JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED 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" or as "we," "us" or "our") for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in our 2016 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 Result of Operations and to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods. We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

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. Our LaSalle Investment Management ("LaSalle") segment generally earns investment-generated performance fees on clients' real estate investment returns and co-investment equity gains when assets are sold, the timing of which is geared toward the benefit of our clients. Within our Real Estate Services ("RES") segments, revenue from capital markets activities is driven by the size and timing of our clients' transactions and can fluctuate significantly from period to period.

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 is based on forecasted income by country and expected enacted tax rates. 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 June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not fully indicative of what our results will be for the full fiscal year.

Our Warehouse receivables are classified as held-for-sale as they represent originated mortgage loans for which we have executed commitments to sell to third-parties. Warehouse receivables have historically been carried at the lower of cost or fair value. Effective January 1, 2017, we elected the fair value option to measure and report new Warehouse receivables on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Increases or decreases in the fair value of these loans following origination are recognized in Revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Our Warehouse receivables balance as of June 30, 2017 did not include any loans reported within our December 31, 2016 balance as all warehoused loans were sold during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

2.	NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently adopted accounting guidance

Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which was intended to simplify several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. One primary effect of adoption was our election to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate forfeitures in our determination of periodic compensation cost; we adopted this portion of the standard on a modified retrospective basis. The second primary effect of adoption was the recognition of excess tax benefits in our provision for income taxes, rather than Additional paid-in capital, which also results in reclassification of cash flows related to excess tax benefits from a financing activity to an operating activity on the statement of cash flows for periods beginning January 1, 2017; we adopted this portion of the standard on a prospective basis with the effect of adoption reflected for the interim periods beginning this year.

As a result of the adoption, we recorded a $1.3 million cumulative-effect decrease to beginning retained earnings to recognize the impact of share-based compensation expense previously estimated to be forfeited; there was no material impact to our provision for income taxes in the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Recently issued accounting guidance, not yet adopted

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Post-retirement Benefit Cost (Topic 715), which amends the requirements for presentation of service costs and other components of net benefit costs on the Income Statement. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The annual goodwill impairment test will require companies to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and recognize an impairment charge when the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit. This ASU is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which addresses appropriate presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments within the statement of cash flows under Topic 230. Specifically, this ASU provides clarification guidance on eight cash flow issues intended to improve comparability across financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We do not believe this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which creates a new framework to evaluate financial instruments, such as trade receivables, for expected credit losses. This new framework replaces the existing incurred loss approach and is expected to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. ASU No. 2016-13 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and early adoption is not permitted until years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and together with ASU No. 2014-09 (collectively the "ASUs"), as discussed below, amends and comprises Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. These ASUs, and other related ASUs, will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") when effective. The final standard is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016.

Table of Contents

We plan to apply the full retrospective approach to adopt ASC Topic 606. Based upon analyses performed to the date of this report, we anticipate ASC 606 will result in an acceleration of the timing of revenue recognition for certain transaction commissions and advisory fees that include variable consideration or other aspects, such as contingencies, that preclude revenue recognition contemporaneous with the satisfaction of our performance obligations within the existing revenue recognition framework. Additionally, we anticipate implementation of the updated principal versus agent considerations in ASC Topic 606 will result in a significant increase to the proportion of our property and facility management contracts accounted for on a gross basis. While our analysis is still ongoing, this expected increase is based on a change in principal versus agent evaluation criteria. Specifically, ASC Topic 606 focuses on the concept of control and the identification of the party to a contract that retains performance risk. Under the existing model, principal versus agent evaluations do not specifically consider the concept of control, but rather contemplate both performance and payment risk. Finally, we expect our disclosures related to revenue from contracts to notably expand as a result of the adoption of ASC Topic 606.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which increases transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet as well as requiring the disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We anticipate the adoption of this ASU will result in an increase to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet to reflect right-of-use assets and lease liabilities primarily associated with our office leases around the world, but have not yet quantified the impact. We continue to evaluate any other effect the guidance will have on our financial statements and related disclosures.

3.	BUSINESS SEGMENTS

We manage and report our operations as four business segments:

The three geographic regions of RES including:

(1) Americas,

(2) Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), and

(3) Asia Pacific;

and

(4) LaSalle, which offers investment management services on a global basis.

Each geographic region offers our full range of real estate services, including agency leasing and tenant representation, capital markets and hotels, property management, facilities management, project and development management, energy management and sustainability, construction management, and advisory, consulting and valuation services. We define "property management" to mean services we provide to non-occupying property investors and "facilities management" to represent services we provide to owner-occupiers. LaSalle provides investment management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

Operating income represents total revenue less direct and allocated indirect expenses. 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 global overhead, which we allocate to the business segments based on the budgeted operating expenses of each segment.

For segment reporting, (a) gross contract costs and (b) net non-cash mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") and mortgage banking derivative activity are both excluded from revenue in determining "fee revenue". Gross contract costs are excluded from operating expenses in determining "fee-based operating expenses." Excluding these costs from revenue and expenses results in a net presentation which we believe more accurately reflects how we manage our expense base, operating margins, and performance. In addition, our measure of segment results excludes Restructuring and acquisition charges.

We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current presentation. Specifically during the first quarter of 2017, we revised our methodology for allocating overhead expenses and certain costs associated with our facilities management platform in EMEA to our reporting segments. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications have not been material and have not affected reported net income or consolidated results.

The Chief Operating Decision Maker of JLL measures and evaluates the segment results excluding (a) gross contract costs, (b) Net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity, and (c) Restructuring and acquisition charges. As of June 30, 2017, we define the Chief Operating Decision Maker collectively as our Global Executive Board, which is comprised of the following:


•	Global Chief Executive Officer


•	Global Chief Financial Officer


•	Chief Executive Officers of each of our four business segments


•	Global Chief Executive Officer of Corporate Solutions


•	Global Head of Capital Markets


•	Global Chief Human Resources Officer

4.	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS, GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

2017 Business Combinations Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we completed four new strategic acquisitions, as presented in the table below. These acquisitions reflect continued efforts to grow scale in key regional markets across various business lines.



Acquired Company	Quarter of Acquisition	Country	Primary Service Line
Maloney Field Services	Q1	Australia	Capital Markets & Hotels
Meridian Immobilier SA	Q1	Switzerland	Leasing
Urbis Partners, LLC	Q1	United States	Leasing
Zabel Property AG	Q1	Germany	Capital Markets & Hotels

Aggregate terms of these acquisitions included: (1) cash paid at closing of $22.2 million (exclusive of $5.6 million in cash acquired), (2) guaranteed deferred consideration of $1.8 million subject only to the passage of time, and (3) contingent earn-out consideration of $10.7 million, which we will pay upon satisfaction of certain performance conditions and which we have initially recorded at their respective acquisition date fair value.

A preliminary allocation of purchase consideration resulted in goodwill of $24.0 million, identifiable intangibles of $9.5 million, and other net assets (acquired assets less assumed liabilities) of $1.2 million. As of June 30, 2017, 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 our 2017 acquisitions during their open measurement periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid $23.2 million for deferred business acquisition and earn-out obligations for acquisitions completed in prior years. We also paid $2.4 million to acquire a portion of the redeemable noncontrolling interest related to our 2014 acquisition of Tenzing AB, a Swedish real estate services provider.

2016 Business Combination Activity

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we made adjustments to our preliminary allocation of the purchase consideration for certain acquisitions completed in 2016. These adjustments resulted in a $5.2 million increase to goodwill, which included a $3.2 million net working capital adjustment payment for a 2016 acquisition, and a $0.4 million reduction to identifiable intangibles. As of June 30, 2017, we have not completed our analysis to assign fair values to all the identifiable intangible and tangible assets acquired and, therefore, we may further refine the purchase price allocations for our 2016 acquisitions with open measurement periods.

Earn-Out Payments

As of June 30, 2017, we had the potential to make a maximum of $436.0 million (undiscounted) in earn-out payments on 55 completed acquisitions, subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria. We accrued $225.6 million, representing the fair value of these obligations as of June 30, 2017, which is included in Short-term earn-out liabilities and Long-term earn-out liabilities within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Assuming the achievement of the applicable performance criteria, we anticipate making these earn-out payments over the next six years.

As of December 31, 2016, we had the potential to make a maximum of $435.0 million (undiscounted) in earn-out payments on 52 completed acquisitions, subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria. We accrued $229.6 million, representing the fair value of these obligations as of December 31, 2016. 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

Significant 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. The tables below detail the foreign exchange impact on our goodwill and intangible balances. Goodwill and unamortized intangibles of $2,970.9 million as of June 30, 2017 consisted of: (1) goodwill of $2,668.9 million, (2) identifiable intangibles of $293.2 million amortized over their remaining finite useful lives, and (3) $8.8 million of identifiable intangibles with indefinite useful lives that are not amortized.

5.	INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE VENTURES

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had Investments in real estate ventures of $364.2 million and $355.4 million, respectively.

Approximately two-thirds of our investments are in 49 separate property or commingled funds, where we co-invest alongside our clients and for which we also have an advisory agreement. Our investment ownership percentages in these funds generally range from less than 1% to 10%. The remaining one-third of our Investments in real estate ventures, as of June 30, 2017, were attributable to investment vehicles that use our capital and outside capital primarily provided by institutional investors to invest in certain real estate ventures that own and operate real estate. Of our investments attributable to investment vehicles, the majority was invested in LaSalle Investment Company II ("LIC II"), in which we held an effective ownership interest of 48.78%.

We have maximum potential unfunded commitments to direct investments or investment vehicles of $215.3 million as of June 30, 2017, of which $68.0 million relates to our commitment to LIC II.

Table of Contents

We evaluate our less-than-wholly-owned investments to determine whether the underlying entities are classified as variable interest entities ("VIEs"); we assess each identified VIE to determine whether we are the primary beneficiary. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of certain VIEs and accordingly, we have consolidated such entities. The assets of the consolidated VIEs are available only for the settlement of the obligations of the respective entities and the mortgage loans of the consolidated VIEs are non-recourse to JLL.

Summarized financial information for our consolidated VIEs is presented in the following tables.

We allocate the members' equity and net income of the consolidated VIEs to the noncontrolling interest holders as Noncontrolling interest on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, respectively.

Impairment

There were no significant other-than-temporary impairment charges on Investments in real estate ventures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Fair Value

We report a majority of our investments in real estate ventures 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings from real estate ventures. The table below shows the movement in our investments in real estate ventures reported at fair value.

7.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC 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.

We had no transfers among levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. Our policy is to recognize transfers at the end of quarterly reporting periods.

Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments include Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, Warehouse receivables, restricted cash, Accounts payable, Short-term borrowings, Warehouse facility, Credit facility, Long-term debt and foreign currency exchange contracts. The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, restricted cash, Accounts payable, and the Warehouse facility approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying values of our Credit facility 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 as $689.4 million and $284.9 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, using dealer quotes that are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The carrying value of our Long-term debt was $669.5 million and $272.7 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and included debt issuance costs of $4.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Investments in Real Estate Ventures at Fair Value - Net Asset Value ("NAV")

Of our investments reported at fair value, we generally 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 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 (1) our understanding of the methodology utilized and inputs incorporated to estimate NAV at the investee level derived through LaSalle's role as advisor or manager of these ventures, (2) consideration of market demand for the specific types of real estate assets held by each venture, and (3) contemplation of real estate and capital markets conditions in the localities in which these ventures operate. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, investments in real estate ventures at fair value using NAV were $181.4 million and $169.0 million, respectively. As these investments are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy, they have been excluded from the following table.

Table of Contents

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 in Real Estate Ventures

We classify one investment as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as quoted prices are readily available. We increase or decrease our investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value of the investment. We report these fair value adjustments in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings from real estate ventures.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

We regularly use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our currency exchange rate risk related to intercompany lending and cash management practices. These contracts are on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as current assets and current liabilities. We determine the fair values of these contracts based on current market rates. The inputs for these valuations are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, these contracts had a gross notional value of $1.80 billion ($1.29 billion on a net basis) and $1.90 billion ($1.39 billion on a net basis), respectively.

The revaluations of foreign currency forward contracts resulted in a net gain of $5.9 million and a net loss of $5.0 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We recognize gains and losses from revaluation of these contracts as a component of Operating, administrative and other expense. They are offset by the gains and losses we recognize on the revaluation of intercompany loans and other foreign currency balances. The impact to net income was not significant for either of the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016.

