Exhibit 99.1 Crawford & Company® 5335 Triangle Parkway Peachtree Corners, GA 30092 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CRAWFORD & COMPANY REPORTS 2026 SECOND QUARTER RESULTS Strong Earnings Growth Driven by International Operations and Broadspire Quarterly Dividend Increases to $0.08 per Share
How this was made
The 30-second read
Why it matters
The filing is a primary earnings disclosure with concrete profitability metrics and a capital return action (dividend increase). Segment detail indicates mixed drivers: International and Broadspire improved, while U.S. Property and Casualty declined due to lower weather-related claims and staffing/referral dynamics.
Market read
Traders can update near-term expectations for earnings power and capital return based on the reported EPS growth and the dividend increase, while monitoring weather-claims sensitivity highlighted by management.
What to watch
The release emphasizes weather-related claims volume and FX impacts; traders may need to separate underlying constant-dollar trends from one-off FX and weather variability when modeling H2.
Background
The 8-K includes Exhibit 99.1 with Crawford & Company’s Q2 2026 financial results and segment performance, plus management commentary on strategy and dividend policy.
Ticker impact
Crawford & Company reported 2026 Q2 results, including net income of $13.4M and GAAP diluted EPS of $0.27 for CRD-A, plus a dividend increase to $0.08.
Likely modest positive bias for the next few sessions as dividend and EPS growth are tangible, but weather-claims commentary may cap upside.
The filing discloses specific GAAP and non-GAAP profitability improvements versus the prior year and a board-approved dividend increase, both direct valuation inputs; however, segment revenue declines in U.S. Property and Casualty highlight offsetting pressure.
Market effects
Provides a read-through on insurance services demand sensitivity to weather-related claims volume and the resilience of disability/medical management revenue streams.
International results improved on higher weather-related activity in Australia and Asia, suggesting regional weather patterns are a key driver.
Limited broader macro linkage; primarily company-specific performance across U.S. and international operations.
Counterpoint
Despite EPS growth, U.S. Property and Casualty revenues fell sharply year over year, implying the consolidated strength may be partially offset by weaker domestic demand.
