ITEM 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition

On August 9, 2017 , Crawford & Company (the "Company") issued a press release containing information about the Company's financial results for the second quarter 2017 . A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure

The Company has made available on the Company's website at www.crawfordandcompany.com a presentation designed to enhance the information presented at its quarterly earnings conference call on Wednesday, August 9, 2017 at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. A copy of the presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Subsequent to March 31, 2017 the Company realigned operating segment manager responsibilities. As a result of the departure of the Company's then Chief Operating Officer in the second quarter of 2017, the realignment of operating segment manager responsibilities was adjusted from those originally expected. Responsibilities for certain class action operations within Canada (which have been managed and reported within the International segment) have been transferred to the Garden City Group segment and responsibilities for certain operations in the Caribbean (which have been managed and reported within the Europe and Rest of World service line of the International segment) have been transferred to the U.S. Services segment. Previously reported amounts have been reclassified to reflect these changes. These changes did not have any impact on previously reported consolidated financial results. The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, included the revision of prior period results to conform to the current presentation of the Company's reportable segments. Attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by this reference are the historical results of operations for each quarter of 2016 revised to conform to the current presentation of the Company's reportable segments.
