About these numbers
- Willis Towers Watson's revenue is the total revenue figure in its filings. For financial companies it can combine interest, fees, premiums and other income, so it isn't directly comparable with revenue at companies that sell products.
What we left out
- Operating cash flow, total debt and cash are left out: for this kind of financial company they mostly reflect lending, trading or investing flows and say little about the business, and they aren't comparable with other companies'.
