Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and include the accounts of JLL and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for either at fair value or under the equity method.
When applying principles of consolidation, we begin by determining whether an investee entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") or a voting interest entity. U.S. GAAP draws a distinction between voting interest entities, which are embodied by common and traditional corporate and certain partnership structures, and VIEs, broadly defined as entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. For voting interest entities, the interest holder with control through majority ownership and majority voting rights consolidates the entity. For VIEs, determination of the "primary beneficiary" dictates the accounting treatment. We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise having both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We perform the primary beneficiary analysis as of the inception of our investment and upon the occurrence of a reconsideration event. When we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the VIE; when we determine we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we account for our investment in the VIE at fair value or under the equity method, based upon an election made at the time of investment.
Our determination of the appropriate accounting method to apply for unconsolidated investments is based on the level of influence we have in the underlying entity. When we have an asset advisory contract with a real estate limited partnership in which we also hold an ownership interest, the combination of our limited partner interest and the advisory agreement generally provides us with significant influence over such real estate limited partnership. Accordingly, we account for such investments either at the equity method or fair value if elected. We eliminate transactions with such subsidiaries to the extent of our ownership in such subsidiaries.
For less-than-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to JLL. We evaluate whether noncontrolling interests possess any redemption features outside of our control. If such features exist, the noncontrolling interests are presented outside of permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within Redeemable noncontrolling interest. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted to the greater of their fair value or carrying value as of each balance sheet date through a charge to Additional paid-in capital, if necessary. We had no such redeemable noncontrolling interest as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. When noncontrolling interests have no redemption features outside of our control, noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We report revenues, expenses and net income/loss from less-than-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests; the income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders is reflected in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Such estimates include the value and allocation of purchase consideration, valuation of accounts receivable, Reimbursable receivables, Warehouse receivables, Investments, Goodwill, intangible assets, derivative financial instruments, other long-lived assets, earn-out liabilities, legal contingencies, assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, incentive compensation, self-insurance program liabilities, and retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others.
These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimate and judgment. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Market factors, such as illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can increase the uncertainty in such estimates and assumptions. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Although actual amounts may differ from such estimated amounts, we believe such differences are not likely to be material.

Workplace Management
Workplace Management provides comprehensive, on-site day-to-day real estate management services to corporations and institutions across a broad range of industries that outsource the management of the real estate they occupy. Contract pricing can include multiple elements, such as a management fee or an incentive fee or other form of variable consideration. In addition, these fees may be inclusive of – or distinct from – the reimbursement of costs related to client-dedicated personnel, subcontractors and third-party vendors for which we are reimbursed. When distinct, such costs are reimbursed separately from our management fee.
Management fees are typically structured as a fixed monthly price for an agreed-upon scope of work or are determined by applying a contractual markup to spend associated with fulfilling our Workplace Management contracts. As these fees represent a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time, we recognize revenue each period for fees related to the services we perform.
Many contracts also include variable consideration, which is typically earned as an incentive fee when we perform favorably with respect to agreed-upon key performance indicators ("KPI"), but may also be structured as an at-risk fee where we are penalized for failing to achieve a KPI. Examples of KPIs include shared savings targets, service quality benchmarks, timely work order completion statistics and client satisfaction scores. Regardless of the upside or downside nature, we assess variable consideration independently for each contract and, when appropriate, recognize such fees as revenue when the achievement of the KPI is probable and material reversal of such revenue is unlikely.
Because we control and direct the work of client-dedicated employees, we present the associated compensation and benefits expense as well as the corresponding revenue gross on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Similarly, when we act as principal with respect to third-party vendors and subcontractors engaged to deliver operational services to our client, we control and direct these third-party activities prior to the transfer of services to the client and accordingly present the costs we are reimbursed for as well as the corresponding revenue as gross. For contracts where we do not control and direct third-party services delivered to the client, we act as the client’s agent and report revenue net of such costs.
Project Management
Project Management provides construction-related services, primarily short-term in nature, ranging from development and design to general contracting and project management for owners and occupiers of real estate. Depending on the terms of our engagement, our performance obligation is either to arrange for the completion of a project or to assume responsibility for completing a project on behalf of a client. Our obligations to clients are satisfied over time due to the continuous transfer of control of the underlying asset. Therefore, we recognize revenue over time, generally using input measures (e.g., to-date costs incurred relative to total estimated costs at completion).
Typically, we are entitled to consideration at distinct milestones over the term of an engagement. For certain contracts where we assume responsibility for completing a project, we control the services provided by third-party vendors and subcontractors prior to transfer of the assets to the client. In these situations, the third-party costs incurred on behalf of clients, along with the associated reimbursement revenue, are presented gross on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In contrast, where we act as agent on behalf of clients, third-party costs incurred and the associated revenue are presented net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Property Management
Property Management provides on-site day-to-day real estate management services for owners of office, industrial, retail, multifamily residential and various other types of properties, representing a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time. Pricing is generally in the form of a monthly management fee based upon property-level cash receipts, square footage under management or some other variable metric.
Although we are principal in certain situations, we generally act as agent on behalf of our Property Management clients in relation to third-party vendors and subcontractors engaged to deliver operational services to our clients' properties. In these situations, we arrange, but do not control, the services provided by third party vendors and subcontractors prior to the transfer of the services to the client. As a result, the third-party costs incurred on behalf of clients, along with the corresponding revenue, are presented net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Portfolio Services and Other
Portfolio Services and Other includes a variety of different service offerings, including advising clients on how to optimize their workplace strategies and occupancy planning efforts, and overall portfolio strategy management and administration for our clients. Our performance obligation is to provide services as specified in the contract. For event-driven point-in-time transactions, we record revenue when our performance obligation is complete, such as the delivery of a report to the client, whereas revenue is recorded over time for services with a continuous transfer of control to our clients.
Leasing Advisory
Leasing
Leasing revenue is earned from brokerage commissions as we represent tenants and/or landlords in connection with real estate leases. Our performance obligation is to facilitate the execution of a lease agreement, which is satisfied at a point in time, upon lease execution. Generally, we are either entitled to the full consideration upon lease execution or in part upon lease execution with the remainder upon the occurrence of a future event outside of our control (e.g., tenant occupancy, lease commencement, or rent commencement). The majority of the events that preclude our entitlement to the full consideration upon lease execution are considered to be "normal course of business" and, therefore, do not result in a constraint upon the recognition of revenue. In the infrequent instance our fee entitlement in a contract with a customer is predicated on the occurrence of a future event(s) uncertain of occurring, we constrain the recognition of revenue until the uncertainty is resolved or the future event occurs. Generally, less than 5% of our Leasing revenue recognized in a period had previously been constrained.
Advisory, Consulting and Other
Advisory, Consulting and Other includes a variety of different service offerings, whereby our performance obligation is to provide services as specified in the contract. Occasionally, our entitlement to consideration is predicated on the occurrence of an event such as the delivery of a report to the client. However, except for event-driven point-in-time transactions, the majority of services provided within this service line are delivered over time due to the continuous transfer of control to our clients.
Capital Markets Services
Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other
We provide brokerage and other services for capital transactions, such as real estate sales or loan originations and refinancings. Our performance obligation is to facilitate the execution of capital transactions, and we are generally entitled to the full consideration at the point in time upon which our performance obligation is satisfied, at which time we recognize revenue. In addition, revenue related to mortgage servicing rights ("MSR" or "MSRs") and loan origination fees are reported within Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other.
Value and Risk Advisory
Value and Risk Advisory service offerings include (but are not limited to) asset appraisal, business valuation, property tax advisory, complex litigation and environmental property consulting. Our performance obligation is to provide services as specified in the contract and our pricing is negotiated based on the scale and complexity of each assignment. Typically, our entitlement to consideration is predicated on the occurrence of an event such as the delivery of an appraisal or report to the client.
Loan Servicing
We service substantially all the loans we originate and sell, and service loans we did not originate but subsequently acquire the rights to service. We obtain a periodic fee for each loan we service based on a proportion of the cash collections.
Capital Markets Services revenue excluded from the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606")
Our mortgage banking and servicing operations, comprised of (i) all Loan Servicing revenue and (ii) activities related to MSRs and loan origination fees (included in Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other), are not considered revenue from contracts with customers, and accordingly are excluded from the scope of ASC Topic 606. Such out-of-scope revenue is presented below.
Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)202520242023
Revenue excluded from scope of ASC Topic 606$360.8 325.9 286.3 
Investment Management
Investment Management provides real estate investment management services to clients and generally earns consideration in the form of advisory fees, transaction fees and incentive fees. Typically, our performance obligation is to manage clients’ capital for a specified period of time and is delivered as a series of daily performance obligations over time. Revenue recognition for transaction fees and incentive fees is generally constrained until all contingencies have cleared due to the possibility of a significant reversal. Revenue is recognized upon completion of the events necessary to realize the associated consideration. Substantially all incentive fees recognized as revenue were previously constrained.
Software and Technology Solutions
Software and Technology Solutions offers multiple cloud-based software solutions that generate value for investors and businesses by enabling higher-quality decision-making through improved data and analytics. We recognize cloud-based software revenue over time commensurate with the length and terms of the contract. In addition, we offer professional services such as program and project management, implementation and support, managed services, and advisory services. We recognize professional services revenue at the time our performance obligation is satisfied.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Software and Technology Solutions segment will merge into Real Estate Management Services with results of operations reported as a subsegment within Real Estate Management Services.
Contract Costs
Expenses, primarily employee commissions, incurred on leasing and capital markets transactions represent substantially all our incremental costs to obtain revenue contracts. We apply the applicable practical expedient offered by ASC Topic 606 when the amortization period is one year or less and, therefore, recognize these costs as an operating expense as they are incurred.
We also incur costs to fulfill revenue contracts, primarily related to transition costs incurred prior to delivering Property Management and Workplace Management services. These costs are not expensed as incurred but are deferred and amortized as an operating expense over the expected life of the contract in accordance with the transfer of related services. Contract costs that are recognized as assets are reviewed for impairment when events and changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets include amounts recognized as revenue for which we are not yet entitled to payment for reasons other than the passage of time, but that do not constrain revenue recognition. We include Contract assets in our reserving process and assess the risk of loss similar to our methodology for Trade receivables, since Contract assets are reclassified to Trade receivables when we become entitled to payment. Accordingly, a reserve is applied upon recognition of the contract asset. Our contract assets, net of allowance, are included in Short-term contract assets and Other assets.
Contract liabilities include advance payments we have received which relate to performance obligations we have not yet satisfied. The majority of contract liabilities are recognized as revenue within 90 days. Our contract liabilities are included in Short-term contract liabilities and deferred income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Such contract assets and liabilities are presented below.
(in millions)December 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Contract assets, gross$407.1 388.3 
Contract asset allowance(3.9)(3.9)
Contract assets, net$403.2 384.4 
Contract liabilities$187.3 154.7 
Deferred Income
Deferred income includes payments received from customers for which we have satisfied our performance obligations but are not yet able to recognize the related revenue because of contractual requirements.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate transaction price for contracts where our performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represented an insignificant amount of our total revenue. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, excluded from the aforementioned remaining performance obligations are (i) amounts attributable to contracts expected to be completed within 12 months and (ii) variable consideration for services performed as a series of daily performance obligations, such as facilities management, property management, and Investment Management contracts. Contracts within these businesses represent a significant portion of our contracts with customers not expected to be completed within 12 months.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly-liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or fewer to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.
Financing Receivables
We account for Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, Long-term receivables, Reimbursable receivables, and Warehouse receivables as financing receivables.
Trade Receivables
Pursuant to contractual arrangements, Trade receivables, net of allowances include unbilled amounts of $612.8 million and $625.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We estimate the allowance necessary to provide for uncollectible Trade receivables. We base this estimate on historical collection experience combined with a review of current developments and economic conditions. The process by which we calculate the allowance is formulaic and driven by the age profile of the receivables. We then review these allowances on a quarterly basis to ensure they are appropriate. After all collection efforts have been exhausted by management, the outstanding balance considered not collectible is written off against the allowance.
The following table details the changes in the allowance for uncollectible Trade receivables.

