Forward Looking Statements
and Financial Information
Forward
Looking
Statements:
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, including statements about the future financial condition, results of operations and earnings outlook
of
Crawford
&
Company.
Statements,
both
qualitative
and
quantitative,
that
are
not
statements
of
historical
fact
may
be
“forward-looking”
statements
as
defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws.  Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or Crawford & Company’s present expectations.  Accordingly, no
one should place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date on which they are made.  Crawford & Company does not
undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that may arise or not arise after the date the forward-
looking statements are made. Results for any interim period presented herein are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year or for
any other future period.  For further information regarding Crawford & Company, and the risks and uncertainties involved in forward-looking statements,
please read Crawford & Company’s reports filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and available at www.sec.gov or in the
Investor
Relations
section
of
Crawford
&
Company’s
website
at
www.crawfordandcompany.com.
Revenues
Before
Reimbursements
(“Revenues”)
Revenues
Before
Reimbursements
are
referred
to
as
“Revenues”
in
both
consolidated
and
segment
charts,
bullets
and
tables
throughout
this
presentation.
Earnings
Per
Share:
In
the
2011
third
quarter,
the
Company
paid
a
higher
dividend
on
CRDA
than
on
CRDB.
This
may
result
in
a
different
earnings
per
share
("EPS")
for
each
class of stock in the future due to the two-class method of computing EPS as required by the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 260 -
"Earnings
Per
Share".
The
two-class
method
is
an
earnings
allocation
method
under
which
EPS
is
calculated
for
each
class
of
common
stock
considering
both dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings as if all such earnings had been distributed during the period. Further references
to EPS will generally be only for CRDB, as that is the more dilutive measure.
Non-GAAP
Financial
Information:
For additional information about certain non-GAAP financial information presented herein, see the Appendix following this presentation.

Crawford & Company
Investor Presentation
December 8, 2011


Appendix: Non-GAAP Financial Information
Measurements of financial performance not calculated in accordance with GAAP should  be considered as supplements to, and
not substitutes for, performance measurements calculated or derived in accordance with GAAP.  Any such measures are not
necessarily comparable to other similarly-titled measurements employed by other companies.
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 Statements 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 Statements
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
revenues
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 these revenues.  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 Sheets.  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
revenues.
Management
believes
that
subtracting
the
receivable
held in trust from deferred revenues provides investors with a snapshot of what the net cash costs will be to service the deferred revenues in the
future.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Crawford & Company
Non-GAAP adjusted net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company excludes Broadspire acquisition-related goodwill impairment
charges and a related credit for a purchase price arbitration award.  Management believes this is useful to investors as it presents a measure that
can be more easily compared to other periods that do not have such charges.
