Third Quarter 2021 Review*
Total revenue for the third quarter of 2021 was $352.8 million, an increase of 49.0% compared to $236.8 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily driven by strong organic growth as well as the All Risks acquisition, which was completed on September 1, 2020. Organic revenue growth of 28.9%, was driven by new client wins, expanded relationships with existing clients, an overall expansion of the E&S market, and premium rate increases.
Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $353.5 million, a 67.5% increase compared to the prior-year period. This was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense, which is heavily correlated to revenue growth as many of Ryan Specialty’s producers are compensated based on a percentage of the revenue they generate for the Company. Additionally, the Company recognized IPO-related compensation expense of $57.6 million. This IPO-related compensation expense reflects several one-time payments made at the IPO, the revaluation of existing equity grants at IPO, as well as the first period of expense related to one-time IPO awards. General and administrative expense also rose compared to the prior-year period to accommodate revenue growth, while amortization of intangible assets increased as a result of the All Risks acquisition.
Net loss for the third quarter of 2021 was $32.6 million, compared to net income of $10.8 million in the prior-year period. The reduction was due to certain non-operating charges in connection with the IPO, amortization from the acquired intangible assets from the All Risks acquisition, and increased interest expense in connection with the debt used to fund the All Risks acquisition.
Adjusted EBITDAC of $105.0 million grew 55.9% from $67.4 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted EBITDAC Margin for the quarter was 29.8%, a 140 basis point improvement compared to the prior-year period. The increases in Adjusted EBITDAC and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin were primarily driven by revenue growth creating operating leverage in compensation and benefits expense, as well as continued execution of the Company’s restructuring plan, partially offset by increased General and Administrative expense. The restructuring plan, which the Company initiated in 2020, is anticipated to achieve $25 million in cumulative annualized cost savings when fully actioned by June 30, 2022.
Adjusted Net Income for the third quarter of 2021 rose 51.1% to $62.9 million, compared to $41.7 million in the prior-year period. Adjusted Net Income Margin rose 20 basis points to 17.8%, reflecting operating leverage as revenue growth outpaced growth in operating expenses.

Review of Third Quarter 2021 Revenue by Specialty
Wholesale Brokerage net commissions and fees increased by 48.3% to $229.1 million, compared to $154.5 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to strong organic growth within the specialty, as well as revenue from the All Risks acquisition, which was included in the organic growth calculation beginning September 1st.
Binding Authority net commissions and fees grew by 46.1% to $52.8 million, compared to $36.1 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to strong organic growth within the specialty, as well as revenue from the All Risks acquisition, which was included in the organic growth calculation beginning September 1st.
Underwriting Management net commissions and fees increased by 53.4% to $70.7 million, compared to $46.1 million in the prior-year period. This increase was primarily due to strong organic growth within the specialty, as well as revenue from the All Risks acquisition, which was included in the organic growth calculation beginning September 1st.
Liquidity and Financial Condition
As of September 30, 2021, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $413.7 million and outstanding debt principal of $1.6 billion.
Full Year 2021 Outlook*
The Company is raising its full year 2021 outlook for both Organic Revenue Growth Rate and Adjusted EBITDAC Margin:
- Organic Revenue Growth Rate for full year 2021 is now expected to be between 21.5% - 22.5%, compared to the Company’s prior outlook of between 18.0% - 20.0%.
- Adjusted EBITDAC Margin for full year 2021 is now expected to be between 31.5% - 32.0%, compared to the Company’s prior outlook of between 30.0% - 30.5%.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Key Performance Indicators
In assessing the performance of our business, we use non-GAAP financial measures that are derived from our consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. We use these non-GAAP financial measures when planning, monitoring and evaluating our performance. We consider 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 we believe are not representative of our core business. We use the following non-GAAP measures for business planning purposes, in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors, to help investors to understand the nature of our growth, and to enable investors to evaluate the run-rate performance of the Company. Non-GAAP measures have limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results as reported under GAAP.
Organic Revenue Growth Rate: Organic Revenue Growth Rate represents the percentage change in revenue, as compared to the same period for the year prior, adjusted for revenue attributable to acquisitions during their first 12 months of the Company’s ownership, and other adjustments such as contingent commissions, fiduciary investment income, and foreign exchange rates. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Total Revenue Growth Rate.
Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense: Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense represents Compensation and Benefits Expense adjusted to reflect items such as (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) acquisition and restructuring related compensation expenses, and (iii) other exceptional or non-recurring compensation expenses, as applicable. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Compensation and Benefits Expense.
Adjusted General and Administrative Expense: Adjusted General and Administrative Expense represents General and Administrative Expense adjusted to reflect items such as (i) acquisition and restructuring related general and administrative expenses, and (ii) other exceptional or non-recurring general and administrative expenses, as applicable. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is General and Administrative Expense.
Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense Ratio: Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense Ratio represents the Adjusted Compensation and Benefits Expense as a percentage of total revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Compensation and Benefits Expense Ratio.
Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Ratio: Adjusted General and Administrative Expense Ratio represents the Adjusted General and Administrative Expense as a percentage of total revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is General and Administrative Expense Ratio.
Adjusted EBITDAC: Adjusted EBITDAC is defined as Net Income before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation, amortization, and change in contingent consideration, adjusted to reflect items such as (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) acquisition-related expenses, and (iii) other exceptional or non-recurring items, as applicable. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income.
Adjusted EBITDAC Margin: Adjusted EBITDAC Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDAC as a percentage of total revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income Margin.
Adjusted Net Income: Adjusted Net Income is tax-effected earnings before amortization and certain items of income and expense, gains and losses, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related expenses, and certain exceptional or non-recurring items. The Company will be subject to United States federal income taxes, in addition to state, local, and foreign taxes, with respect to our allocable share of any net taxable income of Ryan Specialty Group, LLC. For comparability purposes, this calculation incorporates the impact of federal and state statutory tax rates on 100% of our adjusted pre-tax income as if the Company owned 100% of Ryan Specialty Group, LLC. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income.
Adjusted Net Income Margin: Adjusted Net Income Margin is defined as Adjusted Net Income as a percentage of total revenue. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Net Income Margin.
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 of the exchange of 100% of the outstanding common units of New RSG Holdings, LLC (together with the shares of Class B common stock) into shares of Class A common stock and the effect of unvested equity awards. The most directly comparable GAAP financial metric is Diluted Earnings per Share. The reconciliation of the above non-GAAP measures to 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 2021 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 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.
