Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities

Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of

historical fact included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking

statements give our current expectations relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future

performance and business. You can identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to

historical or current facts. These statements may include words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,”

“plan,” “intend,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “can have,” “likely” and other words and terms of similar meaning in

connection with any discussion of the timing or nature of future operating or financial performance or other events. For

example, all statements we make relating to our estimated costs, expenditures, cash flows, growth rates and financial

results, any future dividends, our plans, and objectives for future operations, growth or initiatives, strategies or the expected

outcome or impact of pending or threatened litigation, are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are

subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected, including:

•our failure to successfully recruit and retain our senior management team, revenue producers or other key

employees and to successfully plan and prepare for the succession of our senior management team;

•the potential loss of our relationships with insurance carriers or our clients, failure to maintain good

relationships with insurance carriers or clients, becoming dependent upon a limited number of insurance

carriers or clients or the failure to develop new insurance carrier and client relationships;

•errors in, or ineffectiveness of, our underwriting models and the risks presented to our reputation and

relationships with insurance carriers, retail brokers and agents;

•failure to maintain, protect, and enhance our brand or prevent damage to our reputation;

•the unsatisfactory evaluation of potential acquisitions or the failure to successfully integrate acquired

businesses and/or introduce new products, lines of business, and/or markets;

•the impact of third parties that perform key functions of our business operations acting in ways that harm our

business;

•the cyclicality of, and the economic conditions in, the markets in which we operate and conditions that result

in reduced insurer capacity or a migration of business away from the E&S market and into the Admitted

market;

•a reduction in insurer capacity to adequately and appropriately underwrite risk and provide coverage;

•our international operations expose us to various international risks, including required compliance with

evolving legal and regulatory obligations, that are different, and at times more burdensome, than those set

forth in the United States;

•changes in interest rates and deterioration of credit quality could reduce the value of our cash balances or

interest income;

•failure to maintain the valuable aspects of our Company’s culture;

•significant competitive pressures in each of our businesses;

•decreases in premiums or commission rates set by insurers, or actions by insurers seeking repayment of

commissions;

•decrease in the amount of supplemental or contingent commissions we receive;

•our inability to collect our receivables;

•disintermediation within the insurance industry and shifts away from traditional insurance markets;

•changes in the mode of compensation in the insurance industry;

•impairment of goodwill and intangibles;

•the impact on our operations and financial condition from the effects of a pandemic or the outbreak of a

contagious disease and resulting governmental and societal responses;

•the inability to maintain strong growth and generate sufficient revenue to maintain profitability;

ii

•the loss of clients or business as a result of consolidation within the retail insurance brokerage industry;

•the impact if our MGA or MGU programs are terminated or changed;

•significant investment in our growth strategy and whether expectation of internal efficiencies are realized;

•the unavailability or inaccuracy of our clients’ and third parties’ data for pricing and underwriting insurance

policies;

•the competitiveness and cyclicality of the reinsurance industry;

•the occurrence of natural or man-made disasters;

•the challenges with properly assessing, adapting to, and managing the adoption and use of artificial

intelligence and other evolving technologies;

•the economic and political conditions of the countries and regions in which we operate;

•the failure, or take-over by the FDIC, of one of the financial institutions that we use;

•our inability to respond quickly to operational or financial problems or promote the desired level of

cooperation and interaction among our offices;

•our international operations expose us to various international risks, including exchange rate fluctuations;

•changing expectations over corporate responsibility and stakeholder interests;

•the impact of breaches in security that cause significant system or network disruption or business interruption;

•the impact of improper disclosure of confidential, personal or proprietary data, misuse of information by

employees or counterparties or as a result of cyber incidents and cyberattacks;

•our inability to gain internal efficiencies through the application of technology or effectively apply

technology in driving value for our clients or the failure of technology and automated systems to function or

perform as expected;

•the impact of infringement, misappropriation or dilution of our intellectual property;

•the impact of the failure to protect our intellectual property rights, or allegations that we have infringed on the

intellectual property rights of others;

•the impact of evolving governmental regulations, legal proceedings, and governmental inquiries related to our

business;

•our outstanding debt potentially adversely affecting our financial flexibility and subjecting us to contractual

restrictions and limitations that could significantly affect our ability to operate and manage our business;

actions to satisfy our obligations under such indebtedness;

•being affected by further changes in the U.S. based credit markets;

•changes in our credit ratings;

•risks relating to our organizational structure that could result in conflicts of interests between the LLC

Unitholders, the Ryan Parties, and the holders of our Class A common stock; and

•other factors disclosed in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our

Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

iii

We derive many of our forward-looking statements from our operating budgets and forecasts that are based on many

detailed assumptions. While we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, we caution that it is very difficult to predict

the impact of known factors, and it is impossible for us to anticipate all factors that could affect our actual results.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are

disclosed under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition

and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under the Section entitled “Risk Factors” in the

Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. All written and oral forward-looking

statements attributable to us, or persons acting on our behalf, are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary

statements as well as other cautionary statements that are made from time to time in our filings with the SEC and other

public communications. You should evaluate all forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q

in the context of these risks and uncertainties.

In addition, statements that “we believe” and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject.

These statements are based upon information available to us as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and

while we believe such information forms a reasonable basis for such statements, such information may be limited or

incomplete, and our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review

of, all potentially available relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain and investors are cautioned not

to unduly rely upon these statements.

We caution you that the important factors referenced above may not contain all of the factors that are important to you. In

addition, we cannot assure you that we will realize the results or developments we expect or anticipate or, even if

substantially realized, that they will result in the consequences or affect us or our operations in the way we expect. The

forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof. We

undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or

otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(Tabular amounts presented in thousands, except share and per share data)

1.      Basis of Presentation

Nature of Operations

Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is a service provider of specialty products and solutions for insurance

brokers, agents, and carriers. These services encompass distribution, underwriting, product development, administration,

and risk management by acting as a wholesale broker and a managing underwriter or a program administrator with

delegated authority from insurance carriers. The Company’s offerings cover a wide variety of sectors including

commercial, industrial, institutional, governmental, and personal through one operating segment, Ryan Specialty. With the

exception of the Company’s equity method investments, the Company does not take on any underwriting risk.

The Company is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, and has operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe,

Canada, India, and Singapore. The Company’s Class A common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under

the ticker symbol “RYAN”.

Organization

Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. was formed as a Delaware corporation on March 5, 2021, for the purpose of completing an

IPO and to carry on the business of the LLC. New Ryan Specialty, LLC, or New LLC, was formed as a Delaware limited

liability company on April 20, 2021, for the purpose of becoming, subsequent to our IPO, an intermediate holding

company between Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. and the LLC. The Company is the sole managing member of New LLC.

New LLC is a holding company with its sole material asset being a controlling equity interest in the LLC. The Company

operates and controls the business and affairs of the LLC through New LLC and, through the LLC, conducts its business.

Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of New LLC, and therefore the LLC, and reports the non-

controlling interests of New LLC’s Common Units on its consolidated financial statements. As the LLC is substantively

the same as New LLC, for the purpose of this document, we will refer to both New LLC and the LLC as the “LLC”. As of

September 30, 2025, the Company owned 48.8% of the outstanding LLC Common Units.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance

with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance

with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information.

These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial

statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21,

2025. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include all normal recurring

adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows

for all periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that it

controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest or pursuant to variable interest entity (“VIE”) accounting. All

intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company, through its intermediate holding company New LLC, owns a minority economic interest in, and operates

and controls the businesses and affairs of, the LLC. The LLC is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary

beneficiary of the LLC as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the LLC’s

economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, and receive benefits from, the LLC, which could be

significant to the Company. Accordingly, the Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance

with Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires that if an entity is the primary

beneficiary of a VIE, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE should be included in the consolidated

financial statements of such entity. The Company’s relationship with the LLC results in no recourse to the general credit of

the Company and the Company has no contractual requirement to provide financial support to the LLC. The Company

shares in the income and losses of the LLC in direct proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage.

10

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto requires management to make

estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated interim financial

statements and in the notes thereto. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as circumstances change or

more information becomes available, which could affect the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed for

the year ended December 31, 2024, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 21,

2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncement Recently Adopted

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Measurement of

Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient permitting entities to

assume that current conditions as of the balance sheet date do not change for the remaining life of current accounts

receivables and contract assets when estimating expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods

beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early

adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard prospectively as of September 30, 2025, with no material impact

to the consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) — Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures,

which includes amendments that further enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and

disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual

periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied

on a prospective basis, however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of

adopting this ASU on its income tax disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income — Expense

Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) — Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires the

disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial

statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal

years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU may be applied

either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its

disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — Internal-Use Software (Subtopic

350-40) — Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which removes all references to

prescriptive and sequential software development stages and instead requires entities to begin capitalizing costs once

management has authorized and committed to funding the software, and it is probable that the project will be completed

and used to perform its intended functions. Significant uncertainty regarding development activities must be assessed when

evaluating if a project is probable to be completed. Additionally, the ASU clarifies certain disclosure requirements for

capitalized internal-use software costs. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15,

2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments

in this ASU may be applied prospectively, using a modified transition approach, or retrospectively. The Company is

currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Tax Legislation

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which includes a broad range of tax reform provisions, was

signed into law in the United States. The Company does not expect the OBBBA to have a material impact on its

consolidated financial statements or disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2025, and is currently evaluating the

impact on subsequent periods.

Total Net commissions and fees	$739,552	$588,129	$2,256,537	$1,806,264

medical stop loss business, are included within Commissions and fees receivable – net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The contract assets balance was $40.7 million and $35.6 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,

Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $14.2 million and $8.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,

respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, $0.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of

Ryan Specialty’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000,000 shares of

Class A common stock, 1,000,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, and 500,000,000 shares of preferred stock, each

having a par value of $0.001 per share.

The New LLC Operating Agreement requires that the Company and the LLC at all times maintain a one-to-one ratio

between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company and the number of LLC Common Units

owned by the Company, except as otherwise determined by the Company.

Class A and Class B Common Stock

Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is entitled to 10

votes per share but, upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of

incorporation, or as of September 30, 2029, at the latest, each share will be entitled to one vote per share in the future. All

holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class except as otherwise required

by applicable law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. Holders of Class B common stock do not have

any right to receive dividends or distributions upon the liquidation or winding up of the Company.

In accordance with the New LLC Operating Agreement, the LLC Unitholders are entitled to exchange LLC Common Units

for shares of Class A common stock, or, at the Company’s election, for cash from a substantially concurrent public offering

or private sale (based on the price of our Class A common stock in such public offering or private sale). The LLC

Unitholders are also required to deliver to the Company an equivalent number of shares of Class B common stock to

effectuate such an exchange. Any shares of Class B common stock so delivered will be canceled. Shares of Class B

common stock are not issued for Class C Incentive Units that are exchanged for LLC Common Units as these LLC

Common Units are immediately exchanged for Class A common stock as discussed in Note 8, Equity-Based

Compensation.

18

Class X Common Stock

As of September 30, 2025, the Company amended and restated its certificate of incorporation to, among other changes,

eliminate Class X common stock and, as such, it is no longer authorized to be issued. As of December 31, 2024, there were

10,000,000 shares of Class X common stock authorized. However, there were no shares of Class X common stock

outstanding as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Shares of Class X common stock had no economic, voting, or

dividend rights.

Preferred Stock

There were no shares of preferred stock outstanding as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Under the terms of

the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Board is authorized to direct the Company to issue shares of

preferred stock in one or more series without stockholder approval. The Board has the discretion to determine the rights,

preferences, privileges, and restrictions, including voting rights, dividend rights, conversion rights, redemption privileges,

and liquidation preferences, of each series of preferred stock.

Dividends

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash

dividend of $0.12 per share on the Company’s outstanding Class A common stock. During the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, $45.5 million of dividends were paid on Class A common stock.

Non-controlling Interests

The Company is the sole managing member of the LLC. As a result, the Company consolidates the LLC in its consolidated

financial statements, resulting in non-controlling interests related to the LLC Common Units not held by the Company. As

of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company owned 48.8% and 47.9%, respectively, of the economic

interests in the LLC, while the non-controlling interest holders owned the remaining 51.2% and 52.1%, respectively, of the

economic interests in the LLC.

Weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income (loss) and

other comprehensive income (loss) to the Company and the non-controlling interest holders. The non-controlling interest

holders’ weighted average ownership percentage was 51.2% and 57.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2025

and 2024, respectively, and 51.6% and 55.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

8.      Equity-Based Compensation

The Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) governs, among other things, the

for potential grants of the following awards: (i) stock options, (ii) stock appreciation rights, (iii) restricted stock awards,

(iv) performance awards, (v) other stock-based awards, (vi) other cash-based awards, and (vii) analogous equity awards

made in equity of the LLC.

IPO-Related Awards

As a result of the Organizational Transactions, pre-IPO holders of LLC Units that were granted as incentive awards, which

had historically been classified as equity and vested pro rata over five years, were required to exchange their LLC Units for

either Restricted Stock or Restricted Common Units. Additionally, Reload Options or Reload Class C Incentive Units were

issued to employees in order to protect against the dilution of their existing awards upon exchange to the new awards.

Separately, certain employees were granted one or more of the following new awards: (i) Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”),

(ii) Staking Options, (iii) Restricted LLC Units (“RLUs”), or (iv) Staking Class C Incentive Units. The terms of these

awards are described below. All awards granted as part of the Organizational Transactions and the IPO are subject to non-

linear transfer restrictions for at least the five-year period following the IPO.

Incentive Awards

As part of the Company’s annual compensation process, the Company issues certain employees and directors equity-based

compensation awards (“Incentive Awards”). Additionally, the Company offers Incentive Awards to certain new hires.

19

These Incentive Awards typically take the form of (i) RSUs, (ii) RLUs, (iii) Class C Incentive Units, (iv) Stock Options,

(v) Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”), and (vi) Performance LLC Units (“PLUs”). The terms of these awards are

described below.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Common Units

As part of the Organizational Transactions, certain existing employee unitholders were granted Restricted Stock or

Restricted Common Units in exchange for their LLC Units. The Restricted Stock and Restricted Common Units follow the

Class C Incentive Units

Reload and Staking Class C Incentive Units

As part of the Organizational Transactions and IPO, certain employees were granted Reload Class C Incentive Units or

Staking Class C Incentive Units, which are profits interests. When the value of Class A common stock exceeds the

participation threshold, vested profits interests may be exchanged for LLC Common Units of equal value. On exchange,

the LLC Common Units are immediately redeemed on a one-for-one basis for Class A common stock. The Reload Class C

Incentive Units either vested 100% 3 years from the grant date or vest over 5 years from the grant date, with one-third of

the grant vesting in each of years 3, 4 and 5. The Staking Class C Incentive Units vest either pro rata over 5 years from the

grant date or over 10 years from the grant date, with 10% vesting in each of years 3 through 9 and 30% vesting in year 10.

Class C Incentive Units

Class C Incentive Units are profits interests. When the value of Class A common stock exceeds the participation threshold,

vested profits interests may be exchanged for LLC Common Units of equal value. On exchange, the LLC Common Units

are immediately redeemed on a one-for-one basis for Class A common stock. The Class C Incentive Units vest over 8 years

from the grant date, with 15% vesting in each of years 3 through 7 and 25% vesting in year 8, or over 7 years from the

grant date, with 20% vesting in each of years 3 through 7.

As the Reload and Staking Class C Incentive Units were one-time grants at the IPO, the weighted average participation

threshold for these awards will be consistent across any type of movement. The weighted average participation threshold

for Reload and Staking Class C Incentive Units was $23.19 and $23.34 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,

respectively. The decrease in the participation thresholds for the various types of Class C Incentive Units was due to the

distributions declared with respect to these awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Performance Based Awards

Performance Stock Units (PSUs) and Performance LLC Units (PLUs)

Performance-based equity awards, PSUs and PLUs, are subject to the achievement of several defined performance and

market metrics. All performance awards are subject to a total shareholder return (“TSR”) compound annual growth rate

(“CAGR”) target and one or more of the following metrics: (i) an Adjusted EBITDAC margin target, (ii) an Organic

22

revenue CAGR target, or (iii) an individual revenue target. The TSR CAGR is calculated from the base price, as outlined in

the respective grant agreements, to the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Class A common stock for the period

specified by the grant agreement plus dividends paid to Class A common shareholders. A minimum threshold for the TSR

CAGR, as well as the targets for the other metrics, as applicable, must all be met in order for the awards to vest.

In general, the PSUs and PLUs vest 5 years from the grant date. PSUs represent the right to receive Class A common

shares and PLUs represent the right to receive LLC Common Units upon vesting. If the minimum threshold of the TSR

CAGR is achieved, and the other required targets are achieved, the TSR CAGR target and, if applicable, the individual

revenue target, will determine how many Class A common shares or LLC Common Units, as applicable, the awards vest

into. Assuming the minimum thresholds are met, the awards will vest into between 75% and 150% of the applicable target

stock or units, which will be calculated on a graduated basis. Confirmation of the targets will not occur until after earnings

are reported for the final fiscal year in the award’s performance period. The probability of achieving the performance

metrics is assessed each reporting period for expense purposes. As of September 30, 2025, it was determined that the

Adjusted EBITDAC margin target for the executive PSUs and PLUs granted in fiscal year 2024 was no longer probable of

being achieved. As a result, the expense previously recognized for these awards was reversed during the three months

ended September 30, 2025.

Forfeited	(31,361)	25.09	—	—
Unvested at end of period	1,702,964	$27.62	487,218	$24.40

The fair values of the performance-based awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were

determined using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions:

Volatility	23.6% - 25.4%
Time to maturity (years)	4.7 - 4.8
Risk-free rate	3.8% - 4.0%
RYAN stock price at valuation date	$67.66 - $69.47

The use of a valuation model for the PSUs requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected

model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the observed volatility for comparable companies. The time to

maturity was based on the stock price CAGR target through the end of the performance period. The risk-free interest rate

was based on U.S. Treasury rates commensurate with the performance period.

Non-Employee Director Stock Grants

The Company grants RSUs to non-employee directors serving as members of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Director

Stock Grants”), with the exception of the one director who has agreed to forgo any compensation for their service to the

Board. The Director Stock Grants are fully vested upon grant. The Company granted 23,230 Director Stock Grants with a

weighted-average grant date fair value of $69.94 and 22,935 Director Stock Grants with a weighted-average grant date fair

value of $49.07 during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions

A majority of the Company’s unvested equity-based compensation awards, with the exception of Options and Class C

Incentive Units, are entitled to accrue dividend equivalents if the award vests into Class A common stock (“Dividend

Equivalents”) or declared distributions if the award vests into LLC Common Units (“Declared Distributions”) over the

period the underlying award vests. The Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions will be paid in cash to award

holders at the time the underlying award vests. If an award holder forfeits their underlying award, the accrued Dividend

Equivalents or Declared Distributions will also be forfeit. Class C Incentive Units do not accrue cash distributions but

instead have their participation thresholds lowered by each Declared Distribution. Options do not participate in dividends.

23

As of September 30, 2025, the Company accrued $1.0 million and $0.1 million related to Dividend Equivalents and

Declared Distributions, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $4.0 million and $0.6 million related

to Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions, respectively, in Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated

Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2024, the Company accrued $0.9 million and $0.1 million related to Dividend

Equivalents and Declared Distributions, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $2.9 million and $0.4

million related to Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions, respectively, in Other non-current liabilities on the

Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Equity-Based Compensation Expense

9.     Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. by the weighted-

average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed

giving effect to potentially dilutive shares, including LLC equity awards and the non-controlling interests’ LLC Common

Units that are exchangeable into Class A common stock. As shares of Class B common stock do not share in earnings and

are not participating securities, they are not included in the Company’s calculation. A reconciliation of the numerator and

denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is as follows:

10.     Derivatives

Deal-Contingent Foreign Currency Forward

In December 2023, the Company entered into the deal-contingent foreign currency forward (the “Deal-Contingent

Forward”) to manage the risk of appreciation of the GBP-denominated purchase price of the acquisition of Castel. The

Deal-Contingent Forward had a 200.0 million GBP notional amount and was executed when the Castel acquisition closed

on May 1, 2024. As the Deal-Contingent Forward was an economic hedge and had not been designated as an accounting

hedge, losses resulting from the Deal-Contingent Forward were recognized through earnings in the periods incurred.

Interest Rate Cap

In April 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations

related to the Company’s Term Loan in the amount of $25.5 million. The interest rate cap has a $1,000.0 million notional

amount, 2.75% strike, and terminates on December 31, 2025. At inception, the Company formally designated the interest

rate cap as a cash flow hedge. As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate cap continued to be an effective hedge.

Decreases in the fair value of the interest rate cap of $3.9 million and $16.4 million for the three months ended

September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $10.8 million and $16.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,

2025 and 2024, respectively, were recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”). As of September 30, 2025,

the Company expects $3.1 million of unrealized gains from the interest rate cap to be reclassified into earnings over the

next three months through the instrument’s expiration date. See Note 15, Income Taxes, for further information on the tax

effects on other comprehensive income related to the interest rate cap.

The location and gains (losses) on derivatives are reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income as follows:

See Note 12, Fair Value Measurements, for further information on the fair value of derivatives.

11.     Variable Interest Entities

As discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, the Company consolidates the LLC as a VIE under ASC 810. The

Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows effectively represent those of the LLC as of and for

the nine months ended September 30, 2025, with the exception of Cash and cash equivalents of $39.0 million, Other

current assets of $14.2 million, Deferred tax assets of $317.6 million, Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $1.0

million, Other non-current liabilities of $4.0 million, and the entire balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities of

$473.2 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which are attributable solely to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. As of

December 31, 2024, Cash and cash equivalents of $27.2 million, Other current assets of $15.4 million, Deferred tax assets

27

of $448.1 million, Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $0.9 million, Other non-current liabilities of $2.9 million,

and the entire balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities of $436.3 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet

were attributable solely to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc.

12.     Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as

follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, that are observable either directly or

indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the use of valuation techniques and

the development of assumptions.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the

lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.

The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for commissions and

fees receivable – net, other current assets, accounts payable, short-term debt, and other accrued liabilities as of

September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, approximate fair value because of the short-term duration of these

instruments. The fair value of long-term debt, including the Term Loan, Senior Secured Notes, the units subject to

mandatory redemption, and any current portion of such debt, was $3,297.1 million and $3,275.1 million as of

September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the Term Loan and Senior Secured Notes

would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and the units subject to mandatory redemption would be classified

as Level 3. See Note 6, Debt, for the carrying values of the Company’s debt.

Derivative Instruments

Deal-Contingent Foreign Currency Forward

The Company entered into the Deal-Contingent Forward to manage the risk of appreciation of the GBP-denominated

purchase price of the Castel acquisition. The fair value of the Deal-Contingent Forward was determined by comparing the

contractual foreign exchange rates to forward market rates for various future dates, probability weighted for when the

acquisition was anticipated to close, and discounted to the valuation date. The lowest level of inputs used that were

significant in determining the fair value were considered Level 3 inputs. See Note 10, Derivatives, for further information

on the Deal-Contingent Forward.

Interest Rate Cap

The Company uses an interest rate cap to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations related to the Company’s Term

Loan. The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future

expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the cap. The variable interest

rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived

from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the interest rate

cap are considered Level 2 inputs. See Note 10, Derivatives, for further information on the interest rate cap.

Contingent Consideration

The fair values of contingent consideration and contingently returnable consideration are based on the present value of the

future expected payments to be made to the sellers and to be received from the sellers, respectively, of certain acquired

businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements, which are Level 3 fair value

measurements. In determining fair value, the Company estimates cash payments and receipts based on management’s

financial projections of the performance of each acquired business relative to the formula specified by each purchase

agreement. The Company utilizes Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate financial projections of each acquired business. The

Monte Carlo models consider forecasted revenue and EBITDA and market risk-adjusted revenue and EBITDA, which are

run through a series of simulations. As of September 30, 2025, the models used risk-free rates, expected volatility, and a

credit spread that ranged from 1.9% to 4.4%, 6.8% to 26.1%, and 0.9% to 3.1%, respectively. As of December 31, 2024,

the models used risk-free rates, expected volatility, and a credit spread that ranged from 3.5% to 5.4%, 6.8% to 18.7%, and

0.7% to 2.6%, respectively. The Company discounts the expected payments created by the Monte Carlo model to present

value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of the

28

acquired entity to achieve its targets. The discount rate ranges used to present value the cash payments were 4.2% to 7.2%

and 5.0% to 6.6% as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Each period, the Company revalues the contingent consideration and contingently returnable consideration associated with

certain prior acquisitions to their fair value and records the related changes of the fair value in Change in contingent

consideration on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in contingent consideration result from changes in the

assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related EBITDA and revenue milestones, the estimated

timing in which milestones are achieved, and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. Contingent

consideration may change significantly as the Company’s revenue growth rate and EBITDA estimates evolve and

additional data is obtained, impacting the Company’s assumptions. The use of different assumptions and judgments could

result in a materially different estimate of fair value which may have a material impact on the results from operations and

financial position. See Note 3, Mergers and Acquisitions, for further information on contingent consideration.

13.     Commitments and Contingencies

Legal – E&O and Other Considerations

As an E&S and Admitted markets intermediary, the Company faces ordinary course of business E&O exposure. The

Company also has potential E&O risk if an insurance carrier with which Ryan Specialty placed coverage denies coverage

for a claim or pays less than the insured believes is the full amount owed. The Company seeks to resolve, through

commercial accommodations, certain matters to limit the economic exposure, including potential legal fees, and

reputational risk created by a disagreement between a carrier and the insured, as well as other E&O matters.

The Company utilizes insurance to provide protection from E&O liabilities that may arise during the ordinary course of

business. Ryan Specialty’s E&O insurance provides aggregate coverage for E&O losses up to $150.0 million in excess of a

per claim retention amount of $5.0 million. The Company periodically determines a range of possible outcomes using the

best available information that relies, in part, on projecting historical claim data into the future. Loss contingencies of $5.2

million and $4.9 million were recorded for outstanding matters as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,

respectively. Loss contingencies exclude the impact of any loss recoveries. The Company recognized the net impact of the

loss contingencies and any loss recoveries of $0.7 million of expense and a $0.9 million benefit for the three months ended

September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $4.3 million and $0.8 million of expense for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in General and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of

Income. The historical claim and commercial accommodation data used to project the current estimates may not be

indicative of future claim activity. Thus, the estimates could change in the future as more information becomes known,

which could materially impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

During 2022, the Company placed certain insurance policies through a trading partner with the understanding that the

policies were underwritten by highly rated insurance capital. The policies were instead underwritten by an insurance carrier

that was not considered satisfactory by the Company or the insureds. The Company committed to securing replacement

30

coverage, to the extent commercially available, from highly rated insurance companies on terms substantially similar to the

insurance coverage originally agreed upon. As a result of this unusual circumstance, the Company has incurred, and may

incur additional, losses arising from the original placements and unpaid covered claims (collectively, the “Replacement

Costs”). The Company has determined that it is probable that it will be exposed to further Replacement Costs on policies

placed with this trading partner.

The Company recognized an estimated loss contingency related to the Replacement Costs of $0.2 million and $0.3 million

as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the

Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company collected $21.1 million

from its E&O insurance carriers related to the claim for the Replacement Costs. The Company has also obtained sufficient

evidence that additional recoveries under the claim are probable. A loss recovery of $1.0 million and $20.2 million was

recorded as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, in Other current assets on the Consolidated

Balance Sheets. In the aggregate, the loss contingency and related loss recovery resulted in a $2.5 million expense

recognized in 2022 and no further expense related to this matter has been recognized since.

It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of Replacement Costs will change in the near term due to additional

unpaid covered claims or other damages for losses incurred by our customers. An estimate of these potential losses cannot

be made at this time but could change in the future as more information becomes known.

14.     Related Parties

Ryan Investment Holdings

Ryan Investment Holdings, LLC (“RIH”) was formed as an investment holding company designed to aggregate the funds

of Ryan Specialty and Geneva Ryan Holdings, LLC (“GRH”) for investment in Geneva Re Partners, LLC (“GRP”). GRH

was formed as an investment holding company designed to aggregate investment funds of Patrick G. Ryan and other

affiliated investors. Two affiliated investors are LLC Unitholders and directors of the Company, and another is an LLC

Unitholder and employee of the Company. Ryan Specialty does not consolidate GRH as the Company does not have a

direct investment in or variable interest in this entity.

The Company holds a 47% interest in RIH and GRH holds the remaining 53% interest. RIH has a 50% non-controlling

interest in GRP and the other 50% is owned by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company. GRP wholly owns Geneva Re, Ltd

(“Geneva Re”), a Bermuda-regulated reinsurance company, and GR Bermuda SAC Ltd (the “Segregated Account

Company”). The Segregated Account Company has one segregated account, which is beneficially owned by a third-party

insurance company (the “Third-party Insurer”). RIH is considered a related party variable interest entity under common

control with the Company. The Company is not most closely associated with the variable interest entity and therefore does

not consolidate RIH. The assets of RIH are restricted to settling obligations of RIH, pursuant to Delaware limited liability

company statutes.

The Company is not required to contribute any additional capital to RIH, and its maximum exposure to loss on the equity

method investment is the total invested capital of $47.0 million. The Company may be exposed to losses arising from the

equity method investment as a result of underwriting losses recognized at Geneva Re or losses on Geneva Re’s investment

portfolio. RIH has committed to contribute additional capital to GRP over the next several years. Patrick G. Ryan, through

a trust of which he is the beneficiary and co-trustee, has committed to personally fund any such additional capital

contributions. Any such additional capital contributions under this commitment will not affect the relative ownership of

RIH’s common equity.

Geneva Re

The Company has a service agreement with Geneva Re to provide both administrative services to, as well as disburse

payments for costs directly incurred by, Geneva Re. These direct costs include compensation expenses incurred by

employees of Geneva Re. The Company had $0.1 million and $0.3 million due from Geneva Re under this agreement as of

September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Ryan Re Services Agreements with Geneva Re

Ryan Re, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is party to a services agreement with Geneva Re to provide, among

other services, certain underwriting and administrative services to Geneva Re. Ryan Re receives a service fee equal to

115% of the administrative costs incurred by Ryan Re in providing these services to Geneva Re. Revenue earned from

Geneva Re was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and

$1.2 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Receivables due from

31

Geneva Re under this agreement were $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024,

respectively.

Ryan Re is party to a services agreement with Geneva Re under which Ryan Re subcontracts certain services to Geneva Re

that are required for the segregated account of the Segregated Account Company on behalf of the Third-party Insurer. The

Company incurred expense of $2.8 million and $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024,

respectively, and $8.2 million and $7.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had prepaid expenses of $8.3 million and $5.2 million,

respectively, related to this services agreement. The prepaid expenses are included in Other currents assets on the

Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Company Leasing of Corporate Jets

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company charters executive jets for business purposes from Executive Jet

Management (“EJM”), a third-party service provider. Mr. Ryan indirectly owns aircraft that he leases to EJM for EJM’s

charter operations for which he receives remuneration from EJM. The Company pays market rates for chartering aircraft

through EJM, unless the particular aircraft chartered is Mr. Ryan’s, in which case the Company receives a discount below

market rates. Historically, the Company has been able to charter Mr. Ryan’s aircraft and make use of this discount. The

Company recognized expense related to business usage of aircraft of $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months

ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $0.5 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

15.     Income Taxes

The Company is taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes and is subject to federal, state, and local taxes with respect

to its allocable share of any net taxable income from the LLC. The LLC is a limited liability company taxed as a

partnership for income tax purposes, and its taxable income or loss is passed through to its members, including the

Company. The LLC is subject to income taxes on its taxable income in certain foreign countries, in certain state and local

jurisdictions that impose income taxes on partnerships, and on the taxable income of its U.S. corporate subsidiaries.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was (4.70)% and (45.50)% for the three months ended

September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and 26.40% and 7.90% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and

2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was lower than the 21% statutory

rate primarily as result of the vesting of RSUs, exercising of Stock Options, and the income attributable to the non-

controlling interests. The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was higher than the 21%

statutory rate primarily as a result of the non-cash deferred income tax expense from the CCR related to the acquisition of

Velocity, which is described below, offset by a decrease related to the vesting of RSUs, exercising of Stock Options, and

the income attributable to the non-controlling interests. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2024, were lower than the 21% statutory rate primarily as a result of the vesting of RSUs, exercising of

Stock Options, and the income attributable to the non-controlling interests.

The Company does not believe it has any significant uncertain tax positions and therefore has no unrecognized tax benefits

as of September 30, 2025, that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate

material changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve-month period.

Deferred Taxes

The Company reported Deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities where appropriate, of $318.1 million and $448.3

million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease

in the Deferred tax assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was primarily the result of the CCR. As of

September 30, 2025, the Company concluded that, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, the

deferred tax assets with respect to the Company’s basis difference in its investment in the LLC are more likely than not to

be realized. As such, no valuation allowance has been recognized against that basis difference.

Common Control Reorganization (CCR)

Subsequent to the acquisition of Velocity, which was acquired by a wholly owned subsidiary of Ryan Specialty Holdings,

Inc., the Company converted Velocity into an LLC (“Velocity LLC”) and transferred Velocity LLC to the LLC. This legal

entity reorganization was considered a transaction between entities under common control. The CCR, inclusive of impacts

from the Velocity measurement period adjustment, resulted in a reduction of deferred tax assets in the Company’s basis

32

difference in its investment in the LLC of $145.1 million and a non-cash deferred income tax expense of $48.0 million for

the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of

the investment transferred under common control resulted in an increase of $29.8 million to Non-controlling interests on

the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA)

The Company is party to a TRA with current and certain former LLC Unitholders. The TRA provides for the payment by

the Company to the current and certain former LLC Unitholders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal,

state, and local income taxes that the Company actually realizes (or under certain circumstances is deemed to realize) from

(i) certain increases in the tax basis of the assets of the LLC resulting from purchases or exchanges of LLC Common Units

(“Exchange Tax Attributes”), (ii) certain tax attributes of the LLC that existed prior to the IPO (“Pre-IPO M&A Tax

Attributes”), (iii) certain favorable “remedial” partnership tax allocations to which the Company becomes entitled (if any),

and (iv) certain other tax benefits related to the Company entering into the TRA, including certain tax benefits attributable

to payments that the Company makes under the TRA (“TRA Payment Tax Attributes”). The Company recognizes a

liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the undiscounted estimated future payments under the TRA. The

amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing

of the taxable income of the Company in the future.

