Crawford & Company Reports 2021 Second Quarter Results

Double Digit Revenue Growth in Quarter

Crawford & Company® (NYSE: CRD-A and CRD-B), the world’s largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management and outsourcing solutions to carriers, brokers and corporations, today announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021.

The Company’s two classes of stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting rights and the Company’s ability to pay greater cash dividends on the non-voting Class A Common Stock (CRD-A) than on the voting Class B Common Stock (CRD-B), subject to certain limitations. In addition, with respect to mergers or similar transactions, holders of CRD-A must receive the same type and amount of consideration as holders of CRD-B, unless different consideration is approved by the holders of 75% of CRD-A, voting as a class.

GAAP Consolidated Results

Second Quarter 2021

  • Revenues before reimbursements of $267.5 million, up 14% over $234.4 million for the 2020 second quarter
  • Net income attributable to shareholders of $11.8 million, double the $5.9 million in the same period last year
  • Diluted earnings per share of $0.22 for both CRD-A and CRD-B, compared with $0.11 for both CRD-A for CRD-B in the prior year second quarter

Non-GAAP Consolidated Results

Second Quarter 2021

Non-GAAP consolidated results for 2021 exclude the non-cash after-tax amortization of intangible assets of $2.1 million. Non-GAAP consolidated results for 2020 exclude the non-cash after-tax adjustments of amortization of intangible assets of $2.0 million, loss on disposition of business of $0.3 million, and income tax impact of the first quarter 2020 goodwill impairment of $2.2 million, as explained further on page 3.

  • Foreign currency exchange rates increased revenues before reimbursements by $12.2 million or 5.2%. Presented on a constant dollar basis to the prior year, revenues before reimbursements totaled $255.2 million, increasing 9% over $234.4 million for the 2020 second quarter
  • Net income attributable to shareholders, on a non-GAAP basis, totaled $13.8 million in the 2021 second quarter, compared with $10.4 million in the same period last year

Management Comments

Mr. Rohit Verma, chief executive officer of Crawford & Company stated, “Crawford delivered outstanding results in the second quarter of 2021, including year-over-year revenue and non-GAAP CRD-A EPS growth of 14% and 32%, respectively. Importantly, we saw strength across the business despite the absence of significant weather-related activity as claim volumes rebounded in TPA and Loss Adjusting while the Platforms business continues to drive transformation in the loss adjusting industry."

Mr. Verma continued, “We are building on this momentum as we further advance our strategy. Through reimagination of the claims ecosystem and investments in technology, we remain on the cutting-edge of innovation within the insurance industry. Entering the second half of 2021, while we continue to see some potential headwinds from an uneven COVID-19 global recovery, some green shoots are emerging for our U.S. TPA business amidst signs of an increasingly robust labor market. Encouragingly, the post-pandemic insurance landscape is accelerating the pace of adoption for digital client-centric solutions bolstering the overall performance of our Platforms segment. We remain confident that our ongoing success will continue to enhance lives and will deliver value to our shareholders, businesses and communities.”

Segment Results for the Second Quarter

Crawford Loss Adjusting

Crawford Loss Adjusting revenues before reimbursements were $116.0 million in the second quarter of 2021, increasing 6.3% from $109.1 million in the second quarter of 2020. Absent foreign currency rate benefits of $8.7 million, second quarter 2021 revenues would have been $107.3 million.

The segment had operating earnings of $6.2 million in the 2021 second quarter decreasing from $10.0 million in the second quarter of 2020. The operating margin was 5.3% in the 2021 quarter and 9.2% in the 2020 quarter.

Crawford Platform Solutions

Crawford Platform Solution revenues before reimbursements were $51.1 million in the second quarter of 2021, up 39.4% from $36.7 million in the same period of 2020. Absent foreign exchange rate benefits of $0.7 million, revenues would have been $50.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

Operating earnings were $10.4 million in the 2021 second quarter increasing 45.1% over $7.1 million in the 2020 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2021 quarter was 20.3% as compared with 19.5% in the 2020 quarter.

Crawford TPA Solutions

Crawford TPA Solutions segment revenues before reimbursements were $100.4 million in the 2021 second quarter, increasing 13.2% from $88.7 million in the 2020 second quarter. Absent foreign currency rate benefits of $2.8 million, second quarter 2021 revenues would have been $97.6 million.

Crawford TPA Solutions recorded operating earnings of $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, representing an operating margin of 4.7%, increasing from $3.1 million, or 3.5% of revenues, in the 2020 second quarter.

Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs and Credits, Net

Unallocated corporate costs were $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared with $2.1 million in the same period of 2020. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily due to a decrease in severance costs present in 2020, partially offset by an increase in self-insurance costs and professional fees, and a lower credit from the Canada Emergency Wage Subsidy ("CEWS").

CEWS

During the 2021 second quarter, the Company recognized a pretax benefit from CEWS totaling $2.2 million as compared to benefits of $4.3 million in the 2020 second quarter. The Company does not expect to recognize any further benefits from CEWS during the remainder of 2021.

Income Tax Impact of First Quarter 2020 Goodwill Impairment

The Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment in the 2020 first quarter, totaling $17.7 million. Due to the non-discrete income tax treatment of the goodwill impairment, the initial income tax benefit related to the impairment normalized during the year, resulting in a lower full year income tax benefit. During the 2020 second quarter, the impact of this treatment decreased the income tax benefit by $2.2 million, or $0.04 per share. There was no goodwill impairment in 2021.

Loss on Disposition of Business

There was a pretax loss on disposal totaling $0.3 million in the 2020 second quarter related to the disposal of a business in our Crawford Platform Solutions reporting segment. There was no loss on disposal in 2021.

COVID-19

The Company has experienced some recovery from the negative economic impact of COVID-19 in recent months, particularly in the U.S., compared to the significant reductions experienced in the prior year. Due to continued negative impacts in multiple regions, it is uncertain whether such recovery can be sustained and continue. We expect that the economic impact from COVID-19 could have a material impact to our results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows in one or more future quarters. In addition, it is possible that changes in economic conditions and steps taken by international, federal, state and/or local governments in response to COVID-19 could have negative impacts, including labor shortages which could increase compensation costs and other expenses, unless mitigated by government assistance programs to corporations.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow

The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of June 30, 2021, totaled $44.7 million, unchanged from December 31, 2020. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2021, totaled $125.0 million, compared with $113.6 million at December 31, 2020.

The Company’s operations provided $10.5 million of cash during 2021, compared with $12.0 million in 2020. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to higher pension contributions and growth in receivables, offset by higher net income in the current period.

The Company made $4.5 million in contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $0.4 million to its U.K. plans for 2021, compared with $3.0 million in contributions to the U.S. plan and $0.3 million to the U.K. plans in 2020.

During 2021, the Company repurchased 256,213 shares of CRD-A and 80,952 shares of CRD-B at an average per share cost of $9.09 and $8.28, respectively. The total cost of share repurchases during 2021 was $3.0 million.

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, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, goodwill impairment, restructuring costs, loss on disposition of business, 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, restructuring costs and loss on disposition of business 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)Sum of reconciling items may differ from total due to rounding of individual components.

 

(2)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 2020 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 during 2020.

About Crawford®

Based in Atlanta, Crawford & Company (NYSE: CRD‐A and CRD‐B) is the world’s largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management and outsourcing solutions to carriers, brokers and corporations with an expansive global network serving clients in more than 70 countries. The Company’s two classes of stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting rights and the Company’s ability to pay greater cash dividends on the non-voting Class A Common Stock (CRD-A) than on the voting Class B Common Stock (CRD-B), subject to certain limitations. In addition, with respect to mergers or similar transactions, holders of CRD-A must receive the same type and amount of consideration as holders of CRD-B, unless different consideration is approved by the holders of 75 percent of CRD-A, voting as a class. More information is available at www.crawco.com.

Earnings per share may be different between CRD-A and CRD-B due to the payment of a higher per share dividend on CRD-A than CRD-B, and the impact that has on the earnings per share calculation according to generally accepted accounting principles.
