Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Business Segments |
3. | BUSINESS SEGMENTS
We manage and report our operations as four business segments: The three geographic regions of RES including: (1) Americas, (2) EMEA, and (3) Asia Pacific; and (4) LaSalle, which offers investment management services on a global basis. Each geographic region offers our full range of Real Estate Services, including agency leasing and tenant representation, capital markets, property management, facility management, project and development services, energy management and sustainability, construction management, and advisory, consulting and valuation services, including technology solutions. We define "property management" to mean services we provide to non-occupying property investors and "facility management" to mean services we provide to owner-occupiers. LaSalle provides investment management services to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals. Operating income represents total revenue less direct and allocated indirect expenses. 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 global platform overhead, which we allocate to the business segments based on the budgeted operating expenses of each segment. For segment reporting, (i) gross contract costs and (ii) net non-cash mortgage servicing rights ("MSR") and mortgage banking derivative activity are both excluded from revenue in determining "fee revenue". Gross contract costs are excluded from operating expenses in determining "fee-based operating expenses". Excluding these costs from revenue and expenses results in a net presentation which we believe more accurately reflects how we manage our expense base, operating margin, and performance. See Note 2 for additional information on our gross and net accounting policies. In addition, our measure of segment results excludes Restructuring and acquisition charges. We have reclassified amounts in prior years to conform to the current presentation. Specifically during 2017, we revised our methodology for allocating overhead expenses and certain costs associated with our facility management platform in EMEA to our reporting segments. Reclassifications have not been material and have not affected reported net income or consolidated results. The Chief Operating Decision Maker of JLL measures and evaluates the segment results excluding (i) gross contract costs, (ii) net non-cash MSR and mortgage banking derivative activity, and (iii) Restructuring and acquisition charges. As of December 31, 2017, we define the Chief Operating Decision Maker collectively as our Global Executive Board, which is composed of the following:
• Global Chief Executive Officer | • Global Chief Executive Officer of Corporate Solutions
• Global Chief Financial Officer | • Global Head of Capital Markets
• Chief Executive Officers of each of our four business segments | • Global Chief Human Resources Officer
Summarized financial information by business segment is as follows.