Based on current projections, the Company anticipates having sufficient taxable income to be able to realize the benefits

and has recorded Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities of $473.2 million related to these benefits on the Consolidated

Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025. The following summarizes activity related to the Tax Receivable Agreement

liabilities:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, increases to the TRA liabilities of $36.1 million and $95.6

million, respectively, due to exchanges of LLC Common Units for Class A common stock were recognized in Additional

paid-in capital on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025

and 2024, increases to the TRA liabilities of $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, due to accrued interest were

recognized in Other non-operating loss (income) on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

17.     Segment Reporting

Segment Information

Ryan Specialty is organized as a single operating and reporting segment. The Company’s chief operating decision maker

(“CODM”) is its Chief Executive Officer. The Company has identified its single operating segment utilizing a management

approach that aligns with the manner in which the CODM utilizes the Company’s consolidated financial information for

resource allocation and performance evaluation. Refer to Note 1, Basis of Presentation, for a description of the Company’s

products and services and to Note 2, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, for the disaggregation of revenue by

Specialty.

35

The CODM utilizes consolidated net income as the primary metric to monitor budget versus actual results, assess the

performance of the business, and make decisions regarding resource allocation. The following table provides information

about the Company’s revenue and includes a reconciliation to net income:

Overview

Founded by Patrick G. Ryan in 2010, we are a service provider of specialty products and solutions for insurance brokers,

agents, and carriers. We provide distribution, underwriting, product development, administration, and risk management

services by acting predominantly as a wholesale broker and a managing underwriter or a program administrator with

delegated authority from insurance carriers. Our mission is to provide industry-leading innovative specialty insurance

solutions for insurance brokers, agents, and carriers.

For retail insurance agents and brokers, we assist in the placement of complex or otherwise hard-to-place risks. For

insurance and reinsurance carriers, we predominantly work with retail and wholesale insurance brokers to source, onboard,

underwrite, and service these same types of risks. A significant majority of the premiums we place are bound in the E&S

market, which includes Lloyd’s of London. There is often significantly more flexibility in terms, conditions, and rates in

the E&S market relative to the Admitted or “standard” insurance market. We believe that the additional freedom to craft

bespoke terms and conditions in the E&S market allows us to best meet the needs of our trading partners, provide unique

solutions, and drive innovation. We believe our success has been achieved by providing best-in-class intellectual capital,

leveraging our trusted and long-standing relationships, and developing differentiated solutions at a scale unmatched by

many of our competitors.

Significant Events and Transactions

Corporate Structure

We are a holding company and our sole material asset is a controlling equity interest in New LLC, which is also a holding

company and its sole material asset is a controlling equity interest in the LLC. The Company operates and controls the

business and affairs of, and consolidates the financial results of, the LLC through New LLC. We conduct our business

through the LLC. As the LLC is substantively the same as New LLC, for the purpose of this discussion we will refer to

both New LLC and the LLC as the “LLC.”

The LLC is a limited liability company taxed as a partnership for income tax purposes, and its taxable income or loss is

passed through to its members, including the Company. The LLC is subject to income taxes on its taxable income in certain

foreign countries, in certain state and local jurisdictions that impose income taxes on partnerships, and on the taxable

income of its U.S. corporate subsidiaries. As a result of our ownership of LLC Common Units, we are subject to U.S.

federal, state, and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income of the LLC and are taxed at

the prevailing corporate tax rates. We intend to cause the LLC to make distributions in an amount that is at least sufficient

to allow us to pay our tax obligations and operating expenses, including distributions to fund any ordinary course payments

due under the Tax Receivable Agreement. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Tax Receivable Agreement” for

additional information about the TRA.

Acquisitions

On February 3, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Velocity Risk Underwriters, LLC (“Velocity”), an MGU

specializing in first-party insurance coverage for catastrophe exposed properties, based in Nashville, Tennessee.

On May 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of USQRisk Holdings, LLC (“USQ”), a company that

underwrites, structures, prices, and places specialty insurance for corporate clients seeking bespoke, multi-year risk

solutions based in New York and London.

On May 16, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of 360° Underwriting (“360”), an MGU specializing in

commercial construction, based in Dublin and Galway, Ireland.

On July 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets of J.M. Wilson Corporation (“JM Wilson”), a

binding authority and surplus lines broker specializing in transportation insurance, headquartered in Portage, Michigan.

On October 27, 2025, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Stewart Specialty Risk Underwriting

Ltd., an MGU specializing in underwriting large-account, high-hazard property and casualty solutions, based in Toronto,

Canada. This acquisition is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Key Factors Affecting Our Performance

Our historical financial performance has been, and we expect our financial performance in the future to be, driven by our

ability to:

Pursue Strategic Acquisitions

We have successfully integrated businesses complementary to our own to increase both our distribution reach and our

product and service capabilities. We continuously evaluate acquisitions and intend to further pursue targeted acquisitions

that complement our product and service capabilities or provide us access to new markets. We have previously made, and

intend to continue to make, acquisitions with the objective of enhancing our human capital and product and service

capabilities, entering natural adjacencies, and expanding our geographic presence. Our ability to successfully pursue

strategic acquisitions is dependent upon a number of factors, including sustained execution of a disciplined and selective

acquisition strategy which requires acquisition targets to have a cultural and strategic fit, competition for these assets,

purchase price multiples that we deem appropriate and our ability to effectively integrate targeted companies or assets and

grow our business. We do not have agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions at this time.

Deepen and Broaden our Relationships with Retail Broker Trading Partners

We have deep engagement with our retail broker trading partners, and we believe we have the ability to transact in even

greater volume with nearly all of them. For example, in 2024, our revenue derived from the Top 100 firms (as ranked by

Business Insurance) expanded faster than our Organic revenue growth rate of 12.8%. Our ability to deepen and broaden

relationships with our retail broker trading partners and increase sales is dependent upon a number of factors, including

client satisfaction with our distribution reach and our product capabilities, retail brokers continuing to require or desire our

services, competition, pricing, economic conditions, and spending on our product offerings.

Build Our Delegated Authority Business

We believe there is substantial opportunity to continue to grow our Delegated Authority business, which includes both our

Binding Authority Specialty and Underwriting Management Specialty. We believe that both M&A consolidation and panel

consolidation are in nascent stages for Binding Authority. We believe that both M&A consolidation and the use and

reliance on scaled delegated Underwriting Management will continue to grow. Our ability to grow this business is

dependent upon a number of factors, including a continuing ability to secure sufficient capital support from insurers, the

quality of our services and product offerings, marketing and sales efforts to drive new business prospects and execution,

new product offerings, the pricing and quality of our competitors’ offerings, and the growth in demand for the insurance

products.

Invest in Operations and Growth

We have invested heavily in building a durable business that is able to adapt to the continuously evolving specialty and

E&S markets and intend to continue to do so. We are focused on enhancing the breadth of our product and service

offerings as well as developing and launching new solutions to address the evolving needs of the specialty insurance

industry and markets. Our future success is dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to successfully

develop, market, and sell existing and new products and services to both new and existing trading partners. We will

39

continue to prioritize strategic investments that support revenue growth such as investments in talent, de novo formations,

product innovation and solutions, M&A, and technology in order to maximize long-term value creation, which could have

a short-term margin impact.

Generate Commission Regardless of the State of the Specialty and E&S Markets

We earn commissions, which are calculated as a percentage of the total insurance policy premium, and fees. Changes in the

insurance market or specialty lines that are our focus, characterized by a period of increasing (or declining) premium rates,

could positively (or negatively) impact our profitability.

Managing Changing Macroeconomic Conditions

Growth in certain lines of business, such as project-based construction and M&A transactional liability insurance, is

partially dependent on a variety of macroeconomic factors inasmuch as binding the underlying insurance coverage is

subject to the underlying activity occurring. In periods of economic growth and liquid credit markets, this underlying

activity can accelerate and provide tailwinds to our growth. In periods of economic decline and tight credit markets, this

underlying activity can slow or be delayed and provide headwinds to our growth. We believe over the long term these lines

of business will continue to grow.

Leverage the Growth of the Specialty and E&S Markets

The growing relevance of the specialty and E&S markets have been driven by the rapid emergence and sustained

prevalence of large, complex, high-hazard, and otherwise hard-to-place risks across many lines of insurance. This trend

continued in 2024, with $110 billion of insured catastrophe losses, driven by over $50 billion of insured losses related to

severe convective storms (“SCS”) with 17 SCS events that caused losses in excess of $1 billion, which together accounted

for the second-highest annual total for insured losses on record for SCS events. The year also included ice storms across the

country and continued wildfire-related losses. In addition to the SCS events, Hurricanes Helene and Milton caused over

$35 billion in insured losses. Additionally, these risks include the potential for more severe hurricanes that occur with

greater frequency, more devastating wildfires, more frequent flooding, escalating jury verdicts and social inflation,

geographic shifts in population density, a proliferation of cyber threats, novel health risks, risks associated with large sports

and entertainment venues, building and labor cost inflation relative to insured value, and the transformation of the economy

to a “digital first” mode of doing business. We believe that as the complexity of the specialty and E&S markets continues

to escalate, wholesale brokers and managing underwriters that do not have sufficient scale, or the financial and intellectual

capital to invest in the required specialty capabilities, will struggle to compete effectively. This will further the trend of

market share consolidation among the wholesale firms that do have these capabilities. We will continue to invest in our

intellectual capital to innovate and offer custom solutions and products to better address these evolving market

fundamentals.

Although we believe this growth will continue, we recognize that the growth of the specialty and E&S markets might not

be linear as risks can and do shift between the E&S, including the specialty market, and non-E&S markets as market

factors change and evolve. For example, we benefited from a rapid increase in both the flow of property risks into the

wholesale channel and the premium rate charged for those risks in 2023 and the first half of 2024 as the frequency and

severity of catastrophe losses, attritional losses and secondary perils such as severe convective storms, economic inflation,

concentration of exposures, higher retentions of risk, and higher reinsurance costs applied pressure to insurers and capacity

tightened. In the second half of 2024 and through the first nine months of 2025, the specialty and E&S markets experienced

a shift in these trends as insurance capacity for these property risks increased, which resulted in a decline in property

premium rates. We believe these factors have created opportunities for retailers to place property coverage directly in the

specialty and E&S markets, and we believe the market dynamics exist for these factors to potentially continue through the

end of 2025.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

Net Commissions and Fees

Net commissions and fees are derived primarily from our three Specialties and are paid for our role as an intermediary in

facilitating the placement of coverage in the insurance distribution chain. Net commissions and policy fees are generally

calculated as a percentage of the total insurance policy premium placed, although fees can often be a fixed amount

irrespective of the premium, and we also receive supplemental commissions based on the volume placed or profitability of

a book of business. We share a portion of these net commissions and policy fees with the retail insurance broker and

recognize revenue on a net basis. Additionally, carriers may also pay us a contingent commission or volume-based

40

commission, both of which represent forms of contingent or supplemental consideration associated with the placement of

coverage and are based primarily on underwriting results, but may also contain considerations for only volume, growth,

and/or retention. Although we have compensation arrangements called contingent commissions in all three Specialties that

are based in whole or in part on the underwriting performance, we do not take any direct insurance risk other than through

our equity method investments in Geneva Re through Ryan Investment Holdings, LLC and Velocity Specialty Insurance

Company (“VSIC”). We also receive loss mitigation and other fees, some of which are not dependent on the placement of a

risk.

In our Wholesale Brokerage and Binding Authority Specialties, we generally work with retail insurance brokers to secure

insurance coverage for their clients, who are the ultimate insured party. Our Wholesale Brokerage and Binding Authority

Specialties generate revenues through commissions and fees from clients, as well as through supplemental commissions,

which may be contingent commissions or volume-based commissions from carriers. Commission rates and fees vary

depending upon several factors, which may include the amount of premium, the type of insurance coverage provided, the

particular services provided to a client or carrier, and the capacity in which we act. Payment terms are consistent with

current industry practice.

In our Underwriting Management Specialty, we utilize delegated authority granted to us by carriers and we generally work

with retail insurance brokers and often other wholesale brokers to secure insurance coverage for the ultimate insured party.

Our Underwriting Management Specialty generates revenues through commissions and fees from clients and through

contingent commissions from carriers. Commission rates and fees vary depending upon several factors including the

premium, the type of coverage, and additional services provided to the client. Payment terms are consistent with current

industry practice.

Fiduciary Investment Income

Fiduciary investment income consists of interest earned on insurance premiums and surplus lines taxes that are held in a

fiduciary capacity, in cash and cash equivalents, until disbursed.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits is our largest expense. It consists of (i) salary, incentives and benefits to employees, and

commissions to our producers and (ii) equity-based compensation associated with the grants of awards to employees,

executive officers, and directors. We operate in competitive markets for human capital and we need to maintain

competitive compensation levels in order to maintain and grow our talent base.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense includes travel and entertainment expenses, office expenses, accounting, foreign

exchange, legal, insurance and other professional fees, and other costs associated with our operations. Our occupancy-

related costs and professional services expenses, in particular, generally increase or decrease in relative proportion to the

number of our employees and the overall size and scale of our business operations.

Amortization

Amortization expense consists primarily of amortization related to intangible assets we acquired in connection with our

acquisitions. Intangible assets consist of customer relationships, trade names, and internally developed software.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net consists of interest payable on indebtedness, amortization of the Company’s interest rate cap, imputed

interest on contingent consideration, and amortization of deferred debt issuance costs, offset by interest income on the

Company’s Cash and cash equivalents balances and payments received in relation to the interest rate cap.

Other Non-Operating Loss (Income)

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, Other non-operating loss (income) consisted of seller reimbursement of

acquisition-related retention incentives, sublease income, and forfeitures of vested equity awards offset by TRA contractual

interest and related charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Other non-operating loss (income) consisted

of expense related to term loan modifications and TRA contractual interest and related charges offset by sublease income.

41

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense (benefit) includes tax on the Company’s allocable share of any net taxable income from the LLC, from

certain state and local jurisdictions that impose taxes on partnerships, as well as earnings from our foreign subsidiaries and

C-Corporations subject to entity level taxation, and income tax expense (benefit) recognized as a result of the Common

Control Reorganization (“CCR”) subsequent to the Velocity acquisition in the first quarter of 2025.

Non-Controlling Interests

Net income and Other comprehensive income (loss) are attributed to the non-controlling interests based on the weighted-

average LLC Common Units outstanding during the period and is presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Refer to “Note 7, Stockholders’ Equity” of the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements for more information.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Revenue

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased by $149.9 million, or 24.8%, from $604.7 million to $754.6 million for the three months ended

September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The following were the principal drivers of the

increase:

•$85.7 million, or 14.2%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to organic revenue growth.

Organic revenue growth represents the change in Net commissions and fees revenue, as compared to the same

period for the year prior, adjusted for Net commissions and fees attributable to recent acquisitions during the

first twelve months of Ryan Specialty’s ownership, and other adjustments such as the removal of the impact of

contingent commissions and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. In aggregate, our net commission

rates were consistent period-over-period. Also, we grew our client relationships, in aggregate, within each of

our three Specialties. The growth of these relationships is due to the combination of a growing specialty and

E&S markets and winning new business from competitors. We experienced growth across the majority of our

casualty lines and moderate growth across our property portfolio. The growth in our property portfolio revenue

was driven by new business generation offset by a continued decline in rates and retailers realizing additional

opportunity to place coverage directly in the specialty and E&S markets. Growth in the quarter was balanced

across our three Specialties, driven by an increase in the flow of risks into the specialty and E&S markets;

•$55.3 million, or 9.1%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to acquisitions during their

first twelve months of ownership by the Company. Acquisition revenue was offset by a $0.4 million decline in

revenue period-over-period relating to the sale of a small non-subscription workers compensation book of

business at the end of 2024;

•$10.4 million, or 1.7%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to contingent commissions

and the impact of foreign exchange rates on the Company’s Net commissions and fees; and

•A decline of $1.5 million, or 0.2%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to a decrease in

Fiduciary investment income, caused by a decline in interest rates compared to the prior year period.

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except percentages)	2025	2024	Change
Wholesale Brokerage	376,788	346,666	$30,122	8.7 %
Binding Authority	89,636	76,497	13,139	17.2
Underwriting Management	273,128	164,966	108,162	65.6
Total Net commissions and fees	739,552	588,129	$151,423	25.7 %

All values are in US Dollars.

Wholesale Brokerage net commissions and fees increased by $30.1 million, or 8.7%, period-over-period, primarily due to

organic growth within the Specialty for the quarter and contributions from the JM Wilson acquisition.

Binding Authority net commissions and fees increased by $13.1 million, or 17.2%, period-over-period, primarily due to

strong organic growth within the Specialty for the quarter as well as an increase in contingent commissions and

contributions from the JM Wilson acquisition.

Underwriting Management net commissions and fees increased by $108.2 million, or 65.6%, period-over-period, primarily

due to organic growth within the Specialty for the quarter, inclusive of an increase in revenue from transactional business,

contributions from the US Assure, Greenhill, Ethos P&C, EverSports, Geo, Innovisk, Velocity, 360, and USQ acquisitions,

and an increase in contingent commissions.

44

The following table sets forth our revenue by type of commission and fees:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except percentages)	2025	2024	Change
Net commissions and policy fees	672,942	555,282	$117,660	21.2 %
Supplemental and contingent<br><br>commissions	29,782	20,455	9,327	45.6
Loss mitigation and other fees	36,828	12,392	24,436	197.2
Total Net commissions and fees	739,552	588,129	$151,423	25.7 %

All values are in US Dollars.

Net commissions and policy fees grew 21.2%, in line with the overall net commissions and fee revenue growth of 25.7%,

for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The main drivers of this

growth continue to be the acquisition of new business and expansion of ongoing client relationships in response to the

increasing demand for new, complex specialty and E&S products as well as the inflow of risks from the Admitted market

into the specialty and E&S markets and an increase in the premium rate for risks placed, as well as contributions from

recent acquisitions. In aggregate, we experienced stable commission rates period-over-period.

Supplemental and contingent commissions increased 45.6% period-over-period driven by the performance of risks placed

on eligible business earning profit-based or volume-based commissions as well as contributions from recent acquisitions.

Loss mitigation and other fees increased 197.2% period-over-period primarily due to increased capital markets activity, an

increase in transactional business, captive management and other risk management service fees from the placement of

alternative risk insurance solutions as well as contributions from recent acquisitions.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense increased by $47.2 million, or 12.0%, from $393.2 million to $440.4 million for the

three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The following were the principal drivers of

this increase:

•$56.5 million of the increase was driven by (i) the addition of 1,065 employees compared to the same period

in the prior year, inclusive of acquired employees, and (ii) growth in the business. Overall headcount

increased to 5,982 full-time employees as of September 30, 2025, from 4,917 as of September 30, 2024;

•Commissions increased $17.2 million, or 10.4%, period-over-period, driven by the 8.7% increase in

Wholesale Brokerage and 17.2% increase in Binding Authority Net commissions and fees;

•The increases were partially offset by a $12.3 million decrease in Equity-based compensation and Initial

public offering related expense associated with the reversal of certain executive performance-based awards’

expense in the quarter as well as the natural runoff of Initial public offering related expense as awards

continue to vest;

•A $8.5 million decrease from Acquisition-related expense and Acquisition related long-term incentive

compensation related to recently completed acquisitions; and

•A $5.7 million decline in Restructuring and related expense due to the completion of the ACCELERATE

2025 program at the end of 2024.

The net impact of revenue growth and the factors above resulted in a Compensation and benefits expense ratio decrease of

6.6% from 65.0% to 58.4% period-over-period.

In general, we expect to continue experiencing a rise in commissions, salaries, incentives, and benefits expense

commensurate with our expected growth in business volume, revenue, and headcount.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased by $28.9 million, or 32.6%, from $88.7 million to $117.6 million for the

three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The following were the

principal drivers of this increase:

•$23.0 million of increased professional services and IT charges associated with ongoing technology and data

initiatives as well as costs directly linked to revenue growth in the period and recruiter fees; and

•$11.0 million was driven by growth in the business. Such expenses incurred to accommodate both organic and

inorganic revenue growth include travel and entertainment, occupancy, insurance, and foreign exchange.

•The increase was partially offset by a $5.1 million decline in Restructuring and related expense due to the

completion of the ACCELERATE 2025 program at the end of 2024.

The net impact of revenue growth and the factors listed above resulted in a General and administrative expense ratio

increase of 0.9% from 14.7% to 15.6% period-over-period.

Amortization

Amortization expense increased by $31.0 million from $39.2 million to $70.2 million for the three months ended

September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The main driver of the increase was the amortization of

intangible assets from recent acquisitions. Our intangible assets increased by $267.2 million period-over-period.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased $7.0 million, or 14.1%, from $49.4 million to $56.3 million for the three months ended

September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The main driver of the increase in Interest expense, net

for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was an increase in debt from recent acquisition activity.

Other Non-Operating Loss (Income)

Other non-operating loss (income) decreased by $17.0 million to income of $0.4 million for the three months ended

September 30, 2025, as compared to a loss of $16.6 million in the same period in the prior year. For the three months ended

September 30, 2025, Other non-operating loss (income) consisted of $0.3 million of forfeitures of vested equity awards,

$0.2 million of seller reimbursement of acquisition-related retention incentives, and $0.2 million of sublease income offset

by $0.4 million of TRA contractual interest and related charges. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Other

non-operating loss (income) consisted of $16.2 million of term loan modification expense and $0.5 million of TRA

contractual interest and related charges offset by $0.1 million of sublease income.

Income Before Income Taxes

Income before income taxes increased $40.1 million from $19.7 million to $59.8 million for the three months ended

September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the factors described above.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense (benefit) decreased $6.2 million from a benefit of $9.0 million to a benefit of $2.8 million for the three

months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of an increase in pre-

tax book income.

Net Income

Net income increased $34.0 million from $28.6 million to $62.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025,

compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the factors described above.

46

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Revenue

Total Revenue

Total revenue increased by $447.7 million, or 24.2%, from $1,852.2 million to $2,299.9 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The following were the principal drivers of the

increase:

•$211.0 million, or 11.4%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to acquisitions during

their first twelve months of ownership by the Company. Acquisition revenue was offset by a $1.2 million

decline in revenue period-over-period relating to the sale of a small non-subscription workers compensation

book of business at the end of 2024;

•$200.5 million, or 10.8%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to organic revenue

growth. Organic revenue growth represents the change in Net commissions and fees revenue, as compared to

the same period for the year prior, adjusted for Net commissions and fees attributable to recent acquisitions

during the first twelve months of Ryan Specialty’s ownership, and other adjustments such as the removal of the

impact of contingent commissions and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates. In aggregate, our net

commission rates were consistent period-over-period. Also, we grew our client relationships, in aggregate,

within each of our three Specialties. The growth of these relationships is due to the combination of a growing

specialty and E&S markets and winning new business from competitors. We experienced growth across the

majority of our casualty lines and moderate growth across our property portfolio. The growth in our property

portfolio revenue was driven by new business generation offset by a continued decline in rates and retailers

realizing additional opportunity to place coverage directly in the specialty and E&S markets. Growth in the

quarter was balanced across our three Specialties, driven by an increase in the flow of risks into the specialty

and E&S markets;

•$38.7 million, or 2.1%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to contingent commissions

and the impact of foreign exchange rates on the Company’s Net commissions and fees; and

•A decline of $2.5 million, or 0.1%, of the period-over-period change in Total revenue was due to a decrease in

Fiduciary investment income, caused by a decline in interest rates compared to the prior-year period.

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except percentages)	2025	2024	Change
Wholesale Brokerage	1,214,741	1,114,240	$100,501	9.0 %
Binding Authority	286,110	245,762	40,348	16.4
Underwriting Management	755,686	446,262	309,424	69.3
Total Net commissions and fees	2,256,537	1,806,264	$450,273	24.9 %

All values are in US Dollars.

Wholesale Brokerage net commissions and fees increased by $100.5 million, or 9.0%, period-over-period, primarily due to

organic growth within the Specialty for the period as well as an increase in contingent commissions and contributions from

the JM Wilson acquisition.

Binding Authority net commissions and fees increased by $40.3 million, or 16.4%, period-over-period, primarily due to

strong organic growth within the Specialty for the period as well as an increase in contingent commissions and

contributions from the JM Wilson acquisition.

Underwriting Management net commissions and fees increased by $309.4 million, or 69.3%, period-over-period, primarily

due to organic growth within the Specialty for the period, inclusive of an increase in transactional business, contributions

from the Castel, US Assure, Greenhill, Ethos P&C, EverSports, Geo, Innovisk, Velocity, 360, and USQ acquisitions, and

an increase in contingent commissions.

47

The following table sets forth our revenue by type of commission and fees:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(in thousands, except percentages)	2025	2024	Change
Net commissions and policy fees	2,083,983	1,706,781	$377,202	22.1 %
Supplemental and contingent<br><br>commissions	103,185	58,618	44,567	76.0
Loss mitigation and other fees	69,369	40,865	28,504	69.8
Total Net commissions and fees	2,256,537	1,806,264	$450,273	24.9 %

All values are in US Dollars.

Net commissions and policy fees grew 22.1%, in line with the overall net commissions and fee revenue growth of 24.9%,

for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The main drivers of this

growth continue to be the acquisition of new business and expansion of ongoing client relationships in response to the

increasing demand for new, complex specialty and E&S products as well as the inflow of risks from the Admitted market

into the specialty and E&S markets and an increase in the premium rate for risks placed, as well as contributions from

recent acquisitions. In aggregate, we experienced stable commission rates period-over-period.

Supplemental and contingent commissions increased 76.0% period-over-period driven by the performance of risks placed

on eligible business earning profit-based or volume-based commissions as well as contributions from recent acquisitions.

Loss mitigation and other fees increased 69.8% period-over-period primarily due to increased capital markets activity, an

increase in transactional business, captive management and other risk management service fees from the placement of

alternative risk insurance solutions as well as contributions from recent acquisitions.

Expenses

Compensation and Benefits

Compensation and benefits expense increased by $175.2 million, or 14.8%, from $1,180.8 million to $1,356.0 million for

the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024. The following were the principal drivers

of this increase:

•$152.4 million of the increase was driven by (i) the addition of 1,065 employees compared to the same period

in the prior year, inclusive of acquired employees, and (ii) growth in the business. Overall headcount

increased to 5,982 full-time employees as of September 30, 2025, from 4,917 as of September 30, 2024;

•Commissions increased $57.7 million, or 10.8%, period-over-period, driven by the 9.0% increase in

Wholesale Brokerage and 16.4% increase in Binding Authority Net commissions and fees; and

•An increase of $11.5 million was driven by Acquisition-related expense and Acquisition related long-term

incentive compensation related to recently completed acquisitions.

•The increases were partially offset by a $35.7 million decline in Restructuring and related expense due to the

completion of the ACCELERATE 2025 program at the end of 2024; and

•A $10.7 million decrease in Equity-based compensation and Initial public offering related expense associated

with the reversal of certain executive performance-based awards’ expense in the period as well as the natural

runoff of Initial public offering related expense as awards continue to vest.

The net impact of revenue growth and the factors above resulted in a Compensation and benefits expense ratio decrease of

4.8% from 63.8% to 59.0% period-over-period.

In general, we expect to continue experiencing a rise in commissions, salaries, incentives, and benefits expense

commensurate with our expected growth in business volume, revenue, and headcount.

48

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense increased by $83.2 million, or 33.6%, from $247.5 million to $330.7 million for the

nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The following were the principal

drivers of this increase:

•$56.7 million of increased professional services and IT charges associated with ongoing technology and data

initiatives as well as costs directly linked to revenue growth in the period and recruiter fees;

•$31.2 million was driven by growth in the business. Such expenses incurred to accommodate both organic and

inorganic revenue growth include travel and entertainment, occupancy, insurance, and foreign exchange; and

•$7.5 million was driven by an increase in Acquisition-related expense associated with one-time diligence,

transaction-related, and integration costs.

•The increase was partially offset by a $12.2 million decline in Restructuring and related expense due to the

completion of the ACCELERATE 2025 program at the end of 2024.

The net impact of revenue growth and the factors listed above resulted in a General and administrative expense ratio

increase of 1.0% from 13.4% to 14.4% period-over-period.

Amortization

Amortization expense increased by $107.1 million from $97.7 million to $204.8 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The main driver of the increase was the amortization of

intangible assets from recent acquisitions. Our intangible assets increased by $267.2 million period-over-period.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense, net increased $59.3 million, or 53.9%, from $109.9 million to $169.2 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year. The main driver of the increase in Interest expense, net

for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was an increase in debt from recent acquisition activity.

Other Non-Operating Loss (Income)

Other non-operating loss (income) decreased by $19.2 million to income of $0.6 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, as compared to a loss of $18.6 million in the same period in the prior year. For the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, Other non-operating loss (income) consisted of $0.6 million of seller reimbursement of acquisition-

related retention incentives, $0.4 million of sublease income, and $0.3 million of forfeitures of vested equity awards offset

by $0.8 million of TRA contractual interest and related charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Other

non-operating loss (income) consisted of $18.1 million of expense related to term loan modifications and $0.8 million of

TRA contractual interest and related charges offset by $0.4 million of sublease income.

Income Before Income Taxes

Income before income taxes increased $45.1 million from $203.5 million to $248.6 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the factors described above.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

Income tax expense (benefit) increased $49.5 million from $16.2 million to $65.7 million for the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily as a result of $48.0 million of income tax

expense recognized as a result of the CCR subsequent to the Velocity acquisition in the first quarter of 2025 as well as an

increase in pre-tax book income.

Net Income

Net income decreased $4.4 million from $187.4 million to $182.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025,

compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of the factors described above.

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 consider these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate

49

operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital

structures, tax positions, 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. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed as supplementing,

and not as an alternative or substitute for, the consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with

GAAP. The footnotes to the reconciliation tables below should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated

quarterly financial statements. Industry peers may provide similar supplemental information but may not define similarly

named metrics in the same way we do and may not make identical adjustments.

Organic Revenue Growth Rate

Organic Revenue Growth Rate is defined as the percentage change in Net commissions and fees, as compared to the same

period for the prior year, adjusted to eliminate revenue attributable to acquisitions for the first twelve months of ownership,

revenue attributable to sold businesses for the subsequent twelve months after the sale, and other items such as contingent

commissions and the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.

For the avoidance of doubt, prior period references in the tables below represent the same period in the prior year. A

reconciliation of Organic revenue growth rate to Net commissions and fees growth rate, the most directly comparable

GAAP measure, for each of the periods indicated is as follows (in percentages):

	Three Months Ended<br><br>September 30,		Nine Months Ended<br><br>September 30,

excluding contingent commissions and revenue from sold businesses.

Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense and Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense Ratio

We define Adjusted compensation and benefits expense as Compensation and benefits expense adjusted to reflect items

such as (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) acquisition and restructuring related compensation expense, and (iii) other

exceptional or non-recurring items, as applicable. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Compensation and

benefits expense. Adjusted compensation and benefits expense ratio is defined as Adjusted compensation and benefits

expense as a percentage of Total revenue. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Compensation and benefits

expense ratio.

A reconciliation of Adjusted compensation and benefits expense and Adjusted compensation and benefits expense ratio to

Compensation and benefits expense and Compensation and benefits expense ratio, the most directly comparable GAAP

measures, for each of the periods indicated, is as follows:

Adjusted compensation and benefits expense ratio	55.3 %	56.8 %	55.1 %	57.1 %

(1)For the three months ended September 30, 2025, $5.8 million of expense was reversed associated with certain executive

performance-based awards. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, Equity-based compensation included $4.6

million of expense associated with the removal of equity transfer restrictions for an executive officer of the Company.

See “Note 8, Equity-Based Compensation” of the unaudited quarterly financial statements for additional discussion.

(2)Adjustments to Compensation and benefits expense are described in the definition of Adjusted EBITDAC to Net

Adjusted General and Administrative Expense and Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Ratio

We define Adjusted general and administrative expense as General and administrative expense adjusted to reflect items

such as (i) acquisition and restructuring general and administrative related expense and (ii) other exceptional or non-

recurring items, as applicable. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is General and administrative expense.

Adjusted general and administrative expense ratio is defined as Adjusted general and administrative expense as a

percentage of Total revenue. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is General and administrative expense ratio.

51

A reconciliation of Adjusted general and administrative expense and Adjusted general and administrative expense ratio to

General and administrative expense and General and administrative expense ratio, the most directly comparable GAAP

measures, for each of the periods indicated is as follows:

	Three Months Ended<br><br>September 30,		Nine Months Ended<br><br>September 30,
(in thousands, except percentages)	2025	2024	2025	2024
Total revenue	$754,577	$604,694	$2,299,913	$1,852,181

Adjusted general and administrative expense ratio	13.5 %	11.7 %	12.5 %	10.8 %

(1)Adjustments to General and administrative expense are described in the definition of Adjusted EBITDAC to Net

income in “Adjusted EBITDAC and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin.”

Adjusted EBITDAC and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin

We define Adjusted EBITDAC as Net income before Interest expense, net, Income tax expense (benefit), Depreciation,

Amortization, and Change in contingent consideration, adjusted to reflect items such as (i) equity-based compensation, (ii)

acquisition and restructuring related expenses, and (iii) other exceptional or non-recurring items, as applicable.

Acquisition-related expense includes one-time diligence, transaction-related, and integration costs. Acquisition-related

expense included a $4.5 million charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, related to a deal-contingent foreign

exchange forward contract associated with the Castel acquisition. The remaining charges in both years represent typical

one-time diligence, transaction-related, and integration costs. Acquisition-related long-term incentive compensation arises

from long-term incentive plans associated with acquisitions. These plans require service requirements, and in some cases

performance targets, to be met in order to be earned. Restructuring and related expense consists of compensation and

benefits, occupancy, contractors, professional services, and license fees related to the ACCELERATE 2025 program,

which concluded at the end of 2024. The compensation and benefits expense included severance as well as employment

costs related to services rendered between the notification and termination dates and other termination payments.

Amortization and expense is composed of charges related to discontinued prepaid incentive programs. For the three months

ended September 30, 2025, Other non-operating loss (income) consisted of $0.3 million of forfeitures of vested equity

awards, $0.2 million of seller reimbursement of acquisition-related retention incentives, and $0.2 million of sublease

income offset by $0.4 million of TRA contractual interest and related charges. For the three months ended September 30,

2024, Other non-operating loss (income) consisted of $16.2 million of term loan modification expense and $0.5 million of

TRA contractual interest and related charges offset by $0.1 million of sublease income. For the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, Other non-operating loss (income) consisted of $0.6 million of seller reimbursement of acquisition-

related retention incentives, $0.4 million of sublease income, and $0.3 million of forfeitures of vested equity awards offset

by $0.8 million of TRA contractual interest and related charges. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Other

non-operating loss consisted of $18.1 million of expense related to term loan modifications and $0.8 million of TRA

contractual interest and related charges offset by $0.4 million of sublease income. Equity-based compensation reflects non-

cash equity-based expense. IPO related expenses include compensation-related expense primarily related to the expense for

new awards issued at IPO as well as expense related to the revaluation of existing equity awards at IPO.

Total revenue less Adjusted compensation and benefits expense and Adjusted general and administrative expense is

equivalent to Adjusted EBITDAC. For a breakout of compensation and general and administrative costs for each addback,

refer to the Adjusted compensation and benefits expense and Adjusted general and administrative expense tables above.

The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric to Adjusted EBITDAC is Net income. 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 and Adjusted Net Income Margin

We define Adjusted net income as tax-effected earnings before amortization and certain items of income and expense,

gains and losses, equity-based compensation, acquisition related long-term incentive compensation, acquisition-related

expenses, costs associated with the IPO, and certain exceptional or non-recurring items. The most comparable GAAP

financial metric is Net income. Adjusted net income margin is calculated as Adjusted net income as a percentage of Total

revenue. The most comparable GAAP financial metric is Net income margin.

Following the IPO, the Company is 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 the 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 the LLC.

A reconciliation of Adjusted net income and Adjusted net income margin to Net income and Net income margin, the most

directly comparable GAAP measures, for each of the periods indicated is as follows:

(1)Interest expense, net includes amortization of deferred debt issuance costs.

(2)Adjustments to Net income are described in the definition of Adjusted EBITDAC to Net income in “Adjusted

EBITDAC and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin.”

(3)The Company is 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 the LLC. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025,

this calculation of adjusted income tax expense is based on a federal statutory rate of 21% and a combined state income

tax rate net of federal benefits of 5.00% on 100% of our adjusted income before income taxes as if the Company owned

100% of the LLC. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, this calculation of adjusted income tax

expense is based on a federal statutory rate of 21% and a combined state income tax rate net of federal benefits of

5.12% on 100% of our adjusted income before income taxes as if the Company owned 100% of the LLC.

Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share

We define Adjusted diluted earnings per share as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares outstanding after adjusting

for the effect if 100% of the outstanding LLC Common Units (together with the shares of Class B common stock), vested

Class C Incentive Units, vested but unexercised Options, and unvested equity awards were exchanged into shares of Class

A common stock as if 100% of unvested equity awards were vested. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric

is Diluted earnings per share.

54

A reconciliation of Adjusted diluted earnings per share to Diluted earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP

measure, for each of the periods indicated is as follows:

	Three Months Ended<br><br>September 30,		Nine Months Ended<br><br>September 30,

(1)Adjustment removes the impact of Net income attributed to dilutive awards and substantively vested RSUs to arrive at

Net income attributable to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, this

removes $23.4 million and $8.3 million of Net income, respectively, on 273.5 million and 272.7 million Weighted-

average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30,

2025 and 2024, this removes $1.2 million and $78.3 million of Net income, respectively on 138.1 million and 271.3

million Weighted average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted, respectively. See “Note 9, Earnings

Per Share” of the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements.

(2)For comparability purposes, this calculation incorporates the Net income that would be distributable if all LLC

Common Units (together with shares of Class B common stock) were exchanged for shares of Class A common stock.

For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, this includes $31.5 million and $11.1 million of Net income,

respectively, on 273.5 million and 272.7 million Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding -

diluted, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, this includes $127.5 million and $106.4

million of Net income, respectively, on 273.7 million and 271.3 million Weighted-average shares of Class A common

stock outstanding - diluted, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 135.6 million weighted

average outstanding LLC Common Units were considered dilutive and included in the 273.7 million Weighted-average

shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted within Diluted EPS. See “Note 9, Earnings Per Share” of the

unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements.

(3)Adjustments to Adjusted net income are described in the footnotes of the reconciliation of Adjusted net income to Net

income in “Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Net Income Margin” on 273.5 million and 272.7 million Weighted-

average shares of Class A common stock outstanding - diluted for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and

2024, respectively, and 273.7 million and 271.3 million Weighted-average shares of Class A common stock outstanding

• diluted for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

(4)For comparability purposes and to be consistent with the treatment of the adjustments to arrive at Adjusted net income,

the dilutive effect of unvested equity awards as well as outstanding vested options and vested Class C Incentive Units is

calculated using the treasury stock method as if the weighted-average unrecognized cost associated with the awards was

$0 over the period, less any unvested equity awards determined to be dilutive within the Diluted EPS calculation

disclosed in “Note 9, Earnings Per Share” of the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements. For the three

months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 5.5 million and 3.5 million shares were added to the calculation,

respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 5.4 million and 4.4 million shares were added to

the calculation, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business

operations. We believe that the balance sheet and strong cash flow profile of our business provides adequate liquidity. The

primary sources of liquidity are Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, cash flows provided by

operations, and debt capacity available under our Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan, and Senior Secured Notes. The

primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses, seasonal working capital needs, business combinations, capital

expenditures, obligations under the TRA, taxes, distributions to LLC Unitholders, and dividends to Class A common

stockholders. We believe that Cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, and amounts available under our

Revolving Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet liquidity needs, including principal and interest payments on debt

obligations, capital expenditures, and anticipated working capital requirements, for the next 12 months and beyond. Our

future capital requirements will depend on many factors including continuance of historical working capital levels and

capital expenditure needs, investment in de novo offerings, and the flow of deals in our merger and acquisition program.

On February 20, 2025, our Board declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share on our outstanding Class A

common stock. $0.07 of the regular quarterly dividend was funded by current and prior tax distributions from the LLC that

are in excess of both the corporate income taxes payable by the Company as well as the Company’s obligations pursuant to

the Tax Receivable Agreement. The remaining $0.05 of the regular quarterly dividend was funded by free cash flow from

the LLC and paid to all holders of the Class A common stock and LLC Common Units.

We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing. In the event that additional financing is required from

outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital

or generate cash flows necessary to expand our operations, this could reduce our ability to compete successfully and harm

the results of our operations.

Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets include funds available for general corporate purposes.

Fiduciary cash and receivables cannot be used for general corporate purposes. Insurance premiums, claims funds, and

surplus lines taxes are held in a fiduciary capacity and the obligation to remit these funds are recorded as Fiduciary

liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize fiduciary amounts due to others as Fiduciary liabilities and

fiduciary amounts collectible and held on behalf of others, including insurance carriers, other insurance intermediaries,

surplus lines taxing authorities, clients, and insurance policy holders, as Fiduciary cash and receivables on the Consolidated

Balance Sheets.

In our capacity as an insurance broker or agent, we collect premiums from insureds and, after deducting our commission,

remit the premiums to the respective insurance markets and carriers. We also collect claims prefunding or refunds from

carriers on behalf of insureds, which are then returned to the insureds, and surplus lines taxes, which are then remitted to

surplus lines taxing authorities. Insurance premiums, claims funds, and surplus lines taxes are held in a fiduciary capacity.

The levels of Fiduciary cash and receivables and Fiduciary liabilities can fluctuate significantly depending on when we

collect the premiums, claims prefunding, and refunds, make payments to markets, carriers, surplus lines taxing authorities,

and insureds, and collect funds from clients and make payments on their behalf, and upon the impact of foreign currency

movements. Fiduciary cash, because of its nature, is generally invested in very liquid securities with a focus on

preservation of principal. To minimize investment risk, we maintain cash holdings pursuant to an investment policy which

contemplates all relevant rules established by states with regard to fiduciary cash and is approved by our Board of

Directors. The policy requires broad diversification of holdings across a variety of counterparties utilizing limits set by our

Board of Directors, primarily based on credit rating and type of investment. Fiduciary cash and receivables included cash

of $1,220.4 million and $1,120.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and fiduciary receivables of

$2,526.7 million and $2,236.1 million as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. While we may earn interest

income on fiduciary cash held in cash and investments, the fiduciary cash may not be used for general corporate purposes.

Of the $153.5 million of Cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025, $83.8

million was held in fiduciary accounts representing collected revenue and was available to be transferred to operating

accounts and used for general corporate purposes.

Credit Facilities

We expect to have sufficient financial resources to meet our business requirements for the next 12 months. Although cash

from operations is expected to be sufficient to service our activities, including servicing our debt and contractual

obligations, and financing capital expenditures, we have the ability to borrow under our Revolving Credit Facility to

accommodate any timing differences in cash flows. Additionally, under current market conditions, we believe that we

could access capital markets to obtain debt financing for longer-term funding, if needed.

On February 3, 2022, the LLC issued $400.0 million of 8-year Senior Secured Notes. The notes have a 4.375% interest rate

and will mature on February 1, 2030.

56

On January 19, 2024, we entered into the Fifth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which reduced the applicable interest

rate of the Term Loan from Adjusted Term SOFR + 3.00% to Adjusted Term SOFR + 2.75% and no longer contains a

credit spread adjustment. All other material provisions remain unchanged.

On July 30, 2024, the Company entered into the Sixth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which provided for an

increase in borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from $600.0 million to $1,400.0 million. The

amendment also extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to July 30, 2029, and reduced the applicable

interest rate from Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.50% to 3.00% to Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.00%

to 2.50%, based on the first lien net leverage ratio defined in the Credit Agreement.

On September 13, 2024, the Company entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement, which refinanced the

existing Term Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $1,588.1 million outstanding as of June 30, 2024, and increased

the size of the Term Loan by $111.9 million to $1,700.0 million as of September 30, 2024. In addition to increasing the

size of the Term Loan, the Seventh Amendment reduced the applicable interest rate of the Term Loan from Adjusted Term

SOFR plus a margin of 2.75% to Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin of 2.25% and lowered the 75 basis point floor on

Adjusted Term SOFR to a 0 basis point floor. Upon achievement of a stable (or better) corporate family rating from

Moody’s of Ba3 or better, the applicable interest rate of the Term Loan will be revised to Adjusted Term SOFR plus a

margin of 2.00%. In August 2025, Moody’s Ratings upgraded the Company’s credit rating from B1 to Ba3. As a result, the

applicable interest rate on the Company’s Term Loan decreased from Adjusted Term SOFR + 2.25% as of December 31,

2024, to Adjusted Term SOFR + 2.00% as of September 30, 2025.

On September 19, 2024, the LLC issued $600.0 million of 8-year Senior Secured Notes. On December 9, 2024, the LLC

issued an additional $600.0 million of its 2032 Senior Secured Notes as “additional notes” under a supplement to the

indenture dated as of September 2024. All of the 2032 Senior Secured Notes carry a 5.875% interest rate and will mature

on August 1, 2032.

As of September 30, 2025, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 2.00% plus Adjusted Term SOFR.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under the Credit Agreement and there

were no events of default for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Tax Receivable Agreement

The Company is party to a TRA with current and certain former LLC Unitholders. The TRA provides for the payment by

the Company, to current and certain former LLC Unitholders, of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state,

and local income taxes that the Company realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain

increases in the tax basis of the assets of the LLC resulting from purchases or exchanges of LLC Common Units

(“Exchange Tax Attributes”), (ii) certain tax attributes of the LLC that existed prior to the IPO (“Pre-IPO M&A Tax

Attributes”), (iii) certain favorable “remedial” partnership tax allocations to which the Company becomes entitled to (if

any), and (iv) certain other tax benefits related to the Company entering into the TRA, including tax benefits attributable to

payments that the Company makes under the TRA (“TRA Payment Tax Attributes”). The Company recognizes a liability

on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the undiscounted estimated future payments under the TRA.

Due to the uncertainty of various factors, we cannot precisely quantify the likely tax benefits we will realize as a result of

the LLC Common Unit exchanges and the resulting amounts we are likely to pay out to current and certain former LLC

Unitholders pursuant to the TRA; however, we estimate that such tax benefits and the related TRA payments may be

substantial. As set forth in the table below, and assuming no changes in the relevant tax law and that we earn sufficient

taxable income to realize all cash tax savings that are subject to the TRA, we expect future payments under the TRA as a

result of transactions as of September 30, 2025, will be $473.2 million in aggregate. Future payments in respect to

subsequent exchanges would be in addition to these amounts and are expected to be substantial. The foregoing amounts are

merely estimates and the actual payments could differ materially. In the highly unlikely event of an early termination of the

TRA (e.g., a default by the Company or a Change of Control) the Company is required to pay to each holder of the TRA an

early termination payment equal to the discounted present value of all unpaid TRA payments. The Company has not made,

57

and is not likely to make, an election for an early termination. We expect to fund future TRA payments with tax

distributions from the LLC that come from cash on hand and cash generated from operations.

Total expected estimated tax savings from each of the tax attributes associated with the TRA as of September 30, 2025,

were $556.7 million consisting of (i) Exchange Tax Attributes of $328.7 million, (ii) Pre-IPO M&A Tax Attributes of

$100.4 million, and (iii) TRA Payment Tax Attributes of $127.6 million. The Company will retain the benefit of 15% of

these cash savings.

Comparison of Cash Flows for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $81.7 million from $235.2 million at September 30, 2024, to $153.5 million at

September 30, 2025. A summary of the Company’s cash flows provided by and used for continuing operations from

operating, investing, and financing activities is as follows:

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $380.4 million, an

increase of $125.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase in cash flows provided

by operating activities was driven by an increase of $107.1 million in Amortization associated with recent acquisitions, an

increase of $48.0 million in Deferred income tax expense from the CCR associated with the Velocity acquisition, an

increase of $13.4 million in Deferred income tax expense (benefit), and an increase of $8.4 million in Prepaid and deferred

compensation expense. These increases in cash flows from operating activities were offset by a decrease in Net income of

$4.4 million, an increase in Commissions and fees receivable - net of $27.9 million, a decrease in Accrued interest liability

of $14.7 million, a decrease in Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs of $14.7 million, and a decrease in Non-cash

equity-based compensation of $10.7 million.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Cash flows used for investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $707.2 million, a decrease

of $579.3 million compared to the $1,286.4 million of cash flows used for investing activities during the nine months

ended September 30, 2024. The main driver of the cash flows used for investing activities in the nine months ended

September 30, 2025, was $636.9 million for Business combinations - net of cash acquired and cash held in a fiduciary

capacity, $50.7 million of Capital expenditures, and a $16.6 million Equity method investment in VSIC, compared to

$1,256.7 million for Business combinations - net of cash acquired and cash held in a fiduciary capacity and $29.7 million

of Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $5.3 million, a

decrease of $620.0 million compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $625.3 million during the nine

months ended September 30, 2024. The main drivers of cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine months

ended September 30, 2025, were Borrowings on Revolving Credit Facility (net of repayments) of $124.0 million, a Net

change in fiduciary liabilities of $38.3 million, and Receipt of taxes related to net share settlement of equity awards of

$35.2 million. These increases were offset by Class A common stock dividends and Dividend Equivalents paid of $46.8

million, Tax distributions to non-controlling LLC Unitholders of $45.7 million, Taxes paid related to net share settlement

of equity awards of $36.1 million, Payment of contingent consideration of $29.3 million, Distributions and Declared

Distributions paid to non-controlling LLC Unitholders of $20.4 million, Repayment of term debt of $12.8 million, and

Debt issuance costs paid of $2.9 million. The main drivers of cash flows provided by financing activities during the nine

months ended September 30, 2024, were Proceeds from Senior Secured Notes of $595.2 million, Proceeds from term debt

of $107.6 million, and Net change in fiduciary liabilities of $90.7 million offset by Class A common stock dividends and

Dividend Equivalents paid of $66.5 million, Tax distributions to non-controlling LLC Unitholders of $65.8 million, Debt

issuance costs paid of $16.8 million, Distributions and Declared Distributions paid to non-controlling LLC Unitholders of

58

$16.8 million, Repayment of term debt of $8.3 million, and Payment of accrued return on Ryan Re preferred units of $2.0

million.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Our principal commitments consist of contractual obligations in connection with investing and operating activities. These

obligations are described within “Note 6, Debt” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements, where we

provide further description on provisions that create, increase, or accelerate obligations, or other pertinent data to the extent

necessary for an understanding of the timing and amount of the specified contractual obligations.

Within Current accrued compensation and Non-current accrued compensation we have various long-term incentive

compensation agreements accrued for. These agreements are typically associated with an acquisition. Below we have

outlined the liabilities accrued as of September 30, 2025, the projected future expense, and the projected timing of future

cash outflows associated with these arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The methods, assumptions, and estimates that we use in applying the accounting policies may require us to apply

judgments regarding matters that are inherently uncertain. We consider an accounting policy to be a critical estimate if (i)

the Company must make assumptions that were uncertain when the judgment was made and (ii) changes in the estimate

assumptions, or selection of a different estimate methodology, could have a significant impact on our financial position and

the results that we will report in the consolidated financial statements. While we believe that the estimates, assumptions,

and judgments are reasonable, they are based on information available when the estimate was made. The accounting

policies that we believe reflect our more significant estimates, judgments, and assumptions that are most critical to

understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are: revenue recognition, business combinations, goodwill and

intangibles, income taxes, and tax receivable agreement liabilities.

Our critical accounting policies are described under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial

Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year

ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025. Additionally, the changes, if any, to our critical

accounting policies and estimates disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, are

included in “Note 1, Basis of Presentation,” to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

For a description of recently adopted accounting pronouncements and recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted

(if any), see “Note 1, Basis of Presentation” in the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to various market risks in our day-to-day operations. Market risk is the potential loss arising from adverse

changes in market rates and prices, such as interest and foreign currency exchange rates.

Foreign Currency Risk

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, approximately 6% of revenues were generated from activities in the

United Kingdom, Europe, Canada, India, and Singapore. We are exposed to currency risk from the potential changes

between the exchange rates of the US Dollar, British Pound, Euro, Swedish Krona, Danish Krone, Canadian Dollar,

Singapore Dollar, and other currencies. The exposure to foreign currency risk from the potential changes between the

exchange of USD and other currencies is immaterial.

Interest Rate Risk and Credit Risk

Certain of the Company’s revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes.

Interest rate risk and credit risk to counterparties generated from the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents, and Cash and

cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity, will fluctuate with the general level of interest rates.

As of September 30, 2025, we had $1,687.3 million of outstanding principal on our Term Loan borrowings, which bears

interest on a floating rate, subject to a 0.0% floor. We are subject to Adjusted Term SOFR interest rate changes and

exposure in excess of the floor. The fair value of the Term Loan approximates the carrying amount as of September 30,

2025 and December 31, 2024, as determined based upon information available.

On April 7, 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to manage its exposure to interest rate

fluctuations related to the Company’s Term Loan for an upfront cost of $25.5 million. The interest rate cap has a $1,000.0

million notional amount, 2.75% strike, and terminates on December 31, 2025.

60

Based on the below balances as of September 30, 2025, the impact of a hypothetical 100 basis point (BPS) increase or

decrease in quarter-end prevailing short-term interest rates for one year would be:

(in thousands)	Balance at<br><br>September 30, 2025	100 BPS<br><br>Increase	100 BPS<br><br>Decrease
Cash and cash equivalents	$153,485	$(1,535)	$1,535
Term Loan principal outstanding (1)	1,687,300	16,873	(16,873)
Interest rate cap notional amount (2)	1,000,000	(10,000)	10,000
Net exposure to Interest expense, net		$5,338	$(5,338)
Cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity	$1,220,388	$12,204	$(12,204)
Net exposure to Fiduciary investment income		$12,204	$(12,204)
Impact to Net income		$6,866	$(6,866)

(1)To the extent SOFR falls below 0.0%, the impact of the change in interest rates is zero.

(2)To the extent interest rates fall below 2.75%, the impact of the change in interest rates is zero.

In addition to interest rate risk, our cash investments and fiduciary cash holdings are subject to potential loss of value due

to counterparty credit risk. To minimize this risk, the Company and its subsidiaries hold funds pursuant to an investment

policy approved by our Board. The policy mandates the preservation of principal and liquidity and requires broad

diversification with counter-party limits assigned based primarily on credit rating and type of investment. The Company

carefully monitors its cash, cash equivalents, and cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity, and plans to

further restrict the portfolio as appropriate with respect to market conditions. The majority of Cash and cash equivalents

and Cash and cash equivalents held in a fiduciary capacity are held in demand deposit accounts and short-term investments,

consisting principally of AAA-rated money market funds and treasury bills, having original maturities of 90 days or less.

Other financial instruments consist of Cash and cash equivalents, Commissions and fees receivable – net, Other current

assets, and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Commissions and

fees receivable – net, and Accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short-term nature

of the instruments.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rule 13a–15(e) and Rule 15d–15(e) under the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that

information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is

recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure

controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that

information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is

accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as

appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive

officer and principal financial officer have concluded that as of September 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures

were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control

There have been no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025, that

have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives as

specified above. Management does not expect, however, that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect

all errors and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and

61

can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can

provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of

fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal proceedings and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course

of business. Although the results of litigation and claims are inherently unpredictable and uncertain, we are not presently a

party to any litigation the outcome of which, we believe, if determined adversely to us, would individually or taken

together have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our annual report on

Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On July 1, 2025, as partial consideration for the asset acquisition of J.M. Wilson Corporation, New LLC and the Company

issued 295,629 LLC Common Units and an equal number of shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share,

of the Company (the “Class B Common Stock”), respectively. Each LLC Common Unit and its associated share of Class B

Common Stock was issued for $67.6523, which was the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s Class A

Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), on the NYSE for the twenty consecutive

trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the issuance date. The issuances by New LLC and the

Company were exempt from registration in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, on

the basis that the transaction did not involve a public offering. No underwriters were involved in the issuance and sale of

the LLC Common Units and the Class B Common Stock.

Shares of Class B Common Stock do not represent economic interests in the Company but do confer a voting right to the

holder. Pursuant to the terms of the New LLC Operating Agreement, the LLC Common Units, along with an equivalent

number of shares of Class B Common Stock, may be exchanged by the holder for an equal number of shares of Class A

Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock delivered for exchange will be cancelled for no consideration.

Purchases of Equity Securities by the Issuer or an Affiliated Purchaser.

The following table summarizes purchases of shares of our Class A Common Stock during the three months ended

September 30, 2025, by Patrick G. Ryan, the Company’s founder and Executive Chairman. Mr. Ryan may be deemed to be

an “affiliated purchaser” (as such term is used in Rule 10b-18(a)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act).

Period	Total Number of<br><br>Shares Purchased 1	Average Price<br><br>Paid per Share
July 1 - July 31, 2025	—	—
August 1 - August 31, 2025	—	—
September 1 - September 30, 2025	276,634	$51.8384
Total	276,634	$51.8384

1 All shares were purchased in open-market transactions by Mr. Ryan in compliance with rule 10b-18 and not as part of a

repurchase plan or program.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

62

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Not applicable.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

During the quarter ended September 30, 2025, Mark S. Katz, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate

Secretary, adopted on August 21, 2025, a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” (as such term is defined in Item 408(a) of

Regulation S-K) intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act (a

“10b5-1 Plan”) to sell (i) up to 5,500 shares of the Company’s Class A common stock that are issuable upon conversion of

LLC Common Units and (ii) a number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of up to 70,000 Class

C Incentive Units of New LLC (the “Class C Units”), between the first potential sale date on November 20, 2025, and the

expiration of his 10b5-1 Plan on March 13, 2026. The Class C Units are profits interests with a participation threshold, as

of September 30, 2025, of $23.19. Pursuant to the terms of the award agreement for the Class C Units, the participation

threshold is adjusted downward for distributions that the LLC makes to the Company. When the value of the Class A

common stock exceeds the participation threshold of the Class C Units, the vested profits interests may be exchanged for

LLC Common Units of equal value where the value of each Class C Unit is equal to the difference between the 20-day

volume weighted average price of the Class A common stock immediately preceding the date of exchange and the

participation threshold. On exchange, the LLC Common Units are immediately redeemed on a one-for-one basis for Class

A common stock of the Company. For more information regarding Class C Incentive Units of New LLC and applicable

participation threshold information, see “Note 8, Equity-Based Compensation” of the unaudited quarterly consolidated

financial statements included herein.
