CRAWFORD & COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Crawford & Company (the “Company”) is the world's largest independent provider of claims management solutions to the risk management and insurance industry as well as to self-insured entities, with an expansive global network serving clients in more than 70 countries. The Crawford System of Claims Solutions^® offers comprehensive, integrated claims services, business process outsourcing and consulting services for major product lines including property and casualty claims management, workers' compensation claims and medical management, and legal settlement administration.

Shares of the Company's two classes of common stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols CRDA and CRDB, respectively. 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 Class A Common Stock than on the 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. The Company's website is www.crawfordandcompany.com. The information contained on the Company's website is not a part of, and is not incorporated by reference into, this report.

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the three months and six months ended, and our financial position as of, June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results or financial position that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013 or for other future periods. The financial results of the Company's international subsidiaries, other than those in Canada and the Caribbean, are included in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements on a two-month delayed basis (fiscal year-end of October 31) as permitted by GAAP in order to provide sufficient time for accumulation of their results.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet information presented herein as of December 31, 2012 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The Company consolidates the liabilities of its deferred compensation plan and the related assets, which are held in a rabbi trust and considered a variable interest entity ("VIE") of the Company. The rabbi trust was created to fund the liabilities of the Company's deferred compensation plan. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary of the rabbi trust because the Company directs the activities of the trust and can use the assets of the trust to satisfy the liabilities of the Company's deferred compensation plan. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the liabilities of the deferred compensation plan were $10,241,000 and $10,327,000, respectively, which represented obligations of the Company rather than of the rabbi trust, and the values of the assets held in the related rabbi trust were $15,083,000 and $14,741,000, respectively. These liabilities and assets are included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" and "Other noncurrent assets," respectively, on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2. Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Amounts Reclassified Out of Other Comprehensive Income

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("AOCI")" ("ASU 2013-02"). Under ASU 2013-02, an entity is required to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of AOCI by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. ASU 2013-02 did not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in the financial statements. ASU 2013-02 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2013.

Since ASU 2013-02 is a disclosure-only standard, its adoption did not affect the Company's results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

3. Pending Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." Under ASU 2013-11, an entity is required to net unrecognized tax benefits ("UTBs") against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in settlement of the uncertain tax positions. Under the new standard, UTBs will be netted against all available same-jurisdiction loss or other tax carryforwards that would be utilized, rather than only against carryforwards that are created by the UTBs. ASU 2013-11 is effective for the Company on January 1, 2014 with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material effect on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

4. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive income (loss) for the Company consists of the total of net income, foreign currency translation adjustments, the effective portion of the Company’s interest rate hedges (if any), and accrued pension and retiree medical liability adjustments. The changes in components of "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" ("AOCL"), net of taxes and noncontrolling interests, included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were as follows:

5. Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Crawford & Company per Common Share

We compute earnings per share of our Class A Common Stock ("CRDA") and Class B Common Stock ("CRDB") using the two-class method, which allocates the undistributed earnings for each period to each class on a proportionate basis. The Company's Board of Directors has the right, but not the obligation, to declare higher dividends on CRDA than on CRDB, subject to certain limitations. In periods when the dividend is the same for CRDA and CRDB or when no dividends are declared or paid to either class, the two-class method generally will yield the same earnings per share for CRDA and CRDB. During the first and second quarters of 2013 and 2012 the Board of Directors declared a higher dividend on CRDA than on CRDB.

⁽¹⁾  Compensation cost is recognized for these performance stock grants based on expected achievement rates; however, no consideration is given for these performance stock grants when calculating earnings per share until the performance measurements have actually been achieved. The performance measurements for approximately 455,000 of the Company's outstanding performance stock grants as of June 30, 2013 are expected to be achieved by December 31, 2013.

In May 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (either CRDA or CRDB or both) until May 2015. Under the repurchase program, repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions at such times and for such prices as management deems appropriate, subject to applicable regulatory guidelines. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company repurchased 122,496 and 152,620 shares of CRDA, respectively, at an average cost of $5.20 and $5.15 per share, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company repurchased 50,000 shares of CRDA at an average cost of $3.60 per share and 7,000 shares of CRDB at an average cost of $3.83 per share.

6. Derivative Instruments

From time to time the Company may attempt to manage a portion of its exposure to the impact of interest rate changes by entering into interest rate swap agreements. The Company had a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $85,000,000, which expired September 30, 2012. As a result of entering into a new credit facility in December 2011, this interest rate swap was discontinued as a cash flow hedge of exposure to changes in interest rates. Because it was still probable that the forecasted transactions that were hedged would occur, the amount in AOCL related to the interest rate swap agreement was reclassified into earnings as an increase to interest expense over the remaining life of the interest rate swap agreement as the forecasted transactions occurred.

In February 2011, the Company entered into a U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar ("CAD") cross currency basis swap with an initial notional amount of CAD34,749,000 as an economic hedge to an intercompany note payable to the U.S. parent by our Canadian subsidiary. The cross currency basis swap requires the Canadian subsidiary to deliver quarterly payments of CAD589,000 to the counterparty and entitles the U.S. parent to receive quarterly payments of U.S. $593,000. The Canadian subsidiary also makes interest payments to the counterparty based on 3-month Canada Bankers Acceptances plus a spread, and the U.S. parent receives payments based on U.S. 3-month LIBOR. The cross currency basis swap expires on September 30, 2025. We have elected to not designate this swap as a hedge of the intercompany note from our Canadian subsidiary. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of this swap, as well as changes in the value of the intercompany note, are recorded as gains or losses in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Incomeover the term of the swap and are expected to substantially offset one another. The changes in the fair value of the cross currency basis swap will not exactly offset changes in the value of the intercompany note, as the fair value of this swap is determined based on forward rates while the value of the intercompany note is determined based on end of period spot rates. The fair value of the cross currency basis swap was a net asset of $784,000 at June 30, 2013 and a net liability of $752,000 at December 31, 2012.

The Company’s swap agreement contains a provision providing that if the Company is in default under its credit facility, the Company may also be deemed to be in default under its swap agreement. If there were such a default, the Company could be required to contemporaneously settle some or all of the obligation under the swap agreement at values determined at the time of default. At June 30, 2013, no such default existed, and the Company had no assets posted as collateral under its swap agreement.

7. Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:

			Active Markets		Inputs		Inputs
(in thousands)	Total		(Level 1)		(Level 2)		(Level 3)

Derivative not designated as hedging instrument:
Cross currency basis swap (2)	784		—		784		—

________________________________________________

⁽¹⁾  The fair values of the money market funds were based on recently quoted market prices and reported transactions in an active marketplace. Money market funds are reported on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Cash and cash equivalents."

⁽²⁾  The fair value of the cross currency basis swap was derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and the forward curves for interest rates adjusted for the Company’s credit risk. At June 30, 2013, the fair value of the cross currency basis swap is included in "Other noncurrent assets" on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the cross currency basis swap.

Fair Value Disclosures

There were no transfers between fair value levels during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2013.

The fair values of accounts receivable, unbilled revenues, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The interest rate on the Company's variable rate long-term debt resets every 90 days; therefore, the recorded value approximates fair value.

8. Defined Benefit Pension Plans

Net periodic benefit cost related to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 included the following components:

	Three months ended						Six months ended

Net periodic benefit cost	$	1,723		$	1,095		$	3,212		$	2,200

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, the Company made contributions of $5,000,000 and $3,195,000, respectively, to its underfunded U.S. and U.K. defined benefit pension plans, compared with contributions of $4,556,000 and $3,357,000, respectively, for the comparable period in 2012. The Company is required to make contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan of $2,600,000 for each remaining quarter of 2013, plus an additional payment of $7,800,000 in September 2013. There are no required contributions to the U.K. plans for 2013; however, the Company expects to make additional contributions of approximately $1,700,000 per quarter during the remainder of 2013.

9. Income Taxes

The Company’s consolidated effective income tax rate may change periodically due to changes in enacted tax rates, fluctuations in the mix of income earned from the Company’s various domestic and international operations, which are subject to income taxes at different rates, the Company’s ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and amounts related to uncertain income tax positions. At June 30, 2013, the Company estimates that its effective annual income tax rate for 2013 will be approximately 36% before considering any discrete items.

10. Segment Information

Financial information for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 related to the Company’s reportable segments, including a reconciliation from segment operating earnings to income before income taxes, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is presented below.

Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by the Company’s senior management and chief operating decision maker to evaluate the financial performance of the Company’s four operating segments. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors in that it allows investors to evaluate segment operating performance using the same criteria used by the Company’s senior management. Operating earnings will differ from net income computed in accordance with GAAP since operating earnings represent segment earnings (loss) before certain unallocated corporate and shared costs, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, special charges and credits, income taxes, and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Segment operating earnings (loss) includes allocations of certain corporate and shared costs. If the Company changes its allocation methods or changes the types of costs that are allocated to itsfouroperating segments, prior period amounts presented in the current period financial statements are adjusted to reflect the current allocation process.

Revenues by major service line in the U.S. and by area for other regions in the Americas segment and by major service line for the Broadspire segment are shown in the following table. It is not practicable to provide revenues by service line for the EMEA/AP segment. Legal Settlement Administration considers all of its revenues to be derived from one service line.

The Company has entered into one additional significant operating lease since the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. In January 2013, the Company entered into a 10-year operating lease agreement for approximately 24,000 square feet of office space in Berkeley Heights, NJ, primarily for our Broadspire segment. The lease began July 1, 2013. Total lease payments over the 10-year term are approximately $6,900,000. Additionally, the Company is responsible for certain related real estate taxes and operating expenses.

As part of the Company’s credit facility, the Company maintains a letter of credit facility to satisfy certain of its own contractual requirements. At June 30, 2013, the aggregate committed amount of letters of credit outstanding under the credit facility was $17,837,000.

In the normal course of the claims administration services business, the Company is sometimes named as a defendant in suits by insureds or claimants contesting decisions made by the Company or its clients with respect to the settlement of claims. Additionally, certain clients of the Company have in the past brought, and may in the future bring, actions for indemnification on the basis of alleged negligence by the Company, its agents, or its employees in rendering services to clients. The majority of these claims are of the type covered by insurance maintained by the Company. However, the Company is responsible for the deductibles and self-insured retentions under various insurance coverages. In the opinion of Company management, adequate provisions have been made for such known and foreseeable risks.

The Company is subject to numerous federal, state, and foreign employment laws, and from time to time the Company faces claims by its employees and former employees under such laws. Such claims or litigation involving the Company or any of the Company’s current or former employees could divert management’s time and attention from the Company’s business operations and could potentially result in substantial costs of defense, settlement or other disposition, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, and cash flows. In the opinion of Company management, adequate provisions have been made for such known and foreseeable risks.

12. Special Charges and Other Income

Special Charges

There were no special charges during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2013.

Other Income

Other income includes dividend income from our unconsolidated subsidiaries and miscellaneous other income. Included in "Other income" for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a $2,286,000 gain from the sale of the rights to a customer contract in Latin America in the first quarter of 2013.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Crawford & Company

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of Crawford & Company as of June 30, 2013, and the related condensed consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and shareholders' investment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Crawford & Company as of December 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows, and shareholders' investment for the year then ended (not presented herein) and we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements in our report dated March 18, 2013. In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of as of December 31, 2012, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

• changes in market conditions or legislation (including judicial interpretation thereof) relating to class actions, which may make it more difficult for plaintiffs to bring such actions,

• changes in the frequency or severity of man-made or natural disasters,

• the ability of our third-party service providers, used for certain aspects of our internal business functions, to meet expected service levels,

• our ability to prevent cybersecurity breaches and cyber incidents,

• our ability to achieve targeted integration goals with the consolidation and migration of Broadspire software platforms,

• risks to other shareholders due to control by a principal shareholder,

• our ability to remediate a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, in the area of accounting for income taxes, and

• impairments of goodwill or our other indefinite-lived intangible assets.

As a result, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements.

21

Actual results and trends in the future may differ materially from those suggested or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and we undertake no obligation to publicly update any of these forward-looking statements in light of new information or future events.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with 1) our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and 2) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. As described in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation," the financial results of the Company's international subsidiaries, other than those in Canada and the Caribbean, are included in our consolidated financial statements on a two-month delayed basis (fiscal year-end of October 31) as permitted by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in order to provide sufficient time for accumulation of their results.

Business Overview

Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Crawford & Company (www.crawfordandcompany.com) is the world’s largest independent provider of claims management solutions to the risk management and insurance industry, as well as to self-insured entities, with an expansive global network serving clients in more than 70 countries. The Crawford System of Claims Solutions^® offers comprehensive, integrated claims services, business process outsourcing and consulting services for major product lines including property and casualty claims management, workers’ compensation claims and medical management, and legal settlement administration.

Shares of the Company's two classes of common stock are traded on the NYSE under the symbols CRDA and CRDB, respectively. 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 Class A Common Stock than on the 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.

As discussed in more detail in subsequent sections of this MD&A, we have four operating segments: Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific ("EMEA/AP"), Broadspire, and Legal Settlement Administration. Certain marketing functions that were previously included in each segment are now included in our corporate administrative costs and allocated back to the segments. The results of prior periods have been revised to conform to the current presentation. Our four operating segments represent components of our Company for which separate financial information is available, and which is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker ("CODM") in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing operating performance. Americas primarily serves the property and casualty insurance company markets in the U.S., Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean. EMEA/APserves the property and casualty insurance company and self-insurance markets in Europe, including the United Kingdom ("U.K."), the Middle East, Africa, and Asia-Pacific (which includes Australia and New Zealand). Broadspireserves the self-insurance marketplace, primarily in the U.S.Legal Settlement Administrationserves the securities, bankruptcy, and other legal settlement markets, primarily in the U.S.

Insurance companies, which represent a major source of our global revenues, customarily manage their own claims administration function but often rely on third parties for certain services which we provide, primarily field investigation and the evaluation of property and casualty insurance claims. We also conduct inspections of building component products related to warranty and product performance claims.

Self-insured entities typically rely on us for a broader range of services. In addition to field investigation and evaluation of their claims, we may also provide initial loss reporting services for their claimants, loss mitigation services such as medical bill review, medical case management and vocational rehabilitation, risk management information services, and administration of trust funds established to pay their claims.

We also perform legal settlement administration services related to securities, product liability, and other class action settlements and bankruptcies, including identifying and qualifying class members, determining and dispensing settlement payments, and administering settlement funds. Such services are usually referred to by us as class action services.

22

The claims management services market, both in the U.S. and internationally, is highly competitive and comprised of a large number of companies of varying size and that offer a varied scope of services. The demand from insurance companies and self-insured entities for services provided by independent claims service firms like us is largely dependent on industry-wide claims volumes, which are affected by, among other things, the insurance underwriting cycle, weather-related events, general economic activity, overall employment levels, and associated workplace injury rates. We are also impacted by decisions insurance companies and other clients may make with respect to the level of claims outsourced to independent claim service firms as opposed to those handled by their own in-house claims adjusters or contracted to other third-party administrators, whether or not associated with insurance companies. Accordingly, we are limited in our ability to predict case volumes in any period. In addition, our ability to retain clients and maintain and increase case referrals is also dependent in part on our ability to continue to provide high-quality, competitively priced services and effective sales efforts.

We typically earn our revenues on an individual fee-per-case basis for claims management services we provide to property and casualty insurance companies and self-insured entities. Accordingly, the volume of claim referrals to us is a key driver of our revenues. Generally, fees are earned on cases in the period the case is assigned to us, although sometimes a portion or substantially all of the revenues generated by a specific case assignment will be earned in subsequent periods. We cannot predict the future trend of case volumes for a number of reasons, including the frequency and severity of weather-related events and the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, which are a significant source of cases for us and are not subject to accurate forecasting.

The legal settlement administration market is also highly competitive but is comprised of a smaller number of specialized entities. The demand for legal settlement administration services is generally not directly tied to or affected by the insurance underwriting cycle. The demand for these services is largely dependent on the volume of securities and product liability class action settlements, the volume of Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings and the resulting settlements, and general economic conditions. Our revenues from legal settlement administration services are largely project-based and we earn these revenues as we perform individual tasks and deliver the outputs as outlined in each project.

Results of Operations

Executive Summary

Consolidated revenues before reimbursements increased 1.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and increased 4.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the same periods of 2012. The increases in revenues for the second quarter and six months were primarily due to increases in revenues in our Legal Settlement Administration, Americas, and Broadspire segments, offsetting a decrease in revenues in our EMEA/AP segment. The impact of foreign currency translation was not significant for any segment in the second quarter or first six months of 2013.

Consolidated net income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2012 included a pretax special charge of $1.6 million and $2.5 million, respectively, for severance costs, stay bonuses and certain other expenses related to a project to outsource certain aspects of our U.S. technology infrastructure to a third-party service provider. There were no special charges during the three months or six months ended June 30, 2013.

Included in "Other income" for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a $2.3 million gain from the sale of the rights to a customer contract in Latin America. This amount is included in the Americas segment operating earnings.

Selling, General, and Administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were 1.1% lower in the quarter and 2.3% higher in the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with the same periods of 2012. The decrease in costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 was due to a $2.1 million decrease in self-insured expenses and a $0.6 million reduction in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in compensation expense, a $0.6 million adjustment to the estimated loss on a leased facility the Company no longer uses and higher professional fees. The increased costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 were due to a $5.2 million increase in professional fees, $0.5 million in foreign currency exchange losses, the $0.6 million adjustment to the estimated loss on a leased facility the Company no longer uses and $0.5 million in increases to various other expenses, partially offset by a $1.5 million reduction in bad debt expense and a $2.7 million decrease in self-insured expenses.

Operating Earnings (Loss) of our Operating Segments

We believe that a discussion and analysis of the segment operating earnings (loss) of our four operating segments is helpful in understanding the results of our operations. Operating earnings is our segment measure of profitability presented in conformity with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 280 “Segment Reporting.” Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by our senior management and CODM to evaluate the financial performance of our operating segments and make resource allocation decisions. We believe this measure is useful to others in that it allows them to evaluate segment operating performance using the same criteria our management and CODM use. Segment operating earnings (loss) represent segment earnings (loss) before certain unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, special charges, income taxes, and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Income tax expense, 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 (loss) because they are managed on a corporate-wide basis. Income tax expense is calculated for the Company on a consolidated basis based on statutory rates in effect in the various jurisdictions in which we provide services, and varies significantly by jurisdiction. Net corporate interest expense results from capital structure decisions made by senior management and 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 customer-relationship 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.

Special charges arise from time to time from events (such as expenses related to restructurings, losses on subleases, etc.) that are not allocated to any particular segment since they historically have not regularly impacted our performance and are not expected to impact our future performance on a regular basis.

Unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits represent 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, and certain self-insurance costs and recoveries that are not allocated to our individual operating segments.

Additional discussion and analysis of our income tax expense, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, unallocated corporate and shared costs, and special charges follows the discussion and analysis of the results of operations of our four operating segments.

Segment Revenues

In the normal course of 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 revenues and expenses in our consolidated results of operations. 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 (loss). 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 Income. Unless noted in the following discussion and analysis, revenue amounts exclude reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses.

Segment Expenses

Our discussion and analysis of segment operating expenses is comprised of two components. “Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits” includes all compensation, payroll taxes, and benefits provided to our employees which, as a service company, represents our most significant and variable operating expense. “Expenses Other Than Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits” includes outsourced services, office rent and occupancy costs, office operating expenses, cost of risk, amortization and depreciation expense other than amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, and allocated corporate and shared costs. These costs are more fixed in nature as compared with direct compensation and fringe benefits. Expense amounts in the following discussion and analysis exclude reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses.

Allocated corporate and shared costs are allocated to our four operating segments based primarily on usage. These allocated costs are included in the determination of segment operating earnings.

AMERICAS

Operating earnings for our Americas segment increased from $1.4 million, or 1.8% of revenues before reimbursements, in the second quarter of 2012, to $4.4 million, or 5.3% of revenues before reimbursements, in the second quarter of 2013. For the six months ended June 30, segment operating earnings increased from $0.9 million, or 0.6% of revenues before reimbursements, in 2012 to $7.6 million, or 4.6% of revenues before reimbursements in 2013. The second quarter 2013 increase in Americas operating earnings compared to 2012 was primarily due to continued growth in our Contractor Connection direct repair network, cost reductions in Canada, and higher revenues in Latin America. The year-to-date period was also positively impacted by additional claims handling resulting from Superstorm Sandy and a $2.3 million gain from the sale of the rights to a customer contract in Latin America, both in the 2013 first quarter.

Revenues before Reimbursements

Americas revenues are primarily generated from the property and casualty insurance company markets in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, with additional revenues generated from Contractor Connection. Americas revenues before reimbursements by major service line in the U.S. and by area for other regions for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
( in thousands, except percentages)	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		Variance		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		Variance

Total Revenues before Reimbursements	$	82,634	$	77,575	6.5	%	$	166,878	$	155,099	7.6	%

Revenues were positively impacted by segment unit volume, measured principally by cases received, which increased by 11.0% and 10.9% for the quarter and six months, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2012. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced our Americas revenues by approximately 1.1% and 0.9% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. Partially offsetting the increase in segment unit volume was an overall unfavorable change in the mix of services provided and in the rates charged for those services, which decreased revenues by approximately 3.4% and 2.4% in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

Total U.S. Claims Services revenues declined slightly during the 2013second quarter when compared to the same quarter in 2012. The slight decline was attributable to changes in the mix of services provided, as cases received increased slightly as discussed below. Revenues for the year-to-date period increased 8.2% compared with 2012, despite a decline in cases received, primarily due to the ongoing handling of claims associated with Superstorm Sandy in the first quarter of 2013. The increase in Contractor Connection revenues in the second quarter and first six months of 2013 was due to the ongoing expansion of our contractor network and to the continued trend of insurance carriers moving high-frequency, low-severity property cases directly to repair networks.

Revenues in Canada increased slightly in the second quarter of 2013 but declined slightly in the first six months of 2013, despite increases in cases received, due to changes in the mix of cases received.

The revenue increases in Latin America/Caribbean for the second quarter and first six months of 2013 were due to the increase in cases received and to a favorable shift in the mix of services provided.

Reimbursed Expenses included in Total Revenues

Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses included in total revenues for our Americas segment were $4.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. Reimbursements for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $8.5 million, compared with $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The increases were due to increases of $0.8 million and $1.4 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2012 resulting from the handling of claims associated with Superstorm Sandy in the U.S. and the growth in Brazil's automotive claim business. These increases were offset by lower expenses in Canada. Expenses were higher in Canada in 2012 due to a special project.

Case Volume Analysis

Americas unit volumes by underlying case category, as measured by cases received, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
(whole numbers, except percentages )	June 30, 2013	June 30, 2012	Variance		June 30, 2013	June 30, 2012	Variance
U.S. Claims Field Operations	50,152	50,574	(0.8	)%	90,891	99,668	(8.8	)%
U.S. Technical Services	1,619	1,845	(12.2	)%	3,280	3,763	(12.8	)%
U.S. Catastrophe Services	8,675	7,514	15.5	%	19,828	12,966	52.9	%
Subtotal U.S. Claims Services	60,446	59,933	0.9	%	113,999	116,397	(2.1	)%
Contractor Connection	48,050	40,823	17.7	%	90,700	72,769	24.6	%
Subtotal U.S. Property & Casualty	108,496	100,756	7.7	%	204,699	189,166	8.2	%
Canada--all service lines	32,061	26,754	19.8	%	62,475	53,769	16.2	%
Latin America/Caribbean--all service lines	19,504	16,735	16.5	%	35,209	29,714	18.5	%
Total Americas Cases Received	160,061	144,245	11.0	%	302,383	272,649	10.9	%

Total cases received for U.S. Claims Services increased slightly in the second quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2012 but decreased 2.1% for the comparable year-to-date period, reflecting the lack of major weather-related catastrophes. The 2013 increases in Contractor Connection cases were due to the ongoing expansion of our direct repair network and to the continued trend of insurance carriers moving high-frequency, low-severity property cases directly to repair networks.

The 2013 increases in cases in Canada and Latin America and the Caribbean were due primarily to increases in high-frequency, low-severity automotive and affinity claims. Canada also experienced an increase in weather-related claims in the second quarter.

Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

The most significant expense in our Americas segment is the compensation of employees, including related payroll taxes and fringe benefits. Americas direct compensation and fringe benefits expense, as a percent of segment revenues before reimbursements, was 61.4% in the second quarter of 2013, decreasing from 64.3% in the second quarter of 2012. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, Americas direct compensation and fringe benefits expense, as a percent of segment revenue before reimbursements, was 62.9%, decreasing from 65.7% in the comparable 2012 period. The decreases were due to increased staff utilization.

The dollar amount of these expenses increased in the 2013three-month period to $50.7 million from $49.9 million in the comparable 2012 period, and for the 2013six-month period increased to $104.9 million from $101.9 million in the comparable 2012 period. There was an average of 2,651 full-time equivalent employees (including 182 catastrophe adjusters) in this segment during the first six months of 2013, compared with an average of 2,669 employees (including 102 catastrophe adjusters) during the 2012 period.

Americas salaries and wages totaled $42.9 million and $42.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the first six months of 2013 and 2012, Americas salaries and wages totaled $87.7 million and $84.7 million, respectively. The increases in salaries and wages in 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 were a result of the increased use of catastrophe adjusters in 2013. Compensation expense was also higher in Contractor Connection and Latin America due to increased FTEs which were partially offset by a reduction in employees in Canada. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits for Americas totaled $7.8 million and $7.7 million in the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. For both of the the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, payroll taxes and fringe benefits for Americas totaled $17.2 million.

27

Expenses Other than Reimbursements, Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

Americas expenses other than reimbursements, direct compensation and related payroll taxes and fringe benefits were $27.5 million, or 33.3% of segment revenues before reimbursements, for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared with $26.3 million, or 33.9% of segment revenues before reimbursements, for the comparable quarter of 2012. The increase was due to higher expenses in Contractor Connection associated with its increased revenue. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, these expenses were $54.3 million, or 32.5% of segment revenues before reimbursements, compared with $52.3 million, or 33.7% of segment revenues before reimbursements, in the comparable 2012 period. The increase was primarily due to a $1.0 million increase in outsourced services associated with handling the Superstorm Sandy claims, a $1.4 million increase in outsourced services in Canada in order to handle the increase in automotive claims and the higher expenses in Contractor Connection, partially offset by the $2.3 million gain from the sale of the rights to a customer contract in Latin America previously discussed.

EMEA/AP

Operating earnings in our EMEA/AP segment decreased to $8.4 million, or 9.6% of revenues before reimbursements, for the three months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 2012second quarter operating earnings of $11.7 million, or 12.5% of revenues before reimbursements. Operating earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2013 decreased to $15.2 million, or 8.7% of revenues before reimbursements, from $17.3 million, or 9.9% of revenues before reimbursements, in the comparable period of 2012. The decrease in EMEA/AP operating earnings for the quarter and year-to-date period was primarily due to lower revenue in the U.K. and increased compensation expenses to handle the change in the mix of services between periods. The quarter was also impacted by lower revenue in Asia-Pacific.

Revenues before Reimbursements

EMEA/AP revenues are primarily derived from the property and casualty insurance company market, with additional revenues from the self-insured market. Revenues before reimbursements by major region for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
( in thousands, except percentages)	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		Variance		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		Variance
U.K.	$	30,329	$	35,527	(14.6	)%	$	62,092	$	68,707	(9.6	)%
Continental Europe, Middle East, Africa (“CEMEA”)	26,984		25,520		5.7	%	54,157		49,046		10.4	%
Asia-Pacific	30,280		32,773		(7.6	)%	58,933		57,857		1.9	%
Total EMEA/AP Revenues before Reimbursements	$	87,593	$	93,820	(6.6	)%	$	175,182	$	175,610	(0.2	)%

The overall decrease in revenues for the second quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2012 was due to a decrease in revenues in the U.K. and Asia-Pacific, partially offset by an increase in CEMEA. U.K. cases and revenues declined due to a continued reduction in weather-related activity compared with the prior year period. The increase in revenues in CEMEA for the second quarter of 2013 compared with the second quarter of 2012 was due to growth in high frequency, low severity claims in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Sweden from new and existing clients. The lower revenues in Asia-Pacific were associated with a decline in fees for the ongoing handling of claims resulting from the 2011 Thailand flooding event, which were partially offset by $1.5 million in higher weather-related revenues in Australia. Revenues from Thailand for the 2013 second quarter were $5.3 million compared with revenues in the 2012 second quarter of $8.2 million.

Revenues were relatively unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 due to an increase in revenues from CEMEA and Asia-Pacific, offset by a decrease in the U.K. U.K. cases and revenues declined due to a continued reduction in weather-related activity compared with the prior year period. The increase in revenues in CEMEA for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 was due to growth in high frequency, low severity claims in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Sweden from new and existing clients and a $900,000 performance bonus from a client in Italy. The higher revenues in Asia-Pacific were due to a $3.2 million increase in revenues in Australia, partially offset by a decline in fees for the ongoing handling of claims resulting from the 2011 Thailand flooding event. Year-to-date revenues from Thailand were $9.6 million compared with year-to-date revenues in 2012 of $10.8 million. We expect a high level of activity in Thailand for the remainder of 2013, although no assurances can be provided.

28

As provided below, overall case volumes decreased 2.1% and 2.2% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods of 2012. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced our EMEA/AP segment revenues by approximately 2.0% and 0.7% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, as compared with the 2012 periods. Changes in product mix and in the rates charged for those services accounted for a revenue decrease of approximately 2.5% for the three-months ended June 30, 2013 and a revenue increase of approximately 2.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with the same periods in 2012.

Reimbursed Expenses included in Total Revenues

Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses included in total revenues for our EMEA/AP segment decreased to $8.5 million and $16.6 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, from $11.8 million and $20.8 million in the comparable 2012 periods. These decreases resulted primarily from higher expenses incurred in 2012 to administer the Thailand flood claims.

Case Volume Analysis

EMEA/AP unit volumes by region, measured by cases received, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
(whole numbers, except percentages)	June 30, 2013	June 30, 2012	Variance		June 30, 2013	June 30, 2012	Variance
U.K.	24,067	29,033	(17.1	)%	51,152	62,075	(17.6	)%
CEMEA	55,493	51,044	8.7	%	105,891	92,546	14.4	%
Asia-Pacific	37,575	39,550	(5.0	)%	72,611	80,251	(9.5	)%
Total EMEA/AP Cases Received	117,135	119,627	(2.1	)%	229,654	234,872	(2.2	)%

The decreases in cases received in the U.K. in the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 were due to a continued decline in the general property market resulting from reduced weather-related case activity.

The 2013 increases in CEMEA cases resulted primarily from growth in high frequency, low severity claims in the Netherlands, Germany, Spain and Sweden from new and existing clients.

The decreases in Asia-Pacific cases were due to a decline in new weather-related cases in Thailand and fewer high-frequency, low-severity claims in China. Many of the flood-related cases in Thailand were received in prior periods, with the revenues from these cases recognized as services are rendered. Accordingly, changes in revenues may not correlate to changes in the number of cases received in any period.

Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

As a percentage of revenues before reimbursements, direct compensation expenses, including related payroll taxes and fringe benefits, were 66.2% and 65.0% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with 60.2% and 62.0% for each of the comparable periods in 2012. The increases were a function of the mix of services provided and lower utilization of our staff. The dollar amount of these expenses increased for the three-month period to $58.0 million in 2013 from $56.5 million in 2012, and for the six-month period to $113.9 million in 2013, from $108.9 million in 2012. There was an average of 3,066 full-time equivalent employees in this segment in the first six months of 2013 compared with an average of 3,095 in the 2012 period. While the number of full-time equivalent employees declined in total for the segment, they increased in CEMEA and Asia-Pacific in order to handle the increased work and the change in the mix of services provided in those areas.

Salaries and wages of EMEA/AP segment personnel were $48.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $48.1 million in the comparable 2012 period. For the six-month period, salaries and wages of EMEA/AP segment personnel increased to $95.7 million in 2013 from $92.8 million in 2012. The increase was due to the increased number of full-time equivalent employees in CEMEA and Asia-Pacific. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits for the EMEA/AP segment totaled $9.2 million and $18.4 million for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $8.4 million and $16.1 million for the same periods in 2012. This increase was primarily due to higher defined benefit pension expense in the U.K. and the increased number of full-time equivalent employees in CEMEA and Asia-Pacific.

29

Expenses Other than Reimbursements, Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

Expenses other than reimbursements, direct compensation and related payroll taxes and fringe benefits were 24.4% and 26.4% of EMEA/AP revenues before reimbursements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, decreasing from 27.3% and 28.1%, respectively, for the comparable periods in 2012. The dollar amount of these expenses decreased in the 2013second quarter to $21.2 million from $25.6 million in the second quarter of 2012 and to $46.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 from $49.4 million in the comparable period in 2012. The decreases primarily resulted from lower outsourced services expenses incurred to administer the Thailand flood claims and a reduction in bad debt expenses due to improved collections.

BROADSPIRE

Our Broadspire segment reported operating earnings of $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2013, compared with an operating loss of $0.4 million in the second quarter of 2012. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, Broadspire's operating earnings were $2.6 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.4 million for the comparable period in 2012. The improvement in operating earnings is primarily due to a one-time increase in revenues and operating earnings of approximately $3.0 million. This increase was due to Broadspire being relieved of the obligation to continue to service certain clients' claims under lifetime pricing contracts and the associated release of the remaining deferred revenue for those claims. Operating earnings were also positively impacted by higher medical management revenue.

