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”:
3
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 4 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 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”), excess flood and private flood policies which are fully reinsured, thereby substantially eliminating WNFIC’s exposure to underwriting risk, as these policies are backed by either FEMA or a reinsurance carrier with an AM Best Company rating of “A” or better. The Company also operates a capitalized captive insurance facility (the "Captive") for the purpose of facilitating additional underwriting capacity on a quota sharing basis, currently focused on property insurance for earthquake and wind exposed properties for policies placed by certain of our MGA businesses. The Captive buys reinsurance, limiting, but not eliminating the Company's exposure to underwriting losses.
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, 2021.
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.
Beginning January 1, 2022 the Company is presenting certain assets and liabilities that arise from activities in which the Company engages as an intermediary, where we collect premiums from insureds to remit to insurance companies, hold funds from insurance companies to distribute to insureds for claims on covered losses and hold refunds due to customers as fiduciary assets and fiduciary liabilities. Uncollected premiums are no longer presented in the same caption with commissions, fees and other receivables, but rather represented in a separate caption as fiduciary receivables. Likewise, payables to insurance companies and premium deposits due customers are now combined into a new caption as fiduciary liabilities. The caption “restricted cash” is now reflected as “fiduciary cash” along with non-restricted fiduciary cash balances previously reported within “cash and cash equivalents.” Fiduciary cash represents funds in the Company's possession collected from customers to be remitted to insurance companies and funds from insurance companies to be distributed to insureds for the settlement of claims or refunds. The net change in fiduciary cash is represented by the net change in fiduciary liabilities and fiduciary receivables and is presented as cash flows from financing activity in the statement of cash flows. Previously the net change in cash balances held to remit to insurance carriers or to return to customers was presented as cash flows from operating activity. All prior periods included in these financial statements have been recast to conform to this basis of presentation. The relevant balance sheet captions and how the December 31, 2021 balances as presented under the prior method relate to the current presentation are reflected in the tables below. Certain liabilities reported as premiums payable to insurance companies or within premiums deposits and credits due customers were deemed not to be fiduciary in nature and have been included within accounts payable in the current presentation. Likewise, a small component of accounts payable was deemed to be fiduciary in nature and is now included within fiduciary liabilities.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued 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 U.S. 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 are effective immediately and may be applied prospectively to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated on or before December 31, 2022. We have evaluated our contracts and the available expedients provided by the new standard and can assert there is no impact to any carrying value of assets or liabilities as our floating-rate debt instruments that are indexed to LIBOR are carried at amortized cost.

|

|
Contract liabilities |
| $ | 92.8 |

|
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, 2021 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, 2022, deferred revenue consisted of $60.0 million as current portion to be recognized within one year and $32.8 million in long-term to be recognized beyond one year. As of December 31, 2021, deferred revenue consisted of $67.4 million as current portion to be recognized within one year and $30.5 million in long-term deferred revenue to be recognized beyond one year.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the net amount of revenue recognized related to performance obligations satisfied in a previous period was $21.5 million and $19.6 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 $67.5 million and $58.2 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company deferred $11.7 million of incremental cost to obtain customer contracts. The Company recorded an expense of $2.4 million associated with the incremental cost to obtain customer contracts for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
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, 2022 was $72.8 million, which is inclusive of deferrals from businesses acquired in the current year. The cost to fulfill balance as of December 31, 2021 was $89.3 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had net expense of $16.5 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, 2022, Brown & Brown acquired all of the stock of 1 insurance intermediary, assets and assumed certain liabilities of 6 insurance intermediaries, and 3 books of business (customer accounts) for a total of 10 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 within the following two tables. 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/or 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, 2022, adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period that resulted in an increase in the aggregate purchase price of the affected acquisitions of $5.6 million. These measurement period adjustments have been reflected as current period adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2022 in accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-16 “Business Combinations.” The measurement period adjustments primarily impacted goodwill, with no effect on earnings or cash in the current period.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocations made as of the date of each acquisition for current year acquisitions and adjustments made during the measurement period for prior year acquisitions. Cash paid for 10 acquisitions was $500.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. 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 recognition of those 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 weighted average useful lives for the acquired amortizable intangible assets are as follows: purchased customer accounts, 15 years; and non-compete agreements, 5 years.
Goodwill of $421.4 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 $18.9 million, $402.3 million, and $0.2 million, respectively. Of the total goodwill of $421.4 million, the amount currently deductible for income tax purposes is $16.0 million. The remaining $405.3 million relates to goodwill that will not be deductible for income tax purposes of $399.3 million and $6.1 million from recorded earn-out payables which will not be deductible for income tax purposes until it is earned and paid.

For the acquisitions completed during 2022, 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, 2022, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was $19.2 million. The income before income taxes from the acquisitions completed through June 30, 2022, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2022, was a loss of $3.2 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.

Of the $232.9 million estimated acquisition earn-out payables as of June 30, 2022, $91.0 million was recorded as accounts payable and $141.9 million was recorded as other non-current liabilities. As of June 30, 2022, the maximum future acquisition contingency payments related to all acquisitions was $447.2 million, inclusive of the $232.9 million estimated acquisition earn-out payables as of June 30, 2022. 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.
Subsequent to June 30, 2022, Brown & Brown completed the acquisition of GRP (Jersey) Holdco Limited and its businesses ("GRP") on July 1, 2022. GRP is an insurance intermediary in the United Kingdom (U.K.) with locations throughout the U.K. and Ireland. The consideration paid included cash of £1,539.4 million, which was approximately $1,860.7 million, and 252,802 shares of the Company’s common stock issued in July 2022, valued at $14.8 million. Acquisition costs related to the transaction for the six months ended June 30, 2022, were $3.9 million and were recorded in other operating expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The initial accounting for the business combination is currently being evaluated.

On September 18, 2014, the Company issued $500.0 million of 4.200% unsecured Senior Notes due in 2024. The Senior Notes were given investment grade ratings of BBB-/Baa3 with a stable outlook. The notes are subject to certain covenant restrictions and regulations which are customary for credit rated obligations. At the time of funding, the proceeds were offered at a discount of the original note amount which also excluded an underwriting fee discount. The net proceeds received from the issuance were used to repay the outstanding balance of $475.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility and for other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was an outstanding debt balance of $500.0 million exclusive of the associated discount balance.

The Term Loan Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured term loan in the initial amount of $300.0 million, which may, subject to lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased up to an aggregate amount of $450.0 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan is repayable over the five-year term from the effective date of the Term Loan Credit Agreement, which was December 21, 2018. Based on the Company’s net debt leverage ratio or a non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt rating as determined by Moody’s Investor Service and Standard & Poor’s Rating Service, the rates of interest charged on the term loan are 1.00% to 1.75%, above the adjusted 1-Month LIBOR rate. On December 21, 2018, the Company borrowed $300.0 million under the Term Loan Credit Agreement and used $250.0 million of the proceeds to reduce indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility.

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.

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.
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 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, 2022, the Company has entered into future lease agreements expected to commence later in 2022 and 2023 consisting of undiscounted lease liabilities of $9.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
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 10 Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information and Non-Cash Financing and Investing Activities
Throughout 2020, the Company deferred $31.1 million in employer-only payroll tax payments as allowed under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES” Act), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. During the first six months of 2022, there were no additional deferrals under the CARES Act. A payment of the cumulative deferred employer payroll taxes as of December 31, 2020 was paid in December 2021 and a second payment is planned for December 31, 2022, as permitted under the CARES Act.
During the second quarter of 2021, the Company received an $8.1 million reimbursement for capitalizable costs of public infrastructure improvements related to the construction of the Company’s headquarters in accordance with an economic development grant agreement between the Company and the City of Daytona Beach and Volusia County. The reimbursement has been reflected as a reduction to the additions to fixed asset line item on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2022, included in the Company's cash balance is £1,544.7 million, which had a value of $1,876.4 million, on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in anticipation to use as cash consideration to close the acquisition of GRP (Jersey) Holdco Limited and its businesses ("GRP") which occurred on July 1, 2022.
During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had a loss of $130.1 million reported on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income which is primarily due to the movement in currency exchange rates for British pound sterling denominated cash balances with an additional smaller loss from the decline in currency exchange rates related to Euro denominated asset balances.

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.
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.

International operations include Retail operations in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and Ireland, a National Programs operation in Canada, and a Wholesale Brokerage operation based in England. These operations earned $20.3 million and $19.1 million of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These operations earned $40.7 million and $36.6 million of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Tangible long-lived assets held outside of the United States as of June 30, 2022 and 2021 were not material.
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, 2021. Intersegment revenues are eliminated.

NOTE 14 Insurance Company Subsidiary Operations
Although the reinsurers are liable to the Company for amounts reinsured, our subsidiary, Wright National Flood Insurance Company (“WNFIC”) remains primarily liable to its policyholders for the full amount of the policies written whether or not the reinsurers meet their obligations to the Company when they become due. In addition, we operate the Captive, in which we participate in a quota sharing of premiums for the purpose of adding capacity to certain property insurance programs managed in our National Programs segment. The Captive cedes premiums to reinsurers for substantially all, but not the entirety, of its quota share. The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are as follows:

All premiums written by WNFIC under the National Flood Insurance Program (“NFIP”) are 100% ceded to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, for which WNFIC received a 29.9% expense allowance from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022. For the period from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, the Company ceded $354.8 million of written premiums to FEMA, with $1.3 million ceded to highly rated carriers for excess flood policies which are not within the NFIP.
As of June 30, 2022 the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet contained reinsurance recoverable of $34.7 million and prepaid reinsurance premiums of $385.4 million. There was 0 change in the net balance in the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense during the period January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, as WNFIC’s direct premiums written were 100% to 2 reinsurers. The balance of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense, excluding related reinsurance recoverable, as of June 30, 2022 was $34.7 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 $32.5 million at June 30, 2022 and $33.1 million as of December 31, 2021. For the period from January 1, 2022 through June 30, 2022, WNFIC generated statutory net income of $0.4 million. For the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, WNFIC generated statutory net income of $1.6 million. The maximum amount of ordinary dividends that WNFIC can pay to 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. There was no dividend payout in 2021 and the maximum dividend payout that may be made in 2022 without prior approval is $3.3 million.
Assumed net written and net earned premiums for the Captive for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $27.3 million and $6.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2022, the loss reserve inclusive of incurred but not reported ("IBNR") claims was not significant. In December of 2021, the initial funding to capitalize the Captive was $5.9 million. This capital in addition to current earnings of $3.8 million is considered at risk for loss. The first collateral release will be in 2023 and is based on an IBNR factor times earned premium compared to current collateral balance.

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 operate a capitalized captive insurance facility (the "Captive") for the purpose of having additional capacity to sell property insurance for earthquake and wind exposed properties. The Captive buys reinsurance, limiting, but not eliminating, the Company's exposure to underwriting losses, and revenues are recognized as net retained earned premiums over the associated policy periods.
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, and the occurrence of catastrophic weather events all affect our revenues. For example, higher levels of inflation, which would increase the value of insurable exposure units, or a general decline in economic activity, which could decrease the value of insurable exposure units. Conversely, increasing costs of litigation settlements and 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 primarily relate to services other than securing coverage for our customers, and to a lesser extent as 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 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 27.4% in 2021 and 26.1% in 2020.
For the three months ended June 30, 2022, our total commissions and fees growth rate was 15.5%, and our consolidated Organic Revenue growth rate was 10.3%.
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 legal settlements and other revenues.
Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased from the second quarter of 2021 by $12.5 million or 6.7%, driven by net new business, acquisitions completed in the past 12 months, and management of our expense base which were partially
28
offset by the increase in interest expense associated with higher average debt balances from debt issued and bank financing in the first quarter of 2022 in preparation for the closing of the acquisitions of GRP (Jersey) Holdco Limited and its businesses ("GRP"), Orchid Underwriters Agency and CrossCover Insurance Services ("Orchid") and BdB Limited companies ("BdB") as well as increases in the floating rate benchmark used on our adjustable rate debt.
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 that have 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 and EBITDAC Margin as key performance metrics for our short-term and long-term incentive compensation plans for executive officers and other key employees.
Beginning January 1, 2022, we include guaranteed supplemental commissions ("GSCs") as part of core commissions and fees and, therefore, GSCs are a component of Organic Revenue. All current and prior periods contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been adjusted for this treatment. GSCs are a stable source of revenue that are highly correlated to core commissions, so isolating them separately provided no meaningful incremental value in evaluating our revenue.
Beginning January 1, 2022, the following, in addition to the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables, are excluded from certain non-GAAP measures, as we believe these amounts are not indicative of the ongoing operating performance of the business and are not easily comparable from period-to-period:
We are presenting EBITDAC - Adjusted and EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the current and prior year periods contained within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q so these non-GAAP financial measures compare both periods on the same basis.

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 2022, we acquired 590 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, 2021. 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 Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 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, 2022 increased $112.8 million to $838.7 million, or 15.5%, over the same period in 2021. Core commissions and fees revenue for the second quarter of 2022 increased $110.3 million, composed of (i) approximately $72.7 million of net new and renewal business, which reflects an Organic Revenue growth rate of 10.3%; (ii) $40.9 million from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2021; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation of $1.2 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $2.1 million related to commissions and fees revenue from business divested in the preceding twelve months. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the second quarter of 2022 increased by $2.5 million, or 12.8%, compared to the same period in 2021.
For the six months ended June 30, 2022, commissions and fees, including profit-sharing contingent commissions, increased $203.2 million to $1,743.1 million, or 13.2%, over the same period in 2021. Core commissions and fees revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $198.0 million, composed of: (i) approximately $134.2 million of net new and renewal business, which reflects an Organic Revenue growth rate of 9.0%; (ii) $70.2 million from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2021; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact from foreign currency translation of $1.8 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $4.5 million related to
31
commissions and fees revenue from businesses divested in the preceding 12 months. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased by $5.2 million, or 11.4%, compared to the same period in 2021.
Investment Income
Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased $0.2 million, or 100.0%, from the same period in 2021. Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $0.1 million, or 20.0%, from the same period in 2021. 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, 2022 decreased $0.6 million or 50.0% as compared to the same period in 2021. Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased by $1.4 million or 63.6% as compared to the same period in 2021. Other income consists primarily of non-recurring legal settlements and 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 49.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 54.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and increased 4.2%, or $16.5 million. This increase included $14.6 million of compensation costs related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2021. Therefore, employee compensation and benefits expense attributable to those offices that existed in the same time periods of 2022 and 2021 increased by $1.9 million or 0.5%. This underlying employee compensation and benefits expense increase was primarily related to: (i) increased claims associated with our self-insured employee health plan; (ii) an increase in staff salaries attributable to salary inflation; (iii) an increase in accrued performance bonuses; (iv) an increase in producer compensation associated with revenue growth; partially offset by (v) the year-over-year decrease 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 49.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 53.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and increased 5.6%, or $45.9 million. This increase included $24.7 million of compensation costs related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2021. Therefore, employee compensation and benefits expense attributable to those offices that existed in the same time periods of 2022 and 2021 increased by $21.2 million or 2.6%. This underlying employee compensation and benefits expense increase was primarily related to: (i) increased claims associated with our self-insured employee health plan; (ii) an increase in staff salaries attributable to salary inflation; (iii) an increase in accrued performance bonuses; (iv) an increase in producer compensation associated with revenue growth; partially offset by (v) the year-over-year decrease of approximately $33.7 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, which was substantially offset by 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 18.3% of total revenues for the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 13.2% for the second quarter of 2021. Other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased $57.7 million, or 59.9%, from the same period of 2021. The net increase included: (i) $9.2 million of other operating expenses related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2021; (ii) increased variable costs with travel and entertainment being the largest driver; (iii) acquisition and integration costs associated with the acquisitions of Orchid, GRP (which closed at the beginning of July 2022), and BdB (which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022), and (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.
Other operating expenses represented 16.1% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to 12.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. Other operating expenses for the first six months of 2022 increased $90.2 million, or 47.3%, from the same period of 2021. The net increase included: (i) $12.9 million of other operating expenses related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2021; (ii) increased variable costs with travel and entertainment being the largest driver; (iii) acquisition and integration costs associated with the acquisitions of Orchid, GRP (which closed at the beginning of July 2022), and BdB (which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022), and (iv) the year-over-year decrease of approximately $33.7 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.
(Gain)/Loss on Disposal
Gain on disposal for the second quarter of 2022 decreased $3.2 million from the second quarter of 2021. Gain on disposal for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $3.1 million from the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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.
32
Amortization
Amortization expense for the second quarter of 2022 increased $4.1 million, or 13.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $5.7 million, or 9.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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 2022 increased $0.1 million, or 1.1%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $0.8 million, or 4.9%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021. Changes in depreciation expense reflect the addition of fixed assets resulting from business initiatives, and net additions of fixed assets resulting from businesses acquired in the past 12 months, which were partially offset by fixed assets that became fully depreciated.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the second quarter of 2022 increased $19.7 million, or 120.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2021. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased $21.7 million, or 66.6%, compared to the first six months of 2021. These increases were due to higher average debt balances resulting from debt issuance and bank financing in the first quarter of 2022 in preparation of the funding of Orchid, GRP (which closed at the beginning of July 2022), and BdB (which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022), 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, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:

For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2022, the fair value of estimated earn-out payables was re-evaluated and decreased by $4.7 million and $9.5 million, respectively, which resulted in credits to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, respectively.
As of June 30, 2022, estimated acquisition earn-out payables totaled $232.9 million, of which $91.0 million was recorded as accounts payable and $141.9 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, 2022 and 2021 was 27.0% and 25.2% respectively. The effective tax rate on income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 21.2% and 20.3%, respectively.

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 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, 2022 and 2021, including by segment, and the growth rates for Organic Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2022, including by segment, are as follows:

The $55.2 million increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) approximately $22.7 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2021; (ii) an increase of $34.2 million related to net new and renewal business; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation of $1.0 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $0.4 million related to commissions and fees recorded in 2021 from businesses since divested. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the second quarter of 2022 increased 11.9%, or $1.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $9.4 million. This increase was the result of recent acquisitions and qualifying for certain profit-sharing contingent commissions in 2022 that we did not qualify for in the prior year. The Retail Segment’s total commissions and fees increased by 14.1%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 8.8% for the second quarter of 2022. 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 P&C, employee benefits, professional and excess liability, and condo property, partially offset by continued premium rate reductions in workers’ compensation.
Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 17.0%, or $12.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $82.5 million. The primary factors affecting this increase were: (i) the profit associated with the net increase in revenue as described above; (ii) intercompany interest and amortization expenses growing slower than total revenues; and (iii) a decrease to the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables.
EBITDAC - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 12.6%, or $14.5 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $129.6 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased to 28.3% from 28.8% in the same period in 2021. The decrease in EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted was driven by: (i) increased variable operating expenses, which are largely travel and meeting related and (ii) partially offset by the total revenue increase.

The Retail Segment’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased 14.1%, or $130.0 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $1,054.0 million. The $127.0 million increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) approximately $51.1 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2021; (ii) an increase of $79.2 million related to net new and renewal business; (iii) an offsetting decrease from the impact of foreign currency translation of $1.7 million; and (iv) an offsetting decrease of $1.2 million related to commissions and fees recorded in 2021 from businesses since divested. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the six months of 2022 increased 13.7%, or $3.3 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $27.4 million. The Retail Segment’s total commissions and fees increased by 14.1%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 8.8% for the first six months of 2022. 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 P&C, employee benefits, professional and excess liability, and condo partially offset by continued premium rate reductions in workers’ compensation.
Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased 20.3%, or $44.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $266.5 million. The primary factors affecting this increase were: (i) the profit associated with the net increase in revenue as described above; and (ii) the drivers of EBITDAC described below; (iii) intercompany interest and amortization growing slower 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, 2022 increased 16.2%, or $50.2 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $359.3 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased to 34.1% from 33.5% in the same period in 2021. The increases in EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted were primarily driven by leveraging our expenses in connection with the net increase in revenue of $130.0 million which was partially offset by increased variable operating 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. 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 75.2% of the National Programs Segment’s commissions and fees revenue is commission based.

The Wholesale Brokerage Segment’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 increased 7.5%, or $7.8 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $112.4 million. The $7.6 million net increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven primarily by: (i) $7.2 million related to net new and renewal business; and (ii) $0.5 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2021. Profit-sharing contingent commissions for the second quarter of 2022 increased $0.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2021. The Wholesale Brokerage Segment’s growth rate for total commissions and fees was 7.4%, and the Organic Revenue growth rate was 7.0% for the second quarter of 2022. The Organic Revenue growth rate was driven by new business, good retention as well as rate increases for most lines of coverage. However, the Organic Revenue growth was also impacted by declines in our personal lines business caused by reduced carrier appetite to write coverage in certain geographies or lines of business.

EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2022 increased to 32.0% from 31.6% in the same period in 2021. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted increased due to: (i) higher profit-sharing contingent commissions; and (ii) leveraging our expense base in connection with revenue growth; partially offset by (iii) higher broker compensation; and (iv) increased variable operating expenses, which are primarily travel and meeting related.
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.

The Services Segment’s total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 2.0%, or $0.9 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $44.0 million. The Services Segment’s total commissions and fees and Organic Revenue declined 0.5% for the second quarter of 2022 driven by: (i) higher COVID-19 travel restricted claims in the prior year; and (ii) a lack of weather-related claims coupled with reduced severity in the current year.
Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 14.3%, or $1.1 million, as compared to the same period in 2021, to $6.6 million. Income before income taxes decreased due to the drivers of EBITDAC – Adjusted described below.
EBITDAC - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 12.9%, or $1.3 million, from the same period in 2021, to $8.8 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the three months ended June 30, 2022 decreased to 20.0% from 22.5% in the same period in 2021. The decrease in EBITDAC and EBITDAC Margin was driven primarily by the reduction in revenue.
The Services Segment’s total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 4.7%, or $4.3 million from the same period in 2021, to $87.6 million. The Services Segment’s total commissions and fees and Organic Revenue growth declined 3.4% for the first six months of 2022. The decrease in Organic Revenue was caused primarily by: (i) higher COVID-19 travel restricted claims in the prior year; and (ii) a lack of weather-related claims coupled with reduced severity in the current year.
Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased $3.7 million, or 21.9%, from the same period in 2021, to $13.2 million. Income before income taxes decreased due to the drivers of EBITDAC described below.
EBITDAC - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased 18.8%, or $4.1 million, from the same period in 2021, to $17.7 million. EBITDAC Margin - Adjusted for the six months ended June 30, 2022 decreased to 20.2% from 23.7% in the same period in 2021. The decrease in EBITDAC and EBITDAC Margin were driven primarily by the decrease in revenue.

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, 2022 provided up to $550.0 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.
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. In addition, under the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the unsecured term loan in the initial amount of $300.0 million may be increased by up to $150.0 million, 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, 2022.
As of June 30, 2022, included in the Company's cash balance is £1,544.7 million, which had a value of $1,876.4 million, on its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet held in anticipation to use as cash consideration to complete the acquisition of GRP which occurred on July 1, 2022.

Debt
Total debt at June 30, 2022 was $4,223.8 million net of unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, which was an increase of $2,200.9 million compared to December 31, 2021. The increase includes: (i) the issuance of $1,200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes on March 17, 2022, exclusive of debt issuance costs and discounts applied to the principal; (ii) the drawdown of $350.0 million of the revolving credit facility in conjunction with the acquisition payment for Orchid on March 31, 2022; (iii) the aggregate drawdown of $800.0 million under the Loan Agreement in connection with the preparation of closing our pending acquisitions of GRP and BdB which occurred on various dates on or before the final draw on April 28, 2022; and (iv) net of the amortization of discounted debt related to our various unsecured Senior Notes, and debt issuance cost amortization of $1.8 million; offset by decreases due to: (i) the scheduled principal amortization balances related to our various existing floating rate debt term notes in total of $27.5 million; and (ii) added discounted debt balances related to the issuance of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.200% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”) and $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.950% Senior Notes due 2052 (the “2052 Notes,” and together with the 2032 Notes, the “Notes”) of $10.4 million; and (iii) debt issuance costs related to the Notes and the Loan Agreement of $13.0 million; and (iv) on June 30, 2022 the Company repaid $100.0 million of debt related to the outstanding amount drawn under the revolving credit facility under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $6.2 million of principal related to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement term loan through the quarterly scheduled amortized principal payments. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement term loan had an outstanding balance of $240.6 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company's next scheduled amortized principal payment is due September 30, 2022 and is equal to $3.1 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $15.0 million of principal related to the Term Loan Credit Agreement through quarterly scheduled amortized principal payments. The Term Loan Credit Agreement had an outstanding balance of $225.0 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company’s next scheduled amortized principal payment is due September 30, 2022 and is equal to $7.5 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repaid $6.3 million of principal related to the Term Loans issued under the Term A-2 Loan Commitment (“Term A-2 Loans”) through quarterly scheduled amortized principal payments. The Term A-2 Loans had an outstanding balance of $493.8 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company’s next scheduled amortized principal payment is due September 30, 2022 and is equal to $6.3 million.
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 and $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.950% Senior Notes due 2052 (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 under the GRP Acquisition Agreement and to pay fees and expenses associated with the foregoing. As of June 30, 2022, there was a total outstanding debt balance of $1,200.0 million exclusive of the associated discount balance on both Notes.
On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into 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 (the "Effective Date") until the date which is the first anniversary thereof. Once borrowed, 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. Once borrowed, 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. While outstanding, the undrawn Term Loan Commitments accrue a commitment fee of 0.15% beginning on the earlier of the initial funding of Term Loans under the Loan Agreement and the date that is 120 days from the Effective Date. Once drawn, Term A-1 Loans will bear interest at the annual rate of Adjusted Term SOFR plus 1.125% or Base Rate plus 0.125% (subject to a pricing grid for changes in the Company’s credit rating and/or leverage) and Term A-2 Loans will bear interest at the annual rate of Adjusted
46
Term SOFR plus 1.25% or Base Rate plus 0.25% (subject to a pricing grid for changes in the Company’s credit rating and/or leverage). 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, 2022 the outstanding balance on the Loan Agreement was $793.8 million.
On March 31, 2022 the Company accessed $350.0 million of available proceeds on the revolving credit facility under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. The proceeds were used in conjunction with the funding of the Orchid acquisition along with funds from cash on hand. As of June 30, 2022 the outstanding loan balance was $250.0 million.

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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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, 2022, we had $793.8 million outstanding under the Loan Agreement tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and $715.6 million of borrowings outstanding under certain credit agreements tied to the overnight London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). 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. As of July 2017, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) has urged banks and institutions to discontinue their use of the LIBOR benchmark rate for floating rate debt, and other financial instruments tied to the rate after 2021. However, on November 30, 2020, the ICE Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”), announced that it would consult in early December 2020 on its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on December 31, 2021, and the remaining U.S. dollar LIBOR settings (overnight and one, three, six and 12 months) immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023. In connection to the released statement from the IBA, on December 4, 2020, the FCA released a similar statement in support of the continuation of the LIBOR rate beyond 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) have recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as the best alternative rate to LIBOR post discontinuance and has proposed a transition plan and timeline designed to encourage the adoption of SOFR from LIBOR. Post consultation on March 5, 2021, IBA confirmed its proposed dates to stop publishing the London interbank offered rate for Dollars ("USD LIBOR") on a representative basis.
When the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit on October 27, 2021, it included provisions regarding transition from LIBOR to SOFR in preparation of the LIBOR cessation. On March 31, 2022, the Company entered into the Loan Agreement which bears interest tied to the annual rate for the adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("Adjusted Term SOFR"). In the coming periods, the Company will assess any other current agreements with benchmark rates tied to LIBOR with an expectation that the Company will be prepared for a termination of LIBOR benchmarks prior to June 30, 2023 when typical rate settings will no longer be available.
We are subject to operational exchange rate risk in the following currencies, Canadian dollar, British Sterling and Euros. Our U.K.-based wholesale brokerage business has a cost base principally denominated in British pounds and a revenue base in several other currencies, but principally in U.S. dollars. Our Canadian MGA business has substantially all of its revenues and cost base denominated in Canadian dollars. Our Irish retail brokerage operations has substantially all of its revenue and cost base in Euros.
Based upon our foreign currency rate exposure as of June 30, 2022, an immediate 10% hypothetical change of foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material effect on our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.
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, 2022. 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, 2022, 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
48
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.