We record the asset and liability positions for our foreign currency forward contracts based on the net payable or net receivable position with the financial institutions from which we purchase these contracts. The $13.8 million asset as of June 30, 2017, was composed of gross contracts with receivable positions of $15.2 million and payable positions of $1.4 million. The $7.9 million liability as of June 30, 2017, was composed of gross contracts with receivable positions of $0.8 million and payable positions of $8.7 million. As of December 31, 2016, the $8.7 million asset was composed of gross contracts with receivable positions of $8.9 million and payable positions of $0.2 million. The $22.9 million liability as of December 31, 2016, was composed of gross contracts with receivable positions of $1.3 million and payable positions of $24.2 million.

Table of Contents

Warehouse Receivables

The fair value of the Warehouse receivables is based on already locked-in security-buy prices. See Note 1, Interim Information, for additional discussion on our election of the fair value option for Warehouse receivables. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of our Warehouse receivables included in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet 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 Plan

We maintain a deferred compensation plan for certain of our U.S. employees that allows them to defer portions of their compensation. We invest directly in insurance contracts which yield returns to fund these deferred compensation obligations. We recognize an asset for the amount that could be realized under these insurance contracts as of the balance sheet date, and we adjust the deferred compensation obligation to reflect the changes in the fair value of the amount owed to the employees. The inputs for this valuation are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. We recorded this plan on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2017, as Deferred compensation plan assets of $208.0 million, long-term deferred compensation plan liabilities of $200.3 million, included in Deferred compensation, and as a reduction of equity, Shares held in trust, of $6.2 million. We recorded this plan on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2016, as Deferred compensation plan assets of $173.0 million, long-term deferred compensation plan liabilities of $169.5 million, included in Deferred compensation, and as a reduction of equity, Shares held in trust, of $6.0 million.

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. We base the fair value of our Earn-out liabilities on the present value of probability-weighted future cash flows related to the earn-out performance criteria on each reporting date. We determine the probability of achievement we assign to the performance criteria based on the due diligence we performed at the time of acquisition as well as actual performance achieved subsequent to acquisition. An increase to the probability of achievement would result in a higher fair value measurement. See Note 4, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Intangibles, for additional discussion of our Earn-out liabilities.

Mortgage Banking Derivatives

The fair value of our rate lock commitments to prospective borrowers and the related inputs primarily include, as applicable, the expected net cash flows associated with servicing the loan and the effects of interest rate movements between the date of the interest rate lock commitment ("IRLC") and the balance sheet date based on applicable published U.S. Treasury prices.

The fair value of our forward sales contracts to prospective investors considers the market price movement of a similar security between the trade date and the balance sheet date. The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value.

Both the rate lock commitments to prospective borrowers and the forward sale contracts to prospective investors are undesignated derivatives and considered Level 3 valuations due to significant unobservable inputs related to counterparty credit risk. An increase in counterparty credit risk assumptions would result in a lower fair value measurement. The fair valuation is determined using discounted cash flow techniques, and the derivatives are marked to fair value through Revenue in the Condensed Consolidated Statements on Comprehensive Income.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

We review our investments in real estate ventures, 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 either of the three or six months ended June 30, 2017 or 2016. See Note 5, Investments in Real Estate Ventures, for additional information, including information related to impairment charges recorded at the investee level.

Credit Facility

We have a $2.75 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that matures on June 21, 2021. In addition to outstanding borrowings under the Facility presented in the above table, we had outstanding letters of credit under the Facility of $11.9 million and $18.2 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The average outstanding borrowings under the Facility were $1,302.8 million and $941.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1,210.6 million and $747.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The pricing on the Facility ranges from LIBOR plus 0.95% to 2.05%, with pricing as of June 30, 2017, at LIBOR plus 1.25%. The effective interest rates on our Facility were 2.0% and 1.5% during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and 1.9% and 1.5% during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We will continue to use the Facility for, but not limited to, business acquisitions, working capital needs (including payment of accrued incentive compensation), co-investment activities, dividend payments, share repurchases and capital expenditures.

Short-Term Borrowings and Long-Term Debt

In addition to our Facility, we have the capacity to borrow up to an additional $95.3 million under local overdraft facilities. Amounts outstanding are presented in the debt table presented above.

On June 29, 2017, we issued and sold an aggregate principal amount of €350.0 million of senior unsecured notes ("Euro Notes") as a private placement to certain institutional investors in an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The fixed-rate Euro Notes have 10-year and 12-year maturities as reported in the table above. The proceeds, net of debt issuance costs, were $393.2 million, using June 29, 2017 exchange rates, and were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on our Facility.

The Euro Notes are unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future unsubordinated indebtedness, including our guarantee under the Facility.

As of July 31, 2017, our issuer and senior unsecured ratings are investment grade: BBB (stable outlook) from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services and Baa2 (positive outlook) from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.

Covenants

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 June 30, 2017.

¹ JLL entered into an additional temporary agreement from April 17, 2017 through July 14, 2017 that increased the maximum capacity to $525.0 million. Once this temporary agreement expires, the maximum capacity will revert to $275.0 million.

²In the second quarter of 2017, JLL negotiated a change to the interest rate on the Warehouse facility; the facility previously had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.4%. In addition, JLL entered into a temporary agreement that increased the maximum capacity to $500.0 million from June 29, 2017 through July 30, 2017, and to $1.3 billion from July 31, 2017 through September 11, 2017. Once the temporary agreement expires, the maximum capacity will revert to $250.0 million.

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 warehouse facilities, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants regarding (1) minimum net worth, (2) minimum servicing-related loans, and (3) minimum adjusted leverage ratios. We remained in compliance with all covenants under our Warehouse facilities as of June 30, 2017.

As a supplement to our lines of credit, we have an uncommitted facility with Fannie Mae under its As Soon As Pooled ("ASAP") funding program. After origination, we sell certain warehouse receivables to Fannie Mae; the proceeds are used to repay the original lines of credit used to fund the loan. The ASAP funding program requires us to repurchase these loans, generally within 45 days, followed by an immediate sale back to Fannie Mae. The difference between the price paid upon the original sale to Fannie Mae and the ultimate sale reflects a discount representative of borrowing costs.

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. Many of these litigation matters are covered by insurance (including insurance provided through a consolidated captive insurance company as further discussed below), but 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.

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 $2.5 million per claim, inclusive of the deductible. 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 current and long-term liabilities on our Condensed 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. In total, these receivables were $2.4 million and $1.3 million as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, and are included in Notes and other receivables and Long-term receivables on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table shows the professional indemnity accrual activity and related payments.



(in millions)
December 31, 2016	$	7.3
New claims	0.2
Prior year claims adjustments	1.7
Claims paid	(2.3		)

June 30, 2016	$	17.8

As a lender in the Fannie Mae Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") program, we retain a portion of the risk of loss for loans we originate and sell under the DUS program. The net loss on defaulted loans are shared with Fannie Mae based upon established loss-sharing ratios. Generally, our share of losses is capped at 20% of the principal balance of the mortgage at origination. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had loans, funded and sold, subject to such loss-sharing arrangements with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $6.7 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively.

For all DUS program loans with loss-sharing obligations, we record a loan loss accrual 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 accrual is amortized over the life of the loan and recorded as an increase in Revenue on the Statements of Comprehensive Income. At least semi-annually, we perform an analysis of the servicing portfolio with loss-sharing obligations to determine estimated probable losses. If estimated probable losses exceed the existing unamortized guarantee obligation, we record an expense to increase the loan loss accrual for this difference. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, loan loss accruals were $13.9 million and $12.2 million, respectively, and are included in Other liabilities on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

10.	RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION CHARGES

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized Restructuring and acquisition charges of $5.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized Restructuring and acquisition charges of $10.3 million and $17.9 million, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized $0.7 million related to net increases and $2.1 million related to net decreases to earn-out liabilities that arose from prior period acquisition activity, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $0.2 million related to net increases to earn-out liabilities that arose from prior period acquisition activity. Additionally, there was a $2.3 million gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, included in Restructuring and acquisition charges for a foreign currency derivative relating to an acquisition payment.

In all periods, the remaining charges primarily consist of (1) 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, (2) lease exit charges, and (3) other acquisition and integration-related charges. The following tables show the restructuring and acquisition accrual activity and related payments, which are exclusive of the adjustments individually noted above.

June 30, 2016	$	10.2		5.3		1.3		16.8

We expect the majority of accrued severance and other accrued acquisition costs as of June 30, 2017 will be paid during the next twelve months. Lease exit payments depend on the terms of various leases, which extend as far out as 2022.


11.	NONCONTROLLING INTEREST

We reflect changes in amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity. We present changes in amounts attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests in the following table.

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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in our 2016 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 2016 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 2016 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 (1) the stated amount of assets and liabilities, (2) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and (3) 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 Condensed 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, 2016. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

The following are the critical accounting policies and estimates discussed 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, 2016:


•	Revenue Recognition;


•	Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets;


•	Investments in Real Estate Ventures; and


•	Income Taxes.

In addition to the aforementioned critical accounting policies, we believe the calculation of our quarterly tax provision is critical to understanding the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.

Table of Contents

Quarterly Income Tax Provision

We base our fiscal year estimated effective tax rate on estimates we update each quarter. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and our forecasted effective tax rate for 2017 is 24.4%. 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. We evaluate our estimated effective tax rate on a quarterly basis to reflect forecast changes in our geographic mix of income and legislative actions on statutory tax rates and other relevant matters effective in the quarter in which the legislation is enacted.

The geographic mix of our income can significantly impact our effective tax rate. Very low tax rate jurisdictions (those with effective national and local combined tax rates of 25% or lower) that provide the most significant contributions to our effective tax rate include: Hong Kong (16.5%), Singapore (17%), the United Kingdom (19.25%), and the Netherlands (25%). We do not project any other jurisdictions with effective rates of 25% or lower to materially impact our 2017 global effective tax rate.

On March 29, 2017, the UK formally notified the European Union (“EU”) of its intent to withdraw from the EU pursuant to Article 50 of the Treaty of Lisbon. We believe this notification is not itself a change in tax law requiring any changes in the computation of income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We have subsidiary operations in the UK and we are presently studying the potential changes in tax expense provision requirements that may be necessary upon the UK’s ultimate exit from the EU, particularly with respect to all types of cross-border payments. Because these consequences will be based, in part, upon potential substitute treaties that may enter into force before or concurrent with that exit occurring, the impact of the UK’s exit from the EU, while potentially significant, is uncertain at this time.

ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY

Macroeconomic Conditions

Our results of operations and the variability of these results are significantly influenced by (1) macroeconomic trends, (2) the geopolitical environment, (3) the global and regional real estate markets, and (4) 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.

Acquisitions

The timing of acquisitions may impact the comparability of our results on a year-over-year basis. Our results include incremental revenues and expenses from the completion date of an acquisition. In addition, there is generally an initial adverse impact on net income from an acquisition as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence expenditures and post-acquisition integration costs, such as fees from third-party advisors engaged to assist with onboarding and process alignment.

LaSalle Revenue

Our investment management business is, in part, compensated through incentive fees where performance of underlying funds' investments exceeds agreed-to benchmark levels. Depending upon performance, disposition activity, and the contractual timing of measurement periods with clients, these fees can be significant and vary substantially from period to period.

Equity earnings from real estate ventures also may vary substantially from period to period for a variety of reasons, including as a result of: (1) gains (losses) on investments reported at fair value, (2) gains (losses) on asset dispositions, and (3) impairment charges. The timing of recognition of these items may impact comparability between quarters, in any one year, or compared to a prior year.

The comparability of these items can be seen in Note 3, Business Segments, of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and is discussed further in Segment Operating Results included herein.

Table of Contents

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.

Transactional-Based Revenue

Transactional-based fees, that are impacted by the size and timing of our clients' transactions, from real estate investment banking, capital markets activities and other services within our RES businesses, and LaSalle, increase the variability of the revenue we earn. The timing and the magnitude of these fees can vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter, and from region to region.

Seasonality

Historically, our quarterly revenue and profits have tended to increase from quarter to quarter as the year progresses. 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. Historically, we have reported a relatively smaller profit in the first quarter and then increasingly larger profits during each of the following three quarters, excluding the recognition of investment-generated performance fees and realized and unrealized co-investment equity earnings and losses (each of which can be unpredictable). We generally recognize such performance fees and realized co-investment equity earnings or losses when assets are sold, the timing of which is geared toward the benefit of our clients. 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 June 30, 2017 and 2016, are not fully indicative of the results we expect to realize for the full fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We define market volumes for Leasing as gross absorption of office real estate space in square feet for the U.S., Europe and selected markets in Asia Pacific. We define market volumes for Capital Markets as the U.S. dollar equivalent value of investment sales transactions globally.

Reclassifications

We have reclassified certain prior year amounts to conform to the current presentation. Specifically during 2017, we revised our methodology for allocating overhead expenses and certain costs associated with our facilities management platform in EMEA to our reporting segments. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Reclassifications have not been material and have not affected reported net income or consolidated results.