Revenues before Reimbursements

Broadspire segment revenues are primarily derived from workers’ compensation and liability claims management, medical management services, such as medical bill review, medical case management and vocational rehabilitation for workers’ compensation, and risk management information services provided to the U.S. self-insured market place. Broadspire revenues before reimbursements by major service line for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three months ended						Six months ended
( in thousands, except percentages)	June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		Variance		June 30, 2013		June 30, 2012		Variance
Workers' Compensation and Liability Claims Management	$	28,689	$	25,010	14.7	%	$	52,673	$	50,117	5.1	%
Medical Management	33,032		30,929		6.8	%	62,993		62,205		1.3	%
Risk Management Information Services	4,047		4,025		0.5	%	7,899		8,031		(1.6	)%
Total Broadspire Revenues before Reimbursements	$	65,768	$	59,964	9.7	%	$	123,565	$	120,353	2.7	%

Unit volumes for the Broadspire segment, measured principally by cases received, increased 5.4% from the 2012 second quarter to the 2013 second quarter, and increased 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012. Approximately 4.0% of the volume increase for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 was due to the addition of approximately 5,000 incident reports from a major client in first quarter 2013, discussed below. The increases in revenues for three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 were primarily due to a one-time increase in workers' compensation and liability claims management revenues of approximately $3.0 million previously discussed, or 4.7% and 0.2% of revenues for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012. Results for the quarter were also positively impacted by higher medical management revenues due to increased referrals. After adjusting for the incident-only cases and the one-time benefit above, the overall mix of services provided and in the rates charged for those services accounted for a decrease of 0.4% and 1.7% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012.

Reimbursed Expenses included in Total Revenues

Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses included in total revenues for the Broadspire segment were $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $1.0 million and $2.0 million in the comparable 2012 periods.

30

Case Volume Analysis

Broadspire unit volumes by major underlying case category, as measured by cases received, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
(whole numbers, except percentages)	June 30, 2013	June 30, 2012	Variance		June 30, 2013	June 30, 2012	Variance
Workers’ Compensation	38,737	39,238	(1.3	)%	75,016	76,571	(2.0	)%
Casualty	18,012	16,523	9.0	%	41,208	32,160	28.1	%
Other	7,982	5,670	40.8	%	12,810	10,567	21.2	%
Total Broadspire Cases Received	64,731	61,431	5.4	%	129,034	119,298	8.2	%

The 2013 decrease in workers’ compensation cases was a result of client losses. The increase in casualty cases in 2013 primarily resulted from increased claim referrals related to a special project for one of our clients which began in 2013. The year-to-date period was also impacted by the receipt in the first quarter of 2013 of approximately 5,000 incident reports from a major client for which we receive little or no revenue and incur little or no associated costs. The increase in other cases in 2013 was primarily due to increased referrals to our health management services.

Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

Our most significant expense in our Broadspire segment is the compensation of employees, including related payroll taxes and fringe benefits. Broadspire direct compensation and fringe benefits expense, as a percent of the related revenues before reimbursements, decreased from 54.9% for the 2012second quarter to 49.1% in the 2013second quarter. For the six months ended June 30, direct compensation and fringe benefits, as a percent of revenues before reimbursements, decreased from 55.1% in 2012 to 51.8% in 2013. These decreases were due to lower costs from a decrease in the number of employees due to the increased use of outsourced service providers. Average full-time equivalent employees in this segment totaled 1,578 in the first six months of 2013, down from 1,681 in the 2012 period.

Broadspire segment salaries and wages totaled $27.2 million and $53.0 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $27.6 million and $54.6 million, respectively, in the comparable 2012 periods. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits for the Broadspire segment totaled $5.1 million and $11.0 million in the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, decreasing from $5.3 million and $11.7 million, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2012. These decreases were primarily the result of the reduction in the number of full-time equivalent employees for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with the same periods in 2012, partially offset by higher incentive compensation expense in 2013 resulting from the improved results.

Expenses Other than Reimbursements, Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

Broadspire segment expenses other than reimbursements, direct compensation and related payroll taxes and fringe benefits as a percent of revenues before reimbursements were 44.3% and 46.1%, respectively, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with 45.7% and 45.2%, respectively, in the comparable 2012 periods. The amount of these expenses increased 6.3% for the quarter and 4.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The primary reason for the increases was due to the increased use of outsourced service providers.

LEGAL SETTLEMENT ADMINISTRATION

Legal Settlement Administration revenues in 2013 have remained high primarily as a result of our continued work on the Deepwater Horizon class action settlement, as well as a number of other meaningful class action and bankruptcy matters which are offsetting expected declines in Deepwater Horizon revenues. We currently expect activity on this special project to continue for the remainder of 2013, although at a reduced rate. No assurances of timing of the Deepwater Horizon class action settlement end date and, therefore continued revenues, can be provided.

Our Legal Settlement Administration segment reported operating earnings of $16.5 million and $28.5 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $15.8 million and $26.5 million in the comparable 2012 periods, respectively. The related segment operating margin increased from 25.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 to 26.3% in the comparable 2013 period, and decreased slightly from 24.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to 23.9% in the comparable 2013 period. The change in the operating margin for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same periods in 2012 was primarily the result of changes in the mix of services provided.

31

Revenues before Reimbursements

Legal Settlement Administration revenues are primarily derived from securities, product liability and other legal settlement services, and bankruptcy claim administration. Legal Settlement Administration revenues before reimbursements increased 0.7% to $63.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $62.5 million for the comparable 2012 period. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, Legal Settlement Administration revenues before reimbursements increased to $119.6 million, compared with $110.5 million for the same period in 2012. Legal Settlement Administration revenues are project-based and can fluctuate significantly in any period. At June 30, 2013 we had a backlog of projects awarded totaling approximately $130.0 million, compared with $73.0 million at June 30, 2012. Of the $130.0 million backlog at June 30, 2013, an estimated $77.6 million is expected to be recognized as revenues over the remainder of 2013.

Reimbursed Expenses included in Total Revenues

The nature and volume of work performed in our Legal Settlement Administration segment typically requires more reimbursable out-of-pocket expenditures than our other operating segments. Reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses included in total revenues for Legal Settlement Administration in the second quarter were $13.5 million in 2013 and $8.7 million in 2012. Reimbursements for the six months ended June 30 were $20.9 million in 2013 and $13.9 million in 2012. The variances were due primarily to the projects during the current year incurring more costs for mailings, consultant fees, and media publications compared with projects in the 2012 periods.

Transaction Volume

Legal Settlement Administration services are generally project based and not denominated by individual claims. Depending upon the nature of projects and their respective stages of completion, the volume of transactions or tasks performed by us in any period can vary, sometimes significantly.

Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

Legal Settlement Administration direct compensation expense, including related payroll taxes and fringe benefits, as a percent of revenues before reimbursements, was 34.4% in the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with 34.8% in the comparable 2012 period. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, these expenses as a percent of revenues before reimbursements were 36.0% compared with 38.0% in the same 2012 period. The dollar amount of these expenses were $21.7 million and $43.0 million, respectively, for the second quarter and six months of 2013 compared with $21.7 million and $42.0 million, respectively, for the comparable 2012 periods.

