INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This press release contains "forward-looking statements," as defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which
express management's current views concerning future events or results, use
words like "anticipate," "assume," "believe," "continue," "estimate,"
"expect," "intend," "plan," "project" and similar terms, and future or
conditional tense verbs like "could," "may," "might," "should," "will" and
"would".

Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or
implied in our forward-looking statements. Factors that could materially
affect our future results include, among other things:


 * the impact of geopolitical or macroeconomic conditions on us, our clients and
the countries and industries in which we operate, including from conflicts
such as the war in Ukraine, slower GDP growth or recession, capital markets
volatility, instability in the banking sector and inflation;


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


 * the impact from lawsuits or investigations arising from errors and omissions,
breaches of fiduciary duty or other claims against us in our capacity as a
broker or investment advisor, including claims related to our investment
business’ ability to execute timely trades;


 * the financial and operational impact of complying with laws and regulations,
including domestic and international sanctions regimes, anti-corruption laws
such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, U.K. Anti Bribery Act and
cybersecurity and data privacy regulations;


 * our ability to attract, retain and develop industry leading talent;


 * our ability to compete effectively and adapt to competitive pressures in each
of our businesses, including from disintermediation as well as technological
change, digital disruption and other types of innovation;


 * our ability to manage potential conflicts of interest, including where our
services to a client conflict, or are perceived to conflict, with the
interests of another client or our own interests;


 * the impact of changes in tax laws, guidance and interpretations, such as the
implementation of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
international tax framework, 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

Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc.

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. Non-GAAP
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 and item 10(e) Regulation S-K in accordance with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These measures are: non-GAAP revenue,
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 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, 2023 and 2022.
The following tables also present adjusted operating margin. For the three
months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, adjusted operating margin is calculated
by dividing the sum of adjusted operating income and identified intangible
asset amortization by consolidated or segment adjusted revenue. The Company's
adjusted revenue used in the determination of adjusted operating margin is
calculated by excluding the impact of certain noteworthy items from the
Company's GAAP revenue.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures

Three Months Ended March 31

(Millions) (Unaudited)

Non-GAAP revenue isolates the impact of foreign exchange rate movements and
certain transaction-related items from the current period GAAP revenue. The
non-GAAP revenue measure is presented on a constant currency basis, excluding
the impact of foreign currency fluctuations. The Company isolates the impact
of foreign exchange rate movements period over period, by translating the
current period foreign currency GAAP revenue into U.S. Dollars based on the
difference in the current and corresponding prior period exchange rates.
Similarly, certain other items such as acquisitions and dispositions,
including transfers among businesses, may impact period over period
comparisons of revenue and are consistently excluded from current and prior
period GAAP revenues for comparability purposes. Percentage changes, referred
to as non-GAAP underlying revenue, are calculated by dividing the period over
period change in non-GAAP revenue by the prior period non-GAAP revenue.

The following table provides the reconciliation of GAAP revenue to non-GAAP
revenue:
