JONES LANG LASALLE INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1.INTERIM INFORMATION
Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the audited financial statements of Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated ("JLL," which may also be referred to as "the Company," "we," "us" or "our") for the year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and also available on our website (www.jll.com), since we have omitted from this quarterly report certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in such audited financial statements. You should also refer to the "Summary of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" section within Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion of our significant accounting policies and estimates.
Our Consolidated Financial Statements as of March 31, 2026, and for the periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, are unaudited. In the opinion of management, we have included all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for these interim periods.
Historically, our quarterly revenue and profits have tended to increase from quarter to quarter as the year progresses. This is the result of a general focus in the real estate industry on completing transactions by calendar year end, while certain expenses are recognized evenly throughout the year. Growth in our Workplace Management and Property Management businesses as well as other annuity-based services has, to an extent, lessened the seasonality in our revenue and profits during the past several years. Within our Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets Services segments, revenue from transaction-based activities is driven by the size and timing of our clients' transactions and can fluctuate significantly from period to period. Our Investment Management segment generally earns investment-generated performance fees on clients' real estate investment returns when assets are sold, the timing of which is geared toward the benefit of our clients, as well as co-investment equity gains and losses, primarily dependent on underlying valuations.
A significant portion of our compensation and benefits expense is from incentive compensation plans, which we generally accrue throughout the year based on progress toward annual performance targets. This process can result in significant fluctuations in quarterly compensation and benefits expense from period to period. Non-variable operating expenses, which we recognize when incurred during the year, are relatively constant on a quarterly basis.
We provide for the effects of income taxes on interim financial statements based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the full year, which we base on forecasted income by country and expected enacted tax rates. As required, we adjust for the impact of discrete items in the quarters in which they occur. Changes in the geographic mix of income can impact our estimated effective tax rate.
As a result of the items mentioned above, the results for the periods ended March 31 are not fully indicative of what our results will be for the full fiscal year.
Accelerated share repurchase program
In March 2026, we entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") program, whereby we made an upfront payment of $200.0 million and received initial delivery of approximately 587,000 shares at a price of $289.52 per share. These shares represented a portion of the prepayment amount, and the remainder of the shares associated with this ASR will be delivered on contractual settlement dates during the second quarter.

2.NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
Recently adopted accounting guidance
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 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. We adopted this guidance for the interim periods beginning January 1, 2026 and elected to apply the practical expedient, which assumes that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of current accounts receivable and current contract assets. This ASU did not have a material impact on our financial statements or results of operations.
Recently issued accounting guidance
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 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 U.S. 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.

3.REVENUE RECOGNITION
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 mortgage servicing rights ("MSR" or "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.

Remaining performance obligations
Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate transaction price for contracts where our performance obligations have not yet been satisfied. As of March 31, 2026, 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. A significant portion of our customer contracts, which are not expected to be fulfilled within 12 months, are represented by the contracts within these businesses.

4.BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Effective January 1, 2026, we began reporting Software and Technology Solutions (historically a standalone reporting segment) as a fifth business line within Real Estate Management Services. In addition, the revenue disaggregation within Leasing Advisory was collapsed and the presentation of Investment Management revenue was simplified to reflect two captions: Advisory fees and Incentive and transaction fees. Prior period financial information was recast to conform with these presentation changes.
We manage and report our operations as four global business segments:
(1) Real Estate Management Services,
(2) Leasing Advisory,
(3) Capital Markets Services, and
(4) Investment Management.
Real Estate Management Services business provides a broad suite of integrated services to occupiers of real estate, including facility and property management, project management, portfolio and other services, and software and technology solutions. Leasing Advisory offers agency leasing and tenant representation, as well as advisory and consulting services. Capital Markets Services offerings include investment sales, debt and equity advisory, value and risk advisory, and loan servicing. Investment Management provides services on a global basis to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
We allocate all indirect expenses to our segments, other than interest and income taxes, as nearly all expenses incurred benefit one or more of the segments. Allocated expenses primarily consist of corporate functional costs across the globe, which we allocate to the business segments using an expense-specific driver-based methodology.
Adjusted EBITDA does not include (i) Restructuring and acquisition charges, (ii) gain/loss on disposal, (iii) interest on employee loans, net of forgiveness, (iv) Equity earnings/losses for Investment Management and Proptech Investments, (v) credit losses on convertible note investments, (vi) net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity, (vii) Interest expense, net of interest income, (viii) Income tax provision and (ix) Depreciation and amortization, which are otherwise included in Net income on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The Other segment items caption includes (i) other income/loss, (ii) gain/loss on disposal, (iii) interest on employee loans, net of forgiveness, (iv) net income/loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, (v) the noncontrolling interest portion of amortization of acquisition-related intangibles which is not attributable to common shareholders and (vi) the noncontrolling interest portion of Equity earnings/losses which are not attributable to common shareholders.
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") of JLL measures and evaluates the segment results based on Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance. Our CODM is not provided with total asset information by segment and accordingly does not measure or allocate resources based on total assets information. Therefore, we have not disclosed asset information by segment. As of March 31, 2026, we continue to define our Global Executive Board, collectively, as our CODM.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and unamortized intangibles as of March 31, 2026 consisted of: (i) goodwill of $4,691.0 million, (ii) identifiable intangibles of $599.1 million amortized over their remaining finite useful lives and (iii) $51.2 million of identifiable intangibles with indefinite useful lives that are not amortized. Notable 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 evolving organizational structure described more fully in Note 4, Business Segments, we reassessed our reporting units as of January 1, 2026. As a result of reporting Software and Technology Solutions (historically a standalone reporting segment) as a fifth business line within Real Estate Management Services, the goodwill previously attributed to the Software and Technology Solutions reporting unit was combined with the goodwill of the Real Estate Management Services reporting unit.
We considered the change to Software and Technology Solutions and Real Estate Management Services reporting units a triggering event requiring the testing of our goodwill for impairment as of January 1, 2026. 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 the Software and Technology Solutions and Real Estate Management Services reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values.

Fair Value
We report a majority 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. The table below shows the movement in our investments reported at fair value.
The table below does not include our $16.9 million investment in certain mid-stage non-public companies as they are non-marketable equity investments accounted for under the measurement alternative, defined as cost minus impairment, plus or minus adjustments resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

See Note 7, Fair Value Measurements, for additional discussion of our investments reported at fair value.
7.FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We measure certain assets and liabilities in accordance with ASC Topic 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, Commercial paper, Short-term borrowings, 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, Commercial paper and Short-term borrowings approximate their estimated fair values given the variable interest rate terms and market spreads.
We estimated the fair value of our Long-term debt 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.

17
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 any 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, investments at fair value using NAV were $483.3 million and $491.1 million, respectively. As these investments are not required to be classified in the fair value hierarchy, they have been excluded from the following table.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

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 our 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.
18
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 12, 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, 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
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 recorded 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.
| (in millions) | March 31, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | |||||||||
| Deferred compensation plan assets | $ | 751.8 | 723.6 | ||||||||
| Long-term deferred compensation plan liabilities | 740.9 | 731.4 | |||||||||
| Shares held in trust | 13.9 | 13.8 | |||||||||
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. See Note 5, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for additional discussion of our Earn-out liabilities.
Mortgage Banking Derivatives
Both our interest rate lock commitments to prospective borrowers and forward sale contracts with prospective investors are undesignated derivatives and considered Level 3 valuations due to significant unobservable inputs related to nonperformance risk. Although nonperformance risk does not currently have a material impact, an increase in nonperformance risk assumptions would result in a lower fair value measurement.
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 deemed necessary, for indications of whether we may be unable to recover the carrying value of our investments and whether such investments are other than temporarily impaired. When the carrying amount of the investment is in excess of the estimated future undiscounted cash flows, we use a discounted cash flow approach or other acceptable method to determine the fair value of the investment in computing the amount of the impairment. Our determination of fair value primarily relies on Level 3 inputs. We did not recognize any significant investment-level impairment losses during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025. See Note 6, Investments, for additional information, including information related to impairment charges recorded at the investee level.

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. Undiscounted pricing on the Facility ranges from Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 0.875% to 1.35%, with pricing including facility fees, as of March 31, 2026 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 both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The following table provides additional information on our Program, Facility and Uncommitted Facility, collectively.

| Average outstanding borrowings | $ | 458.5 | 1,003.3 | |||||
| Average effective interest rate | 4.2 | % | 5.0 | % | ||||
We will continue to use the Facility for, but not limited to, business acquisitions, working capital needs (including payment of accrued incentive compensation), co-investment activities, share repurchases and capital expenditures.
Short-Term and Long-Term Debt
In addition to our credit facilities, we have the capacity to borrow up to $58.1 million as of March 31, 2026, under local overdraft facilities. Amounts outstanding are presented in the debt table above.
As of March 31, 2026, our issuer and senior unsecured ratings are investment grade: Baa1 from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and BBB+ from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services.
Covenants
Our Facility and senior notes are subject to customary financial and other covenants, including cash interest coverage ratios and leverage ratios, as well as event of default conditions. We remained in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2026.
Warehouse Facilities
We maintain our Warehouse facilities with third-party lenders for the purpose of funding mortgage loans that will be resold, included in Warehouse receivables. The following table shows our gross cash activity related to Warehouse receivables as well as the corresponding, and largely offsetting, net change of our Warehouse facilities. This activity, in aggregate, is reflected as net cash flows from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

We have lines of credit established for the sole purpose of funding our Warehouse receivables. These lines of credit exist with financial institutions and are secured by the related Warehouse receivables. Pursuant to these facilities, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants regarding (i) minimum net worth, (ii) minimum servicing-related loans and (iii) minimum adjusted leverage ratios. We remained in compliance with all covenants under our facilities as of March 31, 2026.
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.
9.COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are a defendant in various litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages that are substantial in amount.
Professional Indemnity Insurance
In order to better manage our global insurance program and support our risk management efforts, we supplement our traditional insurance coverage for certain types of claims by using a wholly-owned captive insurance company. The level of risk retained by our captive insurance company, with respect to professional indemnity claims, is up to $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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, in Notes and other receivables on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The following table shows the professional indemnity accrual activity and related payments.

22
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had loans, funded and sold, subject to such loss-sharing arrangements with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $26.6 billion and $25.8 billion, respectively.
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. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the loss-sharing guarantee obligations were $30.7 million and $30.4 million, respectively, and are included in other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The loss-sharing aspect of the program represents an off-balance sheet credit exposure. We record a separate contingent reserve for this risk calculated on an individual loan level. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the loan loss guarantee reserve was $24.2 million and $29.9 million, respectively, and is included within Other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. There were no loan losses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
10. RESTRUCTURING AND ACQUISITION CHARGES
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 and (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.
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||
| (in millions) | 2026 | 2025 | ||||||
| Severance and other employment-related charges | $ | 2.9 | 7.4 | |||||
| Restructuring, pre-acquisition and post-acquisition charges | 1.7 | 7.7 | ||||||

| Fair value adjustments to earn-out liabilities | 0.5 | 3.9 | ||||||
| Restructuring and acquisition charges | $ | 5.3 | 19.7 | |||||
We expect nearly all cash-based charges related to (i) severance and other employment-related charges and (ii) restructuring, pre-acquisition and post-acquisition charges as of March 31, 2026 will be paid during the next twelve months.

