These results speak to the exceptional efforts of our brokers and underwriters, and to the differentiated, scalable platform we've built - one we believe is exceedingly difficult to replicate. Our consistent ability to anticipate specialty insurance needs and deliver unique, innovative solutions has positioned us with one of the broadest and most diverse product portfolios in the industry, spanning wholesale brokerage, delegated authority, reinsurance, benefits and alternative capital solutions. We also continued to return capital to shareholders through our dividend, repurchasing shares worth $260 million during the quarter, and expanding our repurchase authorization by an additional $300 million. As we move through the back half of the year, we remain confident that our platform, our talent, and our culture will continue to fuel durable, industry-leading growth, attractive margins, and further enhance our position as a leader in specialty insurance for years to come.” 2 “It was another standout quarter for Ryan Specialty as we continued to focus on delivering for our clients," added Timothy W. Turner, Chief Executive Officer of Ryan Specialty. "Positioned at the top of both specialty distribution and underwriting, the platform we've built over the past 16 years enables us to anticipate, identify, and meet the most pressing needs of our clients, even in the most challenging environments.

(4)See “Note 10, Earnings Per Share” of the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements Second Quarter 2026 Review* Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 was $916.6 million, an increase of 7.2% compared to $855.2 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to continued organic revenue growth of 6.7%, driven by new client wins, strong renewal retention, and expanded relationships with existing clients, coupled with continued flow into the specialty and E&S markets, and modest amounts of revenue from acquisitions completed within the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2026. We experienced growth across the majority of our casualty lines, offset by a moderate decline in our property portfolio. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2026 were $736.3 million, a 10.9% increase compared to $664.1 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to higher Compensation and benefits expenses resulting from growth in headcount and revenue and an increase in Restructuring and related expense due to the Empower Program, partially offset by a decrease in Acquisition related long-term incentive compensation related to the decline in acquisition activity compared to the prior period. General and administrative expense also increased compared to the prior-year period due to an increase in costs directly linked to revenue growth and an increase in Restructuring and related expense due to the Empower Program, partially offset by lower Acquisition-related expenses. Change in contingent consideration also increased compared to the prior-year period. Net income for the second quarter of 2026 decreased 13.1% to $108.4 million, compared to $124.7 million in the prior-year period, primarily driven by an increase in Total operating expenses and a higher Income tax expense, partially offset by strong revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDAC grew 6.0% to $326.9 million from $308.4 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDAC margin for the quarter was 35.7%, compared to 36.1% in the prior-year period. The increase in Adjusted EBITDAC was driven primarily by strong revenue growth, partially offset by higher Adjusted compensation and benefits expense and Adjusted general and administrative expense. Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2026 increased 7.6% to $198.7 million, compared to $184.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted net income margin was 21.7%, compared to 21.6% in the prior-year period. Adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2026 increased 12.1% to $0.74, compared to $0.66 in the prior- year period. *For the definition of each of the non-GAAP measures referred to above, as well as a reconciliation of such non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators” below. 4 Second Quarter 2026 Net Commissions and Fees by Specialty and Revenue by Type Growth in Net commissions and fees in all specialties was primarily driven by solid organic growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators In assessing the performance of the Company’s business, non-GAAP financial measures are used that are derived from the Company’s consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company considers these non-GAAP financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, depreciation, amortization, and certain other items that the Company believes are not representative of its core business. The Company uses the following non-GAAP measures for business planning purposes, in measuring performance relative to that of its competitors, to help investors to understand the nature of the Company’s 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 in the Company’s Quarterly Report on form 10-Q filed with the SEC. Industry peers may provide similar supplemental information but may not define similarly-named metrics in the same way and may not make identical adjustments. Organic revenue growth rate: Organic revenue growth rate represents 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.

Restructuring and related expense consists of compensation and benefits, contractors, professional services, and license fees related to the Empower Program, which was initiated at the beginning of 2026. Restructuring expense within general and administrative expense includes costs relating to professional services, technology and data initiatives, license fees, and third-party contractors, as well as non-cash expenses associated with the impairment of internally-developed software.

The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Net income margin. 8 Adjusted diluted earnings per share: Adjusted diluted earnings per share is defined as Adjusted net income divided by diluted shares outstanding after adjusting for the effect if 100% of the outstanding LLC Common Units (“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. Credit Adjusted EBITDAC: Credit Adjusted EBITDAC is defined as Adjusted EBITDAC as further adjusted without duplication for: acquired EBITDAC from the beginning of the applicable twelve month reference period through the acquisition close date, certain annualized run rate expected cost savings and initiatives, and certain other adjustments as permitted in calculating leverage ratios under our debt agreements. The Company presents Credit Adjusted EBITDAC as an additional measure of liquidity and leverage. The calculation of Credit Adjusted EBITDAC pursuant to our debt agreements permits certain estimates and assumptions that may differ from actual results. The summary unaudited consolidated financial data presented for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, was derived by adding the consolidated financial data of the Company for the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, to the consolidated financial data of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and subtracting the consolidated financial data of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The summary unaudited consolidated financial data for the twelve months ended June 30, 2026, has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily representative of our results of operations for any future period or our financial condition at any future date. The reconciliation of the above non-GAAP measures to each of their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release. With respect to the Organic revenue growth rate and Adjusted EBITDAC margin outlook presented in the “Full Year 2026 Outlook” section of this press release, the Company is unable to provide a comparable outlook for, or a reconciliation to, Total revenue growth rate or Net income margin because it cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. Its inability to do so is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities, and other one-time or exceptional items.
