A message from  
our President & CEO

TO O U R S H A R E H O LD E R S ,

2016 was a transformative year as we made significant progress positioning Crawford & Company  

for a return to more predictable financial results and growth. We reoriented our organization and our 

go-to-market philosophy, aggressively embraced technology and innovation, and maintained a vigilant 

focus on expense reduction. These changes have reinvigorated our enterprise, influenced the way our 

customers view Crawford, and enriched our relationships. Importantly, we are now beginning to see 

the benefits of these changes in our financial results as we delivered strong earnings growth, operating 

margin expansion and record operating cash flow in 2016, as outlined below:

•  Revenues before reimbursements of $1.11 billion, compared with $1.17 billion in 2015 

•  Net income of $36.0 million, or $0.67 diluted earnings per CRD-A share and $0.60 per CRD-B share, 
versus a net loss of $45.5 million, or ($0.79) per CRD-A share and ($0.87) per CRD-B share in 2015

•  Diluted earnings per share on a non-GAAP basis before goodwill impairment, restructuring and 
special charges of $0.79 and $0.71 for CRD-A and CRD-B, respectively, in 2016, compared with  
$0.53 and $0.45 for CRD-A and CRD-B, respectively, in 2015

•  Consolidated operating earnings (a non-GAAP financial measure) of $92.1 million versus  

$70.4 million in 2015, an increase of 31 percent

•  Increased operating margins by 230 basis points, to 8.3 percent

•  Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure) totaled $126.2 million versus  

$107.2 million in 2015, a year over year increase of 18 percent

•  Record cash flows from operating activities of $98.9 million, compared to $61.7 million in 2015,  

a 60 percent increase year over year

As can be seen, the restructuring initiatives that we implemented throughout 2015, combined with our 

continued cost vigilance in 2016, have firmly placed Crawford in a position to achieve our medium term 

goal of delivering 10% consolidated operating margins in the future. Looking forward, we will maintain 

our expense discipline as we strive to further optimize our operations and raise the profitability of 

Crawford & Company.

That said, cost reduction alone is not enough.  
We must deliver revenue growth to truly maximize 
value for our shareholders. When I was first appointed 
to this job, I met with many of our largest customers 
to lay out our strategy and reaffirm our commitment 
to them. Time and again they told me of their 
willingness to partner with Crawford, and indeed, 
expressed their desire to help us grow by using our 
products and services to better run their businesses. 
This represents a large untapped market opportunity 
as we strive to more effectively cross sell our vast 
product suite into our loyal customer base. 

A critical component to the successful execution 
of our growth strategy is the recent recruitment of 
Andrew Robinson, who joined the company in January 
as our chief operating officer, a new role at Crawford. 
With each of our four business segments reporting 
to him, Andrew will be focused on optimizing our 
operations and building a client-centric organization 
and sales culture that reignites growth. I am excited to 
have Andrew on board as his skill set and experience 
are well aligned with the renewed strategic direction 
of Crawford, as well as the ongoing cultural shift 
within the Company. 

Beyond the many cross sale opportunities that exist, 
we also see the potential to be a disruptive force in 
the market given the rapid change that our industry 
is experiencing. To ensure that Crawford stays at 
the forefront of this change, we created Crawford 
Innovative Ventures, LLC in the fourth quarter,  
an entity formed to invest in strategic acquisitions and 
partnerships. This strategic investment vehicle will be 
a catalyst for change across the property and casualty 
industry as well as Crawford worldwide, bringing 
about new thinking, innovation and adding to our 
growing entrepreneurial culture. 

In early January 2017, Crawford Innovative Ventures 
made its first investment with the acquisition of a 
majority interest in WeGoLook®, a truly disruptive 
business focused on leveraging on demand independent 
contractors to expedite claims. WeGoLook advances 

our goal of providing cutting-edge management of 
insurance claims from the initial incident through 
the final repair. We see a significant opportunity to 
rapidly grow the business by leveraging Crawford’s 
existing client base, as well as expanding WeGoLook’s 
innovative service offering into adjacent markets, such 
as property claims, plus additional non-insurance lines 
such as automotive, heavy equipment and the financial 
services sectors. The market for this product reaches far 
beyond the insurance industry, providing an opportunity 
to diversify our sources of revenue. Importantly, as 
WeGoLook grows over time, we believe it will moderate 
the impact of weather volatility in our claims business.

Delivering predictable financial results and consistent 
growth is our number one strategic priority. As we 
further grow our recurring revenue businesses including 
Contractor Connection®, Broadspire and now 
WeGoLook, the volatility in our global claims business 
should begin to diminish, which can already be seen as 
we exceeded our financial guidance this past year.  
Some highlights by segment for 2016 are as follows:

U.S. SERVICES
Our U.S. Services segment revenues were  
$231.2 million in 2016, with operating earnings of 
$35.7 million, or 15 percent of revenues. Hurricane 
Matthew helped to offset the reduction in revenues 
from the run off of a large staff augmentation services 
contract for a major U.S. carrier. Despite this run off, 
the contract still continued as a significant revenue 
source and the service model is an opportunity for 
future growth. Our Contractor Connection service 
line grew revenues by 19 percent over 2015, marking  
its 17th year of consecutive growth.

