Factors that could materially affect our future results include,
among other things:
-- the financial and operational impact of the coronavirus global pandemic
on our revenue and ability to generate new business, our overall level of
profitability and cash flow, and our liquidity, including the timeliness
and collectability of our receivables;
-- the impact of disruption in the credit or financial markets, or changes
to our credit ratings, including as a result of COVID-19, on our ability
to access capital or repay our significant outstanding indebtedness on
favorable terms and our compliance with the covenants contained in the
agreements that govern our indebtedness;
-- the impact from lawsuits, other contingent liabilities and loss
contingencies arising from errors and omissions, breach of fiduciary duty
or other claims against us, including claims related to pandemic
coverage;
-- our ability to manage risks associated with our investment management and
related services business, particularly in the context of volatile equity

disintermediation, digital disruption and other types of innovation;
-- our ability to attract and retain industry leading talent;

cybersecurity attacks or unauthorized dissemination of information caused
by remote work arrangements, including those in the existing JLT
information systems;
-- the impact of investigations, reviews, or other activity by regulatory or
law enforcement authorities;
-- the financial and operational impact of complying with laws and
regulations where we operate and the risks of noncompliance with such
laws, including anti-corruption laws such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt
Practices Act, U.K. Anti-Bribery Act, trade sanctions regimes and
cybersecurity and data privacy regulations such as the E.U.'s General
Data Protection Regulation;
-- the regulatory, contractual and reputational risks that arise based on
insurance placement activities and various insurer revenue streams;
-- our ability to successfully recover if we experience a business
continuity problem due to cyberattack, natural disaster or otherwise; and
-- the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations,
including certain provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or
disagreements with tax authorities.

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

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Actual as Reported
Three Months Ended June 30
(Millions) (Unaudited)
Overview
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(referred to in this release as "GAAP" or "reported" results). The
Company also refers to and presents below certain additional
non-GAAP financial measures, within the meaning of Regulation G
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are:
adjusted operating income (loss), adjusted operating margin,
adjusted income, net of tax and adjusted earnings per share (EPS).
The Company has included reconciliations of these non-GAAP
financial measures to the most directly comparable financial
measure calculated in accordance with GAAP in the following
tables.
The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide
useful supplemental information that enables investors to better
compare the Company's performance across periods. Management also
uses these measures internally to assess the operating performance
of its businesses, to assess performance for employee compensation
purposes and to decide how to allocate resources. However,
investors should not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation
from, or as a substitute for, the financial information that the
Company reports in accordance with GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP
measures include adjustments that reflect how management views our
businesses, and may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP measures
presented by other companies.
Adjusted Operating Income (Loss) and Adjusted Operating
Margin
Adjusted operating income (loss) is calculated by excluding the
impact of certain noteworthy items from the Company's GAAP
operating income or (loss). The following tables identify these
noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted operating income (loss) to
GAAP operating income or loss, on a consolidated and segment basis,
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The
following tables also present adjusted operating margin. In 2019,
the Company changed its methodology for calculating adjusted
operating margin due to the significant amount of identified
intangible asset amortization related to the JLT Transaction, on
April 1, 2019. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and
2019, adjusted operating margin is calculated by dividing the sum
of adjusted operating income plus identified intangible asset
amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted revenue.

Adjusted income, net of tax is calculated as the Company's GAAP
income from continuing operations, adjusted to reflect the after
tax impact of the operating income adjustments set forth in the
preceding tables and investments gains or losses related to the
impact of mark-to-market adjustments on certain equity securities.
Adjustments also include JLT acquisition related items, including
change in fair value of derivative contracts, financing costs and
interest income on funds held in escrow. Adjusted EPS is calculated
by dividing the Company's adjusted income, net of tax, by MMC's
average number of shares outstanding-diluted for the relevant
period. The following tables reconcile adjusted income, net of tax

respectively, and losses of $3 million and gains of $6 million for the six

investment in Alexander Forbes ("AF"). The Company no longer accounts for this
investment under the equity method, and records the change in fair value in
each subsequent period as an investment gain or loss in the consolidated
statement of income. The Company recorded a loss of $23 million in the second
quarter of 2020 primarily related to the recognition of accumulated foreign
currency losses previously recorded as part of equity.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - 2019 Revenue Including
JLT
Six Months Ended June 30, 2019
(Millions) (Unaudited)
On April 1, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced
acquisition of Jardine Lloyd Thompson Group, plc. JLT's results of
operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020
are included in the Company's results of operations for 2020. The
Company's prior period 2019 results of operations do not include
JLT's results for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Prior to
being acquired by the Company, JLT operated in three segments,
Specialty, Reinsurance and Employee Benefits. As of April 1, 2019,
the historical JLT businesses were combined into MMC operations as
follows: JLT Specialty was included by geography within Marsh, JLT
Reinsurance was included within Guy Carpenter and the majority of
the JLT Employee Benefits business was included in Mercer Health
and Wealth.
The JLT Transaction had a significant impact on the Company's
results of operations in 2019. The Company believes that in
addition to the change in reported GAAP revenue, a comparison of
2020 revenue to the combined 2019 revenue of MMC and JLT would
provide investors useful information about the year-over-year
results.
The table below sets forth revenue information as if the
companies were combined on January 1, 2019. Consolidated revenue in
2019 for the six months ended June 30, 2019 "MMC as previously
reported" does not include JLT revenue for the period from January
1 to March 31, 2019. The "2019 Including JLT" revenue information
set forth in the table below presents revenue information as if the
companies were combined on January 1, 2019 and is not necessarily
indicative of what the results would have been had we operated the
business since January 1, 2019.
The MMC revenue amounts are as previously reported by the
Company in its quarterly filings on Form 10-Q for the applicable
periods. JLT 2019 revenue information is derived using the same
policies and adjustments as the "JLT Supplemental Information -
Revenue Analysis" furnished to the SEC on June 6, 2019 on Form 8-K,
and includes the revenue from JLT's aerospace business.
