NEW YORK, Aug 03, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Brian Duperreault, MMC President and CEO said: "We are pleased with the progress MMC made in the second quarter. Our Risk and Insurance Services segment grew revenue in an environment of continued soft market conditions in the property and casualty marketplace. Marsh produced strong new business globally, with especially good revenue growth in Asia Pacific and Latin America. Guy Carpenter generated underlying revenue growth, reflecting new business production. In our Consulting segment, Mercer continued to control expenses in a weak economic environment. We were also pleased with the growth in revenue and operating income generated by Oliver Wyman.

"The sale of Kroll will allow us to concentrate on our Risk and Insurance Services and Consulting businesses. We look forward to pursuing our objectives for future growth and to unlocking the potential of MMC as a strategic enterprise," Mr. Duperreault concluded.

MMC Consolidated Results

MMC's consolidated revenue in the second quarter of 2010 rose 6 percent to $2.6 billion from the second quarter of 2009, or 1 percent on an underlying basis. Underlying revenue measures the change in revenue before the impact of acquisitions and dispositions, using consistent currency exchange rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, MMC's consolidated revenue was $5.2 billion, an increase of 7 percent, or 1 percent on an underlying basis.

For the second quarter of 2010, net income was $236 million, or $.43 per share, compared with a loss in the prior period. MMC reported a loss from continuing operations in the second quarter of 2010 of $29 million, or $.06 per share, compared with income of $157 million, or $.28 per share, in the same period of 2009. Kroll has been classified as a discontinued operation following the agreement reached by MMC in June to sell Kroll to Altegrity for $1.13 billion. The transaction is expected to close this week. Discontinued operations, net of tax, was $271 million, or $.49 per share, compared with a loss in the prior period.

In the second quarter, earnings per share on an adjusted basis increased 28 percent to $.46, compared with $.36 in 2009. Adjusted earnings per share in both periods excludes noteworthy items and includes the operating results of Kroll as presented in the attached supplemental schedules on pages 10 and 12.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net income was $484 million, or $.88 per share, compared with a loss in the prior period.

Operating income in the second quarter of 2010 rose 5 percent to $258 million, compared with $245 million in last year's second quarter. Adjusted operating income rose 11 percent to $302 million from $271 million, reflecting improved performance at Marsh and Guy Carpenter, as well as acquisitions. For the first six months of 2010, segment revenue was $3 billion, an increase of 9 percent from the prior year period, and flat on an underlying basis.

Marsh's revenue in the second quarter of 2010 rose 9 percent to $1.2 billion from the same period in 2009, or 1 percent on an underlying basis. Underlying revenue growth in international operations was 6 percent, reflecting 3 percent growth in EMEA, 12 percent in Asia Pacific and 13 percent in Latin America. Marsh had strong growth in new business in the quarter. Insurance premiums in the property and casualty marketplace continued to decline.

In the quarter, Marsh completed the acquisition of HSBC Insurance Brokers, whose integration is progressing well. Additionally, Marsh & McLennan Agency acquired The Bostonian Group Insurance Agency.

Guy Carpenter's second quarter 2010 revenue rose 7 percent to $243 million, or 2 percent on an underlying basis, reflecting strong new business generation.

For the first six months of 2010, segment revenue increased 4 percent to $2.3 billion, or 1 percent on an underlying basis. Due to the settlement of the Alaska litigation, an operating loss of $275 million was incurred in the second quarter of 2010, compared with operating income of $96 million in the second quarter of 2009. Adjusted operating income was $127 million, compared with $131 million in 2009.

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

  • our ability to consummate the anticipated sale of Kroll to Altegrity due to the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement or the failure by either party to satisfy other conditions to the transaction;
  • our exposure to potential liabilities arising from errors and omissions claims against us, particularly in the Marsh and Mercer businesses;
  • the impact of any regional, national or global political, economic, regulatory or market conditions on our results of operations and financial condition;
  • our ability to make strategic acquisitions and dispositions and to integrate, and realize expected synergies, savings or strategic benefits from the businesses we acquire;
  • the potential impact of rating agency actions on our cost of financing and ability to borrow, as well as on our operating costs and competitive position;
  • changes in the funded status of our global defined benefit pension plans and the impact of any increased pension funding resulting from those changes;
  • our exposure to potential criminal sanctions or civil remedies if we fail to comply with foreign and U.S. laws and regulations that are applicable to our international operations, including import and export requirements, U.S. laws such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials;
  • the impact on our net income caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
  • the extent to which we retain existing clients and attract new business, and our ability to incentivize and retain key employees;
  • the impact of competition, including with respect to pricing, and the emergence of new competitors;
  • our ability to successfully recover should we experience a disaster or other business continuity problem;
  • changes in applicable tax or accounting requirements; and
  • potential income statement effects from the application of FASB's ASC Topic No. 740 ("Income Taxes") regarding accounting treatment of uncertain tax benefits and valuation allowances and ASC Topic No. 350 ("Intangibles - Goodwill and Other"), including the effect of any subsequent adjustments to the estimates MMC uses in applying these accounting standards.

Non-GAAP Measures

MMC presents below certain additional financial measures that are "non-GAAP measures" within the meaning of Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: adjusted operating income (loss); adjusted operating margin; and adjusted income, net of tax.
MMC presents these non-GAAP measures to provide investors with additional information to analyze the company's performance from period to period. Management also uses these measures to assess performance for incentive compensation purposes and to allocate resources in managing MMC's businesses. However, investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that MMC reports in accordance with GAAP. MMC's non-GAAP measures reflect subjective determinations by management, 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 MMC's GAAP operating income or loss. The following table identifies these noteworthy items and reconciles adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income or loss, on a consolidated and segment basis, for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The following table also presents adjusted operating margin, which is calculated by dividing adjusted operating income by consolidated or segment GAAP revenue.

Supplemental Information - Discontinued Operations

(Millions) (Unaudited)

On June 7, 2010, MMC announced the sale of Kroll, Inc. to Altegrity, Inc. for $1.13 billion in cash. Kroll's results of operations are reported as discontinued operations in MMC's consolidated statements of income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

The six months ended June 30, 2010 includes an after-tax loss on the disposal of Kroll Lab Services ("KLS") that was sold in the first quarter of 2010.

In the second quarter of 2009, Kroll completed the sale of Kroll Government Services ("KGS"). The financial results of KGS for the second quarter of 2009 are included in discontinued operations. Discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 also includes the accretion of interest related to an indemnity for uncertain tax positions provided as part of the purchase by Great West Lifeco Inc. of Putnam Investments Trust from MMC in August 2007.

The three and six-month tax on the disposal of discontinued operations includes an estimated tax credit of approximately $265 million for the recognition of a deferred tax asset related to the book/tax basis difference, as a result of the pending Kroll sale.

Summarized Statements of Income data for discontinued operations is as follows:
