INFORMATION CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains certain statements related to future results, or states our intentions, beliefs, and expectations or predictions for the future, all of which are forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements represent management’s expectations or forecasts of future events. These statements include statements about our plans, objectives, strategies, financial performance and outlook, trends, prospects or other future events and involve known and unknown risks that are difficult to predict. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “project,” “positioned,” “intend,” “plan,” “probably,” “potential,” “looking forward,” “continue,” and other similar terms, and future or conditional tense verbs like “could,” “may,” “might,” “should,” “will,” and “would.” You can also identify forward-looking statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. For example, we may use forward-looking statements when addressing topics such as: market and industry conditions, including competitive and pricing trends; changes in our business strategies and methods of generating revenue; the development and performance of our services and products; changes in the composition or level of our revenues; our cost structure and the outcome of cost-saving or restructuring initiatives, including the impacts of the Accelerating Aon United Program; the outcome of contingencies; dividend policy; the expected impact of acquisitions, dispositions, and other significant transactions or the termination thereof; litigation and regulatory matters; pension obligations; cash flow and liquidity; expected effective tax rate; expected foreign currency translation impacts; potential changes in laws or future actions by regulators; and the impact of changes in accounting rules. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from either historical or anticipated results depending on a variety of factors. Potential factors, which may be revised or supplemented in subsequent reports filed or furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission, that could impact results include:
•changes in the competitive environment, due to macroeconomic conditions or otherwise, or damage to our reputation;
•fluctuations in currency exchange, interest, or inflation rates that could impact our financial condition or results;
•changes in global equity and fixed income markets that could affect the return on invested assets;
•changes in the funded status of our various defined benefit pension plans and the impact of any increased pension funding resulting from those changes;
•the level of our debt and the terms thereof reducing our flexibility or increasing borrowing costs;
•rating agency actions that could limit our access to capital and our competitive position;
•our global tax rate being subject to a variety of different factors, including the adoption and implementation in the European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, or other countries of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development tax proposals or other pending proposals in those and other countries, which could create volatility in that tax rate;
•changes in our accounting estimates and assumptions on our financial statements;
•limits on our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or otherwise make payments to their respective parent entities;
•the impact of legal proceedings and other contingencies, including those arising from acquisition or disposition transactions, errors and omissions and other claims against us (including proceedings and contingencies relating to transactions for which capital was arranged by Vesttoo Ltd. or related to actions we may take in being responsible for making decisions on behalf of clients in our investment businesses or in other advisory services that we currently provide, or may provide in the future);
•the impact of, and potential challenges in complying with, laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate, particularly given the global nature of our operations and the possibility of differing or conflicting laws and regulations, or the application or interpretation thereof, across such jurisdictions;
•the impact of any regulatory investigations brought in Ireland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and other countries;
•failure to protect intellectual property rights or allegations that we have infringed on the intellectual property rights of others;

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Aon plc and all of its controlled subsidiaries (“Aon” or the “Company”). Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and reclassifications) necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented.
Certain information and disclosures normally included in the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of operating results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2025.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of reserves and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment. Management believes its estimates to be reasonable given the current facts available. Aon adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets, and foreign currency exchange rate movements increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment would, if applicable, be reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in future periods.
2. Accounting Principles and Practices
New Accounting Pronouncements
Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted
Accounting for and Disclosure of Software Costs
In September 2025, the FASB issued new accounting guidance under ASC 350-40, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other Internal-Use Software to modernize the criteria for capitalizing software development costs by removing references to development stages and framework updates to better reflect current software development practices. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact the new guidance will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes.
Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued new accounting guidance under ASC 740, Income Taxes, which requires additional income tax disclosures on an annual basis, including disaggregation of information presented within the reconciliation of the expected tax to the reported tax by specific categories, with certain reconciling items 5% or greater broken out by nature and/or jurisdiction. The new guidance also requires disclosure of income taxes paid, net of refunds, broken out by federal, state/local and foreign, including disclosure of individual jurisdictions when greater than 5% of total net income taxes paid. The new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning the year ended December 31, 2025. The Company is evaluating the transition approach as well as the impact the disclosures will have on the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.





13

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued new accounting guidance under ASC 220, Income Statement — Reporting Comprehensive Income, which requires more detailed information about certain expenses in commonly presented expense captions including inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and amortization. The new guidance also requires disclosure of total selling expenses and, on an annual basis, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The new guidance is effective for the year ended December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Entities may apply the new guidance on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the transition approach and the impact the guidance will have on the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Securities and Exchange Commission Final Rules
The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors
In March 2024, the SEC adopted final rules to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures. The final rules would require the Company to provide certain climate-related information in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis regarding material climate-related risks, activities to mitigate or adapt to such risks, information regarding oversight and management of climate-related risks, information on climate-related targets or goals, and disclosure of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions. Additionally, within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company would be required to disclose the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions. The final rules were to be effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, with the exception of GHG emissions disclosures which were to be effective for the year ended December 31, 2026. The final rules have been subject to several legal challenges and on April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the final rules, which remains in effect. On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end its legal defense of the final rules in Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. The Eighth Circuit has suspended the litigation until the SEC informs the court whether it intends to reconsider the rules under administrative procedures or whether the SEC will renew its defense of the rules. The Company is monitoring the judicial process for resolution of the legal challenges and impacts on the disclosure requirements.

4. Accelerating Aon United Program
In the third quarter of 2023, Aon initiated a three-year restructuring program called the Accelerating Aon United Program (the “Program” or the “AAU Program”) with the purpose of streamlining the Company’s technology infrastructure, optimizing its leadership structure and resource alignment, and reducing its real estate footprint to align to its hybrid working strategy. The Program includes technology-related costs to facilitate streamlining and simplifying operations, headcount reduction costs, and costs associated with asset impairments, including real estate consolidation and technology costs. The Program is an investment in the Company’s 3x3 Plan that brings together the best of the firm through its Aon United strategy, delivered as Risk Capital and Human Capital, and Aon’s Client Leadership model, powered by Aon Business Services.
Program charges are recognized within Accelerating Aon United Program expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and consist of the following cost activities:
•Technology and other – includes costs associated with actions taken to rationalize applications and to optimize technology across the Company. These costs may include termination fees and other non-capitalizable costs associated with Program initiatives, which include professional service fees.
•Workforce optimization – includes costs associated with headcount reduction and other separation-related costs.
•Asset impairments – includes non-cash costs associated with impairment of assets, as they are identified, including ROU lease assets, leasehold improvements, and other capitalized assets no longer providing economic benefit.
The Program is currently expected to result in cumulative costs of $1.0 billion, consisting of approximately $0.9 billion of cash charges and approximately $0.1 billion of non-cash charges. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, total Program costs incurred were $32 million and $236 million, respectively. Over the life of the Program, the Risk Capital segment is expected to incur approximately $230 million of charges, while the Human Capital segment is expected to incur approximately $60 million of charges, with the remaining charges relating to corporate expenses.

The results of operations of these acquisitions are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of the respective acquisition dates. The Company’s results of operations would not have been materially different if these acquisitions had been reported from the beginning of the period in which they were acquired.
Significant Prior Year Acquisition
On April 25, 2024, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding equity interests of NFP Intermediate Holdings A Corp. (the “NFP Transaction”) in a cash-and-stock merger for an aggregate U.S. GAAP purchase price totaling $9.1 billion, including approximately $3.2 billion used to settle indebtedness of NFP and cash consideration to the selling shareholders, and approximately 19 million class A ordinary shares with a fair value of approximately $5.9 billion, based on the Company’s closing stock price on April 25, 2024. In addition, the Company had other adjustments of $3.9 billion for cash and certain assumed liabilities. As part of the NFP Transaction, the Company acquired certain less-than-wholly owned entities, resulting in the recognition of noncontrolling interests, which are described further below.
Aon accounted for its business combinations under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires the Company to measure identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair values as of the acquisition date, with the excess of the consideration transferred over those fair values recorded as goodwill. Determining the fair value of intangible assets acquired requires significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates about future events, which the Company believes are reasonable. Use of different estimates and judgments could produce materially different results. These estimates are refined over a measurement period, not to exceed one year from the acquisition date.

Purchase accounting, including measurement period adjustments, were finalized in the second quarter of 2025. The fair values of consideration transferred, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and redeemable and nonredeemable noncontrolling interests are shown below (in millions):

(2)As of September 30, 2025, the NFP deferred tax liability related to the U.S. has been netted with the Aon deferred tax asset related to the U.S. and presented as a net deferred tax asset on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
(3)Includes Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $283 million and $125 million of Non-current operating lease liabilities.
(4)The fair value of the noncontrolling interests acquired was estimated using a DCF model under the income approach and used estimated financial projections developed by management applying market participant assumptions.
Since the acquisition date through the end of the measurement period in the second quarter of 2025, the Company made measurement period adjustments resulting in a $125 million increase to Intangible assets, a $110 million decrease to Deferred tax liabilities, a $61 million decrease to Other non-current assets, and a $28 million decrease to Other current assets. These adjustments, along with other insignificant adjustments, cumulated in a total decrease of $115 million to Goodwill.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale and Subsequent Event
On September 3, 2025, Aon signed a definitive agreement to sell a significant portion of NFP’s wealth businesses including Wealthspire Advisors, Fiducient Advisors, Newport Private Wealth and related platforms to Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC. Assets and liabilities associated with this disposal group are associated with the Human Capital segment and were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2025. No impairment loss has been recognized in the third quarter of 2025 as the fair value of the disposal group exceeds the carrying amount. Total assets and liabilities for disposal groups classified as held for sale within Other current assets and Other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were $1.3 billion and $166 million, respectively. Of the $1.3 billion total assets classified as held for sale, $754 million relates to intangible assets and $389 million relates to goodwill.
The disposition of the significant majority of NFP’s wealth was completed on October 30, 2025 and total proceeds received on closing was $2.3 billion. Upon the completion of the sale in the fourth quarter, the gain will be recognized within Other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Other Significant Activity

10. Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on Net income was 21.3% and 19.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate on Net income was 20.9% and 22.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the quarter-to-date tax rate was primarily driven by the geographical distribution of income and certain discrete items. The year-to-date tax rate was primarily driven by the geographical distribution of income and certain discrete items, including the tax benefit associated with the sale of certain assets and liabilities and share-based payments partially offset by the unfavorable impact of other discrete items.

11. Shareholders’ Equity
Ordinary Shares
Aon has a share repurchase program authorized by the Company’s Board of Directors (“the Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program was established in April 2012 with $5.0 billion in authorized repurchases, and was increased by $5.0 billion in authorized repurchases in each of November 2014, June 2017, and November 2020, and by $7.5 billion in February 2022 for a total of $27.5 billion in repurchase authorizations.
Under the Repurchase Program, the Company’s class A ordinary shares may be repurchased through the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, from time to time, based on prevailing market conditions, and will be funded from available capital.
The following table summarizes the Company’s share repurchase activity (in millions, except per share data):

13. Derivatives and Hedging
The Company is exposed to market risks, including changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage the risk related to these exposures, the Company enters into various derivative instruments that reduce these risks by creating offsetting exposures. The Company does not enter into derivative transactions for trading or speculative purposes.
Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk when it earns revenues, pays expenses, enters into monetary intercompany transfers or other transactions denominated in a currency that differs from its functional currency. The Company uses foreign exchange derivatives, typically forward contracts, options and cross currency swaps, to reduce its overall exposure to the effects of currency fluctuations on cash flows. These exposures are hedged, on average, for less than two years. These derivatives are
27

accounted for as hedges, and changes in fair value are recorded each period in Other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The Company also uses foreign exchange derivatives, typically forward contracts and options, to economically hedge the currency exposure of the Company’s global liquidity profile, including monetary assets or liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency of an entity, typically on a rolling 90-day basis, but may be for up to one year in the future. These derivatives are not accounted for as hedges, and changes in fair value are recorded each period in Other income (expense) in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

14. Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
Accounting standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:
•Level 1 — observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets;
•Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the use of valuation techniques and the development of assumptions.
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values of the Company’s financial instruments:
Money market funds consist of institutional prime, treasury, and government money market funds. The Company reviews treasury and government money market funds to obtain reasonable assurance that the fund net asset value is $1 per share, and reviews the floating net asset value of institutional prime money market funds for reasonableness.
Equity investments consist of equity securities and equity derivatives valued using the closing stock price on a national securities exchange. Over-the-counter equity derivatives are valued using observable inputs such as underlying prices of the underlying security and volatility. On a sample basis, the Company reviews the listing of Level 1 equity securities in the portfolio, agrees the closing stock prices to a national securities exchange, and independently verifies the observable inputs for Level 2 equity derivatives and securities.
Fixed income investments consist of certain categories of bonds and derivatives. Corporate, government, and agency bonds are valued by pricing vendors who estimate fair value using recently executed transactions and proprietary models based on observable inputs, such as interest rate spreads, yield curves, and credit risk. Asset-backed securities are valued by pricing vendors who estimate fair value using DCF models utilizing observable inputs based on trade and quote activity of securities with similar features. Fixed income derivatives are valued by pricing vendors using observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves. The Company obtains an understanding of the models, inputs, and assumptions used in developing prices provided by its vendors through discussions with the fund managers. The Company independently verifies the observable inputs, as well as assesses assumptions used for reasonableness based on relevant market conditions and internal Company guidelines. If an assumption is deemed unreasonable, based on internal Company guidelines, it is then reviewed by management and the fair value estimate provided by the vendor is adjusted, if deemed appropriate. These adjustments do not occur frequently and historically are not material to the fair value estimates used in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Derivatives are carried at fair value, based upon industry standard valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced pricing inputs, such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, or implied volatility.
Debt is carried at outstanding principal balance, less any unamortized issuance costs, discount or premium. Fair value is based on quoted market prices or estimates using DCF analyses based on current borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.
The following tables present the categorization of the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in millions):

15. Claims, Lawsuits, and Other Contingencies
Legal
Aon and its subsidiaries are subject to numerous claims, tax assessments, lawsuits, and proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business, which frequently include E&O claims. The damages claimed in these matters are or may be substantial, including, in many instances, claims for punitive, treble, or extraordinary damages. While Aon maintains meaningful E&O insurance and other insurance programs to provide protection against certain losses that arise in such matters, Aon has exhausted or materially depleted its coverage under some of the policies that protect the Company and, consequently, is self-insured or materially self-insured for some claims, including coverage from Aon’s self-insurance program. Accruals for these exposures, and related insurance receivables, when applicable, are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and have been recognized in Other general expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income to the extent that losses are deemed probable and are reasonably estimable. These amounts are adjusted from time to time as developments warrant. Matters that are not probable and reasonably estimable are not accrued for in the financial statements.
The Company’s contingencies and exposures are subject to significant uncertainties, and the determination of likelihood of a loss and estimating any such loss can be complex. The Company is therefore, in certain matters, unable to estimate the range of reasonably possible loss. Although management at present believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial position of Aon, legal proceedings are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or other events. Unfavorable resolutions could include substantial monetary or punitive damages imposed on Aon or its subsidiaries. If unfavorable outcomes of these matters were to occur, future results of operations or cash flows for any particular quarterly or annual period could be materially adversely affected. Certain significant legal proceedings involving us or our subsidiaries are described below.
Current Matters
Aon faces legal action arising out of a fatal plane crash in November 2016. Aon U.K. Limited placed an aviation civil liability reinsurance policy for the Bolivian insurer of the airline. After the crash, the insurer determined that there was no coverage
30

under the airline’s insurance policy due to the airline’s breach of various policy conditions. In November 2018, the owner of the aircraft filed a claim in Bolivia against Aon, the airline, the insurer and the insurance broker. The claim is for $16 million plus any liability the owner has to third parties. In November 2019, a federal prosecutor in Brazil filed a public civil action naming three Aon entities as defendants, along with the airline, the insurer and the lead reinsurer. That claim seeks pecuniary damages for families affected by the crash in the sum of $300 million; or, in the alternative, $50 million; or, in the alternative, $25 million; plus “moral damages” of an equivalent sum. Separately, in March 2020, the Brazilian Federal Senate invited Aon to give evidence to a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry in an investigation into the accident. Aon cooperated with that inquiry. In August 2020, 43 individuals (surviving passengers and estates of the deceased) filed a motion in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, seeking permission to commence proceedings against Aon (and the insurer and reinsurers) for claims totaling $844 million. In December 2022, the High Court in England granted an anti-suit injunction, restricting the 43 individuals who previously filed a motion in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami Dade County, Florida, from continuing litigation in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit against Aon. In June 2025, the 43 individuals filed a counterclaim against Aon in the UK seeking damages. The claim is alleged to be governed in the alternative by the laws of three different jurisdictions and asserts damages in the amount of $16.7 million. The claim alleges that certain aspects of the damages have yet to be calculated. Aon believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself against the remaining claims.
Certain of the Company’s clients and counterparties have initiated or indicated that they may initiate legal proceedings against the Company following allegations in July 2023 that fraudulent letters of credit were issued in the name of third-party banks in connection with transactions for which capital was arranged by Vesttoo Ltd. (“Vesttoo”). Vesttoo was one of the third parties that identified capital providers to collateralize insurance and reinsurance obligations of the Company’s clients and counterparties, including in connection with property and casualty insurance, cyber insurance, and collateral protection insurance. In certain transactions in which Vesttoo identified third party capital providers to collateralize reinsurance obligations, including transactions in which the Company or its affiliates provided brokerage or other services, some letters of credit from third party banks are alleged to have been fraudulent. The pending or threatened legal proceedings against the Company by clients and counterparties allege, among other theories of liability, that in certain circumstances the Company failed to comply with its alleged duty to procure appropriate letters of credit. In particular, on November 30, 2023, Clear Blue Insurance Company and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Clear Blue”) filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court against Aon plc and Aon Insurance Managers (Bermuda) Ltd. alleging such claims. Clear Blue and Aon jointly filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice on September 26, 2025. On August 8, 2025, the liquidating trust formed to pursue claims on behalf of the Vesttoo bankruptcy estate filed a complaint in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware against the Company and certain of its subsidiaries, among other parties. The trust’s complaint alleges, among other theories of liability, that Aon is liable for having induced parties into taking on collateral protection insurance risks, notwithstanding the fact that fraudulent letters of credit had been arranged by Vesttoo employees and co-conspirators. Aon believes that it has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend itself against such claims. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recognized actual or anticipated legal settlement expenses in connection with these matters of $197 million, of which a potentially significant amount may be recoverable in future periods. In the third quarter of 2025, certain legal settlement expenses and recoveries were recognized resulting in a $23 million reduction of this amount. Aon has sought and will continue to seek recourse against responsible third parties where appropriate. In addition, in August 2023, joint provisional liquidators were appointed over one of the Company’s subsidiaries in Bermuda with respect to segregated accounts that were impacted by the allegedly fraudulent letters of credit. The joint provisional liquidators were released from their appointment on July 3, 2024. Aon continues to cooperate with regulators in Bermuda, and other regulatory authorities could initiate investigations or proceedings against the Company or third parties.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
The Company provides a variety of guarantees and indemnifications to its customers and others. The maximum potential amount of future payments represents the notional amounts that could become payable under the guarantees and indemnifications if there were a total default by the guaranteed parties, without consideration of possible recoveries under recourse provisions or other methods. These amounts may bear no relationship to the expected future payments, if any, for these guarantees and indemnifications. Any anticipated amounts payable are included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, and are recorded at fair value.
The Company expects that, as prudent business interests dictate, additional guarantees and indemnifications may be issued from time to time.
Guarantee of Registered Securities
On June 22, 2023, Aon plc, Aon Global Limited, Aon Global Holdings plc, Aon Corporation, and Aon North America, Inc., and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), as applicable, entered into supplemental indentures, each dated June 22, 2023, amending each of the following indentures (as amended, supplemented or modified from

time to time) to add for the benefit of the holders of the instruments issued thereunder a full and unconditional guarantee of Aon North America, Inc. thereunder: (i) Second Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 1, 2020, among Aon Corporation, Aon plc, Aon Global Limited, Aon Global Holdings plc and the Trustee (amending and restating the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 2, 2012, amending and restating the Indenture, dated January 13, 1997); (ii) Second Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 1, 2020, among Aon Corporation, Aon plc, Aon Global Limited, Aon Global Holdings plc and the Trustee (amending and restating the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 2, 2012, amending and restating the Indenture, dated September 10, 2010); (iii) Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 1, 2020, among Aon plc, Aon Corporation, Aon Global Limited, Aon Global Holdings plc and the Trustee (amending and restating the Indenture, dated December 12, 2012); (iv) Second Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 1, 2020, among Aon plc, Aon Corporation, Aon Global Limited, Aon Global Holdings plc and the Trustee (amending and restating the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated May 20, 2015, amending and restating the Indenture, dated May 24, 2013); (v) Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 1, 2020, among Aon plc, Aon Corporation, Aon Global Limited, Aon Global Holdings plc and the Trustee (amending and restating the Indenture, dated November 13, 2015); and (vi) Amended and Restated Indenture, dated April 1, 2020, among Aon Corporation, Aon plc, Aon Global Limited, Aon Global Holdings plc and the Trustee (amending and restating the Indenture, dated December 3, 2018).
On February 28, 2024, Aon plc, Aon Corporation, Aon Global Holdings plc, and Aon Global Limited (together with Aon plc, Aon Corporation and Aon Global Holdings, plc, the “Guarantors”), Aon North America, Inc. and the Trustee entered into an indenture and first supplemental indenture, each dated March 1, 2024, to add for the benefit of the holders of the instruments issued thereunder a full and unconditional guarantee by the Guarantors of the obligations of Aon North America, Inc. thereunder.
Letters of Credit
Aon has entered into a number of arrangements whereby the Company’s performance on certain obligations is guaranteed by a third party through the issuance of LOCs. The Company had total LOCs outstanding of approximately $125 million at September 30, 2025, and $124 million at December 31, 2024. These LOCs cover the beneficiaries related to certain of Aon’s U.S. and Canadian secure non-qualified pension plan schemes, reinsurance obligations related to Aon’s own E&O liability insurance program, and secure deductible retentions for Aon’s own workers compensation program. The Company has also obtained LOCs to cover contingent payments for taxes and other business obligations to third parties, and other guarantees for miscellaneous purposes at its international subsidiaries.
Premium Payments
The Company has certain contractual contingent guarantees for premium payments owed by clients to certain insurance companies. The maximum exposure with respect to such contractual contingent guarantees was approximately $143 million at September 30, 2025 compared to $162 million at December 31, 2024.
16. Segment Information
Reportable segments were determined using a management approach. They are consistent with how the CODM assesses the performance of the Company and allocates resources based on two segments: Risk Capital and Human Capital. This segmentation allows the CODM, who is our Chief Executive Officer and President, to align the assessment of performance and allocation of resources, based on segment operating income and operating margin, with how the Company addresses client need, accelerating its Aon United strategy through growth in Risk Capital and Human Capital and maximizing value for Aon and its shareholders.
Risk Capital supports clients through its Commercial Risk and Reinsurance solution lines. Commercial Risk includes insurance and specialty brokerage, global risk consulting, captives management, and Affinity programs. Reinsurance includes treaty reinsurance, facultative reinsurance, the Strategy and Technology Group, and capital markets.
Human Capital supports clients through its Health and Wealth solution lines. Health includes consulting and brokerage, consumer benefits solutions, and talent advisory services. Wealth includes retirement consulting, pension administration, and investments consulting. Refer to Note 3 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” for information on revenue by principal service line.
The Company does not present assets by reportable segment and this information is not used by the CODM to assess the performance of, or allocate resources to, the Company’s reportable segments. As such, segment assets are not provided to the CODM.

Revenue
Reportable segment revenue includes inter-segment revenue of less than $1 million and $5 million, respectively, for Risk Capital and $3 million and $7 million, respectively, for Human Capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to less than $1 million and $16 million, respectively, for Risk Capital and $3 million and $10 million, respectively, for Human Capital for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. This inter-segment revenue is eliminated as a Corporate adjustment to reconcile to the Company's Consolidated Total revenue.
Segment Operating Expenses
The Company’s segment operating expenses are generally attributed to the function of the business. Segment expenses exclude governance costs, post-retirement benefits, and other costs that are not directly attributable to a specific segment. These expenses are considered Corporate/Eliminations.
Non-Operating Income (Expenses)
The Company’s non-operating income (expenses) primarily consist of Interest income, Interest expense, and Other income (expense) which are not allocated to our reportable segments, as the CODM assesses performance based on operating income results. Interest income represents income earned, net of expense, on operating cash balances, including our multi-currency cash pool, and other income-producing investments. Interest income does not include interest earned on funds held on behalf of clients. If interest expense on these assets exceeds interest income for the period, the net amount is reported as interest expense for both the quarterly and year-to-date periods. Interest expense represents the cost of debt obligations and net interest expense on operating cash balances and other income-producing investments. Other income (expense) consists of equity earnings, realized gains or losses on the sale of investments, gains on the disposal of businesses, gains or losses on derivatives, and gains or losses on foreign currency remeasurement.

Financial Results
The following is a summary of our third quarter of 2025 financial results.
•Revenue increased $276 million, or 7%, to $4.0 billion compared to the prior year period. The increase reflects 7% organic revenue growth and a 1% favorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by a 1% unfavorable impact from acquisitions, divestitures and other items. Risk Capital revenue increased $170 million, or 7%, to $2.5 billion and Human Capital revenue increased $106 million, or 8%, to $1.5 billion compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, Revenue increased $1.3 billion, or 12%, to $12.9 billion compared to the prior year period. The increase reflects the contribution from NFP and 6% organic revenue growth. Risk Capital revenue increased $602 million, or 8%, to $8.6 billion and Human Capital revenue increased $714 million, or 20%, to $4.3 billion compared to the prior year period.
•Operating expenses increased $83 million, or 3%, to $3.2 billion compared to the prior year period due primarily to an increase in expense associated with 7% organic revenue growth and an unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially offset by lower Accelerating Aon United program expenses, $35 million of net restructuring savings and a reduction in integration costs related to NFP. Risk Capital operating expenses increased $146 million, or 8%, to $1.9 billion and Human Capital operating expenses decreased $24 million, or 2%, to $1.1 billion compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, Operating expenses increased $938 million, or 11%, to $9.7 billion compared to the prior year period due primarily to the inclusion of NFP’s ongoing expenses, an increase in intangible asset amortization associated with the NFP acquisition and other acquisitions completed in the year, an increase in expense associated with 6% organic revenue growth and investments in long-term growth, partially offset by $110 million of net restructuring savings and transaction costs incurred in the prior year period. Risk Capital operating expenses increased $486 million, or 9%, to $5.9 billion and Human Capital operating expenses increased $541 million, or 19%, to $3.5 billion compared to the prior year period.
•Operating margin increased to 20.4% from 16.7% in the prior year period, driven by organic revenue growth of 7% and $35 million of net restructuring savings, partially offset by an increase in operating expenses as previously described. Risk Capital operating margin decreased to 23.2% from 23.8% and Human Capital operating margin increased to 22.5% from 14.8% compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, Operating margin increased to 24.3% from 23.8% in the prior year period, driven primarily by organic revenue growth of 6% and $110 million of net restructuring savings, partially offset by the inclusion of ongoing operating expenses from NFP and an increase in operating expenses related to organic growth as previously described. Risk Capital operating margin decreased to 30.8% from 31.7% and Human Capital operating margin increased to 19.8% from 18.9% compared to the prior year period.
•Due to the factors set forth above, Net income increased $115 million, or 32%, to $470 million compared to the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, Net income increased $60 million, or 3%, to $2.0 billion compared to the prior year period.
•Diluted earnings per share was $2.11 compared to $1.57 per share for the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, Diluted earnings per share was $9.21 compared to $9.20 per share for the prior year period.
•Cash flows provided by operating activities was $2.1 billion for the first nine months of 2025, an increase of $249 million, or 14%, from $1.8 billion in the prior year period, primarily due to strong adjusted operating income growth and lower NFP-related transaction costs, partially offset by higher payments related to incentive compensation, interest and restructuring.

We focus on four key metrics that are not presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP that we communicate to shareholders: organic revenue growth, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow. These non-GAAP metrics should be viewed in addition to, not instead of, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The following is our measure of performance against these four metrics for the third quarter of 2025:
•Organic revenue growth, a non-GAAP measure defined under the caption “Review of Consolidated Results — Organic Revenue Growth,” was 7% for the third quarter of 2025 and 6% for the first nine months of 2025, driven by net new business and ongoing strong retention.
•Adjusted operating margin, a non-GAAP measure defined under the caption “Review of Consolidated Results — Adjusted Operating Margin,” was 26.3% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to 24.6% in the prior year period. The increase in adjusted operating margin primarily reflects 7% organic revenue growth and $35 million of net restructuring savings, partially offset by increased operating expenses. Risk Capital adjusted operating margin decreased to 26.2% compared to 27.5% in the prior year period. Human Capital adjusted operating margin increased to 30.5% compared to 25.2% in the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, adjusted operating margin was 31.3% compared to 30.8% for the prior year period. The increase primarily reflects 6% organic revenue growth and $110 million of net restructuring savings. Risk Capital adjusted operating margin decreased to 34.4% compared to 34.8% in the prior year period. Human Capital adjusted operating margin increased to 28.8% compared to 26.6% in the prior year period.
•Adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure defined under the caption “Review of Consolidated Results — Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share,” was $3.05 per share for the third quarter of 2025, compared to $2.72 per share for the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $12.22 per share, compared to $11.16 per share for the prior year period.
•Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure defined under the caption “Review of Consolidated Results — Free Cash Flow,” was $1.9 billion in the first nine months of 2025, an increase of $223 million, or 13%, from $1.7 billion in the prior year period, reflecting a $249 million increase in Cash flows from operations, primarily driven by strong adjusted operating income growth and lower NFP-related transaction costs, partially offset by higher payments related to incentive compensation, interest, and restructuring, and a $26 million increase in capital expenditures.
The current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment is subject to a number of uncertainties, including geopolitical conflicts, tariffs or changes in trade policies, capital markets volatility, and inflation. These and other factors have contributed and may continue to contribute to slower or negative economic growth and may create a challenging business environment for our clients. While we remain confident in the resilience and strength of our business and financial model, due to the global nature of our business, the current macroeconomic and geopolitical environment could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations. For more information about these risks, please see “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Management of corporate sustainability risks – including those related to ESG matters – is an increasingly important priority for our clients. At Aon, helping clients manage risk - including those relating to corporate sustainability and ESG - is at the core of what we do. We offer a wide range of risk assessment, consulting, and advisory solutions, many of which are significant parts of our core business offerings, designed to address and manage corporate sustainability and ESG issues for clients, and to enable our clients to create more sustainable value.

The decrease was due to gains related to the sale of businesses in the prior year period and and an increase in non-cash pension expense, partially offset by the favorable impact of exchange rates on the remeasurement of assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies . For the first nine months of 2025, Other income was $33 million compared to Other income of $346 million for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease was primarily related to gains related to the sale of a businesses in the prior year period.
Income before Income Taxes
Income before income taxes for the third quarter of 2025 was $597 million, a 33% increase from $449 million in the prior year period. For the first nine months of 2025, Income before income taxes was $2.6 billion, a 1% decrease compared to the first nine months of 2024.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate on Net income was 21.3% and 19.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate on Net income was 20.9% and 22.8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the quarter-to-date tax rate was primarily driven by the geographical distribution of income and certain discrete items. The year-to-date tax rate was primarily driven by the geographical distribution of income and certain discrete items, including the tax benefit associated with the sale of certain assets and liabilities and share-based payments partially offset by the unfavorable impact of other discrete items.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the quarter-to-date tax rate was primarily driven by the geographical distribution of income and certain discrete items. The year-to-date tax rate was primarily driven by the geographical distribution of income and certain discrete items, including the favorable impacts of share-based payments offset by the unfavorable impact of other discrete items.
Ireland, the U.K., Singapore, and many E.U. member states, among others, have enacted legislation to implement the global minimum tax that is generally consistent with the OECD’s proposed Pillar Two tax regime. There remains significant uncertainty, however, as to how Pillar Two will ultimately apply to the Company. The OECD has issued numerous guidance documents attempting to change how Pillar Two Tax operates, subject to enactment by each implementing country, and the OECD may issue additional guidance in the future. The Company is actively monitoring developments in this area and continues to evaluate the guidance and the potential impacts this may have on its global effective tax rate, results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition in 2025 and future periods.
The Company continues to analyze the impacts of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act but does not anticipate a material impact on its global effective tax rate, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition in 2025 and future periods.
Net Income Attributable to Aon Shareholders
Net income attributable to Aon shareholders for the third quarter of 2025 increased to $458 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, from $343 million, or $1.57 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net income attributable to Aon shareholders for the first nine months of 2025 increased to $2.0 billion, or $9.21 per diluted share, from $1.9 billion, or $9.20 per diluted share, in the prior year period.
Non-GAAP Metrics
In our discussion of consolidated results, we sometimes refer to certain non-GAAP supplemental information derived from consolidated financial information specifically related to organic revenue growth, adjusted operating margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share, adjusted net income attributable to Aon shareholders, adjusted net income per share, adjusted other income (expense), adjusted effective tax rate, free cash flow, and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on operating results. Management believes that these measures are important to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons and that this supplemental information is helpful to investors. Management also uses these measures to assess operating performance and performance for compensation. This non-GAAP supplemental information should be viewed in addition to, not instead of, our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Organic Revenue Growth
We use supplemental information related to Organic revenue growth to help us and our investors evaluate business growth from ongoing operations. Organic revenue growth is a non-GAAP measure that includes the impact of certain intercompany
41

activity and excludes the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates, fiduciary investment income, acquisitions (provided that organic revenue growth includes organic growth of an acquired business as calculated assuming that the acquired business was part of the combined company for the same proportion of the relevant prior year period), divestitures (including held for sale disposal groups, which are adjusted from Organic revenue growth upon classification as held for sale, if any), transfers between revenue lines, and gains or losses on derivatives accounted for as hedges. This supplemental information related to organic revenue growth represents a measure not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, not instead of, Total revenue in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Industry peers provide similar supplemental information about their revenue performance, although they may not make identical adjustments. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the reported Total revenue is as follows (in millions, except percentages):

Adjusted Operating Margin
We use adjusted operating margin as a non-GAAP measure of our core operating performance of the Company. Adjusted operating margin excludes the impact of certain items, as listed below, because management does not believe these expenses are the best indicators of our core operating performance. This supplemental information related to adjusted operating margin represents a measure not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, not instead of, Operating margin in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)Total charges are expected to include technology-related costs to facilitate streamlining and simplifying operations, headcount reduction costs, and costs associated with asset impairments, including real estate consolidation and technology costs.
(3)In the fourth quarter of 2023, Aon recognized a $197 million charge in connection with transactions for which capital was arranged by a third party, Vesttoo Ltd., and in the third quarter of 2025, certain legal settlement expenses and recoveries were recognized resulting in a $23 million reduction of expense within the Risk Capital segment.
(4)Transaction costs include advisory, legal, accounting, regulatory, and other professional or consulting fees required to complete the NFP Transaction. No transaction costs were recognized for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025. Less than $1 million of transaction costs were recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, $90 million of transaction costs were recognized in Total operating expenses and $6 million were recognized in Other income (expense) related to the extinguishment of acquired NFP debt.
(5)The NFP Transaction has and will continue to result in certain non-recurring integration costs associated with colleague severance, retention bonus awards, termination of redundant third-party agreements, costs associated with legal entity rationalization, and professional or consulting fees related to alignment of management processes and controls, as well as costs associated with the assessment of NFP information technology environment and security protocols. Aon incurred $10 million and $35 million of integration costs in the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $66 million and $55 million of integration costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Risk Capital Adjusted operating income increased $13 million, or 2%, to $661 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to organic revenue growth of 7% in Commercial Risk Solutions and 8% in Reinsurance Solutions, partially offset by increased expenses and investments in long-term growth. Human Capital Adjusted operating income increased $105 million, or 30%, to $450 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to organic revenue growth of 6% in Health Solutions and 5% in Wealth Solutions and decreased expenses, partially offset by investments in long-term growth. For the first nine months of 2025, Risk Capital Adjusted operating income increased $174 million, or 6%, to $3.0 billion. The increase was primarily due to organic revenue growth of 6% in Commercial Risk Solutions, 5% in Reinsurance Solutions, and the impact of NFP, partially offset by increased expenses and investments in long-term growth. Human Capital Adjusted operating income increased $284 million, or 30%, to $1.2 billion for the first nine months of 2025. The increase was
43

primarily due to organic revenue growth of 6% in Health Solutions, 5% in Wealth Solutions, and the impact of NFP, partially offset by increased expenses and investments in long-term growth.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings per Share
We use adjusted diluted earnings per share as a non-GAAP measure of our core operating performance. Adjusted diluted earnings per share excludes the impact of certain items, as listed below, because management does not believe these expenses are the best indicators of our core operating performance. This supplemental information related to adjusted diluted earnings per share represents a measure not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, not instead of, diluted earnings per share in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Free Cash Flow
We use free cash flow, defined as cash flows provided by operations less capital expenditures, as a non-GAAP measure of our core operating performance and cash-generating capabilities of our business operations. This supplemental information related to free cash flow represents a measure not in accordance with U.S. GAAP and should be viewed in addition to, not instead of, Cash provided by operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Management believes the supplemental information related to free cash flow is helpful to investors when evaluating our operating performance and liquidity results. The use of this non-GAAP measure does not imply or represent the residual cash flow for discretionary expenditures. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to the reported Cash provided by operating activities is as follows (in millions):

