INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements," as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which express management's current views concerning future events or results, use words like "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "plan," "project" and similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and "would".
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 conflicts such as the war in Ukraine, slower GDP growth or recession, capital markets volatility, instability in the banking sector 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 and data privacy 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;
•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 disagreements with tax authorities; 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. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances arising after the date on which it is made.
Further information concerning Marsh McLennan and its businesses, including information about factors that could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition, is contained in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the "Risk Factors" section and the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

MARSH & McLENNAN COMPANIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations
Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc., and its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Company"), a global professional services firm, is organized based on the different services that it offers. Under this structure, the Company’s two business segments are Risk and Insurance Services and Consulting.
The Risk and Insurance Services segment ("RIS") includes risk management activities (risk advice, risk transfer, and risk control and mitigation solutions) as well as insurance and reinsurance broking and services for businesses, public entities, insurance companies, associations, professional services organizations, and private clients. The Company conducts business in this segment through Marsh and Guy Carpenter. Marsh provides data-driven risk advisory services and insurance solutions to commercial and consumer clients. Guy Carpenter develops advanced risk, reinsurance and capital strategies that help clients grow profitably and identify and capitalize on emerging opportunities.
The Consulting segment includes health, wealth and career solutions and products, and specialized management, strategic, economic and brand consulting services. The Company conducts business in this segment through Mercer and Oliver Wyman Group. Mercer delivers advice and technology-driven solutions that help organizations redefine the future of work, shape retirement and investment outcomes, and advance health and well-being for a changing workforce. Oliver Wyman Group serves as critical strategic, economic and brand advisor to private sector and governmental clients.
2. Principles of Consolidation and Other Matters
The Company prepared the consolidated financial statements included herein pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. For interim filings, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S.) have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the information and disclosures presented are adequate to make such information and disclosures not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K").
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include all wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.
The financial information contained herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.
Estimates: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period.
On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, judgments and methodologies. The estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.
Such matters include:
•estimates of revenue;
•impairment assessments and charges;
•recoverability of long-lived assets;
•liabilities for errors and omissions;
•deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions and income tax expense;
•share-based and incentive compensation expense;
•the allowance for current expected credit losses on receivables;
•useful lives assigned to long-lived assets, and depreciation and amortization; and
•fair value estimates of contingent consideration receivable or payable related to acquisitions or dispositions.
10

The Company believes these estimates are reasonable based on information currently available at the time they are made. The Company also considered the potential impact of macroeconomic factors including inflation, volatility in interest rates, and the war in Ukraine to its customer base in various industries and geographies. Insurance exposures subject to variable factors are subject to mid-term and end-of-term adjustments, as well as policy audits, which may reduce premiums and corresponding commissions. Estimates were updated based on internal and industry specific economic data. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of certificates of deposit and time deposits, with original maturities of three months or less, and money market funds. The estimated fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value. The Company is required to maintain operating funds primarily related to regulatory requirements outside of the U.S. or as collateral under captive insurance arrangements. At March 31, 2023, the Company maintained $401 million compared to $348 million at December 31, 2022 related to these regulatory requirements.
Allowance for Credit Losses on Accounts Receivable
The Company’s policy for providing an allowance for credit losses on its accounts receivable is based on a combination of factors, including historical write-offs, aging of balances, and other qualitative and quantitative analyses. The charge related to expected credit losses was not material to the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Investments
The caption "Investment income" in the consolidated statements of income comprises realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments recognized in earnings. It includes, when applicable, other than temporary declines in the value of securities, mark-to-market increases or decreases in equity investments with readily determinable fair values and equity method gains or losses on the Company's investments in private equity funds.
The Company holds investments in certain private equity funds. Investments in private equity funds are accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting using a consistently applied three-month lag period adjusted for any known significant changes from the lag period to the reporting date of the Company. The underlying private equity funds follow investment company accounting, where investments within the fund are carried at fair value. Investment gains or losses for its proportionate share of the change in fair value of the funds are recorded in earnings. Investments accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company recorded net investment income of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to investment income of $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Income Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 24.7%, compared with 23.7% for the corresponding quarter of 2022.
The tax rates in both periods reflect the impact of discrete tax items such as excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, enacted tax legislation, changes in uncertain tax positions, deferred tax adjustments, nontaxable adjustments related to contingent consideration for acquisitions, and valuation allowances for certain tax credits and/or losses. The rate in the first quarter of 2023 reflects the previously enacted change in the U.K. corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25%, effective April 1, 2023. The blended U.K. statutory tax rate for 2023 is 23.5%.
The excess tax benefit related to share-based payments is the most significant discrete item in both periods, reducing the effective tax rate by 1.3% and 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company's tax rate reflects its income, statutory tax rates, and tax planning in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. Significant judgment is required in determining the annual effective tax rate and in evaluating uncertain tax positions.
Losses in one jurisdiction, generally, cannot offset earnings in another, and within certain jurisdictions profits and losses may not offset between entities. Consequently, losses in certain jurisdictions may require valuation allowances affecting the effective tax rate, depending on estimates of the realizability of associated deferred tax assets. The tax rate is also sensitive to changes in unrecognized tax benefits, including the impact of settled tax audits and expired statutes of limitations.
11

The Company reports a liability for unrecognized tax benefits resulting from uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns. The Company's gross unrecognized tax benefits were $107 million at March 31, 2023, and $97 million at December 31, 2022. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease up to approximately $53 million within the next twelve months due to settlement of audits and expirations of statutes of limitations.
Changes in tax laws, rulings, policies, or related legal and regulatory interpretations occur frequently and may have significant favorable or adverse impacts on our effective tax rate.
On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was enacted into law. The Company evaluated the provisions of the new legislation, the most significant of which are the corporate alternative minimum tax and the share repurchase tax. The IRA was effective as of January 1, 2023 and does not have a significant impact on the Company's financial results of operations for the current year.
Restructuring Costs
Charges associated with restructuring activities are recognized in accordance with applicable accounting guidance which includes accounting for disposal or exit activities, guidance related to impairment of ROU assets related to real estate leases, as well as other costs resulting from accelerated depreciation or amortization of leasehold improvements and other property and equipment.
Severance and related costs are recognized based on amounts due under established severance plans or estimates of one-time benefits that will be provided. Typically, severance benefits are recognized when the impacted colleagues are notified of their expected termination and such termination is expected to occur within the legally required notification period. These costs are included in compensation and benefits in the consolidated statements of income.
Costs for real estate consolidation are recognized based on the type of cost, and the expected future use of the facility. For locations where the Company does not expect to sub-lease the property, the amortization of any Right-of-use ("ROU") asset is accelerated from the decision date to the cease use date. For locations where the Company expects to sub-lease the properties subsequent to its vacating the property, the ROU asset is reviewed for potential impairment at the earlier of the cease use date or the date a sub-lease is signed. To determine the amount of impairment, the fair value of the ROU asset is determined based on the present value of the estimated net cash flows related to the property. Contractual costs outside of the ROU asset are recognized based on the net present value of expected future cash outflows for which the Company will not receive any benefit. Such amounts are reliant on estimates of future sub-lease income to be received and future contractual costs to be incurred. These costs are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Other costs related to restructuring, such as moving, legal or consulting costs are recognized as incurred. These costs are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of income.
Foreign Currency
The financial statements of our international subsidiaries are translated from functional currency to U.S. dollars using month-end exchange rates for assets and liabilities, and average monthly exchange rates during the period for revenues and expenses. Translation adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") within the consolidated statements of equity. Foreign exchange transaction gains and losses resulting from the conversion of the transaction currency to functional currency are included in operating income in the consolidated statements of income.
3. Revenue
The core principle of the revenue recognition guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
To achieve this principle, the entity applies the following steps: identify the contract(s) with the customer, identify the performance obligations in the contract(s), determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract, and recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. In accordance with the accounting guidance, a performance obligation is satisfied either at a "point in time" or "over time", depending on the nature of the product or service provided, and the specific terms of the contract with customers.
Other revenue included in the consolidated statements of income that is not from contracts with customers is less than 2% of total revenue and is not presented as a separate line item.

