Consolidated operating earnings, a non-GAAP financial measure, were $94.9 million in 2013, compared with $110.2 million in 2012. For the 2013 fourth quarter, consolidated operating earnings totaled $20.2 million, compared with $38.9 million in the 2012 fourth quarter.
During the 2012 fourth quarter, the Company recorded $8.5 million in special charges, and for the full year 2012 incurred $11.3 million of such charges. There were no special charges during 2013. Excluding the 2012 special charges, 2012 fourth quarter and full-year net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company would have been $19.5 million and $55.9 million, respectively, and diluted earnings per CRDB share would have been $0.35 and $1.00, respectively.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Crawford & Company's consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of December 31, 2013 totaled $76.0 million compared with $71.2 million at December 31, 2012.
The Company generated $77.8 million of cash from operations during 2013, compared with $92.9 million during 2012. The $15.1 million decrease in cash provided by operations was largely due to higher payments for accounts payable and accrued liabilities during 2013, partially offset by improved accounts receivable performance.
Management's Comments
Mr. Jeffrey T. Bowman, chief executive officer of Crawford & Company, stated, "Overall we were pleased with financial performance for the year just ended, reporting growth in net income and diluted earnings per share on flat revenue performance. Our fourth quarter 2013 consolidated operating earnings were down from the prior year, but in line with our expectations heading into the quarter. Our results in last year’s fourth quarter were largely driven by our response to superstorm Sandy and special projects in our Asia Pacific and Legal Settlement Administration operations which, as expected, declined during 2013. During the 2013 fourth quarter and year, Broadspire’s operating performance reflected substantial improvement over prior periods. Despite a global absence of major weather events over the past year, we generated approximately $95 million in consolidated operating earnings and had more balance among our segment operating results, reflecting increasing strength in the Americas and profitable performance in Broadspire.
"The Americas segment grew substantially from 2012 to 2013, as results from our Canadian operations showed marked improvement during the year, and we saw continued growth in our Contractor Connection operations. During the 2013 fourth quarter, the comparison with 2012 claims associated with superstorm Sandy in the northeastern U.S. was unfavorable and resulted in an expected decrease quarter over quarter in the segment.
"Entering the year, we indicated our expectations that our EMEA/AP segment results would show a decline compared to 2012, as we finalized claims arising from the 2011 catastrophic flood losses in Thailand. The claims associated with this special project are now substantially complete, which is reflected in the 2013 fourth quarter's and full year’s lower operating results as well as our outlook for 2014.
"Continued strong results from our Legal Settlement Administration segment during 2013 were supported by activity in the Deepwater Horizon class action settlement, as well as a number of other meaningful class action and bankruptcy matters. As we have indicated, activity levels associated with the Deepwater Horizon special project are expected to continue to decline during 2014 as compared to 2013 levels.

CRAWFORD & COMPANY 1001 SUMMIT BOULEVARD ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30319 (404) 300-1000
"In the Broadspire segment, we saw a steady and significant improvement in both revenue and operating profitability during 2013, and we were pleased with the progress made in these operations during the year. We are excited about the building strength of this business and remain focused on delivering continued operating improvement in the coming year."
Mr. Bowman concluded, "In addition to balanced operating performance, we were pleased with the progress made in strengthening our balance sheet by reducing debt and pension obligations through careful working capital management. We continue to foster a supportive corporate culture that is highly results-oriented. Significant progress has been made toward achieving our strategic objectives, but we will continue to innovate and evolve, particularly in the area of technology, moving forward to improve the corporation and enhance our shareholders’ experience."
Segment Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year
Americas
Americas revenues before reimbursements were $79.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, declining from $93.5 million in the 2012 fourth quarter, primarily due to the impact of claims arising from superstorm Sandy in the fourth quarter of 2012. A strengthened U.S. dollar compared to foreign currencies reduced our Americas revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the prior year period by approximately 2%. Operating earnings were $1.2 million in the 2013 fourth quarter, compared with $4.4 million in the 2012 fourth quarter, representing an operating margin of 1% and 5% in the 2013 and 2012 periods, respectively.
For the year, Americas revenues before reimbursements increased 2% to $342.2 million compared with $334.4 million in 2012. During 2013, the U.S. dollar strengthened against foreign currencies in the segment, resulting in a negative exchange rate impact on segment revenues of approximately 2% from 2012 to 2013. Operating earnings increased from $11.9 million in 2012 to $18.5 million in 2013, representing an operating margin of 4% and 5% in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
EMEA/AP
Fourth quarter 2013 revenues before reimbursements for the EMEA/AP segment totaled $91.0 million, compared with $95.2 million in the 2012 fourth quarter. Changes in foreign exchange rates reduced our EMEA/AP revenues in the fourth quarter of 2013 compared with the prior year period by approximately 3%.
EMEA/AP operating earnings were $12.7 million in the 2013 fourth quarter, compared with 2012 fourth quarter operating earnings of $18.2 million. The operating margin decreased from 19% in the 2012 period to 14% in the 2013 fourth quarter.
For the year, revenues before reimbursements from our EMEA/AP segment totaled $350.2 million, compared with $366.7 million in 2012. The strengthening of the U.S. dollar during 2013 resulted in a negative exchange rate impact on revenues of approximately 2% in 2013 compared with 2012. EMEA/AP operating earnings were $32.2 million in 2013, compared with 2012 operating earnings of $48.5 million. The operating margin decreased from 13% in 2012 to 9% in 2013.

Broadspire recorded operating earnings of $3.8 million in the 2013 fourth quarter, representing an operating margin of 6%, compared with operating earnings of $0.6 million, or 1.0% of revenues, in the 2012 fourth quarter.
For the year, Broadspire segment revenues before reimbursements increased 6% to $252.2 million compared with $239.0 million in 2012. Broadspire recorded operating earnings of $8.2 million for the year, or 3% of revenues, compared with break-even operating results in 2012.
Legal Settlement Administration
Legal Settlement Administration revenues before reimbursements were $49.1 million in the 2013 fourth quarter, compared with $65.4 million in the 2012 fourth quarter. Operating earnings were $8.0 million in the 2013 fourth quarter, decreasing from $18.2 million in the 2012 fourth quarter, with the related operating margin decreasing from 28% in the 2012 period to 16% in the 2013 period.
For the year, Legal Settlement Administration revenues before reimbursements were $218.8 million, compared with $236.6 million in 2012. Operating earnings were $46.8 million, compared with $60.3 million in 2012, with the related operating margin decreasing from 25% in 2012 to 21% in 2013. The segment's awarded project backlog approximated $108.2 million at December 31, 2013, compared with $151.9 million at December 31, 2012.
2014 Guidance
Crawford & Company is providing a guidance range for 2014 as follows:
| |
| • | Consolidated revenues before reimbursements between $1.10 and $1.13 billion; |
| |
| • | Consolidated operating earnings between $95.0 and $103.0 million; |
| |
| • | Consolidated cash provided by operating activities between $60.0 and $70.0 million; |
| |
| • | Consolidated net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company between $52.0 and $57.0 million; |
| |
| • | Diluted earnings per share of $0.94 to $1.04 for CRDA; and |
| |
| • | Diluted earnings per share of $0.90 to $1.00 for CRDB. |
To a significant extent, Crawford's business depends on case volumes. The Company cannot predict the future trend of case volumes for a number of reasons, including the fact that the frequency and severity of weather-related claims and the occurrence of natural and man-made disasters, which are a significant source of claims and revenue for the Company, are generally not subject to accurate forecasting.

Non-GAAP Presentation
In the normal course of business, our operating segments incur certain out-of-pocket expenses that are thereafter reimbursed by our clients. Under GAAP, these out-of-pocket expenses and associated reimbursements are required to be included when reporting expenses and revenues, respectively, in our consolidated results of operations. In the foregoing discussion and analysis of segment results of operations, we do not include a gross up of segment expenses and revenues for these pass-through reimbursed expenses. The amounts of reimbursed expenses and related revenues offset each other in our results of operations with no impact to our net income or operating earnings. A reconciliation of revenues before reimbursements to consolidated revenues determined in accordance with GAAP is self-evident from the face of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income.
Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by our senior management and chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) to evaluate the financial performance of our Company and operating segments, and make resource allocation and certain compensation decisions. Unlike net income, segment operating earnings is not a standard performance measure found in GAAP. We believe this measure is useful to others in that it allows them to evaluate segment and consolidated operating performance using the same criteria used by our senior management and CODM. Consolidated operating earnings represent segment earnings including certain unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits, but before 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. The reconciliation of operating earnings to net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company on a GAAP basis is presented below.
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 but are included in our financial performance measure of consolidated operating earnings.
Income taxes, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, and amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets are recurring components of our net income, but they are not considered part of our consolidated or segment operating earnings because they are managed on a corporate-wide basis. Income taxes are calculated for the Company on a consolidated basis based on statutory rates in effect in the various jurisdictions in which we provide services, and 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 finite-lived customer-relationship and trade name intangible assets acquired in business combinations. None of these costs relate directly to the performance of our services or operating activities and, therefore, are excluded from segment operating earnings in order to better assess the results of each segment’s operating activities on a consistent basis.
Special charges and credits may arise 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.
