Management Comments
Mr. Harsha V. Agadi, president and chief executive officer of Crawford & Company, stated, “I am pleased with our fourth quarter and full year 2018 results as our purposeful strategic investments designed to increase the pace of growth at the Company are beginning to take hold. For the full year we delivered revenue growth of 1.4% after adjusting for foreign exchange impacts, the GCG business disposal and changes to our U.K. contractor repair operating model. Further, when normalizing for severe weather from the prior year hurricanes in the U.S. and Asia Pacific region, 2018 organic revenue growth was approximately 3.4%. 2018 was an investment year, as we have invested in transforming our culture and vision, in our salespeople to drive market share, in technology to become more differentiated, and in new product development to access large untapped market opportunities. We have started to deliver growth in many aspects of our business which is translating into higher gross profit as a result. We will remain disciplined and focused on expense control to ensure that we deliver margin expansion and accelerated earnings growth through 2019.
Another focus of our management team has been on improving the Company’s cash generation while delivering value to shareholders through a disciplined capital allocation strategy. In 2018, we generated $52.4 million in operating cash flow which compares favorably to the $40.8 million that we generated in 2017 and this is after an additional $10.0 million contribution to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan in 2018. We utilized this improved cash flow to strengthen the Company’s balance sheet as we paid down $35.3 million in debt in 2018. In addition, we paid $13.5 million in dividends this past year providing a meaningful and predictable yield to our shareholders. Lastly, we also repurchased $10.4 million of our common shares through 2018 and were opportunistic in January 2019 where we repurchased a further $16.4 million of stock as we continue to see our shares trading at a significant discount to intrinsic value.
Looking forward, we have four primary objectives for 2019. The first is growth as we must increase the velocity of revenue growth through continuous innovation. The second is systems readiness as we prioritize IT investments across the globe in order to position Crawford to be at the forefront of innovation and disruption. The third is people readiness where we need to continue to attract, develop, engage and retain the caring and capable people who deliver the Company’s mission every day. And lastly, we need to remain fiscally responsible as we continue to focus on improving the Company’s free cash flow while maintaining prudent expense management and a conservative balance sheet while maximizing our return on invested capital and providing a return to shareholders.”
Mr. Agadi concluded, “As our guidance suggests, we expect our operating earnings growth to accelerate in 2019 as we strive to reach our goal of delivering 5% revenue growth and 15% earnings growth annually. The investments have been made during 2018 and our goal is well within reach.”
Segment Results for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year
Crawford Claims Solutions
Crawford Claims Solutions revenues before reimbursements were $92.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, decreasing 20% from $114.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2017 which was largely driven by the 2017 claim surge from hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and catastrophe events in Asia. On a constant dollar basis, fourth quarter 2018 revenues were $93.0 million. Operating earnings were $6.0 million in the 2018 fourth quarter, compared with operating earnings of $9.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2017, representing an operating margin of 6.5% in the 2018 quarter and 8.5% in the 2017 quarter.

Crawford TPA Solutions: Broadspire recorded operating earnings of $12.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, representing an operating margin of 12.6%, compared with $10.6 million, or 10.6% of revenues in the 2017 fourth quarter.

Crawford Specialty Solutions
Crawford Specialty Solutions revenues before reimbursements were $69.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, down 18% from $84.3 million in the same period of 2017 which included $16.5 million of GCG revenues. On a constant dollar basis, fourth quarter 2018 revenues were $70.1 million. A change in the U.K. contractor repair business operating model where we are now acting as an agent instead of principal in certain relationships with clients represented a $1.0 million reduction in Crawford Specialty Solutions revenues in the 2018 fourth quarter compared to the 2017 fourth quarter. This change had no impact to operating earnings. Excluding the impact of the change in the U.K. contractor repair business and the GCG revenues for 2017, Crawford Specialty Solutions revenues increased 3.8% in the 2018 quarter as compared to the same period in 2017. Operating earnings were $15.3 million in the 2018 fourth quarter compared with $14.5 million in the 2017 period. The segment’s operating margin for the 2018 quarter was 22.0%, as compared to 17.2% in the 2017 quarter.
For the year, Crawford Specialty Solutions revenues before reimbursements were $304.5 million, down 13% from $350.2 million in 2017. On a constant dollar basis, 2018 revenues were $302.2 million. Excluding GCG revenues of $29.9 million in 2018 and $76.2 million in 2017 and the $11.0 million reduction in 2018 due to the change in the U.K. contractor repair business model, Crawford Specialty Solutions revenues increased 4.4% in 2018 compared to 2017. Operating earnings were $51.0 million in 2018 compared with $53.4 million in 2017. The segment’s operating margin for 2018 was 16.8%, as compared to 15.3% in 2017.
Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs and Credits, Net
Unallocated corporate costs, net were $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2018, compared with $10.7 million in the same period of 2017. The decrease for the three months ended December 31, 2018 was due to lower incentive compensation, payroll taxes and benefits, lower self-insured costs and defined benefit pension expenses.
For the year, unallocated corporate costs, net were $9.3 million, compared with $13.5 million in 2017. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2018 was due to lower incentive compensation, payroll taxes and benefits, lower self-insured costs and defined benefit pension expenses, partially offset by an increase in unallocated professional fees.
Goodwill and Intangible Asset Impairment Charges
The Company recognized no goodwill impairment charges for 2018. In 2017 the entire goodwill allocated to its Garden City Group reporting unit of $19.6 million was impaired in the fourth quarter 2017. This noncash goodwill impairment charge is not reflected in segment operating earnings. In 2018, the Company recognized an impairment of $1.1 million related to an indefinite-lived trade name. These impairment charges did not affect the Company’s liquidity and had no effect on the Company’s compliance with the financial covenants under its Credit Facility.

Restructuring and Special Charges
The Company recorded no restructuring and special charges in the 2018 fourth quarter and restructuring charges of $3.3 million in the 2017 fourth quarter. For the full year 2018, the Company recorded no restructuring costs and in 2017 the Company recorded $12.1 million. Restructuring costs in 2017 were comprised of costs related to the establishment and phase in of the Company's Global Business Services Center in the Philippines and Global Technology Services Center in India, restructuring and integration costs related to reductions of administrative costs and consolidation of management layers in certain operations, and other restructuring charges for asset impairments and lease termination costs.
Loss on Disposition of Business Line
On June 15, 2018, the Company completed the sale of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in its Garden City Group business to EPIQ Class Action & Claims Solutions, Inc. The sale resulted in the recognition of a pretax loss on the sale for the year ended December 31, 2018, of $20.3 million after including transaction costs of $2.4 million related to the sale. Adjustments to the loss of $1.3 million pretax were recognized during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018. The loss on sale of the GCG business is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as a separate charge "Loss on Disposition of Business Line".
Income Taxes
During the 2017 fourth quarter the Company recorded the estimated impact associated with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) of $3.8 million, or $0.07 per share, primarily related to the preliminary calculation of the transition tax and remeasurement of deferred tax balances.
During the 2018 fourth quarter, the Company completed its accounting under Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 and recorded an income tax benefit of $3.4 million, or $0.06 per share, primarily related to the release of uncertain tax positions on transition tax, and an income tax expense of $7.0 million, or $0.13 per share, for valuation allowances against foreign tax credit carryforwards that are anticipated to expire after consideration of the Tax Act and available tax planning strategies. The Company is now complete with its accounting for the Tax Act in accordance with SAB 118.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
The Company’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents position as of December 31, 2018, totaled $53.1 million, compared with $54.0 million at December 31, 2017. The Company’s total debt outstanding as of December 31, 2018, totaled $190.4 million, compared with $225.7 million at December 31, 2017.
The Company’s operations provided $52.4 million of cash during the 2018 period, compared with $40.8 million in the 2017 period. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a decrease in accounts receivable and other working capital requirements, partially offset by increased voluntary pension contributions in 2018, compared to 2017.
The Company made contributions of $19.0 million and $5.0 million to its U.S. and U.K. defined benefit pension plans, respectively for the 2018 twelve month period, compared with contributions of $9.0 million and $5.6 million, respectively, in the 2017 period.
During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 89,262 shares of CRD-A and 29,623 of CRD-B at an average cost of $9.00 and $8.99, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company repurchased 1,144,410 shares of CRD-A and 94,378 shares of CRD-B at an average cost of $8.36 and $8.96, respectively.

Subsequent Event
On January 22, 2019, the Company entered into Stock Purchase Agreements to repurchase an aggregate of 421,427 shares of CRD-A and 1,376,889 shares of CRD-B. Pursuant to the purchase agreements, the Company paid a purchase price of $9.10 per share plus commission, for an aggregate purchase price of $16.4 million including commission.
2019 Guidance
Crawford & Company is providing its initial guidance for 2019 as follows:
• | Consolidated revenues before reimbursements between $1.05 and $1.10 billion; |
• | Net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company between $46.0 and $51.0 million, or $0.85 to $0.95 diluted earnings per CRD-A share, and $0.78 to $0.88 diluted earnings per CRD-B share; |
• | Consolidated operating earnings between $90.0 and $100.0 million; |
• | Consolidated adjusted EBITDA between $130.0 and $140.0 million; |
To a significant extent, Crawford’s business depends on case volumes. The Company cannot predict the future trend of case 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 claims and revenue for the Company, are generally not subject to accurate forecasting.
Conference Call
As previously announced, Crawford & Company will host a conference call on February 26, 2019 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss its fourth quarter 2018 results. The conference call can be accessed live by dialing 1-800-374-2518 and using Conference ID 5283639. A presentation for tomorrow’s call can also be found on the investor relations portion of the Company’s website, http://www.crawco.com. The call will be recorded and available for replay through March 26, 2019. You may dial 1-855-859-2056 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 6 of 17
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 and credits, but before net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, restructuring and special charges, loss on disposition of business line, income taxes, and net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Gross profit is defined as revenues less direct costs which exclude indirect overhead costs allocated to the business.
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, income taxes, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, restructuring and special charges, loss on disposition of business line 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, 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. Goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges, restructuring and special charges and loss on disposition of business line are non-core items not directly related to our normal business operations, or our future performance.
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 in order to better assess the results of each segment's operating activities on a consistent basis.
Income taxes are calculated for the non-GAAP presentation of net income before restructuring and special charges, goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges and loss on disposition of business line based on statutory rates in effect in the various jurisdictions in which charges exist, and vary by jurisdiction.

About Crawford & Company
Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Crawford & Company (www.crawco.com) is the world's largest publicly listed independent provider of claims management and outsourcing solutions to the risk management and insurance industry, as well as to self-insured entities, with an expansive global network serving clients in more than 70 countries.
The Company’s shares are traded on the NYSE under the symbols CRD-A and CRD-B. 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 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 Common Stock 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.
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.
