Management Comments

“We continued our trend of growth and margin improvement with another strong performance in the second quarter. This was our eleventh consecutive quarter of consolidated revenue growth, reflecting the strength of our client relationships and the commitment of our people to excellence,” commented Rohit Verma, Chief Executive Officer of Crawford & Company. “Platform Solutions revenue grew 22% for the second quarter, related to strong activity in our Networks and Contractor Connection service lines. Revenue in our North America Loss Adjusting segment grew 15%, largely driven by the addition of specialty adjusters to our Global Technical Service team, as well as the addition of several new accounts. At Broadspire, usage of our Medical Management service increased as a result of new workers’ compensation business as well as enhanced post-pandemic stability in the sector. Our International business performed well, with improved margins reflecting work done on cost efficiency in 2022 as well as growth in the current year.

“Our balance sheet and cash generation remain strong, providing Crawford the financial flexibility to continue to invest in the technologies and people who will enhance our operational excellence as we execute on our strategic initiatives to drive continued shareholder value,” Mr. Verma concluded.

Segment Results for the Second Quarter

North America Loss Adjusting

North America Loss Adjusting revenues before reimbursements were $75.8 million in the second quarter of 2023, increasing 15.3% from $65.8 million in the second quarter of 2022.

The segment had operating earnings of $3.9 million in the 2023 second quarter, increasing from $2.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. The operating margin was 5.1% in the 2023 quarter and 4.0% in the 2022 quarter.

International Operations

International Operations revenues before reimbursements were $95.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, up 1.7% from $93.7 million in the same period of 2022, including $0.6 million from the Van Dijk acquisition. Absent foreign exchange rate decreases of $6.2 million, revenues would have been $101.5 million for the 2023 second quarter.

Operating earnings were $3.7 million in the 2023 second quarter, compared to a $(0.7) million operating loss in the 2022 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2023 quarter was 3.9% as compared with (0.7)% in the 2022 quarter.

Broadspire

Broadspire segment revenues before reimbursements were $83.9 million in the 2023 second quarter, increasing 4.7% from $80.1 million in the 2022 second quarter.

Broadspire recorded operating earnings of $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, representing an operating margin of 9.7%, increasing from $7.7 million, or 9.6% of revenues, in the 2022 second quarter.

Platform Solutions

Platform Solutions revenues before reimbursements were $65.6 million in the second quarter of 2023, up 22.1% from $53.7 million in the same period of 2022.

Operating earnings were $8.1 million in the 2023 second quarter, increasing over the $4.6 million in the 2022 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2023 quarter was 12.3% as compared with 8.6% in the 2022 quarter.

Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs and Credits, Net

Unallocated corporate costs were $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared with $1.9 million in the same period of 2022. The decrease in the 2023 second quarter was primarily due to an offset to certain internal allocations and other cost reductions.

Other Matters

The Company recognized pretax contingent earnout expenses totaling $0.7 million and $0.3 million in the 2023 second quarter and comparable 2022 period, respectively, related to the fair value adjustment of earnout liabilities arising from recent acquisitions. This adjustment, which is not a component of operating earnings, is based on favorable changes to projections of acquired entities over the respective earnout periods, which span multiple years.

The Company recognized non-service pension costs of $2.1 million in the 2023 second quarter compared with credits of $(0.6) million in the comparable 2022 period. Non-service pension costs represent the U.S. and U.K. non-service defined benefit pension costs, which are non-operating in nature as the U.S. plan is frozen and the U.K. plans are closed to new participants.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of June 30, 2023, totaled $47.5 million, compared with $46.0 million at December 31, 2022. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2023, totaled $242.8 million, compared with $238.9 million at December 31, 2022.

The Company’s operations provided $27.2 million of cash during the first six months of 2023, compared with $(12.8) million used in 2022. The increase in cash provided was primarily driven by an increase in net income and improvement in working capital.

The Company made no contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $1.0 million in contributions to its U.K. plans for the first half of 2023, compared with no contributions to the U.S. plan and $0.3 million to the U.K. plans in 2022.

There were no shares repurchased during 2023. During the first six months of 2022, the Company repurchased 2,656,474 shares of CRD-A and 963,472 shares of CRD-B at an average per share cost of $7.41 and $7.32, respectively. The total cost of share repurchases during 2022 was $26.7 million through June 30, 2022.

Non-GAAP Presentation

In the normal course of business, our operating segments incur certain out-of-pocket expenses that are thereafter reimbursed by our clients. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), these out-of-pocket expenses and associated reimbursements are required to be included when reporting expenses and revenues, respectively, in our consolidated results of operations. In the foregoing discussion and analysis of segment results of operations, we do not include a gross up of segment expenses and revenues for these pass-through reimbursed expenses. The amounts of reimbursed expenses and related revenues offset each other in our results of operations with no impact to our net income or operating earnings. A reconciliation of revenues before reimbursements to consolidated revenues determined in accordance with GAAP is self-evident from the face of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by our senior management and chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate the financial performance of our Company and operating segments, and make resource allocation and certain compensation decisions. Unlike net income, segment operating earnings is not a standard performance measure found in GAAP. We believe this measure is useful to others in that it allows them to evaluate segment and consolidated operating performance using the same criteria used by our senior management and CODM. Consolidated operating earnings represent segment earnings including certain unallocated corporate and shared costs, but before net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, non-service pension costs and credits, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. However, adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our operational results. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to shareholders of the Company with adjustments for depreciation and amortization, net corporate interest expense, contingent earnout adjustments, non-service pension costs and credits, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense.

Unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits include expenses and credits related to our Chief Executive Officer and Board of Directors, certain provisions for bad debt allowances or subsequent recoveries such as those related to bankrupt clients, certain unallocated professional fees and certain self-insurance costs and recoveries that are not allocated to our individual operating segments.

Income taxes, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, and non-service pension costs and credits are recurring components of our net income, but they are not considered part of our segment operating earnings because they are managed on a corporate-wide basis. Income taxes are calculated for the Company on a consolidated basis based on statutory rates in effect in the various jurisdictions in which we provide services and vary significantly by jurisdiction. Net corporate interest expense results from capital structure decisions made by senior management and the Board of Directors, affecting the Company as a whole. Stock option expense represents the non-cash costs generally related to stock options and employee stock purchase plan expenses which are not allocated to our operating segments. Amortization expense is a non-cash expense for finite-lived customer-relationship and trade name intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Contingent earnout adjustments relate to changes in the fair value of earnouts associated with our recent acquisitions. Non-service pension costs and credits represent the U.S. and U.K. non-service defined benefit pension costs, which are non-operating in nature as the U.S. plan was frozen in 2002 and the U.K. plans are closed to new participants. None of these costs relate directly to the performance of our services or operating activities and, therefore, are excluded from segment operating earnings to better assess the results of each segment's operating activities on a consistent basis.

A significant portion of our operations are international. These international operations subject us to foreign exchange fluctuations. The following table illustrates revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the major currencies of the geographic areas that Crawford does business:
