Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Common Stock and Earnings per Share | 9. Common Stock and Earnings per Share Shares of the Company's two classes of common stock are traded on the NYSE under the symbols CRD-A and CRD-B, respectively. The Company's two classes of stock are substantially identical, except with respect to voting rights and the Company's ability to pay greater cash dividends on the non-voting Class A Common Stock than on the voting Class B Common Stock, subject to certain limitations. In addition, with respect to mergers or similar transactions, holders of Class A Common Stock must receive the same type and amount of consideration as holders of Class B Common Stock, unless different consideration is approved by the holders of 75% of the Class A Common Stock, voting as a class. As described in Note 11, "Stock-Based Compensation," certain share s of CRD-A are issued with restrictions under incentive compensation plans. Effective May 9, 2019, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of CRD-A or CRD-B (or a combination of the two) through December 31, 2020 (the "2019 Repurchase Authorization"). On December 10, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors extended the termination date of the Company’s 2019 share repurchase authorization to December 31, 2021. Under the 2019 Repurchase Authorization, repurchases may be made for cash, in the open market or privately negotiated transactions at such times and for such prices as management deems appropriate, subject to applicable contractual and regulatory restrictions. In 2021 the Company had repurchased 530,598 shares of CRD-A and 111,499 shares of CRD-B at an average cost of $9.63 and $8.68, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the Company had no remaining authorized share repurchases under the 2019 Repurchase Authorization. Effective November 4, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of CRD-A or CRD-B (or a combination of the two) through December 31, 2023 (the “2021 Repurchase Authorization”). Through December 31, 2021, the Company had repurchased no shares of CRD-A and 1,586,683 shares of CRD-B at an average cost of $8.23 under the 2021 Repurchase Authorization. At December 31, 2021, the Company had remaining authorization to repurchase 413,317 shares under the 2021 Repurchase Authorization. Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Crawford & Company per Common Share The Company computes earnings per share of CRD-A and CRD-B using the two-class method, which allocates the undistributed earnings for each period to each class on a proportionate basis. The Company's Board of Directors has the right, but not the obligation, to declare higher dividends on CRD-A than on CRD-B, subject to certain limitations. In periods when the dividend is the same for CRD-A and CRD-B or when no dividends are declared or paid to either class, the two-class method generally will yield the same earnings per share for CRD-A and CRD-B. During 2021, the Board of Directors declared an equal dividend on CRD-A and CRD-B, while during 2020 and 2019, the Board of Directors declared a higher dividend on CRD-A than on CRD-B. The computations of basic net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company per common share were as follows:
