JLL Reports Strong First-Quarter 2021 Results - Page 3
The continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "pandemic") contributed to lower consolidated RES revenue and fee revenue, compared with the prior-year quarter, as strong growth in Asia Pacific was more than offset by declines in Americas and EMEA. Notably, the consolidated RES revenue decreases in transaction-based service lines were less than the trailing three quarters, with encouraging economic indicators present in many geographies. Corporate Solutions continued to deliver stable fee revenue performance as strength in facilities management offset a decrease in Project & Development Services.
Net income attributable to common shareholders was $103.0 million, compared with $5.3 million last year, and Adjusted EBITDA was $190.1 million, compared with $95.6 million in 2020. Diluted earnings per share were $1.97, up from $0.10 in 2020; adjusted diluted earnings per share were $2.10, compared with $0.49 last year. Notable drivers of year-over-year growth include the following;
•A $12.0 million gain recognized on the sale of a business as part of a broader investment made in Roofstock, a marketplace for investing in the dynamic single-family rental sector. This strategic investment enables JLL to offer access to a sector that is increasingly in demand by investor clients. This gain on sale is excluded from adjusted measures.
•$34.7 million from valuation increases to JLL Technologies' investments, reflecting progress in the strategy to invest in early-stage proptech companies. Refer to the Americas segment highlights for additional detail.
•LaSalle's co-investment portfolio, which contributed $13.0 million of equity earnings in 2021 compared with equity losses of $40.3 million in 2020.
•An $8.1 million non-cash reduction to loan loss credit reserves recognized in Americas results, compared with a $30.6 million increase in reserves during the prior-year quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 13.2% in USD (13.4% in local currency), compared with 6.4% in 2020. The net margin expansion was primarily due to the year-over-year non-cash changes in loan loss credit reserves and LaSalle equity earnings discussed above. Remaining margin expansion was driven by JLL Technologies' investments as well as strong contributions from Asia Pacific, partially offset by a decline in EMEA. Refer to the segment performance highlights for additional detail.
Cash Flows and Balance Sheet:
Cash used in operating activities was $461.8 million for the first quarter of 2021, compared with $546.1 million used in the prior year. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to less incentive compensation paid in 2021, compared with 2020, partially offset by lower collections of trade receivables, reflecting higher revenue in 2019 compared with 2020.
Total net debt was $670.3 million as of March 31, 2021, representing an increase of $478.2 million from December 31, 2020, and a decrease of $843.2 million from March 31, 2020. The increase from year end reflected typical seasonality, driven by annual incentive compensation payments made in the first quarter. The decline from March 31, 2020, was driven by substantial cash collections in 2020 as well as lower incentive compensation payments this year, compared with the prior-year quarter.

The pandemic continued to negatively impact the Americas transaction-based service lines, although the decline in U.S. Leasing was notably less significant than recent quarters. Continued growth in industrial partially offset a decline in office leasing activity, however, U.S. office leasing again outperformed market gross absorption, which was down 45% according to JLL Research. Lower investment sales and debt placement activity drove the decline in Capital Markets revenue while the multifamily business continued to deliver stable revenue performance. Strong revenue and fee revenue growth in Property & Facility Management was attributable to new client wins and expansions of existing Corporate Solutions client relationships.
Equity earnings were entirely driven by valuation increases to JLL Technologies' investments, as discussed in the Consolidated Performance Highlights, a reflection of subsequent financing rounds at increased per-share values for certain investments. In the prior year, equity earnings were largely attributable to gains by consolidated variable interest entities in which the company held no equity interest, and therefore, these gains had no net impact to Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 20.3% in USD and local currency, compared with 13.2% in 2020. The equity earnings noted above and year-over-year change in loan loss credit reserves substantially drove the margin expansion. The residual nominal margin improvement reflected savings from cost mitigation efforts during the trailing twelve months which offset the impact of lower revenue.

EMEA’s revenue and fee revenue in 2021 continued to be influenced by the pandemic, particularly on a local currency basis, compared with the prior-year quarter which had not yet been meaningfully impacted. Transaction-based revenues were largely stable as significant growth in certain geographies, highlighted by Switzerland, was offset by geographies that experienced more restrictive lock-down measures, such as Germany and the UK. Lower activity in the fit-out business and significant prior-year project activity in MENA that did not recur this quarter primarily drove the decline in Project & Development Services. A decrease in fee revenue from the UK mobile engineering business impacted Property & Facility Management.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was negative 8.0% in USD (negative 8.4% in local currency), compared with negative 3.4% last year. The decline in revenue as well as a contract loss in the UK mobile engineering business contributed to the lower margin performance, more than offsetting savings resulting from cost mitigation efforts during the trailing twelve months.

Asia Pacific's double-digit fee revenue increase reflected an outstanding rebound in transaction-based revenue along with continued stability in Corporate Solutions. An increase in large-deal transactions, particularly in Singapore and Australia, drove revenue expansion in Capital Markets. Growth in Leasing was led by a pick-up in office volumes, especially in Greater China. Significant growth in Valuations Advisory, notably in Greater China and Australia, led Advisory, Consulting and Other.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 11.7% in USD (11.3% in local currency), compared with 5.3% in 2020. The significant margin expansion was attributable to growth in transaction-based revenue and savings resulting from cost mitigation efforts during the trailing twelve months.

Lower LaSalle advisory fees were largely attributable to pandemic-driven valuation declines in assets under management over the trailing twelve months. Transaction and Incentive fees reflected decreased acquisition/transaction activity in 2021.
Equity earnings in the current quarter were substantially driven by increases to the estimated fair value of underlying real estate investments within LaSalle's co-investment portfolio. In the prior year, equity losses were largely driven by the pandemic's impact on real estate prices which drove lower estimated fair values within the portfolio.
Adjusted EBITDA margin for the quarter, calculated on a fee-revenue basis, was 24.5% in USD (24.7% in local currency), compared with negative 24.8% last year. Margin improvement was attributable to the year-over-year change in equity earnings, partially offset by lower revenue.

JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
Financial Statement Notes
1. Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to develop budgets and forecasts, measure and reward performance against those budgets and forecasts, and enhance comparability to prior periods. These measures are believed to be useful to investors and other external stakeholders as supplemental measures of core operating performance and include the following:
(i)Fee revenue and Fee-based operating expenses,
(ii)Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders ("Adjusted EBITDA") and Adjusted EBITDA margin,
(iii)Adjusted net income attributable to common shareholders and Adjusted diluted earnings per share, and
(iv)Percentage changes against prior periods, presented on a local currency basis.
However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to measures determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Any measure that eliminates components of a company’s capital structure, cost of operations or investments, or other results has limitations as a performance measure. In light of these limitations, management also considers GAAP financial measures and does not rely solely on non-GAAP financial measures. Because the company's non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjustments to GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate non-GAAP Financial Measures
Gross Contract Costs represent certain costs associated with client-dedicated employees and third-party vendors and subcontractors and are indirectly reimbursed through the fees we receive. These costs are presented on a gross basis in Operating expenses with the equal amount of corresponding fees in Revenue before reimbursements. Consistent with the treatment of directly reimbursed expenses, excluding gross contract costs from both Fee revenue and Fee-based operating expenses more accurately reflects how the company manages its expense base and operating margins and also enables a more consistent performance assessment across a portfolio of contracts with varying payment terms and structures, including those with direct versus indirect reimbursement of such costs.
Net Non-Cash Mortgage Servicing Rights ("MSR") and Mortgage Banking Derivative Activity consists of the balances presented within Revenue composed of (i) derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment and warehousing activity and (ii) gains recognized from the retention of MSR upon origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by (iii) amortization of MSR intangible assets over the period that net servicing income is projected to be received. Non-cash derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment and warehousing activity are calculated as the estimated fair value of loan commitments and subsequent changes thereof, primarily represented by the estimated net cash flows associated with future servicing rights. MSR gains and corresponding MSR intangible assets are calculated as the present value of estimated cash flows over the estimated mortgage servicing periods. The above activity is reported entirely within Revenue of the Capital Markets service line of the Americas segment. Excluding net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity reflects how the company manages and evaluates performance because the excluded activity is non-cash in nature.
14
Restructuring and Acquisition Charges primarily consist of: (i) severance and employment-related charges, including those related to external service providers, incurred in conjunction with a structural business shift, which can be represented by a notable change in headcount, change in leadership or transformation of business processes; (ii) acquisition, transaction and integration-related charges, including fair value adjustments, which are generally non-cash in the periods such adjustments are made, to assets and liabilities recorded in purchase accounting such as earn-out liabilities and intangible assets; and (iii) lease exit charges. Such activity is excluded as the amounts are generally either non-cash in nature or the anticipated benefits from the expenditures would not likely be fully realized until future periods. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results and therefore not a line item in the segments’ reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA.
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangibles, primarily composed of the estimated fair value ascribed at closing of an acquisition to assets such as acquired management contracts, customer backlog and relationships, and trade name, is more notable following the company's increase in acquisition activity in recent years. Such non-cash activity is excluded as the change in period-over-period activity is generally the result of longer-term strategic decisions and therefore not necessarily indicative of core operating results.
Gain on Disposition reflects the gain recognized on the sale of a business within Americas. Given the low frequency of business disposals by the company historically, the gain directly associated with such activity is excluded as it is not considered indicative of core operating performance.

Operating Results - Local Currency
In discussing operating results, the company reports Adjusted EBITDA margins and refers to percentage changes in local currency, unless otherwise noted. Amounts presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of foreign operations to U.S. dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the comparative period. 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) fee revenue, (iii) operating income and (iv) Adjusted EBITDA.

LaSalle provides investment management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

3. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from the company's measure of segment operating results, although they are included within consolidated Operating income calculated in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of segment operating results, the allocation of restructuring and acquisition charges to the segments is not a component of management’s assessment of segment performance.
The table below shows restructuring and acquisition charges, including the portion related to the acquisition and integration of HFF (retention and severance expense, early lease termination costs, and other integration expenses).

5. As of March 31, 2021, LaSalle had $70.9 billion of real estate assets under management (AUM), composed of $36.3 billion invested in separate accounts, $30.0 billion invested in fund management vehicles and $4.6 billion invested in public securities. The geographic distribution of separate accounts and fund management investments was $22.2 billion in North America, $13.5 billion in the UK, $11.8 billion in Asia Pacific and $13.1 billion in continental Europe. The remaining $5.7 billion relates to Global Partner Solutions which is a global business line.
AUM increased 3% in USD (0% in local currency) from $68.9 billion as of December 31, 2021. The AUM increase resulted from (i) $1.9 billion of foreign currency increases, (ii) $1.1 billion of acquisitions, and (iii) $0.9 billion of net valuation increases, partially offset by $1.9 billion dispositions and withdrawals.
Assets under management data for separate accounts and fund management amounts are reported on a one-quarter lag. In addition, LaSalle raised $1.0 billion in private equity capital for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.
LaSalle's results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, included approximately $4 million of deferred compensation expense associated with the run-off of a previous compensation program.
6. EMEA: Europe, Middle East and Africa. MENA: Middle East and North Africa. Greater China: China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan.
7. n.m.: "not meaningful", represented by a percentage change of greater than 100%, favorably or unfavorably.
