Crawford & Company FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS, SEGMENT OPERATING EARNINGS, AND ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 2 Forward-looking statements –This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements about the 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 United States Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov or in the Investor Relations section of Crawford & Company’s website at www.crawfordandcompany.com. 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 Operating Earnings –Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification 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 exclude income taxes, interest expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, stock option expense, earnings or loss attributable to non-controlling interests, certain unallocated corporate and shared costs, and special charges and credits. Earnings Per Share –In certain periods, the Company has paid a higher dividend on CRDA than on CRDB. 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 the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 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. Further references to EPS in this presentation will generally be only for CRDB, as that is the more dilutive measure. Non-GAAP Financial Information –For additional information about certain non-GAAP financial information presented herein, see the Appendix following this presentation.

Crawford & Company 2012 Guidance 21 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 claims and revenue for the Company, are generally not subject to accurate forecasting. Crawford & Company is increasing full year 2012 guidance as follows: Consolidated revenues before reimbursements between $1.05 and $1.08 billion Consolidated operating earnings between $74.5 and $82.0 million Consolidated cash provided by operating activities between $35.0 and $40.0 million After reflecting stock option expense, net corporate interest expense, customer-relationship intangible asset amortization expense, special charges and income taxes, net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company on a GAAP basis between $32.5 and $37.5 million, or $0.56 to $0.66 diluted earnings per CRDB share

Second Quarter 2012 Appendix
![Page 24](https://capedge.com/proxy/10-Q/0000025475-12-000115/exhibit992q22012024.jpg)
Crawford & Company Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information 24 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 the GAAP-required gross up of our revenues and expenses for these pass-through reimbursed expenses. The amounts of reimbursed expenses and related revenues offset each other in our consolidated results of operations with no impact to our net income or operating earnings (loss). 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. Deferred Revenues, net Deferred Revenues, net is computed as the sum of the current and noncurrent deferred revenues as reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets less the sum of the current receivable held in trust to be released to us as payment to service these revenues. The current receivable held in trust is reported as a component of Accounts Receivable in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The funds represented by the amount of the receivable held in trust are released to the Company over time to partially offset the costs of servicing the deferred revenues. Management believes that subtracting the receivable held in trust from deferred revenues provides investors with a snapshot of what the net cash costs will be to service the deferred revenues in the future. 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.
