Investor Presentation April 2021 CRD - A & CRD - B (NYSE)
2 Forward - Looking Statements and Additional Information Forward - Looking Statements This presentation contains forward - looking statements, including statements about the expected future financial condition, resul ts of operations and earnings outlook of Crawford & Company. Statements, both qualitative and quantitative, that are not statements of historical fact may be "forward - looking statements" as defined in the Private Securitie s Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Forward - looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or Crawford & Company's pre sen t expectations. Accordingly, no one should place undue reliance on forward - looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made. Crawford & Company does not undertake to update forward - looking statements to reflec t the impact of circumstances or events that may arise or not arise after the date the forward - looking statements are made. Results for any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected fo r the full year or for any other future period. For further information regarding Crawford & Company, and the risks and uncertainties involved in forward - looking statements, please read Crawford & Company's reports filed with the Securiti es and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov or in the Investor Relations portion of Crawford & Company's website at https://ir.crawco.com. Crawford's business is dependent, to a significant extent, on case volumes. The Company cannot predict the future trend of ca se 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 cases and revenue for the Company , are generally not subject to accurate forecasting. Revenues Before Reimbursements ("Revenues") Revenues Before Reimbursements are referred to as "Revenues" in both consolidated and segment charts, bullets and tables thro ugh out this presentation. Segment and Consolidated Operating Earnings Under the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280, "Segment Reporting," th e C ompany has defined segment operating earnings as the primary measure used by the Company to evaluate the results of each of its three operating segments. Segment operating earnings represent segment earnings, includin g t he direct and indirect costs of certain administrative functions required to operate our business, but excludes unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortizati on of customer - relationship intangible assets, goodwill impairment, certain tax valuation allowances, restructuring and other costs, arbitration and claim settlements, gain on disposition of businesses, income taxes and net inc ome or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests. Earnings Per Share The Company's two classes of stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting rights and the Company's abilit y t o pay greater cash dividends on the non - voting Class A Common Stock than on the voting Class B Common Stock, subject to certain limitations. In addition, with respect to mergers or similar transactions, holders of Class A Commo n S tock 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. In certain periods, the Company has paid a higher dividend on CRD - A than on CRD - B. This may result in a different earnings per s hare ("EPS") for each class of stock due to the two - class method of computing EPS as required by ASC Topic 260 - "Earnings Per Share". The two - class method is an earnings allocation method under which EPS is calculated for each class o f common stock considering both dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Segment Gross Profit Segment gross profit is defined as revenues, less direct costs, which exclude indirect centralized administrative support cos ts allocated to the business. Indirect expenses consist of centralized administrative support costs, regional and local shared services that are allocated to each segment based on usage. Non - GAAP Financial Information For additional information about certain non - GAAP financial information presented herein, see the Appendix following this presen tation.

35 35 Appendix B: Non - GAAP Financial Information 35
36 Measurements of financial performance not calculated in accordance with GAAP should be considered as supplements to, and not sub stitutes for, performance measurements calculated or derived in accordance with GAAP. Any such measures are not necessarily comparable to other similar ly - titled measurements employed by other companies. Reimbursements for Out - of - Pocket Expenses In the normal course of our business, our operating segments incur certain out - of - pocket expenses that are thereafter reimbursed by our clients. Under GAAP, these out - of - pocket expenses and associated reimbursements are required to be included when reporting expenses and revenues, respectively, in our co nsolidated results of operations. In this presentation, we do not believe it is informative to include in reported revenues the amounts of reimbursed expenses and rela ted revenues, as they offset each other in our consolidated results of operations with no impact to our net income or operating earnings. As a result, unless noted in this pre sentation, revenue and expense amounts exclude reimbursements for out - of - pocket expenses. Net Debt Net debt is computed as the sum of long - term debt, capital leases and short - term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Man agement believes that net debt is useful because it provides investors with an estimate of what the Company's debt would be if all available cash was used to pay down the debt o f t he Company. The measure is not meant to imply that management plans to use all available cash to pay down debt . Free Cash Flow Management believes free cash flow is useful to investors as it presents the amount of cash the Company has generated that ca n b e used for other purposes, including additional contributions to the Company's defined benefit pension plans, discretionary prepayments of outstanding borrowings under our c red it agreement, and return of capital to shareholders, among other purposes. It does not represent the residual cash flow of the Company available for discretionary expenditures. Segment and Consolidated Operating Earnings Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by our senior management and chief operating decision ma ker to evaluate the financial performance of our Company and operating segments, and make resource allocation and certain compensation decisions. Management believes operatin g e arnings is useful to others in that it allows them to evaluate segment and consolidated operating performance using the same criteria our management and chief operating decisio n m aker use. Consolidated operating earnings represent segment earnings including certain unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits, but before net corporate int ere st expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer - relationship intangible assets, goodwill impairment, certain tax valuation allowances, restructuring and other costs, a rbitration and claim settlements, gain on disposition of businesses, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests. Appendix: Non - GAAP Financial Information
37 Segment and Consolidated Gross Profit Gross profit is defined as revenues less direct expenses which exclude indirect overhead expenses allocated to the business. Ind irect expenses consist of centralized administrative support costs, regional and local shared services that are allocated to each segment based on usage. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our operational results and the Company believes that ad justed EBITDA is relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to sh are holders of the Company with recurring adjustments for depreciation and amortization, net corporate interest expense, income taxes, stock - based compensation expense and foreign exchan ge fluctuations. Additionally, adjustments for non - recurring expenses for goodwill impairment, certain tax valuation allowances, restructuring and other costs, gain on disposit ion of businesses, and arbitration and claim settlements have been included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result our m eas ure of adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Adjusted Revenue, Operating Earnings, Pretax Earnings, Net Income, Diluted Earnings per Share and EBITDA Included in non - GAAP adjusted measurements as an add back or subtraction to GAAP measurements, are impacts of the goodwill impai rment, restructuring and other costs, gain on disposition of businesses, arbitration and claim settlements, and foreign exchange impacts, which arise from non - core items not directly related to our normal business or operations, or our future performance. Management believes it is useful to exclude these charges when comparing net income and diluted earni ngs per share across periods, as these charges are not from ordinary operations.
