the countries and industries in which we operate, including from conflicts
such as the war in Ukraine, capital markets volatility and inflation;


 * the increasing prevalence of ransomware, supply chain and other forms of cyber
attacks, and their potential to disrupt our operations and result in the
disclosure of confidential client or company information;

 * our ability to compete effectively and adapt to competitive pressures in each
of our businesses, including from disintermediation as well as technological

our businesses given our expanding client base, the broad scope of our work
and the significant volume of our engagements;


 * the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, 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

Supplemental Information - Revenue Analysis

Three Months Ended March 31

(Millions) (Unaudited)

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-to-period comparisons of revenue.
Underlying revenue measures the change in revenue from one period to the next
by isolating these impacts.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Three Months Ended March 31

(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 in accordance with "GAAP" or "reported" results). The Company also
refers to and presents certain additional non-GAAP financial measures, within
the meaning of Regulation G in accordance with 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, 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 its 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 (loss). The
following tables identify these noteworthy items and reconcile adjusted
operating income (loss) to GAAP operating income (loss), on a consolidated and
reportable segment basis, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the three
months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, adjusted operating margin is calculated
by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income and 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 in the preceding tables and the additional items
listed below. Adjusted EPS is calculated by dividing the Company’s adjusted
income, net of tax, by average number of shares outstanding-diluted for the
relevant period. The following tables reconcile adjusted income, net of tax to
GAAP income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS to GAAP EPS for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.
