Aon plc reported a 16% increase in total revenue for the first quarter of 2025, reaching $4.729 billion, compared to $4.070 billion in the same period last year. This growth was driven by a $659 million increase, attributed to the acquisition of NFP and a 5% organic revenue growth, despite a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. The Risk Capital segment generated $3.191 billion in revenue, a 7% increase, while the Human Capital segment saw a significant 40% rise to $1.545 billion.
Operating expenses rose by 25% to $3.268 billion, primarily due to the ongoing operating expenses from NFP, increased amortization related to intangible assets from the acquisition, and investments in long-term growth initiatives. The operating income slightly decreased to $1.461 billion from $1.465 billion year-over-year, resulting in an operating margin decline to 30.9% from 36.0%. Net income attributable to Aon shareholders was $965 million, down from $1.071 billion, with diluted earnings per share at $4.43 compared to $5.35 in the prior year.
Aon completed seven acquisitions during the first quarter of 2025, including the acquisition of Griffiths & Armour, an insurance broker in the UK. This marked a significant increase from no acquisitions in the same quarter of the previous year. The company continues to implement its Accelerating Aon United Program, aimed at streamlining operations and optimizing its organizational structure, which incurred $110 million in costs during the quarter.
In terms of operational metrics, Aon reported a decrease in cash flows from operating activities to $140 million, down 55% from $309 million in the prior year. The company also experienced a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $305 million for the quarter. Aon’s total debt increased to $17.6 billion, reflecting ongoing financing activities related to the NFP acquisition. The company maintains a strong liquidity position, supported by cash flows from operations and available credit facilities.
Looking ahead, Aon remains focused on navigating the current macroeconomic environment, which includes geopolitical uncertainties and inflationary pressures. The company anticipates that its strategic initiatives, including the integration of NFP and the ongoing restructuring program, will position it for continued growth and operational efficiency in the future.
