JLL's operating performance was reported for the third quarter of 2022, with strong top-line performance in annuity-based businesses offsetting softness in Capital Markets.

Diluted earnings per share decreased to $2.88, compared to $4.57 in the prior-year quarter.

Work Dynamics fee revenue increased by 14%, driven by outsourcing wins and project management demand.

Forward Guidance

The commercial real estate industry experienced a more rapid slowdown in Capital Markets volumes than was expected three months ago, with elongated deal cycles and widened bid-ask spreads. Work Dynamics continued to show strength with double-digit fee revenue growth, and JLL aims to leverage its global platform and industry expertise to serve clients during a more challenging macro-economic period.
