Current report
Selling, general, and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased $8.7 million, or (11.1)%, in the three months ended June 30, 2026 and $7.1 million, or (4.7)%, for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared with the 2025 periods. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.1 million one-time indirect tax expense in the 2025 second quarter and lower compensation costs, partially offset by a $2.3 million software impairment charge.
Current report
Revenues before reimbursements from our U.S. Property & Casualty segment totaled $147.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $164.7 million in the 2025 period. This decrease was primarily driven by a continued decrease in weather-driven services within our Catastrophe Services, Claims Solutions, and Contractor Connection businesses. There was a decrease in segment unit volume, measured principally by cases received, of (16.7)% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the 2025 period. This includes a decrease in low value inspection services cases, of 14,900 or (7.8)%. The decrease in revenues in our Catastrophe Services business of $(9.4) million, or (5.7)%, for which there are minimal cases, is primarily due to a continued decrease in staff augmentation and weather-driven services. During the first two quarters of 2025, there was an increase in complex claims of 2,550, or 1.3%, within Global Technical Services for which revenue is expected to be recognized in future periods. Changes in product mix and in the rates charged for those services accounted for a 2.5% revenue increase for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with the same period in 2025.
Current report
There was a decrease in cases of (16.7)% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. Global Technical Services declined primarily due to 2,550 cases received in the prior year for a specific complex event and a decrease in claim referrals from specialized programs. The decrease in Claims Solutions volumes in the 2026 second quarter was primarily due to the decrease in low value inspection services of 14,900 cases. There were decreases in Contractor Connection and Catastrophe Services for the six months ended June 30, 2026 primarily due to less weather-driven activity, as compared with the 2025 period.
Current report

The increase for the 2026 second quarter was due to growth in disability claims and medical management revenues. The slight decrease for the year-to-date period was due to an increase in software amortization.
Current report
There was an increase in cases of 4.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, due primarily to increases in new disability clients within our Claims Management service line, partially offset by a decline in Subrogation cases due to the loss of a customer and decreased casualty claims within our Claims Management service line.
Current report
Revenues before reimbursements from our International Operations segment totaled $269.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $258.5 million in the 2025 period.

Current report
There was an increase in cases received of 8.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with the 2025 period.

In addition, Canada volume improved due to the addition of a new client with high-frequency, low-severity cases. Australia had an increase in claims due to an increase in weather-related activity, partially offset by 6,000 storm claims added in the prior year second quarter. U.K had a decline in third-party administration cases. Latin America also had decreased cases due to a reduction in high-frequency, low-value cases received in Brazil of 10,100 cases.

Current report
The provision for income taxes on consolidated income before income tax totaled $8.6 million and $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The overall effective tax rate decreased to 32.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared with 36.4% for the 2025 period primarily due to a one-time expense of $1.3 million relating to administrative guidance issued by a foreign tax authority in 2025.
