the Middle East and rising tension in the South China Sea, slower
GDP growth or recession, lower interest rates, capital markets
volatility, inflation and changes in insurance premium rates;
- 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 increasing prevalence of ransomware, supply chain and other

- our ability to manage potential conflicts of interest,

to conflict, with the interests of another client or our own

- 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 challenges from tax authorities in the
current global tax environment;
- the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise
based on insurance placement activities and insurer revenue
streams; and
- our ability to successfully integrate or achieve the intended
benefits of the acquisition of McGriff.

Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.
Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures Three Months Ended
September 30 (Millions) (Unaudited)
Overview
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(referred to in this release as in accordance with "GAAP" or
"reported" results). The Company also refers to and presents
certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning
of Regulation G and item 10(e) Regulation S-K in accordance with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: non-GAAP
revenue, adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating
margin, adjusted income, net of tax and adjusted earnings per share
(EPS). The Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated in accordance with GAAP in the following
tables.
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 and nine months ended September 30,
2024 and 2023. The following tables also present adjusted operating
margin. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 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.

by the average number of shares outstanding-diluted for the
relevant period. The following tables reconcile adjusted income,
net of tax to GAAP income from continuing operations and adjusted
EPS to GAAP EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30,

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures Three Months Ended
September 30 (Millions) (Unaudited)
Non-GAAP revenue isolates the impact of foreign exchange rate
movements and certain transaction-related items from the current
period GAAP revenue. The non-GAAP revenue measure is presented on a
constant currency basis, excluding the impact of foreign currency
fluctuations. The Company isolates the impact of foreign exchange
rate movements period over period, by translating the current
period foreign currency GAAP revenue into U.S. Dollars based on the
difference in the current and corresponding prior period exchange
rates. Similarly, certain other items such as acquisitions and
dispositions, including transfers among businesses, may impact
period over period comparisons of revenue and are consistently
excluded from current and prior period GAAP revenues for
comparability purposes. Percentage changes, referred to as non-GAAP
underlying revenue, are calculated by dividing the period over
period change in non-GAAP revenue by the prior period non-GAAP
revenue.
The following table provides the reconciliation of GAAP revenue
to non-GAAP revenue:
