Organic Revenue Growth of 4% in Brokerage Commissions and Fees
Base commissions and fees in the brokerage segment grew 33% on a reported basis, but organic growth was 4%, driven by strong customer retention, new business, and continued renewal premium increases. Total organic commissions, fees, supplemental and contingent revenues rose 5%.
Prior-Year Interest Income Headwind
In Q2 2025, the brokerage segment benefited from approximately $144 million of incremental interest income earned on cash proceeds from the AssuredPartners financing. The absence of this temporary income in Q2 2026 significantly dampened profit comparisons and adjusted EBITDAC margin comparisons.
Acquisition Activity Slowed from Prior Year
Gallagher closed 6 acquisitions in Q2 2026 with estimated annualized revenues of $58 million, compared to 9 acquisitions and $291 million in annualized revenues in Q2 2025. This reflects a more moderate pace of deal-making this year.
