MMC REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, February 14, 2006-Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. (MMC)
today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31,
2005. Marsh's U.S. wholesale broking operations and Sedgwick Claims Management
Services, sold in October 2005 and January 2006, respectively, are shown in
MMC's financial results as discontinued operations.
In the fourth quarter, consolidated revenues were $2.8 billion, a 2 percent
decline from the fourth quarter of 2004. Net income was $35 million, or $.06 per
share, compared with a net loss of $680 million, or $1.29 per share, in the
fourth quarter of 2004. Income from continuing operations was $17 million, or
$.03 per share, compared with a net loss of $683 million, or $1.29 per share, in
the fourth quarter of 2004. Excluding noteworthy items and stock option expense
described in the attached supplemental schedules, earnings per share from net
income in the fourth quarter of 2005 was $.28, compared with $.26 in the same
period of 2004.
Full-year consolidated revenues were $11.7 billion, compared with $11.8 billion
in 2004. Net income for the full year was $404 million, or $.74 per share,
compared with $176 million, or $.33 per share, in 2004. Income from continuing
operations was $369 million, or $.67 per share, compared with $154 million, or
$.29 per share, in 2004. Excluding noteworthy items and stock option expense,
earnings per share for the full year from net income was $1.57, compared with
$2.38 in 2004. The accompanying supplemental schedules give effect to
discontinued operations and segment reclassifications. Quarterly trends are
shown on pages 13, 15, and 16.
Michael G. Cherkasky, president and chief executive officer of MMC, said: 'Two
thousand five was a challenging year for MMC. We did what we critically needed
to do. We stabilized MMC; we preserved our great brands-Marsh, Mercer, Putnam,
Kroll, and Guy Carpenter; and we overwhelmingly retained our clients and
employees. MMC is a much stronger company today than it was a year ago. Marsh
had better client and staff retention and better profitability in the fourth
quarter than in the previous quarters of 2005. We expect those trends to
continue in 2006. Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Mercer Specialty Consulting,
and Kroll grew revenues and are positioned for increased profitability in 2006,
as is Guy Carpenter. Putnam continues to reduce its net outflows as it slowly
but steadily completes its turnaround. MMC is headed in the right direction.'
Risk and Insurance Services
The improved business tone at Marsh is apparent in fourth quarter results. Both
worldwide and North American client retention rates improved meaningfully from
what has been reported throughout the year. Underlying revenues, excluding
market services revenues, declined 2 percent, also a marked improvement from
previous quarters. These results were achieved despite continued premium rate
declines in the commercial insurance marketplace, particularly in Europe.
Guy Carpenter's revenues in the fourth quarter were $155 million, unchanged from
the same period of 2004. While not reflected in 2005 results, January 2006
renewals showed premium rate increases in property catastrophe coverage.
Revenues from Marsh & McLennan Risk Capital Holdings were $27 million,
reflecting lower sales of equity investments. This was a marked decline not only
from the $58 million of revenues in the fourth quarter of 2004 but also from the
first three quarters of 2005.
Total risk and insurance services revenues declined 7 percent to $1.3 billion in
the fourth quarter. The decline was primarily due to the year-over-year effect
of market services revenues, the reduced sales of equity investments, and
foreign currency translation. These results exclude strong revenue growth by
Sedgwick Claims Management Services, which previously had been included in
related insurance services but is now reflected in discontinued operations.
Risk Consulting and Technology
Kroll continued to produce strong revenue growth in the fourth quarter. Revenues
increased 14 percent to $230 million from $201 million, or 18 percent on an
underlying basis, led by strong growth in corporate advisory and restructuring,
background screening, and technology services. In Kroll's first full year of
operations as part of MMC, revenues were $946 million, and operating income was
$124 million.
Consulting
Mercer's total revenues increased 6 percent in the fourth quarter to $966
million. Specialty consulting produced excellent results, with revenues
increasing 16 percent to $248 million, compared with the fourth quarter of 2004.
Mercer Oliver Wyman and Mercer's strategy and operations consulting businesses
fueled this performance, continuing a pattern of strong growth throughout 2005.
Mercer Human Resource Consulting reported a 2 percent increase in quarterly
revenues to $664 million. Underlying growth of 3 percent reflected solid results
in retirement and human capital consulting and overall strength in international
operations.
Investment Management
Putnam's revenues in the fourth quarter declined 12 percent to $360 million, in
line with the year-over-year decline in average assets under management, which
were $188 billion, compared with $211 billion in the fourth quarter of 2004. Net
redemptions in the quarter were $6.4 billion. Total assets under management on
December 31, 2005 were $189 billion, comprising $126 billion of mutual fund
assets and $63 billion of institutional assets.
Other Items
The 2005 restructuring program resulted in savings of $160 million in the year,
with the remaining $215 million of the total annualized savings of $375 million
to occur in 2006, all in risk and insurance services. Restructuring-related
costs totaled $320 million in 2005, and the remaining $50 million is anticipated
in the first half of 2006.
Fourth quarter results also include expenses of $40 million in connection with
certain litigation and related matters.
MMC's net debt (total debt less cash and cash equivalents) was $3.5 billion at
year-end, reflecting a decline of approximately $250 million in the fourth
quarter and $430 million for the full year, driven primarily by strong operating
cash flows. In addition, the company made discretionary cash contributions of
$235 million to its U.K. pension plans, bringing aggregate discretionary pension
contributions in the United States and the United Kingdom to $440 million for
the full year.
In the fourth quarter of 2005, MMC entered into a new five-year revolving credit
agreement in the amount of $1.2 billion. MMC also repatriated $585 million of
accumulated international earnings at a favorable tax rate pursuant to the
American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. To fund the repatriation, certain MMC
international subsidiaries incurred borrowings under the new credit facility,
which increased both cash and debt levels at the end of 2005.
The combined annualized revenues from Marsh's U.S. wholesale broking operations,
Crump Group, and Sedgwick Claims Management Services were approximately $470
million in 2005 and $400 million in 2004. The results of these operations,
including the after-tax net gain on the sale of Crump, have been reflected as
discontinued operations. The gain on the sale of Sedgwick Claims Management
Services will be reflected in the first quarter of 2006.

This press release contains 'forward-looking statements,' as defined in the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, which use
words like 'anticipate,' 'believe,' 'estimate,' 'expect,' 'intend,' 'plan,'
'project' and similar terms, express management's current views concerning
future events or results. For example, we may use forward-looking statements
when addressing topics such as: future actions by our management or regulators;
the outcome of contingencies; changes in our business strategy; changes in our
business practices and methods of generating revenue; the development and
performance of our services and products; market and industry conditions,
including competitive and pricing trends; changes in the composition or level of
MMC's revenues; our cost structure; the impact of acquisitions and dispositions;
and MMC's cash flow and liquidity.
Forward-looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
expressed or implied in our forward-looking statements include:
• the economic and reputational impact of: litigation and regulatory
proceedings brought by federal and state regulators and law enforcement
authorities concerning our insurance and reinsurance brokerage operations
and our investment management operations (including the complaint filed in
October 2004 by the New York Attorney General's office relating to market
service agreements and other matters, and proceedings relating to
market-timing matters at Putnam); and class actions, derivative actions and
individual suits filed by policyholders and shareholders in connection with
the foregoing;
• the extent to which we are able to replace the revenues we previously
derived from contingent commissions, which we eliminated in late 2004;
• our ability to retain existing clients and attract new business,
particularly in our risk and insurance services segment, and our ability to
continue employment of key revenue producers and managers;
• period-to-period revenue fluctuations relating to the net effect of new
and lost business production and the timing of policy inception dates;
• the impact on our commission revenues of changes in the availability of,
and the premiums insurance carriers charge for, insurance products;
• the actual and relative investment performance of Putnam's mutual funds
and institutional and other advisory accounts, and the extent to which
Putnam reverses its recent net redemption experience, increases assets under
management and maintains management and administrative fees at historical
levels;
• our ability to implement our restructuring initiatives and otherwise
reduce expenses;
• our ability to execute our strategy of operating as 'one company,' which
includes employing technology-based business processes across our
organization, creating proprietary processes based on enterprise-wide
intellectual capital, and cross-selling to clients throughout MMC's
businesses;
• the impact of competition, including with respect to pricing and the
emergence of new competitors;
• the impact of increasing focus by regulators, clients and others on
potential conflicts of interest;
• changes in the value of MMC's investments in individual companies and
investment funds;
• our ability to make strategic acquisitions and to integrate, and realize
expected synergies, savings or strategic benefits from, acquired businesses;
• our ability to meet our financing needs by generating cash from
operations and accessing external financing sources, including the potential
impact of rating agency actions on our cost of financing or ability to
borrow;
• the impact on our operating results of foreign exchange fluctuations;
and
• changes in the tax or accounting treatment of our operations, and the
impact of other legislation and regulation in the jurisdictions in which we
operate.
Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made, and
MMC undertakes no obligation to update any such statement to reflect events or
circumstances after the date on which it is made. Further information concerning
MMC and its businesses, including information about factors that could
materially affect our results of operations and financial position, is contained
in MMC's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NON-GAAP MEASURES: The amounts shown below in Operating Income As Adjusted and
Operating Income Margin As Adjusted are non-GAAP financial measures within the
meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Because a number of noteworthy items impacted operating income and interest
expense in 2005, MMC believes that the supplemental non-GAAP financial measures
presented below may help investors and other users of MMC's financial
information to understand aspects of MMC's operating income and net income that
may not be apparent from MMC's reported GAAP results. Certain industry peers
provide similar supplemental information, although they may not use the same or
comparable terminology and may not make identical adjustments. The non-GAAP
financial measures presented below are not a substitute for MMC's reported GAAP
information.
MMC has reclassified prior period amounts to reflect organizational changes that
affected MMC's reportable segments. The changes, noted on Page 9, are reflected
in the tables below.

Notes to the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures
--------------------------------------------------
Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005
(a) For the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2005, market
services revenue of $29 million and $119 million, respectively, for Risk and
Insurance Services, and $1 million and $5 million, respectively, for the
employee benefits business transferred to Mercer, is included in Operating
Income As Reported and Operating Income As Adjusted.
(b) Settlement and Other Costs represent expenses incurred in connection with
certain litigation and related matters.
(c) Incremental regulatory and compliance costs in the risk and insurance
services segment include professional services provided by other MMC companies
and the inter-company amounts are eliminated in Corporate. The credit in
Investment Management relates to insurance recoveries of amounts previously
presented as Incremental Regulatory and Compliance costs.
(d) Other primarily reflects costs related to a claim against a letter of credit
posted by MMC on behalf of an insurance company previously owned by MMC,
accelerated leasehold amortization and the bonus impact on the insurance credit
received, partly offset by a gain on the sale of the corporate jet.
(e) Corporate expenses in 2005 include restructuring charges of $49 million
related to the consolidation of office space in London, which was recorded in
the first quarter of 2005. Because the office space consolidation was driven by
MMC to benefit its London operations as a whole, the related charge was recorded
in corporate expenses.
(f) Represents estimated costs that Putnam believes will be necessary to address
issues relating to the calculation of certain amounts paid by the Putnam mutual
funds in previous years. The previous payments were cost reimbursements by the
Putnam mutual funds to Putnam for transfer agency services related to defined
contribution operations.
(g) In addition to the noteworthy items that impacted operating income, interest
expense included a write-off of $7 million of unamortized costs related to the
refinancing of the 2004 revolving credit agreement and a $34 million mortgage
prepayment charge.
Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2004
(h) For the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2004, market
services revenue of $70 million and $521 million, respectively, for Risk and
Insurance Services, and $3 million and $20 million, respectively, for the
employee benefits business transferred to Mercer, is included in Operating
Income As Reported and Operating Income As Adjusted.
(i) Settlement and Other Costs include charges related to the investigation of
Marsh by New York regulators and Putnam's settlements with the SEC and State of
Massachusetts and a credit for the final insurance settlement related to WTC in
Corporate.
(j) In connection with accounting guidance issued by the Institute of Chartered
Accountants in the U.K., MMC reassessed its obligation to provide future claims
handling and certain administrative services for brokerage clients in the
European marketplace. MMC has determined that under certain circumstances it is
obligated to provide such services based on its current business practices. MMC
recorded a pretax charge to reflect the change in estimated cost to provide
these services. This change does not result in any incremental cash outflow for
MMC.
(k) The tax effect for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 reflects
non-deductible Putnam settlement, reserve for possible Marsh settlement at 34%
tax rate, credit related to insurance settlement at 40% tax rate, service
obligation estimated at 30% tax rate and other charges and credit at 35% tax
rate.
