ATLANTA, (November 8, 2021) -- Crawford & Company® (NYSE: CRD-A and CRD-B), the world’s largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management and outsourcing solutions to carriers, brokers and corporations, today announced its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.

The Company’s two classes of stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting rights and the Company’s ability to pay greater cash dividends on the non-voting Class A Common Stock (CRD-A) than on the voting Class B Common Stock (CRD-B), subject to certain limitations. In addition, with respect to mergers or similar transactions, holders of CRD-A must receive the same type and amount of consideration as holders of CRD-B, unless different consideration is approved by the holders of 75% of CRD-A, voting as a class.

 Foreign currency exchange rates increased revenues before reimbursements by $9.4 million or 3.7%. Presented on a constant dollar basis to the prior year, revenues before reimbursements totaled $279.1 million, increasing 10.3% over $253.1 million for the 2020 third quarter

Management Comments

“Crawford delivered an outstanding third quarter revenue growth of 14% year-over-year despite ongoing headwinds presented by an uneven COVID-19 recovery. Importantly, we are continuing to enjoy success from our strategic initiatives across our Loss Adjusting and TPA segments, both of which showed strong revenue growth in the U.S. despite facing pressures internationally. In addition, our Platforms Solutions segment continued its double-digit growth as we benefitted from a deeper penetration with top 5 carriers,” commented Mr. Rohit Verma, chief executive officer of Crawford & Company.

Mr. Verma continued, “We also continue to execute on our inorganic growth strategy by deepening our presence within the property claim ecosystem and building expertise through digital solutions and differentiated capabilities. We are partnering with like-minded, visionary management teams by reinforcing the perception of Crawford as an ideal long-term home for their businesses. To that end, we would like to welcome BosBoon, edjuster and Praxis employees into the Crawford family.

As we enter the fourth quarter, we continue to face an uneven global recovery, nevertheless we remain confident in our ability to capitalize on the vast opportunities ahead of us as well as deliver value for shareholders, and we look forward to continuing our pursuit of restoring and enhancing lives, businesses and communities.”

Segment Results for the Third Quarter

Crawford Loss Adjusting

Crawford Loss Adjusting revenues before reimbursements were $124.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, increasing 11.8% from $110.9 million in the third quarter of 2020. Absent foreign currency rate benefits of $6.6 million, third quarter 2021 revenues would have been $117.3 million.

The segment had operating earnings of $7.1 million in the 2021 third quarter decreasing from $14.1 million in the third quarter of 2020. The operating margin was 5.7% in the 2021 quarter and 12.7% in the 2020 quarter.

Crawford Platform Solutions

Crawford Platform Solution revenues before reimbursements were $64.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, up 20.7% from $53.3 million in the same period of 2020. Absent foreign exchange rate benefits of $0.6 million, revenues would have been $63.7 million for the 2021 third quarter.

Operating earnings were $11.0 million in the 2021 third quarter, increasing from $10.7 million in the 2020 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2021 quarter was 17.1% as compared with 20.0% in the 2020 quarter.

Crawford TPA Solutions

Crawford TPA Solutions segment revenues before reimbursements were $100.2 million in the 2021 third quarter, increasing 12.7% from $88.9 million in the 2020 third quarter. Absent foreign currency rate benefits of $2.1 million, third quarter 2021 revenues would have been $98.1 million.

Crawford TPA Solutions recorded operating earnings of $5.0 million in the third quarter of 2021, representing an operating margin of 5.0%, increasing from $4.3 million, or 4.8% of revenues, in the 2020 third quarter.

Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs and Credits, Net

Unallocated corporate costs were $2.3 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared with $1.0 million in the same period of 2020. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily due to an increase in professional fees and a reduction of the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS") benefit, compared to 2020.

CEWS

During the 2021 third quarter, the Company recognized a pretax benefit from CEWS totaling $1.8 million as compared to a benefit of $4.7 million in the 2020 third quarter. Of the 2021 benefit, $0.7 million is reflected in the segment operating results with the remainder in unallocated and shared costs.

Income Tax Impact of First Quarter 2020 Goodwill Impairment

The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment in the 2020 first quarter, totaling $17.7 million. Due to the non-discrete income tax treatment of the goodwill impairment, the initial income tax benefit related to the impairment normalized during the year, resulting in a lower full year income tax benefit. During the 2020 third quarter, the impact of this treatment decreased the income tax benefit by $1.9 million, or $0.04 per share. There was no goodwill impairment in 2021.

Business Acquisitions and Dispositions

On August 23, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of edjuster Inc. in Canada and its U.S. subsidiary (collectively "edjuster"). edjuster is a technology-enabled, end-to-end contents services provider and platform. This acquisition will enable the Company to expand its capability in the North American claims contents services market. The purchase price included an initial cash payment of $21.0 million, net of working capital adjustment, and a maximum $14.0 million payable in cash over the next two years based on achieving certain EBITDA performance goals.

On June 12, 2020, the Company sold its 51% interest in Lloyd Warwick International (“LWI”) for cash proceeds of $19.6 million and payment of $3.6 million to settle intercompany indebtedness. In the third quarter, the Company recognized an additional $0.7 million related to net working capital adjustments under the terms of the acquisition agreement which increased the purchase price to $20.3 million. Due to the Company’s two-month reporting lag for reporting its international results, this transaction was recorded in the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The Company recognized a gain of $14.7 million ($11.7 million net of tax) on the disposition. The Company recognized an additional loss on the disposal of Crawford Compliance Inc. of $0.6 million in the third quarter. Both of these disposals were in our then Crawford Specialty Solutions segment and resulted in a net gain of $0.21 per diluted share.

Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of Praxis Consulting Inc. ("Praxis"), an established subrogation claims service provider in the U.S. This acquisition allows the Company to expand its footprint in the U.S. subrogation claims market. The purchase price includes an initial cash consideration of $25.5 million, net of working capital adjustment, a deferred payment of $20.0 million in January 2022, and a maximum $10.0 million payable over the next two years based on achieving certain revenue performance goals.

On October 4, 2021, the Company acquired BosBoon Expertise Group B.V. ("BosBoon"), a Netherlands-based specialist loss adjusting company. The acquisition supports Crawford’s strategic aim of strengthening its expertise in all key territories in which it operates. BosBoon offers a specialist range of loss adjusting services which will be added to the existing Crawford Global Technical Services proposition in The Netherlands and internationally.

On November 5, 2021, the Company, along with certain of our subsidiaries as co-borrowers, entered into a Credit Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. as Administrative Agent and lender, among other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces our Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated October 11, 2017. Proceeds from borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to repay all amounts outstanding under the Prior Credit Agreement.

Under the Credit Agreement, the lenders have agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to (i) provide to the Company a $450 million multicurrency revolving credit facility maturing in November 2026, (ii) permit additional incremental borrowing capacity, subject to conditions stated therein, (iii) replace the existing fixed charge coverage ratio with an interest coverage ratio with a minimum of 2.50 to 1.00, and (iv) replace the existing leverage ratios with a single leverage ratio test of 4.50 to 1.00.

On November 4, 2021, the Company's Board of Directors, authorized the repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of CRD-A or CRD-B (or a combination of the two) through December 31, 2023. Under the new repurchase program, repurchases may be made in the open market or privately negotiated transactions at such times and for such prices as management deems appropriate, subject to applicable regulatory guidelines. The new authorization does not obligate Crawford to acquire any stock, and purchases may be commenced or suspended at any time based on market conditions and other factors that the Company deems appropriate.

COVID-19

The Company has experienced continued recovery from the negative economic impact of COVID-19 in recent months, particularly in the U.S., compared to the significant reductions experienced in the prior year. Due to continued negative impacts in multiple regions, it is uncertain whether such recovery can be sustained and continue. The economic impact from COVID-19 could have a material impact to our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows in one or more future quarters. In addition, it is possible that changes in economic conditions and steps taken by international, federal, state and/or local governments in response to COVID-19 could have negative impacts, including labor shortages which could increase compensation costs and other expenses, unless mitigated by government assistance programs to corporations.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of September 30, 2021, totaled $36.9 million, compared with $44.7 million at December 31, 2020. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2021, totaled $140.6 million, compared with $113.6 million at December 31, 2020.

The Company’s operations provided $20.0 million of cash during 2021, compared with $57.3 million in 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $21.0 million increase in receivables as a result of Hurricane Ida, $6.0 million higher pension contributions and an $11.2 million impact from the CARES Act and CEWS.

The Company made $9.0 million in contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $0.5 million to its U.K. plans for 2021, compared with $3.0 million in contributions to the U.S. plan and $0.5 million to the U.K. plans in 2020.

During 2021, the Company repurchased 530,598 shares of CRD-A and 111,499 shares of CRD-B at an average per share cost of $9.63 and $8.68, respectively. The total cost of share repurchases during 2021 was $6.1 million.

The conference call can be accessed live by dialing 1-833-900-2283 and using Conference ID 5484757. A presentation for tomorrow’s call can also be found on the investor relations portion of the Company’s website, https://ir.crawco.com.

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, goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, gain on disposition of businesses, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable 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 recurring adjustments for depreciation and amortization, net corporate interest expense, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, adjustments for non-recurring expenses for goodwill impairment, restructuring costs and gain on disposition of business have been included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

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, defined benefit pension costs or credits for our frozen U.S. pension plan, 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 and amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets 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. 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:

Due to the non-discrete income tax treatment of the first quarter 2020 goodwill impairment, the income tax benefit normalized as income was earned during the remainder of the year, resulting in a lower full year income tax benefit during 2020.

The Company’s shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbols CRD-A and CRD-B. The Company's two classes of stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting rights and the Company's ability to pay greater cash dividends on the non-voting Class A Common Stock than on the voting Class B Common Stock, subject to certain limitations. In addition, with respect to mergers or similar transactions, holders of Class A Common Stock must receive the same type and amount of consideration as holders of Class B Common Stock, unless different consideration is approved by the holders of 75% of the Class A Common Stock, voting as a class. More information is available at www.crawco.com.

Earnings per share may be different between CRD-A and CRD-B due to the payment of a higher per share dividend on CRD-A than CRD-B, and the impact that has on the earnings per share calculation according to generally accepted accounting principles.

Forward-Looking Statements and Additional Information Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements about the expected future financial condition, results of operations and earnings outlook of Crawford & Company. Statements, both qualitative and quantitative, that are not statements of historical fact may be "forward-looking statements" as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or Crawford & Company's present expectations. Accordingly, no one should place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. Crawford & Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise or not arise after the date the forward-looking statements are made. Results for any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for any other future period. For further information regarding Crawford & Company, and the risks and uncertainties involved in forward-looking statements, please read Crawford & Company's reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov or in the Investor Relations portion of Crawford & Company's website at https://ir.crawco.com. Crawford's business is dependent, to a significant extent, on case volumes. The Company cannot predict the future trend of case volumes for a number of reasons, including the fact that the frequency and severity of weather-related claims and the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, which are a significant source of cases and revenue for the Company, are generally not subject to accurate forecasting. Revenues Before Reimbursements ("Revenues") Revenues Before Reimbursements are referred to as "Revenues" in both consolidated and segment charts, bullets and tables throughout this presentation. Segment and Consolidated Operating Earnings Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," the Company has defined segment operating earnings as the primary measure used by the Company to evaluate the results of each of its three operating segments. Segment operating earnings represent segment earnings, including the direct and indirect costs of certain administrative functions required to operate our business, but excludes unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, gain on disposition of businesses, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Earnings Per Share The Company's two classes of stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting rights and the Company's ability to pay greater cash dividends on the non-voting Class A Common Stock than on the voting Class B Common Stock, subject to certain limitations. In addition, with respect to mergers or similar transactions, holders of Class A Common Stock must receive the same type and amount of consideration as holders of Class B Common Stock, unless different consideration is approved by the holders of 75% of the Class A Common Stock, voting as a class. In certain periods, the Company has paid a higher dividend on CRD-A than on CRD-B. This may result in a different earnings per share ("EPS") for each class of stock due to the two-class method of computing EPS as required by ASC Topic 260 - "Earnings Per Share". The two-class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class of common stock considering both dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Segment Gross Profit Segment gross profit is defined as revenues, less direct costs, which exclude indirect centralized administrative support costs allocated to the business. Indirect expenses consist of centralized administrative support costs, regional and local shared services that are allocated to each segment based on usage. Non-GAAP Financial Information For additional information about certain non-GAAP financial information presented herein, see the Appendix following this presentation.

Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information 24

Slide 25

Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information Measurements of financial performance not calculated in accordance with GAAP should be considered as supplements to, and not substitutes for, performance measurements calculated or derived in accordance with GAAP. Any such measures are not necessarily comparable to other similarly-titled measurements employed by other companies. Reimbursements for Out-of-Pocket Expenses In the normal course of our business, our operating segments incur certain out-of-pocket expenses that are thereafter reimbursed by our clients. Under 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 this presentation, we do not believe it is informative to include in reported revenues the amounts of reimbursed expenses and related revenues, as they offset each other in our consolidated results of operations with no impact to our net income or operating earnings. As a result, unless noted in this presentation, revenue and expense amounts exclude reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses. Net Debt Net debt is computed as the sum of long-term debt, capital leases and short-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that net debt is useful because it provides investors with an estimate of what the Company's debt would be if all available cash was used to pay down the debt of the Company. The measure is not meant to imply that management plans to use all available cash to pay down debt. Free Cash Flow Management believes free cash flow is useful to investors as it presents the amount of cash the Company has generated that can be used for other purposes, including additional contributions to the Company's defined benefit pension plans, discretionary prepayments of outstanding borrowings under our credit agreement, and return of capital to shareholders, among other purposes. It does not represent the residual cash flow of the Company available for discretionary expenditures. Segment and Consolidated Operating Earnings Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by our senior management and chief operating decision maker to evaluate the financial performance of our Company and operating segments and make resource allocation and certain compensation decisions. Management believes operating earnings is useful to others in that it allows them to evaluate segment and consolidated operating performance using the same criteria our management and chief operating decision maker use. Consolidated operating earnings represent segment earnings including certain unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits, but before net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, gain on on disposition of businesses, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Slide 26

Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information (cont.) Segment and Consolidated Gross Profit Gross profit is defined as revenues less direct expenses which exclude indirect overhead expenses allocated to the business. Indirect expenses consist of centralized administrative support costs, regional and local shared services that are allocated to each segment based on usage.   Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our operational results and 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 recurring adjustments for depreciation and amortization, net corporate interest expense, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, adjustments for non-recurring expenses for gain on disposition of businesses have been included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA. 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. Adjusted Revenue, Operating Earnings, Pretax Earnings, Net Income, Diluted Earnings per Share and EBITDA Included in non-GAAP adjusted measurements as an add back or subtraction to GAAP measurements, are impacts of amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, the goodwill impairment and loss on disposition of business, which arise from non-core items not directly related to our normal business or operations, or our future performance. Management believes it is useful to exclude these charges when comparing net income and diluted earnings per share across periods, as these charges are not from ordinary operations.
