<p class="has-drop-cap">Aon plc (NYSE: AON) reported an 18% increase in total revenue for the <a href="https://aon.mediaroom.com/2024-07-26-Aon-Reports-Second-Quarter-2024-Results" target="_blank" aria-label="second quarter of 2024 (opens in a new tab)" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">second quarter of 2024</a>, reaching $3.8 billion compared to the prior year period. This growth was driven by a combination of acquired revenues from NFP and a 6% organic revenue growth, partially offset by a 1% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. <br><br>Despite this revenue growth, the company’s operating margin decreased by 910 basis points to 17.4%. However, on an adjusted basis, the operating margin saw a slight increase of 10 basis points to 27.4%.</p>
<p>The company also reported a decrease in net income attributable to Aon shareholders, which fell by 6% to $524 million. Adjusted net income, however, increased by 9% to $624 million. <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Earnings per share (EPS)</a> decreased by 9% to $2.46, while adjusted EPS rose by 6% to $2.93. <br><br>The decline in GAAP EPS was attributed to higher operating expenses, which increased by 33% to $3.1 billion, primarily due to the inclusion of NFP’s ongoing expenses and restructuring program charges.</p>
<h3 id="aon-falls-short-on-eps-expectations-in-q2-posts-better-than-expected-revenue">AON Falls Short on EPS Expectations in Q2, Posts Better than Expected Revenue</h3>
<p>Aon’s second-quarter performance showed mixed results when compared to market expectations. The company reported an adjusted EPS of $2.93, which fell short of the expected EPS of $3.09. This represents a 5% shortfall. <br><br>On the revenue front, Aon exceeded expectations by reporting $3.8 billion in revenue, surpassing the anticipated $3.74 billion. This demonstrates the company’s ability to generate higher-than-expected revenue despite facing challenges in meeting EPS targets.</p>
<p>The company’s organic revenue growth was robust across various segments. Commercial Risk Solutions saw a 6% growth, driven by new business generation and strong retention across all major geographies. Reinsurance Solutions also performed well with a 7% organic revenue growth, reflecting strong growth in treaty and facultative placements. <br><br>Health Solutions and Wealth Solutions reported 6% and 9% organic revenue growth, respectively, highlighting the strength in core health and benefits brokerage and advisory demand in retirement services.</p>

<h3 id="guidance">Guidance</h3>
<p>Looking ahead, Aon provided insights into its future performance, particularly concerning the impact of foreign currency translation. The company expects an unfavorable impact of approximately $0.01 per share on adjusted operating income in the third quarter of 2024 if currency rates remain stable. This impact is projected to increase to $0.02 per share in the fourth quarter, resulting in a total unfavorable impact of $0.07 per share for the full year 2024. This translates to an approximate $21 million decrease in adjusted operating income for the year.</p>
<p>Aon also highlighted its ongoing integration of NFP and the anticipated financial commitments. The acquisition of NFP, valued at $13.0 billion, is expected to contribute significantly to the company’s growth. However, the integration process will incur non-recurring costs, including transaction and integration costs, which were $95 million in the second quarter.</p> <iframe src="https://tokenist.substack.com/embed" width="100%" height="320" style="border:1px solid #EEE; background:white;" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe>
