CHICAGO, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated , the leading integrated financial and professional services firm specializing in real estate, today reported net income on a U.S. GAAP basis of $84 million, or $2.44 per diluted share of common stock, for the year ended December 31, 2008, compared with net income of $256 million, or $7.64 per share, for the year ended December 31, 2007. Full-year 2007 results included a significant transaction advisory fee earned in the Asia Pacific Hotels business. Excluding restructuring charges and adjusting for certain impacts of purchase accounting, 2008 net income would have been $127 million, or $3.71 per diluted share of common stock. Operating income for 2008 was $151 million, compared with $342 million for the prior year. The firm's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") were $233 million for 2008 and $413 million for 2007.
For the fourth quarter of 2008, net income was $41 million, or $1.17 per share, compared with net income of $105 million, or $3.16 per share for the same period in 2007. Operating income for the fourth quarter was $72 million, compared with $140 million in the prior year. Fourth-quarter EBITDA for 2008 and 2007 was $95 million and $156 million, respectively.
Full-Year 2008 Highlights: -- Strong growth in global corporate outsourcing -- Americas revenue increase of 22 percent to $933 million driven by successful Staubach merger and corporate outsourcing -- Operating income of $151 million and EBITDA of $233 million
Included in the firm's 2008 results were 15 acquisitions that closed during the year, the most significant being The Staubach Company and Kemper's. Full-year results included $18 million of intangible amortization and $7 million of integration costs related to these two acquisitions. Fourth- quarter results included $8 million of intangible amortization and $5 million of integration costs. Full-year results also included severance charges of $23 million, which resulted from the need to reduce staffing levels to reflect lower anticipated revenue in certain businesses related to the global economic slowdown and credit contraction. Integration costs for the acquisitions, as well as severance charges, are reported as Restructuring Charges for the full- year and fourth-quarter periods. Total Restructuring Charges for 2008 were $30 million. These costs are excluded from segment operating results for the full year and fourth quarter, although they are included for consolidated reporting.
Full-year revenue was $2.7 billion in both 2008 and 2007, despite substantial decreases in Capital Markets and Hotels transaction levels. Transaction Services revenue decreased by 8 percent from 2007, to $1.4 billion; however, excluding Capital Markets and Hotels, Transaction Services revenue for the year increased 14 percent over 2007, to $1.1 billion. Management Services revenue increased 22 percent to $882 million in 2008, with all operating regions contributing to the revenue growth. LaSalle Investment Management's Advisory fees increased 13 percent over the prior year to $278 million, and Incentive fees were $59 million in 2008, compared with $88 million in 2007. Acquisitions completed in 2008 contributed $193 million in revenue for the full year and $104 million for the fourth quarter.
For the fourth quarter of 2008, revenue was $797 million, a decrease of 8 percent from $862 million in the prior year, driven by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates as the U.S. dollar strengthened and a $106 million revenue decrease in Capital Markets and Hotels from the fourth quarter of 2007. On a local currency basis, revenue increased 1 percent over the same period in 2007. Transaction Services revenue, excluding Capital Markets and Hotels, was $365 million in the fourth quarter, an increase of 9 percent over the prior year, and Management Services revenue was $247 million, an increase of 10 percent over the fourth quarter of 2007.
"Through focused execution for our clients, we gained market share and maintained revenues in 2008 while aggressively managing our own costs," said Colin Dyer, Chief Executive Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. "With continuing challenges in 2009, we will focus our superior market knowledge and execution skills to create value for our clients. We will remain flexible across our operations to align the company to current market conditions," Dyer added.
Operating expenses were $2.5 billion for the year, compared with $2.3 billion in 2007, and $725 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with $721 million in the prior year, including Restructuring Charges of $30 million for the year and $20 million in the fourth quarter. Operating expenses from the 15 acquisitions completed in 2008, including integration and intangible amortization, were $192 million for the full year and $92 million for the fourth quarter, which were not reflected in the firm's 2007 results. Specifically, The Staubach Company and Kemper's added to the firm's cost structure and increased operating expenses compared with 2007.
Balance Sheet
During the fourth quarter, the firm amended its credit agreements with its bank group to provide additional financial flexibility. The amendments increased the maximum allowable Leverage Ratio under the credit agreements from 3.25x to 3.50x through September 2009, provided additions to Adjusted EBITDA for certain non-recurring charges related primarily to expense- management actions and adjusted certain other definitions in the agreements. Our December 19, 2008, Form 8-K filing provides additional information about the terms of the amendments. The total borrowing capacity under the agreements is $870 million and the maturity on both agreements remains June 2012. At December 31, 2008, the firm's Leverage Ratio as calculated under the amended agreements was 2.24x.
Business Segment Full-Year and Fourth-Quarter Performance Highlights Investor and Occupier Services
-- Full-year revenue in the Americas region was $933 million, an increase of 22 percent over the prior year, and fourth-quarter revenue was $315 million, an increase of 26 percent. Staubach contributed $128 million and $81 million of revenue for the full year and fourth quarter, respectively. This revenue excludes deferred commissions not recognized due to purchase accounting of $22 million for the year and $8 million for the fourth quarter as well as $11 million of third-quarter revenue recognized by Staubach prior to the July 11, 2008, transaction close. The Staubach contribution offset Capital Markets and Hotels revenue declines of $58 million for the year and $25 million for the quarter.
Management Services revenue for 2008 increased 17 percent for the full year, to $422 million, and 10 percent in the quarter, to $127 million, compared with 2007.

Excluding Capital Markets and Hotels, Transaction Services revenue grew 58 percent for the year and 77 percent quarter over quarter compared with 2007. The increases were primarily the result of additional leasing activity from the Staubach acquisition. The region's total Leasing revenue for the year increased 52 percent, to $348 million, up from $229 million in 2007. For the fourth quarter, Leasing revenue increased 62 percent above 2007 levels, to $134 million.

The Corporate Solutions business in the Americas, which provides comprehensive outsourcing services including transactions, project development and integrated facility management, grew revenues 29 percent for the year and 26 percent in the quarter compared with the same periods in 2007.

The largest contributors to the decreases were Capital Markets and Hotels, down $152 million for the year, or 44 percent, and down $56 million in the quarter, or 49 percent. Weakening foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar reduced revenues for the full year and most significantly in the fourth quarter. Excluding the impact of currency fluctuations and Capital Markets and Hotels, full-year and fourth-quarter revenue increased 18 percent and 1 percent, respectively. The revenue contribution from six acquisitions closed in 2008 was $37 million for the year and $15 million for the fourth quarter.

Management Services revenue grew 36 percent for the full year and 3 percent for the fourth quarter compared with the same periods in 2007. The acquisition of a French project development services firm in the fourth quarter of 2007 largely contributed to the full-year 2008 increase.
Operating expenses were $848 million for the full year in 2008, an increase of 2 percent from the prior year, 3 percent in local currency. The six acquisitions completed during the year added $33 million of incremental operating expenses, including integration and amortization, in the full-year results, and $9 million in the quarter.

Excluding the impact of foreign currency exchange, full-year revenue was down 14 percent, and fourth-quarter revenue was down 4 percent compared with the same periods in 2007. The current revenue contribution from five acquisitions closed in 2008 was $21 million for the year and $6 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.
Management Services revenue in the region was $245 million for the year, an increase of 19 percent over 2007, and $65 million for the fourth quarter of 2008, an increase of 15 percent over the same period last year, driven by corporate outsourcing facility management and property management.

Operating expenses for the region were $532 million for the full year and $137 million for the fourth quarter of 2008. With an aggressive focus on costs, operating expenses were relatively flat year over year, despite higher occupancy costs from business expansion in growth markets, as well as additional operating costs and amortization of intangibles from businesses purchased in 2008. The impact of the five acquisitions included in 2008 operating expenses added $20 million to the full year and $6 million to the fourth quarter.
The region's EBITDA for the full year and fourth quarter of 2008 was $18 million and $11 million, respectively, compared with $79 million and $25 million for the same periods last year.
LaSalle Investment Management
LaSalle Investment Management's 2008 full-year revenue was $352 million, compared with $371 million in the prior year, and fourth-quarter revenue was $91 million, compared with $115 million in 2007. Advisory fees grew 13 percent to $278 million and partially offset declines in Transaction Services and Incentive fees as well as $5 million of equity losses primarily due to asset impairments. Advisory fees decreased 15 percent for the fourth quarter of 2008, compared with the prior year, driven by lower asset values in the public securities business.
Asset sales, a key driver of Incentive fees, continued to be impacted by the limited availability of financing. Incentive fees were $59 million in 2008, compared with $88 million in 2007. Fourth-quarter Incentive fees were down 13 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2007.
LaSalle Investment Management raised $2.9 billion of equity during 2008 compared with $10.1 billion in 2007, reflecting investor caution in an increasingly uncertain economic environment. Investments made on behalf of clients were $4.1 billion in 2008, compared with $8.4 billion in the prior year.

2. 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.
