Positive
Strong total revenue growth of 16% year-over-year in Q4 and 24% for the full year 2023
Organic revenue growth of 15% in Q4 and 19% for the full year
Adjusted EBITDA grew by 16% in Q4 and 27% for the full year, demonstrating financial stability and growth
Positive outlook for 2024 with expectations of profitable double-digit organic growth and expanding margins
The reported 16% year-over-year growth in total revenues for the fourth quarter, coupled with a 24% growth for the full year , indicates a robust expansion phase for BRP Group. The consistent organic revenue growth, nearing 20%, showcases the company's ability to grow its core business independently of acquisitions. This is a strong signal to investors that the firm is not only expanding its market share but also strengthening its operational efficiencies.
However, the GAAP net loss of $164 million for the full year, contrasted with an adjusted net income of $131.1 million, warrants a closer examination of non-operational factors affecting profitability. Adjusted EBITDA's 27% increase and a 21% margin reflect a healthy cash flow position, which is crucial for future investments and debt management. The liquidity position, evidenced by $116.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and available credit, suggests a solid financial foundation to support ongoing operations and potential strategic initiatives.
The insurance distribution sector is highly competitive and subject to regulatory changes, making BRP Group's double-digit organic growth particularly noteworthy. This growth trajectory suggests that BRP Group is successfully navigating industry challenges and capturing market demand through its tailored insurance solutions. The emphasis on expense rationalization could indicate a strategic shift towards operational excellence, aiming to enhance profitability.
BRP Group's forward-looking statements about profitable growth and margin expansion in 2024 demonstrate confidence in their business model and market position. Investors should consider the long-term implications of these strategies, such as increased market share and improved financial stability, which could lead to enhanced shareholder value.
The macroeconomic context in which BRP Group operates can have significant implications for its performance. Factors such as interest rate fluctuations, economic cycles and regulatory changes in the insurance industry can impact consumer and commercial client behavior. The company's ability to sustain organic growth amidst such conditions suggests resilience and adaptability.
BRP Group's growth and margin expansion plans may benefit from a stable or growing economy, as businesses and individuals are more likely to invest in insurance products. However, economic downturns could pose risks to revenue streams. The company's robust liquidity position provides a buffer against potential economic headwinds, offering flexibility to navigate uncertain markets.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Organic Revenue, Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) and adjusted net cash provided by operating activities (“free cash flow”) are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for GAAP measures, including commissions and fees (for Organic Revenue and Organic Revenue Growth), net income (loss) (for Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin), net income (loss) attributable to BRP Group (for Adjusted Net Income), diluted earnings (loss) per share (for Adjusted Diluted EPS) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (for free cash flow), which we consider to be the most directly comparable GAAP measures. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, you should not consider these non-GAAP financial measures in isolation or as substitutes for commissions and fees, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to BRP Group, diluted earnings (loss) per share, net cash provided by (used in) operating activities or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies in our industry may define or calculate these non-GAAP financial measures differently than we do, and accordingly, these measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration and certain items of income and expense, including share-based compensation expense, transaction-related Partnership and integration expenses, severance, and certain non-recurring items, including those related to raising capital. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of income and expenses that do not relate to business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Margin is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of income and expenses that do not relate to business performance, and that the presentation of this measure enhances an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA Margin is helpful in measuring profitability of operations on a consolidated level.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have important limitations as analytical tools. For example, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin:
do not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations;
do not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt;
do not reflect share-based compensation expense and other non-cash charges; and
exclude certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us.
We calculate Organic Revenue based on commissions and fees for the relevant period by excluding the first twelve months of commissions and fees generated from new Partners. Organic Revenue Growth is the change in Organic Revenue period-to-period, with prior period results adjusted to include commissions and fees that were excluded from Organic Revenue in the prior period because the relevant Partners had not yet reached the twelve-month owned mark, but which have reached the twelve-month owned mark in the current period. For example, revenues from a Partner acquired on June 1, 2022 are excluded from Organic Revenue for 2022. However, after June 1, 2023, results from June 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 for such Partners are compared to results from June 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023 for purposes of calculating Organic Revenue Growth in 2023. Organic Revenue Growth is a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We believe that Organic Revenue and Organic Revenue Growth are appropriate measures of operating performance as they allow investors to measure, analyze and compare growth in a meaningful and consistent manner.
We define Adjusted Net Income as net income (loss) attributable to BRP Group adjusted for depreciation, amortization, change in fair value of contingent consideration and certain items of income and expense, including share-based compensation expense, transaction-related Partnership and integration expenses, severance, and certain non-recurring costs that, in the opinion of management, significantly affect the period-over-period assessment of operating results, and the related tax effect of those adjustments. We believe that Adjusted Net Income is an appropriate measure of operating performance because it eliminates the impact of income and expenses that do not relate to business performance.
Adjusted Diluted EPS measures our per share earnings excluding certain expenses as discussed above and assuming all shares of Class B common stock were exchanged for Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. Adjusted Diluted EPS is calculated as Adjusted Net Income divided by adjusted diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. We believe Adjusted Diluted EPS is useful to investors because it enables them to better evaluate per share operating performance across reporting periods.
We calculate free cash flow because we hold fiduciary cash designated for our Insurance Company Partners on behalf of our Clients and incur substantial earnout liabilities in conjunction with our Partnership strategy. Free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding the impact of: (i) the change in premiums, commissions and fees receivable, net; (ii) the change in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities; and (iii) the payment of contingent earnout consideration in excess of purchase price accrual. We believe that free cash flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating financial performance because it measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations.
Reconciliation of guidance regarding Adjusted EBITDA, Organic Revenue Growth, Adjusted Diluted EPS and free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measures is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability, complexity, and low visibility with respect to commissions and fees, net income (loss), diluted earnings (loss) per share or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of items that would be expected to impact these GAAP financial measures for these periods. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the non-GAAP measures.
