Segment Reporting [Abstract] |
Segment Information | NOTE 15 Segme nt Information Brown & Brown’s business is divided into three reportable segments: (i) the Retail segment, which provides a broad range of insurance products and services to commercial, public and quasi-public entities, and to professional and individual customers, and non-insurance risk-mitigating products through our F&I businesses, (ii) the Programs segment, which primarily acts as MGUs, provides professional liability and related package products for certain professionals, a range of insurance products for individuals, flood coverage, and targeted products and services designated for specific industries, trade groups, governmental entities and market niches, all of which are delivered through nationwide networks of independent agents, and Brown & Brown retail agents and (iii) the Wholesale Brokerage segment, which markets and sells excess and surplus commercial and personal lines insurance, primarily through independent agents and brokers, as well as Brown & Brown retail agents. Brown & Brown conducts most of its operations within the United States of America. International operations include Retail operations in Bermuda, Canada, Cayman Islands, the Netherlands, Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom; Programs operations in Canada, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom; and Wholesale Brokerage operations based in Belgium, Hong Kong, Italy and the United Kingdom. These operations earned $665 million, $527 million and $240 million of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1. The Company evaluates the performance of its segments based upon revenues and income before income taxes. Intersegment revenues are eliminated. The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), the president and chief executive officer, regularly receives total revenue, income before income taxes and earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables ("EBITDAC"). The metrics are used to review operating trends, to perform analytical comparisons between periods and to monitor budget to actual variances. The Company's CODM does not use segment assets to make resource allocation decisions, therefore it has not been presented. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company sold certain third-party claims administration and adjusting services businesses representing approximately 50% of the total revenues of the Services segment. As a result, beginning in fiscal year 2024, the Company operates three segments. Balances presented for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 have been recast to align with the three-segment structure. Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments is shown in the following table.
