32 Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information WORKING TOGETHER: the Crawford Difference Reimbursements for Out-of-Pocket Expenses In the normal course of our business, we sometimes pay for certain out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursed by our clients. Under GAAP, these out-of- pocket expenses and associated reimbursements are reported as revenues and expenses in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. In this presentation, we do not believe it is informative to include the GAAP-required gross up of our revenues and expenses for these pass-through reimbursed expenses. The amounts of reimbursed expenses and related revenues offset each other in our Consolidated Statement of Operations with no impact to our net income or loss. Unless noted in this presentation, revenue and expense amounts exclude reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses. Net debt Net debt is computed as the sum of long-term debt, capital leases and short-term borrowings less cash and cash equivalents. Management believes that net debt is useful because it provides investors with an estimate of what the Company’s debt would be if all available cash was used to pay down the debt of the Company. The measure is not meant to imply that management plans to use all available cash to pay down debt. Deferred Revenues, net Deferred Revenues, net is computed as the sum of the current and noncurrent deferred revenue as reported on our consolidated balance sheets less the sum of the current and noncurrent receivable held in trust to be released to us as payment to service this revenue. The current portion of the receivable held in trust is reported as a component of Accounts Receivable and the noncurrent portion is reported as a component of Other Noncurrent Assets in our consolidated balance sheet. The funds represented by the amount of the receivable held in trust are released to the Company over time to partially offset the costs of servicing the deferred revenue. Management believes that subtracting the receivable held in trust from deferred revenue provides investors with a snapshot of what the net cash costs will be to service the deferred revenue in the future. Free Cash Flow Management believes free cash flow is useful to investors as it presents the amount of cash the Company has generated that can be used for other purposes, including additional contributions to the Company’s defined benefit pension plans, discretionary prepayments of outstanding borrowings under our credit agreement, and return of capital to shareholders, among other purposes. It does not represent the residual cash flow of the Company available for discretionary expenditures. Net Income Attributable to Crawford & Company before Goodwill Impairment Management believes net income attributable to Crawford & Company before goodwill impairment is useful to investors as it presents a measure that can be more easily compared to other periods that do not have a non-cash, non-operating goodwill impairment charge. |