For pension and postretirement benefits, we report amounts reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss in Other income within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
12. 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. The impact to net income was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 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 master netting arrangements that allow for net settlement of contracts with the same counterparties. There are currently no requirements for the Company to post collateral.
In October 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. The total notional of these swaps is $805.8 million, which will mature between 2030 and 2035.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, 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. The following table details the gross notional value and net basis of these contracts.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, which are included in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC and also available on our website (www.jll.com). You should also refer to Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The following discussion and analysis contains certain forward-looking statements generally identified by the words anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, forecasts, plans, intends and other similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause JLL's actual results, performance, achievements, plans and objectives to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements, plans and objectives expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. See the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements included within this section for further information.
We present our quarterly Management's Discussion and Analysis in the following sections:
(1)A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates;
(2)Certain items affecting the comparability of results and certain market and other risks we face;
(3)The results of our operations, first on a consolidated basis and then for each of our business segments; and
(4)Liquidity and capital resources.
SUMMARY OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
An understanding of our accounting policies is necessary for a complete analysis of our results, financial position, liquidity and trends. See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a complete summary of our significant accounting policies.
The preparation of our financial statements requires management to make certain critical accounting estimates and judgments that impact (i) the stated amount of assets and liabilities, (ii) disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and (iii) the reported amount of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. These accounting estimates are based on management's judgment. We consider them to be critical because of their significance to the financial statements and the possibility that future events may differ from current judgments or that the use of different assumptions could result in materially different estimates. We review these estimates on a periodic basis to ensure reasonableness. Although actual amounts likely differ from such estimated amounts, we believe such differences are not likely to be material.
A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates used in the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q can be found in Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
ITEMS AFFECTING COMPARABILITY
Macroeconomic Conditions
Our results of operations and the variability of these results are significantly influenced by (i) macroeconomic trends, (ii) the geopolitical environment, (iii) the global and regional real estate markets and (iv) the financial and credit markets. These macroeconomic and other conditions have had, and we expect will continue to have, a significant impact on the variability of our results of operations.
26
Acquisitions and Dispositions
The timing of acquisitions and dispositions may impact the comparability of our results on a year-over-year basis. Our results include incremental revenues and expenses following the completion date of an acquisition. Relating to dispositions, comparable results will include the revenues and expenses of recent dispositions and results may also include gains (losses) on the disposition. In addition, there is generally an initial adverse impact on net income from an acquisition as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence expenditures, transaction/deal costs and post-acquisition integration costs, such as fees from third-party advisors engaged to assist with onboarding and process alignment, retention and severance expense, early lease termination costs and other integration expenses. For dispositions, we may also incur such incremental costs during the disposition process and these costs could have an adverse impact on net income.
Transaction-Based Revenues and Equity Earnings
Transaction-based revenues are impacted by the size and timing of our clients' transactions. Such revenues include investment sales and other capital markets activities, agency and tenant representation leasing transactions, incentive fees, and other services/offerings, which increase the variability of the revenue we earn. Specifically for Investment Management, the magnitude and timing of recognition of incentive fees are driven by one or a combination of the following: changes in valuations of the underlying investments, dispositions of managed assets and the contractual measurement periods with clients. The timing and the magnitude of transaction-based revenues can vary significantly from year to year and quarter to quarter and also vary geographically.
Equity earnings may vary substantially from period to period for a variety of reasons, including as a result of (i) valuation increases (decreases) on investments reported at fair value, (ii) gains (losses) on asset dispositions and (iii) impairment charges. The timing of recognition of these items may impact comparability between quarters, in any one year or compared to a prior year.
The comparability of these items can be seen in Note 4, Business Segments, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and is discussed further in Segment Operating Results included herein.
Foreign Currency
