Insights
Marsh McLennan's report showing a 9% increase in GAAP and underlying revenue signifies robust organic growth, which is commendable given the competitive nature of the professional services industry. The 14% rise in both GAAP EPS and Adjusted EPS is a strong indicator of profitability and management's effectiveness in cost control and operational efficiency.

Investors should be aware that the terms of the new issuance, such as interest rate and maturity, relative to the notes repaid, can affect future interest expenses and cash flows. However, maintaining a steady state of net debt indicates a balanced approach to leveraging and refinancing, mitigating risks associated with high leverage ratios.
Marsh McLennan's acquisitions, including SeaTec Consulting and middle-market agencies in Louisiana, highlight a strategic move to strengthen its core businesses in consulting and insurance services. The acquisition of Vanguard's OCIO business by Mercer could particularly be a game-changer, propelling its wealth management services.
From an M&A perspective, such acquisitions can lead to synergies, economies of scale and improved market share. Investors should monitor how these integrations progress, as the realization of expected synergies can significantly impact projected earnings and cash flows.
For those holding or considering Marsh McLennan's stock, these acquisitions suggest a forward-thinking management team focused on growth through strategic market consolidation. However, the success of such moves will ultimately depend on execution and the integration of newly acquired firms into Marsh McLennan's existing operations.

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could materially affect our future results include, among other things:
-
the impact of geopolitical or macroeconomic conditions on us, our clients and the countries and industries in which we operate, including from multiple major wars, escalating conflict throughout the
Middle East and rising tension in the South China Sea, slower GDP growth or recession, lower interest rates, capital markets volatility and inflation; - the increasing prevalence of ransomware, supply chain and other forms of cyber attacks, and their potential to disrupt our operations, or the operations of our third party vendors, and result in the disclosure of confidential client or company information;
- the impact from lawsuits or investigations arising from errors and omissions, breaches of fiduciary duty or other claims against us in our capacity as a broker or investment advisor, including claims related to our investment business’ ability to execute timely trades;
-
the financial and operational impact of complying with laws and regulations, including domestic and international sanctions regimes, anti-corruption laws such as the
U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,U.K. Anti Bribery Act and cybersecurity, data privacy and artificial intelligence regulations; - our ability to attract, retain and develop industry leading talent;
- our ability to compete effectively and adapt to competitive pressures in each of our businesses, including from disintermediation as well as technological change, digital disruption and other types of innovation such as artificial intelligence;
- our ability to manage potential conflicts of interest, including where our services to a client conflict, or are perceived to conflict, with the interests of another client or our own interests;
- the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, such as the implementation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development international tax framework, or the increasing number of disagreements with and challenges by tax authorities in the current global tax environment; and
- the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise based on insurance placement activities and insurer revenue streams.
The factors identified above are not exhaustive. Marsh McLennan and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks emerge frequently. Accordingly, we caution readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us and speak only as of the dates on which they are made.

Supplemental Information - Revenue Analysis
Three Months Ended March 31
(Millions) (Unaudited)
The Company advises clients in over 130 countries. As a result, foreign exchange rate movements may impact period over period comparisons of revenue. Similarly, certain other items such as acquisitions and dispositions, including transfers among businesses, may impact period over period comparisons of revenue. Non-GAAP underlying revenue measures the change in revenue from one period to the next by isolating these impacts.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
Three Months Ended March 31
(Millions) (Unaudited)
Overview
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
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 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 its 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 (loss). The following tables identify these noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss), on a consolidated and reportable segment basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income and identified intangible asset amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted revenue. The Company's adjusted revenue used in the determination of adjusted operating margin is calculated by excluding the impact of certain noteworthy items from the Company's GAAP revenue.
