Management Comments
“Crawford ended 2022 with a quarter and full year of record-breaking revenues, highlighting the strength of our technology and people-focused strategy,” commented Mr. Rohit Verma, chief executive officer of Crawford & Company. “In Platform Solutions and North America Loss Adjusting, we achieved double digit revenue growth and expanded margins in the quarter, driven by the strategic investments we are making in the business. I am especially thankful to our teams that worked against all odds to deliver for our customers during Hurricane Ian, Winter Storm Elliott, the floods in Australia and the winter freeze in the UK. It is times like these that our work is even more meaningful. Broadspire delivered another quarter of solid top-line growth with healthy new business wins and pricing momentum. Our International business remains challenged, however, we have taken specific actions to turn the business around in 2023 and expect to see meaningful improvement in the first half of the year.”
“We are encouraged by the robust growth trajectory going into 2023 and remain focused on ensuring that we deliver on earnings growth and return to healthy margins across the business. We look forward to another successful year ahead; fulfilling our purpose to restore lives, businesses and communities and creating further value for our shareholders,” concluded Mr. Verma.
Segment Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year

The segment had operating earnings of $8.9 million in the 2022 fourth quarter, increasing from $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The operating margin was 11.5% in the 2022 quarter and 4.8% in the 2021 quarter.

International Operations revenues before reimbursements were $88.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, up 0.1% from $88.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2021, including $1.3 million from the BosBoon and Van Dijk acquisitions. Absent foreign exchange rate decreases of $12.8 million, revenues would have been $101.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2022.

The segment’s operating margin for the 2022 quarter was (6.4)% as compared with 1.7% in the 2021 quarter.
International Operations revenues before reimbursements were $357.5 million in 2022, down 0.1% from $357.9 million in 2021, including $4.8 million from the BosBoon and Van Dijk acquisitions. Absent foreign exchange rate decreases of $31.0 million, revenues would have been $388.4 million in 2022.

Broadspire recorded operating earnings of $6.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, representing an operating margin of 8.6%, increasing from $4.5 million, or 6.0% of revenues, in the 2021 fourth quarter.

Operating earnings were $13.0 million in the 2022 fourth quarter, increasing over the $9.2 million in the 2021 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2022 quarter was 16.8% as compared with 14.7% in the 2021 quarter.
Platform Solutions revenues before reimbursements were $243.7 million in 2022, up 22.3% from $199.3 million in 2021, including $17.0 million from the Praxis Consulting acquisition.
Operating earnings were $35.7 million in 2022, increasing over the $32.0 million in the 2021 period. The segment’s operating margin for 2022 was 14.7% as compared with 16.1% in 2021.
Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs and Credits, Net
Unallocated corporate credits were $0.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared with costs of $9.4 million in the same period of 2021. The decrease in the fourth quarter was due to a $3.6 million reduction in incentive compensation and a $6.1 million reduction in professional fees and other unallocated expenses.
Unallocated corporate costs were $5.5 million in 2022, compared with $14.3 million in 2021. The decrease for 2022 was due to a $1.8 million gain on sale of our Canadian head office building in Kitchener Ontario, a $1.8 million reduction in self-insurance expense, a $4.2 million reduction in incentive compensation, and a $4.2 million decrease in professional fees and other unallocated costs, partially offset by the absence of a $3.2 million CEWS benefit which was present in 2021.
Goodwill Impairment
The Company recognized a $36.8 million pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment in the third quarter of 2022. This impairment reduced the carrying value of North American Loss Adjusting and Platform Solutions goodwill by $3.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The Company's International Operations goodwill was fully impaired with a charge of $22.7 million. This charge was partially offset by a $15.9 million reduction in income tax expense during the third quarter.
During the fourth quarter, the income tax benefit of the impairment normalized due to the non-discrete income tax treatment, which resulted in a reduction of the income tax benefit of $12.4 million, or $0.25 per share for the fourth quarter. For the year, the after tax impact of the goodwill impairment was $33.3 million, or $0.67 per share for 2022.
Other Matters
The Company recognized no benefit from CEWS in 2022 or in the 2021 fourth quarter. CEWS benefits totaled $5.9 million for 2021, recorded between North America Loss Adjusting and Unallocated Corporate Costs.
During the 2022 fourth quarter, the Company recognized an $11.8 million income tax reserve, or $0.24 per share, primarily related to previously benefitted tax losses in certain international jurisdictions. These tax assets currently do not expire and are available for future use depending on the profitability of those jurisdictions.
In addition, the Company recognized a pretax contingent earnout credit totaling ($0.3) million in the 2022 fourth quarter and $2.9 million expense for the year, 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 changes to projections of acquired entities over the respective earnout periods, which span multiple years.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of December 31, 2022, totaled $46.0 million, compared with $53.2 million at December 31, 2021. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2022, totaled $238.9 million, compared with $175.0 million at December 31, 2021.
The Company’s operations provided $27.6 million of cash during 2022, compared with $54.3 million provided in 2021. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $19.4 million increase in the change in billed and unbilled accounts receivables, $14.0 million related to incentive compensation, and a $7.9 million decrease in CEWS payments, partially offset by a $9.1 million reduction in defined benefit pension contributions and $5.5 million related to timing of other payments.
The Company made no contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $0.6 million in contributions to its U.K. plans for 2022, compared with $9.0 million in contributions to the U.S. plan and $0.7 million to the U.K. plans in 2021.
During 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. There were no shares repurchased during the 2022 fourth quarter.

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, goodwill impairment, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, reserves on certain income tax assets, 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, goodwill impairment, contingent earnout adjustments, reserves on certain income tax assets, 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, 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, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, and contingent earnout adjustments 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. 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.
Goodwill impairments and reserves on certain income tax assets arise from time to time due to various factors, but are not allocated to our operating segments since they historically have not regularly impacted our performance and are not expected to impact our future performance on a regular 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:

(1) The income tax impact of goodwill impairment was based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate. Due to the non-discrete income tax treatment of the third quarter 2022 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 2022.
Following is information regarding the weighted average shares used in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

(1) The Company had a net loss for GAAP reporting during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, resulting in no additional dilutive securities added to the basic weighted average shares in calculating diluted weighted average shares for GAAP reporting as their impact would be anti-dilutive. As the Company has Non-GAAP positive net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, these dilutive securities were added back to calculate Non-GAAP earnings per share.
Further information regarding the Company’s operating results for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, financial position as of December 31, 2022, and cash flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 is shown on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbols CRD-A and CRD-B.

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.

Crawford & Company Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Earnings Conference Call CRD-A & CRD-B (NYSE)
2 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 four 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, contingent earnout adjustments, goodwill impairments, reserves on certain income tax assets, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to 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.

Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information 21
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, contingent earnout adjustments, goodwill impairments, reserves on certain income tax assets, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.
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, contingent earnout adjustments, goodwill impairments, reserves on certain income tax assets, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. 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 and contingent earnout adjustments, 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.