Legal Settlement Administration salaries and wages totaled $19.6 million and $38.1 million, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with $19.8 million and $37.2 million, respectively, in the comparable 2012 periods. Salaries and wages were relatively unchanged in the 2013 second quarter as compared to the 2012 second quarter. The increase in the 2013 six-month period was due primarily to an increase in incentive compensation expense resulting from the increase in revenues. There was an average of 615 full-time equivalent employees in this segment in both the first six months of 2013 and 2012. Payroll taxes and fringe benefits for Legal Settlement Administration totaled $2.1 million and $4.9 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $1.9 million and $4.8 million, respectively, for the comparable 2012 periods.

Expenses Other than Reimbursements, Direct Compensation and Fringe Benefits

One of our most significant expenses in Legal Settlement Administration is outsourced services due to the variable, project-based nature of our work. Legal Settlement Administration expenses other than reimbursements, direct compensation and related payroll taxes and fringe benefits as a percent of related revenues before reimbursements were 39.3% and 40.1% for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with 39.9% and 38.0%, respectively, for the comparable 2012 periods. The dollar amount of these expenses were relatively unchanged in the 2013 second quarter as compared to the 2012 second quarter. The dollar amount of these expenses increased to $48.1 million from $42.0 million for the six-month period, primarily as a result of the increased use of outsourced service providers.

EXPENSES AND CREDITS EXCLUDED FROM SEGMENT OPERATING EARNINGS

Income Taxes

Our consolidated effective income tax rate for financial reporting purposes may change periodically due to changes in enacted tax rates, fluctuations in the mix of income earned from our various domestic and international operations which are subject to income taxes at varied rates, our ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, and amounts related to uncertain income tax positions. At June 30, 2013, we estimate that our effective annual income tax rate for 2013 will be approximately 36% before considering any discrete items.

The U.K. Finance Bill 2013 received royal assent on July 17, 2013 and has therefore been enacted during the period ending September 30, 2013. This bill includes a change in the main U.K. corporation tax rate from its current 23% rate to 21% effective April 1, 2014 and to 20% effective April 1, 2015. The Company expects this tax rate change will result in a discrete tax expense of approximately $1.3 million for the period ending September 30, 2013.

The provision for income taxes on consolidated income totaled $15.0 million and $11.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in the provision for income taxes on consolidated income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the comparable period of 2012 was primarily due to the overall increase in income. Fluctuations in the mix of income earned in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates lowered the overall effective rate as compared to 2012.

Net Corporate Interest Expense

Net corporate interest expense consists of interest expense that we incur on our short- and long-term borrowings, offset by any interest income we earn on available cash balances and short-term investments. These amounts vary based on interest rates, borrowings outstanding, the effect of any interest rate swaps, and the amounts of invested cash. Corporate interest expense totaled $1.7 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest income totaled $142,000 and $262,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Corporate interest expense totaled $3.6 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest income totaled $353,000 and $544,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Interest income decreased due to lower cash balances in EMEA/AP, primarily resulting from higher accounts receivable and unbilled revenues in Asia-Pacific in the first quarter of 2012. The decline in interest expense was due primarily to a lower average borrowings in the first six months of 2013 compared with the first six months of 2012. We pay interest based on variable rates. Whether we can expect to see future reductions in interest expense compared with prior periods is dependent on the future direction of interest rates as well as the level of outstanding borrowings relative to prior periods.

Amortization of Customer-Relationship Intangible Assets

Amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets represents the non-cash amortization expense for finite-lived customer-relationship and trade name intangible assets. Amortization expense associated with these intangible assets totaled $1.6 million for both of the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and $3.2 million for both of the six month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. This amortization is included in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Stock Option Expense

Stock option expense, a component of stock-based compensation, is comprised of non-cash expenses related to stock options granted under our various stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Stock option expense is not allocated to our operating segments. Stock option expense of $293,000 and $373,000 was recognized during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared with $123,000 and $245,000 for the comparable periods in 2012, respectively. The increases in both periods of 2013 compared with the comparable periods of 2012 were primarily due to the expense related to the granting in 2013 of 748,000 non-qualified stock options to certain executives under the Company's Executive Stock Bonus Plan. Other stock-based compensation expense related to our executive stock bonus plan (performance shares and restricted shares) is charged to our operating segments and included in the determination of segment operating earnings or loss.

Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs

Certain unallocated costs and credits are excluded from the determination of segment operating earnings. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, unallocated corporate and shared costs primarily represented costs of our frozen U.S. defined benefit pension plan, expenses for our chief executive officer and our Board of Directors, certain adjustments to our self-insured liabilities, certain unallocated legal costs, costs of our cross currency swap, and certain adjustments and recoveries to our allowances for doubtful accounts receivable. Unallocated corporate and shared costs were $3.3 million and $5.6 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $4.6 million and $6.0 million for the comparable periods in 2012. The decreased costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 were due to a $2.0 million decrease in self-insured expenses and a $0.5 million decrease in the defined benefit plan pension expense, partially offset by an adjustment to the estimated loss on a leased facility the Company no longer uses and higher incentive compensation costs. The decreased costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with the same period in 2012 were due to a $2.7 million decrease in self-insured expenses and a $1.1 million decrease in defined benefit pension expense, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in incentive compensation expense, the adjustment to the estimated loss on a leased facility the Company no longer uses, and a $2.3 million increase in professional fees.

33

Special Charges

There were no special charges in the second quarter or first six months of 2013. Special charges of $1.6 millionand $2.5 million were incurred in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively, for severance costs, stay bonuses and certain other expenses related to a project to outsource certain aspects of our technology infrastructure to a third-party provider.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES, AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

At June 30, 2013, our working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities) was approximately $70.2 million, an increase of $20.4 million from the working capital balance at December 31, 2012. Our cash and cash equivalents were $47.2 million at June 30, 2013, compared with $71.2 million at December 31, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2013 consisted of $3.4 million held in the U.S. and $43.8 million held in our foreign subsidiaries. All of the cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries is available for general corporate purposes. The Company generally does not provide for additional U.S. and foreign income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because they are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company’s intent is for such earnings to be reinvested by the subsidiaries or to be repatriated only when it would be tax effective through the utilization of foreign tax credits. An exception to this general policy could occur if a very unusual event or project generated profits significantly in excess of ongoing business reinvestment needs. If such an event occurs, we analyze our anticipated investment needs in that region and provide for U.S. taxes for earnings that are not expected to be permanently reinvested. Such an event occurred during 2012 and continues into 2013, and we have provided for additional U.S. and foreign income taxes on such profits. Other historical earnings and future foreign earnings needed for business reinvestment needs are expected to remain permanently reinvested and will be used to provide working capital for those operations, repay non-U.S. debt, and to fund future acquisitions. We currently believe that funds generated from our U.S. operations, along with potential borrowing capabilities in the U.S., will be sufficient to fund our U.S. operations and other obligations, including our funding obligations under our U.S. defined benefit pension plan, for the foreseeable future and, therefore, except in limited circumstances such as those described above, do not foresee a need to repatriate cash held by our foreign subsidiaries in a taxable transaction to fund our U.S. operations. However, if at a future date or time these funds are needed for our operations in the U.S. or we otherwise believe it is in our best interests to repatriate all or a portion of such funds, we may be required to accrue and pay U.S. taxes to repatriate these funds. No assurances can be provided as to the amount or timing thereof, the tax consequences related thereto or the ultimate impact any such action may have on our results of operations or financial condition.

Cash Used in Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities was $15.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared with $26.4 million for the comparable period of 2012. The improvement in cash used in operating activities was due to higher net income and smaller increases in accounts receivable and unbilled revenues in 2013 compared with the same period of 2012, partially offset by a larger reduction in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in 2013 compared with 2012.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities, primarily for acquisitions of property and equipment and capitalized software, was $15.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $16.5 million in the first six months of 2012. Included in the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $2.3 million paid for a 51% interest in Lloyd Warwick International Limited, a specialist loss consulting company based in London which offers onshore and offshore energy expertise.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities was $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared with $12.0 million for the comparable period of 2012. We paid $3.9 million in dividends in the first six months of 2013, compared with $2.8 million in the first six months of 2012. During 2013, we increased our short-term borrowings and book overdraft by $11.0 million, made principal payments totaling $0.4 million on our long-term debt and capital leases, and paid $0.9 million of statutory employee withholding taxes on behalf of certain employees who elected to reduce the number of shares of common stock that would have otherwise been issued to them under employee stock-based compensation plans. During 2012, we increased our short-term borrowings and book overdraft by $20.6 million, made principal payments totaling $4.4 million on our long-term debt and capital leases and paid $0.9 million of statutory employee withholding taxes on behalf of certain employees who elected to reduce the number of shares of common stock that would have otherwise been issued to them under employee stock-based compensation plans.

34

Other Matters Concerning Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a component of our credit facility, we maintain a letter of credit facility to satisfy certain contractual obligations. Including $17.8 million of undrawn letters of credit issued under the letter of credit facility, the available balance under our line of credit facility totaled $138.1 million at June 30, 2013. Our short-term debt obligations typically peak during the first six months of each year due to the annual payment of incentive compensation, contributions to retirement plans, and certain other recurring payments, and generally decline during the balance of the year. Long- and short-term borrowings outstanding, including current installments and capital leases, totaled $173.9 million as of June 30, 2013 compared with $166.4 million at December 31, 2012.

The Company is required to make contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan of $2,600,000 for each remaining quarter of 2013, plus an additional payment of $7,800,000 in September 2013. There are no required contributions to the U.K. plans for 2013; however, the Company expects to make additional contributions of approximately $1,700,000 per quarter during the remainder of 2013.

Future Dividend Payments

Our Board of Directors makes dividend decisions from time to time based in part on an assessment of current and projected earnings and cash flows. Our ability to pay future dividends could be impacted by many factors including the funding requirements of our defined benefit pension plans, repayments of outstanding borrowings, levels of cash expected to be generated by our operating activities, and covenants and other restrictions contained in our credit facility. The covenants in our credit facility limit dividend payments to shareholders.

Financial Condition

Other significant changes on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013 compared with our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012 were as follows:

• Cash and cash equivalents decreased $24.0 million, with virtually no difference from the impacts of currency exchange differences on cash, due primarily to the increase in accounts receivable and unbilled revenues and a decrease in various liabilities discussed below.

• Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues increased $27.1 million, or $28.3 million net of currency exchange impacts. This increase was primarily due to increased Asia-Pacific and Legal Settlement Administration revenues.

• Income taxes currently payable increased $2.3 million due to the timing of statutory tax payments.

• Accounts payable, accrued compensation and related costs, and other accrued current liabilities decreased $24.7 million primarily due to the payment of year-end accruals, annual incentive compensation, and the funding of various defined contribution retirement plans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At June 30, 2013, we were not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than operating leases, which we believe could materially impact our operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

As previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we have certain material obligations under operating lease agreements to which we are a party. In accordance with GAAP, these operating lease obligations and the related leased assets are not reported on our consolidated balance sheet. Other than reductions to the lease obligations resulting from scheduled lease payments and the Berkeley Heights, NJ, lease described below, our obligations under these operating lease agreements have not changed materially since December 31, 2012.

In January 2013, the Company entered into a 10-year operating lease agreement for approximately 24,000 square feet of office space in Berkeley Heights, NJ, primarily for our Broadspire segment. The lease began July 1, 2013. Total lease payments over the 10-year term are approximately $6.9 million. Additionally, the Company is responsible for certain related real estate taxes and operating expenses.

We also maintain funds in various trust accounts to administer claims for certain clients. These funds are not available for our general operating activities and, as such, have not been recorded in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We have concluded that we do not have a material off-balance sheet risk related to these funds.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For a discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about the Company's market risk, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since December 31, 2012.

36

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management’s control objectives. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures can prevent all possible errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. There are inherent limitations in all control systems, including the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of one or more persons. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and, while our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to be effective under circumstances where they should reasonably be expected to operate effectively, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Because of the inherent limitations in any control system, misstatements due to possible errors or fraud may occur and not be detected.

As previously disclosed, at December 31, 2012, management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for income taxes. During the three months ended June 30, 2013, we have been engaged in a number of remediation efforts which are described below. These activities are still ongoing. As of the end of the period covered by this report, we performed an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operations of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b).

In light of the fact that, as of June 30, 2013 these remediation efforts were still ongoing, the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at providing reasonable assurance that all information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In order to remediate the material weakness described above, during the three months ended June 30, 2013, we undertook or were engaged in the following changes in internal control over financial reporting:

• recruiting and hiring additional qualified personnel;

• retaining outside consultants to review our tax accounting software for opportunities to improve effectiveness of system reporting;

• implementing additional policies and procedures to enhance internal control and provide timely reconciliation and review of the Company's income tax accounting including those policies and procedures related to our international operations; and

• restructuring the Company's corporate tax function to separate the tax accounting function from other tax-related activities.

As the Company continues to evaluate and improve its internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for income taxes, additional measures to remediate the material weakness or modifications to certain of the remediation procedures described above may be necessary. The Company expects to complete the required remedial actions during 2013.

Management is committed to improving the Company's internal control processes and has developed and presented to its Audit Committee a plan and timetable for the implementation of all of the remediation measures described above, and intends to meet frequently with the Audit Committee to monitor the status of remediation activities. Management believes that the measures described above should remediate the material weakness identified and strengthen the Company's internal control over financial reporting related to accounting for income taxes.

Except as set forth above, we have identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

In May 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the "2012 Repurchase Authorization") under which the Company may repurchase up to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock (either CRDA or CRDB or both) until May 2015. Under the 2012 Repurchase Authorization, repurchases may be made in open market or privately negotiated transactions at such times and for such prices as management deems appropriate, subject to applicable regulatory guidelines.

The table below sets forth the repurchases of CRDA and CRDB by the Company under the 2012 Repurchase Authorization during each month in the quarter ended June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, the Company's authorization to repurchase shares of its common stock was limited to an additional 1,232,503 shares.