The Company's revenue policies are provided in more detail in Note 2, Revenue, in the Form 2022 10-K.

The following table provides contract assets and contract liabilities information from contracts with customers:

(In millions) |  | March 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
Contract assets |  | $ | 366 |  |  | $ | 335 |
Contract liabilities |  | $ | 906 |  |  | $ | 837 |

The Company records accounts receivable when the right to consideration is unconditional, subject only to the passage of time. Contract assets primarily relate to quota share reinsurance brokerage and contingent insurer revenue. The Company does not have the right to bill and collect revenue for quota share brokerage until the underlying policies written by the ceding insurer attach to the treaty. Estimated revenue related to the achievement of volume or loss ratio metrics cannot be billed or collected until all related policy placements are completed and the contingency is resolved.
Contract assets are included in other current assets in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Contract liabilities primarily relate to the advance consideration received from customers. Contract liabilities are included in current liabilities in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 that was included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of each of those periods was $293 million and $280 million, respectively.
The amount of revenue recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 from performance obligations satisfied in previous periods, mainly due to variable consideration from contracts with insurers, quota share business and consulting contracts previously considered constrained was $17 million and $24 million, respectively.
13

The Company applies the practical expedient and does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (1) contracts with original contract terms of one year or less and (2) contracts where the Company has the right to invoice for services performed. The revenue expected to be recognized in future periods during the non-cancellable term of existing contracts greater than one year that is related to performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially satisfied at the end of the reporting period is approximately $236 million, primarily related to Mercer. The Company expects revenue in 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027 and beyond of $96 million, $65 million, $42 million, $21 million and $12 million, respectively, related to these performance obligations.
4. Fiduciary Assets and Liabilities
The Company, in its capacity as an insurance broker or agent, generally collects premiums from insureds and after deducting its commissions, remits the premiums to the respective insurance underwriters. The Company also collects claims or refunds from underwriters on behalf of insureds. Unremitted insurance premiums and claims proceeds are held by the Company in a fiduciary capacity. The Company's fiduciary assets primarily include bank or short-term time deposits and liquid money market funds, classified as cash and cash equivalents. Risk and Insurance Services revenue includes interest on fiduciary funds of $91 million and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Since cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity are not available for corporate use, they are shown in the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to fiduciary liabilities.
Net uncollected premiums and claims and the related payables were $13.4 billion at March 31, 2023, and $13.0 billion at December 31, 2022. The Company is not a principal to the contracts under which the right to receive premiums or the right to receive reimbursement of insured losses arises. Accordingly, net uncollected premiums and claims and the related payables are not assets and liabilities of the Company and are not included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In certain instances, the Company advances premiums, refunds or claims to insurance underwriters or insureds prior to collection. These advances are made from corporate funds and are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as receivables.
The Company, through its Mercer subsidiary, manages assets in trusts or funds for which Mercer’s management or trustee fee is not considered a variable interest, since the fees are commensurate with the level of effort required to provide those services. Mercer is not the primary beneficiary of these trusts or funds. Mercer’s maximum exposure to loss of its interests is, therefore, limited to collection of its fees.
5. Per Share Data
Basic net income per share attributable to the Company is calculated by dividing the after-tax income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock.
Diluted net income per share attributable to the Company is calculated by dividing the after-tax income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, which have been adjusted for the dilutive effect of potentially issuable common shares.

8. Acquisitions and Dispositions
The Company’s acquisitions have been accounted for as business combinations. Net assets and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements commencing at the respective purchase closing dates. In connection with acquisitions, the Company records the estimated values of the net tangible assets and the identifiable intangible assets purchased, which typically consist of customer relationships, developed technology, trademarks and non-compete agreements. The valuation of purchased intangible assets involves significant estimates and assumptions. The Company estimates the fair value of purchased intangible assets, primarily using the income approach, by determining the present value of future cash flows over the remaining economic life of the respective assets. The significant estimates and assumptions used in this approach include the determination of the discount rate, economic life, future revenue growth rates, expected account attrition rates and earnings margins. Refinement and completion of final valuation of net assets acquired could affect the carrying value of tangible assets, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
The Risk and Insurance Services segment completed no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
The Consulting segment completed one acquisition for the three months ended March 31, 2023:
•March – Mercer acquired Leapgen LLC, a Minnesota-based human resources consulting technology advisory firm focused on digital strategy and transformation, workforce solutions, and improving employee experience.
Total purchase consideration for acquisitions made during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $15 million, which consisted of cash paid of $11 million and deferred purchase and estimated contingent consideration of $4 million. Contingent consideration arrangements are generally based on earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") or revenue targets over a period of two to four years. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company also paid $12 million of deferred purchase consideration and $1 million of contingent consideration related to acquisitions made in prior years. Estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment until purchase accounting is finalized.
The following table presents the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in 2023, based on the estimated fair values for the acquisitions as of their respective acquisition dates:

Acquisitions through March 31, 2023 |  |  |
(In millions) |  |  |
Cash | $ | 11 |  |  |
Estimated fair value of deferred/contingent consideration | 4 |  |  |
Total consideration | $ | 15 |  |  |
Allocation of purchase price: |  |  |
Net receivables | $ | 2 |  |  |
Goodwill | 11 |  |  |
Other intangible assets | 4 |  |  |
Total assets acquired | 17 |  |  |
Current liabilities | 2 |  |  |
Total liabilities assumed | 2 |  |  |
Net assets acquired | $ | 15 |  |  |

The purchase price allocation for assets acquired and liabilities assumed is based on estimates that are preliminary in nature and subject to adjustments, which could be material. Any necessary adjustments must be finalized during the measurement period, which for a particular asset, liability, or non-controlling interest ends once the acquirer determines that either (1) the necessary information has been obtained or (2) the information is not available. However, the measurement period for all items is limited to one year from the acquisition date.
Items subject to change include:
•amounts of intangible assets, fixed assets, capitalized software assets and right-of-use assets, subject to finalization of valuation efforts;
•amounts for contingencies, pending the finalization of the Company’s assessment of the portfolio of contingencies;
17

•amounts for deferred tax assets and liabilities, pending the finalization of valuations of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and associated goodwill discussed below; and
•amounts for income tax assets, receivables and liabilities, pending the filing of the acquired companies' pre-acquisition income tax returns and receipt of information from taxing authorities which may change certain estimates and assumptions used.
The estimation of fair value requires numerous judgments, assumptions and estimates about future events and uncertainties, which could materially impact these values, and the related amortization, where applicable, in the Company’s results of operations.
The following table provides information about other intangible assets acquired in 2023:

Other intangible assets through March 31, 2023 (In millions) |  | Amount |  | Weighted Average Amortization Period
Client relationships |  | $ | 4 |  |  | 5.0 years

Transactions with Westpac Banking Corporation
On April 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Westpac Banking Corporation’s ("Westpac") financial advisory business, Advance Asset Management, and the transfer from Westpac of BT Financial Group's personal and corporate pension funds to the Mercer Super Trust managed by Mercer Australia (referred to collectively, as the "Transaction"). In consideration for the Transaction, on March 30, 2023, the Company transferred $252 million to a Westpac separate trust account in advance of the completion of the Transaction. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred approximately $17 million of integration expenses, primarily for technology, consulting, legal and people related costs.

