Insights

Financial Analyst

AJG delivers outstanding Q1 with 14% revenue growth, 9% organic growth, and 26% EBITDAC increase, continuing strong acquisition strategy.

Arthur J. Gallagher's Q1 2025 results showcase exceptional financial performance across all key metrics. The company delivered 14% revenue growth in core segments (reaching $3.69 billion), with an impressive 9% organic revenue growth signaling robust underlying business momentum even without acquisitions.

Profitability metrics showed substantial improvements, with net earnings margin expanding 175 basis points to 23.0% and adjusted EBITDAC margin increasing 338 basis points to 41.1%. This marks the 20th consecutive quarter of double-digit EBITDAC growth, demonstrating consistent operational excellence and execution.

Cost discipline remains strong, with the compensation expense ratio decreasing 2.8 points to 48.8% and operating expense ratio improving 1.4 points to 10.5%. These improvements stem partially from interest income on proceeds associated with the AssuredPartners financing as well as headcount controls and real estate consolidation savings.

The acquisition strategy continues to drive growth, with 10 acquisitions completed in Q1 representing $62.7 million in estimated annualized revenues. The recently completed Woodruff Sawyer acquisition adds another $250 million in estimated annual revenue. Meanwhile, the pending $13.45 billion AssuredPartners acquisition represents a significant strategic expansion, with financing secured through $8.5 billion in common stock offering and $5.0 billion in senior notes.

The adjusted diluted EPS increased 6.4% to $3.67 from $3.45, reflecting the company's ability to translate revenue growth into meaningful shareholder value despite dilution from equity raises for acquisition financing.

Insurance Industry Expert

AJG outperforms with 9% organic growth in stable insurance market, showing strong execution across all revenue streams.

The 9% organic growth achieved by Gallagher stands out significantly in the insurance brokerage sector, where mid-single digit organic growth is typically considered strong performance. This exceptional result demonstrates Gallagher's superior market execution and client retention in a competitive landscape.

A detailed breakdown reveals balanced organic growth across multiple revenue streams: supplemental revenues led with 21.6% growth, base commissions and fees grew 9.1%, and contingent revenues increased 7.0%. This multi-channel strength indicates effectiveness across the entire business model rather than reliance on a single growth driver.

The CEO's market commentary points to a disciplined insurance pricing environment where carriers are selectively pursuing growth in profitable segments while securing necessary rate increases elsewhere. The bifurcation in premium trends between commercial property (declining 2%) and casualty (increasing 8%) reflects carriers' strategic focus on maintaining underwriting profitability rather than pursuing market share through price competition.

Positive exposure changes and mid-term policy endorsements indicate Gallagher's clients are experiencing business growth, translating to expanded insurance needs. This organic expansion of the existing client base provides a solid foundation for revenue growth independent of market rate fluctuations.

The continued aggressive acquisition strategy aligns with broader industry consolidation trends. With 10 closed acquisitions in Q1, the Woodruff Sawyer acquisition completed in April, and the pending AssuredPartners transaction, Gallagher is positioning itself as a leading consolidator in the fragmented brokerage space.

The absence of observed negative impacts from tariffs or broader geopolitical tensions on customer business activity suggests resilience in Gallagher's client base and effective diversification across industries and geographies.

For first quarter 2025, the pretax impact of the Brokerage segment adjustments totals $292.0 million, mostly due to non‑cash period expenses related to intangible amortization, with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for income taxes of $73.7 million relating to these items.  For first quarter 2025, the pretax impact of the Risk Management segment adjustments totals $10.7 million, with a corresponding adjustment to the provision for income taxes of $2.9 million relating to these items.  For first quarter 2025, the pretax impact of the Corporate segment adjustments totals $23.1 million, with a corresponding adjustment to the benefit for income taxes of $3.1 million relating to these items.  A detailed reconciliation of the 2025 and 2024 provision (benefit) for income taxes is shown on pages 12 and 13.

"We had a fantastic first quarter" said J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr., Chairman and CEO.  "Our core brokerage and risk management segments combined to deliver 14% revenue growth, including organic revenue growth of 9%.  Our first quarter net earnings margin increased 175 basis points to 23.0%, our adjusted EBITDAC margin increased 338 basis points to 41.1%, and adjusted EBITDAC grew year-over-year by 26%, the 20^th consecutive quarter of double-digit growth.

"We also completed 11 new mergers in the quarter with approximately $100 million of estimated annualized revenue.  And in early April, we completed the acquisition of Woodruff Sawyer, adding more than $250 million of estimated annual revenue. 

"Overall, the global P/C insurance market continues to behave rationally with carriers looking to grow in lines and geographies where there is an acceptable return and seeking rate increases where it's needed to generate an appropriate underwriting profit.  Thus, we continue to see a bifurcation between commercial property and casualty renewal premium changes, with property declining 2% and casualty increasing 8% during first quarter 2025.  Exposure changes, including mid-term policy endorsements, continue to be positive, and we have yet to see any meaningful changes in our customers' business activity from tariffs or the broader geopolitical environment.

"Our talented production staff has the expertise, the tools, the data and the service capabilities to guide clients and prospects in the current environment.  I am very excited about 2025 and beyond."

Acquisition of AssuredPartners

As previously disclosed, on December 7, 2024, we agreed to acquire AssuredPartners for approximately $13.45 billion, subject to customary regulatory approvals, and standard closing conditions.  On March 7, 2025, we received a request for additional information as part of the Hart-Scott-Rodino filing.  We are actively responding to the request and expect that the transaction will close in the second half of 2025.  We raised $8.5 billion of cash in our December 11, 2024 follow-on common stock offering and borrowed $5.0 billion of cash in our December 19, 2024 senior notes issuance (collectively the AssuredPartners Financing) to fund the transaction.  On January 7, 2025, we received an additional $1.28 billion of cash due to the exercise by the underwriters of the overallotment provision related to the follow-on common stock offering.

(1)	Gallagher incurred transaction-related costs, which include legal, consulting, employee compensation and other professional fees associated with completed, future and terminated acquisitions.  Adjustments primarily relate to the acquisition of the Willis Towers Watson treaty reinsurance brokerage operations, the acquisitions of Buck, Cadence Insurance, Eastern Insurance Group, all of which closed in 2023, Woodruff Sawyer, which closed on April 10, 2025, and the pending acquisition of AssuredPartners.
(2)	Corporate pretax loss includes a net unrealized foreign exchange remeasurement loss of $(23.0) million in first quarter 2025 and a net unrealized foreign exchange remeasurement gain of $0.6 million in first quarter 2024.

Interest and banking costs and debt - At March 31, 2025, Gallagher had $9,550.0 million of borrowings from public debt, $3,523.0 million of borrowings from private placements and no borrowings under its line of credit facility.  In addition, Gallagher had $152.8 million outstanding under a revolving loan facility that provides funding for premium finance receivables, which are fully collateralized by the underlying premiums held by insurance carriers, and as such are excluded from its debt covenant computations, as applicable.  As previously announced, on April 3, 2025, Gallagher entered into an amendment and restatement to its Credit Agreement, dated as of June 22, 2023.  The amendment and restatement, among other things, extended the maturity date of the Credit Agreement from June 22, 2028 to April 3, 2030 and increased the commitment from $1,700.0 million to $2,500.0 million (including a $75.0 million letter of credit sub-facility and a $250.0 million Euro swingline sub-facility).  Interest and banking costs in first quarter 2025 are higher than the same period in 2024 primarily due to the debt issuances that occurred in February 2024 and December 2024.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures
In addition to reporting financial results in accordance with GAAP, this press release provides information regarding EBITDAC, EBITDAC margin, adjusted EBITDAC, adjusted EBITDAC margin, diluted net earnings per share, as adjusted (adjusted EPS), adjusted revenue, adjusted compensation and operating expenses, adjusted compensation expense ratio, adjusted operating expense ratio and organic revenue.  These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, the GAAP information provided in this press release.  Gallagher's management believes that these presentations provide useful information to management, analysts and investors regarding financial and business trends relating to Gallagher's results of operations and financial condition or because they provide investors with measures that its chief operating decision maker uses when reviewing Gallagher's performance.  See further below for definitions and additional reasons each of these measures is useful to investors.  Gallagher's industry peers may provide similar supplemental non-GAAP information with respect to one or more of these measures, although they may not use the same or comparable terminology and may not make identical adjustments.  The non-GAAP information provided by Gallagher should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the GAAP information provided.  As disclosed in its most recent Proxy Statement, Gallagher makes determinations regarding certain elements of executive officer incentive compensation, performance share awards and annual cash incentive awards, partly on the basis of measures related to adjusted EBITDAC. 

