Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Brown & Brown, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (collectively, “we,” “Brown & Brown” or the “Company”), makes “forward-looking statements” within the “safe harbor” provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended, throughout this report and in the documents we incorporate by reference into this report. You can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimate,” “plan” and “continue” or similar words. We have based these statements on our current expectations about potential future events. Although we believe the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the reports, statements, information and announcements incorporated by reference into this report are based upon reasonable assumptions within the bounds of our knowledge of our business, a number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements, whether oral or written, made by us or on our behalf. Many of these factors have previously been identified in filings or statements made by us or on our behalf. Important factors which could cause our actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this report include but are not limited to the following items, in addition to those matters described in Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”:

• Future prospects;

• Material adverse changes in economic conditions in the markets we serve and in the general economy;

• Premium rates set by insurance companies and insurable exposure units, which have traditionally varied and are difficult to predict;

• Future regulatory actions and conditions in the states in which we conduct our business;

• The occurrence of adverse economic conditions, an adverse regulatory climate, or a disaster in California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington, because a significant portion of business written by us is for customers located in these states;

• Our ability to attract, retain and enhance qualified personnel;

• Competition from others in or entering into the insurance agency, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs and related service business;

• The integration of our operations with those of businesses or assets we have acquired or may acquire in the future and the failure to realize the expected benefits of such integration;

• Risks that could negatively affect our acquisition strategy, including continuing consolidation among insurance intermediaries and the increasing presence of private equity investors driving up valuations;

• Our ability to forecast liquidity needs through at least the end of 2017;

• Our ability to renew or replace expiring leases;

• Outcomes of existing or future legal proceedings and governmental investigations;

• Policy cancellations and renewal terms, which can be unpredictable;

• Potential changes to the tax rate that would affect the value of deferred tax assets and liabilities and the impact on income available for investment or distributable to shareholders;

• The inherent uncertainty in making estimates, judgments, and assumptions in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”);

• Our ability to effectively utilize technology to provide improved value for our customers or carrier partners as well as applying effective internal controls and efficiencies in operations; and

• Other risks and uncertainties as may be detailed from time to time in our public announcements and Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings.

Assumptions as to any of the foregoing and all statements are not based upon historical fact, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future results and events. Forward-looking statements that we make or that are made by others on our behalf are based upon a knowledge of our business and the environment in which we operate, but because of the factors listed above, among others, actual results may differ from those in the forward-looking statements. Consequently, these cautionary statements qualify all of the forward-looking statements we make herein. We cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that those results or developments will result in the expected consequences for us or affect us, our business or our operations in the way we expect. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1· Nature of Operations

Brown & Brown, Inc., a Florida corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Brown & Brown” or the “Company”) is a diversified insurance agency, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs and services organization that markets and sells to its customers, insurance products and services, primarily in the property, casualty and employee benefits areas. Brown & Brown’s business is divided into four reportable segments: the Retail Segment provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public and quasi-public entities, professional and individual customers; the National Programs Segment, acting as a managing general agent (“MGA”), provides professional liability and related package products for certain professionals, a range of insurance products for individuals, flood coverage, and targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches, all of which are delivered through nationwide networks of independent agents, including Brown & Brown retail agents; the Wholesale Brokerage Segment markets and sells excess and surplus commercial insurance, primarily through independent agents and brokers, as well as Brown & Brown Retail offices; and the Services Segment provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare Set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services, and claims adjusting services.

NOTE 2· Basis of Financial Reporting

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 .

The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2016, the Financial Accountings Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”: Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), which requires that the Statement of Cash Flows explain the changes during the period of cash and cash equivalents inclusive of amounts categorized as restricted cash. ASU 2016-18 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2017; however, the Company elected to early adopt for the reporting period ended March 31, 2017 under the full retrospective approach for all periods presented. With the adoption of ASU 2016-18, the change in restricted cash is no longer reflected as a change in operating assets and liabilities, and the Statement of Cash Flows details the changes in the balance of cash and cash equivalents inclusive of restricted cash. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were previously reported as $190.8 million. With the retrospective adoption, the net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 is now reported as $238.7 million. The Company reflects cash collected from customers that is payable to insurance companies as restricted cash if segregation of this cash is required by the state of domicile for the office conducting this transaction or if required by contract with the relevant insurance company providing coverage. Cash collected from customers that is payable to insurance companies is reported in cash and cash equivalents if no such restriction is required.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)”: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (a consensus of the Emerging Issues Task Force) (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified and applies to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. ASU 2016-15 will take effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has evaluated the impact of ASU 2016-15 and has determined there is no impact on the Company's Statement of Cash Flows. The Company already presents cash paid on contingent consideration in business combination as prescribed by ASU 2016-15 and does not, at this time, engage in the other activities being addressed.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which amends guidance issued in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of