Trade Receivables - Factoring
We participate in certain clients' trade receivables factoring programs in which we elect and sell Trade and Reimbursable receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. We account for the transfer of the receivables as a true sale in accordance with ASC Topic 860 at the point control is transferred (after which we have no continuing involvement) and, accordingly, the sold receivables are excluded from Trade or Reimbursable receivables in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Cash flows attributable to factoring are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Factoring fees are included as Operating, administrative and other expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The aggregate amount of factoring fees on the sale of trade receivables was not material during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025.
Notes and Other Receivables and Long-Term Receivables
We make ongoing assessments of the collectability of outstanding Notes and other receivables and Long-term receivables, considering both objective and subjective factors such as the aging profile of outstanding balances, the contractual terms of repayment, and credit quality. To the extent that receivables share similar characteristics, these are assessed on a collective basis. Aspects of credit quality considered in our assessments of collectability include historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, and our broader business relationship with the obligor. We record an allowance against the outstanding balance when our assessments determine payment has become unlikely. After all collection efforts have been exhausted by management, the outstanding balance is written off against the reserve. Historically, credit quality deterioration to the point of impairment or non-performance in our Notes and other receivables and Long-term receivables has not had a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reimbursable Receivables
We recognize Reimbursable receivables for costs incurred on behalf of clients, primarily while performing property & facility management services. These costs include direct reimbursements, primarily payroll and third-party vendor and subcontractor costs. We record an allowance based on specific identification of an uncollectible reimbursable receivable, considering current and future economic conditions as well as client credit quality. Historically, we have not experienced any material collection issues and, as such, have not applied a formulaic reserve to these receivables. Reimbursable receivables relate to our Reimbursable payables, which are typically satisfied on a pay-when-paid basis.
Warehouse Receivables
We classify Warehouse receivables as held-for-sale as they represent originated mortgage loans for which we have simultaneously executed commitments to sell to a third-party investor, primarily the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). These loans (also referred to as "Warehouse receivables") are funded directly to borrowers by our Warehouse facilities and are generally repaid within a 45-day period after origination when the third-party investor buys the loan(s); upon surrender of control over each loan, we account for the transfer as a sale. Warehouse receivables are measured and reported at fair value in accordance with our entity-wide election of the fair value option. As such, increases or decreases in the fair value of loans are recognized as Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Historically, we have not experienced credit quality deterioration or uncollectible balances with respect to our Warehouse receivables.
We generally retain certain servicing rights upon sale of the mortgage loan (refer to the Mortgage Servicing Rights section below). We typically retain no exposure for credit losses on loans subsequent to sale, except for loans under Fannie Mae's Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") program. See the following section, Financial Guarantees, as well as Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on the risk of loss retained related to DUS program loans.
Contractually specified servicing fees related to sold warehouse receivables and loans serviced for others were $168.4 million, $160.0 million and $152.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including prepayment and late fees totaling $4.2 million, $2.6 million, and $4.2 million, respectively, and are included in Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Placement fees totaling $82.6 million, $90.9 million, and $79.6 million earned for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were also recorded in Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Financial Guarantees
Certain loans we originate and sell under the Fannie Mae DUS program retain a percentage of the risk of loss. This loss-sharing aspect of the program represents an off-balance sheet credit exposure, and we have established a contingent reserve ("loan loss guarantee reserve") for this risk in accordance with ASC Topic 326. To estimate the reserve, we use a model that analyzes historical losses, current and expected economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The model also considers specific details of the underlying property used as collateral, such as occupancy and financial performance. Loans are evaluated collectively based on vintage, which captures similar risk characteristics. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the loan loss guarantee reserve was $29.9 million and $28.5 million, respectively, and was included within Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For all DUS program loans with loss-sharing obligations, we record a non-contingent liability 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 liability is amortized over the estimated life of the loan and recognized as Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The loss-sharing guarantee obligation (in accordance with ASC Topic 460, Guarantees) is separate from the loan loss guarantee reserve discussed above. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, loss-sharing guarantee obligations were $30.4 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and was included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on the DUS program.
Mortgage Servicing Rights
We generally retain servicing rights in connection with the origination and sale of Warehouse receivables. We initially record MSRs based on the fair value of these rights on the date the loans are sold, which could result in net gains which we recognize as Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $458.2 million and $471.1 million, respectively, of MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in Identified intangibles on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of loans making up the servicing portfolio was $140.3 billion and $140.1 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We amortize servicing rights over the estimated period net servicing income is projected to be received. In addition, we evaluate MSR intangible assets for impairment on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances or events indicate a change in fair value. Other than write-offs due to prepayments of sold Warehouse receivables for which we retained the servicing rights, there have been no significant instances of impairment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025. However, an increase in loan prepayment activity or deterioration in the credit quality of borrowers could result in a decrease to our MSR balance. MSRs do not actively trade in an open market with readily available observable prices; therefore, if necessary, the fair value of these rights are determined in part based on certain assumptions and judgments that are unobservable within the fair value hierarchy. Specifically, the fair value of the MSRs is determined using a discounted cash flow model incorporating assumptions, including a conditional prepayment rate and cost of service. The estimated fair value of MSRs was $666.7 million and $708.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
See Note 4, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information on MSRs.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of cash amounts set aside to satisfy legal or contractual requirements arising in the normal course of business. We are restricted in our ability to withdraw these funds other than for their specified use.
Property and Equipment
We record property and equipment at cost and depreciate these assets over their relevant useful lives. We capitalize certain direct costs relating to internal-use software when incurred during the development phase.
We evaluate property and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. We record an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We did not recognize any significant impairment losses related to property and equipment during the three years ended December 31, 2025.
We calculate depreciation on property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of our assets. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $201.8 million, $189.5 million and $168.7 million, respectively. The following table shows the gross value of major asset categories and the standard depreciable lives for each of these asset categories as of December 31, 2025.

Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We have historically grown, in part, through a series of acquisitions. Consistent with the services nature of the majority of businesses we have acquired, we have recognized significant goodwill and intangible assets resulting from these acquisitions. Intangible assets are initially recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. They primarily represent customer relationships, management contracts and customer backlogs acquired as part of our acquisitions.
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually on July 1st of each year or when a triggering event occurs. In our annual goodwill impairment evaluation on July 1, 2025, we considered qualitative and quantitative factors and determined it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than their carrying value. In performing our assessments of all reporting units, we primarily considered (i) macroeconomic and industry trends, (ii) our overall financial performance, and nature of the key drivers thereof, during the year at both the reporting unit and consolidated reporting levels, (iii) near and longer-term forecasts of financial results and cash flows generated by our reporting units in relation to the carrying values of the net assets of each reporting unit, and (iv) our market capitalization in relation to the aggregate carrying value of our net assets.
In addition to our annual impairment evaluation, we evaluated whether events or circumstances have occurred in the period subsequent to our annual impairment testing and determined it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of all our reporting units are less than their respective carrying values. It is possible our determination that goodwill for a reporting unit is not impaired could change in the future if current economic or other conditions deteriorate. We will continue to monitor the relationship between our market capitalization and carrying value, as well as the ability of our reporting units to deliver current and projected earnings and cash flows sufficient to support the carrying values of the net assets of their respective businesses.
We evaluate our Identified intangibles for impairment annually or more frequently if other events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired.
See Note 4, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information on business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets.
Investments
We invest in certain ventures that primarily own and operate commercial real estate on a global basis across a wide array of sectors including retail, residential and office. Historically, these investments have primarily been co-investments in funds our Investment Management business establishes in the ordinary course of business for its clients. These investments take the form of equity ownership interests generally ranging from less than 1% to 10% of the respective ventures and, based upon investment-specific objectives, have generally included five to nine-year investment periods. Typically, our investments are not redeemable until the earlier of the disposition of the underlying real estate investments or the end of the fund's life. When in place, such restrictions are a result of our role beyond that of a passive investor, which generally means an advisory or management responsibility on behalf of the other investors who are typically clients of our Investment Management business. We account for these investments at fair value or under the equity method of accounting as further discussed below.
In addition to our LaSalle investments, we have strategic investments in early to mid-stage Proptech companies as well as proptech funds to improve our strategic position within the real estate technology landscape, including investments through the JLL Spark Global Ventures Funds. We account for a majority of these investments at fair value. Certain investments are accounted for under the measurement alternative.
For limited partnerships in which we are a general partner, the entities are generally well-capitalized and grant the limited partners substantive participating rights, such as the right to replace the general partner without cause, to dissolve or liquidate the partnership, to approve the sale or refinancing of the principal partnership assets, or to approve the acquisition of principal partnership assets. We account for such general partner interests at fair value or under the equity method.
For limited partnerships in which we are a limited partner, management has concluded we do not have a controlling interest in these limited partnerships. When we have an asset advisory contract with the limited partnership, the combination of our limited partner interest and the advisory agreement generally provides us with significant influence over the real estate limited partnership venture. Accordingly, we account for such investments under the equity method or at fair value if elected.
See "Principles of Consolidation" above for additional discussion of the accounting for our co-investments.
For investments reported at fair value, the investment balance is increased or decreased each reporting period by the difference between the fair value of the investment and the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. These fair value adjustments are reflected as gains or losses on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses. To the extent applicable, we estimate fair value of our investments using the net asset value ("NAV") per share (or its equivalent) our investees provide.
For investments in proptech companies, we primarily estimate the fair value based on the per-share pricing. Subsequent funding rounds or changes in the companies' business strategy/outlook are indicators of a change in fair value. The fair value of certain investments is estimated using significant unobservable inputs which requires judgment due to the absence of market data. In determining the estimated fair value of these investments, we utilize appropriate valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses, scorecard method, Black-Scholes models and other methods as appropriate. Key inputs include projected cash flows, discount rates, peer group multiples and volatility.
If we elect to apply the measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, we will measure them at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. An impairment loss would be recorded when an event or circumstance indicates a decline in value has occurred.
For investments accounted for under the equity method, we maintain an investment account that is (i) increased by contributions made and by our share of net income earned by the real estate ventures, and (ii) decreased by distributions received and by our share of net losses realized by the real estate ventures. Our share of each real estate venture's net income or loss, including gains and losses from capital transactions, is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses. We evaluate our investments accounted for under the equity method for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, or as events or changes in circumstances warrant such an evaluation. Our evaluations consider the existence of impairment indicators in the underlying real estate assets that compose the majority of our investments. We base such evaluations, in regard to both the investment and the investment’s underlying asset levels, on regular updates to future cash flow models, our share of co-investment cash flows, and factors such as operational performance, market conditions, major tenancy matters, legal and environmental concerns, and our ability and intent to hold
each investment. If an investment is considered other-than-temporarily impaired, we record the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value as an impairment charge.
Impairment charges to write down the carrying value of the real estate assets underlying our investments are generally based on the result of discounted cash flow models that primarily rely upon unobservable inputs to determine fair value. We recognize our proportionate share of such impairment within Equity earnings/losses on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
See Note 5, Investments, and Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on Investments.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") is an important element of our compensation programs. We determine the fair value of RSUs, subject only to service requirements, based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. PSUs are subject to service requirements and performance measures. All PSUs contain one or more performance conditions, such as a pre-defined target based on the Company’s cumulative earnings per share over a multi-year period. For certain executives there is an additional performance measure, a market condition, based on total shareholder return ("TSR") against a peer group. The number of shares that will be issued upon vesting of these PSUs can range from 0% to 200% of the target award, depending on the achievement of each performance condition. We determine the fair value of PSUs based on the (i) closing market price of our common stock on the grant date, (ii) the achievement probability for each performance condition, and (iii) the market condition valuation, as applicable, based on the output of Monte Carlo simulations. We periodically assess the achievement probability for performance conditions.
Employees of a specific age, with a sum of age plus years of service with the Company which meets or exceeds 65, based on the terms of the Jones Lang LaSalle 2019 Stock Award and Incentive Plan ("SAIP"), are eligible to be considered for receipt of retirement benefits upon departure from the Company. These award provisions, where applicable, require acceleration of compensation expense such that all expense is recognized by the time these employees are considered retirement eligible. We also have a "noncompensatory" Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") for U.S. employees.
We do not estimate forfeitures; instead, we recognize forfeitures in Compensation and benefits expense as they occur.
See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, for additional information on our stock-based compensation plans.
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
An increase or decrease in a deferred tax asset or liability that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes a change in our judgment about expected future tax consequences of events, would be included in the tax provision when the changes in circumstances and our judgment occurs. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established if we believe it is more-likely-than-not all or some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. An increase or decrease in a valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes a change in our judgment about the ability to realize the related deferred tax asset, would be included in the tax provision when the changes in circumstances and our judgment occurs.
See Note 8, Income Taxes, for additional information on income taxes.
Foreign Currency Derivatives and Hedging Activities
We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, in the normal course of business, we do use derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We record all derivatives on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Cash flows related to the derivatives are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the instrument’s nature.
For derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges, the derivative is marked-to-market each period with changes in unrealized gains or losses offset by the foreign currency translation of the net investment within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is sold or liquidated. The initial value of any excluded components from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. The interest accrual component of cross-currency swaps, which represents an excluded component, is reported directly in earnings as a component of Interest expense, net of interest income and within Operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
For derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship, the derivative is marked-to-market each period with changes in unrealized gains or losses offset by foreign currency gains and losses on associated intercompany loans and other foreign currency balances. Gains and losses from the revaluation of these contracts are recognized as a component of Operating, administrative and other expense and are offset by the gains and losses recognized on the revaluation of intercompany loans and other foreign currency balances such that the impact to net income was not significant for any of the three years ended December 31, 2025.
For presentation and disclosure, we net our exposure by counterparty for all counterparties subject to International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements.
We have considered the counterparty credit risk related to these derivative instruments and do not deem any counterparty credit risk to be material as of December 31, 2025. We enter transactions with high credit-quality financial institutions and monitor their credit ratings. This risk is also reduced due to the short-term nature of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
See Note 16, Foreign Currency Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information on foreign currency derivative financial instruments.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Certain loan commitments and forward sales commitments related to our Warehouse receivables meet the definition of a derivative and are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of loan commitments includes the fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing of the loan, other net cash flows associated with origination and sale of the loan, and the effects of market interest rate movements. The estimated fair value of forward sale commitments includes the effects of market interest rate movements. Therefore, the effect of market interest rate movements on estimated fair value offset between the loan commitments and the forward sale commitments. Adjustments to fair value related to loan and forward sale commitments are included within Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
See Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on mortgage banking derivatives.
Leases
Substantially all of our operating leases are related to office space we lease in various buildings for our own use. The terms of these non-cancelable operating leases typically require us to pay rent and a share of operating expenses and real estate taxes, generally with an inflation-based rent increase included. We also lease equipment under both operating and finance lease arrangements. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments (e.g. rent) over the lease term beginning at the commencement date. The Operating lease right-of-use assets are adjusted for lease incentives, deferred rent, and initial direct costs, if incurred. Our leases generally do not include an implicit rate; therefore, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future minimum lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the lease term and currency of lease payments for each lease. The related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As an accounting policy election, short-term leases (initial lease terms of 12 months or less) are not recognized as Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, Short-term borrowings, and Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our finance leases do not represent a significant portion of our leasing activity.
See Note 11, Leases, for additional information on leases.
Foreign Currency Translation
We prepare the financial statements of our subsidiaries located outside the U.S. using local currency as the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date with the resulting translation adjustments included as a separate component of equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Accumulated other comprehensive loss) and on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Other comprehensive income (loss)-foreign currency translation adjustments).
See Note 15, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), for additional information on the components of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. We include gains and losses from foreign currency transactions in net earnings as a component of Operating, administrative and other expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 we had net foreign currency transaction losses of $0.9 million, $1.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively.
The effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash is presented as a separate caption in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Cash Held for Others
We manage significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents in our role as agent for certain of our investment, facility management and property management clients. We do not include such amounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Taxes Collected from Clients and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
We account for tax assessed by a governmental authority that is based on a revenue or transaction value (i.e., sales, use and value-added taxes) on a net basis, excluded from revenue, and recorded as current liabilities until paid.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to disputes, lawsuits and taxes as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Our current insurance programs include professional, auto and general liability. The level of risk retained by our captive insurance company is limited per claim, inclusive of the deductible.
For professional indemnity coverage, we contract third-party insurance companies to provide coverage of risk in excess of the policy limits. We recognize the liability associated with a loss contingency when a loss is probable and estimable.
See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on commitments and contingencies.
Earnings Per Share; Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
The difference between basic weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding represents the dilutive impact of our common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares to be issued under employee stock-based compensation programs. Anti-dilutive shares were de minimis for all periods presented.
See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, for additional information on our stock-based compensation plans.
New Accounting Standards
Recently adopted accounting guidance
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the income tax disclosures to provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. We adopted this guidance for the annual period beginning January 1, 2025 and will adopt for the interim periods beginning January 1, 2026. This ASU resulted in expanded disclosures related to income taxes but did not have an impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
Recently issued accounting guidance, not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to expenses but will have no impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The practical expedient permits an entity to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient is available to all entities. The accounting policy election is only available to entities other than public business entities and is therefore not applicable to us. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect this would have on our financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The ASU aims to better align the accounting with how software is developed. Specifically, software development has shifted from using a prescriptive and sequential development method to using an incremental and iterative development method. This ASU makes targeted improvements to increase the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which requires entities to account for acquired loans that meet certain criteria (“purchased seasoned loans”) using the gross-up approach, aligning their treatment with purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. Under this approach, entities recognize the loans at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied prospectively to loans acquired on or after the initial application date. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants to business entities. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies interim reporting requirements under US GAAP for all entities preparing interim financial statements and notes. The ASU improves the navigability of Topic 270, specifies the form and content of interim financial statements and notes, provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and introduces a disclosure principle for condensed interim financial statements requiring disclosure of events with a material effect since the end of the previous annual period. This
ASU is effective for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, as part of its ongoing project to make minor amendments and clarifications to the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments address issues across a wide range of Topics and are intended to clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements without significant impact on current accounting practice or cost to most entities. The ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those years, with early adoption permitted on an issue-by-issue basis. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and unamortized intangibles as of December 31, 2025 consisted of: (i) Goodwill of $4,707.3 million, (ii) identifiable intangibles of $614.7 million to be amortized over their remaining finite useful lives and (iii) $52.0 million of identifiable intangibles with indefinite useful lives that are not amortized. 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.
In conjunction with our new organizational structure described more fully in Note 3, Business Segments, we reassessed our reporting units as of January 1, 2025. As a result of the changes in Real Estate Management Services and Leasing Advisory, we reassigned goodwill to these reporting units using a relative fair value approach. Under this methodology, the fair value of each impacted reporting unit was determined using a combination of the income approach and the market approach, and this resulting relative fair value was used to reassign the balance of goodwill.
We considered the change to Real Estate Management Services and Leasing Advisory reporting units a triggering event requiring the testing of our goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2025. We performed a quantitative test relying on the discounted cash flow ("DCF") method, an income approach, and a market approach in determining the estimated fair value of these reporting units. Our analysis relied on significant judgments and assumptions in determining the inputs, specifically, forecasted revenue growth, forecasted profitability margin and the discount rate used to present value the estimated future cash flows. Our analysis indicated that no impairment existed as the estimated fair value of both Real Estate Management Services and Leasing Advisory reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values.
The following table details, by reporting segment, movements in goodwill. As a result of reassigning goodwill, only activity in periods after the reassignment are disclosed.

Stock-Based Compensation
6.     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Stock Award and Incentive Plan ("SAIP") provides for the granting of various stock awards to eligible employees of JLL. These awards have historically been RSUs which generally vest over three years (either cliff or graded vesting) and PSUs which generally vest in three years (cliff vesting), subject to performance and/or market conditions.
There were approximately 1.5 million shares available for grant under the SAIP as of December 31, 2025.
Stock-based compensation expense, excluding expense related to retention awards issued in conjunction with acquisitions, is included within Compensation and benefits expense on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The expense related to retention awards issued in conjunction with acquisitions is included within Restructuring and acquisition charges.
Stock-based compensation expense by award type is presented below. In 2023, we recognized $13.5 million of stock-based compensation expense reversal associated with the expected achievement against performance measures of certain PSU awards.

Defined Contribution Plans
We have a qualified profit sharing plan subject to United States Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) for eligible U.S. employees. A plan participant is allowed to contribute between 1% to 50% of their compensation to the 401(k) plan, subject to limits imposed by the IRS. We make employer matching contributions under this qualified profit sharing plan that are reflected in Compensation and benefits in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For 2025, 2024 and 2023 we matched 100% on the first 3% of annual compensation contributed to the plan and 50% on the next 2%. The related trust assets of this plan are managed by trustees and are excluded from the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, we maintain several defined contribution retirement plans for eligible non-U.S. employees. The table below provides detail of employer contributions for these plans.

Defined Benefit Plans
We maintain five defined benefit pension plans across Europe. It is our policy to fund at least the minimum annual contributions as actuarially determined and as required by applicable laws and regulations. Our contributions to these plans are invested by the plan trustee and, if the investment performance is not sufficient, we may be required to provide additional contributions to cover any pension underfunding. Our largest plan has been closed to new entrants since 2013. The following table provides the projected benefit obligation and plan assets, the net of which represents our funded status, as well as the accumulated benefit obligations of our defined benefit pension plans.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Code contains two taxes, the Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax and Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income Tax, for which we treat any associated income tax as a period cost and record an expense provision for any year we are subject to the taxes. Accordingly, the estimated impacts of these taxes were included in our provision for income taxes for all periods presented.
Due to the generation of net operating loss carryovers, our current tax expense increased by $13.8 million, $36.0 million and $69.1 million in 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and our deferred tax expense was reduced by a corresponding amount.
We adopted ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, prospectively. As such, we have included the required expanded disclosures for the year ended December 31, 2025, while disclosures for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 reflect the previous disclosure requirements.
Income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 21% to earnings before provision for income taxes as a result of the following:

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes provisions
altering the timing of deduction from certain depreciable assets, research and experimental expenses, and interest expense,
with some effective in 2025 and some in 2026. The current period’s financial statements include the impact of the OBBBA
provisions effective for 2025, which are primarily in the nature of timing differences which do not impact this year's effective tax rate. The OBBBA further alters the determination and rates of taxation of international earnings, effective in 2026. We are still evaluating these provisions, which may decrease overall U.S. tax on international subsidiary income.

With respect to international earnings taxed at varying rates, we have operations which constitute a taxable income presence in over 93 countries or other taxable jurisdictions outside of the U.S. which are treated as such by the U.S. Internal Revenue Code. Of those countries or other taxable jurisdictions, 70 had income tax rates lower than the combined U.S. federal and state income tax rate in 2025, of which some are very low tax rate jurisdictions, with combined national and municipal state or provincial rates of 25% or lower. While the U.S. federal income tax rate is 21%, after factoring in the impact of state income taxes, we do not consider the U.S. to be a very low tax rate jurisdiction. With respect to very low tax rate jurisdictions in which we operate, income from Hong Kong (16.5%) and Singapore (17%) represent the most significant components of the international earnings line item in our effective tax rate reconciliation for 2024 and 2023.

The increase in gross deferred tax assets in 2025 was primarily the result of accrued expenses. The increase in valuation allowances was primarily the result of additional losses incurred in countries with existing valuation allowances.
We have not provided a deferred tax liability on the unremitted foreign earnings of international subsidiaries because it is our intent to permanently reinvest such earnings outside of the U.S. If repatriation of all such earnings were to occur, we would incur withholding taxes, dividend distribution taxes and potentially an amount of gain taxation which is not presently determinable.
As of December 31, 2025, we had an available U.S. federal net operating loss ("NOL") carryover of $78.1 million from acquired companies, for which we have established a full valuation allowance due to significant statutory limitations on its usage, and which will begin to expire in 2032. We have U.S. state NOL carryovers with a tax effect of $24.1 million, which expire at various dates through 2045, and international NOL carryovers of $1,449.8 million, which generally do not have expiration dates. The change in deferred tax balances for NOL carryovers from 2024 to 2025 included increases from current year losses and decreases from current year estimated utilization.
As of December 31, 2025, we believe it is more-likely-than-not the net deferred tax assets of $554.0 million will be realized based upon our estimates of future taxable income and the consideration of net operating losses, earnings trends and tax planning strategies. Valuation allowances have been provided with regard to the tax benefit of certain international NOL carryovers, for which we have concluded recognition is not yet appropriate. In 2025, we reduced valuation allowances by $9.9 million on some jurisdictions' NOLs due to the utilization or expiration of those losses; and we increased valuation allowances by $37.0 million for other jurisdictions based upon circumstances that caused us to establish or continue to provide valuation allowances on current or prior-year losses (including acquired NOL carryovers) in addition to those provided in prior years. The remaining movement in valuation allowances comparing December 31, 2025 to December 31, 2024 was attributable to the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

The recognition of tax benefits, and other changes to the amounts of our unrecognized tax benefits, may occur as the result of ongoing operations, the outcomes of audits or other examinations by tax authorities, or the passing of statutes of limitations. We do not expect changes to our unrecognized tax benefits to have a significant impact on our net income, financial position, or cash flows. We do not believe we have material tax positions for which the ultimate deductibility is highly certain but there is uncertainty about the timing of such deductibility.
We recognize interest accrued and penalties, if any, in Income tax provision on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the amount of interest expense and penalties was not material.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements
9.     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.
Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments include Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, Reimbursable receivables, Warehouse receivables, restricted cash, contract assets, Accounts payable, Reimbursable payables, Short-term borrowings, Commercial paper, contract liabilities, Warehouse facilities, Credit facility, Long-term debt and foreign currency derivatives. The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, Reimbursable receivables, restricted cash, contract assets, Accounts payable, Reimbursable payables, contract liabilities and the Warehouse facilities approximate their estimated fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying values of our Credit facility, Short-term borrowings, and Commercial paper approximate their estimated fair values given the variable interest rate terms and market spreads.
We estimated the fair value of our Long-term debt using dealer quotes that are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value and carrying value of our debt are presented in the following table.

Investments at Fair Value - Net Asset Value ("NAV")
We report a significant portion of our investments 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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses.
For a subset of our investments reported at fair value, we 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 (i) our understanding of the methodology utilized and inputs incorporated to estimate NAV at the investee level, (ii) consideration of market demand for the specific types of real estate assets held by each venture and (iii) contemplation of real estate and capital markets conditions in the localities in which these ventures operate. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, investments at fair value using NAV were $491.1 million and $367.9 million, respectively. As these investments are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy, they have been excluded from the following table.

Total liabilities at fair value$ 745.6 37.8 — 674.7 103.1 
Investments
We classify one investment as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as a quoted price is readily available. We increase or decrease our investment each reporting period by the change in the fair value of the investment. We report the fair value adjustments in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses.
Investments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy represent investments in early-stage non-public entities where we elected the fair value option. For most of our investments, the carrying value was deemed to approximate fair value due to the proximity of the investment date, or date of most recent financing raise, to the balance sheet date, as well as consideration of investee-level performance updates. The fair value of certain investments is estimated using significant unobservable inputs which requires judgment due to the absence of market data. In determining the estimated fair value of these investments, we utilize appropriate valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses, scorecard method, Black-Scholes models and other methods as appropriate. Key inputs include projected cash flows, discount rates, peer group multiples and volatility.
To the extent there are changes in fair value, we recognize such changes through Equity earnings/losses.
Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts
We use cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forward contracts in the normal course of business to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. We determine the fair values of these derivatives based on current market rates. The inputs for
these valuations are Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. We record the asset and liability positions for the contracts based on the net payable or net receivable position with the financial institutions from which we purchase these contracts.
See Note 16, Foreign Currency Derivatives and Hedging for additional details regarding these contracts.
Warehouse Receivables
The fair value of the Warehouse receivables is based on already locked-in security-buy prices. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of our Warehouse receivables included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets 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 and members of our Board of Directors 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 in the fair value hierarchy. We reflect this plan on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as Deferred compensation plan assets, long-term deferred compensation plan liabilities, included in Deferred compensation, and as a reduction of equity, Shares held in trust. The components of the plan are presented in the following table.
December 31,

Deferred compensation plan assets$723.6 664.0 
Long-term deferred compensation plan liabilities731.4 658.4 
Shares held in trust13.8 11.8 
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 probabilities 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 a probability of achievement would result in a higher fair value measurement. See Note 4, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional discussion of our Earn-out liabilities.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
In the normal course of business, we enter into simultaneous contractual commitments to originate and sell multi-family mortgage loans at fixed prices with fixed expiration dates. Commitments to borrowers become effective when the borrowers "lock-in" a specified interest rate and maximum principal balance for an established time frame (hereinafter referred to as an interest rate lock commitment or "IRLC"). All mortgagors are evaluated for creditworthiness prior to execution of an IRLC.
We are exposed to market interest risk (the risk of movement in market interest rates following the execution of an IRLC) until a loan is funded and onwards through delivery. To mitigate the effect of the interest rate risk inherent in providing IRLCs to borrowers, we simultaneously enter into a forward commitment to sell the eventual loan associated with the IRLC to a GSE or other investor. Similar to the IRLC, the forward sale commitment locks in an interest rate, maximum principal balance, and price for the sale of the loan. Ultimately, the terms of the forward sale commitment and the IRLC are matched in substantially all respects, with the objective of eliminating market interest rate and other balance sheet risk to the extent practical. As an additional element of protection, forward sale commitments extend for a longer period of time as compared to IRLCs to allow, among other things, for the closing of the loan and processing of paperwork to deliver the loan in accordance with the terms of the sale commitment.
The fair value of our IRLCs 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 IRLC and the balance sheet date based on applicable published U.S. Treasury rates.
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 nonperformance risk. An increase in nonperformance 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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The tables below present a reconciliation for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements
We review our investments, except those investments otherwise reported at fair value, on a quarterly basis, or as otherwise 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 exceeds 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. There were no significant other-than-temporary impairments during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025.

Commercial Paper Program
We maintain a commercial paper program (the "Program") in which we may issue up to $2.5 billion of short-term, unsecured and unsubordinated commercial paper notes at any time. Amounts available under the Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time. Notes issued under the Program will be sold under customary market terms in the U.S. commercial paper market at par less a discount representing an interest factor or, if interest bearing, at par. The maturities of the Program notes may vary but may not exceed 397 days from the date of issuance. We intend to use net proceeds of the Program for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of outstanding borrowings under our credit facilities.
Credit Facilities
We have a $3.3 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") that matures on November 3, 2028. Pricing on the unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Facility") ranges from Adjusted Term ("SOFR") plus 0.875% to 1.35%, with pricing including facility fees, as of December 31, 2025 at Adjusted Term SOFR plus 0.93%.
In addition, we have an uncommitted credit agreement (the "Uncommitted Facility"), which allows for discretionary short-term liquidity of up to $400.0 million. Interest and fees are set at the time of utilization and calculated on a 360-day basis. Between quarter-end dates, we intend to use the proceeds to reduce indebtedness under the Facility at a lower interest rate. As such, the Uncommitted Facility had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Short-Term and Long-Term Debt
In addition to our credit facilities, we had the capacity to borrow up to $58.6 million under local overdraft facilities as of December 31, 2025. Amounts outstanding are presented in the debt table above.
As of December 31, 2025, our issuer and senior unsecured ratings were investment grade: Baa1 from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and BBB+ from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.

We are party to a master repurchase agreement with a maximum capacity of $1.1 billion. Transactions executed under this agreement are accounted for as secured borrowings.
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, ultimate, sale back to Fannie Mae. The difference between the price paid upon the original sale to Fannie Mae and the ultimate sale reflects borrowing costs.

Commitments and Contingencies
13.    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.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
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 us, including our captive insurance company, with respect to professional indemnity claims, is up to $10.0 million per claim. 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 liabilities on our 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. There was no such receivable recorded as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, a receivable of $0.5 million was included in Notes and other receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table shows the professional indemnity accrual activity and related payments.

Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") Program Loan Loss-Sharing
As a participant in the DUS program, we retain a portion of the risk of loss for loans that are originated and sold under the DUS program. Net losses on defaulted loans are shared with Fannie Mae based upon established loss-sharing ratios. Generally, we share approximately one-third of incurred losses, subject to a cap of 20% of the principal balance of the mortgage at origination. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had loans, funded and sold, subject to loss-sharing arrangements with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $25.8 billion and $23.0 billion, respectively.
In June of 2025, we entered into an enhanced loss-sharing agreement with Fannie Mae associated with a specific three-loan portfolio. The agreement finalized our portion of the loss at $20.6 million, which we paid in 2025; as a result, there is no residual loss exposure for the subject loans. There were no material loan losses incurred for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. See "Financial Guarantees" section of Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for additional information.

Restructuring and acquisition charges include cash and non-cash expenses. Cash-based charges primarily consist of (i) severance and employment-related charges, including those related to external service providers, incurred in conjunction with a structural business shift, which can be represented by a notable change in headcount, change in leadership, or transformation of business processes, (ii) acquisition, transaction and integration-related charges and (iii) other restructuring charges. Non-cash charges include (i) stock-based compensation expense for retention awards issued in conjunction with prior-period acquisitions, (ii) fair value adjustments to earn-out liabilities relating to prior-period acquisition activity and (iii) asset impairment charges. Restructuring and acquisition charges are presented in the following table.

Derivatives and Fair Value
16.     FOREIGN CURRENCY DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
We use derivative financial instruments in the normal course of business to hedge foreign currency exchange rate risk. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
We enter into cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency exposure arising from our net investments in foreign operations. These swaps are designated as net investment hedges. The resulting gains and losses from these derivatives offset the foreign currency translation gains and losses on the associated net investments, both recorded as a component of AOCI. The initial value of any excluded components from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. The interest accrual component of cross-currency swaps is reported directly in earnings.
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts to manage our currency exchange rate risk related to intercompany lending and cash management practices. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. Gains and losses from the revaluation of these contracts are recognized as a component of Operating, administrative and other expense and are offset by the gains and losses recognized on the revaluation of intercompany loans and other foreign currency balances such that the impact to net income was not significant for any of the three years ended December 31, 2025.
We are exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance of the counterparties under the derivative contracts. We manage this risk by entering transactions with major financial institutions, monitoring their credit ratings and diversifying our positions across counterparties. Our derivatives are subject to a master netting arrangement that allow for net settlement of contracts with the same counterparties. There are currently no requirements for the Company to post collateral.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges to hedge the net investments of euro, Japanese yen, Swiss franc and Canadian dollar functional currency foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2025, the total notional of these swaps was $805.8 million which will mature between 2030 and 2035.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into forward contracts to hedge foreign currency risk that were not designated as hedges which generally have a maturity of less than 90 days. Forward contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2025 will mature on March 17, 2026. The following table details the gross notional value and net basis of these contracts.

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
Risk Management and Strategy
Like other companies with a large technology footprint and high-profile client base, we are regularly subject to cyberattacks. While certain attacks against us have been successful, thus far none have had a material impact on our or our clients' operations. To respond to the threat of cybersecurity breaches and cybersecurity attacks, we have developed and maintain a comprehensive global cybersecurity program. The program utilizes internal and external assessments to continually improve our overall cybersecurity posture and manage technology risk. Our cybersecurity strategy has implemented layered technical and administrative controls, which are aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) Cybersecurity Framework (“CSF”) to minimize both the frequency and severity of cybersecurity events. Specific to our external assessments, we routinely engage third-party consultants to assess our overall cybersecurity maturity and improve our ability to identify and manage material risks stemming from a cybersecurity event. Additionally, as a material cybersecurity incident can manifest from outside of the organization, JLL leverages security assessments and continuous monitoring to evaluate the security risk of third-party service providers.
In 2023, we established an executive management group responsible for determining the materiality of cybersecurity incidents and ensuring proper disclosure if required. While we have not experienced any material cybersecurity events to date, we acknowledge cybersecurity threats could significantly impact our business strategy, operations, or financial condition. In our commitment to reducing the frequency and severity of a cybersecurity event, we maintain a cybersecurity incident response plan and regularly conduct tabletop exercises to bolster our preparedness.
JLL's cybersecurity function has a risk management framework for cyber-related risks, detailing controls and improvements. The cybersecurity function provides regular updates to our Chief Risk Officer on cybersecurity threats, incidents, and JLL’s prevention, detection, mitigation, and remediation efforts for managing these risks. Our Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) program is designed to evaluate and monitor significant risks, including cybersecurity, and places them in JLL's overall risk framework. Our Global Executive Board and Audit and Risk Committee receive regular reporting on cyber risks and mitigation from both ERM and the cybersecurity function.
We maintain a cyber risk insurance policy, but costs related to cybersecurity threats or disruptions may not be fully insured. We acknowledge that successful cyberattacks could result in substantial costs, liability, reputational harm and significant remediation expenses. For additional information on material cybersecurity risks, refer to our discussion in the "Operational Risk Factors" section of Item 1A, Risk Factors, of this report.

Cybersecurity Risk Board of Directors Oversight [Text Block]
Governance
Our Management and the Board of Directors provide significant oversight of cybersecurity risks. Since 2022, the Board expanded the Audit and Risk Committee’s charter to include cybersecurity and information technology readiness. In addition, the Audit Committee was renamed to the “Audit and Risk Committee” to more accurately align with its responsibility to assist the Board in overseeing our policies, program and related risks identified as part of the enterprise risk management framework and cybersecurity and information technology.
Further enhancing our cybersecurity governance, in 2024, the Board formally established the Cybersecurity Subcommittee of the Audit and Risk Committee. This subcommittee meets on a quarterly basis with management and regularly reports to the Audit and Risk Committee, providing an additional layer of specialized oversight on cybersecurity and information technology matters.
Management’s role in executing our cybersecurity strategy is led by our Global Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) and our Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”) both with over twenty years’ experience in large institutions. Our CISO leads our cybersecurity program, holds a master's degree in business administration and has over twenty years of relevant experience, including cybersecurity and enterprise security leadership roles in Financial Services and within the Department of Defense. Our CISO reports to our CIO who is responsible for the development and implementation of our technology, data and information management strategy. Our CIO's educational background includes a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in industrial engineering – operations research, providing a strong foundation for work in technology, data management, data science and analytics.
Management’s Cybersecurity Governance Committee, established in 2022, comprises senior executives representing several business segments and corporate functions. It provides an additional level of oversight for cybersecurity policies and serves as a formal channel to communicate cybersecurity decisions with our Global Executive Board.
The Audit and Risk Committee, its Cybersecurity Subcommittee, and management’s Cybersecurity Governance Committee receive regular reports on our information security program, including top risks, strategy, controls, improvement projects, metrics, and training protocols. Reports are also shared with the full Board of Directors.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Summary of SIgnificant Accounting Policies (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2025
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Consolidation, Subsidiaries or Other Investments, Consolidated Entities, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Principles of Consolidation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and include the accounts of JLL and its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Investments over which we exercise significant influence, but do not control, are accounted for either at fair value or under the equity method.
When applying principles of consolidation, we begin by determining whether an investee entity is a variable interest entity ("VIE") or a voting interest entity. U.S. GAAP draws a distinction between voting interest entities, which are embodied by common and traditional corporate and certain partnership structures, and VIEs, broadly defined as entities for which control is achieved through means other than voting rights. For voting interest entities, the interest holder with control through majority ownership and majority voting rights consolidates the entity. For VIEs, determination of the "primary beneficiary" dictates the accounting treatment. We identify the primary beneficiary of a VIE as the enterprise having both (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We perform the primary beneficiary analysis as of the inception of our investment and upon the occurrence of a reconsideration event. When we determine we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, we consolidate the VIE; when we determine we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE, we account for our investment in the VIE at fair value or under the equity method, based upon an election made at the time of investment.
Our determination of the appropriate accounting method to apply for unconsolidated investments is based on the level of influence we have in the underlying entity. When we have an asset advisory contract with a real estate limited partnership in which we also hold an ownership interest, the combination of our limited partner interest and the advisory agreement generally provides us with significant influence over such real estate limited partnership. Accordingly, we account for such investments either at the equity method or fair value if elected. We eliminate transactions with such subsidiaries to the extent of our ownership in such subsidiaries.
For less-than-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, noncontrolling interest is the portion of equity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to JLL. We evaluate whether noncontrolling interests possess any redemption features outside of our control. If such features exist, the noncontrolling interests are presented outside of permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets within Redeemable noncontrolling interest. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted to the greater of their fair value or carrying value as of each balance sheet date through a charge to Additional paid-in capital, if necessary. We had no such redeemable noncontrolling interest as of December 31, 2025 or 2024. When noncontrolling interests have no redemption features outside of our control, noncontrolling interests are presented as a component of permanent equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We report revenues, expenses and net income/loss from less-than-wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries at the consolidated amounts, including both the amounts attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interests; the income or loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders is reflected in Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period. Such estimates include the value and allocation of purchase consideration, valuation of accounts receivable, Reimbursable receivables, Warehouse receivables, Investments, Goodwill, intangible assets, derivative financial instruments, other long-lived assets, earn-out liabilities, legal contingencies, assumptions used in the calculation of income taxes, incentive compensation, self-insurance program liabilities, and retirement and other post-employment benefits, among others.
These estimates and assumptions are based on management's best estimate and judgment. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We adjust such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Market factors, such as illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can increase the uncertainty in such estimates and assumptions. Because future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. Although actual amounts may differ from such estimated amounts, we believe such differences are not likely to be material.