Adjusted Non-GAAP presentation - Gallagher believes that the adjusted non-GAAP presentations of the current and prior period information presented in this earnings release provide stockholders and other interested persons with useful information regarding certain financial metrics of Gallagher that may assist such persons in analyzing Gallagher's operating results as they develop a future earnings outlook for Gallagher.  The after-tax amounts related to the adjustments were computed using the normalized effective tax rate for each respective period.  See pages 14 and 15 for a reconciliation of the adjustments made to income taxes.

• Adjusted measures - Revenues (for the Brokerage segment), revenues before reimbursements (for the Risk Management segment), net earnings, compensation expense and operating expense, respectively, each adjusted to exclude the following, as applicable:
  • Net gains (losses) on divestitures, which are primarily net proceeds received related to sales of books of business and other divestiture transactions, such as the disposal of a business through sale or closure.
  • Acquisition integration costs, which include costs related to certain large acquisitions (including the acquisitions of the Willis Towers Watson treaty reinsurance brokerage operations, Buck, Cadence Insurance, Eastern Insurance Group and My Plan Manager), outside the scope of the usual tuck-in strategy, not expected to occur on an ongoing basis in the future once Gallagher fully assimilates the applicable acquisition. These costs are typically associated with redundant workforce, compensation expense related to amortization of certain retention bonus arrangements, extra lease space, duplicate services and external costs incurred to assimilate the acquisition into its IT related systems.
  • Transaction-related costs, which are associated with completed, future and terminated acquisitions. Costs primarily relate to the acquisitions of the Willis Towers Watson treaty reinsurance brokerage operations, Buck, Cadence Insurance, Eastern Insurance Group and Woodruff Sawyer, which closed on April 10, 2025, and the pending acquisition of AssuredPartners. These include costs related to regulatory filings, legal and accounting services, insurance and incentive compensation.
  • Workforce related charges, which primarily include severance costs (either accrued or paid) related to employee terminations and other costs associated with redundant workforce.
  • Lease termination related charges, which primarily include costs related to terminations of real estate leases and abandonment of leased space.
  • Acquisition related adjustments principally relate to changes in estimated acquisition earnout payables adjustments and acquisition related compensation charges. In addition, from time to time may include changes in balance sheet estimates arising from conforming accounting principles, purchase-related true-ups and other balance sheet adjustments made after the closing date; the net impact of these on first quarter 2024 results was approximately $26 million of revenues and approximately $28 million of compensation expense.
  • Amortization of intangible assets, which reflects the amortization of customer/expiration lists, non-compete agreements, trade names and other intangible assets acquired through Gallagher's merger and acquisition strategy, the impact to amortization expense of acquisition valuation adjustments to these assets as well as non-cash impairment charges.
  • The impact of foreign currency translation, as applicable. The amounts excluded with respect to foreign currency translation are calculated by applying current year foreign exchange rates to the same period in the prior year.
  • Effective income tax rate impact, which levelizes the prior year for the change in current year tax rates.

(8 of 13)

• Adjusted ratios - Adjusted compensation expense and adjusted operating expense, respectively, each divided by adjusted revenues.

Non-GAAP Earnings Measures

• EBITDAC and EBITDAC margin - EBITDAC is net earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and the change in estimated acquisition earnout payables and EBITDAC margin is EBITDAC divided by total revenues (for the Brokerage segment) and revenues before reimbursements (for the Risk Management segment). These measures for the Brokerage and Risk Management segments provide a meaningful representation of Gallagher's operating performance for the overall business and provide a meaningful way to measure its financial performance on an ongoing basis.
  
  
• EBITDAC, as Adjusted and EBITDAC Margin, as Adjusted - Adjusted EBITDAC is EBITDAC adjusted to exclude net gains on divestitures, acquisition integration costs, workforce related charges, lease termination related charges, acquisition related adjustments, transaction related costs, and the period-over-period impact of foreign currency translation, as applicable, and Adjusted EBITDAC margin is Adjusted EBITDAC divided by total adjusted revenues (defined above). These measures for the Brokerage and Risk Management segments provide a meaningful representation of Gallagher's operating performance and are also presented to improve the comparability of its results between periods by eliminating the impact of the items that have a high degree of variability.
  
  
• EPS, as Adjusted and Net Earnings, as Adjusted - Adjusted net earnings have been adjusted to exclude the after-tax impact of net gains on divestitures, acquisition integration costs, the impact of foreign currency translation, workforce related charges, lease termination related charges, acquisition related adjustments, transaction related costs, amortization of intangible assets, and effective income tax rate impact, as applicable. Adjusted EPS is Adjusted Net Earnings divided by diluted weighted average shares outstanding. This measure provides a meaningful representation of Gallagher's operating performance (and as such should not be used as a measure of Gallagher's liquidity), and for the overall business is also presented to improve the comparability of its results between periods by eliminating the impact of the items that have a high degree of variability.

Organic Revenues (a non-GAAP measure) - For the Brokerage segment, organic change in base commission and fee revenues, supplemental revenues and contingent revenues exclude the first twelve months of such revenues generated from acquisitions and such revenues related to divested operations, which include disposals of a business through sale or closure, run-off of a business and the restructuring and/or repricing of programs and products, in each year presented.  These revenues are excluded from organic revenues in order to help interested persons analyze the revenue growth associated with the operations that were a part of Gallagher in both the current and prior period.  In addition, organic change in base commission and fee revenues, supplemental revenues and contingent revenues excludes the period-over-period impact of foreign currency translation to improve the comparability of its results between periods.  For the Risk Management segment, organic change in fee revenues excludes the first twelve months of such revenues generated from acquisitions and such revenues related to divested operations in each year presented.  In addition, change in organic growth in fee revenues excludes the period-over-period impact of foreign currency translation to improve the comparability of its results between periods. 

These revenue items are excluded from organic revenues in order to determine a comparable, but non-GAAP, measurement of revenue growth that is associated with the revenue sources that are expected to continue in the current year and beyond, as well as eliminating the impact of the items that have a high degree of variability.  Gallagher has historically viewed organic revenue growth as an important indicator when assessing and evaluating the performance of its Brokerage and Risk Management segments.  Gallagher also believes that using this non-GAAP measure allows readers of its financial statements to measure, analyze and compare the growth from its Brokerage and Risk Management segments in a meaningful and consistent manner.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Information Presented to GAAP Measures - This press release includes tabular reconciliations to the most comparable GAAP measures, as follows: for EBITDAC (on pages 10 and 11), for adjusted revenues, adjusted EBITDAC and adjusted diluted net earnings per share (on page 1), for organic revenue measures (on pages 2 and 4, respectively, for the Brokerage and Risk Management segments), for adjusted compensation and operating expenses and adjusted EBITDAC margin (on pages 3, 4 and 5, respectively, for the Brokerage and Risk Management segments).