In January 2023, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of a small individual financial advisory business in Canada which is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. As a result, the Company recorded a loss of $19 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily related to the write-down of the customer relationship intangible assets. The loss is included in revenue in the consolidated statements of income.
In connection with the disposition of the Mercer U.S. affinity business in 2022, the Company transferred to the buyer an additional $20 million of cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity in the first quarter of 2023.

The Risk and Insurance Services segment completed sixteen acquisitions in 2022:
•January – MMA acquired Heil & Kay Insurance Agency Inc., an Illinois-based full-service broker providing business insurance, employee health benefits services and personal lines insurance.

Marsh acquired BHM Consultores S.A., d/b/a Grupo Mesos, a leading auto affinity insurance broker specialist in Chile that has extensive distribution partnerships with car dealerships, original equipment manufacturers and auto finance companies.
The Consulting segment completed four acquisitions in 2022:
•February – Oliver Wyman acquired Azure Consulting, an Australia-based management consulting firm with expertise in strategy development, organizational design and operations in the industrials, energy and natural resources sectors.
•March – Mercer acquired GeFi Assurances, a France-based brokerage and consulting firm specializing in collective corporate social protection.

•November – Oliver Wyman acquired the Avascent Group Ltd, an aerospace and defense management consulting firm focused on the corporate and private equity sectors based in the U.S., U.K., Canada and France.
Total purchase consideration for acquisitions made for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was approximately $28 million, which consisted of cash paid of $24 million and deferred purchase and estimated contingent consideration of $4 million. Contingent consideration arrangements are based primarily on EBITDA or revenue targets over a period of two to four years. For the first three months of 2022, the Company also paid $12 million of deferred purchase consideration and $4 million of contingent consideration related to acquisitions made in prior years. Estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to adjustment when purchase accounting is finalized.
Prior year dispositions
During the first three months of 2022, Mercer sold its retirement plan administration and call center operations in Brazil for cash proceeds of approximately $4 million.
Deconsolidation of Russia
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company concluded that it did not meet the accounting criteria for control over its wholly-owned Russian subsidiaries due to the evolving trade and economic sanctions against Russia and the related Russian counter sanctions. These sanctions included restrictions on payments to and from Russian companies and reduced currency access through official exchange markets that have significantly impacted the Company's ability to effectively manage and operate its Russian businesses.
As a result, the Company deconsolidated its Russian businesses effective as of the end of the first quarter of 2022, and recorded a loss of $39 million included in revenue in the consolidated statements of income. The loss consisted of the reclassification of cumulative translation losses from AOCI and a charge for the write-off of the Russian businesses' net assets.
In June 2022, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to exit its businesses in Russia and transfer ownership to local management pending regulatory approvals.

9. Goodwill and Other Intangibles
The Company is required to assess goodwill and any indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if circumstances indicate impairment may have occurred. The Company performs the annual impairment assessment for each of its reporting units during the third quarter of each year. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, a company can assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test. Alternatively, the Company may elect to proceed directly to the quantitative goodwill impairment test. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company completed a qualitative impairment assessment and concluded that goodwill was not impaired. As part of its assessment, the Company considered numerous factors, including:
•that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeds its carrying value by a substantial margin based on its most recent quantitative assessment in 2019;
•whether significant acquisitions or dispositions occurred which might alter the fair value of its reporting units;
•macroeconomic conditions and their potential impact on reporting unit fair values;
•actual performance compared with budget and prior projections used in its estimation of reporting unit fair values;
•industry and market conditions; and
•the year-over-year change in the Company’s share price.
Other intangible assets that are not deemed to have an indefinite life are amortized over their estimated lives and assessed for impairment upon the occurrence of certain triggering events in accordance with applicable accounting literature. Based on its assessment, the Company concluded that other intangible assets were not impaired. The Company had no indefinite lived intangible assets at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill are as follows:

(In millions) | 2023 |  | 2022
Balance as of January 1, | $ | 16,251 |  |  | $ | 16,317 |
Goodwill acquired | 11 |  |  | 17 |
Other adjustments (a) | 38 |  |  | (80) |
Balance at March 31, | $ | 16,300 |  |  | $ | 16,254 |

(a) Primarily reflects the impact of foreign exchange.
The goodwill arising from acquisitions in 2023 and 2022 consists largely of the synergies and economies of scale expected from combining the operations of the Company and the acquired entities and the trained and assembled workforce acquired.
The goodwill acquired in 2023 was in the Consulting segment and is deductible for tax purposes. Goodwill allocable to the Company’s reportable segments at March 31, 2023, is $12.5 billion for Risk and Insurance Services and $3.8 billion for Consulting.

10. Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities that are valued at fair value on a recurring basis into a three-level fair value hierarchy as defined by the FASB. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy, for disclosure purposes, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value are categorized based on the inputs in the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market (examples include active exchange-traded equity securities and exchange-traded money market mutual funds).
Assets and liabilities measured using Level 1 inputs include exchange-traded equity securities, exchange-traded mutual funds and money market funds.
Level 2. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on the following:
a)quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;
b)quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets (examples include corporate and municipal bonds, which trade infrequently);
c)pricing models whose inputs are observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability (examples include most over-the-counter derivatives, including interest rate and currency swaps); and
d)pricing models whose inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data through correlation or other means for substantially the full asset or liability (for example, certain mortgage loans).
Assets and liabilities using Level 2 inputs are related to an equity security.
21

Level 3. Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices, or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. These inputs reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in pricing the asset or liability.
Assets and liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs relate to assets and liabilities for contingent purchase consideration.
Valuation Techniques
Equity Securities, Money Market Funds and Mutual Funds – Level 1
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are valued at the sale price on their principal exchange or, for certain markets, official closing bid price. Money market funds are valued at a readily determinable price.
Contingent Purchase Consideration Assets and Liabilities – Level 3
Purchase consideration for some acquisitions and dispositions made by the Company include contingent consideration arrangements. Contingent consideration arrangements are based primarily on EBITDA or revenue targets over a period of two to four years. The fair value of the contingent purchase consideration asset and liability is estimated as the present value of future cash flows to be paid, based on projections of revenue and earnings and related targets of the acquired and disposed entities.
The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

11. Derivatives
Net Investment Hedge
The Company has investments in various subsidiaries with Euro functional currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations between the Euro and U.S. dollar exchange rates. The Company designated its €1.1 billion senior note debt instruments ("Euro notes") as a net investment hedge (the "hedge") of its Euro denominated subsidiaries. The hedge effectiveness is re-assessed each quarter to confirm that the designated equity balance at the beginning of each period continues to equal or exceed 80% of the outstanding balance of the Euro debt instrument and that all the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged net investment continue to match. If the hedge is highly effective, the change in the debt balance related to foreign exchange fluctuations is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets.
The U.S. dollar value of the Euro notes increased by $25 million through March 31, 2023, related to the change in foreign exchange rates. The Company concluded that the hedge was highly effective and recorded a loss as an increase to accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
12. Leases
The Company leases office facilities under non-cancelable operating leases with terms generally ranging between 10 and 25 years. The Company utilizes these leased office facilities for use by its employees in countries in which the Company conducts its business. The Company’s leases have no restrictions on the payment of dividends, the acquisition of debt or additional lease obligations, or entering into additional lease obligations. The leases also do not contain significant purchase options.
Operating leases are recognized on the consolidated balance sheets as ROU assets and operating lease liabilities based on the present value of the remaining future minimum payments over the lease term at commencement date of the lease.
The Company determined that $8 million and $1 million of its ROU assets were impaired and recorded a charge to the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, with an offsetting reduction to ROU assets.
The following table provides additional information about the Company’s property leases:

13. Retirement Benefits
The Company maintains qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for its U.S. and non-U.S. eligible employees. The Company’s policy for funding its tax-qualified defined benefit retirement plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to meet the funding requirements set forth by U.S. law and the laws of the non-U.S. jurisdictions in which the Company offers defined benefit plans.
The weighted average actuarial assumptions utilized to calculate the net periodic benefit costs for the U.S. and significant non-U.S. defined benefit plans are as follows:

Combined U.S. and significant non-U.S. Plans | Pension Benefits |  |
March 31, | 2023 |  | 2022 |  |  |  |
Weighted average assumptions: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Expected return on plan assets | 5.31 | % |  | 4.56 | % |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 5.16 | % |  | 2.28 | % |  |  |  |
Rate of compensation increase | 3.16 | % |  | 2.16 | % |  |  |  |

The target asset allocation for the U.S. plans is 50% equities and equity alternatives and 50% fixed income. At March 31, 2023, the actual allocation for the U.S. plans was 50% equities and equity alternatives and 50% fixed income. The target allocation for the U.K. plans at March 31, 2023 is 14% equities and equity alternatives and 86% fixed income. At March 31, 2023, the actual allocation for the U.K. plans was 15% equities and equity alternatives and 85% fixed income. The Company's U.K. plans comprised approximately 79% of non-U.S. plan assets at December 31, 2022. The assets of the Company's defined benefit plans are diversified and are managed in accordance with applicable laws and with the goal of maximizing the plans' real return within acceptable risk parameters. The Company generally uses threshold-based portfolio re-balancing to ensure the actual portfolio remains consistent with target asset allocation ranges.
The net benefit cost or credit of the Company's defined benefit plans is measured on an actuarial basis using various methods and assumptions. The components of the net benefit credit for defined benefit plans are as follows:

Fair Value of Short-term and Long-term Debt
The estimated fair value of the Company's short-term and long-term debt is provided below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts. The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or need to dispose of the financial instrument.

| March 31, 2023 |  | December 31, 2022
(In millions) | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value
Short-term debt | $ | 2,111 |  |  | $ | 2,102 |  |  | $ | 268 |  |  | $ | 265 |
Long-term debt | $ | 10,841 |  |  | $ | 10,321 |  |  | $ | 11,227 |  |  | $ | 10,544 |

The fair value of the Company's short-term debt consists of commercial paper, borrowings under the uncommitted credit facility, and term debt maturing within the next year and its fair value approximates its carrying value. The estimated fair value of a primary portion of the Company's long-term debt is based on discounted future cash flows using current interest rates available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. Short-term and long-term debt would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

17. Claims, Lawsuits and Other Contingencies
Nature of Contingencies
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to a significant number of claims, lawsuits and proceedings in the course of our business. Such claims and lawsuits consist principally of alleged errors and omissions in connection with the performance of professional services, including the placement of insurance, the provision of actuarial services for corporate and public sector clients, the provision of investment advice and investment management services to pension plans, the provision of advice relating to pension buy-out transactions and the provision of consulting services relating to the drafting and interpretation of trust deeds and other documentation governing pension plans. These claims often seek damages, including punitive and treble damages, in amounts that could be significant. In establishing liabilities for errors and omissions claims in accordance with FASB guidance on Contingencies - Loss Contingencies, the Company uses case level reviews by inside and outside counsel, and internal actuarial analysis by Oliver Wyman, a subsidiary of the Company, and other methods to estimate potential losses. A liability is established when a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. The liability is reviewed quarterly and adjusted as developments warrant. In many cases, the Company has not recorded a liability, other than for legal fees to defend the claim, because we are unable, at the present time, to make a determination that a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable. To the extent that expected losses exceed our deductible in any policy year, the Company also records an asset for the amount that we expect to recover under any available third-party insurance programs. The Company has varying levels of third-party insurance coverage, with policy limits and coverage terms varying significantly by policy year.
Our activities are regulated under the laws of the U.S. and its various states, U.K., the E.U. and its member states, and the many other jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company also receives subpoenas in the ordinary course of business, and, from time to time, requests for information in connection with government investigations.
Current Matters
Risk and Insurance Services Segment
•In January 2019, the Company received a notice that the Administrative Council for Economic Defense anti-trust agency in Brazil had commenced an administrative proceeding against a number of insurance brokers, including both Marsh and JLT, and insurers "to investigate an alleged sharing of sensitive commercial and competitive confidential information" in the aviation insurance and reinsurance sector.
•From 2014, Marsh Ltd. was engaged by Greensill Capital (UK) Limited as its insurance broker. Marsh Ltd. placed a number of trade credit insurance policies for Greensill. On March 1, 2021, Greensill filed an action against certain of its trade credit insurers in Australia seeking a mandatory injunction compelling these insurers to renew coverage under expiring policies. Later that day, the Australian court denied Greensill’s application. Since then, a number of Greensill entities have filed for, or been subject to, insolvency proceedings, and several litigations and investigations have been commenced in the U.K., Australia, Germany, Switzerland and the U.S.
At this time, we are unable to predict the likely timing, outcome or ultimate impact of the foregoing matters. Adverse determinations in one or more of these matters could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows in a future period.
Other Contingencies-Guarantees
In connection with its acquisition of U.K.-based Sedgwick Group in 1998, the Company acquired several insurance underwriting businesses that were already in run-off, including River Thames Insurance Company Limited ("River Thames"), which the Company sold in 2001. Sedgwick guaranteed payment of claims on certain policies underwritten through the Institute of London Underwriters (the "ILU") by River Thames. The policies covered by this guarantee are partly reinsured by a related party of River Thames. Payment of claims under the reinsurance agreement is collateralized by funds withheld by River Thames from the reinsurer. To the extent River Thames or the reinsurer is unable to meet its obligations under those policies, a claimant may seek to recover from the Company under the guarantee.
From 1980 to 1983, the Company owned indirectly the English & American Insurance Company ("E&A"), which was a member of the ILU. The ILU required the Company to guarantee a portion of E&A's obligations. After E&A became insolvent in 1993, the ILU agreed to discharge the guarantee in exchange for the Company's agreement to post an evergreen letter of credit that is available to pay claims by policyholders on certain E&A policies issued through the ILU and incepting between July 3, 1980 and October 6, 1983. Certain claims have been paid under the letter of credit and the Company anticipates that additional claimants may seek to recover against the letter of credit.

The pending proceedings described above and other matters not explicitly described in this Note 17 on Claims, Lawsuits and Other Contingencies may expose the Company or its subsidiaries to liability for significant monetary damages, fines, penalties or other forms of relief. Where a loss is both probable and reasonably estimable, the Company establishes liabilities in accordance with FASB guidance on Contingencies - Loss Contingencies.
The Company is not able at this time to provide a reasonable estimate of the range of possible loss attributable to these matters or the impact they may have on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. This is primarily because these matters are still developing and involve complex issues subject to inherent uncertainty. Adverse determinations in one or more of these matters could have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows in a future period.

19. New Accounting Guidance
New Accounting Pronouncement Adopted Effective January 1, 2022:
In October 2021, the FASB issued new guidance for measuring contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. In accordance with the new guidance, contract assets and contract liabilities should be measured in accordance with the guidance for revenue from contracts with customers as opposed to the guidance for business combinations. The guidance must be applied on a prospective basis, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt this new standard effective January 1, 2022. Adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

•Consulting includes health, wealth and career solutions and products, and specialized management, strategic, economic and brand consulting services. The Company conducts business in this segment through Mercer and Oliver Wyman Group.
The results of operations in the Management Discussion & Analysis ("MD&A") includes an overview of the Company's consolidated results for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding quarter in 2022, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes. This section also includes a discussion of the key drivers impacting the Company's financial results of operations both on a consolidated basis and by reportable segments.
We describe the primary sources of revenue and categories of expense for each segment in the discussion of segment financial results. A reconciliation of segment operating income to total operating income is included in Note 18, Segment Information, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1, of this report.
For information and comparability of the Company's results of operations and liquidity and capital resources for the three months ended March 31, 2022, refer to "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
This MD&A contains forward-looking statements as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Refer to "Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements" at the outset of this report.
Non-GAAP measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S.), referred to as in accordance with "GAAP" or "reported" results. The Company also refers to and presents a non-GAAP financial measure in non-GAAP revenue, within the meaning of Regulation G and Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Company has included a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP as part of the consolidated revenue and expense discussion. 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 Company believes this non-GAAP financial measure provides useful supplemental information that enables investors to better compare the Company’s performance across periods. Management also uses this measure internally to assess the operating performance of its businesses and to decide how to allocate resources. However, investors should not consider this non-GAAP measure in isolation from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the Company reports in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP measure includes adjustments that reflect how management views its businesses and may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures presented by other companies.

Consolidated operating income increased $281 million, or 19% to $1.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the $1.4 billion in the prior year, reflecting a 7% increase in revenue and a 2% increase in expenses.
Revenue growth was primarily driven by an increase in the Risk and Insurance Services segment of 10%, reflecting strong renewal growth, increases in exposure, higher insurance and reinsurance rates and investments in talent. Revenue in Consulting increased 1% reflecting significant underlying growth in career and health, modest underlying growth in wealth, and flat underlying growth in Oliver Wyman Group offset by the impact of foreign exchange and net dispositions. The increase in expenses is primarily due to increased headcount. Expenses also reflect higher travel and entertainment costs compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, operating income was also impacted by foreign exchange movements across both segments due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
Diluted earnings per share increased from $2.10 to $2.47, or 18% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year. The increase is primarily the result of higher operating income, offset by lower investment income, and higher interest expense and income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 also include a charge of $52 million for the deconsolidation of the Company's Russian businesses and other related charges in Marsh and Oliver Wyman recorded in the first quarter of 2022.

Consolidated Revenue and Expense
Revenue – Non-GAAP Revenue and Components of Change
The Company conducts business in 130 countries. As a result, foreign exchange rate movements may impact period-to-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 revenue measures the change in revenue from one period to the next by isolating these impacts on an underlying revenue basis. 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 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.
The percentage change for acquisitions, dispositions, and other includes the impact of current and prior year items excluded from the calculation of non-GAAP underlying revenue for comparability purposes. Details on these items are provided in the reconciliation of non-GAAP revenue to GAAP revenue tables.
The following table presents the Company's non-GAAP revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and the related non-GAAP underlying revenue change:

Consolidated Revenue
Consolidated revenue increased $375 million, or 7% to $5.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $5.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Consolidated revenue increased 9% on an underlying basis and 1% from acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of 3% from the impact of foreign currency translation. On an underlying basis, revenue increased 11% and 5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, in the Risk and Insurance Services and Consulting segments, respectively.
Underlying revenue growth in the Risk and Insurance Services and Consulting segments was driven by the continued demand for our advice and services, new business growth, and solid retention including continued benefits from pricing in the marketplace.
Consolidated Operating Expenses
Consolidated operating expenses increased $94 million, or 2% to $4.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $4.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Expenses reflect a 1% increase from acquisitions and a decline of 3% from foreign currency translation. Expenses, excluding the impact from foreign currency translation and acquisitions, increased 6% and 2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023, in the Risk and Insurance Services and Consulting segments, respectively.
The increase in expenses is primarily due to increased headcount and higher travel and entertainment costs compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company initiated activities focused on workforce actions, rationalization of technology and functional services, and reductions in real estate. Based on current estimates, the Company anticipates total charges related to these activities to be between $375 million and $400 million. The Company has incurred $243 million of restructuring costs through March 31, 2023, primarily severance and lease exit charges, of which $24 million were for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The majority of the remaining costs are expected to be incurred in 2023. Related estimated savings are expected to be in the range of $280 million to $310 million by 2024. The Company's plans are still being finalized, which may change the expected timing, estimates of expected costs and related savings, as the Company continues to refine its detailed plans for each business and location.
Risk and Insurance Services
In the Risk and Insurance Services segment, the Company’s subsidiaries and other affiliated entities act as brokers, agents or consultants for insureds, insurance underwriters and other brokers in the areas of risk management, insurance broking, insurance program management, risk consulting, analytical modeling and alternative risk financing services, primarily under the brand of Marsh, and engage in specialized reinsurance broking, strategic advisory services and analytics solutions, primarily under the brand of Guy Carpenter.
The results of operations for the Risk and Insurance Services segment are as follows:

|  |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions, except percentages) |  |  |  |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Revenue |  |  |  |  | $ | 3,906 |  | $ | 3,549
Compensation and benefits |  |  |  |  | 1,880 |  | 1,801
Other operating expenses |  |  |  |  | 631 |  | 627

Revenue
Revenue in the Risk and Insurance Services segment increased $357 million or 10% to $3.9 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $3.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Revenue increased 11% on an underlying basis and 1% from acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of 3% from the impact of foreign currency translation. Interest earned on fiduciary funds increased by $87 million to $91 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $4 million for the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
The increase in revenue on an underlying basis in the Risk and Insurance Services segment was primarily due to strong growth in new business and solid retention across most markets and geographies, driven by continued
39

benefits from pricing in the marketplace and tighter reinsurance market conditions. The increase in interest earned on fiduciary funds in 2023 is a result of higher interest rates compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
At Marsh, revenue increased $198 million, or 8% to $2.7 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This reflects increases of 9% on an underlying basis and 2% from the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of 3% from the impact of foreign currency translation. On an underlying basis, the U.S. and Canada rose 7%. Total International operations produced underlying revenue growth of 10%, reflecting growth of 11% in Asia Pacific, and 10% in both EMEA and in Latin America.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 also included a charge of approximately $27 million related to the loss on deconsolidation of the Company's Russian businesses.
At Guy Carpenter, revenue increased $72 million, or 7% to $1.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $1.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This reflects an increase of 10% on an underlying basis, partially offset by decreases of 2% from the impact of foreign currency translation and 1% from dispositions.
The Risk and Insurance Services segment completed no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Operating Expenses
Expenses in the Risk and Insurance Services segment increased $83 million, or 3% to $2.5 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $2.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Expenses reflect a 1% increase from the impact of acquisitions, and a decline of 4% from the impact of foreign currency translation.
The increase in expenses excluding the impact from acquisitions and foreign currency translation for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is primarily due to increased headcount and higher incentive compensation. Expenses also reflect higher travel and entertainment costs compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company incurred $32 million of restructuring costs in Risk and Insurance Services, of which $11 million, mostly severance, related to the Company's activities focused on workforce actions, rationalization of technology and functional services, and reductions in real estate. The remaining restructuring costs relate primarily to adjustments to restructuring liabilities for future rent under non-cancellable leases.
Consulting
The Company conducts business in its Consulting segment through Mercer and Oliver Wyman Group. Mercer delivers advice and technology-driven solutions that help organizations redefine the future of work, shape retirement and investment outcomes, and advance health and well-being for a changing workforce. Oliver Wyman Group serves as critical strategic, economic and brand advisor to private sector and governmental clients.
The results of operations for the Consulting segment are as follows:

|  |  | Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions, except percentages) |  |  |  |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Revenue |  |  |  |  | $ | 2,031 |  | $ | 2,010
Compensation and benefits |  |  |  |  | 1,168 |  | 1,164
Other operating expenses |  |  |  |  | 452 |  | 454
Operating expenses |  |  |  |  | 1,620 |  | 1,618
Operating income |  |  |  |  | $ | 411 |  | $ | 392
Operating income margin |  |  |  |  | 20.2 | % |  | 19.5 | %

Revenue
Consulting revenue increased $21 million, or 1% to $2.0 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year. This reflects an increase of 5% on an underlying basis, offset by decreases of 3% from the impact of foreign currency translation and 1% from the disposition of businesses.
Mercer's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $1.3 billion, consistent with the corresponding quarter in the prior year. This reflects an increase of 7% on an underlying basis, offset by decreases of 4% from the
40

impact of foreign currency translation and 3% from the disposition of businesses. On an underlying basis, revenue for both Career and Health increased 12%, while revenue for Wealth increased 2%, as compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
The increase in revenue on an underlying basis at Mercer was primarily due to continued demand for our advice and services. The increase in Career products and services was due to continued demand in rewards, talent strategy, and workforce transformation consulting. Health continued to benefit from growth in new business, higher retention, increased enrolled lives from a strong labor market, and medical inflation. Revenue in Wealth on an underlying basis grew in project-based services for the three months ended March 31, 2023, partially offset by a decrease in investment management fees from the decline in assets under management due to market volatility on investments.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 included a loss of $19 million related to the sale of a small individual financial advisory business in Canada.
Oliver Wyman Group's revenue increased $20 million, or 3% to $687 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $667 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This reflects an increase of 5% from the impact of acquisitions, partially offset by a decrease of 2% related to the impact of foreign currency translation, while underlying revenue growth for the quarter remained flat due to a decrease in overall market demand.
Results for the three months ended March 31, 2022 also included a charge of approximately $12 million related to the loss on the deconsolidation of the Company's Russian businesses.
The Consulting segment completed one acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Information regarding this acquisition is included in Note 8, Acquisitions and Dispositions, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Operating Expenses
Consulting expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $1.6 billion consistent with the corresponding quarter in the prior year. Expenses reflect a 1% increase from the impact of acquisitions and a decline of 3% from the impact of foreign currency translation.
The increase in expenses excluding the impact from acquisitions and foreign currency translation for the three months ended March 31, 2023, is primarily due to increased headcount and higher travel and entertainment costs compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year. The increase in expenses is partially offset by $51 million of insurance recoveries for a legacy JLT E&O matter relating to suitability of advice provided to individuals for defined benefit pension transfers in the U.K.
Corporate and Other
Corporate expenses increased $12 million or 18% to $80 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $68 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Expenses declined 2% from the impact of foreign currency translation.
The increase in expenses, excluding the impact of foreign currency translation, is primarily due to restructuring costs for improving and streamlining the Company's global information technology function.
Interest
Interest expense was $136 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $110 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Interest expense increased $26 million due to new debt issuances in October 2022 and March 2023, and higher interest rates on the Company's short term borrowings in 2023, compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year.
Investment Income
The caption "Investment income" in the consolidated statements of income comprises realized and unrealized gains and losses from investments. It includes, when applicable, other than temporary declines in the value of securities, mark-to-market increases or decreases in equity investments with readily determinable fair values and equity method gains or losses on its investments in private equity funds. The Company's investments may include direct investments in insurance, consulting or other strategically linked companies and investments in private equity funds.
The Company recorded net investment income of $2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to net investment income of $26 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease in 2023 is primarily driven by lower investment income in the Company's private equity investments compared to the corresponding quarter in the prior year. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company also recorded mark-to-market gains of $9 million relating to its investment in Alexander Forbes, which was sold later in the year.
41

Income and Other Taxes
The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was 24.7%, compared with 23.7% for the corresponding quarter of 2022.
The tax rates in both periods reflect the impact of discrete tax items such as excess tax benefits related to share-based compensation, enacted tax legislation, changes in uncertain tax positions, deferred tax adjustments and non-taxable adjustments related to contingent consideration for acquisitions, and valuation allowances for certain tax credits and/or losses. The rate in the first quarter of 2023 reflects the previously enacted change in the U.K. corporate income tax rate from 19% to 25%, effective April 1, 2023. The blended U.K. statutory tax rate for 2023 is 23.5%.
The excess tax benefit related to share-based payments is the most significant discrete item in both periods, reducing the effective tax rate by 1.3% and 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The effective tax rate may vary significantly from period to period. The effective tax rate is sensitive to the geographic mix and repatriation of the Company's earnings, which may result in higher or lower effective tax rates. Therefore, a shift in the mix of profits among jurisdictions, or changes in the Company's repatriation strategy to access offshore cash, can affect the effective tax rate.
In addition, losses in certain jurisdictions cannot be offset by earnings from other operations and may require valuation allowances that affect the rate in a particular period, depending on estimates of the value of associated deferred tax assets which can be realized. A valuation allowance was recorded to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that the Company believes is more likely than not to be realized. The effective tax rate is also sensitive to changes in unrecognized tax benefits, including the impact of settled tax audits and expired statutes of limitations.
The Company has established liabilities for uncertain tax positions in relation to potential assessments in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company believes the resolution of tax matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position of the Company, although a resolution of tax matters could have a material impact on the Company's net income or cash flows and on its effective tax rate in a particular future period. It is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease up to approximately $53 million within the next twelve months due to settlement of audits and expiration of statutes of limitations.
Changes in tax laws, rulings, policies, or related legal and regulatory interpretations occur frequently and may have significant favorable or adverse impacts on our effective tax rate.
As a U.S. domiciled parent holding company, the Company is the issuer of essentially all the Company's external indebtedness, and incurs the related interest expense in the U.S. The Company’s interest expense deductions are not currently limited. Further, most senior executive and oversight functions are conducted in the U.S. and the associated costs are incurred primarily in the U.S. Some of these expenses may not be deductible in the U.S., which may impact the effective tax rate.
Changes to the U.S. tax law in recent years have allowed the Company to repatriate foreign earnings without incurring additional U.S. federal income tax costs as foreign income is generally already taxed in the U.S. However, permanent reinvestment continues to be a component of the Company's global capital strategy. The Company continues to evaluate its global investment and repatriation strategy in light of our capital requirements and potential costs of repatriation, which are generally limited to local country withholding taxes.
In August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ("IRA") was enacted into law. The Company evaluated the provisions of the new legislation, the most significant of which are the corporate alternative minimum tax and the share repurchase tax. The IRA was effective as of January 1, 2023, and does not have a significant impact on the Company's financial results of operations for the current year.
In addition to U.S. tax law changes, the Company's global operations make the tax rate sensitive to significant foreign tax law changes. A number of countries have begun to enact legislation to implement the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development's ("OECD") international tax framework, including the Pillar II minimum tax regime with effect from January 1, 2024 or later. The Company is currently monitoring these developments and is in the process of evaluating the potential impact on its results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company is organized as a legal entity separate and distinct from its operating subsidiaries. As the Company does not have significant operations of its own, the Company is dependent upon dividends and other payments from its operating subsidiaries to pay principal and interest on its outstanding debt obligations, pay dividends to stockholders, repurchase its shares and pay corporate expenses. The Company can also provide financial support to its operating subsidiaries for acquisitions, investments and certain parts of their business that require liquidity, such as the capital markets business of Guy Carpenter. Other sources of liquidity include borrowing facilities discussed in financing cash flows.
The Company derives a significant portion of its revenue and operating profit from operating subsidiaries located outside of the U.S. Funds from those operating subsidiaries are regularly repatriated to the U.S. out of annual earnings. At March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $975 million of cash and cash equivalents in its foreign operations, which includes $379 million of operating funds required to be maintained for regulatory requirements or as collateral under certain captive insurance arrangements. The Company expects to continue its practice of repatriating available funds from its non-U.S. operating subsidiaries out of current annual earnings. Where appropriate, a portion of the current year earnings will continue to be permanently reinvested.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded foreign currency translation adjustments which increased net equity by $77 million. Continued weakening of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would further increase the translated U.S. dollar value of the Company’s net investments in its non-U.S. subsidiaries, as well as the translated U.S. dollar value of cash repatriations from those subsidiaries.
Cash and cash equivalents on our consolidated balance sheets includes funds available for general corporate purposes. Funds held on behalf of clients in a fiduciary capacity are segregated and shown separately in the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to fiduciary liabilities. Fiduciary funds cannot be used for general corporate purposes, and should not be considered as a source of liquidity for the Company.
Operating Cash Flows
The Company used $819 million of cash for operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $702 million used for operations in the first three months of 2022. These amounts reflect the net income of the Company during those periods, excluding gains or losses from investments, adjusted for non-cash charges and changes in working capital which relate primarily to the timing of payments of accrued liabilities, including incentive compensation, or receipts of receivables and pension plan contributions. The Company used cash of $79 million and $39 million related to its restructuring activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Pension Related Items
Contributions
The Company's policy for funding its tax-qualified defined benefit plans is to contribute amounts at least sufficient to meet the funding requirements set forth in accordance with applicable law. During the first the three months of 2023, the Company contributed $8 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $13 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. For the first three months of 2022, the Company contributed $8 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plans and $60 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans.
In the U.S., contributions to the tax-qualified defined benefit plans are based on Employee Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA") guidelines and the Company generally expects to maintain a funded status of 80% or more of the liability determined in accordance with the ERISA guidelines. In the first three months of 2023, the Company made $8 million of contributions to its non-qualified plans and expects to fund approximately an additional $23 million over the remainder of 2023. The Company is not required to make any contributions to its U.S. qualified plans in 2023.
Outside the U.S., the Company has a large number of non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, the largest of which are in the U.K., which comprise approximately 79% of non-U.S. plan assets at December 31, 2022. Contribution rates for non-U.S. plans are generally based on local funding practices and statutory requirements, which may differ significantly from measurements under U.S. GAAP.
In the U.K., the assumptions used to determine pension contributions are the result of legally-prescribed negotiations between the Company and the plans' trustee that typically occur every three years in conjunction with the actuarial valuation of the plans. Currently, this results in a lower funded status compared to U.S. GAAP and may result in contributions irrespective of the U.S. GAAP funded status.
43

In 2021, the JLT Pension Scheme was merged into the MMC U.K. Pension Fund with a new segregated JLT section created. During the first three months of 2023, the Company made deficit contributions of $10 million to its U.K. plans, all in respect of the JLT section, and is expected to make $31 million of contributions in the remainder of 2023.
For the Marsh McLennan U.K. Pension Fund, excluding the JLT section, an agreement was reached with the trustee in the fourth quarter of 2022 based on the surplus funding position at December 31, 2021. In accordance with the agreement, no deficit funding is required until 2026. The funding level will be re-assessed during 2025 as part of the December 31, 2024 actuarial valuation to determine if contributions are required in 2026. As part of a long term strategy which depends on having greater influence over asset allocation and overall investment decisions, in December 2022, the Company renewed its agreement to support annual deficit contributions by the U.K. operating companies under certain circumstances, up to £450 million (or $554 million) over a seven-year period.
The Company expects to fund an additional $63 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit plans over the remainder of 2023, comprising approximately $31 million to the U.K. plans and $32 million to plans outside of the U.K.
Financing Cash Flows
Net cash provided by financing activities was $773 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared with $855 million provided by financing activities for the corresponding quarter in 2022.
Credit Facilities
The Company has a multi-currency unsecured $2.8 billion five-year revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility"), entered into on April 1, 2021. The interest rate on the Credit Facility is based on LIBOR plus a fixed margin which varies with the Company’s credit ratings. The Credit Facility expires in April 2026, and requires the Company to maintain certain coverage and leverage ratios which are tested quarterly. The Credit Facility includes provisions for determining a LIBOR successor rate in the event LIBOR reference rates are no longer available or in certain other circumstances which are determined to make using an alternative rate desirable. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 the Company had no borrowings under this facility.
In connection with the Credit Facility, the Company terminated its previous multi-currency unsecured $1.8 billion five-year and its unsecured $1 billion 364-day revolving credit facilities.
In May 2022, the Company secured a $250 million uncommitted revolving credit facility. The facility expires in May 2023, and has similar coverage and leverage ratios as the Credit Facility. At March 31, 2023, the Company had $250 million borrowings outstanding under this facility with a weighted average interest rate of 5.19% There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2022.
The Company also maintains other credit and overdraft facilities with various financial institutions aggregating $112 million at March 31, 2023. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. The Company also has outstanding guarantees and letters of credit with various banks aggregating $102 million at March 31, 2023.
Debt
The Company has a short-term commercial paper financing program of $2.8 billion. The program was increased from $2.0 billion in October 2022. The Company had $594 million of commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2023, at an average effective interest rate of 5.22%.
In March 2023, the Company issued $600 million of 5.45% senior notes due 2053. The Company used the net proceeds from this issuance for general corporate purposes.
In October 2022, the Company issued $500 million of 5.75% senior notes due 2032 and $500 million of 6.25% senior notes due 2052. The Company used the net proceeds from these issuances for general corporate purposes, and repaid $350 million of 3.30% senior notes in November 2022, with an original maturity date of March 2023.
The Company's senior debt is currently rated A- by Standard & Poor's ("S&P"), Baa1 by Moody's and A- by Fitch. The Company's short-term debt is currently rated A-2 by S&P, P-2 by Moody's and F-2 by Fitch. The Company carries a Positive outlook with Moody's and a Stable outlook with both S&P and Fitch.
Share Repurchases
In the first three months of 2023, the Company repurchased 1.8 million shares of its common stock for $300 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company remained authorized to repurchase up to approximately $4.0 billion in shares of its common stock. There is no time limit on the authorization.
During the first three months of 2022, the Company repurchased 3.2 million shares of its common stock for $500 million.
44

Dividends
The Company paid dividends on its common shares of $296 million ($0.59 per share) during the first three months of 2023, as compared with $272 million ($0.535 per share) in the first three months of 2022.
In March 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.59 per share on outstanding common stock, payable on May 15, 2023, to stockholders of record on April 5, 2023.
Contingent and Deferred Payments Related to Acquisitions
The classification of contingent consideration in the consolidated statements of cash flows is dependent upon whether the receipt, payment, or adjustment was part of the initial liability established on the acquisition date (financing) or an adjustment to the acquisition date liability (operating).
The following amounts are included in the consolidated statements of cash flows as operating and financing activities:

For the Three Months Ended March 31,
(In millions) | 2023 |  | 2022
Operating: |  |  |
Receipt of contingent consideration for dispositions | $ | 1 |  |  | $ | — |
Acquisition/disposition related net charges for adjustments | 7 |  |  | 10 |
Adjustments and payments related to contingent consideration | $ | 8 |  |  | $ | 10 |
Financing: |  |  |
Contingent consideration for prior year acquisitions | $ | (1) |  |  | $ | (4) |
Deferred consideration related to prior year acquisitions | (12) |  |  | (12) |
Payments of deferred and contingent consideration for acquisitions | $ | (13) |  |  | $ | (16) |
Receipt of contingent consideration for dispositions | $ | 2 |  |  | $ | 3 |

For acquisitions completed in the first three months of 2023 and in prior years, remaining estimated future contingent payments of $383 million and deferred consideration payments of $131 million, are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities or other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2023.
Derivatives - Net Investment Hedge
The Company has investments in various subsidiaries with Euro functional currencies. As a result, the Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations between the Euro and U.S. dollar exchange rates. As part of its risk management program, the Company issued €1.1 billion Senior Notes, and designated the debt instruments as a net investment hedge of its Euro denominated subsidiaries. The hedge is re-assessed each quarter to confirm that the designated equity balance at the beginning of each period continues to equal or exceed 80% of the outstanding balance of the Euro debt instrument and that all the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the hedged net investment continue to match. If the hedge is highly effective, the change in the debt balance related to foreign exchange fluctuations is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated balance sheets.
The U.S. dollar value of the Euro notes increased by $25 million through March 31, 2023, related to the change in foreign exchange rates. The Company concluded that the hedge was highly effective and recorded a loss as an increase to accumulated other comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Fiduciary Liabilities
Since cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity are not available for corporate use, they are shown in the consolidated balance sheets as an offset to fiduciary liabilities. Financing cash flows reflect an increase of $48 million and $926 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, related to fiduciary liabilities.

Investing Cash Flows
Net cash used for investing activities amounted to $368 million for the first three months of 2023, compared with $159 million used for investing activities for the corresponding quarter in 2022.
The Company paid $11 million and $24 million, net of cash, cash equivalents and cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity acquired, for acquisitions it made during the first three months of 2023 and 2022, respectively.
On April 1, 2023, the Company completed the acquisition of Westpac Banking Corporation’s ("Westpac") financial advisory business, Advance Asset Management, and the transfer from Westpac of BT Financial Group's personal and corporate pension funds to the Mercer Super Trust managed by Mercer Australia (referred to collectively, as the "Transaction"). In consideration for the Transaction, on March 30, 2023, the Company transferred $252 million to a Westpac separate trust account in advance of the completion of the Transaction. The consideration transferred is included as a cash outflow in acquisitions, net of cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity acquired, in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
In connection with the 2022 disposition of Mercer's U.S. affinity business, the Company transferred to the buyer an additional $20 million of cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity in the first quarter of 2023.
During the first three months of 2022, the Company sold certain businesses in Brazil for cash proceeds of approximately $4 million.
The Company's additions to fixed assets and capitalized software, which amounted to $84 million in the first three months of 2023, and $122 million in the first three months of 2022, primarily related to computer equipment purchases, the refurbishing and modernizing of office facilities, and software development costs.
The Company has commitments for potential future investments of approximately $159 million in private equity funds that invest primarily in financial services companies, including a $100 million commitment to invest in a private equity fund entered into on April 1, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk and Credit Risk
Certain of the Company’s revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and equity markets.
Interest Rate Risk and Credit Risk
Interest income generated from the Company's cash, cash equivalents, and cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity will vary with the general level of interest rates.
The Company had the following investments subject to variable interest rates:

(In millions) | March 31, 2023 | December 31, 2022
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 1,006 |  | $ | 1,442 |
Cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity | $ | 10,834 |  | $ | 10,660 |

Based on the above balances at March 31, 2023, if short-term interest rates increased or decreased by 10%, or 36 basis points, over the course of the year, annual interest income, including interest earned on cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity, would increase or decrease by approximately $32 million. At December 31, 2022, a change in short-term interest rates of 10% or 25 basis points would have increased or decreased interest income by approximately $30 million. The change in interest rate risk at March 31, 2023 is due to higher short-term interest rates compared to the prior year.
Changes in interest rates can also affect the discount rate and assumed rate of return on plan assets, two of the assumptions among several others used to measure net periodic pension expense. The assumptions used to measure plan assets and liabilities are typically assessed at the end of each year, and determine the expense for the subsequent year. Assumptions used to determine net periodic cost for 2023 are discussed in Note 8, Retirement Benefits, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a discussion on pension expense sensitivity to changes in these rates, see the "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Management’s Discussion of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Retirement Benefits" section of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In addition to interest rate risk, our cash investments and fiduciary cash investments are subject to potential loss of value due to counter-party credit risk. To minimize this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries invest pursuant to a Board approved investment policy. The policy mandates the preservation of principal and liquidity and requires broad diversification with counter-party limits assigned based primarily on credit rating and type of investment. The Company carefully monitors its cash, cash equivalents, and cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity, and will further restrict the portfolio as appropriate to market conditions. The majority of cash, cash equivalents, and cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity are invested in short-term bank deposits and liquid money market funds.
Foreign Currency Risk
The translated values of revenue and expense from the Company’s international operations are subject to fluctuations due to changes in currency exchange rates. The non-U.S. based revenue that is exposed to foreign exchange fluctuations is approximately 51% of total revenue. We periodically use forward contracts and options to limit foreign currency exchange rate exposure on net income and cash flows for specific, clearly defined transactions arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company has significant revenue generated in foreign locations which is subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, in most cases both the foreign currency revenue and expense are in the functional currency of the foreign location. As such, under normal circumstances, the U.S. dollar translation of both the revenue and expense, as well as the potentially offsetting movements of various currencies against the U.S. dollar, generally tend to mitigate the impact on net operating income of foreign currency risk.
However, there have been periods where the impact was not mitigated due to external market factors, and external macroeconomic events may result in greater foreign exchange rate fluctuations in the future. If foreign exchange rates of major currencies (Euro, British Pound, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar) moved 10% in the same direction against the U.S. dollar that held constant over the course of the year, the Company estimates that full year net operating income would increase or decrease by approximately $79 million. The Company has exposure to approximately 80 foreign currencies overall. If exchange rates at March 31, 2023, hold constant for the rest of 2023, the Company estimates the year-over-year impact from the conversion of foreign currency earnings will decrease full year net operating income by approximately $37 million.

In Continental Europe, the largest amount of revenue from renewals for the Risk and Insurance Services segment occurs in the first quarter.
Equity Price Risk
The Company holds investments in both public and private companies as well as private equity funds, including investments of approximately $16 million that are valued using readily determinable fair values and approximately $43 million of investments without readily determinable fair values. The Company also has investments of approximately $214 million that are accounted for using the equity method. The investments are subject to risk of decline in market value, which, if determined to be other than temporary for assets without readily determinable fair values, could result in realized impairment losses. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of such investments to determine if any valuation adjustments are appropriate under the applicable accounting pronouncements.
Other
A number of lawsuits and regulatory proceedings are pending. See Note 17, Claims, Lawsuits and Other Contingencies, in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in this report.