Table of Contents

awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those fiscal years and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2017, as required. Prior periods have not been adjusted, as the guidance was adopted prospectively. The principal impact is that the tax benefit or expense from stock compensation is now presented in the income tax line of the Statement of Income whereas the prior treatment was to present this as a component of equity on the Balance Sheet. Also the tax benefit or expense is now presented as activity in Cash Flow from Operating Activity rather than the prior presentation as Cash Flow from Financing Activity in the Statement of Cash Flows. The Company also continues to estimate forfeitures of stock grants as allowed by ASU 2016-09.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal Versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross Versus Net)” (“ASU 2016-08”) to clarify certain aspects of the principal-versus-agent guidance included in the new revenue standard ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). The FASB issued the ASU in response to concerns identified by stakeholders, including those related to (1) determining the appropriate unit of account under the revenue standard’s principal-versus-agent guidance and (2) applying the indicators of whether an entity is a principal or an agent in accordance with the revenue standard’s control principle. ASU 2016-08 is effective contemporaneous with ASU 2014-09 beginning January 1, 2018. The impact of ASU 2016-08 is currently being evaluated along with ASU 2014-09. At this point in our evaluation the potential impact would primarily be limited to the claims administering activities within our Services Segment and therefore not material to the Company.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which provides guidance for accounting for leases. Under ASU 2016-02, the Company will be required to recognize the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leased assets. ASU 2016-02 will take effect for public companies for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of this pronouncement with the principal impact being that the present value of the remaining lease payments be presented as a liability on the Balance Sheet as well as an asset of similar value representing the “Right of Use” for those leased properties. As detailed in Note 13 of the 2016 10-K, the undiscounted contractual cash payments remaining on leased properties is $204.2 million as of June 30, 2017.

In November 2015, FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes” (“ASU 2015-17”), which simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as a single non-current item on the balance sheet. ASU 2015-17 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 with early adoption permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period. The Company adopted the guidance on January 1, 2017, as required. As a result, the Company retrospectively applied the guidance to the 2016 balance sheet by reclassifying $24.6 million from deferred income taxes (asset) to deferred income taxes, net (liability) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which provides guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets, and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which a company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. Specifically, in situations where multiple performance obligations exist within the contract, the use of estimates is required to allocate the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. Historically, approximately 70% of the Company’s commissions and fees revenue is in the form of commissions paid by insurance carriers. These commissions are earned upon the effective date of bound coverage, and no significant performance obligation remains after coverage is bound. Approximately 20% of the commissions and fees revenue is in the form of fees, which the Company has evaluated and determined that only a small portion will be affected. The remaining revenue streams are currently being evaluated, and this evaluation will be concluded in the third quarter. Fees are predominantly in our National Programs and Services Segments, and to a lesser extent in the large accounts business within our Retail Segment. At the conclusion of this evaluation, it may be determined that fee revenue from certain agreements will be recognized in earlier periods under the new guidance in comparison to our current accounting policies and others will be recognized in later periods. Based upon the work completed to date, management does not expect the overall impact to be material on a full-year basis, but may impact the timing of recognition between quarters. Additionally, management is evaluating the requirement per Accounting Standard Codification 340-40 ("ASC 340-40") to defer customer acquisition and contract fulfillment costs, and recognize these costs as the associated performance obligations are fulfilled. This evaluation includes evaluating the costs that would qualify for deferral as well as the timing of recognition of these costs in future periods. All customer acquisition and contract fulfillment costs are expensed as incurred today.

ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2018, after FASB voted to delay the effective date by one year. At that time, the Company may adopt the new standard under the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach.

We do not anticipate a material change in our internal control framework necessitated by the adoption of ASU 2014-09.

NOTE 3· Net Income Per Share

Basic EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares (including restricted shares) issued and outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus equivalent shares, assuming the exercise of stock options. The dilutive effect of stock options is computed by application of the treasury-stock method. The following is a reconciliation between basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding:

NOTE 4· Business Combinations

During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , Brown & Brown acquired the assets and assumed certain liabilities of three insurance intermediaries. Additionally, miscellaneous adjustments were recorded to the purchase price allocation of certain prior acquisitions completed within the last twelve months as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805 — Business Combinations (“ASC 805”). Such adjustments are presented in the “Other” category within the following two tables. The recorded purchase price for all acquisitions included an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in the fair value of earn-out obligations will be recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income when incurred.

The fair value of earn-out obligations is based on the present value of the expected future payments to be made to the sellers of the acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements. In determining fair value, the acquired business’s future performance is estimated using financial projections developed by management for the acquired business and reflects market participant assumptions regarding revenue growth and/or profitability. The expected future payments are estimated on the basis of the earn-out formula and performance targets specified in each purchase agreement compared to the associated financial projections. These payments are then discounted to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the likelihood that the forecasted earn-out payments will be made.

Based on the acquisition date and the complexity of the underlying valuation work, certain amounts included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements may be provisional and thus subject to further adjustments within the permitted measurement period, as defined in ASC 805. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , several adjustments were made within the permitted measurement period that resulted in an increase in the aggregate purchase price of the affected acquisitions of $1.4 million relating to the assumption of certain liabilities. These measurement period adjustments have been reflected as current period adjustments in the six months ended June 30, 2017 in accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-16 “Business Combinations”. The measurement period adjustments primarily impacted goodwill, with no effect on earnings or cash in the current period.

Cash paid for acquisitions was $ 11.5 million and $ 109.4 million in the six -month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. We completed three acquisitions (excluding book of business purchases) in the six -month period ended June 30, 2017 . We completed five acquisitions (excluding book of business purchases) in the six -month period ended June 30, 2016 .

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the purchase price allocations made as of the date of each acquisition for current year acquisitions and adjustments made during the measurement period for prior year acquisitions. During the measurement periods, the Company will adjust assets or liabilities if new information is obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have resulted in the recognition of those assets and liabilities as of that date. These adjustments are made in the period in which the amounts are determined and the current period income effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition date.

