The company also noted a slight decline in organic revenue growth rates, with a decrease of 0.7% in the second quarter, attributed to various market factors including changes in customer exposure and premium rates. The company’s employee headcount increased, reflecting its ongoing expansion strategy, although specific figures were not disclosed.

In terms of financial health, Brown & Brown's total assets stood at $29.887 billion as of June 30, 2026, with total liabilities of $17.279 billion, resulting in total equity of $12.608 billion.
