Total revenues grew to $10.31 billion, up 16.7% year-over-year, driven by significant contributions from both the brokerage and risk management segments.

Frequently Asked Questions

The acquisition of AssuredPartners, completed on August 18, 2025, for $13.8 billion, significantly boosted AJG's total revenues and total assets. The brokerage segment, in particular, saw substantial revenue growth attributed to this acquisition. While the integration of AssuredPartners is expected to incur significant integration costs, the company anticipates these will contribute to long-term growth and synergy.

AJG's total debt has increased due to financing the AssuredPartners and Woodruff Sawyer acquisitions. However, the company's overall liquidity remains strong, with a substantial balance of cash and cash equivalents. The company has access to significant credit facilities to manage its liquidity needs and has demonstrated a commitment to returning capital to shareholders through increased dividends.

AJG anticipates continued organic growth driven by strong customer retention, new business generation, and increasing renewal premiums (rate and exposure increases) in its property/casualty brokerage operations. While economic conditions and potential slowdowns in premium rate increases could impact growth, the company's diversified business model and global presence provide resilience.

AJG uses several non-GAAP measures such as EBITDAC, Adjusted EBITDAC, Adjusted EPS, and Organic Revenue to provide a more comprehensive view of its operational performance and comparability across periods. These measures exclude items like acquisition integration costs, transaction-related costs, and foreign currency translation impacts, which management believes can obscure underlying business trends.
