INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This press release contains "forward-looking statements," as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management's current views concerning future events or results, use words like "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project" and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like "could," "may," "might," "should, " "will" and "would".

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could materially affect our future results include, among other things:

   -- our ability to maintain adequate safeguards to protect the security of 
      our information systems and confidential, personal or proprietary 
      information, particularly given the increased risk of cybersecurity 
      attacks, including hacking, viruses, malware, ransomware and other types 
      of data security breaches, as well as the heightened risk caused by 
      remote work arrangements; 
 
   -- the impact from lawsuits or investigations arising from errors and 
      omissions, breaches of fiduciary duty or other claims against us in our 
      capacity as a broker or investment advisor; 
 
   -- increased regulatory activity and scrutiny by regulatory or law 
      enforcement authorities in the financial services industry; 
 
   -- the financial and operational impact of complying with laws and 
      regulations where we operate and the risks of noncompliance with such 
      laws by us or third-party providers, including anti-corruption laws such 
      as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. Anti-Bribery Act and 
      cybersecurity and data privacy regulations such as the E.U.'s General 
      Data Protection Regulation; 
 
   -- the impact of COVID-19 on our business operations, results of operations, 
      cash flows and financial position; 
 
   -- our ability to compete effectively and adapt to changes in the 
      competitive environment, including to respond to technological change, 
      disintermediation, digital disruption and other types of innovation; 
 
   -- our ability to manage risks associated with our investment management and 
      related services business, particularly in the context of uncertain 
      equity markets, including our ability to execute timely trades in light 
      of increased trading volume and to manage potential conflicts of 
      interest; 
 
   -- our ability to attract and retain industry leading talent; 
 
   -- the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, 
      particularly due to recently enacted legislation in the U.K. and 
      proposals from the U.S. government or from the Organization for Economic 
      Development and Cooperation, or disagreements with tax authorities; 
 
   -- our ability to successfully recover if we experience a business 
      continuity problem due to cyberattack, natural disaster, government 
      unrest or otherwise; and 
 
   -- the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise based on 
      insurance placement activities and growing insurer revenue streams. 
 

The factors identified above are not exhaustive. Marsh McLennan and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge frequently. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the dates on which they are made.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Three Months Ended June 30

 

(Millions) (Unaudited)

 
 
Overview 
 
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States (referred to in this 
release as in accordance with "GAAP" or "reported" results). The Company also 
refers to and presents below certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, 
within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 
These measures are: adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating 
margin, adjusted income, net of tax and adjusted earnings per share (EPS). The 
Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to 
the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with 
GAAP in the following tables. 
 
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful 
supplemental information that enables investors to better compare the 
Company's performance across periods. Management also uses these measures 
internally to assess the operating performance of its businesses, to assess 
performance for employee compensation purposes, and to decide how to allocate 
resources. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in 
isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the 
Company reports in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP measures 
include adjustments that reflect how management views its businesses, and may 
differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies. 
 
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating Margin 
 
Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated by excluding the impact of 
certain noteworthy items from the Company's GAAP operating income or (loss). 
The following tables identify these noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted 
operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income or loss, on a consolidated 
and reportable segment basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 
and 2020. The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the 
three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, adjusted operating margin 
is calculated by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income and identified 
intangible asset amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted revenue.

Adjusted income, net of tax is calculated as the Company's GAAP income from 
continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the after tax impact of the 
operating income adjustments in the preceding tables and investments gains or 
losses related to the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on certain equity 
securities. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing the Company's adjusted 
income, net of tax, by average number of shares outstanding-diluted for the 
relevant period. The following tables reconcile adjusted income, net of tax to 
GAAP income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS for the 
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
