Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Crawford & Company reported third-quarter 2026 revenues before reimbursements of $321.6 million, down slightly from $322.2 million a year earlier, while GAAP net income rose 21% to $15.0 million, or $0.31 per diluted share. CEO Bruce Swain said lower claims frequency and moderating weather-related activity are expected to pressure fourth-quarter results, which matters to shareholders because the company gave no numeric outlook in the filing.

Key points

  • Revenues before reimbursements were $321.6 million versus $322.2 million in the third quarter of 2025.

  • Non-GAAP diluted EPS was $0.37 versus $0.32; management expects fourth-quarter pressure from lower claims frequency and moderating weather activity.