On December 22, 2006, the Company entered into a Master Shelf and Note Purchase Agreement (the “Master Agreement”) with a national insurance company (the “Purchaser”). The initial issuance of notes under the Master Agreement occurred on December 22, 2006, through the issuance of $25.0 million in Series C Senior Notes due December 22, 2016, with a fixed interest rate of 5.660% per year. On February 1, 2008, $25.0 million in Series D Senior Notes due January 15, 2015, with a fixed interest rate of 5.370% per year, were issued. On September 15, 2011, and pursuant to a Confirmation of Acceptance (the “Confirmation”), dated January 21, 2011, in connection with the Master Agreement, $100.0 million in Series E Senior Notes were issued and are due September 15, 2018, with a fixed interest rate of 4.500% per year. The Series E Senior Notes were issued for the sole purpose of retiring existing senior notes. On January 15, 2015 the Series D Senior Notes were redeemed at maturity using cash proceeds to pay off the principal of $25.0 million plus any remaining accrued interest. On December 22, 2016, the Series C Senior Notes were redeemed at maturity using cash proceeds to pay off the principal of $25.0 million plus any remaining accrued interest. As of June 30, 2017 , there was an outstanding debt balance issued under the provisions of the Master Agreement of $100.0 million .

On April 17, 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and certain other banks as co-syndication agents and co-documentation agents (the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Agreement in the amount of $1,350.0 million provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in the initial amount of $800.0 million and unsecured term loans in the initial amount of $550.0 million , either or both of which may, subject to lenders’ discretion, potentially be increased by up to $500.0 million . The Credit Facility was funded on May 20, 2014 in conjunction with the closing of The Wright Insurance Group, LLC (“Wright”) acquisition, with the $550.0 million term loan being funded as well as a drawdown of $375.0 million on the revolving loan facility. Use of these proceeds was to retire existing term loan debt and to facilitate the closing of the Wright acquisition as well as other acquisitions. The Credit Facility terminates on May 20, 2019, but either or both of the revolving Credit Facility and the term loans may be extended for two additional one -year periods at the Company’s request and at the discretion of the respective lenders. Interest and facility fees in respect to the Credit Facility are based on the better of the Company’s net debt leverage ratio or a non-credit enhanced senior unsecured long-term debt rating. Based on the Company’s net debt leverage ratio, the rates of interest charged on the term loan are 1.000% to 1.750% , and the revolving loan is 0.850% to 1.500% above the adjusted LIBOR rate for outstanding amounts drawn. There are fees included in the facility which include a facility fee based on the revolving credit commitments of the lenders (whether used or unused) at a rate of 0.150% to 0.250% and letter of credit fees based on the amounts of outstanding secured or unsecured letters of credit. The Credit Facility includes various covenants, limitations and events of default customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers.

On June 28, 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with the lender named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and certain other banks as co-syndication agents and co-documentation agents. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amended and restated the credit agreement dated April 17, 2014, among such parties (the “Original Credit Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement extends the applicable maturity date of the existing revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) of $800.0 million to June 28, 2022 and re-evidences unsecured term loans at $400.0 million while also extending the applicable maturity date to June 28, 2022. The term loan principal amortization schedule was reset with payments due quarterly. At the time of the execution of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, $67.5 million of principal from the original unsecured term loans was repaid using operating cash balances, and the Company added an additional $2.7 million in debt issuance costs related to the facility to the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company also expensed to the Consolidated Statements of Income $0.2 million of debt issuance costs related to the Original Credit Agreement due to certain lenders exiting prior to the modified agreement, while also carrying forward $1.6 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet the unamortized portion of the Original Credit Agreement debt issuance costs which will amortize over the term of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. On June 30, 2017, a scheduled principal payment of $5.0 million was satisfied per the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2017, there was an outstanding debt balance issued under the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement of $395.0 million with no borrowings outstanding against the revolving loan. Per the terms of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a scheduled principal payment of $5.0 million is due September 30, 2017.

On September 18, 2014, the Company issued $500.0 million of 4.200% unsecured senior notes due in 2024 . The senior notes were given investment grade ratings of BBB-/Baa3 with a stable outlook. The notes are subject to certain covenant restrictions and regulations which are customary for credit rated obligations. At the time of funding, the proceeds were offered at a discount of the original note amount which also excluded an underwriting fee discount. The net proceeds received from the issuance were used to repay the outstanding balance of $475.0 million on the revolving Credit Facility and for other general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was an outstanding debt balance of $500.0 million exclusive of the associated discount balance.

In conjunction with the acquisition of Social Security Advocates for the Disabled (SSAD) effective February 1, 2016, the company added a $0.5 million promissory note incurred as a payment to the sellers and payable after the one-year anniversary of the acquisition. The note had a nominal rate of interest 0.810%. On March 10, 2017, the promissory note was settled, plus any outstanding accrued interest, using cash.

The Master Agreement and the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios and comply with certain other covenants. The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The 30-day Adjusted LIBOR Rate as of June 30, 2017 was 1.250% .

NOTE 9· Legal and Regulatory Proceedings

The Company is involved in numerous pending or threatened proceedings by or against Brown & Brown, Inc. or one or more of its subsidiaries that arise in the ordinary course of business. The damages that may be claimed against the Company in these various proceedings are in some cases substantial, including in certain instances claims for punitive or extraordinary damages. Some of these claims and lawsuits have been resolved, others are in the process of being resolved and others are still in the investigation or discovery phase. The Company will continue to respond appropriately to these claims and lawsuits and to vigorously protect its interests.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company was successful in settling a lawsuit it had brought against certain former employees of Brown & Brown, their employer, AssuredPartners, Inc. and certain key executives of AssuredPartners. The settlement included a payment of $20,000,000 by AssuredPartners to Brown & Brown in exchange for releasing certain individuals from restrictive covenants in the employment contracts they had signed with the Company and provides protection for current Brown & Brown teammates from continued solicitation for employment by AssuredPartners.

The proceeds of the settlement were received in March 2017 and were recorded in the Other income line in the Statement of Income.

We continue to assess certain litigation and claims to determine the amounts, if any, that management believes will be paid as a result of such claims and litigation and, therefore, additional losses may be accrued and paid in the future, which could adversely impact the Company’s operating results, cash flows and overall liquidity. The Company maintains third-party insurance policies to provide coverage for certain legal claims, in an effort to mitigate its overall exposure to unanticipated claims or adverse decisions. However, as (i) one or more of the Company’s insurance carriers could take the position that portions of these claims are not covered by the Company’s insurance, (ii) to the extent that payments are made to resolve claims and lawsuits, applicable insurance policy limits are eroded and (iii) the claims and lawsuits relating to

Table of Contents

these matters are continuing to develop, it is possible that future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially affected by unfavorable resolutions of these matters. Based on the AM Best Company ratings of these third-party insurers, management does not believe there is a substantial risk of an insurer’s material non-performance related to any current insured claims.

On the basis of current information, the availability of insurance and legal advice, in management’s opinion, the Company is not currently involved in any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, operations and/or cash flows.

NOTE 10· Segment Information

Brown & Brown’s business is divided into four reportable segments:(1) the Retail Segment, which provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public and quasi-public entities, and to professional and individual customers; (2) the National Programs Segment, which acts as a MGA, provides professional liability and related package products for certain professionals, a range of insurance products for individuals, flood coverage, and targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches, all of which are delivered through nationwide networks of independent agents, and Brown & Brown retail agents; (3) the Wholesale Brokerage Segment, which markets and sells excess and surplus commercial and personal lines insurance, primarily through independent agents and brokers, as well as Brown & Brown retail agents; and (4) the Services Segment, which provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare Set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services and claims adjusting services.

Brown & Brown conducts all of its operations within the United States of America, except for a wholesale brokerage operation based in London, England, and retail operations in Bermuda and the Cayman Islands.

These operations earned $7.2 million and $6.5 million of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively. Long-lived assets held outside of the United States as of June 30, 2017 and 2016 were not material.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 . The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon revenues and income before income taxes. Inter-segment revenues are eliminated.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table.

Realized gains and losses are reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, with the cost of securities sold determined on a specific identification basis.

At June 30, 2017 , investments with a fair value of approximately $4.0 million were on deposit with state insurance departments to satisfy regulatory requirements.

NOTE 12· Reinsurance

Although the reinsurers are liable to the Company for amounts reinsured, our subsidiary, Wright National Flood Insurance Company (“Wright Flood”) remains primarily liable to its policyholders for the full amount of the policies written whether or not the reinsurers meet their obligations to the Company when they become due. The effects of reinsurance on premiums written and earned are as follows:

(in thousands)	Period from January 1, 2017 to June 30, 2017 — Written		Earned
Direct premiums	$ 277,930		$ 288,856
Ceded premiums	(277,925	)	(288,851	)
Net premiums	$ 5		$ 5

All premiums written by Wright Flood under the National Flood Insurance Program are 100% ceded to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, for which Wright Flood received a 30.9% expense allowance from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 . For the period from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 , the Company ceded $277.2 million of written premiums.

Effective April 1, 2014, Wright Flood is also a party to a quota share agreement whereby it cedes 100% of its gross excess flood premiums, excluding fees, to Arch Reinsurance Company and receives a 30.5% commission. Wright Flood ceded $0.7 million for the period from January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 . No loss data exists on this agreement.

Wright Flood also ceded 100% of the Homeowners, Private Passenger Auto Liability, and Other Liability Occurrence to Stillwater Insurance Company, formerly known as Fidelity National Insurance Company. This business is in runoff. Therefore, only loss data still exists on this business. As of June 30, 2017 , no ceded unpaid losses and loss adjustment expenses or incurred but not reported expenses for Homeowners, Private Passenger Auto Liability and Other Liability Occurrence existed.

As of June 30, 2017 the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet contained reinsurance recoverable of $22.5 million and prepaid reinsurance premiums of $297.7 million . There was no net activity in the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense during the period January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017 , as Wright Flood's direct premiums written were 100% ceded to two reinsurers. The balance of the reserve for losses and loss adjustment expense, excluding related reinsurance recoverable, as of June 30, 2017 was $22.5 million .

ITEM 2 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion updates the MD&A contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 , and the two discussions should be read together.

GENERAL

Company Overview — Second Quarter of 2017

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related Notes to those Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In addition, please see “Information Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below, regarding important information on non-GAAP financial measures contained in our discussion and analysis.

We are a diversified insurance agency, wholesale brokerage, insurance programs and services organization headquartered in Daytona Beach, Florida. As an insurance intermediary, our principal sources of revenue are commissions paid by insurance companies and, to a lesser extent, fees paid directly by customers. Commission revenues generally represent a percentage of the premium paid by an insured and are affected by fluctuations in both premium rate levels charged by insurance companies and the insureds’ underlying “insurable exposure units,” which are units that insurance companies use to measure or express insurance exposed to risk (such as property values, or sales and payroll levels) to determine what premium to charge the insured. Insurance companies establish these premium rates based upon many factors, including loss experience, risk profile and reinsurance rates paid by such insurance companies, none of which we control.

