Earnings Per Share [Abstract] |
Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Crawford & Company per Common Share | 7. Net Income Attributable to Shareholders of Crawford & Company per Common Share The Company computes earnings per share of its non-voting Class A Common Stock ("CRD-A") and voting Class B Common Stock ("CRD-B") using the two-class method, which allocates the undistributed earnings in 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 the CRD-A shares than on the CRD-B shares, 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 2024 and 2023, the Board of Directors has declared the same dividend on CRD-A and CRD-B. The computations of basic net income attributable to shareholders of Crawford & Company per common share were as follows:
