Management Comments

Mr. Rohit Verma, chief executive officer of Crawford & Company, stated, “Crawford delivered another strong quarter aided by weather-related activity, with revenue and operating earnings increasing nearly 7% and 86% year-over-year, respectively. We added a net total of $13 million in new and enhanced business, further building on our already sound customer and carrier client relationships, while continuing to drive innovation through the launch of Crawford Inspection Services, a digital solution that allows more claims to be handled from the desk.”

Mr. Verma concluded, “In 2021, Crawford will celebrate its 80th anniversary. As we look towards the remainder of this momentous year, we believe the strategic evolution of our business will enable us to confidently execute on our growth plans and envisioned future, supported by the right group of experts and leaders to achieve our long-term strategy. We are confident in our financial position and look forward to continuing to deliver value to our shareholders, while fulfilling our purpose of restoring and enhancing lives, businesses and communities.”

 

Segment Results for the First Quarter

Crawford Loss Adjusting

Crawford Loss Adjusting revenues before reimbursements were $112.5 million in the first quarter of 2021, increasing 5.1% from $107.1 million in the first quarter of 2020. Absent foreign currency rate fluctuations of $3.7 million, first quarter 2021 revenues would have been $108.9 million.

The segment had operating earnings of $4.9 million in the 2021 first quarter increasing from the $0.7 million in the first quarter of 2020. The operating margin was 4.3% in the 2021 quarter and 0.6% in the 2020 quarter.

Crawford Platform Solutions

Crawford Platform Solution revenues before reimbursements were $42.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, up 30.7% from $32.4 million in the same period of 2020. Absent foreign exchange rate fluctuations of $0.3 million, revenues would have been $42.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Operating earnings were $4.6 million in the 2021 first quarter increasing 46.6% over the $3.1 million in the 2020 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2021 quarter was 10.9% as compared with 9.7% in the 2020 quarter.

Crawford TPA Solutions

Crawford TPA Solutions segment revenues before reimbursements were $98.2 million in the 2021 first quarter, increasing 0.3% from $98.0 million in the 2020 first quarter. Absent foreign currency rate fluctuations of $1.3 million, first quarter 2021 revenues would have been $97.0 million.

Crawford TPA Solutions recorded operating earnings of $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2021, representing an operating margin of 4.8%, decreasing from $6.3 million, or 6.4% of revenues, in the 2020 first quarter.

Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs and Credits, Net

Unallocated corporate costs were $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2021, compared with $3.1 million in the same period of 2020. The decrease for the three months ended March 31, 2021, was primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in self-insurance costs, a $1.0 million credit from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase in incentive compensation.

Restructuring Costs

There were no restructuring costs in 2021. The Company recognized pretax restructuring costs totaling $5.7 million in the 2020 first quarter, related primarily to severance and other termination costs in an effort to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce. The restructuring costs comprised of $5.1 million severance expense and $0.6 million asset impairment.

Goodwill Impairment

There was no goodwill impairment in 2021. The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment in the 2020 first quarter, totaling $17.7 million, related to its former Crawford Claims Solutions segment.

Business Acquisitions

On November 1, 2020, the Company acquired 100% of HBA Group in Australia, including 100% of the stock in each of HBA Group’s entities HBA Legal, Pillion and Paratus. HBA Legal is a legal services provider that will complement the Company’s Crawford TPA Solutions segment in Australia. The purchase price includes an initial lump-sum payment of $4.0 million, net of working capital adjustment, and a maximum of $3.2 million payable over the next four years based on achieving certain EBITDA performance goals.

COVID-19

The Company estimates that COVID-19 negatively impacted its revenues in the range of $5.0 to $10.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the prior year period. The Company expects the ongoing global economic slowdown resulting from COVID-19 could have a material impact to its results of operations, financial condition and cash flow in one or more future quarters.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of March 31, 2021, totaled $42.7 million, compared with $44.7 million at December 31, 2020. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of March 31, 2021, totaled $119.2 million, compared with $113.6 million at December 31, 2020.

The Company’s operations provided $1.6 million of cash during 2021, compared with a use of $8.0 million in 2020. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher net income, lower pension contributions and other working capital requirements, including a benefit from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy. Free cash flow increased by $12.1 million compared with the prior year period.

The Company made no contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $0.2 million to its U.K. plans for 2021, compared with $3.0 million in contributions to the U.S. plan and $0.2 million to the U.K. plans in 2020.

During 2021, the Company repurchased 90,062 shares of CRD-A and 58,837 shares of CRD-B at an average per share cost of $8.05 and $7.90, respectively. The total cost of share repurchases during 2021 was $1.2 million.

Conference Call

The conference call can be accessed live by dialing 1-833-968-1973 and using Conference ID 2219718. A presentation for tomorrow’s call can also be found on the investor relations portion of the Company’s website, https://ir.crawco.com. The call will be recorded and available for replay through June 5, 2021. You may dial 1-800-585-8367 to listen to the replay.

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.

Page 3 of 11


 

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, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, income taxes and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable 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 recurring adjustments for depreciation and amortization, net corporate interest expense, income taxes and stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, adjustments for non-recurring expenses for goodwill impairment and restructuring costs have been included in the calculation of adjusted EBITDA.

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, defined benefit pension costs or credits for our frozen U.S. pension plan, 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 and amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets 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. 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.

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 income tax impact of goodwill impairment was based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate. Due to the non-discrete income tax treatment of the first quarter goodwill impairment, the income tax benefit normalized as income was earned during the remainder of the year, resulting in a lower full year income tax benefit.
