NOTES TO CONDEN****SED 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 two reportable segments. The Retail segment provides a broad range of risk management products and services to commercial, public and quasi-public entities, and to professional and individual customers. These products and services include property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, employee benefits, private client services, captive solutions, consulting services and financial and wealth solutions, as well as non-insurance warranty services and products through the Retail segment’s automobile and recreational vehicle dealer services (“F&I”) businesses. The Specialty Distribution segment consists of our programs, wholesale brokerage and specialty businesses. The programs businesses, which act as managing general underwriters (“MGUs”), provide targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches, which are delivered to the insured directly, to affinity groups, through wholesale brokers or through a global network of independent agents, including Brown & Brown retail agents. These products and services include specialty property and casualty insurance, financial lines, life and health benefits, reinsurance, travel/accident and health insurance, captive administrative services, warranty services and specialty packages of coverages. The wholesale brokerage businesses underwrite and place excess and surplus commercial and personal lines insurance, typically for specialized or hard-to-place types of risks, primarily through a global network of independent agents and brokers, including Brown & Brown retail agents. The specialty business offers solutions across affinity and administrative services, captives, reinsurance, travel/accident, warranty, and life & health.

The Company primarily operates as an agent or broker not assuming underwriting risks. However, we also operate and/or participate in various ancillary insurance operations, including (1) reinsurance companies and stand-alone captives that assume underwriting risk; (2) series captive insurance companies (“SCICs”); (3) protected cell companies; (4) segregated account companies; (5) a quota share captive and (6) an excess of loss layer captive (collectively, the “Captives”). These respective entities are utilized for the purpose of managing SCICs, facilitating additional underwriting capacity, generating incremental revenues and/or participating in underwriting results. The Company also operates 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”) to which premiums and underwriting exposure are ceded, and excess flood policies which are fully reinsured in the private market.

In conjunction with the acquisition of RSC Topco, Inc., (“RSC” or “Accession”) the holding company for Accession Risk Management Group, Inc., in the third quarter of 2025, the Company aligned its business from three to two segments. As a result of the segment reorganization, the Company consolidated its Programs and Wholesale Brokerage segments into a new Specialty Distribution segment. The Company now reports its financial results in the following two reportable segments: Retail and Specialty Distribution. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present segment information on a comparable basis. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, statements of comprehensive income or statements of shareholders’ equity resulting from these changes. See Note 12 of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

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 (“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, 2024.

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

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" which requires disclosure of specific information about certain costs and expenses in the notes to the financial statements. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15,

  1. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This ASU requires additional reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the ASU enhances interim disclosure requirements effectively making the current annual requirements a requirement for interim reporting. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 for fiscal year ending December 31, 2024, and it has been applied retrospectively to the interim disclosures beginning January 1, 2025.

Income Taxes

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act ("OBBBA") was enacted in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, modifications to the international tax framework and the restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions. The legislation has multiple effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and others implemented through 2027.

The OBBBA includes several provisions that impact the timing and magnitude of certain tax deductions, including restoring 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying property, increasing the business interest limitation and the immediate expensing of domestic research and development costs. The Company has applied the provisions of OBBBA to its financial results and position for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and will continue to assess potential impacts to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows as additional guidance from the OBBBA is issued.

Total revenues$2,093$1,482$47$3,622

(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, including fees negotiated in lieu of commissions, and F&I products and services.

(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 other miscellaneous income.

(8)

Fees within Other reflect the elimination of intercompany revenues.

The following table presents the revenues disaggregated by geographic area where our services are being performed:

Total revenues$1,606$1,186$4,295$3,622

Contract Assets and Liabilities

The balances of contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were as follows:

(in millions)September 30, 2025December 31, 2024
Contract assets$881$575
Contract liabilities$167$119

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 Sheets. Businesses acquired in the current year accounted for $219 million of the increase in contract assets over the balance as of December 31, 2024, with the remaining increase due to normal seasonality and growth in the business.

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 twelve months and in other liabilities for those to be recognized more than twelve months from the date presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Businesses acquired in the current year accounted for $50 million of the increase in contract liabilities over the balance as of December 31, 2024.

As of September 30, 2025, deferred revenue totaled $167 million and consisted of $124 million and $42 million classified as short term and long term, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, deferred revenue totaled $119 million and consisted of $80 million and $39 million classified as short term and long term, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the net amount of revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in a previous period was $24 million and $17 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 Sheets was $137 million and $119 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company deferred $26 million of incremental cost to obtain customer contracts. The Company recorded expense of $8 million associated with the incremental cost to obtain customer contracts for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

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 Sheets was $193 million as of September 30, 2025, which is inclusive of deferrals from businesses acquired in the current year of $57 million. The cost to fulfill balance was $145 million as of December 31, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company had net expense of $13 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. As of September 30, 2025, approximately 4.5 million shares were excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation as they would be anti-dilutive. The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

NOTE 5 Business Combinations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Brown & Brown acquired all of the stock of 13 insurance intermediaries, purchased assets and assumed certain liabilities of 16 insurance intermediaries, and purchased eight books of business (customer accounts) for a total of 37 acquisitions. Additionally, adjustments were recorded to the purchase price allocation of certain prior acquisitions completed within the last twelve months as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 — Business Combinations (“ASC 805”).

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 are 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.

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. Management often uses independent third-party valuation specialists to assist in finalizing the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Fair value adjustments, if any, are most common to the values established for amortizable intangible assets and earnout liabilities, with the offset to goodwill, net of any income tax effect. Provisional estimates were used to initially record the acquisitions of NBS Insurance Agency, Tim Parkman, Inc. and Accession, including for intangible assets, goodwill, customer contract related balances, tax related balances and other asset and liability accounts.

On August 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of RSC, the holding company for Accession Risk Management Group, Inc., a North American insurance distribution platform is composed of specialty insurance and risk management companies, including Risk Strategies, a retail brokerage firm, and One80 Intermediaries, an insurance wholesaler and program manager. The acquisition was completed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among RSC, the Company, Encore Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”) and Kelso RSC (Investor), L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the equityholder representative. The aggregate purchase price totaled $9,598 million and included consideration paid at closing of $8,293 million in cash and $612 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share. The acquisition was funded using cash raised from our June 2025 follow-on common stock offering and senior notes issuance.

The Merger Agreement provided for escrowed consideration of $750 million in the form of $250 million of cash and $500 million in shares of the Company’s common stock. Both the cash and shares are held in an escrow account. Escrowed shares, which were issued at closing of the acquisition, totaled approximately 4.5 million shares. The number of shares was determined using an agreed upon share price of $110.57 and $500 million of consideration, as detailed in the Merger Agreement. The total number of shares will not increase in the future.

Once all claims related to certain indemnification matters described in the Merger Agreement are resolved, the remaining amount in the escrow account will be released to the equityholders. The amount of the cash balance will change over time based on payment of any indemnification obligations of the equityholders associated with the discontinued businesses, as well as dividends paid on the shares and interest income earned on the cash. The Company believes this escrow, plus other available funds, is sufficient to cover any potential costs associated with those specified matters subject to indemnification under the Merger Agreement.

The value of the shares and cash in the escrow account are presented within long-term liabilities (other liabilities), and the restricted cash is presented within other assets in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The value of the shares placed in escrow change as the share price of the Company increases or decreases as compared to the value at the start of the applicable reporting period. On August 1, 2025, the closing date of the Accession acquisition, each share was valued at $92.00 using our opening share price, for a total amount of $406 million. In accordance with ASC Topic 480 — Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC Topic 815 — Derivatives and Hedging, periodic share value changes will be recorded as a mark-to-market of the escrow liability in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. This mark-to-market adjustment is non-cash.

As of September 30, 2025, the total balance of the escrow liability was $676 million, with $414 million in escrowed shares and $263 million in cash. The fair value of the shares held in escrow 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 change in fair value of the shares during the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $8 million.

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the aggregate assets and liabilities acquired through the nine months ended September 30, 2025 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 million per acquisition and adjustments from prior year acquisitions that were made within the permitted measurement period.

(2)

The weighted average useful life of purchased customer accounts is 14 years.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period, which increased total net assets acquired by $5 million and decreased goodwill by $4 million. These measurement-period adjustments have been reflected as current-period adjustments in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 in accordance with the guidance in ASC 805. The measurement-period adjustments had no effect on earnings or cash in the current period.

For the acquisitions completed during 2025, the results of operations since the acquisition dates have been combined with those of the

Company. The total revenues and income before income taxes from acquisitions completed through September 30, 2025, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were $318 million and $34 million, respectively.

If the Company's 2025 acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of 2024, the 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.

Acquisition Earn-Out Payables

As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 were as follows:

Of the $575 million of estimated acquisition earn-out payables as of September 30, 2025, $262 million was recorded as accounts payable and $313 million was recorded as other non-current liabilities. 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. Certain acquisition agreements include provisions with no maximum potential earn-out amount. The amount recorded for these acquisitions as of September 30, 2025 was $431 million. The maximum future acquisition contingency payments totaled $353 million, excluding the uncapped earn-out payables, as of September 30, 2025.

The carrying value of the Company's borrowings under various credit agreements approximates its fair value due to the variable interest rate based upon adjusted SOFR. The fair values above, which exclude accrued interest, are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company would realize upon disposition, nor do they indicate the Company’s intent or ability to dispose of the financial instruments. The fair values of our respective senior notes are considered Level 2 financial instruments, as their values are measured by using observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets.

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.

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 vigorously protect its interests.

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

In conjunction with the acquisition of Accession in the third quarter of 2025, the Company aligned its business from three to two segments. As a result of the segment reorganization, the Company consolidated its Programs and Wholesale Brokerage segments into a new Specialty Distribution segment. As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2025, the Company reports its financial results in the following two reportable segments: (i) 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; and (ii) the Specialty Distributions segment, which consists of our programs, wholesale brokerage and specialty businesses. Our programs businesses which act as MGUs, provide targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches, which are delivered to the insured directly, to affinity groups, through wholesale brokers or through a global network of independent agents, including Brown & Brown retail agents. Our wholesale brokerage businesses underwrite and place excess and surplus commercial and personal lines insurance, typically for specialized or hard-to-place types of risks, primarily through a global network of independent agents and brokers, including Brown & Brown retail agents. Our specialty business offers solutions across affinity and administrative services, captives, reinsurance, travel/accident, warranty, and life & health.

The balances presented for periods prior to September 30, 2025 have been recast to align with the two-segment structure.

Brown & Brown conducts most of its operations within the U.S., International retail operations include businesses based in Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, the Netherlands, Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom; specialty distribution operations are in Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom. These international operations earned $196 million and $155 million of total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These international operations earned $638 million and $486 million of total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the president and chief executive officer, regularly receives segment information on total revenue, organic revenue growth, income before income taxes and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables ("EBITDAC"). The metrics are used to review operating trends, to perform analytical comparisons between periods and to monitor budget to actual variances. The Company's CODM does not use segment assets to make resource allocation decisions; and therefore, segment assets have not been presented.

NOTE 13 Insurance Company Subsidiary Operations

The Company operates a write-your-own flood insurance carrier, Wright National Flood Insurance Company. WNFIC’s underwriting business consists of policies written pursuant to the NFIP, the program administered by FEMA to which premiums and underwriting exposure are ceded, and excess flood policies, which are fully reinsured in the private market. 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 operates and/or participates in various ancillary insurance operations, including (1) reinsurance companies and stand-alone captives that assume underwriting risk; (2) series captive insurance companies (SCICs); (3) protected cell companies; (4) segregated account companies; (5) a quota share captive and (6) an excess of loss layer captive. These respective entities are utilized for the purpose of managing SCICs, facilitating additional underwriting capacity, generating incremental revenues and/or participating in underwriting results. The Company acquired the SCICs through our acquisition of Accession. We consolidated the SCICs after determining they qualify as Variable Interest Entities (VIEs), and the Company is the primary beneficiary. The SCICs are required to follow the regulatory requirements of their respective domiciliary governments; and, the Company has no other restrictions over the use of the assets or liabilities of the SCICs.

The Company purchases reinsurance from other insurance companies to limit total exposure. In addition, the Company cedes insurance risk to other insurance companies and the U.S. government as permitted by the NFIP. The Company’s SCICs are created for clients to insure their risks and manage the costs of their insurance programs. In these arrangements, the Company acts as a fronting insurer and enters into reinsurance treaties, under which the Company has ceded all of the liabilities to client-owned captive cells through cross collateralization between the cells. The premiums and underwriting exposure related to the Company’s SCIC insurance operations are fully ceded to the client-owned captive cells such that the Company’s SCIC operations have no underwriting risk on a net written basis.

The quota share captive participates in risk sharing on policies placed by certain of our MGU businesses that currently underwrite property insurance for earthquake and wind exposed properties. A portion of written premiums are ceded to reinsurance companies, limiting, but not fully eliminating the Company's exposure to underwriting losses.

The excess of loss layer captive participates in risk sharing on policies placed by one of our MGU businesses that underwrites risks associated with personal property, excluding flood, primarily in the southeastern United States with one layer of per risk excess reinsurance and three layers of catastrophe per occurrence reinsurance. All four layers have limited reinstatements; and therefore, the layers have capped, maximum aggregate limits.

The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are as follows:
