How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

non-GAAP financial measures financial
"Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are non-GAAP measures"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
adjusted EBITDA margin financial
"Adjusted EBITDA margin is adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues"
Adjusted EBITDA margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core operations, expressed as a percentage of its total revenue, after removing certain one-time or unusual expenses and income. It helps investors understand the company's true earning ability from regular business activities, making it easier to compare performance over time or with other companies. Think of it as measuring the efficiency of a business in turning sales into profits, excluding irregular adjustments.
organic revenue growth financial
"Organic revenue growth is the change in organic revenue period-to-period"
Organic revenue growth is the increase in a company's sales that comes from its existing products and services, without including any gains from acquisitions or selling off parts of the business. It reflects the company’s ability to attract more customers or encourage existing customers to buy more over time. For investors, it indicates the company's underlying strength and efficiency in expanding its core operations.
retained commissions and fees financial
"total revenue minus outside commissions"
net leverage financial
"Net Leverage 4.4x"
Net leverage measures how many years it would take for a company to pay off its outstanding debt using its annual operating cash flow, after subtracting cash on hand from total debt. Think of it like a household’s mortgage balance minus savings divided by yearly income; a lower number means the company is in a safer position to handle debt, while a higher number signals greater financial risk and potential pressure on profits or growth.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, organic revenue, organic revenue growth and adjusted net cash provided by operating activities (“adjusted 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) or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities (for adjusted 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 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, transformation costs, 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 (i) the first 12 months of commissions and fees generated from new partners and (ii) commissions and fees from divestitures. Organic revenue growth is the change in organic revenue period-to-period, with prior period results adjusted to (i) include commissions and fees that were excluded from organic revenue in the prior period because the relevant partners had not yet reached the 12-month owned mark, but which have reached the 12-month owned mark in the current period, and (ii) exclude commissions and fees related to divestitures from organic revenue. For example, commissions and fees from a partner acquired on June 1, 2025 are excluded from organic revenue for 2025. However, after June 1, 2026, results from June 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 for such partners are compared to results from June 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026 for purposes of calculating organic revenue growth in 2026. 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 calculate adjusted free cash flow because we incur substantial earnout liabilities in conjunction with our partnership strategy. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding the impact of: (i) the payment of contingent earnout consideration in excess of purchase price accrual, and (ii) the payment of colleague earnout incentives. We believe that adjusted free cash flow is an important measure of our ability to generate cash from our business operations.

BWIN | NASDAQ | Earnings Supplement 3 This presentation includes certain financial measures (including, retained commissions and fees, organic revenue, organic revenue growth, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA margin on retained commissions and fees, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, pro forma credit adjusted EBITDA, adjusted free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow conversion) that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“non-GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered only as supplemental to, and not as superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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, revenues, net income (loss), net income (loss) attributable to Baldwin, 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. The pro forma information presented herein (i) assumes our 2025 and 2026 partnerships were consummated on January 1, 2025, such that our 2025 financial pro forma figures take into account adjusted EBITDA from our 2025 and 2026 partnerships in the unowned period of 2025, and (ii) removes the effects of 2025 divestitures for the respective periods as if the divestitures had occurred on January 1, 2025. This unaudited pro forma information should not be relied upon as being indicative of the historical results that would have been obtained if the acquisitions had occurred on that date, nor the results that may be obtained in the future. Pro forma credit adjusted EBITDA is adjusted to include the effects of partnerships and credit adjustments. We define pro forma credit adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain items of income and expense, including share-based compensation expense, transaction-related partnership and integration expenses, transformation costs, severance, and certain non-recurring items, including capital related expenses, and additional adjustments (without duplication) permitted under our debt agreements, including pro forma credit adjustments for the CAC Group, Obie and Capstone partnerships in the unowned periods. Pro forma credit adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used by management and our board of directors to assess our financial performance. We believe that pro forma credit adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because the presentation of this measure enhances their understanding of the effect that the CAC Group, Obie and Capstone partnerships and credit adjustments have on our financial performance. Please refer to the organic revenue growth reconciliation, adjusted EBITDA bridge, adjusted compensation and benefits expense, adjusted selling, operating and administrative expense, adjusted EBITDA margin on retained commissions and fees bridge and pro forma consolidated and credit adjusted EBITDA bridge slides in the appendix to this presentation, in addition to our earnings release issued on October 27, 2026 and posted to our website, for reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Note, however, that the Company is unable to reconcile forward-looking non-GAAP guidance contained in this presentation to the most comparable GAAP measures. Reconciliation of such guidance is not available without unreasonable efforts 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 for these periods. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the non-GAAP measures. Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Refer to the Appendix of this presentation and our earnings release issued on October 27, 2026 and posted on our website for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. (2) Retained commissions and fees is total revenue minus outside commissions. This represents a non-GAAP measure used to measure efficiency of internal workforce, removing the effect of insurance products distributed by third-party distribution partners (i.e. traditional retail and wholesale agents, proprietary software management companies, builders, etc.). Adjusted EBITDA margin on retained commissions and fees is adjusted EBITDA divided by retained commissions and fees. Refer to the Appendix of this presentation and our earnings release issued on October 27, 2026 and posted on our website for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. (3) Management calculates adjusted net cash provided by operating activities (“adjusted free cash flow”), a non-GAAP measure, because the Company holds fiduciary cash designated for our insurance company partners on behalf of our clients and incurs substantial earnout liabilities in conjunction with its partnership strategy. Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities excluding the impact of: (i) the payment of contingent earnout consideration in excess of purchase price accrual, and (ii) the payment of colleague earnout incentives. Refer to the Appendix of this presentation and our earnings release issued on October 27, 2026 and posted on our website for a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