Real Estate Management Services
Workplace Management
Workplace Management provides comprehensive, on-site day-to-day real estate management services to corporations and institutions across a broad range of industries that outsource the management of the real estate they occupy. Contract pricing can include multiple elements, such as a management fee or an incentive fee or other form of variable consideration. In addition, these fees may be inclusive of – or distinct from – the reimbursement of costs related to client-dedicated personnel, subcontractors and third-party vendors for which we are reimbursed. When distinct, such costs are reimbursed separately from our management fee.
Management fees are typically structured as a fixed monthly price for an agreed-upon scope of work or are determined by applying a contractual markup to spend associated with fulfilling our Workplace Management contracts. As these fees represent a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time, we recognize revenue each period for fees related to the services we perform.
Many contracts also include variable consideration, which is typically earned as an incentive fee when we perform favorably with respect to agreed-upon key performance indicators ("KPI"), but may also be structured as an at-risk fee where we are penalized for failing to achieve a KPI. Examples of KPIs include shared savings targets, service quality benchmarks, timely work order completion statistics and client satisfaction scores. Regardless of the upside or downside nature, we assess variable consideration independently for each contract and, when appropriate, recognize such fees as revenue when the achievement of the KPI is probable and material reversal of such revenue is unlikely.
Because we control and direct the work of client-dedicated employees, we present the associated compensation and benefits expense as well as the corresponding revenue gross on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Similarly, when we act as principal with respect to third-party vendors and subcontractors engaged to deliver operational services to our client, we control and direct these third-party activities prior to the transfer of services to the client and accordingly present the costs we are reimbursed for as well as the corresponding revenue as gross. For contracts where we do not control and direct third-party services delivered to the client, we act as the client’s agent and report revenue net of such costs.
Project Management
Project Management provides construction-related services, primarily short-term in nature, ranging from development and design to general contracting and project management for owners and occupiers of real estate. Depending on the terms of our engagement, our performance obligation is either to arrange for the completion of a project or to assume responsibility for completing a project on behalf of a client. Our obligations to clients are satisfied over time due to the continuous transfer of control of the underlying asset. Therefore, we recognize revenue over time, generally using input measures (e.g., to-date costs incurred relative to total estimated costs at completion).
Typically, we are entitled to consideration at distinct milestones over the term of an engagement. For certain contracts where we assume responsibility for completing a project, we control the services provided by third-party vendors and subcontractors prior to transfer of the assets to the client. In these situations, the third-party costs incurred on behalf of clients, along with the associated reimbursement revenue, are presented gross on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. In contrast, where we act as agent on behalf of clients, third-party costs incurred and the associated revenue are presented net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Property Management
Property Management provides on-site day-to-day real estate management services for owners of office, industrial, retail, multifamily residential and various other types of properties, representing a series of daily performance obligations delivered over time. Pricing is generally in the form of a monthly management fee based upon property-level cash receipts, square footage under management or some other variable metric.
Although we are principal in certain situations, we generally act as agent on behalf of our Property Management clients in relation to third-party vendors and subcontractors engaged to deliver operational services to our clients' properties. In these situations, we arrange, but do not control, the services provided by third party vendors and subcontractors prior to the transfer of the services to the client. As a result, the third-party costs incurred on behalf of clients, along with the corresponding revenue, are presented net on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Portfolio Services and Other
Portfolio Services and Other includes a variety of different service offerings, including advising clients on how to optimize their workplace strategies and occupancy planning efforts, and overall portfolio strategy management and administration for our clients. Our performance obligation is to provide services as specified in the contract. For event-driven point-in-time transactions, we record revenue when our performance obligation is complete, such as the delivery of a report to the client, whereas revenue is recorded over time for services with a continuous transfer of control to our clients.
Leasing Advisory
Leasing
Leasing revenue is earned from brokerage commissions as we represent tenants and/or landlords in connection with real estate leases. Our performance obligation is to facilitate the execution of a lease agreement, which is satisfied at a point in time, upon lease execution. Generally, we are either entitled to the full consideration upon lease execution or in part upon lease execution with the remainder upon the occurrence of a future event outside of our control (e.g., tenant occupancy, lease commencement, or rent commencement). The majority of the events that preclude our entitlement to the full consideration upon lease execution are considered to be "normal course of business" and, therefore, do not result in a constraint upon the recognition of revenue. In the infrequent instance our fee entitlement in a contract with a customer is predicated on the occurrence of a future event(s) uncertain of occurring, we constrain the recognition of revenue until the uncertainty is resolved or the future event occurs. Generally, less than 5% of our Leasing revenue recognized in a period had previously been constrained.
Advisory, Consulting and Other
Advisory, Consulting and Other includes a variety of different service offerings, whereby our performance obligation is to provide services as specified in the contract. Occasionally, our entitlement to consideration is predicated on the occurrence of an event such as the delivery of a report to the client. However, except for event-driven point-in-time transactions, the majority of services provided within this service line are delivered over time due to the continuous transfer of control to our clients.
Capital Markets Services
Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other
We provide brokerage and other services for capital transactions, such as real estate sales or loan originations and refinancings. Our performance obligation is to facilitate the execution of capital transactions, and we are generally entitled to the full consideration at the point in time upon which our performance obligation is satisfied, at which time we recognize revenue. In addition, revenue related to mortgage servicing rights ("MSR" or "MSRs") and loan origination fees are reported within Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other.
Value and Risk Advisory
Value and Risk Advisory service offerings include (but are not limited to) asset appraisal, business valuation, property tax advisory, complex litigation and environmental property consulting. Our performance obligation is to provide services as specified in the contract and our pricing is negotiated based on the scale and complexity of each assignment. Typically, our entitlement to consideration is predicated on the occurrence of an event such as the delivery of an appraisal or report to the client.
Loan Servicing
We service substantially all the loans we originate and sell, and service loans we did not originate but subsequently acquire the rights to service. We obtain a periodic fee for each loan we service based on a proportion of the cash collections.
Capital Markets Services revenue excluded from the scope of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC Topic 606")
Our mortgage banking and servicing operations, comprised of (i) all Loan Servicing revenue and (ii) activities related to MSRs and loan origination fees (included in Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other), are not considered revenue from contracts with customers, and accordingly are excluded from the scope of ASC Topic 606. Such out-of-scope revenue is presented below.
Year Ended December 31,

Revenue excluded from scope of ASC Topic 606$360.8 325.9 286.3 
Investment Management
Investment Management provides real estate investment management services to clients and generally earns consideration in the form of advisory fees, transaction fees and incentive fees. Typically, our performance obligation is to manage clients’ capital for a specified period of time and is delivered as a series of daily performance obligations over time. Revenue recognition for transaction fees and incentive fees is generally constrained until all contingencies have cleared due to the possibility of a significant reversal. Revenue is recognized upon completion of the events necessary to realize the associated consideration. Substantially all incentive fees recognized as revenue were previously constrained.
Software and Technology Solutions
Software and Technology Solutions offers multiple cloud-based software solutions that generate value for investors and businesses by enabling higher-quality decision-making through improved data and analytics. We recognize cloud-based software revenue over time commensurate with the length and terms of the contract. In addition, we offer professional services such as program and project management, implementation and support, managed services, and advisory services. We recognize professional services revenue at the time our performance obligation is satisfied.
Effective January 1, 2026, the Software and Technology Solutions segment will merge into Real Estate Management Services with results of operations reported as a subsegment within Real Estate Management Services.
Contract Costs
Expenses, primarily employee commissions, incurred on leasing and capital markets transactions represent substantially all our incremental costs to obtain revenue contracts. We apply the applicable practical expedient offered by ASC Topic 606 when the amortization period is one year or less and, therefore, recognize these costs as an operating expense as they are incurred.
We also incur costs to fulfill revenue contracts, primarily related to transition costs incurred prior to delivering Property Management and Workplace Management services. These costs are not expensed as incurred but are deferred and amortized as an operating expense over the expected life of the contract in accordance with the transfer of related services. Contract costs that are recognized as assets are reviewed for impairment when events and changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Contract Assets and Liabilities
Contract assets include amounts recognized as revenue for which we are not yet entitled to payment for reasons other than the passage of time, but that do not constrain revenue recognition. We include Contract assets in our reserving process and assess the risk of loss similar to our methodology for Trade receivables, since Contract assets are reclassified to Trade receivables when we become entitled to payment. Accordingly, a reserve is applied upon recognition of the contract asset. Our contract assets, net of allowance, are included in Short-term contract assets and Other assets.
Contract liabilities include advance payments we have received which relate to performance obligations we have not yet satisfied. The majority of contract liabilities are recognized as revenue within 90 days. Our contract liabilities are included in Short-term contract liabilities and deferred income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Such contract assets and liabilities are presented below.
(in millions)December 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Contract assets, gross$407.1 388.3 
Contract asset allowance(3.9)(3.9)
Contract assets, net$403.2 384.4 
Contract liabilities$187.3 154.7 
Deferred Income
Deferred income includes payments received from customers for which we have satisfied our performance obligations but are not yet able to recognize the related revenue because of contractual requirements.
Remaining Performance Obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate transaction price for contracts where our performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. As of December 31, 2025, the aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations represented an insignificant amount of our total revenue. In accordance with ASC Topic 606, excluded from the aforementioned remaining performance obligations are (i) amounts attributable to contracts expected to be completed within 12 months and (ii) variable consideration for services performed as a series of daily performance obligations, such as facilities management, property management, and Investment Management contracts. Contracts within these businesses represent a significant portion of our contracts with customers not expected to be completed within 12 months.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly-liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or fewer to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.
Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block]
Financing Receivables
We account for Trade receivables, Notes and other receivables, Long-term receivables, Reimbursable receivables, and Warehouse receivables as financing receivables.
Trade Receivables
Pursuant to contractual arrangements, Trade receivables, net of allowances include unbilled amounts of $612.8 million and $625.3 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We estimate the allowance necessary to provide for uncollectible Trade receivables. We base this estimate on historical collection experience combined with a review of current developments and economic conditions. The process by which we calculate the allowance is formulaic and driven by the age profile of the receivables. We then review these allowances on a quarterly basis to ensure they are appropriate. After all collection efforts have been exhausted by management, the outstanding balance considered not collectible is written off against the allowance.
The following table details the changes in the allowance for uncollectible Trade receivables.

