“Our strong start to the year reflects continued execution of our 3x3 Plan and progress accelerating our client‑centric Aon United strategy,” said Greg Case, president and CEO. “In the first quarter, we delivered 5% organic revenue growth, expanded operating margin, and generated significant free cash flow, reinforcing our confidence in achieving our full‑year objectives.”

“As risk and complexity continue to grow, demand is increasing among global, large, and middle‑market clients for integrated, high‑value solutions that combine expertise, data, and analytics at scale,” Case added. “Our long‑standing focus on these client segments along with our investments in analytics, technology, and innovative capital solutions is expanding our addressable market. As a result, we are well positioned to deepen our relevance with clients and deliver durable growth and long‑term shareholder value.”

Net income attributable to Aon shareholders in the first quarter increased 27%, to $5.63 per share on a diluted basis, compared to $4.43 per share on a diluted basis in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income per share attributable to Aon shareholders increased 14%, to $6.48 on a diluted basis, including a favorable impact of $0.36 per share if prior-year period results were translated at current period foreign exchange rates (“foreign currency translation”), compared to $5.67 in the prior-year period. Certain items that impacted first-quarter results and comparisons with the prior-year period are detailed in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income, Operating Margin and Diluted Earnings Per Share" on page 11 of this press release.

FIRST-QUARTER 2026 FINANCIAL SUMMARY

Total revenue in the first quarter increased 6% to $5.0 billion compared to the prior-year period, reflecting 5% organic revenue growth and a 4% favorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 3% unfavorable impact primarily from divestitures. Risk Capital revenue increased $311 million, or 10%, to $3.5 billion, and Human Capital revenue decreased $6 million, or less than 1%, to $1.5 billion.

Total operating expenses in the first quarter increased 2% to $3.3 billion compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to the increase in expense associated with 5% organic revenue growth and investments in long-term growth, as well as the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by lower expenses associated with the sale of NFP Wealth and $25 million of net restructuring savings. Risk Capital operating expenses increased $126 million, or 6%, to $2.1 billion, and Human Capital operating expenses decreased $46 million, or 4%, to $1.1 billion.

Foreign currency translation in the first quarter had a $0.35 per share favorable impact on diluted EPS and a $0.36 per share favorable impact on adjusted EPS. If currency were to remain stable at today’s rates, the Company would expect a de minimis impact on adjusted EPS in the second quarter of 2026 and a favorable impact on adjusted EPS of approximately $0.44 per share for the full year 2026.

Effective tax rate for the first quarter was 20.2% compared to 21.4% in the prior-year period. After adjusting to exclude the applicable tax impact associated with certain non-GAAP adjustments, the adjusted effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2026 was 20.3% compared to 20.9% in the prior-year period. The primary drivers of the change in the effective tax rate and adjusted effective tax rate were changes in the geographical dis
