Management Comments
“We continued our momentum of growth and profit expansion in the third quarter of 2023 delivering our twelfth consecutive quarter of growth. Revenues grew by 10% to a new quarterly record and profits more than doubled compared to last year. We have built a strong foundation focused on operational excellence at Crawford, and our technology plus people strategy is driving growth and margin improvement across the business,” commented Rohit Verma, Chief Executive Officer of Crawford & Company.
“North America Loss Adjusting revenue grew more than 18% for the third quarter, driven by increased utilization, the addition of new clients, experts, and new account nominations. Broadspire saw record quarterly revenue fueled by business development efforts that have expanded our revenue base and continued growth in Medical Management services as we add workers' compensation clients. Our International segment also showed improved revenues and margins as our transformation of the international business continues. Platforms Solutions had meaningful growth in Contractor Connection and Subrogation, however there was offsetting softness in the Networks group where benign weather and a reduction in high-volume, low severity claim activity impacted results for the quarter. Platforms’ operating margin remained solid at mid-double digits.
“Overall, this was a very strong quarter for Crawford with healthy cash generation and further strengthening of our balance sheet.” Mr. Verma concluded.
Segment Results for the Third Quarter
North America Loss Adjusting
North America Loss Adjusting revenues before reimbursements were $79.4 million in the third quarter of 2023, increasing 18.8% from $66.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. Absent foreign exchange rate decreases of $(0.7) million, revenues would have been $80.1 million for the 2023 third quarter.
The segment had operating earnings of $10.5 million in the 2023 third quarter, increasing from $3.8 million in the third quarter of 2022. The operating margin was 13.2% in the 2023 quarter and 5.6% in the 2022 quarter.
International Operations
International Operations revenues before reimbursements were $98.1 million in the third quarter of 2023, up 13.9% from $86.1 million in the same period of 2022. Absent foreign exchange rate increases of $1.3 million, revenues would have been $96.8 million for the 2023 third quarter.
Operating earnings were $2.2 million in the 2023 third quarter, compared with a $(3.9) million operating loss in the 2022 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2023 quarter was 2.2% as compared with (4.6)% in the 2022 quarter.
Broadspire
Broadspire segment revenues before reimbursements were $88.3 million in the 2023 third quarter, increasing 12.7% from $78.4 million in the 2022 third quarter.
Broadspire recorded operating earnings of $13.5 million in the third quarter of 2023, representing an operating margin of 15.3%, increasing from $6.2 million, or 7.9% of revenues, in the 2022 third quarter.
Platform Solutions
Platform Solutions revenues before reimbursements were $59.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, down (6.0)% from $63.7 million in the same period of 2022.
Operating earnings were $8.5 million in the 2023 third quarter, decreasing from the $10.1 million in the 2022 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2023 quarter was 14.2% as compared with 15.8% in the 2022 quarter.
Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs and Credits, Net
Unallocated corporate costs were $4.8 million in the third quarter of 2023, compared with $2.4 million in the same period of 2022. The increase in the 2023 third quarter was primarily due to increased incentive compensation and an increase in unallocated payroll tax and benefits costs.
2022 Goodwill Impairment
The Company recognized a $36.8 million pre-tax non-cash goodwill impairment in the third quarter of 2022. This charge was partially offset by a $15.9 million reduction in income tax expense, for a net impact of $20.9 million, or $0.43 per share. There was no goodwill impairment in 2023.
Other Matters
The Company recognized pretax contingent earnout expenses totaling $2.1 million and $0.9 million in the 2023 third quarter and comparable 2022 period, respectively, related to the fair value adjustment of earnout liabilities arising from recent acquisitions. This adjustment, which is not a component of operating earnings, is based on favorable changes to projections of acquired entities over the respective earnout periods, which span multiple years.
The Company recognized non-service pension costs of $2.2 million in the 2023 third quarter compared with credits of $(0.5) million in the 2022 period. Non-service pension costs represent the U.S. and U.K. non-service defined benefit pension costs, which are non-operating in nature as the U.S. plan is frozen and the U.K. plans are closed to new participants.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of September 30, 2023, totaled $49.2 million, compared with $46.0 million at December 31, 2022. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2023, totaled $218.4 million, compared with $238.9 million at December 31, 2022.
The Company’s operations provided $68.1 million of cash during the first nine months of 2023, compared with $(16.2) million used in 2022. The increase in cash provided was primarily driven by improved earnings, changes in working capital, including a reduction in work in process, increases in accrued incentive compensation as compared to payouts for prior year performance, and an increase in income tax refunds received.
The Company made no contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $1.8 million in contributions to its U.K. plans for the first nine months of 2023, compared with no contributions to the U.S. plan and $0.5 million to the U.K. plans in 2022.
During 2023, the Company didn't repurchase any shares of CRD-A, but repurchased 63,103 shares of CRD-B at an average share cost of $9.24. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company repurchased 2,656,474 shares of CRD-A and 963,472 shares of CRD-B at an average per share cost of $7.41 and $7.32, respectively. The total cost of share repurchases during 2023 was $0.6 million through September 30, 2023.

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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“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 operations.
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, but before net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, goodwill impairment, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, non-service pension costs and credits, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Adjusted EBITDA is not a term defined by GAAP and as a result our measure of adjusted EBITDA might not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. However, adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate, assess and benchmark our operational results. The Company believes that adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful information widely used by analysts, investors and other interested parties. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income attributable to shareholders of the Company with adjustments for depreciation and amortization, net corporate interest expense, goodwill impairment, contingent earnout adjustments, non-service pension costs and credits, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense.
Unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits include 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, certain unallocated professional fees and certain self-insurance costs and recoveries that are not allocated to our individual operating segments.
Income taxes, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, and non-service pension costs and credits are recurring components of our net income, but they are not considered part of our 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 vary significantly by jurisdiction. Net corporate interest expense results from capital structure decisions made by senior management and the Board of Directors, 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. Contingent earnout adjustments relate to changes in the fair value of earnouts associated with our recent acquisitions. Non-service pension costs and credits represent the U.S. and U.K. non-service defined benefit pension costs, which are non-operating in nature as the U.S. plan was frozen in 2002 and the U.K. plans are closed to new participants. None of these costs relate directly to the performance of our services or operating activities and, therefore, are excluded from segment operating earnings to better assess the results of each segment's operating activities on a consistent basis.
Goodwill impairments arise from time to time due to various factors, but are not allocated to our operating segments since they historically have not regularly impacted our performance and are not expected to impact our future performance on a regular basis.
A significant portion of our operations are international. These international operations subject us to foreign exchange fluctuations. The following table illustrates revenue as a percentage of total revenue for the major currencies of the geographic areas that Crawford does business:

(1) The Company had a net loss for GAAP reporting during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, resulting in no additional dilutive securities added to the basic weighted average shares in calculating diluted weighted average shares for GAAP reporting as their impact would be anti-dilutive. As the Company has Non-GAAP positive net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, these dilutive securities were added back to calculate Non-GAAP earnings per share.
Further information regarding the Company’s operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, financial position as of September 30, 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is shown on the attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
