The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with (i) our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, contained in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (ii) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. As described in Note 1, "Basis of Presentation," the financial results of our operations outside of the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean, and certain subsidiaries in the Philippines are included in our consolidated financial statements on a two-month delayed basis (fiscal year-end of October 31) as permitted by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in order to provide sufficient time for accumulation of their results.
Results of Operations
Consolidated revenues before reimbursements decreased $1.6 million, or (0.5)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the same period of 2025. This decrease was primarily driven by lower volumes in our U.S. Property & Casualty reportable segment, as well as revenue reductions due to the disposal of the Crawford Legal Services businesses in our International Operations reportable segment. Changes in foreign exchange rates increased our consolidated revenues before reimbursements by $7.7 million, or 2.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and increased revenues by $15.5 million, or 2.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared with the prior year periods. To illustrate this impact, segment revenues are presented below, using a constant exchange rate, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.

Excluding foreign currency impacts, consolidated revenues before reimbursements decreased $9.3 million, or (2.9)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and decreased $19.6 million, or (3.1)%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the same periods of 2025. Revenues from the U.S. Property & Casualty segment decreased in the 2026 second quarter and year to date period primarily due to a continued decrease in staff augmentation and weather-driven services within our Catastrophe Services and Contractor Connection businesses. Revenues from the Broadspire segment increased for each of the 2026 periods due to an increase in Claims and Medical Management revenues, partially offset by a reduction in Subrogation revenues. Excluding foreign currency impacts, revenues from the International Operations segment decreased in the 2026 second quarter compared with the same period in 2025 due to reductions in the U.K. and Latin America, partially offset by revenue increases in Australia, Canada, and Asia. Excluding foreign currency impacts, revenues from the International Operations segment decreased in the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in 2025 due to reductions in the U.K., Europe, and Latin America, partially offset by revenue increases in Australia, Canada, and Asia.
30
Overall, there were slight increases in cases received of 0.1% and 0.4% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively. Within our U.S. Property & Casualty segment, cases decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of a weather-related reduction in all service lines. There was a slight decrease in cases within our Broadspire segment for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year period due to a decline in Subrogation cases. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, Broadspire cases increased due primarily to increases in new disability clients within our Claims Management service line, partially offset by a decline in Subrogation cases and decreased casualty claims within our Claims Management service line. Cases within our International Operations segment increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to an increase in high-frequency, low-severity cases in Spain.
Cases received are presented below by segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025:

Costs of services provided, before reimbursements, increased $1.7 million, or 0.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and increased $1.2 million, or 0.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the 2025 periods. As a percentage of revenues before reimbursements, costs of services decreased consistent with the decrease in revenues.
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased $8.7 million, or (11.1)%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $7.1 million, or (4.7)%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared with the 2025 periods. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million one-time indirect tax expense in the 2025 second quarter and lower compensation costs, partially offset by a $2.3 million software impairment charge.
Operating Earnings of our Operating Segments
We believe that a discussion and analysis of the segment operating earnings of our operating segments is helpful in understanding the results of our operations. Operating earnings is our segment measure of profitability presented in conformity with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 280 "Segment Reporting." Operating earnings is the primary financial performance measure used by our senior management and CODM to evaluate the financial performance of our operating segments and make resource allocation and certain compensation decisions.
31
We believe operating earnings is a measure that is useful for others to evaluate segment operating performance using the same criteria used by our senior management and CODM. Segment operating earnings represents segment earnings, including the direct and indirect costs of certain administrative functions required to operate our business, but excludes unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, non-service pension costs, income taxes, loss on disposal of businesses, net, software impairment, and net (income) loss attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Administrative functions such as finance, human resources, information technology, quality and compliance, exist both in a centralized shared-service arrangement and within certain operations. Each of these functions is managed by centralized management and the costs of those services are allocated to the segments as indirect costs based on usage.
In addition, we believe that a non-GAAP discussion and analysis of segment gross profit is helpful in understanding the results of our segment operations, excluding indirect centralized administrative support costs. Our discussion and analysis of segment gross profit includes the revenues and direct expenses of each segment. Segment gross profit is defined as revenues, less direct costs, which exclude indirect centralized administrative support costs allocated to the business.
Income taxes, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, and non-service pension costs are recurring components of our net income, but they are not considered part of our segment operating earnings because they are managed on a corporate-wide basis. Income taxes are calculated for the Company on a consolidated basis based on statutory rates in effect in the various jurisdictions in which we provide services, and vary significantly by jurisdiction. Net corporate interest expense results from capital structure decisions made by senior management and the Board of Directors, affecting the Company as a whole. Stock option expense represents the non-cash costs generally related to stock options and employee stock purchase plan expenses which are not allocated to our operating segments. Contingent earnout adjustments represent fair value adjustments of earnout liabilities arising from recent acquisitions. Amortization expense is a non-cash expense for finite-lived customer-relationship and trade name intangible assets acquired in business combinations. Non-service pension costs represent the U.S. and U.K. non-service defined benefit pension costs, which are non-operating in nature as the U.S. plan is frozen and the U.K. plans are closed to new participants. The service cost component of the U.K. plans remains in compensation expense. The exclusion of this measurement is intended to exclude market volatility related to an expense that is non-operating in nature and not related to business performance. None of these costs relate directly to the performance of our services or operating activities and, therefore, are excluded from segment operating earnings in order to better assess the results of each segment's operating activities on a consistent basis.
Unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits include expenses and credits related to our chief executive officer and Board of Directors, certain provisions for bad debt allowances or subsequent recoveries such as those related to bankrupt clients, certain unallocated professional fees, certain payroll tax and benefits, and certain self-insurance costs and recoveries that are not allocated to our individual operating segments.
Additional discussion and analysis of our income taxes, net corporate interest expense, stock option expense, amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets, contingent earnout adjustments, non-service pension costs, and unallocated corporate and shared costs, net follows the discussion and analysis of the results of operations of our three operating segments.
Segment Revenues
In the normal course of business, our segments incur certain out-of-pocket expenses that are thereafter reimbursed by our clients. Under GAAP, these out-of-pocket expenses and associated reimbursements are required to be included when reporting expenses and revenues, respectively, in our consolidated results of operations as we are considered the principal in these transactions. In the discussion and analysis of results of operations which follows, we do not include a gross up of expenses and revenues for these pass-through reimbursed expenses. The amounts of reimbursed expenses and related revenues offset each other in our results of operations with no impact to our net income or operating earnings. A reconciliation of revenues before reimbursements to consolidated revenues determined in accordance with GAAP is self-evident from the face of the accompanying statements of operations. Unless noted in the following discussion and analysis, revenue amounts exclude reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses.
Our segment results are impacted by changes in foreign exchange rates. We believe that a non-GAAP discussion and analysis of segment revenues before reimbursements by major region, based on actual exchange rates and using a constant exchange rate, is helpful in understanding the results of our segment operations.
Segment Expenses
Our discussion and analysis of segment operating expenses is comprised of two components: "Direct Compensation, Fringe Benefits & Non-Employee Labor" and "Expenses Other Than Direct Compensation, Fringe Benefits & Non-Employee Labor."
"Direct Compensation, Fringe Benefits & Non-Employee Labor" includes direct compensation, payroll taxes, and benefits provided to the employees of each segment, as well as payments to outsourced service providers that augment our staff in each segment. As a service company, these costs represent our most significant and variable operating expenses.
32
Costs of administrative functions, including direct compensation, payroll taxes, and benefits, are managed centrally and considered indirect costs. The allocated indirect costs of our shared-services infrastructure are allocated to each segment based on usage and reflected within "Expenses Other Than Direct Compensation, Fringe Benefits & Non-Employee Labor" of each segment.
In addition to allocated corporate and shared costs, "Expenses Other Than Direct Compensation, Fringe Benefits & Non-Employee Labor" includes travel and entertainment, office rent and occupancy costs, automobile expenses, office operating expenses, data processing costs, cost of risk, professional fees, and amortization and depreciation expense other than amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets.
Unless noted in the following discussion and analysis, revenue amounts exclude reimbursements for out-of-pocket expenses and expense amounts exclude reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses.
Segment Performance Indicators
We typically earn our revenues on an individual fee-per-claim basis for claims management services we provide to carriers, brokers and corporates. Accordingly, the volume of claim referrals to us is a key driver of our revenues. We believe that a discussion and analysis of the segment unit volumes, as measured by cases received, is helpful in understanding the results of our operations.

U.S. PROPERTY & CASUALTY SEGMENT
Operating earnings in our U.S. Property & Casualty segment totaled $7.2 million, or 9.7% of revenues before reimbursements, for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 2025 operating earnings of $7.5 million, or 9.0% of revenues before reimbursements. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, our U.S. Property & Casualty segment reported operating earnings of $14.8 million, or 10.1% of revenues before reimbursements, compared with 2025 operating earnings of $17.2 million, or 10.5% of revenues before reimbursements. The decrease in operating earnings in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior year periods was driven by a decline in revenues within the Catastrophe Services and Contractor Connection service lines, offsetting benefits from reduced centralized indirect support costs.
Excluding centralized indirect support costs, gross profit decreased from $21.3 million, or 25.8% of revenues before reimbursements in 2025, to $19.2 million, or 25.9% of revenues before reimbursements, in the three months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, gross profit decreased from $44.4 million or 26.9% of revenues before reimbursements in 2025 to $39.8 million, or 27.1% of revenues before reimbursements, primarily due to revenue declines within the Catastrophe Services and Contractor Connection service lines.

Changes in product mix and in the rates charged for those services accounted for a (1.4)% revenue decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the same period in 2025.
42
Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, revenues decreased in the U.K. for the three and six month periods due to a reduction in higher-value third-party administration claims as well as a reduction in legal services. There was an increase in revenues in Europe in the 2026 periods, compared with 2025, due to new clients in Spain, Norway, and the Netherlands, partially offset by a reduction in flood related revenues in the Middle East. There was an increase in Australia in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the prior year periods, due to increased weather-related activity, partially offset by the sale of the legal services division. Canada increased in each period due to a new client in third-party administration. There was an increase in revenues in Asia for the three and six month periods, compared with 2025, due to earthquakes in Thailand in 2025 that continue to generate revenues in the current year, as well as improved results in Malaysia. The decrease in revenues in Latin America in the 2026 periods was primarily driven by a reduction in weather-related cases in Chile.

Overall, there was an increase in cases received of 11.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the 2025 period. The increases were primarily related to high-frequency, low-severity cases within Europe, where Spain had an increase of 16,000 cases and the Netherlands increased by 3,000 cases. In addition, Canada volume improved due to the addition of a new client with high-frequency, low-severity cases. Australia had a decrease in claims primarily due to 6,000 storm claims added in the prior year second quarter, offset by additions related to 2026 weather-related activity. U.K had a decline in third-party administration cases. Latin America also had decreased cases due to a reduction in high-frequency, low-value cases received in Brazil of 2,000 cases.

Direct Compensation, Fringe Benefits & Non-Employee Labor
The most significant expense in our International Operations segment is the compensation of employees, including related payroll taxes and fringe benefits, and the payments to outsourced service providers that augment the functions performed by our employees. As a percentage of revenues before reimbursements, these expenses were 64.5% and 66.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The total dollar amount of these expenses was $89.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $88.2 million for the 2025 period. The fluctuation in exchange rates resulted in an increase to these expenses by $4.9 million. The decrease as a percentage of revenues before reimbursements was due to lower administrative compensation costs and non-employee labor within the region. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, these expenses were 66.5%, compared with 67.6% in 2025, and were $179.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $174.6 million in 2025. The fluctuation in exchange rates resulted in an increase to these expenses by $10.3 million. The decrease as a percentage of revenues before reimbursements was due to lower administrative compensation costs and non-employee labor within the region. There was an average of 4,195 full-time equivalent employees in this segment in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with an average of 4,418 in the comparable 2025 period.
Expenses Other than Reimbursements, Direct Compensation, Fringe Benefits & Non-Employee Labor
International Operations expenses other than reimbursements, direct compensation, fringe benefits, and non-employee labor were $38.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $36.8 million for the 2025 period. As a percentage of revenues before reimbursements, these expenses were 27.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with 27.8% for the 2025 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, these expenses were $75.6 million, compared with $74.3 million for the 2025 period. As a percentage of revenues before reimbursements, these expenses were 28.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with 28.8% for the 2025 period. The increase in expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the 2025 period was due to increased professional fees and increased centralized indirect support costs. The increase in expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the prior period was due to the increased professional fees, an increase in self-insurance costs, partially offset by a reduction in centralized indirect support costs. There was a decrease in the expense as a percentage of revenues before reimbursements for the 2026 periods as compared to 2025 due to the increased revenues of the segment.
