By GlobalDataHowever, Aon’s total operating expenses surged 37% year-on-year to $3.1bn.
This increase was driven by the addition of NFP’s operating expenses and higher intangible asset amortisation from the NFP deal.
Expenses related to organic revenue growth, charges from the Accelerating Aon United restructuring programme, and investments aimed at long-term growth also led to a spike in costs.
Aon CEO Greg Case stated: “Our global team delivered another quarter of excellent results in the third quarter, with 7% total organic revenue growth, including all solution lines at 6% or greater, which contributed to adjusted operating margin expansion and 17% growth in adjusted EPS.
“Our performance through the first three quarters positions us well to deliver full-year results in line with our financial guidance, and demonstrates the success of our 3×3 Plan to bring better client solutions across risk capital and human capital, powered by Aon Business Services.”
