Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Brown & Brown, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “Brown & Brown” or the “Company”), makes “forward-looking statements” within the “safe harbor” provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, throughout this report and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this report. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan” and “continue” or similar words. We have based these statements on our current expectations about potential future events. Although we believe the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the reports, statements, information and announcements incorporated by reference into this report are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business, a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, whether oral or written, made by us or on our behalf. Many of these factors have previously been identified in filings or statements made by us or on our behalf. Important factors which could cause our actual results to differ, possibly materially from the forward-looking statements in this report include but are not limited to the following items, in addition to those matters described in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”:

The inability to retain or hire qualified employees, as well as the loss of any of our executive officers or other key employees;
Acquisition-related risks that could negatively affect the success of our growth strategy, including the possibility that we may not be able to successfully identify suitable acquisition candidates, complete acquisitions, successfully integrate acquired businesses into our operations and expand into new markets;
A cybersecurity attack or any other interruption in information technology and/or data security that may impact our operations or the operations of third parties that support us;
Risks related to our international operations, which may result in additional risks or require more management time and expense than our domestic operations to achieve or maintain profitability;
The effects of inflation;
The requirement for additional resources and time to adequately respond to dynamics resulting from rapid technological change;
The loss of or significant change to any of our insurance company relationships, which could result in loss of capacity to write business, additional expense, loss of market share or material decrease in our commissions;
The effect of natural disasters on our profit-sharing contingent commissions, insurer capacity and claims expenses from our capitalized captive insurance facilities;
Adverse economic conditions, natural disasters, or regulatory changes in states or countries where we have a concentration of our business;
The inability to maintain our culture or a significant change in management, management philosophy or our business strategy;
Claims expense resulting from the limited underwriting risk associated with our participation in capitalized captive insurance facilities;
Risks associated with our automobile and recreational vehicle dealer services (“F&I") businesses;
Risks facing us in our Services Segment, including our third-party claims administration operations, that are distinct from those we face in our insurance intermediary operations;
The limitations of our system of disclosure and internal controls and procedures in preventing errors or fraud, or in informing management of all material information in a timely manner;
The significant control certain shareholders have over the Company;
Changes in data privacy and protection laws and regulations or any failure to comply with such laws and regulations;
Improper disclosure of confidential information;
Our ability to comply with non-U.S. laws, regulations and policies;
The potential adverse effect of certain actual or potential claims, regulatory actions or proceedings on our businesses, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity;
Uncertainty in our business practices and compensation arrangements with insurance carriers due to potential changes in regulations;

3


 

Regulatory changes that could reduce our profitability or growth by increasing compliance costs, technology compliance, restricting the products or services we may sell, the markets we may enter, the methods by which we may sell our products and services, or the prices we may charge for our services and the form of compensation we may accept from our customers, carriers and third parties;
Increasing scrutiny and changing expectations from investors and customers with respect to our environmental, social and governance practices;
A decrease in demand for liability insurance as a result of tort reform legislation;
Our failure to comply with any covenants contained in our debt agreements;
The possibility that covenants in our debt agreements could prevent us from engaging in certain potentially beneficial activities;
Changes in the U.S.-based credit markets that might adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition;
Risks associated with the current interest rate environment, and to the extent we use debt to finance our investments, changes in interest rates will affect our cost of capital and net investment income;
Changes in current U.S. or global economic conditions, including an extended slowdown in the markets in which we operate;
Disintermediation within the insurance industry, including increased competition from insurance companies, technology companies and the financial services industry, as well as the shift away from traditional insurance markets;
Conditions that result in reduced insurer capacity;
Quarterly and annual variations in our commissions that result from the timing of policy renewals and the net effect of new and lost business production;
Intangible asset risk, including the possibility that our goodwill may become impaired in the future;
Future pandemics, epidemics or outbreaks of infectious diseases, and the resulting governmental and societal responses;
Other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings; and
Other factors that the Company may not have currently identified or quantified.

 

Assumptions as to any of the foregoing, and all statements, are not based upon historical fact, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future results and events. Forward-looking statements that we make or that are made by others on our behalf are based upon a knowledge of our business and the environment in which we operate, but because of the factors listed above, among others, actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements. Consequently, these cautionary statements qualify all of the forward-looking statements we make herein. We cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that those results or developments will result in the expected consequences for us or affect us, our business or our operations in the way we expect. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made herein are made only as of the date of this filing, the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or correct any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that subsequently occur or of which the Company hereafter becomes aware.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 Nature of Operations

Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Brown & Brown” or the “Company”) is a diversified insurance agency, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs and service organization that markets and sells insurance products and services, primarily in the property, casualty and employee benefits areas. Brown & Brown’s business is divided into four reportable segments. The Retail Segment provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public and quasi-public entities, professional and individual insured customers, and non-insurance risk-mitigating products through our automobile and recreational vehicle dealer services (“F&I”) businesses. The National Programs Segment, which acts as a managing general agent (“MGA”), provides professional liability and related package products for certain professionals, a range of insurance products for individuals, flood coverage, and targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches, all of which are delivered through a nationwide network of independent agents, including Brown & Brown retail agents. The Wholesale Brokerage Segment markets and sells excess and surplus commercial and personal lines insurance, primarily through independent agents and brokers, as well as Brown & Brown retail agents. The Services Segment provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare Set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services and claims adjusting services.

The Company primarily operates as an agent or broker not assuming underwriting risks. However, we operate a write-your-own flood insurance carrier, Wright National Flood Insurance Company (“WNFIC”). WNFIC’s underwriting business consists of policies written pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”), the program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”). In addition, WNFIC writes excess flood policies that are fully reinsured by a private carrier. The Company also participates in two capitalized captive insurance facilities (the "Captives") for the purpose of facilitating additional underwriting capacity, generating incremental revenues and participating in underwriting results.

NOTE 2 Basis of Financial Reporting

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

None.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting." The amendments provide optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. These amendments, along with the amendments within ASU 2022-06 "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848" that extended the period of time preparers can utilize the reference rate reform relief guidance in Topic 848, are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2024. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 on February 10, 2023 in connection with enacting the transition provision in our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated October 27, 2021. Under the allowable expedients, a modification of a debt contract that is only a replacement of the reference rate is accounted for as a non-substantial modification. Adoption of this guidance had no impact on the Company's financial statements.

(1)
Base commissions generally represent a percentage of the premium paid by an insured and are affected by fluctuations in both premium rate levels charged by insurance companies and the insureds’ underlying “insurable exposure units,” which are units that insurance companies use to measure or express insurance exposed to risk (such as property values, or sales and payroll levels) to determine what premium to charge the insured. Insurance companies establish these premium rates based upon many factors, including loss experience, risk profile and reinsurance rates paid by such insurance companies, none of which we control.
(2)
Fee revenues relate to fees for services other than securing coverage for our customers, fees negotiated in lieu of commissions, and F&I products and services.

11


 

(3)
Other supplemental commissions include additional commissions over base commissions received from insurance carriers based on predetermined growth or production measures. This includes incentive commissions and guaranteed supplemental commissions.
(4)
Profit-sharing contingent commissions are based primarily on underwriting results, but may also reflect considerations for volume, growth and/or retention.
(5)
Earned premium relates to the premiums earned in the Captives.
(6)
Investment income consists primarily of interest on cash and investments.
(7)
Other income consists primarily of legal settlements and other miscellaneous income.
(8)
Fees within Other reflects the elimination of intercompany revenues.

Unbilled receivables (contract assets) arise when the Company recognizes revenue for amounts which have not yet been billed in the Company's systems and are reflected in commissions, fees and other receivables in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The increase in contract assets over the balance as of December 31, 2022 is due to normal seasonality, growth in our business, and from businesses acquired in the current year.

Deferred revenue (contract liabilities) relates to payments received in advance of performance under the contract before the transfer of a good or service to the customer. Deferred revenue is reflected within accrued expenses and other liabilities for those to be recognized in less than 12 months and in other liabilities for those to be recognized more than 12 months from the date presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

As of June 30, 2023, deferred revenue consisted of $69.9 million as the current portion to be recognized within one year and $41.6 million in long-term to be recognized beyond one year. As of December 31, 2022, deferred revenue consisted of $79.9 million as the current portion to be recognized within one year and $33.4 million in long-term deferred revenue to be recognized beyond one year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, the net amount of revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in a previous period was $21.5 million and $21.5 million, consisting of additional variable consideration received on our incentive and profit-sharing contingent commissions.

Other Assets and Deferred Cost

Incremental cost to obtain - The Company defers certain costs to obtain customer contracts primarily as they relate to commission-based compensation plans in the Retail Segment, in which the Company pays an incremental amount of compensation on new business. These incremental costs are deferred and amortized over a 15-year period. The cost to obtain balance within the other assets caption in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet was $86.0 million and $76.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company deferred $13.2 million of incremental cost to obtain customer contracts. The Company recorded an expense of $3.2 million associated with the incremental cost to obtain customer contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost to fulfill - The Company defers certain costs to fulfill contracts and recognizes these costs as the associated performance obligations are fulfilled. The cost to fulfill balance within the other current assets caption in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023 was $103.1 million. The cost to fulfill balance as of December 31, 2022 was $108.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had net expense of $9.9 million related to the release of previously deferred contract fulfillment costs associated with performance obligations that were satisfied in the period, net of current year deferrals for costs incurred that related to performance obligations yet to be fulfilled.

NOTE 4 Net Income Per Share

Basic net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares (including participating securities) issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus equivalent shares, assuming the issuance of all potentially issuable common shares. The dilutive effect of potentially issuable common shares is computed by application of the treasury stock method. The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

NOTE 5 Business Combinations

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, Brown & Brown acquired all of the stock of eight insurance intermediaries, purchased assets and assumed certain liabilities of three insurance intermediaries, and purchased two books of business (customer accounts) for a total of thirteen acquisitions. Additionally, adjustments were recorded to the purchase price allocation of certain prior acquisitions completed within the last 12 months as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 — Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Such adjustments are presented in the “Other” category in the following table. The recorded purchase price for all acquisitions includes an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of earn-out obligations will be recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred.

The fair value of earn-out obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the acquired business’s future performance is estimated using financial projections developed by management for the acquired business and reflects market participant assumptions regarding revenue growth and profitability. The expected future payments are estimated on the basis of the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement compared to the associated financial projections. These payments are then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the likelihood that the forecasted earn-out payments will be made.

Based on the acquisition date and the complexity of the underlying valuation work, certain amounts included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be provisional and thus subject to further adjustments within the permitted measurement period, as defined in ASC 805. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period that included a decrease to purchased customer accounts of $11.3 million and a decrease in goodwill of $9 million. These measurement period adjustments have been reflected as current period adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2023 in accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-16 “Business Combinations.” The measurement period adjustments had no effect on earnings or cash in the current period.

Cash paid for the thirteen acquisitions was $127.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. During the measurement periods, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the adjustments to the assets and liabilities as of that date. These adjustments are made in the period in which the amounts are determined, and the current period income effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the aggregate assets and liabilities acquired through the six months ended June 30, 2023 as of the date of each acquisition and adjustments made during the measurement period of the prior year acquisitions.

The other column represents a summarization of current year acquisitions with total consideration of less than $50.0 million per acquisition and adjustments from prior year acquisitions that were made within the permitted measurement period.

The Company has revised the provisional amounts in the measurement period for items for which the accounting was incomplete. Additional time was needed to obtain the information necessary, present at the date of the acquisition, to recognize all the items exchanged related to the acquisitions of Orchid Underwriters Agency, CrossCover Insurance Services and GRP (Jersey) Holdco Limited and its businesses ("GRP").

The weighted average useful lives for the acquired amortizable intangible assets are as follows: purchased customer accounts, 14.8 years; and non-compete agreements, 4.4 years.

Goodwill of $116.8 million, which is net of any opening balance sheet adjustments within the allowable measurement period, was allocated to the Retail, National Programs, and Wholesale Brokerage Segments in the amounts of $136.0 million, ($21.0) million, and $1.8 million, respectively. Of the total goodwill, $91.0 million relates to goodwill that will not be deductible for income tax purposes from acquisitions where we acquired the stock of the company, $16.8 million relates to goodwill that is currently deductible for income tax purposes, and the remaining $9.0 million relates to recorded earn-out payables which will not be deductible for income tax purposes until it is earned and paid.

For the acquisitions completed during 2023, the results of operations since the acquisition dates have been combined with those of the Company. The total revenues from the acquisitions completed through June 30, 2023, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $12.2 million. The income before income taxes from the acquisitions completed through June 30, 2023, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was $4.6 million. If the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the respective periods, the Company’s estimated results of operations would be as shown in the following table. These unaudited pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisitions actually been made at the beginning of the respective periods.

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the fair values of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables were re-evaluated and measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) as defined in ASC 820- Fair Value Measurement. The resulting additions, payments, and net changes, as well as the interest expense accretion on the estimated acquisition earn-out payables, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were as follows:

Of the $231.5 million estimated acquisition earn-out payables as of June 30, 2023, $126.5 million was recorded as accounts payable and $105.0 million was recorded as other non-current liabilities. As of June 30, 2023, the maximum future acquisition contingency payments related to all acquisitions was $550.0 million, inclusive of the $231.5 million estimated acquisition earn-out payables. There were three acquisition earn-out payables assumed in connection with the acquisition of GRP that included provisions with no maximum potential earn-out amount. The amount recorded for these acquisitions as of June 30, 2023 is $2.7 million. The Company deems a significant increase to this amount to be unlikely. Included within the additions to estimated acquisition earn-out payables are any adjustments to opening balance sheet items within the allowable measurement period, which may therefore differ from previously reported amounts.

Note agreements: On March 17, 2022, the Company completed the issuance of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.200% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.950% Senior Notes due 2052 (the “2052 Notes,” and together with the 2032 Notes, the “Notes”). The net proceeds to the Company from the issuance of the Notes, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, were approximately $1,178.2 million. The Senior Notes were given investment grade ratings of BBB- stable outlook and Baa3 stable outlook. The 2032 Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.200% per year and will mature on March 17, 2032. The 2052 Notes bear interest at the rate of 4.950% per year and will mature on March 17, 2052. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and will rank equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. The Company may redeem the Notes in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, at the “make whole” redemption prices specified in the Prospectus Supplement for the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to but excluding the redemption date. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering of the Notes, together with borrowings under its Revolving Credit Facility, cash on hand and other borrowings, to fund the cash consideration and other amounts payable in connection with our acquisition of GRP and to pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was a total outstanding debt balance of $1,200.0 million exclusive of the associated discount balance on both Notes.

The Company also maintains other notes from other issuances aggregating to a total outstanding debt balance of $1,550.0 million exclusive of the associated discount balance as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Credit agreements: On May 31, 2023, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $202.5 million on the term loan (the “Term Loan”) associated with the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) which was entered into on December 21, 2018 with cash of $32.5 million and $170.0 million with proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan was terminated early due to the agreement's benchmark reference rate to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which was due to cease on June 30, 2023. Since

17


 

the timing of repayment, an additional payment has occurred on the Revolving Credit Facility to bring the current outstanding balance to $100.0 million as of June 30, 2023.

On October 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., Truist Bank and BMO Harris Bank N.A. as co-syndication agents, and U.S. Bank National Association, Fifth Third Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, PNC Bank, National Association, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Citizens Bank, N.A. as co-documentation agents. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the credit agreement dated April 17, 2014, among certain of such parties, as amended by that certain amended and restated credit agreement dated June 28, 2017 (the “Original Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other certain terms, extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility of $800.0 million and unsecured term loans associated with the agreement of $250.0 million to October 27, 2026. At the time of the renewal, the Company added an additional $2.7 million in debt issuance costs related to the transaction. The Company carried forward $0.6 million of existing debt issuance costs related to the previous credit facility agreements while expensing $0.1 million in debt issuance costs due to certain lenders exiting the renewed facility agreement. On February 10, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 ("Amendment") of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provided that the overnight LIBOR should be replaced with a successor rate. The amendment also included additional terms and conditions for the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans and Risk-free Reference Rate ("RFR") loans.

On March 31, 2022 (the "Effective Date"), the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with the lenders named therein, BMO Harris Bank N.A., as administrative agent, Fifth Third Bank, National Association, PNC Bank, National Association, U.S. Bank National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as co-syndication agents and BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Truist Securities, Inc., as joint bookrunners and joint lead arrangers. The Loan Agreement evidences commitments for (i) unsecured delayed draw term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $300.0 million (the “Term A-1 Loan Commitment”) and (ii) unsecured delayed draw term loans in an amount of up to $500.0 million (the “Term A-2 Commitment” and, together with the Term A-1 Loan Commitments, the “Term Loan Commitments”). The Company may, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of additional term loan commitments by new or existing lenders, increase either Term Loan Commitment or the term loans issued thereunder or issue new tranches of term loans in an aggregate additional amount of up to $400.0 million. The Company may borrow term loans (the “Term Loans”) under either of the Term Loan Commitments during the period from the Effective Date until the date which is the first anniversary thereof. The Term Loans issued under the Term A-1 Loan Commitment (“Term A-1 Loans”) are due and payable on the date that is the third anniversary of the Effective Date unless such maturity date is extended as provided under the Loan Agreement. The Term Loans issued under the Term A-2 Loan Commitment (“Term A-2 Loans”) are repayable in installments until the fifth anniversary the Effective Date with any remaining outstanding amounts due and payable on such fifth anniversary of the Effective Date unless such maturity date is extended as provided under the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement includes various covenants (including financial covenants), limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there was an outstanding debt balance issued under the Term A-1 Loans of $300.0 million. As of June 30, 2023 there was an outstanding loan balance on the Term A-2 Loans of $468.7 million and as of December 31, 2022 the outstanding balance on the Term A-2 Loans was $481.3 million.

The Company also maintains other credit agreements that include term loans and a Revolving Credit Facility all having similar terms and covenants. The outstanding balances on the other term loans as of June 30, 2023 was $228.2 million and on December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on these term loans was $444.4 million. As of June 30, 2023 there was a balance of $100.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility and December 31, 2022 there was no outstanding balance on the Revolving Credit Facility.

The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and Loan Agreement require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain other covenants. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The 1-month Term SOFR Rate for the term loan of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is 5.202%, the 1-month Term SOFR Rate for the Term A-1 Loans is 5.182% and the 1-month Term SOFR Rate for the Term A-2 Loans is 5.236% as of June 30, 2023. These SOFR rates are inclusive of a 0.100% credit-spread adjustment per the terms of the relevant agreements.

NOTE 9 Leases

Substantially all of the Company's operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities represent real estate leases for office space used to conduct the Company's business that expire on various dates through 2041. Leases generally contain renewal options and escalation clauses based upon increases in the lessors’ operating expenses and other charges. The Company anticipates that most of these leases will be renewed or replaced upon expiration, although not necessarily for the same amount of space.

The Company assesses at inception of a contract if it contains a lease. This assessment is based on: (1) whether the contract involves the use of a distinct identified asset, (2) whether the Company obtains the right to substantially all the economic benefit from the use of the asset throughout the period, and (3) whether the Company has the right to direct the use of the asset.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which is primarily composed of the initial lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, less any lease incentives received. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the minimum lease payments through the term of the lease. Minimum lease payments are discounted to present value using the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date, which approximates the rate of interest the Company expects to pay on a secured borrowing in an amount equal to the

18


 

lease payments for the underlying asset under similar terms and economic conditions. The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a total term of 12 months or less. The effect of short-term leases on the Company's right-of-use asset and lease liability would not be significant.

The balances and classification of operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet is as follows:

As of June 30, 2023, the Company has entered into future lease agreements expected to commence later in 2023 consisting of undiscounted lease liabilities of $5.3 million.

Lease expense for operating leases consists of the lease payments, inclusive of lease incentives, plus any initial direct costs, and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Included in lease expense are any variable lease payments incurred in the period that were not included in the initial lease liability. Variable lease cost is lease payments that are based on an index or similar rate. They are initially measured using the index or rate in effect at lease commencement and are based on the minimum payments stated in the lease. Additional payments based on the change in an index or rate, or payments based on a change in the Company's portion of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded as a period expense when incurred.

NOTE 11 Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

The Company is involved in numerous pending or threatened proceedings by or against Brown & Brown, Inc. or one or more of its subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business. The damages that may be claimed against the Company in these various proceedings are in some cases substantial, including in certain instances claims for punitive or extraordinary damages. Some of these claims and lawsuits have been resolved; others are in the process of being resolved and others are still in the investigation or discovery phase. The Company will continue to respond appropriately to these claims and lawsuits and to vigorously protect its interests.

20


 

The Company continues to assess certain litigation and claims to determine the amounts, if any, that management believes will be paid as a result of such claims and litigation and, therefore, additional losses may be accrued and paid in the future, which could adversely impact the Company’s operating results, cash flows and overall liquidity. The Company maintains third-party insurance policies to provide coverage for certain legal claims, in an effort to mitigate its overall exposure to unanticipated claims or adverse decisions. However, as (i) one or more of the Company’s insurance carriers could take the position that portions of these claims are not covered by the Company’s insurance, (ii) to the extent that payments are made to resolve claims and lawsuits, applicable insurance policy limits are eroded and (iii) the claims and lawsuits relating to these matters are continuing to develop, it is possible that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by unfavorable resolutions of these matters. Based upon the AM Best Company ratings of these third-party insurers and other factors, management does not believe there is a substantial risk of an insurer’s material non-performance related to any current insured claims.

On the basis of current information, the availability of insurance and legal advice, in management’s opinion, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, operations and/or cash flows.

NOTE 12 Segment Information

Brown & Brown’s business is divided into four reportable segments: (1) the Retail Segment, which provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public and quasi-public entities, and to professional and individual customers, and non-insurance risk-mitigating products through our F&I businesses, (2) the National Programs Segment, which primarily acts as an MGA, provides professional liability and related package products for certain professionals, a range of insurance products for individuals, flood coverage, and targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches, all of which are delivered through nationwide networks of independent agents, and Brown & Brown retail agents, (3) the Wholesale Brokerage Segment, which markets and sells excess and surplus commercial and personal lines insurance, primarily through independent agents and brokers, as well as Brown & Brown retail agents, and (4) the Services Segment, which provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare Set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services and claims adjusting services.

Brown & Brown conducts most of its operations within the United States of America. International operations include Retail operations in England, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Ireland and Northern Ireland, National Programs operations in Canada and England, and Wholesale Brokerage operations based in England, Italy and Belgium. These operations earned $129.8 million and $20.3 million of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. These operations earned $247.6 million and $40.7 million of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Intersegment revenues are eliminated.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following tables.

Proceeds from the sales and maturity of the Company’s investment in fixed maturity securities and maturing time deposits were $5.8 million from the period of January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023. These proceeds were generally used to purchase an additional $6.2 million of fixed income securities and time deposits. Their gains or losses realized on the sale of securities for the period from January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023 were insignificant.

Realized gains and losses are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with the cost of securities sold determined on a specific identification basis.

At June 30, 2023, investments with a fair value of approximately $4.2 million were on deposit with state insurance departments to satisfy regulatory requirements.

NOTE 14 Insurance Company Subsidiary Operations

The National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”) is a program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) whereby the Company sells and services NFIP flood insurance policies on behalf of FEMA and receives fees for its services. Congressional authorization for the NFIP is periodically evaluated and may be subject to potential government shutdowns. The Company sells excess flood policies which are 100% ceded to a highly-rated reinsurance carrier. The Company also operates two Captives for the purpose of facilitating additional underwriting capacity and to participate in a portion of the underwriting results. One Captive participates on a quota share basis for policies placed by certain of our MGA businesses that are currently focused on property insurance for earthquake and wind exposed properties with a portion of premiums ceded to reinsurance companies, limiting, but not fully eliminating the Company's exposure to underwriting losses. The other Captive participates through excess of loss reinsurance layers associated with one of our MGA businesses focused on placements of personal property, excluding flood, primarily in the southeastern United States with one layer of per risk excess reinsurance and three layers of catastrophe ("CAT") per occurrence reinsurance. All four layers have limited reinstatements and therefore have capped, maximum aggregate limits. The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are as follows:

All premiums written by the Company under the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”) are 100% ceded to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, for which WNFIC received a 29.7% gross expense allowance from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023. For the period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023, the Company ceded $410.6 million of written premiums to FEMA, with $1.5 million ceded to highly rated carriers for excess flood policies which are not within the NFIP.

As of June 30, 2023 the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet contained reinsurance recoverable of $184.6 million and prepaid reinsurance premiums of $416.0 million which are related to the WNFIC business. For flood policies, there was no change in the balance in the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense net of reinsurance recoverable during the period January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023, as the Company's direct premiums written were 100% ceded to two reinsurers. The balance of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense for the Company, excluding related reinsurance recoverable, as of June 30, 2023 was $184.6 million.

WNFIC maintains capital in excess of the minimum statutory amount of $7.5 million as required by regulatory authorities. The unaudited statutory capital and surplus of WNFIC was $38.0 million at June 30, 2023 and $31.8 million as of December 31, 2022. For the period from

January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2023, WNFIC generated statutory net income of $7.8 million. For the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022, WNFIC generated statutory net income of $1.3 million. The maximum amount of ordinary dividends that WINFIC can pay to the shareholders in a rolling 12-month period is limited to the greater of 10% of statutory adjusted capital and surplus or 100% of adjusted net income. On April 28, 2023, WNFIC paid an ordinary dividend of $3.1 million. The dividend was declared and approved by the WNFIC Board of Directors by consent on March 17, 2023. There was no dividend payout in 2022. The maximum dividend payout that may be made in 2023 without prior approval is $3.2 million.

In December 2021, the initial funding to capitalize the quota share Captive was $5.9 million. This capital in addition to current earnings of $18.3 million through June 30, 2023, is considered at risk for loss. Assumed net written and net earned premiums for the quota share Captive for the six months ended June 30, 2023, were $33.3 million and $20.1 million, respectively. For six months ended June 30 2023 the ultimate loss expense inclusive of incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims was $9.3 million, of which $7.6 million is related to the estimated insured losses with Hurricane Ian. In connection with the estimated IBNR from Hurricane Ian claims, $2.7 million was recorded as estimated reinsurance recoverable for a net expected loss of $4.9 million. As of June 30, 2023, reported insured losses associated with Hurricane Ian were $2.1 million. As of June 30, 2023 the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet contained prepaid reinsurance premiums of $34.6 million related to the Captive's deferred acquisitions costs of $31.6 million, reinsurance payable for $17.0 million, and the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense, excluding related reinsurance recoverable, was $7.9 million. The first collateral release is expected in 2024 and is based on an IBNR factor times earned premium compared to the current collateral balance.

The excess of loss layer Captive was renewed in June 2023 with underlying reinsurance treaties effective from June 1 through May 31, 2024. This Captive’s maximum underwriting exposure is $3.0 million. Assumed net earned premiums for the Captive for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $1.6 million. As of June 30, 2023 the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet contained the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense of $6.3 million of which $6.0 million is related to Hurricane Ian.

ITEM 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion updates the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, and the two discussions should be read together.

GENERAL

Company Overview — Second Quarter of 2023

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to those Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, please see “Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below regarding important information on non-GAAP financial measures contained in our discussion and analysis.

We are a diversified insurance agency, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs and services organization headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida. As an insurance intermediary, our principal sources of revenue are commissions paid by insurance companies and, to a lesser extent, fees paid directly by customers. Commission revenues generally represent a percentage of the premium paid by an insured and are affected by fluctuations in both premium rate levels charged by insurance companies and the insureds’ underlying “insurable exposure units,” which are units that insurance companies use to measure or express insurance exposed to risk (such as property values, sales or payroll levels) to determine what premium to charge the insured. Insurance companies establish these premium rates based upon many factors, including loss experience, risk profile and reinsurance rates paid by such insurance companies, none of which we control. We also participate in capitalized captive insurance facilities (the "Captives") for the purpose of having additional capacity to place coverage, drive additional revenues and to participate in underwriting profit. The Company has traditionally participated in underwriting profits through profit-sharing contingent commissions. These Captives provide us another way to deliver revenue growth and further participate in underwriting results, while limiting exposure to claims expenses. The Captives focus on property insurance for earthquake and wind exposed properties underwritten by certain of our managing general agents. The Captives limit the Company's exposure to claims expenses either through reinsurance or by only participating in certain tranches of the underwriting.

The volume of business from new and existing customers, fluctuations in insurable exposure units, changes in premium rate levels, changes in general economic and competitive conditions, a health pandemic, a reduction of purchased limits, or the occurrence of catastrophic weather events all affect our revenues. For example, higher levels of inflation, generally increase the value of insurable exposure units, or a decline in economic activity, could decrease the value or amount of insurable exposure units. Conversely, increasing costs of litigation settlements and/or awards could cause some customers to seek higher levels of insurance coverage. Historically, we have grown our revenues as a result of our focus on net new business and acquisitions. We foster a strong, decentralized sales and service culture, which enables responsiveness to changing business conditions and drives accountability for results.

The term “core commissions and fees” excludes profit-sharing contingent commissions, and therefore represents the revenues earned directly from specific insurance policies sold, and specific fee-based services rendered. The net change in core commissions and fees reflects the aggregate changes attributable to: (i) net new and lost accounts; (ii) net changes in our customers’ exposure units; (iii) net changes in insurance premium rates or the commission rate paid to us by our carrier partners; (iv) the net change in fees paid to us by our customers; and (v) any businesses acquired or disposed of.

We also earn profit-sharing contingent commissions, which are commissions based primarily on underwriting results, but in select situations may reflect additional considerations for volume, growth and/or retention. These commissions, which are included in our commissions and fees in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, are accrued throughout the year based on actual premiums written and are primarily received in the first and second quarters of each subsequent year, based upon the aforementioned considerations for the prior year(s). Over the last three years, profit-sharing contingent commissions have averaged approximately 3.0% of commissions and fees revenue.

Fee revenues relate to services other than securing coverage for our customers, and for fees negotiated in lieu of commissions. Fee revenues are generated by: (i) our Services Segment, which is primarily a fee-based business that provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare Set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services, and claims adjusting services; (ii) our National Programs and Wholesale Brokerage Segments, which earn fees primarily for the issuance of insurance policies on behalf of insurance companies; and (iii) our Retail Segment in our large-account customer base, where we primarily earn fees for securing insurance for our customers, and in our automobile and recreational vehicle dealer services (“F&I”) businesses where we earn fees for assisting our customers with creating and selling warranty and service risk management programs. Fee revenues as a percentage of our total commissions and fees, represented 25.8% in 2022 and 27.4% in 2021.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, our total commissions and fees growth rate was 23.5%, and our consolidated Organic Revenue growth rate was 11.2%.

Historically, investment income has consisted primarily of interest earnings on operating cash and where permitted, on premiums and advance premiums collected and held in a fiduciary capacity before being remitted to insurance companies. Our policy as it relates to the Company’s capital is to invest available funds in high-quality, short-term money-market funds and fixed income investment securities. Investment income also includes gains and losses realized from the sale of investments. Other income primarily reflects other miscellaneous revenues.

26


 

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased from the second quarter of 2022 by $55.6 million or 28.0%, driven by net new business, expanding our operating margins and acquisitions completed in the past 12 months.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

In the discussion and analysis of our results of operations, in addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide references to the following non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G of the SEC rules: Total Revenues - Adjusted, Organic Revenue, EBITDAC, EBITDAC Margin, EBITDAC - Adjusted and EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted. We present these measures because we believe such information is of interest to the investment community and because we believe it provides additional meaningful methods to evaluate the Company’s operating performance from period to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent on a GAAP basis due to the impact of certain items having a high degree of variability and that we believe are not indicative of ongoing performance. This non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, the Company’s consolidated income statements and balance sheets as of the relevant date. Consistent with Regulation G, a description of such information is provided below and tabular reconciliations of this supplemental non-GAAP financial information to our most comparable GAAP information are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Results of Operations - Segment Information.”

We view Organic Revenue and Organic Revenue growth as important indicators when assessing and evaluating our performance on a consolidated basis and for each of our four segments, because it allows us to determine a comparable, but non-GAAP, measurement of revenue growth that is associated with the revenue sources that were a part of our business in both the current and prior year and that are expected to continue in the future. We also view Total Revenues - Adjusted, EBITDAC, EBITDAC - Adjusted, EBITDAC Margin and EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted as important indicators when assessing and evaluating our performance, as they present more comparable measurements of our operating margins in a meaningful and consistent manner. As disclosed in our most recent proxy statement, we use Organic Revenue growth, and EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted as key performance metrics for our short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans for executive officers and other key employees.

Non-GAAP Revenue Measures

Total Revenues - Adjusted is our total revenues, excluding Foreign Currency Translation (as defined below).
Organic Revenue is our core commissions and fees less: (i) the core commissions and fees earned for the first 12 months by newly acquired operations; (ii) divested business (core commissions and fees generated from offices, books of business or niches sold or terminated during the comparable period); and (iii) Foreign Currency Translation (as defined below). The term “core commissions and fees” excludes profit-sharing contingent commissions and therefore represents the revenues earned directly from specific insurance policies sold and specific fee-based services rendered. Organic Revenue can be expressed as a dollar amount or a percentage rate when describing Organic Revenue growth.

Non-GAAP Earnings Measures

EBITDAC is defined as income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables.
EBITDAC Margin is defined as EBITDAC divided by total revenues.
EBITDAC - Adjusted is defined as EBITDAC, excluding (i) (gain)/loss on disposal, (ii) Acquisition/Integration Costs (as defined below), (iii) for 2023, the 1Q23 Nonrecurring Cost (as defined below) and (iv) Foreign Currency Translation (as defined below).
EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted is defined as EBITDAC - Adjusted divided by Total Revenues - Adjusted.

Definitions Related to Certain Components of Non-GAAP Measures

“Acquisition/Integration Costs” means the acquisition and integration costs (e.g., costs associated with regulatory filings, legal/accounting services, due diligence and the costs of integrating our information technology systems) arising out of our acquisitions of GRP (Jersey) Holdco Limited and its businesses ("GRP"), Orchid Underwriters Agency and CrossCover Insurance Services ("Orchid"), and BdB Limited companies ("BdB"), which are not considered to be normal, recurring or part of the ongoing operations.
“Foreign Currency Translation” means the period-over period impact of foreign currency translation, which is calculated by applying current-year foreign exchange rates to the various functional currencies in our business to our reporting currency of U.S. dollars for the same period in the prior year.
“1Q23 Nonrecurring Cost” means approximately $11.0 million expensed and substantially paid in the first quarter of 2023 to resolve a business matter, which is not considered to be normal, recurring or part of the ongoing operations.

 

27


 

Our 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 and, therefore comparability may be limited. This supplemental non-GAAP financial information should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions

Part of our continuing business strategy is to attract high-quality insurance intermediaries to join our operations. From 1993 through the second quarter of 2023, we acquired 624 insurance intermediary operations.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have had no changes to our Critical Accounting Policies as described in our most recent Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. We believe that of our significant accounting and reporting policies, the more critical policies include our accounting for revenue recognition, business combinations and purchase price allocations including potential earn-out obligations, intangible asset impairments, non-cash stock-based compensation and reserves for litigation. In particular, the accounting for these areas requires significant use of judgment to be made by management. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for details regarding our critical and significant accounting policies.

Commissions and Fees

Commissions and fees, including profit-sharing contingent commissions, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $197.2 million to $1,035.9 million, or 23.5%, over the same period in 2022. Core commissions and fees revenue for the second quarter of 2023 increased $185.7 million or 22.7%, composed of: (i) approximately $89.8 million of net new and renewal business, which reflects an Organic Revenue growth rate of 11.2%; (ii) $108.0 million from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2022; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation of $0.1 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $12.0 million related to commissions and fees revenue from business divested in the preceding twelve months. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the second quarter of 2023 increased by $11.5 million, or 52.0%, compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was driven primarily by acquisition activity and qualifying for or receiving additional profit-sharing contingent commissions in the current year as compared to the prior year.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, commissions and fees, including profit-sharing contingent commissions, increased $400.8 million to $2,143.9 million, or 23.0%, over the same period in 2022. Core commissions and fees revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $391.1 million or 23.1%, composed of: (i) approximately $197.6 million of net new and renewal business, which reflects an Organic Revenue growth rate of 11.9%; (ii) $221.9 million from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2022; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact from foreign currency translation of $0.8 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $27.6 million related to commissions and fees revenue from businesses divested in the preceding 12 months. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $9.7 million, or 19.1%, compared to the same period in 2022. This increase was driven primarily by acquisition activity along with qualifying for or receiving additional profit-sharing contingent commissions in the current year as compared to the prior year.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $9.9 million, from the same period in 2022. Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $16.7 million, from the same period in 2022. The increases were primarily driven by higher average interest rates compared to the prior year.

Other Income

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $0.5 million to $1.1 million as compared to the same period in 2022. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $1.3 million, or 162.5%, as compared to the same period in 2022. Other income consists primarily of other miscellaneous income and therefore can fluctuate between comparable periods.

Employee Compensation and Benefits

Employee compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of total revenues was 50.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 49.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2022, and increased 28.7%, or $118.1 million. This increase included $54.9 million of compensation costs related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2022. Therefore, employee compensation and benefits expense attributable to those offices that existed in the same time periods of 2023 and 2022 increased by $63.2 million, or 15.4%. This underlying employee compensation and benefits expense increase was primarily related to: (i) an increase in staff salaries and bonuses attributable to new hires and salary inflation; (ii) an increase in producer compensation associated with revenue growth and (iii) the year-over-year increase of approximately $23.1 million in the value of deferred compensation liabilities driven by changes in the market prices of our employees' investment elections associated with our deferred compensation plan, with such amount substantially offset within other operating expenses as we hold assets to fund these liabilities that closely match the investment elections of our employees.

Employee compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of total revenues was 50.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to 49.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022, and increased 26.4%, or $230.3 million. This increase included $110.7 million of compensation costs related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2022. Therefore, employee compensation and benefits expense attributable to those offices that existed in the same time periods of 2023 and 2022 increased by $119.6 million, or 13.8%. This underlying employee compensation and benefits expense increase was primarily related to: (i) an increase in staff salaries and bonuses attributable to new hires and salary inflation; (ii) an increase in producer compensation associated with revenue growth and (iii) the year-over-year increase of approximately $37.8 million in the value of deferred compensation liabilities driven by changes in the market prices of our employees' investment elections associated with our deferred compensation plan, with such amount substantially offset within other operating expenses as we hold assets to fund these liabilities that closely match the investment elections of our employees.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses represented 15.5% of total revenues for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 18.3% for the second quarter of 2022. Other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2023 increased $8.0 million, or 5.2%, from the same period of 2022. The

29


 

net increase included: (i) $22.8 million of other operating expenses related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2022; (ii) increased variable costs with travel and entertainment being the largest driver, and; (iii) an increase in the cost of information technology, partially offset by; (iv) the year-over-year decrease of approximately $23.1 million in the value of assets held to fund the associated liabilities within our deferred compensation plan, which was substantially offset within employee compensation and benefits as noted above, and; (v) a decrease in legal related costs.

Other operating expenses represented 14.9% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to 16.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Other operating expenses for the first six months of 2023 increased $41.9 million, or 14.9%, from the same period of 2022. The net increase included: (i) $49.6 million of other operating expenses related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2022; (ii) expenses of approximately $11.0 million to resolve a business matter during the first quarter of 2023 which is not considered to be normal, recurring or part of the ongoing operations; (iii) increased variable costs with travel and entertainment being the largest driver, and; (iv) an increase in the cost of information technology, partially offset by; (v) the year-over-year decrease of approximately $37.8 million in the value of assets held to fund the associated liabilities within our deferred compensation plan, which was substantially offset within employee compensation and benefits as noted above, and; (vi) a decrease in legal related costs.

(Gain)/Loss on Disposal

Gain on disposal for the second quarter of 2023 decreased $0.3 million from the second quarter of 2022. Gain on disposal for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $5.2 million from the six months ended June 30, 2022. The gains on disposal were due to activity associated with book of business sales. Although we do not routinely sell businesses or customer accounts, we periodically sell an office or a book of business (one or more customer accounts) that we believe does not produce reasonable margins or demonstrate a potential for growth, or because doing so is in the Company’s best interest.

Amortization

Amortization expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased $7.6 million, or 22.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $17.9 million, or 27.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. These increases reflect the amortization of new intangibles from businesses acquired within the past 12 months, partially offset by certain intangible assets becoming fully amortized.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased $1.3 million, or 14.6%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $3.0 million, or 17.5%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. Changes in depreciation expense reflect net additions of fixed assets resulting from businesses acquired in the past 12 months and the addition of fixed assets resulting from business initiatives, which were partially offset by fixed assets that became fully depreciated.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2023 increased $11.9 million, or 33.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2022. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $40.3 million, or 74.2%, compared to the first six months of 2022. These increases were due to higher average debt balances resulting from debt issuance and bank financing in the first quarter of 2022 to fund the acquisitions of Orchid, GRP, and BdB, as well as increases in the floating-rate benchmark used on our adjustable-rate debt.

Change in Estimated Acquisition Earn-Out Payables

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805-Business Combinations is the authoritative guidance requiring an acquirer to recognize 100% of the fair value of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities (with only limited exceptions) upon initially obtaining control of an acquired entity. Additionally, the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements (such as earn-out purchase price arrangements) at the acquisition date must be included in the purchase price consideration. The recorded purchase price for acquisitions includes an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in these earn-out obligations are required to be recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income when incurred or reasonably estimated. Estimations of potential earn-out obligations are typically based upon future earnings of the acquired operations or entities, usually for periods ranging from one to three years.

The net charge or credit to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the period is the combination of the net change in the estimated acquisition earn-out payables balance, and the interest expense imputed on the outstanding balance of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables.

As of June 30, 2023 and 2022, the fair values of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables were re-evaluated based upon projected operating results and measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) as defined in ASC 820-Fair Value Measurement. The resulting net changes, as well as the interest expense accretion on the estimated acquisition earn-out payables, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2023, the fair value of estimated earn-out payables was re-evaluated and resulted in an immaterial change and a decrease of $4.3 million, respectively, which resulted in a credit to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

As of June 30, 2023, estimated acquisition earn-out payables totaled $231.5 million, of which $126.5 million was recorded as accounts payable and $105.0 million was recorded as other non-current liabilities.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 25.2% and 27.0% respectively. The effective tax rate on income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 22.4% and 21.2%, respectively. The
increase for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven primarily by the lower tax benefit associated with incremental vesting of restricted stock awards in the first half 2023 as compared to the first half of 2022.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — SEGMENT INFORMATION

As discussed in Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we operate four reportable segments: Retail, National Programs, Wholesale Brokerage, and Services. On a segmented basis, changes in amortization, depreciation and interest expenses generally result from activity associated with acquisitions. Likewise, other revenues in each segment reflects net gains primarily from legal settlements and miscellaneous income. As such, in evaluating the operational efficiency of a segment, management primarily focuses on the Organic Revenue growth rate and EBITDAC Margin.

The reconciliation of commissions and fees included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to Organic Revenue, a non-GAAP financial measure, for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, including by segment, and the growth rates for Organic Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023, including by segment, are as follows:

The Retail Segment’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 25.5%, or $116.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $574.5 million. The $110.5 million increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) approximately $87.4 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2022; (ii) an increase of $27.8 million related to net new and renewal business; (iii) an increase from the impact of foreign currency translation of $0.2 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $4.9 million related to commissions and fees recorded in 2022 from businesses since divested. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the second quarter of 2023 increased 59.6%, or $5.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $15.0 million. This increase was primarily the result of recent acquisitions and to a lesser extent qualifying for certain profit-sharing contingent commissions in 2023 that we did not qualify for in the prior year. The Retail Segment’s total commissions and fees increased by 24.7%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 6.3% for the second quarter of 2023. The Organic Revenue growth rate was driven by net new business written during the preceding 12 months and growth on renewals of existing customers. Renewal business was impacted by rate increases in most lines of business with continued increases in property, employee benefits, and excess liability, partially offset by moderation in the rates for professional liability and continued premium rate reductions in workers’ compensation. This growth was partially offset by a decline in revenue within our automobile and recreational vehicle dealer services ("F&I") businesses due to the slowdown in automobile industry.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 27.4%, or $22.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $105.1 million. The primary factors driving this increase were: (i) the profit associated with the net increase in revenue as described above, partially offset by; (ii) an increase to the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables, (iii) amortization and depreciation expenses growing faster than total revenues.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 26.0%, or $33.7 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $163.4 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased to 28.4% from 28.3% in the same

36


 

period in 2022. The increase in EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted was driven by: (i) the net increase in revenue as listed above, (ii) the seasonality of profit for certain businesses, (iii) increased profit-sharing contingent commissions, partially offset by, (iv) higher compensation costs, which were driven by hiring more employees to support our current and future growth, inflation and non-cash stock based compensation.

The Retail Segment’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 22.2%, or $234.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $1,288.0 million. The $229.6 million increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) approximately $166.0 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2022; (ii) an increase of $77.9 million related to net new and renewal business; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation of $0.2 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $14.1 million related to commissions and fees recorded in 2022 from businesses since divested. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the six months of 2023 increased 10.9%, or $3.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $30.4 million. The Retail Segment’s total commissions and fees increased by 22.4%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 7.7% for the first six months of 2023. The Organic Revenue growth rate was driven by net new business written during the preceding 12 months and growth on renewals of existing customers. Renewal business was impacted by rate increases in most lines of business with continued increases in commercial property & casualty, employee benefits, professional and excess liability, and condo partially offset by continued premium rate reductions in workers’ compensation. This growth was partially offset by a decline in revenue within our automobile and recreational vehicle dealer services ("F&I") businesses due to the slowdown in automobile industry.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 18.3%, or $48.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $315.4 million. The primary factors driving this increase were: (i) the profit associated with the net increase in revenue as described above; (ii) the drivers of EBITDAC described below; (iii) amortization and depreciation growing faster than total revenues; and (iv) a decrease in the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 18.9%, or $67.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $427.2 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to 33.2% from 34.1% in the same period in 2022. The decrease in EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted was primarily driven by increased variable operating expenses, which are largely travel and meeting related, and to a lesser extent higher compensation costs, which were driven by hiring more employees to support our current and future growth, inflation and non-cash stock based compensation, and certain one-time expenses.

National Programs Segment

The National Programs Segment manages over 40 programs supported by approximately 100 well-capitalized carrier partners. In most cases, the insurance carriers that support these programs have delegated underwriting and, in many instances, claims-handling authority to our programs' operations. These programs are generally distributed through a nationwide network of independent agents and Brown & Brown retail agents, and offer targeted products and services designed for specific industries, trade groups, professions, public entities and market niches. This segment also operates our write-your-own flood insurance carrier as well as two Captives. The flood insurance carrier's underwriting business consists of policies written under and fully ceded to the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”). The Captives provide additional underwriting capacity and participate in underwriting results, one on a quota share basis, currently focused on property insurance for earthquake and wind exposed properties for policies placed by certain of our MGA businesses, and the other through excess of loss reinsurance layers associated with placements made by another of our MGA businesses focused on personal property primarily in the southeastern United States.

The National Programs Segment operations can be grouped into five broad categories: Professional Programs, Personal Lines Programs, Commercial Programs, Public Entity-Related Programs and Specialty Programs. Approximately 76.1% of the National Programs Segment’s commissions and fees revenue is commission based.

The National Programs Segment’s total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 25.5%, or $57.6 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $283.3 million. The $50.9 million increased in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) approximately $48.7 million of net new, renewal business, and fee revenues; (ii) $8.0 million from acquisitions that had no comparable
revenues in the same period of 2022; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact of Foreign Currency Translation of $0.3 million; and (iv) an
offsetting decrease of $5.5 million related to commissions and fees revenue from business divested in the preceding 12 months. Profit-sharing

38


 

contingent commissions for the second quarter of 2023 increased approximately $4.8 million or 46.6% as compared to the second quarter of 2022. This increase was driven by better-than-expected claims loss development associated with Hurricane Ian in 2022 and activity from recent acquisitions.

The National Programs Segment’s total commissions and fees increased by 23.7%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 23.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The Organic Revenue growth was driven by strong new business, good retention, continued rate increases especially for CAT-exposed property, and modest exposure unit expansion.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 55.4%, or $42.4 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $118.9 million. Income before income taxes increased due to the drivers of EBITDAC described below along with a decrease in intercompany interest expense, and depreciation, offset by an increase in amortization.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 40.1%, or $40.2 million, from the same period in 2022, to $140.4 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased to 49.6% from 44.5% in the same period in 2022. EBITDAC – Adjusted grew by leveraging our expense base in connection with strong growth of Total Revenues - Adjusted.

The National Programs Segment’s total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 32.3%, or $125.2 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $513.1 million. The $117.3 million increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) approximately $99.2 million of net new, renewal business, and fee revenues; (ii) $28.1 million from acquisitions that had no comparable
revenues in the same period of 2022; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact of Foreign Currency Translation of $0.6 million; and (iv) an
offsetting decrease of $9.4 million related to commissions and fees revenue from business divested in the preceding 12 months. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased approximately $4.7 million or 25.7% as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to better-than-expected claims loss development associated with Hurricane Ian in 2022 and activity from recent acquisitions.

The National Programs Segment’s total commissions and fees increased by 31.8%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 27.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The Organic Revenue growth was driven primarily by strong new business and rate increases, and modest exposure unit expansion, as well as claims revenue associated with Hurricane Ian.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 62.7%, or $74.1 million, from the same period in 2022, to $192.2 million. Income before income taxes increased due to the drivers of EBITDAC described below. This was partially offset by an increase in intercompany interest expense and increased amortization expense.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 50.1%, or $77.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $230.8 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased to 45.0% from 39.7% in the same period in 2022. EBITDAC - Adjusted increased due to leveraging our expense base in connection with strong growth of Total Revenues - Adjusted.

NMF = Not a meaningful figure

The Wholesale Brokerage Segment’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 23.8%, or $26.7 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $139.1 million. The $25.2 million net increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven primarily by: (i) $14.2 million related to net new and renewal business; and (ii) $12.6 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2022; partially offset by (iii) a decrease of $1.6 million related to commissions and fees recorded in 2022 from a business since divested. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the second quarter of 2023 increased $1.1 million compared to the second quarter of 2022, primarily driven by acquired businesses in the last year. The Wholesale Brokerage Segment’s growth rate for total commissions and fees was 22.9%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 13.1% for the second quarter of 2023. The Organic Revenue growth rate was driven by good new business and retention as well as rate increases for most lines of business, with the exception of professional liability that moderated downward.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 10.9%, or $3.7 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $37.5 million. The increase was due to: (i) the drivers of EBITDAC - Adjusted described below; and (ii) lower intercompany interest expense; partially offset by (iii) an increase in the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables; and (iv) higher amortization expense.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased 20.3%, or $7.4 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $43.9 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to 31.6% from 32.5%, as compared to the same period in 2022. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted decreased due to: (i) certain nonrecurring operating expenses that offset (ii) strong Organic Revenue growth; (iii) higher profit-sharing contingent commissions; and (iv) leveraging our expense base.

The Wholesale Brokerage Segment’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 21.9%, or $47.2 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $262.5 million. The $44.7 million net increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven primarily by: (i) $27.8 million related to core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2022; and (ii) $21.0 million related to net new and renewal business; and partially offset by (iii) a decrease of $4.1 million related to commissions and fees recorded in 2022 from a business since divested. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the first six months of 2023 increased approximately $2.0 million compared to the same period of 2022. The Wholesale Brokerage Segment’s growth rate for total commissions and fees was 21.3%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 10.2% for the first six months of 2023. The Organic Revenue growth rate was driven by good new business and retention as well as rate increases for most lines of coverage.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 15.5%, or $9.2 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $68.7 million due to: (i) the drivers of EBITDAC - Adjusted described below; (ii) decrease in the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables; and (iii) lower intercompany interest expense; partially offset by (iv) acquisition/integration costs.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased 18.7%, or $12.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $81.9 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to 31.2% from 32.0% in the same period in 2022. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted decreased due to: (i) certain nonrecurring operating expenses; (ii) higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense; and (iii) increased variable operating expenses, which are primarily travel and meeting related; that offset (i) strong Organic Revenue growth; (ii) higher profit-sharing contingent commissions; and (iii) leveraging our expense base.

Services Segment

The Services Segment provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas. The Services Segment also provides Medicare Set-aside account services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services, and claims adjusting services.

Unlike the other segments, nearly all of the Services Segment’s revenue is generated from fees, which are not significantly affected by fluctuations in general insurance premiums.

NMF = Not a meaningful figure

The Services Segment’s total revenues and Organic Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 1.8%, or $0.8 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $43.2 million. The Organic Revenue decline for the second quarter of 2023 was driven by external factors continuing to impact our Social Security disability advocacy businesses and a decline in Medicare compliance referrals, which offset an increase in claim processing revenue in other businesses.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 13.6%, or $0.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2022, to $5.7 million. Income before income taxes decreased due to the drivers of EBITDAC - Adjusted described below.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 12.5%, or $1.1 million, from the same period in 2022, to $7.7 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to 17.8% from 20.0% in the same period in 2022. The decrease in EBITDAC and EBITDAC Margin was driven primarily by the reduction in revenue and inflation.

The Services Segment’s total revenues and Organic Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 0.1%, or $0.1 million from the same period in 2022, to $87.5 million. The decrease in Organic Revenue was caused primarily by: (i) claim volume driven by winter CAT activity in 2022, and (ii) continued external factors impacting our advocacy businesses; which offset growth in several of our businesses.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $2.3 million, or 17.4%, from the same period in 2022, to $10.9 million. Income before income taxes decreased due to the drivers of EBITDAC described below.

EBITDAC - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased 15.3%, or $2.7 million, from the same period in 2022, to $15.0 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased to 17.1% from 20.2% in the same period in 2022. The decrease in EBITDAC and EBITDAC Margin were driven primarily the reduction in revenue, higher salary and related costs along with certain one-time expenses.

Other

As discussed in Note 12 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the “Other” column in the Segment Information table includes any revenue and expenses not allocated to reportable segments, and corporate-related items, including the intercompany interest expense charges to reporting segments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company seeks to maintain a conservative balance sheet and strong liquidity profile. Our capital requirements to operate as an insurance intermediary are low and we have been able to grow and invest in our business principally through cash that has been generated from operations. We have the ability to utilize our Revolving Credit Facility, which as of June 30, 2023 provided up to $700.0 million in available cash. We believe that we have access to additional funds, if needed, through the capital markets or private placements to obtain further debt financing under the current market conditions. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment portfolio and funds generated from operations, together with the funds available under the Revolving Credit Facility, will be sufficient to satisfy our normal liquidity needs, including principal payments on our long-term debt, for at least the next 12 months and thereafter.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains an expansion option for up to an additional $500.0 million of borrowing capacity, subject to the approval of participating lenders. On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement") which provided term loan capacity of $800.0 million. Additionally, the Company may, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, including receipt of additional term loan commitments by new or existing lenders, increase either Term Loan Commitment under the existing Loan Agreement or the term loans issued thereunder or issue new tranches of term loans in an aggregate additional amount of up to $400.0 million. Including the expansion options under all existing credit agreements, the Company has access to up to $1.6 billion of incremental borrowing capacity as of June 30, 2023.

Includes $231.5 million of current and non-current estimated acquisition earn-out payables. Earn-out payables for acquisitions not denominated in U.S. dollars are measured at the current foreign exchange rate. three of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables assumed in connection with the acquisition of GRP included provisions with no maximum potential earn-out amount. The amount recorded for these acquisitions as of June 30, 2022 is $2.7 million. The Company deems a significant increase to this amount to be unlikely.
(3)
Does not include approximately $32.6 million of current liability for a dividend of $0.1150 per share approved by the Board of Directors on July 19, 2023.

Debt

Total debt at June 30, 2023 was $3,815.5 million net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, which was a decrease of $126.7 million compared to December 31, 2022. The decrease includes: the scheduled principal payments related to our various existing floating-rate debt term notes in total of $128.8 million; offset by the amortization of discounted debt related to our various unsecured Senior Notes, and debt issuance cost amortization of $2.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repaid $6.3 million of principal related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement term loan through the quarterly scheduled principal payments. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement term loan had an outstanding balance of $228.1 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company's next scheduled principal payment is due September 30, 2023 and is equal to $3.1 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repaid the full balance of $210.0 million of principal related to the Term Loan Credit Agreement through quarterly scheduled principal payments and refinanced a portion of the loan on the Revolving Credit Facility.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repaid $12.5 million of principal related to the Term Loans issued under the Term A-2 Loan Commitment (“Term A-2 Loans”) through quarterly scheduled principal payments. The Term A-2 Loans had an outstanding balance of $468.8 million as of June 30, 2023. The Company’s next scheduled principal payment is due September 30, 2023 and is equal to $6.3 million.

On October 27, 2021, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent, Bank of America, N.A., Truist Bank and BMO Harris Bank N.A. as co-syndication agents, and U.S. Bank National Association, Fifth Third Bank, National Association, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, PNC Bank, National Association, Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. and Citizens Bank, N.A. as co-documentation agents. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the credit agreement dated April 17, 2014, among certain of such parties, as amended by that certain amended and restated credit agreement dated June 28, 2017 (the “Original Credit Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, among other certain terms, extended the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility of $800.0 million and unsecured term loans associated with the agreement of $250.0 million to October 27, 2026. At the time of the renewal, the Company added an additional $2.7 million in debt issuance costs related to the transaction. The Company carried forward $0.6 million of existing debt issuance costs related to the previous credit facility agreements while expensing $0.1 million in debt issuance costs due to certain lenders exiting the renewed facility agreement. On February 10, 2023, the Company entered into Amendment No.1 ("Amendment") of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement which provided that the overnight London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) should be replaced with a successor rate. The amendment also included additional terms and conditions for the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) loans and Risk-free Reference Rate ("RFR") loans.

On May 31, 2023, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $202.5 million on the term loan (the “Term Loan”) associated with the Term Loan Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) which was entered into on December 21, 2018 with cash proceeds of $32.5 million and $170.0 million with proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility. The Term Loan was terminated early due to the agreement's benchmark reference rate to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) which was due to cease on June 30, 2023. Since the timing of repayment, an additional payment has occurred on the Revolving Credit Facility to bring the current outstanding balance to $100.0 million as of June 30, 2023.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. We are exposed to market risk through our investments, revolving credit line, term loan agreements and international operations.

Our invested assets are held primarily as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, available-for-sale marketable debt securities, non-marketable debt securities, certificates of deposit, U.S. Treasury securities, and professionally managed short-term duration fixed income funds. These investments are subject to interest rate risk. The fair value of our invested assets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 approximated their respective carrying values due to their short-term duration and therefore, such market risk is not considered to be material.

We do not actively invest or trade in equity securities. In addition, we generally dispose of any significant equity securities received in conjunction with an acquisition shortly after the acquisition date.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $1,096.9 million outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and the Loan Agreement tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). These aforementioned notes bear interest on a floating basis and are therefore subject to changes in the associated interest expense. The effect of an immediate hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The majority of our international operations do not have material transactions in currencies other than their functional currency which would expose the Company to transactional currency rate risk. We are subject to translational exchange rate risk having businesses operating outside of the U.S. in the following functional currencies, British pounds, Canadian dollar, and euros. Based upon our foreign currency rate exposure as of June 30, 2023, an immediate 10% hypothetical change of foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (“Disclosure Controls”) as of June 30, 2023. Based upon the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the Evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are supplied in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains the information concerning the evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
