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:

   --  the impact of geopolitical or macroeconomic conditions on us, our 
      clients and the countries and industries in which we operate, including 
      from conflicts such as the war in Ukraine and the evolving events in 
      Israel and Gaza, slower GDP growth or recession, capital markets 
      volatility, and inflation; 
   --  the increasing prevalence of ransomware, supply chain and other forms 
      of cyber attacks, and their potential to disrupt our operations, or the 
      operations of our third party vendors, and result in the disclosure of 
      confidential client or company information; 
   --  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, including claims related to 
      our investment business' ability to execute timely trades; 
   --  the financial and operational impact of complying with laws and 
      regulations, including domestic and international sanctions regimes, 
      anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. 
      Anti Bribery Act and cybersecurity, data privacy and artificial 
      intelligence regulations; 
   --  our ability to attract, retain and develop industry leading talent; 
   --  our ability to compete effectively and adapt to competitive pressures 
      in each of our businesses, including from disintermediation as well as 
      technological change, digital disruption and other types of innovation 
      such as artificial intelligence; 
   --  our ability to manage potential conflicts of interest, including where 
      our services to a client conflict, or are perceived to conflict, with the 
      interests of another client or our own interests; 
   --  the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, such 
      as the implementation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and 
      Development international tax framework, or the increasing number of 
      disagreements with and challenges by tax authorities in the current 
      global tax environment; and 
   --  the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise based on 
      insurance placement activities and insurer revenue streams. 
 

The factors identified above are not exhaustive. Marsh McLennan and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") 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. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Three Months Ended September 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 certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of Regulation G and item 10(e) Regulation S-K in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: non-GAAP revenue, 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 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 (loss). The following tables identify these noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss), on a consolidated and reportable segment basis, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income and identified intangible asset amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted revenue. The Company's adjusted revenue used in the determination of adjusted operating margin is calculated by excluding the impact of certain noteworthy items from the Company's GAAP revenue.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Three Months Ended September 30

 

(Millions) (Unaudited)

 

Non-GAAP revenue isolates the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and certain transaction-related items from the current period GAAP revenue. The non-GAAP revenue measure is presented on a constant currency basis, excluding the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company isolates the impact of foreign exchange rate movements period over period, by translating the current period foreign currency GAAP revenue into U.S. Dollars based on the difference in the current and corresponding prior period exchange rates. Similarly, certain other items such as acquisitions and dispositions, including transfers among businesses, may impact period over period comparisons of revenue and are consistently excluded from current and prior period GAAP revenues for comparability purposes. Percentage changes, referred to as non-GAAP underlying revenue, are calculated by dividing the period over period change in non-GAAP revenue by the prior period non-GAAP revenue.

 

The following table provides the reconciliation of GAAP revenue to non-GAAP revenue:
