings may vary substantially from period to period for a variety of reasons, including as a result of (i) valuation increases (decreases) on investments reported at fair value, (ii) gains (losses) on asset dispositions and (iii) impairment charges. The timing of recognition of these items may impact comparability between quarters, in any one year or compared with a prior year.
The comparability of these items can be seen in Note 4, Business Segments, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and is discussed further in Segment Operating Results included herein.
Foreign Currency
We conduct business using a variety of currencies, but we report our results in U.S. dollars. As a result, the volatility of currencies against the U.S. dollar may positively or negatively impact our results. This volatility can make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of the reported U.S. dollar results of operations, because such results may indicate a growth or decline rate that might not have been consistent with the real underlying growth or decline rates in the local operations. Consequently, we provide information about the impact of foreign currencies in the period-to-period comparisons of the reported results of operations in our discussion and analysis of financial condition in the Results of Operations section below.
Seasonality
Historically, we have reported relatively lower revenue and profit in the first quarter with both measures increasing each of the following three quarters. This is a result of a general focus in the real estate industry on completing or documenting transactions by calendar year end and the fact that certain expenses are constant through the year. Our seasonality excludes the recognition of investment-generated performance fees and realized and unrealized investment equity earnings and losses. Specifically, we recognize incentive fees when assets are sold or as a result of valuation increases in the portfolio, the timing of which may not be predictable or recurring. In addition, investment equity gains and losses are primarily dependent on valuations of underlying investments, and the direction and magnitude of changes to such valuations are not predictable. Non-variable operating expenses, which we treat as expenses when incurred during the year, are relatively constant on a quarterly basis.
A significant portion of our Compensation and benefits expense is from incentive compensation plans, which we generally accrue throughout the year based on progress toward annual performance targets. This quarterly estimation can result in significant fluctuations in quarterly Compensation and benefits expense from period to period. Consequently, the results for the periods ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, are not fully indicative of the results we expect to realize for the full fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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:
•Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders ("Adjusted EBITDA") and
•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. 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 U.S. GAAP financial measures and does not rely solely on non-GAAP financial measures. Because our non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjustments to U.S. GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net non-cash 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 net cash flows over the estimated mortgage servicing periods. The above activity is reported entirely within Revenue of the Capital Markets Services segment. Excluding net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity reflects how we manage and evaluate 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) other restructuring, including 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.
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 2026, the $0.6 million net gain included a $1.0 million gain related to a business disposition within Real Estate Management Services, partially offset by a $0.4 million loss related to a disposition within Capital Markets Services, both during the second quarter.
Interest on employee loans, net of forgiveness reflects interest accrued on employee loans less the amount of accrued interest forgiven. Certain employees (predominantly in Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets Services) 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 (Investment Management and Proptech Investments) primarily reflects valuation changes on investments reported at fair value, which are increased or decreased each reporting period as fair value changes. 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.
33
Note: Equity earnings/losses for segments other than Investment Management represent the results of unconsolidated operating ventures (not investments), and therefore, the amounts are included in Adjusted EBITDA on both a segment and consolidated basis.
Credit losses on convertible note investments, net reflects changes in the allowance for credit losses associated with pre-equity convertible note investments in early-stage proptech enterprises. Such activity is similar to the equity investment-related gains and losses included in Equity earnings/losses for Proptech Investments and is therefore consistently excluded from adjusted measures.

In discussing our operating results, we report percentage changes in local currency, unless otherwise noted. Amounts presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our foreign operations to U.S. dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the comparative period. We believe 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.

Revenue
For the third quarter, revenue increased 12% compared with the prior-year quarter. Advisory revenues were collectively up 22%, led by Leasing Advisory, up 27%, and Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, within Capital Markets Services, up 23% (excluding the impact of net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity). The 9% increase in Resilient revenues was highlighted by Workplace Management, up 10%, and Project Management, up 14%, both within Real Estate Management Services.
For the nine months ended September 30, revenue increased 10% compared with the prior-year period. Advisory revenues were collectively up 20%, led by Leasing Advisory, up 23%, and Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, within Capital Markets Services, up 24% (excluding the impact of net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity). The 8% increase in Resilient revenues was highlighted by Workplace Management, up 9%, and Project Management, up 9%, both within Real Estate Management Services.
The following highlights Resilient and Advisory revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, followed by the year-over-year change for each of the trailing eight quarters. Refer to segment operating results for further detail.