INTERNATIONAL
Foreign exchange rates adversely affected our 
international business segment in 2016, resulting in 
a six percent reduction in revenues during the year. 
Nevertheless, catastrophic claims emanating from 
Australia in our Asia-Pacific region added significant 
revenues and, when coupled with our significant cost-

08

CRAWFORD & COMPANY  /  2016 ANNUAL REPORTcutting efforts across all regions, added five percentage 
points to operating margins. Revenues were $479.9 
million, with operating earnings of $42.5 million, a 126 
percent improvement year over year. The increase in 
operating earnings was the result of improvements in 
all of our major operating regions. We also continued 
to address the largest and most complex claims, and 
further strengthened our leadership team through the 
appointment of a new chief executive officer of Global 
Technical Services®. Overall, the international segment 
accounted for 43 percent of total company revenues 
before reimbursements, representing the largest of 
our four segments. 

BROADSPIRE
Our Broadspire segment delivered its fifth 
consecutive year of growth in 2016, recording 
revenues of $302.0 million, a three percent increase 
over 2015. Operating earnings for the year totaled 
$30.0 million, or ten percent of revenues. These results  
were attributable to increased claims and medical 
management revenues, as well as higher average 
case values. Strategically, in 2016 Broadspire  
re-entered the disability claims market, a significant 
opportunity for us. To re-establish our presence 
in this market, we invested in our sales force, 
with a plan to capitalize in both the stand-alone 
disability claims business and in the significant cross-
selling opportunity that exists between workers 
compensation and disability claims.

GARDEN CITY GROUP™
2016 was an important year for our new leadership 
team at Garden City Group (GCG®) who successfully 
managed the expected decline of two large projects, 
instilled a culture of cost discipline and maintained 
the business’ competitive positioning in the market. 
Revenues were $96.2 million in 2016, with operating 
earnings of $7.8 million, or eight percent of revenues. 
GCG’s new team-oriented culture has improved 
our operational efficiency and sharpened our sales 
culture, resulting in new business in class action 

litigation and promising opportunities in consumer 
product recall cases. At the end of 2016, GCG’s 
project backlog totaled $81.0 million, the same as  
at the end of 2015.

LOOKING FORWARD
As I anticipate 2017 and beyond, I am pleased with the 
progress we have made, but also mindful that we have 
much more work to do. 

Simply put, our revenue needs to grow. We will 
continue to focus on our global claims management 
businesses with opportunities that enable the 
company to grow regardless of the insurance claims 
market backdrop. Over the balance of 2017, we will 
be focused on further reducing our expense base, 
while reinvesting a portion of the savings back into 
the business. This reinvestment will be centered on 
driving organic revenue growth, as we reposition our 
sales teams to be more client-centric with a focus on 
cross selling. We will also work to expand our client 
base to grow the global footprint of our well-known 
brands such as Broadspire, Contractor Connection 
and our recently acquired WeGoLook business. As we 
successfully deliver on these initiatives, I am confident 
that we will begin to deliver organic revenue growth. 

Crawford & Company marked its 75th anniversary 
in 2016, and I can’t think of a more fitting manner 
in which to celebrate that milestone than with the 
results and progress we made during the year. I’m 
immensely proud of our entire team. I would like 
to thank our customers, employees, partners and 
shareholders for their continuing trust in us.

Sincerely,

Harsha V. Agadi
President and Chief Executive Officer

Disrupting the industry 
through innovation.

In January 2017, Crawford Innovative Ventures acquired a majority interest in Oklahoma-City based 

WeGoLook, a truly disruptive business that uses a large and proficient on demand mobile workforce to 

expedite claims and other activities.

This online and mobile collaborative economy platform allows Crawford to continue to revolutionize, 

automate and expedite the claims handling process. WeGoLook focuses on a key step in the claims 

process by deploying more than 30,000 independent contractors to collect and verify information on 

demand. Leveraging the gig economy, the company’s “Lookers” support the insurance industry and a 

broad range of traditional on demand field services within other industries that require custom tasking. 

Their cost-effective services allow Crawford to unlock the large, underserved market for high frequency 

/ low complex claims, reduce claims handling fees and help guard against fraud. 

As is the case with all Crawford services, WeGoLook inspection capabilities are comprehensive, covering 

all forms of real estate, auto and fleet inspections, financial services and heavy equipment verifications, 

as well as a broad range of individual inspection services. 

The WeGoLook acquisition is the first for Crawford Innovative Ventures, but we continue to identify, 

examine and assess other opportunities to add value in the claims continuum – for our customers  

and for our shareholders.

(1) This is a segment financial measure calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 280, “Segment Reporting,” and representing segment earnings before certain unallocated corporate 

and shared costs and credits, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of customer-relationship intangible assets, goodwill impairment charges, 
restructuring and special charges and credits, income taxes, and net loss or income attributable to noncontrolling interests. 

(2) The Company computes earnings (loss) per share of CRD-A and CRD-B using the two-class method, which allocates the undistributed earnings (loss) for each period to each 
class on a proportionate basis. The Company’s Board of Directors has the right, but not the obligation, to declare higher dividends on CRD-A than on CRD-B, subject to certain 
limitations. In periods when the dividend is the same for CRD-A and CRD-B or when no dividends are declared or paid to either class, the two-class method generally will yield the 
same earnings (loss) per share for CRD-A and CRD-B.
