Positive Operating Earnings in Each Segment
Positive Operating Earnings in Each Segment
Crawford & Company (NYSE: CRDA and CRDB), the world’s largest independent provider of claims management solutions to insurance companies and self-insured entities, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2007.
Second quarter 2007 consolidated revenues before reimbursements totaled $240.5 million compared to $192.6 million in the 2006 second quarter. Second quarter 2007 net income was $6.1 million compared to net income of $4.2 million for the 2006 second quarter. Second quarter 2007 earnings per share was $0.12 compared to earnings per share of $0.09 in the prior-year quarter. Net income in the 2007 second quarter included the recognition of a gain of $3.1 million, net of related income taxes, or $0.06 per share, related to the second quarter 2006 sale of the Company’s former corporate headquarters. This gain had previously been deferred pending the expiration of a 12-month leaseback agreement on the sold facility.
Mr. Thomas W. Crawford, chief executive officer of Crawford & Company, stated, “We are pleased to report positive operating earnings in each of our segments in this year’s second quarter and that we remain ahead of our plans for the integration of the Broadspire acquisition. Our second quarter 2007 operating results were led by our international and Broadspire segments and their results helped to offset the decreases we experienced in our U.S. property & casualty and legal settlement administration operating segments.”
Revenues before reimbursements for the Company’s operating segments for the second quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows (in 000s):

Press Release
CRAWFORD & COMPANY 1001 SUMMIT BOULEVARD, P.O. BOX 5047, ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30302 (404) 256-0830
U.S. property & casualty revenues before reimbursements were $43.9 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to $51.7 million in the 2006 second quarter. Revenues generated by the Company’s catastrophe adjuster group were $1.3 million in the 2007 second quarter, declining from $5.6 million in the 2006 period when the Company was responding to severe storms in the midwestern and northeastern United States. Second quarter 2006 revenues included $2.1 million produced by the Company’s investigation services business, which was sold in the 2006 third quarter. The prior-year quarter also included $600,000 of revenues generated by the Company’s former subrogation services unit which was sold on February 28, 2007. Operating earnings in the U.S. property and casualty segment declined to $510,000, or 1.2% of revenues, compared to earnings of $3.0 million, or 5.8% of revenues in the 2006 second quarter. This decline was primarily due to the decrease in catastrophe-related revenues in the 2007 second quarter.
“The U.S. property & casualty segment experienced a downturn in revenues compared to last year’s second quarter, primarily as a result of the absence of significant catastrophic activity. According to the ISO’s Property Claim Service unit, the 2007 second quarter had the second lowest number of second quarter U.S. catastrophic events in the past 10 years. We continue to adjust our staffing levels in light of this and, as a result of our new case management system which we introduced in the 2007 first quarter, we are capturing operating efficiencies in our field branches which should lead to better operating performance in this segment during the remainder of the year,” Mr. Crawford said.
“Despite the reduction in catastrophe-related claims, we were encouraged by a slight increase in non-catastrophe related property and casualty claim referrals during the current quarter,” he said. “This increase was primarily due to an increase in both property claims in the quarter and vehicle services claims referred under a major 2006 contract.”
Second quarter 2007 revenues before reimbursements for international operations grew to a new quarterly record of $88.7 million from $73.9 million for the same period in 2006. Compared to the 2006 second quarter, during the current quarter the U.S. dollar weakened against most major foreign currencies, resulting in a net exchange rate benefit in the current quarter. Excluding the benefit of exchange rate fluctuations, international revenues would have been $82.6 million in the 2007 second quarter, reflecting growth in revenues on a constant dollar basis of 11.8%. This growth reflected increased case referrals in each international operating region resulting from new business wins during 2006 and 2007 and the impact of severe weather in the 2007 second quarter. The acquisition of Specialty Liability Services, Ltd. in the United Kingdom during the 2006 fourth quarter contributed revenues of $2.0 million in the 2007 second quarter. International operating expenses increased by $13.0 million in U.S. dollars, an 18.4% increase, and by 11.0% on a constant dollar basis. Operating earnings improved to $4.6 million in the current quarter, increasing 62% over last year’s second quarter operating earnings of $2.8 million. This improvement reflected an increase in operating margin from 3.8% in the 2006 second quarter to 5.2% in the 2007 quarter, primarily due to improved operating efficiency in the U.K. and Canada in the 2007 quarter.

