      and collectability of our receivables; 
 
   -- the impact of disruption in the credit or financial markets, or changes 
      to our credit ratings, including as a result of COVID-19, on our ability 
      to access capital or repay our significant outstanding indebtedness on 
      favorable terms and our compliance with the covenants contained in the 
      agreements that govern our indebtedness; 
 
   -- the impact from lawsuits, other contingent liabilities and loss 
      contingencies arising from errors and omissions, breach of fiduciary duty 
      or other claims against us, including claims related to pandemic 
      coverage; 
 
   -- our ability to manage risks associated with our investment management and 
      related services business, particularly in the context of volatile equity 
      markets caused by COVID-19, including our ability to execute timely 
      trades in light of increased trading volume and to manage potential 
      conflicts of interest between investment consulting and fiduciary 
      management services; 
 
   -- our ability to compete effectively and adapt to changes in the 
      competitive environment, including to respond to technological change, 
      disintermediation, digital disruption and other types of innovation; 
 
   -- our ability to attract and retain industry leading talent; 
 
   -- our ability to maintain adequate safeguards to protect the security of

      by remote work arrangements, including those in the existing JLT 
      information systems; 
 
   -- the impact of investigations, reviews, or other activity by regulatory or 
      law enforcement authorities; 
 
   -- the financial and operational impact of complying with laws and 
      regulations where we operate and the risks of noncompliance with such 
      laws, including anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt 
      Practices Act, U.K. Anti-Bribery Act, trade sanctions regimes and 
      cybersecurity and data privacy regulations such as the E.U.'s General 
      Data Protection Regulation; 
 
   -- the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise based on 
      insurance placement activities and various insurer revenue streams; 
 
   -- our ability to successfully recover if we experience a business 
      continuity problem due to cyberattack, natural disaster or otherwise; and 
 
   -- the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, 
      including certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or 
      disagreements with tax authorities.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Actual as Reported

Three Months Ended June 30

 

(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 tax and adjusted 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 reconcile adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income or loss, on a consolidated and segment basis, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. In 2019, the Company changed its methodology for calculating adjusted operating margin due to the significant amount of identified intangible asset amortization related to the JLT Transaction, on April 1, 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income plus identified intangible asset amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted revenue.

Adjusted income, net of tax is calculated as the Company's GAAP income from continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the after tax impact of the operating income adjustments set forth in the preceding tables and investments gains or losses related to the impact of mark-to-market adjustments on certain equity securities. Adjustments also include JLT acquisition related items, including change in fair value of derivative contracts, financing costs and interest income on funds held in escrow. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing the Company's adjusted income, net of tax, by MMC's average number of shares outstanding-diluted for the relevant period. The following tables reconcile adjusted income, net of tax to GAAP income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The information presented below represents the actual as reported results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2019 do not include JLT's results of operations for the period January 1, 2019 through March 31, 2019.

(a) The Company recorded mark-to-market losses of $2 million and gains of $2 
million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, 
respectively, and losses of $3 million and gains of $6 million for the six 
month periods ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, respectively, which are 
included in investment (loss) income in the consolidated statements of 
income. 
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company sold a portion of its 
investment in Alexander Forbes ("AF"). The Company no longer accounts for this 
investment under the equity method, and records the change in fair value in 
each subsequent period as an investment gain or loss in the consolidated 
statement of income. The Company recorded a loss of $23 million in the second 
quarter of 2020 primarily related to the recognition of accumulated foreign 
currency losses previously recorded as part of equity. 
(b) Reflects the change in fair value of derivatives that were not 
redesignated as accounting hedges following the JLT acquisition, a deal 
contingent foreign exchange contract and derivative contracts related to debt 
issuances. 
(c) Reflects interest expense on debt issuances and amortization of bridge 
financing fees related to the acquisition of JLT (prior to April 1, 2019). 
(d) Interest income earned on funds held in escrow related to the JLT 
acquisition (prior to April 1, 2019).

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - 2019 Revenue Including JLT

Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

 

(Millions) (Unaudited)

 

On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group, plc. JLT's results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 are included in the Company's results of operations for 2020. The Company's prior period 2019 results of operations do not include JLT's results for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Prior to being acquired by the Company, JLT operated in three segments, Specialty, Reinsurance and Employee Benefits. As of April 1, 2019, the historical JLT businesses were combined into MMC operations as follows: JLT Specialty was included by geography within Marsh, JLT Reinsurance was included within Guy Carpenter and the majority of the JLT Employee Benefits business was included in Mercer Health and Wealth.

 

The JLT Transaction had a significant impact on the Company's results of operations in 2019. The Company believes that in addition to the change in reported GAAP revenue, a comparison of 2020 revenue to the combined 2019 revenue of MMC and JLT would provide investors useful information about the year-over-year results.

 

The table below sets forth revenue information as if the companies were combined on January 1, 2019. Consolidated revenue in 2019 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 "MMC as previously reported" does not include JLT revenue for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2019. The "2019 Including JLT" revenue information set forth in the table below presents revenue information as if the companies were combined on January 1, 2019 and is not necessarily indicative of what the results would have been had we operated the business since January 1, 2019.

 

The MMC revenue amounts are as previously reported by the Company in its quarterly filings on Form 10-Q for the applicable periods. JLT 2019 revenue information is derived using the same policies and adjustments as the "JLT Supplemental Information - Revenue Analysis" furnished to the SEC on June 6, 2019 on Form 8-K, and includes the revenue from JLT's aerospace business.
