“We had an outstanding second quarter,” said Patrick G. Ryan, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ryan Specialty Group. “We made significant progress in the quarter in all facets of our business, and this momentum continued into the third quarter with the successful completion of our IPO, a major milestone in the continuing evolution of our organization. During the second quarter, we further advanced the integration of All Risks throughout our organization and the impact of that acquisition continues to resonate in the marketplace. We generated another quarter of strong double-digit organic revenue growth, fueled by our scaled distribution platform and expertise, both of which set us apart from our peers. We also continue to benefit from retail broker consolidation, further consolidation of wholesale broker panels, and a rapidly growing E&S market. We remain excited about the numerous opportunities we see for continued growth and investment in our capabilities, our technology and our talent in order to drive long-term shareholder value creation.”

Second Quarter 2021 Review*

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $390.0 million, an increase of 58.3% compared to $246.3 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of All Risks in September 2020, as well as year-over-year organic revenue growth of 28.5%, which was primarily driven by new client wins, expanded relationships with existing clients and premium rate increases.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2021 were $297.8 million, a 57.8% increase compared to the prior-year period. This was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense, which is heavily correlated to revenue growth as many of Ryan Specialty’s producers are compensated based on a percentage of the revenue they generate for the Company, as well as an increase in acquisition related long-term incentive compensation expense, which is primarily related to the All Risks acquisition. General and administrative expense increased compared to the prior year to accommodate revenue growth, while amortization of intangible assets increased as a result of the All Risks acquisition.

Net Income for the second quarter of 2021 was $63.4 million, a 27.1% increase compared to $49.9 million in the prior-year period. Net Income Margin was 16.3%, compared to 20.3% in the prior-year period due to certain non-operating charges in connection with the IPO, amortization from the acquired intangible assets from the All Risks acquisition, and an increase to interest expense in connection with the debt used to fund the All Risks acquisition.

Adjusted EBITDAC of $140.5 million represents an increase of 79.4% from $78.3 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDAC Margin for the quarter was 36.0%, a 420 basis points improvement compared to the prior-year period. The increases in Adjusted EBITDAC and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin were primarily driven by growth in revenue driving operating leverage in both Compensation and benefits expense and General and administrative expense, as well as continued execution of the Company’s restructuring plan. The plan, which the Company initiated in 2020, is anticipated to achieve $25 million in cumulative annualized cost savings when fully actioned by June 30, 2022.

Adjusted Net Income for the second quarter of 2021 rose 73.5% to $92.3 million, compared to $53.2 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted Net Income Margin improved 210 basis points to 23.7%, reflecting strong operating leverage as revenue growth outpaced growth in operating expenses.

Review of Second Quarter 2021 Revenue by Specialty

Wholesale Brokerage net commissions and fees increased by 48.7% to $256.0 million, compared to $172.1 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to strong organic growth within the specialty, as well as contributions from the All Risks acquisition.

Binding Authority net commissions and fees produced growth of 69.8% to $53.6 million, compared to $31.6 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to strong organic growth within the specialty, as well as contributions from the All Risks acquisition.

Underwriting Management net commissions and fees increased by 89.4% to $80.3 million, compared to $42.4 million in the prior-year period. This increase was due primarily to strong organic growth within the specialty, as well as the contributions from the All Risks acquisition.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

Ryan Specialty closed its IPO of 65,456,020 shares of Class A common stock (including full exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option) on July 26, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $307.5 million and outstanding debt principal of $1,638 million.

In connection with the closing of the IPO, the Company executed an agreement with its lenders to increase the revolving credit facility commitments from $300 million to $600 million.

Full Year 2021 Outlook*

The Company is providing its full year 2021 outlook for Organic Revenue Growth Rate and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin:

  • Organic Revenue Growth Rate for the full year 2021 is expected to be between 18.0% and 20.0%.
  • Adjusted EBITDAC Margin for the full year 2021 is expected to be between 30.0% and 30.5%.

We do not undertake, and expressly disclaim, any duty or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement after the date of this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions or otherwise.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators

In assessing the performance of our business, we use non-GAAP financial measures that are derived from our consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax position, depreciation, amortization and certain other items that we believe are not representative of our core business. We use the following non-GAAP measures for business planning purposes, in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors, to help investors to understand the nature of our growth, and to enable investors to evaluate the run-rate performance of the Company.

Organic Revenue Growth Rate: Organic Revenue Growth Rate represents the percentage change in revenue, as compared to the same period for the year prior, adjusted for revenue attributable to acquisitions during their first 12 months of the Company’s ownership, and other adjustments such as contingent commissions, fiduciary investment income, and foreign exchange rates. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Total Revenue Growth Rate.

Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense: Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense represents Compensation and Benefits Expense adjusted to reflect items such as (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) acquisition and restructuring related compensation expenses, and (iii) other exceptional or non-recurring compensation expenses, as applicable. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Compensation and Benefits Expense.

Adjusted General and Administrative Expense: Adjusted General and Administrative Expense represents General and Administrative Expense adjusted to reflect items such as (i) acquisition and restructuring related general and administrative expenses, (ii) other exceptional or non-recurring general and administrative expenses, as applicable. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is General and Administrative Expense.

Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense Ratio: Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense Ratio represents the Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of total revenue. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Compensation and Benefits Expense Ratio.

Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Ratio: Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Ratio represents the Adjusted General and Administrative Expense as a percentage of total revenue. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is General and Administrative Expense Ratio.

Adjusted EBITDAC: Adjusted EBITDAC is defined as Net Income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, and change in contingent consideration, adjusted to reflect items such as (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) acquisition-related expenses, and (iii) other exceptional or non-recurring items, as applicable. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income.

Adjusted EBITDAC Margin: Adjusted EBITDAC Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDAC as a percentage of total revenue. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income Margin.

Adjusted Net Income: Adjusted Net Income is tax-effected earnings before amortization and certain items of income and expense, gains and losses, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, and certain exceptional or non-recurring items. The Company will be subject to United States federal income taxes, in addition to state, local, and foreign taxes, with respect to our allocable share of any net taxable income of Ryan Specialty Group, LLC. For comparability purposes, this calculation incorporates the impact of federal and state statutory tax rates on 100% of our adjusted pre-tax income as if the Company owned 100% of Ryan Specialty Group, LLC. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income.

Adjusted Net Income Margin: Adjusted Net Income Margin is defined as Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of total revenue. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income Margin.

The reconciliation of the above non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP financial measure, is set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release.

With respect to Organic Revenue Growth Rate and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin outlook presented in the ‘Full Year 2021 Outlook’ section of this press release, the Company is unable to provide a comparable outlook for, or a reconciliation to, Total Revenue Growth Rate or Net Income because it cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. Its inability to do so is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities and other one-time or exceptional items.