Press Release
CRAWFORD & COMPANY 1001 SUMMIT BOULEVARD, P.O. BOX 5047, ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30302 (404) 256-0830
Revenues before reimbursements from the Broadspire segment were $83.0 million in the 2007 second quarter compared to the $36.1 million generated by the Company’s former Crawford Integrated Services business in the 2006 quarter. Revenues associated with Broadspire Management Services, Inc., acquired in the 2006 fourth quarter, totaled $50.0 million in the 2007 second quarter. In the 2007 second quarter, the Broadspire segment’s operating earnings improved from a loss of ($5.2) million, or (14.5)% of revenues in the 2006 quarter, to operating earnings of $3.0 million, or 3.6% of revenues.
“The performance of the Broadspire segment exceeded our expectations for the 2007 second quarter and that segment delivered a significantly improved operating result as compared to the prior-year period. We have taken important steps to realize operating efficiencies in the combined Broadspire operation, and have more than accomplished our goals by eliminating more than $32.3 million in operating expenses on an annualized basis,” Mr. Crawford said.
Legal settlement administration revenues before reimbursements were $25.0 million for the 2007 second quarter, compared to $30.9 million in the 2006 quarter. The operating results in legal settlement administration reflected a period of relatively slower class action activity versus the prior year when this segment was completing several major securities class action projects. Operating earnings totaled $3.4 million in the 2007 second quarter, or an operating margin of 13.4% of revenues, compared to $6.3 million, or 20.5% of revenues, in the prior-year period. The Company’s legal settlement administration revenues are project-based and can fluctuate significantly. The Company has a backlog of awarded projects, which totaled approximately $41.1 million at June 30, 2007.
Consolidated revenues before reimbursements for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007 were $484.1 million compared with $394.2 million in the 2006 period. Net income for the first six months of 2007 totaled $9.4 million, or $0.19 per share, compared with $10.1 million, or $0.20 per share, for the prior-year period. Net income in the 2007 first quarter included a gain on disposal of assets of $2.5 million, net of related income taxes, or $0.05 per share, as a result of the sale of the Company’s subrogation services unit. Net income in the 2007 second quarter included the recognition of the gain of $3.1 million, net of related income taxes, or $0.06 per share, related to the second quarter 2006 sale of the Company’s former corporate headquarters.
U.S. property and casualty revenues before reimbursements were $90.8 million for the year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007 compared with $113.5 million for the same period in 2006. Revenues generated by the Company’s catastrophe adjuster group were $3.1 million in the first six months of 2007, declining from $16.9 million in the first six months of 2006. Year-to-date 2006 revenues included $4.6 million produced by the Company’s investigation services business, which was sold in the 2006 third quarter. The prior-year period also included revenues of $837,000 generated by the Company’s subrogation services unit which was sold on February 28, 2007. Operating earnings in the U.S. property and casualty

segment declined to $2.8 million, or 3.1% of revenues, compared to $9.2 million, or 8.1% of revenues in the 2006 year-to-date period.
International revenues before reimbursements were $172.6 million for the first six months of 2007 compared with $144.4 million during the first six months of 2006. Excluding the benefit of exchange rate fluctuations, international revenues would have been $162.0 million in the current year, reflecting growth in revenues on a constant dollar basis of 12.2%. The acquisition of Specialty Liability Services, Ltd. in the U.K. during the 2006 fourth quarter contributed revenues of $4.0 million in the 2007 year-to-date period. International operating expenses increased by $23.8 million in U.S. dollars, a 17.0% increase, and by 10.6% on a constant dollar basis. Operating earnings in the international segment improved to $8.5 million in the current year-to-date period, more than doubling last year’s operating earnings of $4.1 million in the same period. This improvement reflected an increase in the segment operating margin from 2.8% in the first six months of 2006 to 4.9% in the year-to-date period in 2007.
Revenues from Broadspire were $167.6 million for the first six months of 2007 compared with $72.1 million in the 2006 period. Revenues associated with the Broadspire acquisition totaled $99.6 million during the 2007 period. Operating earnings in the Broadspire segment increased to $2.5 million, or 1.5% of revenues, compared to an operating loss of ($10.9) million, or (15.1%) of revenues in the 2006 year-to-date period.
Legal settlement administration revenues were $53.2 million for the 2007 year-to-date period compared with $64.2 million in 2006. For the 2007 period, legal settlement administration had operating earnings totaling $6.4 million, decreasing from $13.3 million in the 2006 period. The related operating margin declined from 20.7% in 2006 to 12.0% in 2007.
Crawford’s operating cash flows for the 2007 year-to-date period reflected a net cash use of $6.4 million compared to net cash provided by operations in the prior-year period of $19.2 million. This change was primarily due to growth in unbilled revenues during the 2007 period and the payment of retirement plan contributions, payment of accrued liabilities assumed in the Broadspire Management Services, Inc. acquisition, and other recurring annual payments during the 2007 first quarter. The Company’s cash needs typically peak during the first quarter and decline during the balance of the year. Overall, the Company’s consolidated cash, cash equivalents and short-term investment position as of June 30, 2007 totaled $45.7 million, down $19.3 million from the $65.0 million at June 30, 2006 and down $21.0 million from the $66.7 million at December 31, 2006. During the 2007 second quarter, the Company made a discretionary $5.0 million payment on its outstanding long-term debt.
Mr. Crawford concluded, “Our outlook for 2007 remains positive and reflects the high expectations we have for continued strength in the operating results from our international operations and improvement in

legal settlement administration and U.S. property & casualty operating results. We will continue to manage all of our operations to ensure we obtain acceptable operating margins.”
Crawford & Company reaffirmed the following guidance for fiscal 2007:

• | After reflecting stock-based compensation expense, net corporate interest expense, intangible asset amortization expense, certain other credits, and income taxes, consolidated net income between $20.5 million and $23.7 million, or $0.42 to $0.48 per share. |
Crawford & Company’s management will host a conference call with analysts on Monday, July 30, 2007 at 3:00p.m. EDT to discuss quarterly earnings and other developments. The call will be recorded and available for replay through August 6, 2007. You may dial 1-800-642-1687 (706-645-9291 international) to listen to the replay. The access code is 10271205.

Further information regarding the Company’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows for the quarter and year-to-date period ended June 30, 2007 is shown on the attached unaudited statements. Operating earnings or loss (a non-GAAP financial measure) is the key financial performance measure used by the Company’s senior management to evaluate the performance of its segments and make resource allocation decisions. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors in that it allows them to evaluate operating performance using the same criteria that management uses. Operating earnings or loss exclude net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, income tax expense, amortization of customer relationship intangible assets, and certain other credits. Net corporate interest expense, stock option expense and income taxes are recurring components of the Company’s net income, but they are not considered part of operating earnings since they are managed on a corporate-wide basis. Net corporate interest expense results from capital structure decisions made by the Company, stock option expense relates to historically granted stock options which are not allocated to its operating segments, and income taxes are based on statutory rates in effect in each of the locations where the Company provides services and vary throughout the world. Amortization expense relates to non-cash amortization of customer relationship intangible assets resulting from business combinations. These costs are not allocated to the segments for assessing performance. None of the aforementioned costs relate directly to the performance of the Company’s services and are therefore excluded in order to accurately assess the results of segment operating activities on a consistent basis. Certain other credits represent events (gain on disposal of assets) that are not considered part of segment operating earnings since they historically have not regularly impacted the Company’s operating performance and are not expected to regularly impact future performance. Following is a reconciliation of segment operating earnings to consolidated net income on a
