Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (NYSE:MMC), a global professional services firm offering clients advice and solutions in risk, strategy and people, today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2018.

 

Dan Glaser, President and CEO, said: "We are pleased with our performance in the first quarter. On a consolidated basis, Marsh & McLennan delivered strong underlying revenue growth of 4% with continued solid earnings growth and margin expansion. We had underlying revenue growth across all of our operating companies, with growth of 3% in Risk & Insurance Services and 5% in Consulting. Adjusted EPS grew 14%, excluding the impact of the new revenue recognition standard."

 

"We are off to a good start to the year and are well positioned to deliver underlying revenue growth in the 3-5% range, margin expansion and strong growth in earnings per share in 2018," concluded Mr. Glaser.

 

Consolidated Results

 

Earnings per share increased 23% to $1.34. Adjusted EPS increased 28% to $1.38 from the prior year period.

Consolidated Statements of Income - Impact of Revenue Standard 
(In millions, except per share figures) 
(Unaudited) 
The Company adopted the new revenue standard ("ASC 606") 
using the  modified retrospective method, applied 
to all contracts. The  guidance requires entities that 
elected the modified retrospective  method to 
disclose the impact to financial statement line items 
as a  result of applying the new guidance (rather 
than previous U.S.  GAAP). The table below shows the 
impacts on the consolidated  statement of income.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures 
Includes Revenue Standard Impact 
Three Months Ended March 31 
(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 "GAAP" or "reported" 
results). The Company also refers to and presents 
below certain  additional non-GAAP financial 
measures, within the meaning of  Regulation G under the Securities Exchange Act 
of 1934. These  measures are:adjusted operating income 
(loss),adjusted  operating margin, adjusted 
income, net of taxandadjusted  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, to assess 
performance for employee compensation  purposes 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 our 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 or loss. The 
following tables identify these  noteworthy items and reconcileadjusted operating 
income (loss)to GAAP operating income or loss, on a consolidated 
and segment  basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The following 
tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the three months 
ended March 31, 2018,adjusted operating marginis calculated  by dividingadjusted 
operating incomeby consolidated or  segment GAAP revenue.

Consolidated Balance Sheets - Impact of Revenue Standard 
(Millions) (Unaudited) 
As discussed earlier, the Company adopted the new revenue 
standard  (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective 
method, applied to all  contracts. The guidance requires 
entities that elected the modified  retrospective 
method to disclose the impact to financial statement 
line items as a result of applying the new guidance 
(rather than  previous U.S. GAAP). The table below shows 
the impacts on the  consolidated balance sheet.
