Jones Lang LaSalle Reports Record Earnings; 2006 Net Income of $176 Million, $5.24 Per Share

CHICAGO, Jan. 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (NYSE: JLL) , the leading integrated global real estate services and money management firm, today reported record net income of $176 million, or $5.24 per diluted share of common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2006. This represents an increase of 70 percent over the prior year's net income of $104 million, or $3.12 per diluted share. Revenue for the full year 2006 reached $2.0 billion, an increase of 45 percent in U.S. dollars and 43 percent in local currencies from the prior year, and the product of strong growth in all operating segments. Operating income for 2006 was $244 million compared with $132 million for the prior year, an increase of 85 percent. Included in the firm's 2006 full-year results was an incentive fee from a single client of $112.5 million, or $1.01 per share, at a 41 percent operating income margin. The fourth-quarter strengthening of the pound sterling and euro also contributed approximately $0.16 per share for the year.

For the fourth quarter of 2006, net income was $81 million, or $2.37 per diluted share, compared with net income of $67 million, or $1.99 per diluted share, for the same period in 2005. Revenue for the fourth quarter of 2006 was $704 million, an increase of 41 percent in U.S. dollars and 35 percent in local currencies from 2005, with all segments showing healthy increases. Operating income for the fourth quarter increased 33 percent to $114 million from $86 million in the prior year.

  Full Year 2006 Highlights:

  -- Revenue increased 45 percent to $2 billion with growth in all business
     segments
  -- Operating income grew 85 percent led by LaSalle Investment Management
     and EMEA
  -- Net income increased 70 percent to $176 million


"We are extremely pleased with our record 2006 performance," said Colin Dyer, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. "Such significant increases in revenue and net income show that our strategic growth investments are paying returns across our business platform. We are also very proud that Jones Lang LaSalle has been named to Fortune's '100 Best Companies to Work For' and, for the second year in a row, to the Forbes '400 Best Big Companies.' We are the only real estate money management and services firm to earn either distinction. Looking ahead, with continued healthy conditions in the world's major economies, improving real estate fundamentals worldwide and consistently strong capital allocations to real estate, we remain confident about our firm's prospects for 2007," Dyer added.

Operating expenses were $1.77 billion in 2006, an increase of approximately 40 percent in both U.S. dollars and local currencies from the prior year and $1.26 billion in 2005. Operating expenses were $591 million for the fourth quarter of 2006 compared with $413 million for the same period in 2005, an increase of 43 percent in U.S. dollars and 36 percent in local currencies. The increase in operating expenses was driven by significant additions in global Capital Markets and Leasing broker teams, additional client-service staff, and by the expansion of offices to support the global business platform. Also contributing to the increase were five strategic acquisitions including Spaulding and Slye in the Americas, which closed in January 2006. Higher incentive compensation costs related to the strong revenue and profit performance also contributed to the increase.

Interest expense of $14.3 million for the 2006 full year was higher than the $4.0 million for 2005 due to higher debt balances throughout the year compared with 2005. The higher debt balances during the year resulted from acquisition spending totaling $192 million, share repurchases of $65 million, including $35 million in the fourth quarter, and net co-investment funding of $44 million in connection with growth in the firm's investment management business. Despite these significant cash uses, the firm had no net debt at year end.

  Business Segment Full Year and Fourth Quarter Performance Highlights

  Investor and Occupier Services

  -- The Americas region continued its momentum through the end of the year.
     Revenue for the full year 2006 was $625 million, an increase of
     44 percent over the prior year, and fourth-quarter revenue was
     $227 million, an increase of 38 percent. Compared with 2005,
     Transaction Services revenue increased 57 percent for the full year and
     45 percent for the quarter while Management Services grew 31 percent
     for the year and 27 percent for the quarter.

     The current year's strong performance benefited from growth in both the
     Markets group, whose focus is to maximize the firm's competitive
     position in key local markets, and the Accounts organization, whose
     focus is on delivering services and strategic advice to corporate
     clients. Revenue in the Markets and Accounts groups increased by a
     combined 47 percent for the full year compared with the prior year. The
     Spaulding and Slye acquisition had a significant impact on
     year-over-year revenue growth in both Markets and Accounts. Strong
     performance in Capital Markets also contributed to the annual
     year-over-year revenue growth with a 74 percent increase over the
     previous year. Revenue in the firm's Americas Hotels business was up
     46 percent in 2006 compared with the prior year as a result of the
     business' strong position in a healthy industry environment.

     Total operating expenses increased 45 percent for the full year and
     43 percent for the quarter compared with 2005. The increase in
     operating expenses resulted from significant additions to the local
     market teams and from the Spaulding and Slye acquisition. In addition,
     incentive compensation expenses increased as a result of the growth in
     both revenue-generating activities and profit performance.

  -- EMEA's full-year revenue grew 38 and 34 percent in U.S. dollars and
     local currencies, respectively, to $679 million, and fourth-quarter
     revenue increased 53 percent in U.S. dollars and 39 percent in local
     currencies to $270 million. Transaction Services revenue grew
     44 percent for the full year to $557 million, and 54 percent for the
     quarter, while Management Services revenue grew 19 percent for the year
     to $114 million, and 67 percent for the quarter. Year-over-year annual
     revenue growth in the region was driven by strong performance in
     Capital Markets, which was up 70 percent for the year driven by
     increased market share and strong underlying market conditions, and by
     Agency Leasing, which grew 26 percent. Four strategic acquisitions were
     completed in the region in 2006 and six new offices were opened which,
     together with hiring, resulted in approximately 350 revenue-generators
     being added in the year.

     Geographically, the region's robust full-year growth was driven
     primarily by France and Germany. Revenue in France grew 83 percent in
     U.S. dollars for the full year and 60 percent for the fourth quarter
     compared with the prior year, while Germany had an increase of
     58 percent for the full year and 45 percent for the quarter. Russia
     continued its strong growth with full year revenue doubling compared
     with the prior year while very favorable trends continued in Central
     and Eastern Europe and Spain. The EMEA Hotels business also had solid
     growth with annual revenues up almost 30 percent compared with the
     prior year.

     Operating expenses increased by 36 percent in U.S. dollars and
     32 percent in local currencies on a full-year basis and by 56 percent
     in U.S. dollars and 43 percent in local currencies for the quarter. The
     increase was primarily due to acquisitions, staff additions to service
     clients and grow market share, and increased incentive compensation
     driven by improved revenue and profit performance.

  -- Revenue for the Asia Pacific region on a full-year basis was
     $337 million, an increase of 24 percent in both U.S. dollars and local
     currencies, and $124 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of
     35 percent in U.S. dollars and 31 percent in local currencies from the
     prior year. Growth for the full year and fourth quarter in U.S. dollars
     resulted from both Transaction Services revenue, which increased 22 and
     32 percent, respectively, and Management Services revenue, which
     increased 20 and 38 percent, respectively.

     Geographically, the strongest profit contributions were from the
     region's largest market, Australia, and from the growth markets of
     China and Korea. Revenue in Australia grew 22 percent for the year and
     26 percent for the quarter, while revenue in China increased 60 percent
     for the year and 64 percent for the quarter, compared with the prior
     year. Korea's revenue for the year was up 69 percent, and finished the
     year strongly with fourth-quarter 2006 revenue more than double
     compared with the prior year. India and Singapore also made significant
     revenue growth contributions. The leading Asian Hotels business
     recorded a very strong finish in 2006 with revenue almost tripling in
     the last quarter compared with the prior year and with revenue for the
     full year up 33 percent as a result of higher transaction volume and
     increased market share. Offsetting the region's growth was a decline in
     Japan, where Capital Markets activity was lower in 2006 compared with
     2005, which included several significant closed transactions.

     Operating expenses on a full-year basis for the Asia Pacific region
     increased 26 percent in both U.S. dollars and local currencies, and for
     the fourth quarter increased 34 percent in U.S. dollars and 30 percent
     in local currencies, over the prior year. The increase was the result
     of expansion of the geographic platform, service capabilities and
     infrastructure throughout the region.

     Operating income decreased from $20.0 million in 2005 to $18.6 million
     in 2006. Included in 2006's full year results were expenses of
     approximately $1.7 million for net transition costs incurred to
     outsource the management of the region's IT infrastructure, call
     centers and application development, positioning the region for
     significant future growth. The 2005 full-year results included a
     benefit of $2.4 million received from a litigation settlement.
     Excluding the impact of these items, operating income for the region
     would have increased from $17.6 million in 2005 to $20.3 million in
     2006, with operating income margins flat at approximately six percent.
     The firm is now well-positioned with a leading market share in the
     region to capitalize on the anticipated growth.


  LaSalle Investment Management

  -- LaSalle Investment Management's full-year revenue grew to $384 million,
     up 90 percent in U.S. dollars and 86 percent in local currencies over
     the prior year, and fourth-quarter revenue increased to $85 million, up
     18 percent in U.S. dollars and 13 percent in local currencies. The
     increase in revenue was driven by the continued growth of the
     annuity-based business as well as from incentive fees that were
     generated from strong performance of client's investments managed by
     the firm.

     The continued focus on the growth in annuity revenue led to a full-year
     increase in Advisory fees of 39 percent and a fourth quarter increase
     of 48 percent over 2005. The growth in the annuity business was
     principally due to the healthy increase in assets under management.
     Supporting this growth, the firm's co-investment capital totaled
     $132 million at the end of 2006, compared with $89 million in the prior
     year.

     Incentive fees vary significantly from period to period due to both the
     performance of the underlying investments and the contractual timing of
     the measurement periods for different clients. In 2006, incentive fees
     were up significantly for the full year due to the single incentive fee
     earned in the second quarter of the year, and were slightly down for
     the fourth quarter compared with last year. The amount of the specific
     incentive fee was originally disclosed as $109.5 million, but
     increased during the second half of the year to $112.5 million as a
     result of final third-party valuations and audit.

     LaSalle Investment Management raised over $7.1 billion of equity during
     2006, as it launched three new private equity funds and secured 16
     global securities mandates. Investments made on behalf of clients in
     2006 were $9.6 billion, including the CenterPoint acquisition, compared
     with approximately $5.4 billion in 2005. Assets under management grew
     to $40.6 billion from $30.0 billion, a 35 percent increase over the
     prior year.


  Summary

In 2006, the firm benefited from favorable global market environments, effective execution of its strategic initiatives, and its globally diverse business platform. These initiatives included several acquisitions and the addition of a significant number of people, product lines and infrastructure to its platform. The firm remains committed to future growth, to expanding market share across its businesses and to delivering superior results to clients.

                        Financial Statement Notes

  1. EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense, net of interest
     income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is
     a non-GAAP financial measure, it is used extensively by management and
     is useful to investors as one of the primary metrics for evaluating
     operating performance and liquidity. The firm believes that an increase
     in EBITDA is an indicator of improved ability to service existing debt,
     to sustain potential future increases in debt and to satisfy capital
     requirements.  EBITDA is also used in the calculations of certain
     covenants related to the firm's revolving credit facility. However,
     EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative either to net income
     or net cash provided by operating activities, both of which are
     determined in accordance with GAAP. Because EBITDA is not calculated
     under GAAP, the firm's EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled
     measures used by other companies.

     Below is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA (in thousands):


                                                  Years Ended December 31,

  Net income                                      $176,401       $103,672
  Add:
  Interest expense, net of interest income          14,254          3,999
  Net provision for income taxes                    63,825         36,236
  Depreciation and amortization                     48,964         33,836
  EBITDA                                          $303,444       $177,743


Below is a reconciliation of net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable cash flow measure on the consolidated statements of cash flows, to EBITDA (in thousands):

                                                  Years Ended December 31,
                                                    2006          2005

  Net cash provided by operating activities       $377,703       $120,636
  Add:
  Interest expense, net of interest income          14,254          3,999
  Change in working capital and non-cash
   expenses                                       (152,338)        16,872
  Net provision for income taxes                    63,825         36,236
  EBITDA                                          $303,444       $177,743


  2. Net debt represents the aggregate of Short-Term Borrowings and Credit
     Facilities, less Cash and Cash Equivalents.

  3. For purposes of segment operating results, the allocation of
     restructuring charges to our segments has been determined to not be
     meaningful to investors. Additionally, the performance of segment
     results has been evaluated without these charges being allocated.

  4. The consolidated statements of cash flows are presented in summarized
     form. For complete consolidated statements of cash flows, please refer
     to the firm's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
     December 31, 2006, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission shortly.

  5. Net income available to common shareholders is net income less
     dividends declared on unvested common shares of $0.5 million for the
     fourth quarter of 2006 and $1.1 million for the full year 2006
     compared to $0 for the fourth quarter of 2005 and $0.4 million for the
     full year 2005.
