DUBLIN - May 1, 2026 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON) today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

•Our balance sheet position and strong free cash flow generation enabled execution of our disciplined capital allocation model, returning $662 million of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the quarter
•We announced a 10% increase to the quarterly dividend on April 10, the sixth consecutive double-digit annual increase
•We are reaffirming 2026 guidance of mid-single-digit or greater organic revenue growth, 70-80 basis points of adjusted operating margin expansion, strong adjusted EPS growth and double-digit free cash flow growth
First Quarter 2026
2026 2025 Change
Total revenue $5,034 $4,729 6%
Organic revenue growth (Non-GAAP) 5%
Operating income $1,715 $1,461 17%
Adjusted operating income (Non-GAAP) $1,966 $1,816 8%
Operating margin 34.1% 30.9%
Adjusted operating margin (Non-GAAP) 39.1% 38.4%
Diluted EPS $5.63 $4.43 27%
Adjusted EPS (Non-GAAP) $6.48 $5.67 14%
Cash provided by operations $430 $140 207%
Free cash flow (Non-GAAP) $363 $84 332%
“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 distribution of income and a higher favorable impact from discrete items.
Weighted average diluted shares outstanding decreased to 215.4 million in the first quarter compared to 217.9 million in the prior-year period. The Company repurchased 1.5 million class A ordinary shares for approximately $500 million in the first quarter. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately $0.8 billion of remaining authorization under its share repurchase program.
YEAR-TO-DATE 2026 CASH FLOW SUMMARY
Cash flows provided by operations for the first three months of 2026 increased $290 million, or 207%, to $430 million compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to strong adjusted operating income growth and lower cash taxes.
2
Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, increased 332%, to $363 million for the first three months of 2026 compared to the prior-year period, reflecting an increase in cash flows from operations, partially offset by an $11 million increase in capital expenditures.
FIRST-QUARTER 2026 REVENUE REVIEW
The first-quarter revenue reviews provided below include supplemental information related to organic revenue growth, which is a non-GAAP measure that is described in detail in “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Organic Revenue Growth and Free Cash Flow” on page 10 of this press release.

Total revenue increased $305 million, or 6%, to $5.0 billion, compared to the prior-year period, reflecting organic revenue growth of 5%, driven by net new business and ongoing strong retention, and a 4% favorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 3% unfavorable impact primarily from divestitures largely due to the sales of NFP Wealth and Stroz Friedberg. 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.
Risk Capital
Commercial Risk Solutions Organic revenue growth of 7% reflects double-digit growth in North America and strong growth in EMEA, driven by net new business and ongoing strong retention. Net market impact was slightly positive. Within North America, performance was highlighted by strong growth in M&A services, U.S. core P&C and construction.
Reinsurance Solutions Organic revenue growth of 4% reflects growth in treaty placements, driven by net new business and strong retention, and a double-digit increase in facultative placements. Net market impact was a modest negative in the quarter.
3
Human Capital
Health Solutions Organic revenue growth of 4% reflects strong growth in core health and benefits, including particular strength in international, driven by net new business, ongoing strong retention and a positive net market impact. This was partially offset by slower discretionary spend in Talent Solutions.
Wealth Solutions Organic revenue growth of 1% reflects growth in Retirement, driven by continued demand for advisory work in the UK and EMEA related to the ongoing impact of regulatory change, partially offset by continued soft advisory demand in the U.S.

Total operating expenses $ 3,319 $ 3,268 $ 51 2 %
Compensation and benefits expense increased $144 million, or 6%, compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to expenses 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 from the sale of the NFP Wealth business and savings from Accelerating Aon United restructuring actions.
Information technology expense increased $8 million, or 6%, compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to the expense associated with 5% organic revenue growth, including Aon Business Services investments in ongoing technology initiatives.
Premises expense decreased $1 million, or 1%, compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to efforts to optimize our real estate footprint and savings from Accelerating Aon United restructuring actions.
Depreciation of fixed assets was flat compared to the prior-year period.
Amortization and impairment of intangible assets decreased $47 million, or 24%, compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to the decrease in intangible assets associated with the sale of the NFP Wealth business.
Other general expense decreased $35 million, or 8%, compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to non-recurring gains including legal recoveries and sales of portfolios, lower transaction- and integration-related expense and lower expenses associated with the sale of NFP Wealth, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation.
4
Accelerating Aon United Restructuring Program expense decreased $18 million, or 16%, compared to the prior-year period, due primarily to lower costs related to workforce optimization.
FIRST-QUARTER 2026 INCOME SUMMARY
Certain noteworthy items impacted adjusted operating income and adjusted operating margin in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, which are also described in detail in “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income, Operating Margin and Diluted Earnings Per Share” on page 11 of this press release.

Revenue $ 5,034 $ 4,729 6 %
Expenses 3,319 3,268 2 %
Operating income $ 1,715 $ 1,461 17 %
Operating margin 34.1 % 30.9 %
Adjusted operating income $ 1,966 $ 1,816 8 %
Adjusted operating margin 39.1 % 38.4 %
Operating income increased $254 million, or 17%, and operating margin increased 320 basis points to 34.1%, each compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted operating income increased $150 million, or 8%, and adjusted operating margin increased 70 basis points to 39.1%, each compared to the prior-year period. The increase in adjusted operating income reflects organic revenue growth, net restructuring savings and tailwinds from currency movements, partially offset by increased expenses associated with 5% organic revenue growth and lower fiduciary investment income.
Interest income increased $7 million compared to the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher cash balances due to the sale of NFP Wealth. Interest expense decreased $27 million compared to the prior-year period, reflecting lower total debt.
Other income was $5 million compared to other expense of $10 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted other expense was $15 million compared to $30 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting a favorable impact of foreign currency remeasurement of assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies and a decrease in non-cash pension expense, partially offset by losses related to our hedging program.
Net income attributable to Aon shareholders increased 26% to $1.2 billion compared to $965 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income attributable to Aon shareholders increased 13% to $1.4 billion compared to $1.2 billion in the prior-year period.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, that address activities, events or developments that Aon expects or anticipates may occur in the future, including such things as our outlook, market and industry conditions, including competitive and pricing trends, the development and performance of our services and products, our cost structure and the outcome of cost-saving or restructuring initiatives, including the impacts of the Accelerating Aon United Program, the integration of NFP, actual or anticipated legal settlement expenses, future capital expenditures, growth in commissions and fees, changes to the composition or level of our revenues, cash flow and liquidity, expected tax rates, expected foreign currency translation impacts, business strategies, competitive strengths, goals, the benefits of new initiatives, growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future successes, and expectations with respect to the benefits of the acquisition of NFP are forward-looking statements.

The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ from those set forth in or anticipated by the forward-looking statements: changes in the competitive environment, due to macroeconomic conditions or otherwise, or damage to Aon’s reputation; fluctuations in currency exchange, interest, or inflation rates that could impact our financial condition or results; changes in global equity and fixed income markets that could affect the return on invested assets; changes in the funded status of Aon's various defined benefit pension plans and the impact of any increased pension funding resulting from those changes; the level of Aon’s debt and the terms thereof reducing Aon’s flexibility or increasing borrowing costs; rating agency actions that could limit Aon’s access to capital and our competitive position; volatility in Aon’s global tax rate due to being subject to a variety of different factors, including the adoption, implementation and amendment in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, or other countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development tax proposals or other pending proposals in those and other countries, which could create volatility in that tax rate; changes in Aon’s accounting estimates or assumptions on Aon’s financial statements; limits on Aon’s subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or otherwise make payments to Aon; the impact of legal proceedings and other contingencies, including those arising from or related to acquisition or disposition transactions, errors and omissions and other claims against Aon (including proceeding and contingencies relating to transactions for which capital was arranged by Vesttoo Ltd. or related to actions we may take in being responsible for making decisions on behalf of clients in our investment business or in other advisory services that we currently provide, or may provide in the future); the impact of, and potential challenges in complying with, laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which Aon operates, particularly given the global nature of Aon’s operations and the possibility of differing or conflicting laws and regulations, or the application or interpretation thereof, across jurisdictions in which Aon does business, including but not limited to in the areas of cybersecurity, data privacy and artificial intelligence; the impact of any regulatory investigations brought in Ireland, the U.K., the U.S. and other countries; failure to protect intellectual property rights or allegations that Aon infringes on the intellectual property rights of others; general economic and political conditions in different countries in which Aon does business around the world; the failure to retain, attract and develop experienced and qualified personnel; international risks associated with our global operations, including geopolitical conflicts, tariffs, sanctions or changes in trade policies; the effects of natural or human-caused disasters, including the effects of health pandemics and the impacts of climate related events; any system or network disruption or breach resulting in operational interruption or improper disclosure of confidential, personal, or proprietary data, and resulting liabilities or damage to our reputation; Aon’s ability to develop, implement, update and enhance new technology; the actions taken by third parties that perform aspects of Aon’s business operations and client services; Aon’s ability to continue, and the costs and risks associated with, growing, developing and integrating acquired business, and entering into new lines of business or products; Aon’s ability to secure regulatory approval and complete transactions, and the costs and risks associated with the failure to consummate proposed transactions; changes in commercial property and casualty markets, commercial premium rates or methods of compensation; Aon’s ability to develop and implement innovative growth strategies and initiatives intended to yield cost savings (including the Accelerating Aon United Program), and the ability to achieve such growth or cost savings; the effects of Irish law on Aon’s operating flexibility and the enforcement of judgments against Aon; and adverse effects on the market price of Aon’s securities and/or operating results for any reason, including, without limitation, because of a failure to realize the expected benefits of the acquisition of NFP (including anticipated revenue and growth synergies) in the expected timeframe, or at all.

Any or all of Aon’s forward-looking statements may turn out to be inaccurate, and there are no guarantees about Aon’s performance. The factors identified above are not exhaustive. Aon and its subsidiaries operate in a dynamic business environment in which new risks may emerge frequently. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the dates on which they are made. In addition, results for prior periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future period. Further information concerning Aon and its businesses, including factors that could materially affect Aon’s financial results, is contained in Aon’s filings with the SEC. See Aon’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 for a further discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties applicable to Aon and its businesses. These factors may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Aon is not under, and expressly disclaims, any obligation to update or alter any forward-looking statement that it may make from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Explanation of Non-GAAP Measures
This communication includes supplemental information not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), including organic revenue growth, free cash flow, adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted net income attributable to Aon shareholders, adjusted diluted net income per share (‘EPS”), adjusted effective tax rate, adjusted other income (expense), and adjusted income before income taxes that exclude the effects of intangible asset amortization and impairment, Accelerating Aon United Program expenses, contingent consideration, NFP integration costs, certain pension settlements, capital expenditures, and certain other noteworthy items that affected results for the comparable periods. Organic revenue growth includes the impact of intercompany activity and excludes foreign exchange rate changes, acquisitions (provided that organic revenue growth includes organic growth of an acquired business as calculated assuming that the acquired business was part of the combined company for the same proportion of the relevant prior-year period), divestitures (including held-for-sale disposal groups, which are adjusted from organic revenue growth upon classification as held-for-sale, if any), transfers between revenue lines, fiduciary investment income, and gains or losses on derivatives accounted for as hedges. Currency impact represents the effect on prior-year period results if they were translated at current period foreign exchange rates. Reconciliations to the closest U.S. GAAP measure for each non-GAAP measure presented in this communication are provided in the attached appendices. Supplemental organic revenue growth information and additional measures that exclude the effects of certain items noted above do not affect net income or any other U.S. GAAP reported amounts. Free cash flow is cash flows from operating activity less capital expenditures. The adjusted effective tax rate excludes the applicable tax impact associated with adjustments previously described, generally at the estimated annual effective tax rate or jurisdictional rate, where appropriate. Beginning in the third quarter of 2024, the adjusted effective tax rate also excludes interest accruals for income tax reserves related to the termination fee payment made in connection with the Company’s terminated proposed combination with Willis Towers Watson. Management believes that these measures are important to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons and that this supplemental information is helpful to investors. Management also uses these measures to assess operating performance and performance for compensation. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed in addition to, not in lieu of, Aon’s Consolidated Financial Statements. Industry peers provide similar supplemental information regarding their performance, although they may not make identical adjustments. Aon does not provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP measures, such as adjusted operating margin and the impact of foreign exchange on adjusted EPS, where Aon believes such a reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be misleading and is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the corresponding GAAP measures without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of Aon's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. For these reasons, Aon is also unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.
