ITEM 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On October 23, 2006, Crawford & Company (the “Company”) issued a press release containing
information about the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the
third quarter of 2006. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to the related
GAAP measure is included. Operating earnings is one of the key performance measures used by the
Company’s senior management to evaluate the performance of its business and make resource
allocation decisions. The Company believes this measure is useful to investors in that it allows
them to evaluate its performance using the same criteria that management uses.