EXPENSES AND CREDITS EXCLUDED FROM SEGMENT OPERATING EARNINGS
Income Taxes
The Company's consolidated effective income tax rate may change periodically due to changes in enacted statutory tax rates, changes in tax law or policy, changes in the composition of taxable income from the countries in which it operates, the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, changes in permanent reinvestment assertions, and changes in unrecognized tax benefits. We estimate that our effective income tax rate for 2026 will be approximately 33% to 35% after considering known discrete items as of June 30, 2026.
The provision for income taxes on consolidated income before income tax totaled $6.2 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The overall effective tax rate decreased to 31.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 compared with 42.8% for the 2025 period primarily due to a one-time expense of $1.3 million relating to administrative guidance issued by a foreign tax authority in 2025.
The provision for income taxes on consolidated income before income tax totaled $8.6 million and $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The overall effective tax rate decreased to 32.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with 36.4% for the 2025 period primarily due to a one-time expense of $1.3 million relating to administrative guidance issued by a foreign tax authority in 2025.
Net Corporate Interest Expense
Net corporate interest expense consists of interest expense that we incur on our short- and long-term borrowings, partially offset by any interest income we earn on available cash balances and short-term investments. These amounts vary based on interest rates, borrowings outstanding and the amounts of invested cash. Corporate interest expense totaled $3.6 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest income was $0.8 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Corporate interest expense totaled $7.0 million and $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Interest income was $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
44
Stock Option Expense
Stock option expense, a component of stock-based compensation, is comprised of non-cash expenses related to stock options granted under our various stock option and employee stock purchase plans. Stock option expense is not allocated to our operating segments. Stock option expense totaled $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Stock option expense totaled $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Amortization of Acquisition-Related Intangible Assets
Amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets represents the non-cash amortization expense for finite-lived customer-relationship and trade name intangible assets. Amortization expense associated with these intangible assets totaled $1.8 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. Amortization expense associated with these intangible assets totaled $3.6 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. This amortization expense is included in "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Unallocated Corporate and Shared Costs, Net
Certain unallocated corporate and shared costs are excluded from the determination of segment operating earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, unallocated corporate and shared costs and credits represented expenses for our chief executive officer and our Board of Directors, certain adjustments to our self-insured liabilities, certain unallocated legal costs and professional fees, and certain adjustments and recoveries to our allowances for estimated credit losses.
Unallocated corporate and shared costs were $4.3 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Unallocated corporate and shared costs were $13.1 million for both six month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The decrease in the 2026 second quarter was primarily due a one-time $3.1 million indirect tax expense incurred in the 2025 second quarter.
Contingent Earnout Adjustments
Contingent earnout expense represents the fair value adjustment of earnout liabilities arising from recent acquisitions. There was no adjustment for the three months ended June 30, 2026, and a benefit of $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to expenses of $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. The fair value adjustment is based on changes to projections of acquired entities over the respective earnout periods, which span multiple years.
Non-Service Pension Costs
Non-service pension costs totaled $2.0 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $2.4 million and $4.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. Non-service pension costs represent the U.S. and U.K. non-service defined benefit pension costs, which are non-operating in nature as the U.S. plan is frozen and the U.K. plans are closed to new participants. The service cost component of the U.K. plans remains in compensation expense.
LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES, AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
At June 30, 2026, our working capital balance (current assets less current liabilities) was approximately $57.4 million, an increase of $14.6 million from the working capital balance at December 31, 2025. Our cash and cash equivalents were $69.4 million at June 30, 2026, compared with $64.1 million at December 31, 2025.
Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2026 consisted of $26.5 million held in the U.S. and $42.9 million held in our foreign subsidiaries. The Company generally does not provide for additional U.S. and foreign income taxes on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries because they are considered to be indefinitely reinvested. The Company maintained its permanent reinvestment assertion on a portion of prior year undistributed earnings for certain foreign operations and accrued deferred taxes attributable to earnings that were not permanently reinvested. The majority of the remaining historical earnings and future foreign earnings are expected to remain permanently reinvested and will be used to provide working capital for these operations, fund defined benefit pension plan obligations, repay non-U.S. debt, fund capital improvements, and fund future acquisitions.
However, if at a future date or time funds that remain permanently reinvested are necessary for our operations in the U.S. or we otherwise believe it is in our best interests to repatriate all or a portion of such funds, we may be required to accrue and pay taxes to repatriate these funds. No assurances can be provided as to the amount or timing thereof, the tax consequences related thereto, or the ultimate impact any such action may have on our results of operations or financial condition.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $21.1 million provided by operating activities in the 2025 period. The increase in cash provided was primarily driven by higher earnings compared to prior year.
45
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $18.3 million used in the first six months of 2025. The decrease in cash used in 2026 was due to proceeds from business dispositions and the decreases in capital expenditures in 2026 compared to 2025 .
Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities was $4.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $1.1 million of cash used in the 2025 period. During the six months of 2026, there was an increase of $9.0 million in net borrowing from our revolving credit facility, compared with a net increase during the 2025 period of $6.6 million. The increase in borrowing in the 2026 period was primarily related to the increase in payments of our accounts payable and accrued liabilities. We added $3.8 million of fiduciary liabilities, due to the timing of fund transfers. We repurchased shares for $9.0 million in the 2026 period, compared with no share repurchases made in the 2025 period. We paid $7.3 million in dividends in the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with $6.9 million in the 2025 period.
Other Matters Concerning Liquidity and Capital Resources
As a component of our Credit Facility with Bank of America (the "Credit Facility"), we maintain a letter of credit facility to satisfy certain contractual obligations. Including $8.0 million of undrawn letters of credit issued under the letter of credit facility, the available balance under our credit facility totaled $280.9 million at June 30, 2026. Our short-term debt obligations typically peak during the first half of each year due to the annual payment of incentive compensation, contributions to retirement plans, working capital fluctuations, and certain other recurring payments, and generally decline during the balance of the year. The balance of short-term borrowings represents amounts under our credit facility that we expect, but are not required, to repay in the next twelve months. Long- and short-term borrowings outstanding, including current installments and finance leases, totaled $198.1 million as of June 30, 2026 compared with $189.1 million at December 31, 2025.
Our liquidity is defined as cash on hand and borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility based on our trailing twelve month EBITDA, as defined in our Credit Facility. At June 30, 2026, this resulted in total liquidity of $356.6 million.
Defined Benefit Pension Funding and Cost
We sponsor a qualified defined benefit pension plan in the U.S. (the "U.S. Qualified Plan"), three defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., and defined benefit pension plans in the Netherlands, Norway, Germany, and the Philippines. Effective December 31, 2002, we froze our U.S. Qualified Plan. Our frozen U.S. Qualified Plan and U.K. plans were underfunded by $15.4 million and overfunded by $12.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2025, based on accumulated benefit obligations of $233.4 million and $156.9 million for the U.S. Qualified Plan and the U.K. plans, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 we made no contributions to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $1.3 million to our U.K defined benefit pension plans, compared with no contributions to the U.S. plan and $1.6 million to the U.K. plans for the six months ended June 30, 2025. We expect to make discretionary contributions of $3.0 million to the U.S. Qualified Plan in 2026 to minimize future funding requirements. Anticipated funding for the other international plans is not significant.
Dividend Payments
Our Board of Directors makes dividend decisions from time to time based in part on an assessment of current and projected earnings and cash flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we paid $7.3 million in dividends. Our ability to pay future dividends could be impacted by many factors including the funding requirements of our defined benefit pension plans, repayments of outstanding borrowings, levels of cash expected to be generated by our operating activities, and covenants and other restrictions contained in any credit facilities or other financing agreements.
Financial Condition
Other significant changes on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026, compared with our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 were as follows:
•Unbilled revenues increased $16.4 million excluding foreign exchange impacts. The increase is primarily attributable to Global Technical Services in the U.S. Property & Casualty segment and Australia and Asia in the International Operations segment.
•Accounts payable and accrued liabilities decreased $16.9 million excluding foreign currency exchange impacts. The decrease is primarily due to payments for employee incentive compensation earned in 2025.
At June 30, 2026, we were not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements which we believe could materially impact our operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
46
As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, we have certain material obligations under operating lease agreements to which we are a party. The Company records operating lease-related assets and liabilities on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We also maintain funds in various trust accounts to administer claims for certain clients. These funds are not available for our general operating activities and, as such, have not been recorded in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have concluded that we do not have a material off-balance sheet risk related to these funds.
