Arthur J. Gallagher posted a genuinely impressive first quarter, with combined Brokerage and Risk Management revenues up 28% year-over-year, organic growth of 5% in Brokerage and 10% in Risk Management, and adjusted EBITDAC up 18%, marking 24 consecutive quarters of double-digit adjusted EBITDAC growth. The headline numbers are somewhat obscured by a $143 million interest income figure earned on funds held to acquire AssuredPartners in the prior-year period, which inflates the year-over-year comparison noise; stripping that out, the underlying revenue growth picture is even more striking at roughly 33% for Brokerage. EPS and adjusted revenues were both up approximately 30% on that adjusted basis, and management characterized results as at or better than the guidance provided at the March 17 Investor Day across virtually every metric.