The volume of business from new and existing customers, fluctuations in insurable exposure units, changes in premium rate levels, and changes in general economic and competitive conditions all affect our revenues. For example, level rates of inflation or a general decline in economic activity could limit increases in the values of insurable exposure units. Conversely, increasing costs of litigation settlements and awards could cause some customers to seek higher levels of insurance coverage. Historically, our revenues have typically grown as a result of our focus on net new business growth and acquisitions. We foster a strong, decentralized sales and service culture with the goal of consistent, sustained growth over the long-term.

“Commissions and fees” is included in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The term “Organic Revenue”, a non-GAAP financial measure, is our “core commissions and fees” (which are our commissions and fees less profit-sharing contingent commissions and less guaranteed supplemental commissions, and therefore represents the revenues earned directly from specific insurance policies sold, and specific fee-based services rendered) less (i) the core commissions and fees earned for the first twelve months by newly-acquired operations and (ii) divested business (core commissions and fees generated from offices, books of business or niches sold or terminated during the comparable period). “Organic Revenue” is reported in this manner in order to express the current year’s core commissions and fees on a comparable basis with the prior year’s core commissions and fees. The resulting net change reflects the aggregate changes attributable to (i) net new and lost accounts, (ii) net changes in our customers’ exposure units, (iii) net changes in insurance premium rates or the commission rate

Table of Contents

paid to us by our carrier partners; and (iv) the net change in fees paid to us by our customers. We believe that Organic Revenue provides a meaningful representation of the Company’s operating performance. The Company has historically viewed Organic Revenue growth as an important indicator when assessing and evaluating the performance of its four segments. Organic revenue is reported in the Results of Operations and in the Results of Operations - Segment sections of this Form 10-Q.

We also earn “profit-sharing contingent commissions,” which are profit-sharing commissions based primarily on underwriting results, but which may also reflect considerations for volume, growth and/or retention. These commissions are primarily received in the first and second quarters of each year, based upon the aforementioned considerations for the prior year(s). Over the last three years, profit-sharing contingent commissions have averaged approximately 3.6% of the previous year’s commissions and fees revenue. Profit-sharing contingent commissions are included in our commissions and fees in the Consolidated Statement of Income in the year received. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 , profit-sharing contingent commissions were up $4.5 million as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Certain insurance companies offer guaranteed fixed-base agreements, referred to as “Guaranteed Supplemental Commissions” (“GSCs”) in lieu of profit-sharing contingent commissions. Since GSCs are not subject to the uncertainty of loss ratios, they are accrued throughout the year based on actual premiums written. For the twelve-month period ending December 31, 2016 , we had earned $11.5 million of GSCs, of which $9.2 million remained accrued at December 31, 2016, the balance of which is typically collected over the first and second quarter. For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , we earned and accrued $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, from GSCs.

Combined, our profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $4.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2016 , primarily in our National Programs Segment.

Fee revenues primarily relate to services other than securing coverage for our customers and are recognized as services are rendered, as well as fees negotiated in lieu of commissions. Fee revenues have historically been generated primarily by: (1) our Services Segment, which provides insurance-related services, including third-party claims administration and comprehensive medical utilization management services in both the workers’ compensation and all-lines liability arenas, as well as Medicare Set-aside services, Social Security disability and Medicare benefits advocacy services, and claims adjusting services; (2) our National Programs and Wholesale Brokerage Segments, which earn fees primarily for the issuance of insurance policies on behalf of insurance companies; and to a lesser extent (3) our Retail Segment in our large-account customer base. Fee revenues, on a consolidated basis, as a percentage of our total commissions and fees, represented 31.3% in 2016 , 30.6% in 2015 and 30.6% in 2014 .

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 , our total commissions and fees growth rate was 4.3% and our consolidated organic revenue growth rate was 1.6% . In the event that the gradual increases in insurable exposure units that occurred in the past few years continues through 2017 and premium rate changes are similar with 2016, we believe we will continue to see positive quarterly organic revenue growth rates in 2017.

Historically, investment income has consisted primarily of interest earnings on operating cash and where permitted, on premiums and advance premiums collected and held in a fiduciary capacity before being remitted to insurance companies. Our policy is to invest available funds in high-quality, short-term fixed income investment securities. Investment income also includes gains and losses realized from the sale of investments. Other income primarily reflects legal settlements and other miscellaneous income and for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $0.8 million as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Income before income taxes for the three-month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased from the second quarter of 2016 by $1.1 million , primarily as a result of the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables partially offset by acquisitions completed in the past twelve months and profits from existing customers and net new business.

Information Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

In the discussion and analysis of our results of operations, in addition to reporting financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), we provide references to the following non-GAAP financial measures as defined in Regulation G of SEC rules: organic revenue and organic revenue growth. We view these non-GAAP financial measures as important indicators when assessing and evaluating our performance on a consolidated basis and for each of our segments because they allow us to determine a comparable, but non-GAAP, measurement of revenue growth that is associated with the revenue sources that were a part of our business in both the current and prior year. We believe that organic revenue provides a meaningful representation of our operating performance and view organic revenue growth as an important indicator when assessing and evaluating the performance of our four segments. We also use organic revenue growth for incentive compensation determinations for executive officers and other key employees.

These measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to the GAAP information provided in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We present such non-GAAP supplemental financial information because we believe such information is of interest to the investment community and because we believe they provide additional meaningful methods of evaluating certain aspects of the Company’s operating performance from period to period on a basis that may not be otherwise apparent on a GAAP basis. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures improve the comparability of results between periods by eliminating the impact of certain items that have a high degree of variability. Our industry peers may provide similar supplemental non-GAAP information with respect to one or more of these measures, although they may

Table of Contents

not use the same or comparable terminology and may not make identical adjustments. This supplemental financial information should be considered in addition to, not in lieu of, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Tabular reconciliations of this supplemental non-GAAP financial information to our most comparable GAAP information are contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under “Results of Operation - Segment Information.”

Acquisitions

Part of our continuing business strategy is to attract high-quality insurance intermediaries to join our operations. From 1993 through the second quarter of 2017 , we acquired 482 insurance intermediary operations, excluding acquired books of business (customer accounts).

Critical Accounting Policies

We have had no changes to our Critical Accounting Policies. We believe that of our significant accounting and reporting policies, the more critical policies include our accounting for revenue recognition, business combinations and purchase price allocations, intangible asset impairments, non-cash stock-based compensation and reserves for litigation. In particular, the accounting for these areas requires significant use of judgment to be made by management. Different assumptions in the application of these policies could result in material changes in our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations. Refer to Note 1 in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission for details regarding our critical and significant accounting policies.

Commissions and Fees

Commissions and fees, including profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs, for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased $19.1 million to $464.7 million , or 4.3% over the same period in 2016 . Core commissions and fees revenue for the second quarter of 2017 increased $14.4 million , of which approximately $8.0 million represented core commissions and fees from agencies acquired since 2016 that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2016 . After accounting for divested business of $0.4 million , the remaining net increase of $6.8 million represented net new and renewal business, which reflects an organic revenue growth rate of 1.6% . Profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs for the second quarter of 2017 increased by $4.6 million , or 45.4% , compared to the same period in 2016 . The net increase of $4.6 million in the second quarter was mainly driven by an increase in profit-sharing contingent commissions in the National Program Segment as a result of growth in written premium, along with the receipt of certain contingent commissions that we did not qualify for in 2016 due to previous loss experience realized by insurance carriers.

Profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased by $3.2 million , or 7.3% , compared to the same period in 2016 . The net increase of $3.2 million in the first six months of 2017 was mainly driven by an increase in profit-sharing contingent commissions in the National Programs Segment, partially offset by a slight decrease in the Retail Segment as a result of loss experience for insurance carriers.

Investment Income

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $0.2 million , or 30.1% over the same period in 2016 . Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $0.3 million , or 35.4% , over the same period in 2016 . This decrease was related to a one-time receipt of interest on premium tax refunds received in 2016.

Other Income, net

Other income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $1.2 million , compared with $0.4 million in the same period in 2016 . Other income consists primarily of legal settlements and other miscellaneous income. The $0.8 million increase for the three months ended June 30, 2017 from the comparable period in 2016 was primarily a result of benefits received for the cash surrender value of life insurance policies.

Other income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $21.5 million , compared with $1.8 million in the same period in 2016 . The $19.7 million increase for the six months ended June 30, 2017 from the comparable period in 2016 was a result of a legal settlement recognized in the first quarter of 2017.

Employee Compensation and Benefits

Employee compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of total revenues increased to 52.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , from 51.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 . Employee compensation and benefits for the second quarter of 2017 increased approximately 5.8% , or $13.4 million , over the same period in 2016 . This net increase included (i) $3.9 million of compensation costs related to stand-alone acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2016 ; (ii) an increase in staff salaries attributable to salary inflation and higher volumes in portions of our business; (iii) increased producer commissions due to higher revenue; and (iv) the additional cost associated with the Retail Segment's producer incentive bonus program introduced in 2017.

Employee compensation and benefits expense as a percentage of total revenues increased to 52.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , from 52.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . Employee compensation and benefits for the first half of 2017 increased , by approximately 7.7% , or $35.2 million , over the same period in 2016 . This increase included (i) $9.4 million of compensation costs related to acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2016 ; (ii) an increase in staff salaries attributable to salary inflation and higher volumes in portions of our business; (iii) increased producer commissions due to higher revenue; (iv) increased non-cash stock based compensation due to larger forfeiture credits recorded in the first quarter of 2016; and (v) the additional cost associated with the Retail segment producer incentive bonus program introduced in 2017.

Other Operating Expenses

As a percentage of total revenues, other operating expenses represented 15.3% in the second quarter of 2017 , versus 14.8% reported in the second quarter of 2016 . Other operating expenses for the second quarter of 2017 increased $5.0 million , or 7.6% , over the same period of 2016 , of which $0.7 million was related to acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2016 . The remaining other operating expenses for both three-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, increased by $4.3 million , which was primarily attributable to (i) increased expenses associated with our investment in information technology and consulting; (ii) a credit of approximately $2.8 million associated with premium tax refunds recognized in the second quarter of 2016; and (iii) partially offset by the benefits from our strategic purchasing program.

Other operating expenses represented 14.8% of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2017 , versus 14.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 . Other operating expenses for the first half of 2017 increased $8.3 million , or 6.4% , over the same period of 2016 , of which $3.0 million was related to acquisitions that had no comparable costs in the same period of 2016 . The remaining other operating expenses for both of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , respectively, increased by $5.3 million , which was primarily attributable to (i) increased expenses associated with our investment in information technology; (ii) a credit of approximately $5.8 million associated with premium tax refunds recognized in the first half of 2016; and (iii) partially offset by the benefits from our strategic purchasing program.

Gain on Disposal

Gain on disposal for the second quarter of 2017 decreased $0.8 million from the second quarter of 2016 . Gain on disposal for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $2.8 million from the six months ended June 30, 2016 . The change in the gain on disposal for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was due to activity associated with book of business sales. Although we are not in the business of selling customer accounts or businesses, we periodically sell an office or a book of business (one or more customer accounts) because we believe doing so is in the Company’s best interest.

Amortization

Amortization expense for the second quarter of 2017 decreased $0.3 million , or 1.2% , over the second quarter of 2016 . Amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $0.3 million , or 0.6% , over the six months ended June 30, 2016 . These decreases reflect certain intangibles becoming fully amortized, partially offset with amortization of new intangibles from recently acquired businesses.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense for the second quarter of 2017 increased $0.3 million , or 5.6% , compared to the second quarter of 2016 . Depreciation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased $1.1 million , or 10.1% , over the six months ended June 30, 2016 . These changes were due primarily to the addition of fixed assets resulting from acquisitions completed since the first half of 2016, net of assets which became fully depreciated.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the second quarter of 2017 remained flat compared to the second quarter of 2016 . Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased $0.2 million , or 0.9% , over the six months ended June 30, 2016 . This decrease was due to a lower effective interest rate for our Credit Facility term loan and the scheduled amortized principal payments on the Credit Facility term loan, which has reduced the Company's average debt balance.

Change in Estimated Acquisition Earn-Out Payables

Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805- Business Combinations is the authoritative guidance requiring an acquiring entity to recognize 100% of the fair value of acquired assets, including goodwill, and assumed liabilities (with only limited exceptions) upon initially obtaining control of an acquired entity. Additionally, the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements (such as earn-out purchase price arrangements) at the acquisition date must be included in the purchase price consideration. As a result, the recorded purchase prices for all acquisitions consummated after January 1, 2009 include an estimation of the fair value of liabilities associated with any potential earn-out provisions. Subsequent changes in these earn-out obligations are required to be recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Income when incurred or reasonably estimated. Estimations of potential earn-out obligations are typically based upon future earnings of the acquired operations or entities, usually for periods ranging from one to three years.

The net charge or credit to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income for the period is the combination of the net change in the estimated acquisition earn-out payables balance, and the interest expense imputed on the outstanding balance of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables.

As of June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the fair values of the estimated acquisition earn-out payables were re-evaluated based upon projected operating results and measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) as defined in ASC 820- Fair Value Measurement . The resulting net changes, as well as the interest expense accretion on the estimated acquisition earn-out payables, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:

(in thousands)	For the three months ended June 30, — 2017	2016	For the six months ended June 30, — 2017	2016
Change in fair value of estimated acquisition earn-out payables	$ 4,851	$ 3,385	$ 8,186	$ 1,822
Interest expense accretion	738	672	1,431	1,414
Net change in earnings from estimated acquisition earn-out payables	$ 5,589	$ 4,057	$ 9,617	$ 3,236

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the fair value of estimated earn-out payables was re-evaluated and increased by $4.9 million and $3.4 million , respectively, which resulted in charges to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 , the fair value of estimated earn-out payables was re-evaluated and increased by $8.2 million and $1.8 million , respectively, which resulted in charges to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income.

As of June 30, 2017 , the estimated acquisition earn-out payables equaled $57.9 million , of which $44.0 million was recorded as accounts payable and $13.9 million was recorded as other non-current liability.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate on income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 38.8% and 39.3% , respectively. The effective tax rate on income from operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 was 37.8% and 39.4% respectively. The decrease is related to the adoption in the first quarter of 2017, of FASB Accounting Standards Update 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”), which amends guidance issued in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation, that requires upon vesting of stock based compensation, any tax implications be treated as a discrete credit to the income tax expense in the quarter of vesting.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — SEGMENT INFORMATION

As discussed in Note 10 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we operate four reportable segments: Retail, National Programs, Wholesale Brokerage, and Services. On a segmented basis, changes in amortization, depreciation and interest expenses generally result from activity associated with acquisitions. Likewise, other income in each segment reflects net gains primarily from legal settlements and miscellaneous income. As such, in evaluating the operational efficiency of a segment, management focuses upon the organic revenue growth rate of core commissions and fees revenue, the ratio of total employee compensation and benefits to total revenues, and the ratio of other operating expenses to total revenues.

The reconciliation of commissions and fees, included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income, to organic revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 , and 2016 , is as follows:

Retail Segment

The Retail Segment provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public and quasi-public, professional and individual insured customers. Approximately 89% of the Retail Segment’s commissions and fees revenue is commission-based. Because most of our other operating expenses are not correlated to changes in commissions on insurance premiums, a significant portion of any fluctuation in the commissions we receive, net of related producer compensation, will result in a similar fluctuation in our income before income taxes, unless we make incremental investments or modifications to the costs in the organization.

The Retail Segment’s total revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased 1.9% , or $4.4 million , over the same period in 2016 , to $239.0 million . The $3.4 million increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) $2.6 million related to net new and renewal business; (ii) approximately $1.2 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2016; and (iii) an offsetting decrease of $0.4 million related to commissions and fees revenue from business divested in 2016 and 2017 . Profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs for the second quarter of 2017 increased 10.1% , or $0.4 million , from the same period in 2016 , to $4.1 million due to better performance realized by our insurance carrier partners. The Retail Segment’s growth rate for total commissions and fees was 1.6% and the organic revenue growth rate was 1.1% for the second quarter of 2017 . The organic revenue growth rate was driven by revenue from net new and renewal business written during the preceding twelve months, and was partially offset by continued reductions in property insurance premium rates, particularly in catastrophe prone areas. The organic revenue growth rate was further moderated by timing items related to revenue that was recognized in previous quarters.

National Programs Segment

The National Programs Segment manages over 50 programs supported by approximately 40 well-capitalized carrier partners. In most cases, the insurance carriers that support the programs have delegated underwriting and, in many instances, claims-handling authority to our programs operations. These programs are generally distributed through a nationwide network of independent agents and Brown & Brown retail agents, and offer targeted products and services designed for specific industries, trade groups, professions, public entities and market niches. The National Programs Segment operations can be grouped into five broad categories: Professional Programs, Arrowhead Insurance Programs, Commercial Programs, Public Entity-Related Programs and the National Flood Program. The National Programs Segment’s revenue is primarily commission-based.

The National Program Segment’s revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased 4.5% , or $4.9 million , from the same period in 2016 , to $113.7 million . The $0.9 million net increase in core commissions and fees revenue was driven by: (i) $0.9 million related to net new and renewal business; (ii) approximately $0.2 million related to the core commissions and fees revenue from acquisitions that had no comparable revenues in the same period of 2016; and (iii) a decrease of $0.2 million related to commissions and fees revenue recorded in the second quarter of 2016 from businesses since divested. Profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs were $8.6 million for the second quarter of 2017 , which was an increase of $4.2 million from the second quarter of 2016 , primarily related to new or increased contingent commissions due to improvement of our carrier partners’ loss ratios.

Table of Contents

The National Programs Segment’s growth rate for total commissions and fees was 4.6% and the organic revenue growth rate was 0.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 . This organic revenue growth rate was mainly due to strong growth in our lender placed coverage program, commercial and residential earthquake programs and our all-risk program that continue to build momentum. The growth from these and other programs was substantially offset by continued downward rate pressure for our coastal property programs and the impact related to a change in carrier risk appetite.

Income before income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2017 increased 5.2% , or $1.2 million , from the same period in 2016 , to $23.4 million . The increase was driven by the net revenue growth noted above, and continued expense management initiatives as we grow and scale our programs along with a $2.5 million decrease in the intercompany interest expense charge for acquisitions. We charge our segments an intercompany interest charge associated with the cost of capital for each business they acquire. This intercompany interest charge is reduced each year according to a fixed amortization schedule.

The National Programs Segment's revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 2.4% , or $5.0 million , from the same period in 2016 , to $214.9 million .

Profit-sharing contingent commissions and GSCs were $14.3 million for the first six months of 2017 , which was an increase of $4.6 million from the same period in 2016 .

The National Programs Segment’s growth rate for total commissions and fees was 2.5% and the organic revenue growth rate was 0.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . This organic revenue growth rate was mainly due to strong growth in our lender placed coverage program, commercial and residential earthquake programs and our all-risk programs that continue to build momentum. The growth from these and other programs was substantially offset by continued downward rate pressure for our coastal property programs and the impact related to carrier risk appetite at certain programs.

Income before income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2017 decreased 0.3% , or $0.1 million , from the same period in 2016 , to $35.9 million . The decrease was driven by $5.8 million in prior year credits related to premium taxes and a $2.4 million increase in employee compensation and benefits. This decrease was partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease in the intercompany interest expense charge for acquisitions along with additional profit associated with the overall growth in revenue. We charge our segments an intercompany interest charge associated with the cost of capital for each business they acquire. This intercompany interest charge is reduced each year according to a fixed amortization schedule.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our capital requirements to operate as an insurance intermediary are low and we have been able to grow and invest in our business principally through cash that has been generated from operations. If necessary, we also have available our revolving credit facility, which provides up to $800.0 million in available cash, and we believe that we have access to additional funds, if needed, through the capital markets to obtain further debt financing under the current market conditions. The Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investment portfolio and funds generated from operations, together with the funds available under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below), will be sufficient to satisfy our normal liquidity needs, including principal payments on our long-term debt, for at least the next twelve months.

For further discussion of our cash management and risk management policies, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.”

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and equity prices. We are exposed to market risk through our investments, revolving credit line, term loan agreements and international operations.

Our invested assets are held primarily as cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, available-for-sale marketable debt securities, non-marketable debt securities, certificates of deposit, U.S. treasury securities, and professionally managed short duration fixed income funds. These investments are subject to interest rate risk. The fair values of our invested assets at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , approximated their respective carrying values due to their short-term duration and therefore, such market risk is not considered to be material.

We do not actively invest or trade in equity securities. In addition, we generally dispose of any significant equity securities received in conjunction with an acquisition shortly after the acquisition date.

As of June 30, 2017 , we had $395.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our term loan which bears interest on a floating basis tied to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) and therefore subject to changes in the associated interest expense. The effect of an immediate hypothetical 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

We are subject to exchange rate risk primarily in our U.K-based wholesale brokerage business that has a cost base principally denominated in British pounds and a revenue base in several other currencies, but principally in U.S. dollars. Based upon our foreign currency rate exposure as of June 30, 2017 , an immediate 10% hypothetical change of foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation (the “Evaluation”) required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act (“Disclosure Controls”) as of June 30, 2017 . Based upon the Evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that the design and operation of our Disclosure Controls were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our senior management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Changes in Internal Controls

There has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the Evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 , that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple

error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

CEO and CFO Certifications

Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 are the Certifications of the CEO and the CFO, respectively. The Certifications are supplied in accordance with Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Section 302 Certifications”). This Item 4 of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains the information concerning the evaluation referred to in the Section 302 Certifications and this information should be read in conjunction with the Section 302 Certifications for a more complete understanding of the topics presented.
