Management Comments
Mr. Rohit Verma, chief executive officer of Crawford & Company, stated, “Crawford delivered fourth quarter and full year 2020 results that exceeded expectations, driven by the strength of our core business and the perseverance of our employees. We continued to expand our profitability, with revenue and operating earnings above fourth quarter 2019 levels. At the same time, we strengthened our balance sheet by reducing our net debt to its lowest level since 2013. Our earnings trajectory and strong balance sheet gave us more confidence in our capital allocation strategy allowing us to make two recent transactions, as we welcomed Crawford Carvallo and HBA Group in the fourth quarter, and to restart our stock buyback program in 2021.”
Mr. Verma concluded, “As we embark on 2021, we are confident in our outlook as the COVID-19 pandemic recedes and we see the benefits of our success from new and enhanced client wins. We have realigned our business to not only enhance our client service, but also drive clarity of executing revenue and profit expansion initiatives. Additionally, we will continue to transcend the challenges presented by the pandemic, by staying focused on our strategy, as well as our purpose of restoring and enhancing lives, businesses and communities. We look forward to the journey ahead and delivering further value to our shareholders.”

Restructuring and Other Costs, Net
The Company recognized pretax restructuring and other costs totaling $2.4 million in the 2020 fourth quarter and $8.1 million for the year, related primarily to severance and other termination costs in an effort to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce. For the 2020 fourth quarter, the restructuring and other costs are comprised of $3.7 million severance expense and related payroll taxes, $2.5 million asset impairment and lease termination cost, partially offset by a $1.1 million gain from fair value remeasurement of cost and equity method investments, a $1.2 million liquidation dividend from a cost method investment, and a $1.4 million gain from the sale of IP addresses.
Income Tax Impact of First Quarter Goodwill Impairment
The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment in the 2020 first quarter, totaling $17.7 million, related to its Crawford Claims Solutions segment. 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 fourth quarter, the impact of this treatment decreased the income tax benefit by $0.9 million, or $0.02 per share.
Business Acquisitions
On October 1, 2020, the Company acquired most of the remaining 85% equity interests in Crawford Carvallo and its subsidiaries. Crawford Carvallo is a leading provider for loss adjusting, claims management solutions and legal services in Chile. The purchase price includes an initial lump-sum payment of $11.6 million and a maximum of $11.7 million payable over the next six years based on achieving certain EBITDA performance goals.
Subsequent Events
On November 1, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of HBA Group in Australia. HBA is a legal services provider that will complement the Company’s Crawford TPA Solutions segment in Australia. Due to the two-month reporting lag for reporting its international results, this transaction will be recognized in the 2021 first quarter. The purchase price includes an initial lump-sum payment of $4.1 million, net of working capital adjustment, and a maximum $3.2 million payable over the next four years based on achieving certain revenue and EBITDA performance goals.
In connection with the realignment of operating segment manager responsibilities subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Company has realigned its operating segments by moving to a reporting structure consisting of (1) Loss Adjusting, (2) TPA: Broadspire and (3) Platform Solutions. The Company's revised reportable segments, which will be effective for 2021 reporting, are comprised of the following:
|
|
• |
Loss Adjusting, which services the global property and casualty market. This is comprised of the previously reported Crawford Claims Solutions segment, excluding Networks and Crawford Legal Services, and the Global Technical Services service line previously reported within Crawford Specialty Solutions. |
|
|
• |
TPA: Broadspire, which provides third party administration for workers' compensation, auto and liability, disability absence management, medical management, and accident and health to corporations, brokers and insurers worldwide. This is comprised of the previously reported Broadspire segment and the Crawford Legal Services service line previously reported within the Crawford Claims Solutions segment. |
|
|
• |
Platform Solutions, which consists of Contractor Connection and Networks service lines. This is comprised of the previously reported Contractor Connection service line within Crawford Specialty Solutions and the Networks service line, which includes Catastrophe operations, WeGoLook, and certain international network businesses previously reported within the Crawford Claims Solutions segment. |
The succeeding interim and annual periods will disclose the reportable segments under the new basis with prior periods restated to reflect the change.

COVID-19
The Company estimates that COVID-19 negatively impacted its revenues in the range of $45.0 to $55.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared with the 2019 period. The Company expects the ongoing global economic slowdown resulting from COVID-19 could have a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and cash flow in one or more future quarters.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of December 31, 2020, totaled $44.7 million, compared with $51.8 million at December 31, 2019. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2020, totaled $113.6 million, compared with $177.0 million at December 31, 2019.
The Company’s operations provided $93.2 million of cash during 2020, compared with $75.2 million provided in 2019. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to deferred payroll tax filings of $13.0 million and a benefit from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy totaling $11.8 million. The Company incurred higher software development and capital expenditures in 2020, which partially offset the increase in cash flows from operations. Free cash flow was $55.8 million in 2020, an increase of $1.7 million as compared with the prior year total of $54.1 million.
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 2020, compared with no contributions to the U.S. plan and $0.7 million to the U.K. plans in 2019.
During 2020, the Company repurchased 155,351 shares of CRD-A and 161,459 shares of CRD-B at an average cost of $8.42 per share. The total cost of share repurchases during 2020 was $2.7 million. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the 2020 fourth quarter. However, effective January 1, 2021, the Company has restarted its share repurchase program.

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 and other costs, arbitration and claims settlement, gain on disposition of businesses, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Page 5 of 15
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, stock-based compensation expense and foreign exchange fluctuations. Additionally, adjustments for non-recurring expenses for goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, arbitration and claim settlements and gain on disposition of businesses 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 in order 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:

(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 first quarter 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.

About Crawford & Company
Based in Atlanta, Crawford & Company (NYSE: CRD-A and CRD-B) is the world's largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management and outsourcing solutions to carriers, brokers and corporations with an expansive global network serving clients in more than 70 countries. 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.
