Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Accounting | The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation have been included. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Business Realignment | Business Realignment In conjunction with the divestiture of certain businesses within the Company’s former Services segment in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company aligned its business from four to three segments beginning in fiscal year 2024. As a result of the segment reorganization, the Services segment was eliminated as a business segment. The Company now reports its financial results in the following three reportable segments: Retail, Programs and Wholesale Brokerage. The historical results, discussion and presentation of our business segments as set forth in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and these Notes reflect the impact of these changes for all periods presented in order to present segment information on a comparable basis. The results of the businesses sold in the fourth quarter of 2023 are presented within the Programs segment. There is no impact on our previously reported consolidated statements of income, balance sheets, statements of cash flows, statements of comprehensive income or statements of equity resulting from these changes. See Note 12 of these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Pursuant to the sale of certain third-party claims administration and adjusting services businesses in the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company is entitled to future consideration payments upon achievement of certain conditions in accordance with the terms of the sale agreement. During the second quarter of 2024, the conditions associated with one of the contingent payments were achieved which resulted in the Company recognizing a gain of $29 million within the Programs segment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures." This ASU requires additional reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the ASU enhances interim disclosure requirements effectively making the current annual requirements a requirement for interim reporting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements. On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." This ASU improves the transparency of income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating these new disclosure requirements.