Trade Receivables - Factoring [Policy Text Block]
Trade Receivables - Factoring
We participate in certain clients' trade receivables factoring programs in which we elect and sell Trade and Reimbursable receivables to unaffiliated financial institutions on a non-recourse basis. We account for the transfer of the receivables as a true sale in accordance with ASC Topic 860 at the point control is transferred (after which we have no continuing involvement) and, accordingly, the sold receivables are excluded from Trade or Reimbursable receivables in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Cash flows attributable to factoring are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Factoring fees are included as Operating, administrative and other expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The aggregate amount of factoring fees on the sale of trade receivables was not material during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025.
Notes and Other Recievables and Long-Term Receivables [Policy Text Block]
Notes and Other Receivables and Long-Term Receivables
We make ongoing assessments of the collectability of outstanding Notes and other receivables and Long-term receivables, considering both objective and subjective factors such as the aging profile of outstanding balances, the contractual terms of repayment, and credit quality. To the extent that receivables share similar characteristics, these are assessed on a collective basis. Aspects of credit quality considered in our assessments of collectability include historical experience, current and expected economic conditions, and our broader business relationship with the obligor. We record an allowance against the outstanding balance when our assessments determine payment has become unlikely. After all collection efforts have been exhausted by management, the outstanding balance is written off against the reserve. Historically, credit quality deterioration to the point of impairment or non-performance in our Notes and other receivables and Long-term receivables has not had a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Reimbursable Receivables [Policy Text Block]
Reimbursable Receivables
We recognize Reimbursable receivables for costs incurred on behalf of clients, primarily while performing property & facility management services. These costs include direct reimbursements, primarily payroll and third-party vendor and subcontractor costs. We record an allowance based on specific identification of an uncollectible reimbursable receivable, considering current and future economic conditions as well as client credit quality. Historically, we have not experienced any material collection issues and, as such, have not applied a formulaic reserve to these receivables. Reimbursable receivables relate to our Reimbursable payables, which are typically satisfied on a pay-when-paid basis.
Warehouse Receivables [Policy Text Block]
Warehouse Receivables
We classify Warehouse receivables as held-for-sale as they represent originated mortgage loans for which we have simultaneously executed commitments to sell to a third-party investor, primarily the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), and the Government National Mortgage Association (Ginnie Mae). These loans (also referred to as "Warehouse receivables") are funded directly to borrowers by our Warehouse facilities and are generally repaid within a 45-day period after origination when the third-party investor buys the loan(s); upon surrender of control over each loan, we account for the transfer as a sale. Warehouse receivables are measured and reported at fair value in accordance with our entity-wide election of the fair value option. As such, increases or decreases in the fair value of loans are recognized as Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Historically, we have not experienced credit quality deterioration or uncollectible balances with respect to our Warehouse receivables.
We generally retain certain servicing rights upon sale of the mortgage loan (refer to the Mortgage Servicing Rights section below). We typically retain no exposure for credit losses on loans subsequent to sale, except for loans under Fannie Mae's Delegated Underwriting and Servicing ("DUS") program. See the following section, Financial Guarantees, as well as Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on the risk of loss retained related to DUS program loans.
Contractually specified servicing fees related to sold warehouse receivables and loans serviced for others were $168.4 million, $160.0 million and $152.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including prepayment and late fees totaling $4.2 million, $2.6 million, and $4.2 million, respectively, and are included in Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Placement fees totaling $82.6 million, $90.9 million, and $79.6 million earned for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, were also recorded in Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Financial Guarantees [Policy Text Block]
Financial Guarantees
Certain loans we originate and sell under the Fannie Mae DUS program retain a percentage of the risk of loss. This loss-sharing aspect of the program represents an off-balance sheet credit exposure, and we have established a contingent reserve ("loan loss guarantee reserve") for this risk in accordance with ASC Topic 326. To estimate the reserve, we use a model that analyzes historical losses, current and expected economic conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The model also considers specific details of the underlying property used as collateral, such as occupancy and financial performance. Loans are evaluated collectively based on vintage, which captures similar risk characteristics. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the loan loss guarantee reserve was $29.9 million and $28.5 million, respectively, and was included within Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
For all DUS program loans with loss-sharing obligations, we record a non-contingent liability 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 liability is amortized over the estimated life of the loan and recognized as Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The loss-sharing guarantee obligation (in accordance with ASC Topic 460, Guarantees) is separate from the loan loss guarantee reserve discussed above. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, loss-sharing guarantee obligations were $30.4 million and $30.0 million, respectively, and was included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for further information on the DUS program.
Mortgage Servicing Rights [Policy Text Block]
Mortgage Servicing Rights
We generally retain servicing rights in connection with the origination and sale of Warehouse receivables. We initially record MSRs based on the fair value of these rights on the date the loans are sold, which could result in net gains which we recognize as Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $458.2 million and $471.1 million, respectively, of MSRs carried at the lower of amortized cost or fair value in Identified intangibles on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The total unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of loans making up the servicing portfolio was $140.3 billion and $140.1 billion as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
We amortize servicing rights over the estimated period net servicing income is projected to be received. In addition, we evaluate MSR intangible assets for impairment on a quarterly basis, or more frequently if circumstances or events indicate a change in fair value. Other than write-offs due to prepayments of sold Warehouse receivables for which we retained the servicing rights, there have been no significant instances of impairment during the three-year period ended December 31, 2025. However, an increase in loan prepayment activity or deterioration in the credit quality of borrowers could result in a decrease to our MSR balance. MSRs do not actively trade in an open market with readily available observable prices; therefore, if necessary, the fair value of these rights are determined in part based on certain assumptions and judgments that are unobservable within the fair value hierarchy. Specifically, the fair value of the MSRs is determined using a discounted cash flow model incorporating assumptions, including a conditional prepayment rate and cost of service. The estimated fair value of MSRs was $666.7 million and $708.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
See Note 4, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information on MSRs.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of cash amounts set aside to satisfy legal or contractual requirements arising in the normal course of business. We are restricted in our ability to withdraw these funds other than for their specified use.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Property and Equipment
We record property and equipment at cost and depreciate these assets over their relevant useful lives. We capitalize certain direct costs relating to internal-use software when incurred during the development phase.
We evaluate property and equipment for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. We record an impairment loss to the extent the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. We did not recognize any significant impairment losses related to property and equipment during the three years ended December 31, 2025.
We calculate depreciation on property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of our assets. Depreciation expense related to property and equipment for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 was $201.8 million, $189.5 million and $168.7 million, respectively. The following table shows the gross value of major asset categories and the standard depreciable lives for each of these asset categories as of December 31, 2025.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
We have historically grown, in part, through a series of acquisitions. Consistent with the services nature of the majority of businesses we have acquired, we have recognized significant goodwill and intangible assets resulting from these acquisitions. Intangible assets are initially recorded at their respective acquisition date fair values and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. They primarily represent customer relationships, management contracts and customer backlogs acquired as part of our acquisitions.
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually on July 1st of each year or when a triggering event occurs. In our annual goodwill impairment evaluation on July 1, 2025, we considered qualitative and quantitative factors and determined it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of each reporting unit is less than their carrying value. In performing our assessments of all reporting units, we primarily considered (i) macroeconomic and industry trends, (ii) our overall financial performance, and nature of the key drivers thereof, during the year at both the reporting unit and consolidated reporting levels, (iii) near and longer-term forecasts of financial results and cash flows generated by our reporting units in relation to the carrying values of the net assets of each reporting unit, and (iv) our market capitalization in relation to the aggregate carrying value of our net assets.
In addition to our annual impairment evaluation, we evaluated whether events or circumstances have occurred in the period subsequent to our annual impairment testing and determined it is not more-likely-than-not that the fair value of all our reporting units are less than their respective carrying values. It is possible our determination that goodwill for a reporting unit is not impaired could change in the future if current economic or other conditions deteriorate. We will continue to monitor the relationship between our market capitalization and carrying value, as well as the ability of our reporting units to deliver current and projected earnings and cash flows sufficient to support the carrying values of the net assets of their respective businesses.
We evaluate our Identified intangibles for impairment annually or more frequently if other events or circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired.
See Note 4, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional information on business combinations, goodwill and other intangible assets.
Equity Method Investments [Policy Text Block]
Investments
We invest in certain ventures that primarily own and operate commercial real estate on a global basis across a wide array of sectors including retail, residential and office. Historically, these investments have primarily been co-investments in funds our Investment Management business establishes in the ordinary course of business for its clients. These investments take the form of equity ownership interests generally ranging from less than 1% to 10% of the respective ventures and, based upon investment-specific objectives, have generally included five to nine-year investment periods. Typically, our investments are not redeemable until the earlier of the disposition of the underlying real estate investments or the end of the fund's life. When in place, such restrictions are a result of our role beyond that of a passive investor, which generally means an advisory or management responsibility on behalf of the other investors who are typically clients of our Investment Management business. We account for these investments at fair value or under the equity method of accounting as further discussed below.
In addition to our LaSalle investments, we have strategic investments in early to mid-stage Proptech companies as well as proptech funds to improve our strategic position within the real estate technology landscape, including investments through the JLL Spark Global Ventures Funds. We account for a majority of these investments at fair value. Certain investments are accounted for under the measurement alternative.
For limited partnerships in which we are a general partner, the entities are generally well-capitalized and grant the limited partners substantive participating rights, such as the right to replace the general partner without cause, to dissolve or liquidate the partnership, to approve the sale or refinancing of the principal partnership assets, or to approve the acquisition of principal partnership assets. We account for such general partner interests at fair value or under the equity method.
For limited partnerships in which we are a limited partner, management has concluded we do not have a controlling interest in these limited partnerships. When we have an asset advisory contract with the limited partnership, the combination of our limited partner interest and the advisory agreement generally provides us with significant influence over the real estate limited partnership venture. Accordingly, we account for such investments under the equity method or at fair value if elected.
See "Principles of Consolidation" above for additional discussion of the accounting for our co-investments.
For investments reported at fair value, the investment balance is increased or decreased each reporting period by the difference between the fair value of the investment and the carrying value as of the balance sheet date. These fair value adjustments are reflected as gains or losses on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses. To the extent applicable, we estimate fair value of our investments using the net asset value ("NAV") per share (or its equivalent) our investees provide.
For investments in proptech companies, we primarily estimate the fair value based on the per-share pricing. Subsequent funding rounds or changes in the companies' business strategy/outlook are indicators of a change in fair value. The fair value of certain investments is estimated using significant unobservable inputs which requires judgment due to the absence of market data. In determining the estimated fair value of these investments, we utilize appropriate valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses, scorecard method, Black-Scholes models and other methods as appropriate. Key inputs include projected cash flows, discount rates, peer group multiples and volatility.
If we elect to apply the measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values, we will measure them at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. An impairment loss would be recorded when an event or circumstance indicates a decline in value has occurred.
For investments accounted for under the equity method, we maintain an investment account that is (i) increased by contributions made and by our share of net income earned by the real estate ventures, and (ii) decreased by distributions received and by our share of net losses realized by the real estate ventures. Our share of each real estate venture's net income or loss, including gains and losses from capital transactions, is reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income within Equity earnings/losses. We evaluate our investments accounted for under the equity method for other-than-temporary impairment on a quarterly basis, or as events or changes in circumstances warrant such an evaluation. Our evaluations consider the existence of impairment indicators in the underlying real estate assets that compose the majority of our investments. We base such evaluations, in regard to both the investment and the investment’s underlying asset levels, on regular updates to future cash flow models, our share of co-investment cash flows, and factors such as operational performance, market conditions, major tenancy matters, legal and environmental concerns, and our ability and intent to hold
each investment. If an investment is considered other-than-temporarily impaired, we record the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value as an impairment charge.
Impairment charges to write down the carrying value of the real estate assets underlying our investments are generally based on the result of discounted cash flow models that primarily rely upon unobservable inputs to determine fair value. We recognize our proportionate share of such impairment within Equity earnings/losses on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
See Note 5, Investments, and Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on Investments.
Share-based Payment Arrangement [Policy Text Block]
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation in the form of restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance stock units ("PSUs") is an important element of our compensation programs. We determine the fair value of RSUs, subject only to service requirements, based on the closing market price of our common stock on the grant date. PSUs are subject to service requirements and performance measures. All PSUs contain one or more performance conditions, such as a pre-defined target based on the Company’s cumulative earnings per share over a multi-year period. For certain executives there is an additional performance measure, a market condition, based on total shareholder return ("TSR") against a peer group. The number of shares that will be issued upon vesting of these PSUs can range from 0% to 200% of the target award, depending on the achievement of each performance condition. We determine the fair value of PSUs based on the (i) closing market price of our common stock on the grant date, (ii) the achievement probability for each performance condition, and (iii) the market condition valuation, as applicable, based on the output of Monte Carlo simulations. We periodically assess the achievement probability for performance conditions.
Employees of a specific age, with a sum of age plus years of service with the Company which meets or exceeds 65, based on the terms of the Jones Lang LaSalle 2019 Stock Award and Incentive Plan ("SAIP"), are eligible to be considered for receipt of retirement benefits upon departure from the Company. These award provisions, where applicable, require acceleration of compensation expense such that all expense is recognized by the time these employees are considered retirement eligible. We also have a "noncompensatory" Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") for U.S. employees.
We do not estimate forfeitures; instead, we recognize forfeitures in Compensation and benefits expense as they occur.
See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, for additional information on our stock-based compensation plans.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Income Taxes
We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in our consolidated financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, we determine deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.
An increase or decrease in a deferred tax asset or liability that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes a change in our judgment about expected future tax consequences of events, would be included in the tax provision when the changes in circumstances and our judgment occurs. Deferred income taxes also reflect the impact of operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance is established if we believe it is more-likely-than-not all or some portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. An increase or decrease in a valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and that causes a change in our judgment about the ability to realize the related deferred tax asset, would be included in the tax provision when the changes in circumstances and our judgment occurs.
See Note 8, Income Taxes, for additional information on income taxes.
Derivatives, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Foreign Currency Derivatives and Hedging Activities
We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. However, in the normal course of business, we do use derivative financial instruments in the form of foreign currency forward contracts and cross-currency swaps to manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk. We record all derivatives on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. Cash flows related to the derivatives are classified in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows based on the instrument’s nature.
For derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges, the derivative is marked-to-market each period with changes in unrealized gains or losses offset by the foreign currency translation of the net investment within Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI"). Amounts are reclassified out of AOCI into earnings when the hedged net investment is sold or liquidated. The initial value of any excluded components from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized using a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument. The interest accrual component of cross-currency swaps, which represents an excluded component, is reported directly in earnings as a component of Interest expense, net of interest income and within Operating activities on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
For derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship, the derivative is marked-to-market each period with changes in unrealized gains or losses offset by foreign currency gains and losses on associated intercompany loans and other foreign currency balances. Gains and losses from the revaluation of these contracts are recognized as a component of Operating, administrative and other expense and are offset by the gains and losses recognized on the revaluation of intercompany loans and other foreign currency balances such that the impact to net income was not significant for any of the three years ended December 31, 2025.
For presentation and disclosure, we net our exposure by counterparty for all counterparties subject to International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements.
We have considered the counterparty credit risk related to these derivative instruments and do not deem any counterparty credit risk to be material as of December 31, 2025. We enter transactions with high credit-quality financial institutions and monitor their credit ratings. This risk is also reduced due to the short-term nature of the forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
See Note 16, Foreign Currency Derivatives and Hedging, for additional information on foreign currency derivative financial instruments.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Certain loan commitments and forward sales commitments related to our Warehouse receivables meet the definition of a derivative and are recorded at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The estimated fair value of loan commitments includes the fair value of the expected net cash flows associated with servicing of the loan, other net cash flows associated with origination and sale of the loan, and the effects of market interest rate movements. The estimated fair value of forward sale commitments includes the effects of market interest rate movements. Therefore, the effect of market interest rate movements on estimated fair value offset between the loan commitments and the forward sale commitments. Adjustments to fair value related to loan and forward sale commitments are included within Revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
See Note 9, Fair Value Measurements, for additional information on mortgage banking derivatives.
Lessee, Leases [Policy Text Block]
Leases
Substantially all of our operating leases are related to office space we lease in various buildings for our own use. The terms of these non-cancelable operating leases typically require us to pay rent and a share of operating expenses and real estate taxes, generally with an inflation-based rent increase included. We also lease equipment under both operating and finance lease arrangements. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at contract inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments (e.g. rent) over the lease term beginning at the commencement date. The Operating lease right-of-use assets are adjusted for lease incentives, deferred rent, and initial direct costs, if incurred. Our leases generally do not include an implicit rate; therefore, we use an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date in determining the present value of future minimum lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate reflects the lease term and currency of lease payments for each lease. The related lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As an accounting policy election, short-term leases (initial lease terms of 12 months or less) are not recognized as Operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Rent expense for short-term leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred.
Finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, Short-term borrowings, and Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our finance leases do not represent a significant portion of our leasing activity.
See Note 11, Leases, for additional information on leases.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]
Foreign Currency Translation
We prepare the financial statements of our subsidiaries located outside the U.S. using local currency as the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange as of the balance sheet date with the resulting translation adjustments included as a separate component of equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (Accumulated other comprehensive loss) and on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Other comprehensive income (loss)-foreign currency translation adjustments).
See Note 15, Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss), for additional information on the components of Accumulated other comprehensive loss.
Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange. We include gains and losses from foreign currency transactions in net earnings as a component of Operating, administrative and other expense. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 we had net foreign currency transaction losses of $0.9 million, $1.5 million and $10.6 million, respectively.
The effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes on Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash is presented as a separate caption in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Cash Held for Others [Policy Text Block]
Cash Held for Others
We manage significant amounts of cash and cash equivalents in our role as agent for certain of our investment, facility management and property management clients. We do not include such amounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Taxes Collected from Clients and Remitted to Governmental Authorities [Policy Text Block]
Taxes Collected from Clients and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
We account for tax assessed by a governmental authority that is based on a revenue or transaction value (i.e., sales, use and value-added taxes) on a net basis, excluded from revenue, and recorded as current liabilities until paid.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Other Commitments and Contingencies
We are subject to various claims and contingencies related to disputes, lawsuits and taxes as well as commitments under contractual obligations. Many of these claims are covered under our current insurance programs, subject to deductibles. Our current insurance programs include professional, auto and general liability. The level of risk retained by our captive insurance company is limited per claim, inclusive of the deductible.
For professional indemnity coverage, we contract third-party insurance companies to provide coverage of risk in excess of the policy limits. We recognize the liability associated with a loss contingency when a loss is probable and estimable.
See Note 13, Commitments and Contingencies, for additional information on commitments and contingencies.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]
Earnings Per Share; Net Income Available to Common Shareholders
The difference between basic weighted average shares outstanding and diluted weighted average shares outstanding represents the dilutive impact of our common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents consist of shares to be issued under employee stock-based compensation programs. Anti-dilutive shares were de minimis for all periods presented.
See Note 6, Stock-Based Compensation, for additional information on our stock-based compensation plans.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]
New Accounting Standards
Recently adopted accounting guidance
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the income tax disclosures to provide information to better assess how an entity’s operations and related tax risks and tax planning and operational opportunities affect its tax rate and prospects for future cash flows. We adopted this guidance for the annual period beginning January 1, 2025 and will adopt for the interim periods beginning January 1, 2026. This ASU resulted in expanded disclosures related to income taxes but did not have an impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
Recently issued accounting guidance, not yet adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. This ASU will result in expanded disclosures related to expenses but will have no impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient and an accounting policy election related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. The practical expedient permits an entity to assume current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of the current accounts receivable and current contract assets. The practical expedient is available to all entities. The accounting policy election is only available to entities other than public business entities and is therefore not applicable to us. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect this would have on our financial statements.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which amends certain aspects of the accounting for and disclosure of software costs under ASC 350-40. The ASU aims to better align the accounting with how software is developed. Specifically, software development has shifted from using a prescriptive and sequential development method to using an incremental and iterative development method. This ASU makes targeted improvements to increase the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect this guidance will have on our financial statements.
In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-08, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Purchased Loans, which requires entities to account for acquired loans that meet certain criteria (“purchased seasoned loans”) using the gross-up approach, aligning their treatment with purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. Under this approach, entities recognize the loans at their purchase price plus an allowance for expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments must be applied prospectively to loans acquired on or after the initial application date. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides guidance on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants to business entities. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2028, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies interim reporting requirements under US GAAP for all entities preparing interim financial statements and notes. The ASU improves the navigability of Topic 270, specifies the form and content of interim financial statements and notes, provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and introduces a disclosure principle for condensed interim financial statements requiring disclosure of events with a material effect since the end of the previous annual period. This
ASU is effective for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, for public business entities, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements, as part of its ongoing project to make minor amendments and clarifications to the Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments address issues across a wide range of Topics and are intended to clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements without significant impact on current accounting practice or cost to most entities. The ASU is effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those years, with early adoption permitted on an issue-by-issue basis. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA includes provisions
altering the timing of deduction from certain depreciable assets, research and experimental expenses, and interest expense,
with some effective in 2025 and some in 2026. The current period’s financial statements include the impact of the OBBBA
provisions effective for 2025, which are primarily in the nature of timing differences which do not impact this year's effective tax rate. The OBBBA further alters the determination and rates of taxation of international earnings, effective in 2026. We are still evaluating these provisions, which may decrease overall U.S. tax on international subsidiary income.
