“Given the significant demands facing Gallagher related to the industry-wide issues surrounding contingent commissions, I couldn’t be more pleased with our results,” said J. Patrick Gallagher, Jr., President and Chief Executive Officer. “On May 18, 2005, we reached a national agreement with regulators here in our home state of Illinois that we believe allows us to move forward in this new environment. However, we must still resolve these issues in 18 other states and 13 class action lawsuits, which are certainly distractive and consume our energies. Nonetheless, we continue to sell and provide our clients with excellent service.”

Brokerage and Risk Management Combined Second Quarter Highlights – Record Earnings
| • | Revenue growth of 9%, of which 2% is organic. |
| • | In second quarter 2005, commission audits resulted in one-time commission refunds of $2.4 million, or $.02 per diluted share. |
| • | Pretax margin of 18%. The 0.4% margin reduction from 2004 results primarily from investments in new hires of 0.5%, foreign currency translation of 0.6%, increased pension costs of 0.7%, professional fees of 0.6% and one-time commission refunds of 0.6%, which were offset by a pension curtailment gain of 3%. As previously announced, effective June 30, 2005, Gallagher made amendments to several employee benefit plans that resulted in a second quarter 2005, pretax gain of $10.0 million. Gallagher estimates quarterly pretax savings as a result of these amendments of approximately $5.0 million in both third and fourth quarters 2005 and approximately $3.0 million quarterly thereafter. |
| • | Gallagher ceased entering into new contingent commission agreements as a retail broker effective January 1, 2005. Below is a table that shows revenues recognized in 2004 related to 2003 retail contingent commission contracts and in 2005 related to 2004 retail contingent commission contracts. The increase in contingent commissions in 2005 resulted from brokers acquired in 2004. |

| • | In first quarter 2005, Gallagher sold its two medical claim management operations. Historical revenues and expenses related to these entities have been reclassified as discontinued operations. |
| • | Effective tax rate of 23% versus 20% in 2004. |
Brokerage Segment Second Quarter Highlights
| • | Revenue growth of 11%, of which 1% is organic. |
| • | Closed five acquisitions and the pipeline remains strong. |
| • | Second quarter compensation ratio was 0.4% lower than 2004. The pension curtailment gain of 2.8% was mostly offset by compensation expense related to new hires in the retail operations of 0.5%, new hires and charges related to staffing changes made in Gallagher’s London and reinsurance operations of 0.2%, increased stock option expense of 0.3%, increased pension costs of 0.7% and one-time commission refunds of 0.6%. |
| • | Second quarter operating expense ratio was 2.9% higher than 2004, reflecting the impact of foreign currency translation of 0.6%, professional fees of 0.9%, increased insurance costs of 0.9% and one-time commission refunds of 0.2%. |
| • | Pretax margin of 18%. The 2.2% margin reduction from 2004 results primarily from the compensation and operating expense factors discussed above. |
Risk Management Segment Second Quarter Highlights – Record Earnings
| • | Diluted earnings per share growth of 25%; 32% growth in pretax earnings. |
| • | Revenue growth of 4%, all of which is organic. The rate of revenue growth is less than first quarter 2005 due to (i) reduced claim count frequency from existing clients in the international operations and (ii) reduced levels of new business in the latter part of 2004 and early 2005, and a slower rate of increase in claim counts from existing clients. |
| • | Second quarter compensation ratio was 0.2% higher than 2004. The pension curtailment gain of 3.5% was mostly offset by increased pension costs of 0.6%, lower revenues in International operations and to compensation expense related to new hires to support new business growth anticipated in the second half of 2005. |
| • | Second quarter operating expense ratio was 4.6% lower than 2004 due to expense savings initiatives put in place in the latter part of 2004. |
| • | Pretax margin of 21%. The 4.4% margin improvement over 2004 results primarily from expense savings initiatives put in place in 2004 and the impact of the pension curtailment gain. |
| • | Clients’ use of Gallagher’s proprietary Risx-Facs® system now exceeds 18 million page views per month. |

Financial Services Segment Highlights
| • | In second quarter 2005, Gallagher completed the sale of its Florida Community Development investment and recorded a one time gain of $12.6 million ($0.08 per diluted share after tax). Because this was a consolidated investment with significant assets and liabilities, GAAP requires classification of historical revenues and expenses related to this investment as discontinued operations. |
| • | In second quarter 2005, Gallagher received $5.8 million in cash comprising a $2.1 million dividend ($0.02 per diluted share after tax) and a $3.7 million return of capital from one of its Bermuda Insurance Investments. On July 19, 2005, Gallagher sold its remaining interest in this investment for cash. No gain or loss resulted from this sale. |
| • | In second quarter 2005, Gallagher sold its interest in the Biogas Project and recognized a $1.3 million gain ($0.01 per diluted share after tax). |
| • | Revenues and tax credits related to Gallagher’s Syn/Coal investments may phase out if average oil prices reach certain levels. Gallagher estimates that the commonly reported crude oil price would need to average approximately $67 per barrel for the remainder of 2005 for any phase-out to begin and average approximately $93 per barrel for the remainder of 2005 for a complete phase-out. |
| • | Gallagher estimates a net loss of $.04 per diluted share in both third and fourth quarters 2005 for the Financial Services Segment, which was the same guidance as Gallagher provided for these periods in Gallagher’s first quarter earnings release issued on April 26, 2005. |
| • | Adoption of FIN 46 - In third quarter 2003, Gallagher adopted a new accounting pronouncement, FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN 46) - “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which required the company to consolidate one investment not previously consolidated because the company does not control the investment through a majority voting interest. Previously reported financial statements were not restated for the adoption of FIN 46. During third quarter 2004, Gallagher sold a portion of its interest in this investment, which eliminated the requirement to consolidate the investment under the FIN 46 rules. This investment is now accounted for using equity method accounting. |
The company will host a webcast conference call on Wednesday, July 27, 2005 at 9:00 a.m. ET to further discuss these quarterly results. To listen, please go to www.ajg.com.

Notes to Second Quarter 2005 Earnings Release and Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This exhibit contains supplemental non-GAAP financial information within the meaning of Regulation G of the SEC’s rules. Consistent with Regulation G, a description of such information is provided below and a reconciliation of certain of such items to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is provided elsewhere in this press release. Gallagher believes the items described below provide meaningful additional information, which may be helpful to investors in assessing certain aspects of Gallagher’s operating performance and financial condition that may not be otherwise apparent from GAAP. Industry peers provide similar supplemental information, although they may not use the same or comparable terminology and may not make identical adjustments. This non-GAAP information should be used in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the GAAP information.
Non-GAAP Measures Defined
| (1) | Organic growth excludes the first twelve months of net commission and fee revenues generated from the acquisitions accounted for as purchases and the net commission and fee revenues related to operations disposed of in each year presented. These commissions and fees are excluded from organic revenues in order to determine the revenue growth that is associated with the operations that were a part of Gallagher in both the current and prior year. In addition, organic growth excludes contingent commission revenues. |
| (2) | Represents pretax earnings (loss) from continuing operations before the impact of pretax litigation and contingent commission related matters divided by total revenues. |
| (3) | Represents year-to-date net earnings divided by total stockholders’ equity, less net balance of goodwill and amortizable intangible assets, as of the beginning of the year. |
| (4) | Represents net earnings before the after-tax effect of the impact of litigation and contingent commission related matters, investment gains (losses), pension plan curtailment gain, depreciation, amortization, amortization of deferred compensation and restricted stock expense and stock compensation expense. |
| (5) | Represents total stockholders’ equity less net balance of goodwill and amortizable intangible assets. |
| (6) | Represents tangible net worth divided by the common shares outstanding at the end of the period. |
