NEW YORK, Aug 03, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (NYSE: MMC) today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011.

Brian Duperreault, President and CEO, said: "We are very pleased with our performance in the first half of 2011. Our excellent second quarter performance successfully built on our strong first quarter results.

"Each of our four operating companies produced strong growth in revenue and profitability in the second quarter. In Risk and Insurance Services, Marsh's underlying revenue grew across all geographies, reflecting increases in new business development and client revenue retention rates. Guy Carpenter continued to produce impressive results, reporting its tenth consecutive quarter of underlying revenue growth.

"Consulting produced strong underlying revenue growth as it has over the last year. Mercer continued to generate positive results, led by good underlying revenue growth in its consulting and investments businesses. Oliver Wyman achieved strong underlying revenue growth for the sixth consecutive quarter.

"We continue to progress toward our goal to establish Marsh & McLennan Companies as an elite, global growth enterprise. Our operating results in the first half of the year demonstrate the type of performance the senior leadership team is striving for. Sustaining this performance over the long term should translate into outstanding results for our shareholders," concluded Mr. Duperreault.

These statements, which express management's current views concerning future events or results, use words like "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "plan," "project" and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and "would." For example, we may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: the outcome of contingencies; market and industry conditions; changes in our business strategies and methods of generating revenue; the development and performance of our services and products; changes in the composition or level of our revenues; our cost structure and the outcome of cost-saving or restructuring initiatives; dividend policy; the expected impact of acquisitions and dispositions; pension obligations; cash flow and liquidity; future actions by regulators; and the impact of changes in accounting rules.

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, among other things:

  • our exposure to potential liabilities arising from errors and omissions claims against us, particularly in our Marsh and Mercer businesses;
  • our ability to make strategic acquisitions and dispositions and to integrate, and realize expected synergies, savings or strategic benefits from the businesses we acquire;
  • changes in the funded status of our global defined benefit pension plans and the impact of any increased pension funding resulting from those changes;
  • the impact on our net income caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates;
  • the impact on our net income or cash flows and our effective tax rate in a particular period caused by settled tax audits and expired statutes of limitation;
  • the extent to which we retain existing clients and attract new business, and our ability to incentivize and retain key employees;
  • the impact of any regional, national or global political, economic, regulatory or market conditions on our results of operations and financial condition;
  • 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, anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act 2010, local laws prohibiting corrupt payments to government officials, as well as various trade sanctions laws;
  • the impact of competition, including with respect to pricing;
  • 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;
  • 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 we use in applying these accounting standards.

The factors identified above are not exhaustive. Marsh & McLennan Companies and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks may emerge frequently. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on the above forward-looking statements, which 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. Further information concerning Marsh & McLennan Companies and its businesses, including information about factors that could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition, is contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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 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

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, 2011 and 2010.