Operating Expenses
Consolidated operating expenses were $6.9 billion for the third quarter, up 11% from the same period in 2025. Gross contract costs were $4.7 billion, up 10% from the prior-year quarter, attributable to growth from businesses with higher client pass-through expenses such as Workplace Management and Project Management, both within Real Estate Management Services. Platform operating expenses were $2.2 billion for the third quarter, an 11% increase from the prior-year quarter, largely due to higher commission expense, driven by Advisory revenue growth.
The third-quarter increase in Restructuring and acquisition charges was primarily driven by higher severance and employment-related charges. The decrease for the first nine months of 2026 reflected lower restructuring, pre-acquisition and post-acquisition charges, which more than offset the impact from higher severance and employment-related charges and the change in earn-out fair value adjustments.

The expense reduction was primarily due to (i) lower average borrowings and a lower effective interest rate compared with the prior-year period and (ii) the net interest benefit from our cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA"). The OBBBA included provisions altering the timing of deductions from certain depreciable assets, research and experimental expenses, and interest expense, with some effective in 2025 and some in 2026. The OBBBA further altered the determination and rates of taxation of international earnings, primarily effective in 2026. For provisions effective in 2026, the current period's effective tax rate includes the impact of such OBBBA provisions, which are not material to income tax expense or the financial statements as a whole.

For the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, higher Adjusted EBITDA and margin were primarily driven by Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets Services, reflecting strong revenue growth, with incremental profit contributions from Real Estate Management Services. In addition, margin expansion reflected enhanced platform leverage. Performance for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 also reflected lower loan-related expenses, including the absence of loan loss expense recognized in the comparative periods.
The following chart reflects segment Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 and 2025. Proptech Investments are reflected outside of the reporting segments in "All Other;" Adjusted EBITDA for the segments, therefore, does not sum to the consolidated total.

Segment Operating Results
Effective January 1, 2026, we began reporting Software and Technology Solutions (historically a standalone reporting segment) as a fifth business line within Real Estate Management Services. In addition, the revenue disaggregation within Leasing Advisory was collapsed and the presentation of Investment Management revenue was simplified to reflect two captions: Advisory fees and Incentive and transaction fees. Prior-period financial information was recast to conform with this presentation.
We manage and report our operations as four business segments: Real Estate Management Services, Leasing Advisory, Capital Markets Services and Investment Management. Our Real Estate Management Services business provides a broad suite of integrated services to occupiers of real estate, including facility and property management, project management, portfolio and other services, and software and technology solutions. We consider "Property Management" to be services provided to non-occupying property investors and "Workplace Management" to be services provided to facility occupiers. Leasing Advisory offers agency leasing and tenant representation, as well as advisory and consulting services. Our Capital Markets Services offerings include investment sales, debt and equity advisory, value and risk advisory, and loan servicing. Investment Management provides services on a global basis to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
Segment operating expenses comprise Gross contract costs and Segment platform operating expenses, which include Platform compensation and benefits; Platform operating, administrative and other expenses; and Depreciation and amortization. Our measure of segment results excludes Restructuring and acquisition charges.

Compared with the prior-year periods, Real Estate Management Services revenue growth for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 was attributable to continued momentum within Workplace Management and, for the quarter, accelerated growth in Project Management. Within Workplace Management, the increases for the third quarter and first nine months were driven by a largely balanced mix of mandate expansions and new client wins. Project Management's double-digit growth for the quarter follows a strong third-quarter 2025 (up 38% on a two-year stacked basis), with higher pass-through costs augmenting a mid single-digit management fee increase. This growth was led by the U.S. and India, which outpaced softness in Australia and certain geographies in Europe. Project Management growth in the first nine months of 2026 benefited from the stronger third-quarter performance and also followed a meaningful increase in the prior-year period (up 21%), also with higher pass-through costs augmenting a mid single-digit management fee increase.
The increases in segment platform operating expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were largely driven by incremental revenue-related human capital investments. For the third quarter, certain discrete expenses contributed to the increase in Platform operating, administrative and other. Higher gross contract costs for both periods correlated to top-line performance across the segment's business lines.
Higher Adjusted EBITDA and margin for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were primarily attributable to the revenue growth described above and incremental platform leverage.

Higher Leasing Advisory revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, compared with the prior-year periods, was driven by accelerated momentum in the U.S., most notably in the industrial, office and data center asset classes. Geographically, the strong U.S. growth (up 39% for the quarter and 30% for the first nine months of 2026) significantly outpaced softness in certain other geographies. Broad-based asset class growth across the U.S. was primarily due to a meaningful uptick in average deal size for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026. Leasing Advisory revenue growth outperformed market volumes in both office and industrial. Global office revenue was up 9% for the quarter and 14% for the first nine months of 2026, compared with market volumes(1) up 5% and 1%, respectively. In the U.S., office revenue was up 18% and 19%, compared with market volumes(1) up 2% and 7%, and industrial revenue was up 56% and 45%, compared with market volumes(1) up 38% and 35%.
The increases in segment platform operating expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were primarily attributable to higher commission expense, driven by the revenue growth. Consistent with the first half of 2026, larger average deal size drove a higher average commission rate for the third quarter as well as the nine-month period, as higher commission tiers were achieved earlier this year.
Adjusted EBITDA and margin expansion for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were driven by revenue growth, net of higher commission expense, coupled with incremental platform leverage.

For the third quarter of 2026, Capital Markets Services top-line growth was broad-based across nearly all major geographies and sectors, led by investment sales along with robust debt advisory and equity advisory transactions. The increase in segment revenue was led by the U.S. and Japan. Compared with the prior-year quarter, investment sales grew 33%, debt advisory was up 13% and equity advisory was up 39%. Global investment sales revenue grew 33%, outpacing the broader market's 9% growth(1). In the U.S., investment sales revenue grew 34%, outpacing the broader market's 11% growth(1).
Similar to the quarter-to-date results, Capital Markets Services top-line growth for the first nine months of 2026 was broad-based across nearly all major geographies and sectors, led by investment sales along with robust debt advisory and equity advisory transactions. The increase in segment revenue was led by the U.S. and Japan. Compared with the prior-year period, investment sales grew 27%, debt advisory was up 27% and equity advisory was up 50%. Global investment sales revenue growth of 27% outpaced the broader market's 17% growth(1), and U.S. investment sales revenue growth of 27% outpaced the broader market's 18% growth(1).
Higher segment platform operating expenses for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were substantially driven by increased commission expense, correlating with the strong revenue growth. The higher average commission rate, versus the comparative periods, reflected both the earlier achievement of higher commission tiers and the geographic mix of revenue. Segment platform operating expenses also reflected $6.8 million in lower loan-related expenses for the quarter ($30.2 million lower for the first nine months of 2026), including the absence of prior-year loan losses and a reduction in loan loss reserves. For the first nine months, lower amortization expense — as certain acquisition-related intangible assets fully amortized at the end of the second quarter of 2025 — also partially offset the higher segment platform operating expenses.
Higher Adjusted EBITDA and margin expansion for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 were primarily attributable to strong revenue growth, net of higher commission expense, as well as lower loan-related expenses noted above and incremental platform leverage.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA excludes Equity earnings attributable to common shareholders for Investment Management.
Compared with the prior-year periods, lower Incentive and transaction fees drove the decline in Investment Management revenue for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026. Advisory fees were largely steady for both periods, as growth from recent capital raising in the Americas was offset by anticipated lower fees from funds in Asia Pacific, as discussed in recent quarters.
Segment platform operating expenses decreased for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026, primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense, correlated to the lower Incentive and transaction fees described above.
The change in Adjusted EBITDA and margin for the third quarter and first nine months of 2026 primarily reflected the lower Incentive and transaction fees noted above, net of lower incentive compensation costs.
Equity earnings in the third quarter were driven by valuation increases across the portfolio, which were higher in the prior-year quarter. Equity earnings for the first nine months of 2026 were higher, reflecting first-half valuation increases across the underlying investment portfolio, compared with equity losses in the first half of 2025, which were driven by valuation declines in Asia Pacific and North America funds.
AUM increased 2% in both USD and in local currency during the quarter. Over the trailing twelve months, AUM was flat in USD and increased 2% in local currency. Changes in AUM are detailed in the tables below (in billions):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We finance our operations, co-investment activity, share repurchases, capital expenditures and business acquisitions with internally generated funds, borrowings on our Facility, and through issuance of Long-term debt and Commercial paper.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities provided $342.8 million of cash in the first nine months of 2026, compared with $182.3 million of cash provided by operating activities during the same period in 2025. The improvement in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to higher cash provided by earnings, partially offset by higher trade receivables, correlated with revenue growth, and the timing of net reimbursables activity.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We used $254.4 million of cash for investing activities during the first nine months of 2026, compared with $251.6 million used during the same period in 2025. The increase in cash used for investing activities was primarily attributable to higher capital expenditures, largely offset by lower net contributions to investments (the largest of which was our 2025 $100.0 million contribution to JLL Income Property Trust ("JLL IPT")).
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Financing activities used $179.3 million of cash during the first nine months of 2026, compared with $72.8 million provided during the same period in 2025. Net cash outflow reflected over $400 million of incremental share repurchases in 2026 (through the first nine months), partially offset by higher net borrowings compared with the prior-year period. We discuss specific drivers of financing activities, including share repurchases, in further detail below.
Debt
Our $3.3 billion Facility matures on November 3, 2028, and bears a variable interest rate. Outstanding borrowings, including the balance of the Facility, Short-term borrowings (financing lease obligations, overdrawn bank accounts and local overdraft facilities) and the balance outstanding under the Program are presented below.

In addition to our Facility, we had the capacity to borrow up to $58.3 million under local overdraft facilities as of September 30, 2026.
The following table provides additional information on our Program, Facility and Uncommitted Facility, collectively. The Uncommitted Facility had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2025, and was terminated in June 2026. We did not draw on the Uncommitted Facility in 2026. Average outstanding borrowings for the periods presented reflect usage of the Uncommitted Facility until its termination in June 2026.

Investment Activity
As of September 30, 2026, we had a carrying value of $966.4 million in Investments, primarily related to Investment Management co-investments and investments in early-to-mid-stage proptech companies as well as proptech funds ("Proptech Investments"). For the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, funding of investments exceeded return of capital by $75.5 million and $106.2 million, respectively, with the 2025 amount primarily driven by our $100.0 million investment in JLL IPT. We have maximum potential unfunded commitments to direct investments or investment vehicles of $234.7 million and $5.3 million as of September 30, 2026, for our Investment Management business and Proptech Investments, respectively.
See Note 6, Investments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our investment activity.
Capital Expenditures
Net capital additions for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 were $168.6 million and $138.4 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures in 2026 were primarily for technology infrastructure and workspace optimization (including leasehold improvements).
Business Acquisitions
The following table details cash payments relating to acquisitions. Payments for current-year acquisitions are within cash used in investing activities, while payments for prior-year acquisitions are primarily within cash used in financing activities.

| Total paid for business acquisitions | $ | 42.0 | 22.4 | |||||
(1) Amount is net of a $0.5 million cash refund received from the seller and excludes the impact of $1.3 million of cash acquired.
Terms for many of our past acquisitions have typically included cash paid at closing with provisions for additional deferred consideration and earn-out payments subject to certain contract requirements, including the passage of time and performance, respectively. Deferred business acquisition obligations totaled $4.9 million as of September 30, 2026. These obligations represent the current discounted values of payments due to sellers of businesses for which our acquisition had been completed as of the balance sheet date and for which the only remaining condition on those payments is the passage of time. As of September 30, 2026, we had the potential to make earn-out payments for a maximum of $62.0 million on 9 completed acquisitions subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions. Refer to Note 5, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on Business Acquisitions.
We will continue to consider acquisitions that we believe will strengthen our market position, increase our profitability and supplement our organic growth.
Share Repurchase and Dividend Programs
In February 2026, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $2.2 billion for the repurchase of our common stock, augmenting the $801.7 million remaining repurchases available under prior authorizations as of December 31, 2025. We may repurchase shares through open-market and privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase programs.

Repatriation of Foreign Earnings
Based on our historical experience and future business plans, we do not expect to repatriate our foreign-sourced earnings to the United States. We believe our policy of permanently investing earnings of foreign subsidiaries does not significantly impact our liquidity. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had total Cash and cash equivalents of $514.3 million and $599.1 million, respectively, of which approximately $411.7 million and $386.0 million, respectively, was held by foreign subsidiaries.

This report, including this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All such statements are qualified by this cautionary note, which is provided pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may also be included in our other public filings, press releases, our website, and oral and written presentations by management.
Statements in the future tense, and all statements accompanied by terms such as "believe," "will," "may," "could," "project," "expect," "estimate," "assume," "intend," "anticipate," "target," "plan" and variations thereof and similar terms, are intended to be forward-looking statements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
MARKET AND OTHER RISK FACTORS
Interest Rates
We assess interest rate sensitivity to estimate the potential effect of rising short-term interest rates on our variable-rate debt. If short-term interest rates were 50 basis points higher during 2026 on our variable-rate debt, our results would reflect an incremental $3.1 million of interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026.

For additional detail of the impact of foreign exchange rates on our results of operations, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein.
We enter into cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts to manage currency risks associated with net investments in foreign operations and intercompany loan balances, respectively. See Note 12, Foreign Currency Derivatives and Hedging, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our cross-currency swaps and forward contracts.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company's financial reports and to the other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are a defendant or plaintiff in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount. Many of these litigation matters are covered by insurance, including insurance provided through a captive insurance company, although they may nevertheless be subject to large deductibles and the amounts being claimed may exceed the available insurance. Although we cannot determine the ultimate liability for these matters based upon information currently available, we believe the ultimate resolution of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

You acknowledge that your employment with the Company in all capacities, including without limitation as an officer, fiduciary or other senior position with the Company, including but not limited to your role as Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle Technologies, membership on the Global Executive Board (the “GEB”), and any officer or director positions you hold with JLL Spark or any of its portfolio companies, will terminate at 5:00 p.m. (Chicago time) on April 1, 2027 (the “Separation Date”), irrespective of whether you timely execute and deliver, and do not revoke, this Agreement. You agree to take any required actions and to execute any additional documents as the Company determines to be necessary or advisable to effect any of the foregoing. (b) Final Base Salary. You will continue to receive your current annualized base salary of $650,000, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll procedures, through the Separation Date, including for the period from January 1, 2027, through April 1, 2027 (approximately $162,500). (c) 2026 AIP Bonus Payment. You will receive the AIP bonus with a target of $2,360,000 in March 2027 even if the Company moves the payout date after April 1, 2027 2. Severance Pay and Benefits. (a) Provided you execute and do not revoke this Agreement, and subject to Section 7 below, the Company will provide you with the following separation payments and benefits, less applicable withholding taxes and deductions: (i) Severance in an amount equal to fifty-four (54) weeks of your current base salary, or $675,000; (ii) A pro-rated Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) payment for your service in the year of termination in the gross amount of $590,000; and (iii) An additional payment equal to one times (1x) your target AIP, or $2,360,000. The payments described in this Section 2(a) total approximately $3,625,000 in the aggregate, subject to final calculation as of the Separation Date. (b) Equity Awards. Your outstanding equity awards granted under the Company’s Stock Award and Incentive Plan, including restricted stock units and performance share units granted under the GEB Long Term Exhibit 10.1
Incentive Compensation Plan (the “GEB LTIP”), will be treated in accordance with the terms of the applicable award agreements and the Company's severance plan in effect as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, which currently provides for pro-rated vesting of outstanding awards based on your service through the Termination Date, as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. Any portion of an award that does not vest in accordance with this Section 2(b) shall be forfeited automatically and without consideration as of the Separation Date.

Through and for twelve (12) months after the Separation Date, you shall not yourself, and shall not direct any other person to, either on your own account or on behalf of or with any other person, firm or business entity, do any of the following: (1) use trade secret information to solicit or induce any employees or independent contractors of the Company (including any individual who was an employee or independent contractor of the Company during the six (6) months preceding the Separation Date) to leave the employ or service of the Company; or (2) use trade secret information to solicit or induce any clients that have existing or contracted transactions or assignments with the Company as of the Separation Date to discontinue or reduce (x) their transactions or assignments with the Company or (y) their consideration of the Company for pending transactions or assignments.

You agree that you will promptly disclose to the Company any invention or idea contemplated above, and upon request, you will execute a specific assignment of title to the Company and do anything else reasonably necessary to enable the Company at its expense to secure a patent therefor in the United States and in foreign countries. (c) Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure of Company Information. You acknowledge and agree that all non-public confidential information concerning the Company, its clients and/or employees that was or will be acquired by or disclosed to you during your employment, including, without limitation, information on the Company's clients and pricing, business practices and models, business strategies, marketing plans and strategies, compensation structures and the compensation and performance evaluations of the Company's employees, was or will be acquired or disclosed in strict confidence. You shall keep all such information secret and confidential indefinitely and shall not disclose such information, directly or indirectly, to any other person, firm or business entity or use it in any way. However, the parties agree that you may disclose confidential information (i) to the extent necessary to comply with any law, court order or subpoena; (ii) in connection with any discovery request to which a response is required by law; (iii) in a confidential manner either to a federal, state or local government agency or official or to an attorney where such disclosure is solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, (iv) in an anti- retaliation lawsuit or other legal proceeding, so long as that disclosure or filing is made under seal and you do not otherwise disclose such confidential information, except pursuant to court order, or (v) to the extent necessary to enforce your rights hereunder.

You further acknowledge that you will be reasonably able to earn a living without violating the terms of this Section 4, and the restrictions outlined herein are a material inducement and condition to the Company's provision of the payments and benefits described in this Agreement. 5. Whistleblower Rights. You have the legal right to certain protections for cooperating with or reporting legal violations to various governmental entities. No provision in this Agreement is intended to prohibit you from exercising such rights, and you may do so without disclosure to the Company. The Company may not retaliate against you for any of these activities, and nothing in this Agreement would require you to waive any monetary award or other payment that you might become entitled to from any such governmental entity.
