These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our operations.   All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this document that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate may occur in the future, including those relating to the potential effects of the COVID-19 pandemic (“COVID-19”) on our business, operations, financial performance and prospects, the market performance of our business segments, quarterly interest expense, share repurchases, margin expansion, changes in exposure units, the pipeline of acquisition candidates, future capital expenditures, growth in commissions and fees including Organic Revenue growth, business strategies, competitive strengths, goals, the benefits of new initiatives, plans, and references to future successes are forward-looking statements. Also, when we use words such as ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘estimate’, ‘expect’, ‘intend’, ‘plan’, ‘probably’ or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. There are important uncertainties, events and factors that could cause our actual results or performance to differ materially from those forward-looking statements contained in this document or made during our presentation, including, but not limited to, the following: the scope and duration of COVID-19 (including through any new variant strains of the underlying virus), the effectiveness of and accessibility to vaccines, the pace and rate at which vaccines are administered, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to COVID-19, and the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19 on our customers, insurance carriers, third parties and us. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, COVID-19 and the resulting governmental and societal responses, the severity and duration of COVID-19 (including through any new variant strains of the underlying virus), the effectiveness of and accessibility to vaccines, the pace and rate at which vaccines are administered, actions taken by governmental authorities in response to COVID-19, and the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. economy, the global economy, and the Company’s business, liquidity, customers, insurance carriers and third parties; the effects of inflation; the inability to retain or hire qualified employees, as well as the loss of any of our executive officers or other key employees; acquisition-related risks that could negatively affect the success of our growth strategy, including the possibility that we may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, integrate acquired businesses into our operations and expand into new markets; a cybersecurity attack or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security and/or outsourcing relationships; the requirement for additional resources and time to adequately respond to dynamics resulting from rapid technological change; the loss of or significant change to any of our insurance company relationships, which could result in additional expense, loss of market share or material decrease in our profit-sharing contingent commissions, guaranteed supplemental commissions or incentive commissions; adverse economic conditions, natural disasters, or regulatory changes in states where we have a concentration of our business; the inability to maintain our culture or a change in management, management philosophy or our business strategy; risks facing us in our Services Segment, including our third-party claims administration operations, that are distinct from those we face in our insurance intermediary operations; the limitations of our system of disclosure and internal controls and procedures in preventing errors or fraud, or in informing management of all material information in a timely manner; the significant control certain existing shareholders have over the Company; risks related to our international operations, which may require more time and expense than our domestic operations to achieve or maintain profitability; changes in data privacy and protection laws and regulations or any failure to comply with such laws and regulations; improper disclosure of confidential information; the potential adverse effect of certain actual or potential claims, regulatory actions or proceedings on our businesses, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity; uncertainty in our business practices and compensation arrangements due to potential changes in regulations; regulatory changes that could reduce our profitability or growth by increasing compliance costs, technology compliance, restricting the products or services we may sell, the markets we may enter, the methods by which we may sell our products and services, or the prices we may charge for our services and the form of compensation we may accept from our customers, carriers and third-parties; a decrease in demand for liability insurance as a result of tort reform litigation; our failure to comply with any covenants contained in our debt agreements; the possibility that covenants in our debt agreements could prevent us from engaging in certain potentially beneficial activities; changes in the U.S.-based credit markets that might adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition; risks associated with the current interest rate environment, and to the extent we use debt to finance our investments, changes in interest rates will affect our cost of capital and net investment income; disintermediation within the insurance industry, including increased competition from insurance companies, technology companies and the financial services industry, as well as the shift away from traditional insurance markets; changes in current U.S. or global economic conditions; effects related to pandemics, epidemics, or outbreaks of infectious diseases; conditions that result in reduced insurer capacity; quarterly and annual variations in our commissions that result from the timing of policy renewals and the net effect of new and lost business production; intangible asset risk, including the possibility that our goodwill may become impaired in the future; other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and Securities and Exchange Commission filings; and other factors that the Company may not have currently identified or quantified.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures This presentation contains references to "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in SEC Regulation G, including EBITDAC, EBITDAC Margin, Diluted Net Income Per Share – Adjusted, and Organic Revenue. We present these measures because we believe such information is of interest to the investment community and because we believe it provides additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of the Company’s operating performance from period to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent on a generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) basis. This non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, the Company’s consolidated income statements and balance sheets as of the relevant date. Consistent with Regulation G, a description of such information is provided below and a reconciliation of such items to GAAP information can be found at the end of this presentation, as well as in our periodic filings with the SEC. Our method of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by industry peers and, therefore, comparability may be limited. Revenue & Earnings Measures – We believe these non-GAAP measures, as defined below, provide a meaningful representation of the Company’s operating performance and improve the comparability of results between periods by excluding the impact of certain items that have a high degree of variability and that we believe are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance. Organic Revenue, a non-GAAP measure, is our core commissions and fees less: (i) the core commissions and fees earned for the first 12 months by newly-acquired operations; (ii) divested business (core commissions and fees generated from offices, books of business or niches sold or terminated during the comparable period); and (iii) the period over period impact of foreign currency translation, which is calculated by applying current year foreign exchange rates to the same period in the prior year. The term “core commissions and fees” excludes profit-sharing contingent commissions and guaranteed supplemental commissions, and therefore represents the revenues earned directly from specific insurance policies sold and specific fee-based services rendered. Organic Revenue can be expressed as a dollar amount or a percentage rate when describing Organic Revenue growth. We have historically viewed Organic Revenue and Organic Revenue growth as important indicators when assessing and evaluating our performance on a consolidated basis and for each of our four segments, because it allows us to determine a comparable, but non-GAAP, measurement of revenue growth that is associated with the revenue sources that were a part of our business in both the current and prior year and that are expected to continue in the future. EBITDAC is defined as income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables. EBITDAC Margin is defined as EBITDAC divided by total revenues. Diluted Net Income Per Share – Adjusted is defined as diluted net income per share, excluding (i) the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables, (ii) the net pretax loss on disposal of certain assets of Axiom Re in 2014, (iii) the impact of the change in the effective tax rate in 2017 only, associated with the one-time, non-cash impact of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Reform Act”). Other Non-GAAP Financial Measures – We believe these non-GAAP measures, as defined below, are useful to monitor our leverage and evaluate our balance sheet. Net Debt is defined as Total Debt Outstanding less cash and cash equivalents excluding restricted cash. “Total Debt Outstanding” is defined as current portion of long-term debt plus long-term debt less unamortized discount and debt issuance costs. Total Debt Outstanding to EBITDAC is defined as Total Debt Outstanding divided by EBITDAC. Net Debt Outstanding to EBITDAC is defined as Net Debt outstanding divided by EBITDAC. Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures. Free Cash Flow Conversion is defined as free cash flow divided by total revenues. Free Cash Flow Yield is defined as free cash flow divided by average equity market capitalization.
