- Total revenue for the first quarter was $1.3 billion, up 14 percent from 2015. Consolidated fee revenue for the first quarter was $1.1 billion, up 11 percent from 2015.

- Consolidated fee-based operating expenses, excluding restructuring and acquisition charges, were $1.1 billion for the quarter, compared with $976 million last year, an increase of 14 percent.
- LaSalle Investment Management generated double-digit growth, driven by transaction fees on real estate acquisitions, with total revenue increasing 18 percent. LaSalle also realized another quarter of robust equity earnings, primarily from net valuation increases across our co-investment portfolio.
- Adjusted operating income for the quarter was $45 million, compared with $55 million last year, driven by relative growth of annuity businesses and a slow start in capital markets against an outsized first quarter in 2015, together with investments in technology and data.

- Net interest expense for the quarter was $8.9 million, up from $6.0 million in 2015, primarily due to higher average borrowings compared with last year.
- Reflecting confidence in the company's cash generation, the Board of Directors declared a semi-annual dividend of $0.31 per share, a 7 percent increase from the $0.29 per share payment made in December 2015.

JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
Financial Statement Notes
1. Consistent with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), gross contract vendor and subcontractor costs ("gross contract costs") which are managed on certain client assignments in the Property & Facility Management and Project & Development Services business lines are presented on a gross basis in both revenue and operating expenses. Gross contract costs are excluded from revenue and operating expenses in determining "fee revenue" and "fee-based operating expenses," respectively. Excluding these costs from revenue and operating expenses more accurately reflects how the company manages its expense base and its operating margins.
Adjusted operating income excludes the impact of restructuring and acquisition charges, mortgage servicing rights ("MSRs") - net non-cash activity, and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles. MSRs - net non-cash activity consists of the balances presented within Revenue comprised of (a) the gains recognized by the company in conjunction with the origination and sale of mortgage loans offset by (b) the amortization of the corresponding MSR intangible assets generated upon the aforementioned gain recognition over the estimated period that net servicing income is projected to be received. Such gains and the corresponding MSR intangible assets are calculated as the present value of estimated cash inflows and outflows over the estimated mortgage servicing periods. This activity is excluded from adjusted operating income for the first quarter of 2016 following the company's acquisition of Oak Grove Capital during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, primarily comprised of the estimated fair value ascribed at closing of an acquisition to acquired management contracts and customer backlog, is excluded from adjusted operating income for the first quarter of 2016 following the company's substantial acquisition activity during the fourth quarter of 2015.
Although adjusted operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure, it is used extensively by management and is useful to investors and lenders as a metric for evaluating operating performance. However, adjusted operating income should not be considered as an alternative to operating income determined in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted operating income is not calculated under GAAP, the company's adjusted operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
The presentation of adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2015 was recast to reflect the adjustments associated with MSRs - net non-cash activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles for comparability. However, no adjustment to revenue amounts presented throughout has been made to exclude MSRs - net non-cash activity.
"Adjusted operating income margin" is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by fee revenue. Below are reconciliations of revenue and operating expenses to fee revenue and fee-based operating expenses, as well as adjusted operating income margin calculations:

2. Net restructuring and acquisition charges, MSRs -- net non-cash activity, and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles are excluded from GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to arrive at adjusted net income used in the calculation of adjusted diluted earnings per share.
Percentage variances 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 periods against which our current period results are being compared. Management believes this methodology provides a framework for assessing our performance and operations excluding the effect of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Because percentage variances presented on a local currency basis are not calculated under GAAP, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Although adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP financial measures, they are used extensively by management and believed to be useful to investors for evaluating operating performance. However, adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share should not be considered as alternatives to net income and diluted earnings per share determined in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share are not calculated under GAAP, the company's adjusted net income and adjusted diluted earnings per share may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Below are reconciliations of GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders to adjusted net income and calculations of earnings per share for each net income total:

Calculated on a local currency basis, the results for the first quarter 2016 include a $0.05 favorable impact due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as compared to a $0.07 unfavorable impact for the first quarter 2015.
3. Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest expense net of interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for restructuring and acquisition charges and MSRs - net non-cash activity. Although adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, they are used extensively by management and are useful to investors and lenders as metrics for evaluating operating performance and liquidity. EBITDA is used in the calculations of certain covenants related to the company's revolving credit facility. However, adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Because adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not calculated under GAAP, the company's adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Below is a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA:

4. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results, although they are included for consolidated reporting. For purposes of segment operating results, the allocation of restructuring and acquisition charges to the segments has been determined not to be meaningful to investors, so the performance of segment results has been evaluated without allocation of these charges.
5. Each geographic region offers the company's full range of Real Estate Services businesses consisting primarily of tenant representation and agency leasing; capital markets; property management and facilities management; project and development services; and advisory, consulting and valuations services. LaSalle Investment Management provides investment management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
6. The consolidated statements of cash flows are presented in summarized form. For complete consolidated statements of cash flows, please refer to the company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the near future.
7. EMEA refers to Europe, Middle East and Africa. MENA refers to Middle East and North Africa. Greater China includes China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan. Southeast Asia refers to Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. The BRIC countries include Brazil, Russia, India and China. Benelux refers to Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.
8. Certain prior-year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. The company adopted ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (ASU 2015-03), and therefore 2015-15, effective January 1, 2016, as a change in accounting principle. As retrospective application is required, the comparative balance sheet information has been adjusted; debt issuance costs of $18.1 million as of December 31, 2015, have been reclassified from Other assets to Credit facility ($15.4 million) and Long-term senior notes ($2.7 million). The adoption of ASU 2015-03 had no impact on our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income or cash flows.