We conduct business using a variety of currencies, but we report our results in U.S. dollars. As a result, the volatility of currencies against the U.S. dollar may positively or negatively impact our results. This volatility can make it more difficult to perform period-to-period comparisons of the reported U.S. dollar results of operations, because such results may indicate a growth or decline rate that might not have been consistent with the real underlying growth or decline rates in the local operations. Consequently, we provide information about the impact of foreign currencies in the period-to-period comparisons of the reported results of operations in our discussion and analysis of financial condition in the Results of Operations section below.
Seasonality
Historically, we have reported a relatively smaller revenue and profit in the first quarter with both measures increasing each of the following three quarters. This is a result of a general focus in the real estate industry on completing or documenting transactions by calendar year end and the fact that certain expenses are constant through the year. Our seasonality excludes the recognition of investment-generated performance fees and realized and unrealized investment equity earnings and losses. Specifically, we recognize incentive fees when assets are sold or as a result of valuation increases in the portfolio, the timing of which may not be predictable or recurring. In addition, investment equity gains and losses are primarily dependent on valuations of underlying investments, and the direction and magnitude of changes to such valuations are not predictable. Non-variable operating expenses, which we treat as expenses when incurred during the year, are relatively constant on a quarterly basis.
A significant portion of our Compensation and benefits expense is from incentive compensation plans, which we generally accrue throughout the year based on progress toward annual performance targets. This quarterly estimation can result in significant fluctuations in quarterly Compensation and benefits expense from period to period. Consequently, the results for the periods ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, are not fully indicative of the results we expect to realize for the full fiscal year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to develop budgets and forecasts, measure and reward performance against those budgets and forecasts, and enhance comparability to prior periods. These measures are believed to be useful to investors and other external stakeholders as supplemental measures of core operating performance and include the following:
•Adjusted EBITDA attributable to common shareholders ("Adjusted EBITDA") and
•Percentage changes against prior periods, presented on a local currency basis.
However, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to measures determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Any measure that eliminates components of a company’s capital structure, cost of operations or investments, or other results has limitations as a performance measure. In light of these limitations, management also considers U.S. GAAP financial measures and does not rely solely on non-GAAP financial measures. Because our non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
Adjustments to U.S. GAAP Financial Measures Used to Calculate non-GAAP Financial Measures
Net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity consists of the balances presented within Revenue composed of (i) derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment and warehousing activity and (ii) gains recognized from the retention of MSR upon origination and sale of mortgage loans, offset by (iii) amortization of MSR intangible assets over the period that net servicing income is projected to be received. Non-cash derivative gains/losses resulting from mortgage banking loan commitment and warehousing activity are calculated as the estimated fair value of loan commitments and subsequent changes thereof, primarily represented by the estimated net cash flows associated with future servicing rights. MSR gains and corresponding MSR intangible assets are calculated as the present value of estimated net cash flows over the estimated mortgage servicing periods. The above activity is reported entirely within Revenue of the Capital Markets Services segment. Excluding net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity reflects how we manage and evaluate performance because the excluded activity is non-cash in nature.
Restructuring and acquisition 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, including fair value adjustments, which are generally non-cash in the periods such adjustments are made, to assets and liabilities recorded in purchase accounting such as earn-out liabilities and intangible assets; and (iii) other restructuring, including lease exit charges. Such activity is excluded as the amounts are generally either non-cash in nature or the anticipated benefits from the expenditures would not likely be fully realized until future periods. Restructuring and acquisition charges are excluded from segment operating results and therefore not a line item in the segments’ reconciliation to Adjusted EBITDA.
Interest on employee loans, net of forgiveness reflects interest accrued on employee loans less the amount of accrued interest forgiven. Certain employees (predominantly in Leasing Advisory and Capital Markets Services) receive cash payments structured as loans, with interest. Employees earn forgiveness of the loan based on performance, generally calculated as a percentage of revenue production. Such forgiven amounts are reflected in Compensation and benefits expense. Given the interest accrued on these employee loans and subsequent forgiveness are non-cash and the amounts perfectly offset over the life of the loan, the activity is not indicative of core operating performance and is excluded from non-GAAP measures.
Equity earnings/losses (Investment Management and Proptech Investments) primarily reflects valuation changes on investments reported at fair value, which are increased or decreased each reporting period as fair value changes. Where the measurement alternative has been elected, our investment is increased or decreased upon observable price changes. Such activity is excluded as the amounts are generally non‑cash in nature and not indicative of core operating performance.
Note: Equity earnings/losses for segments other than Investment Management represent the results of unconsolidated operating ventures (not investments), and therefore, the amounts are included in Adjusted EBITDA on both a segment and consolidated basis.
29
Credit losses on convertible note investments reflects credit impairments associated with pre-equity convertible note investments in early-stage proptech enterprises. Such losses are similar to the equity investment-related losses included in equity earnings/losses for Proptech Investments and are therefore consistently excluded from adjusted measures.

In discussing our operating results, we report percentage changes in local currency, unless otherwise noted. Amounts presented on a local currency basis are calculated by translating the current period results of our foreign operations to U.S. dollars using the foreign currency exchange rates from the comparative period. We believe this methodology provides a framework for assessing performance and operations excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations.

Revenue
Revenue increased 9% compared with the prior-year quarter. Collectively, Advisory revenues grew 17%, led by Leasing Advisory, up 16%, and Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other, within Capital Markets Services, up 23% (excluding the impact of net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity). The collective 7% increase in Resilient revenues was highlighted by Workplace Management, up 8%, and Project Management, up 10%, both within Real Estate Management Services.
The following highlights Revenue by reporting segment and type, for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025 ($ in millions). Refer to segment operating results for further detail.
Operating Expenses
Consolidated operating expenses were $6.2 billion for the first quarter, up 8% from the same period in 2025. Gross contract costs were $4.3 billion, up 8% from the prior-year quarter, attributable to growth from businesses with higher client pass-through expenses such as Workplace Management and Project Management, both within Real Estate Management Services. Platform operating expenses were $1.8 billion for the first quarter, an 8% increase from the prior-year quarter, largely due to revenue-related variable compensation expense growth.
31
The year-over-year change in Restructuring and acquisition charges for the first quarter was largely driven by lower severance and employment-related charges and lower acquisition-related expenses in 2026.

Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of interest income, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was $17.0 million, compared with $24.6 million in the prior-year period. Lower expense was primarily due to a lower effective interest rate and lower average borrowings compared with the prior-year period.
Equity Earnings/Losses
The following details Equity earnings/losses by investment type. In the current period, equity earnings reflected modest net valuation increases across the underlying investment portfolios. Equity losses in the prior-year quarter were largely attributable to valuation declines of certain Proptech Investments.

On July 4, 2025, the United States enacted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). The OBBBA included provisions altering the timing of deductions from certain depreciable assets, research and experimental expenses, and interest expense, with some effective in 2025 and some in 2026. The OBBBA further altered the determination and rates of taxation of international earnings, primarily effective in 2026. For provisions effective in 2026, the current period’s effective tax rate includes the impact of such OBBBA provisions, which are not material to income tax expense or the financial statements as a whole.

| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 273.6 | 224.8 | |||||
For the first quarter of 2026, higher Adjusted EBITDA and margin were primarily driven by Capital Markets Services and Leasing Advisory, led by strong Advisory revenue growth. Profitability also reflected incremental platform leverage and continued cost discipline.
The following chart reflects segment Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025. Proptech Investments are reflected outside of the reporting segments in "All Other;" Adjusted EBITDA for the segments, therefore, does not sum to the consolidated total.

Segment Operating Results
Effective January 1, 2026, we began reporting Software and Technology Solutions (historically a standalone reporting segment) as a fifth business line within Real Estate Management Services. In addition, the revenue disaggregation within Leasing Advisory was collapsed and the presentation of Investment Management revenue was simplified to reflect two captions: Advisory fees and Incentive and transaction fees. Prior-period financial information was recast to conform with this presentation.
We manage and report our operations as four business segments: Real Estate Management Services, Leasing Advisory, Capital Markets Services and Investment Management. Our Real Estate Management Services business provides a broad suite of integrated services to occupiers of real estate, including facility and property management, project management, portfolio and other services, and software and technology solutions. We consider "Property Management" to be services provided to non-occupying property investors and "Workplace Management" to be services provided to facility occupiers. Leasing Advisory offers agency leasing and tenant representation, as well as advisory and consulting services. Our Capital Markets Services offerings include investment sales, debt and equity advisory, value and risk advisory, and loan servicing. Investment Management provides services on a global basis to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.
Segment operating expenses comprise Gross contract costs and Segment platform operating expenses, which includes Platform compensation and benefits; Platform operating, administrative and other expenses; and Depreciation and amortization. Our measure of segment results excludes Restructuring and acquisition charges.

Real Estate Management Services revenue growth was primarily driven by Workplace Management and Project Management. Within Workplace Management, the increase reflected a mix of new client wins and mandate expansions. Globally, Project Management delivered double-digit growth, primarily driven by the Americas, with higher pass-through costs augmenting a high single-digit management fee increase.
Increased segment platform operating expenses were driven by incremental human capital investments to support future business growth. Higher gross contract costs correlated to top-line performance in the Workplace Management, Project Management and Property Management business lines.
Higher Adjusted EBITDA was primarily driven by the revenue growth described above.

| Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 116.9 | 97.0 | 19.9 | 21 | % | 22 | % | |||||||||
The increase in Leasing Advisory revenue was driven by continued momentum in the office sector and an acceleration in industrial. Many geographies achieved double-digit revenue growth for the quarter, highlighted by the U.S. and with a meaningful uptick in the UK. Broad-based growth across the U.S. was primarily driven by office - as an increase in average deal size complemented higher volume - and industrial, primarily due to larger deal size. Office leasing revenue growth outperformed global office volumes (up 12% compared with market volumes down 1% according to JLL Research), highlighted by U.S. revenue outperformance (up 14% compared with market volumes up 7% according to JLL Research).
Higher segment platform operating expenses were substantially driven by higher commission expense, correlated to the revenue growth. The increase in deal size contributed to a higher average commission rate, compared with 2025, as higher commission tiers were achieved earlier this year.
Adjusted EBITDA and margin expansion were driven by revenue growth, partially tempered by the higher commission expense noted above.

Capital Markets Services top-line growth was fueled by investment sales and debt advisory transactions, across nearly all sectors, with robust equity advisory activity (up nearly 80% compared with the prior-year quarter). Investment sales and debt advisory grew 27% (42% on a two-year stacked basis) and 30% (81% on a two-year stacked basis), respectively. Globally, investment sales revenue growth significantly outpaced the broader market, which grew 11% over the same period according to JLL Research. The increase in segment revenue was broad-based across most geographies and was led by the U.S., Japan and the UK.
The increase in segment platform operating expenses was largely driven by higher commission expense, correlated to the growth in Investment Sales, Debt/Equity Advisory and Other. This driver was partially offset by lower amortization expense versus the prior-year quarter, as certain acquisition-related intangible assets fully amortized in mid-2025.
Higher Adjusted EBITDA and margin expansion for the quarter were primarily attributable to the revenue growth described above, augmented by $7.2 million of lower loan-related expenses, including a reduction in the loan loss reserves.

Investment Management revenue was largely flat compared with the prior-year quarter. Advisory fees reflected growth associated with capital raise activity over the trailing twelve months, most notably in North America, offset by lower fees from funds in Asia Pacific, reflecting disposition activity and the conclusion of initial investment periods.
Current-quarter equity earnings were driven primarily by asset valuation increases in Asia Pacific funds. The prior-year quarter equity losses were driven by asset valuation declines in Asia Pacific and North America funds.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We finance our operations, co-investment activity, share repurchases, capital expenditures and business acquisitions with internally generated funds, borrowings on our Facility, and through issuance of Long-term debt and commercial paper.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Operating activities used $755.0 million of cash in the first three months of 2026, compared with $767.6 million of cash used in operating activities during the same period in 2025. The improvement in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to higher cash provided by earnings, partially offset by net working capital (most notably net reimbursables).
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We used $61.3 million of cash for investing activities during the first three months of 2026, compared with $152.8 million used during the same period in 2025. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily attributable to our January 2025 $100.0 million contribution to JLL Income Property Trust ("JLL IPT"), partially offset by higher capital expenditures. We discuss other drivers of investing activity below in further detail.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Financing activities provided $649.4 million of cash during the first three months of 2026, compared with $900.7 million provided during the same period in 2025. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities reflected lower net borrowings under the Facility and the Program, largely driven by a higher cash balance at the beginning of 2026 and lower cash used for investing activities. We discuss specific drivers of financing activities, including share repurchases, in further detail below.
Debt
Our $3.3 billion Facility matures on November 3, 2028, and bears a variable interest rate. Outstanding borrowings, including the balance of the Facility, Short-term borrowings (financing lease obligations, overdrawn bank accounts and local overdraft facilities) and the balance outstanding under the Program are presented below.

Investment Activity
As of March 31, 2026, we had a carrying value of $886.6 million in Investments, primarily related to Investment Management co-investments and investments in early-to-mid-stage proptech companies as well as proptech funds ("Proptech Investments"). For the three months ended March 31, 2026, return of capital exceeded funding of investments by $4.1 million, and during the same period in 2025, funding of investments exceeded return of capital by $108.0 million, primarily driven by our $100.0 million investment in JLL IPT. We have maximum potential unfunded commitments to direct investments or investment vehicles of $196.7 million and $6.6 million as of March 31, 2026 for our Investment Management business and Proptech Investments, respectively.
See Note 6, Investments, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our investment activity.
Capital Expenditures
Net capital additions for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $64.9 million and $44.5 million, respectively. Our capital expenditures in 2026 were primarily for leasehold improvements, purchased/developed software and technology hardware.
Business Acquisitions
The following table details cash payments relating to acquisitions. Payments for current-year acquisitions are within cash used in investing activities, while payments for prior-year acquisitions are primarily within cash used in financing activities.

| Payments for deferred business acquisition and earn-out obligations | 8.5 | 0.6 | ||||||
| Total paid for business acquisitions | $ | 8.5 | 0.6 | |||||
Terms for many of our past acquisitions have typically included cash paid at closing with provisions for additional deferred consideration and earn-out payments subject to certain contract requirements, including the passage of time and performance, respectively. Deferred business acquisition obligations totaled $12.9 million as of March 31, 2026. These obligations represent the current discounted values of payments due to sellers of businesses for which our acquisition had been completed as of the balance sheet date and for which the only remaining condition on those payments is the passage of time. As of March 31, 2026, we had the potential to make earn-out payments for a maximum of $75.4 million on 11 completed acquisitions subject to the achievement of certain performance conditions. Refer to Note 5, Business Combinations, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on Business Acquisitions.
We will continue to consider acquisitions that we believe will strengthen our market position, increase our profitability and supplement our organic growth.
Share Repurchase and Dividend Programs
In February 2026, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $2.2 billion for the repurchase of our common stock, augmenting the $801.7 million remaining repurchases available under prior authorizations as of December 31, 2025. We may repurchase shares through open-market and privately negotiated transactions, including accelerated share repurchase programs.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased $300.0 million of our common stock, including $200.0 million repurchased under an ASR program initiated in March 2026, detailed in the following table.

As of March 31, 2026, $2,701.7 million remained authorized for repurchases under our share repurchase program.
39
Repatriation of Foreign Earnings
Based on our historical experience and future business plans, we do not expect to repatriate our foreign-sourced earnings to the United States. We believe our policy of permanently investing earnings of foreign subsidiaries does not significantly impact our liquidity.

This report, including this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All such statements are qualified by this cautionary note, which is provided pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements may also be included in our other public filings, press releases, our website, and oral and written presentations by management.
Statements in the future tense, and all statements accompanied by terms such as "believe," "will," "may," "could," "project," "expect," "estimate," "assume," "intend," "anticipate," "target," "plan" and variations thereof and similar terms, are intended to be forward-looking statements. Such statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts as they relate to our intent, belief and current expectations about our strategic direction, prospects and future results, and give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. Management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable as and when made. However, caution should be taken not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements because such statements speak only as of the date when made.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
MARKET AND OTHER RISK FACTORS
Interest Rates
We assess interest rate sensitivity to estimate the potential effect of rising short-term interest rates on our variable-rate debt. If short-term interest rates were 50 basis points higher during 2026 on our variable-rate debt, our results would reflect an incremental $0.6 million of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Foreign Exchange
The following outlines the significant functional currencies of our revenue, highlighting where exposure to movements in foreign exchange impact our operations in international markets.

For additional detail of the impact of foreign exchange rates on our results of operations, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify the Company's financial reports and to the other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report. There were no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
We are a defendant or plaintiff 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 captive insurance company, although 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to our risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