Impact of Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Fluctuations
Because we conduct business in over 120 countries, foreign exchange rate fluctuations may have a significant impact on our business. Foreign exchange rate movements may be significant and may distort true period-to-period comparisons of changes in revenue or pretax income. Therefore, to give financial statement users meaningful information about our operations, we have provided an illustration of the comparable impact of foreign currency exchange rates on our financial results. The methodology used to calculate this comparable impact isolates the impact of the change in currencies between periods by hypothetically translating the prior year quarter’s revenue, expenses, and net income using the current quarter’s foreign currency exchange rates.
Currency fluctuations had a de minimis impact and an unfavorable impact of $0.12 on net income per diluted share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, if prior year period results were translated at current period foreign exchange rates. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $0.02 and an unfavorable impact of $0.05 on net income per diluted share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, if 2023 results were translated at 2024 rates.
Currency fluctuations had a favorable impact of $0.02 and an unfavorable impact of $0.11 on adjusted diluted earnings per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, if prior year period results were translated at current period foreign exchange rates. Currency fluctuations had an unfavorable impact of $0.02 and an unfavorable impact of $0.05 on adjusted diluted earnings per share during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, if 2023 results were translated at 2024 rates. These translations are performed for comparative and illustrative purposes only and do not impact the accounting policies or practices for amounts included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
Liquidity
Executive Summary
We believe that our balance sheet and strong cash flow provide us with adequate liquidity. Our primary sources of liquidity in the near-term include cash flows provided by operations, available cash reserves, and divestiture proceeds; primary sources of liquidity in the long-term include cash flows provided by operations, debt capacity available under our credit facilities, and capital markets. Our primary uses of liquidity are operating expenses and investments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, share repurchases, pension obligations, shareholder dividends, and Accelerating Aon United Program cash charges. We believe that cash flows from operations, available credit facilities, available cash reserves, and the capital markets will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including principal and interest payments on debt obligations, capital expenditures, pension contributions, and anticipated working capital requirements in the next twelve months and over the long-term.
Cash on our balance sheet includes funds available for general corporate purposes, as well as amounts restricted as to their use. Funds held on behalf of clients in a fiduciary capacity are segregated and shown together with uncollected insurance premiums in Fiduciary assets in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, with a corresponding amount in Fiduciary liabilities.
In our capacity as an insurance broker or agent, we collect premiums from insureds and, after deducting our commission, remit the premiums to the respective insurance underwriters. We also collect claims or refunds from underwriters on behalf of
46

insureds, which are then returned to the insureds. Unremitted insurance premiums and claims are held by us in a fiduciary capacity. The levels of funds held on behalf of clients and liabilities can fluctuate significantly depending on when we collect the premiums, claims, and refunds, make payments to underwriters and insureds, and collect funds from clients and make payments on their behalf, and upon the impact of foreign currency movements. Funds held on behalf of clients, because of their nature, are generally invested in highly liquid securities with highly rated, credit-worthy financial institutions. Fiduciary assets include funds held on behalf of clients of $8.4 billion and $7.2 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and fiduciary receivables of $10.4 billion and $10.3 billion at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. While we earn investment income on the funds held in cash and money market funds, the funds cannot be used for general corporate purposes.
We maintain a multi-currency cash pool with a third-party bank in which various Aon entities participate. Individual Aon entities are permitted to overdraw on their individual accounts provided the overall global balance does not fall below zero. At September 30, 2025, some Aon entities had negative cash balances; however, the overall balance was positive. Entities with a negative cash pool position incur interest expense, while those with a positive position earn interest income. Interest rates are determined by local market conditions and vary by currency. For the period, if interest expense on negative cash pool balances exceeds interest income associated with positive cash pool balances, as well as other income-producing assets, the net amount is reported as interest expense for both the quarterly and year-to-date periods.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $2.1 billion, an increase of $249 million compared to $1.8 billion of Cash flows provided by operating activities in the prior year period. This amount represents Net income reported, generally adjusted for gains from sales of businesses, losses from sales of businesses, share-based compensation expense, depreciation expense, amortization and impairments, and other non-cash income and expenses, including pension settlement charges. Adjustments also include changes in working capital that relate primarily to the timing of payments of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, collection of receivables, and payments for Accelerating Aon United Program expenses.
Pension Contributions
Pension contributions were $80 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $43 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. For the remainder of 2025, we expect to contribute approximately $8 million in cash to our pension plans, including contributions to non-U.S. pension plans, which are subject to changes in foreign exchange rates.

Accelerating Aon United Program Expenses
In the third quarter of 2023, we initiated a three-year restructuring program called the Accelerating Aon United Program with the purpose of streamlining our technology infrastructure, optimizing our leadership structure and resource alignment, and reducing the real estate footprint to align to our hybrid working strategy. The Program includes technology-related costs to facilitate streamlining and simplifying operations, headcount reduction costs, and costs associated with asset impairments, including real estate consolidation and technology costs.
Program charges are recognized within the Program’s expenses on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and consists of the following cost activities:
•Technology and other – includes costs associated with actions taken to rationalize certain applications and to optimize technology across the Company. These costs may include contract termination fees and other non-capitalizable costs associated with Program initiatives, which include professional service fees.
•Workforce optimization – includes costs associated with headcount reduction and other separation-related costs.
•Asset impairments – includes non-cash costs associated with impairment of assets, as they are identified, including ROU lease assets, leasehold improvements, and other capitalized assets no longer providing economic benefit.
The changes in the Company’s liabilities for the Program as of September 30, 2025 are as follows (in millions):

The Program is currently expected to result in cumulative costs of $1.0 billion, consisting of approximately $0.9 billion of cash charges and approximately $0.1 billion of non-cash charges. Over the life of the program, our Risk Capital segment is expected to incur approximately $230 million of charges, while our Human Capital segment is expected to incur approximately $60 million of charges, with the remaining charges relating to corporate expenses. The Program is estimated to generate annualized expense savings of approximately $350 million by the end of 2026, largely benefiting Compensation and benefits, Information technology, and Premises on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, total Program costs incurred were $32 million and $236 million, respectively. The Company expects to continue to review the implementation of elements of the Program throughout the course of the Program and, therefore, there may be changes to expected timing, estimates of expected costs and related savings. The Company realized an additional $35 million and $110 million of expense savings in the first three and nine months of 2025, respectively, from Program actions, the majority of which were recognized within Compensation and benefits on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used for investing activities were $362 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $1.9 billion compared to $2.3 billion of Cash flows used for investing activities in the prior year period. Generally, the primary drivers of cash flows used for investing activities are acquisition of businesses, purchases of short-term investments, capital expenditures, and payments for investments. Generally, the primary drivers of cash flows provided by investing activities are sales of businesses, including collection of deferred consideration in connection with prior year business divestitures, sales of short-term investments, and proceeds from investments. The gains and losses corresponding to cash flows provided by proceeds from investments and used for payments for investments are primarily recognized in Other income (expense) in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Short-term Investments
Short-term investments decreased $12 million to $207 million at September 30, 2025 compared to December 31, 2024. The majority of our investments carried at fair value are money market funds. These money market funds are held throughout the world with various financial institutions. We are not aware of any market liquidity issues that would materially impact the fair value of these investments.
Acquisitions and Dispositions of Businesses
During the first nine months of 2025, we completed fourteen acquisitions, eight within Risk Capital and six within Human Capital. Cash consideration, net of cash and funds held on behalf of clients acquired, was $276 million, which relates to cash consideration paid in 2025 for current year acquisitions. The majority of cash consideration for the Griffiths & Armour acquisition, completed in the first quarter of 2025, was recognized as a cash outflow in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the first nine months of 2024, we completed sixteen acquisitions, eight within Risk Capital and eight within Human Capital. Cash consideration, net of cash and funds held on behalf of clients acquired, was $3.0 billion, which includes $4 million related to acquisitions completed in 2023.
During the first nine months of 2025, we completed three dispositions, one within Risk Capital and two within Human Capital, for an insignificant cash flow impact. During the first nine months of 2024, we completed five dispositions, three within Risk Capital and two within Human Capital, for $602 million, net of cash and funds held on behalf of clients. During the first nine months of 2025 and 2024, a $108 million and $84 million gain was recognized, respectively, related to the deferred consideration earned for the 2017 sale of the benefits administration and business process outsourcing business. Other than this deferred consideration, there was a $5 million cash flow impact during the first nine months of 2025 related to dispositions that occurred in prior periods.
Capital Expenditures
Our additions to fixed assets including capitalized software, amounted to $189 million and $163 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, which primarily relate to new build out and the refurbishing of office facilities, software development costs, and computer equipment purchases. In the current period, we continue to support certain technology projects to drive long-term growth and real estate projects to align with our Smart Working strategy, including projects related to our AAU restructuring program.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used for financing activities were $1.1 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $2.7 billion compared to $1.6 billion of Cash flows provided by financing activities in the prior year period. Generally, the primary drivers of cash flow provided by financing activities are issuances of debt, changes in net fiduciary liabilities, and proceeds from issuance of shares. Generally, the primary drivers of cash flows used for financing activities are repayments of debt, share repurchases, cash paid for employee taxes on withholding shares, dividends paid to shareholders, transactions with noncontrolling interests, and other financing activities, such as payments for deferred consideration in connection with prior year business acquisitions.
Share Repurchase Program
We have a share repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors. The Repurchase Program was established in April 2012 with $5.0 billion in authorized repurchases, and was increased by $5.0 billion in authorized repurchases in each of November 2014, June 2017, and November 2020, and by $7.5 billion in February 2022 for a total of $27.5 billion in repurchase authorizations.
The following table summarizes our share repurchase activity (in millions, except per share data):

In May 2025, Aon Global Limited’s €500 million ($585 million at September 30, 2025 exchange rates) 2.875% Senior Notes due May 2026 were classified as Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as the date of maturity is in less than one year. The Company expects to use cash flow from operations and available cash on hand to repay these Senior Notes.
In December 2024, Aon Global Limited’s $750 million 3.875% Senior Notes due December 2025 were classified as Short-term debt and current portion of long-term debt in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as the date of maturity is in less than one year. The Company expects to use cash flow from operations and available cash on hand to repay these Senior Notes.
In June 2024, Aon Global Limited’s $600 million 3.500% Senior Notes matured and were repaid in full.
On April 25, 2024, Aon North America, Inc. drew its $2 billion delayed draw term loan and used proceeds, together with the proceeds of the notes issued on March 1, 2024 described below, to pay a portion of cash consideration in connection with the NFP Transaction, to repay certain debt of NFP, and to pay related fees and expenses. The term loan was set to mature on April 24, 2027 and was prepayable at any time. As of September 30, 2025, Aon North America, Inc. repaid $1.6 billion of the outstanding balance and the remaining outstanding balance was $400 million. On October 31, 2025, Aon North America, Inc. repaid the remaining $400 million outstanding balance.
On April 2, 2024, Aon plc announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Randolph Acquisition Corp., commenced cash tender offers for any and all of the outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2028, 4.875% Senior Secured Notes due 2028, 7.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 and 8.500% Senior Secured Notes due 2031, each issued by NFP Corp. (together, the “NFP Notes”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated as of April 2, 2024. The total amount tendered pursuant to the tender offers was approximately $3.3 billion, excluding premiums. On April 26, 2024, Randolph Acquisition Corp. purchased those NFP Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to April 15, 2024, effecting the early settlement of the offers (the “Early Settlement”). In addition, on April 16, 2024, NFP Corp. delivered notices of redemption of all NFP Notes not validly tendered pursuant to the offers and purchased at the Early Settlement, at a purchase price equal to the price paid to holders of the NFP Notes in connection with the Early Settlement, with a redemption date of April 26, 2024. As a result of the Early Settlement of the offers and the related redemption which occurred on April 26, 2024, no NFP Notes remain outstanding. Aon plc incurred $6 million of debt extinguishment charges in the second quarter of 2024 related to costs related to the NFP Transaction.
On March 1, 2024, Aon North America, Inc. issued $600 million 5.125% Senior Notes due in March 2027, $1 billion 5.150% Senior Notes due in March 2029, $650 million 5.300% Senior Notes due in March 2031, $1.75 billion 5.450% Senior Notes due in March 2034, and $2 billion 5.750% Senior Notes due in March 2054, totaling to an aggregate amount of $6 billion. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the offering for general corporate purposes, including a portion of which was used to pay a portion of the cash consideration in connection with the acquisition of NFP, to repay certain debt of NFP and to pay related fees and expenses.
Other Liquidity Matters
Distributable Profits
We are required under Irish law to have available “distributable profits” to make share repurchases or pay dividends to shareholders. Distributable profits are created through the earnings of the Irish parent company and, among other methods, through intercompany dividends or a reduction in share capital approved by the High Court of Ireland. Distributable profits are not linked to a U.S. GAAP reported amount (e.g., Accumulated deficit). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had distributable profits in excess of $30.5 billion and $29.7 billion, respectively. We believe that we will have sufficient distributable profits for the foreseeable future.
50

Revolving Credit Facilities
We expect cash generated by operations for 2025 to be sufficient to service our debt and contractual obligations, finance capital expenditures, and continue to pay dividends to our shareholders. Although cash from operations is expected to be sufficient to service these activities, we have the ability to access the commercial paper markets or borrow under our credit facilities to accommodate any timing differences in cash flows. Additionally, under current market conditions, we believe that we could access capital markets to obtain debt financing for longer-term funding, if needed.
As of September 30, 2025, we had two primary committed credit facilities outstanding: a $1.0 billion multi-currency U.S. credit facility expiring in September 2027 and a $1.0 billion multi-currency U.S. credit facility expiring in October 2028. In aggregate, these two facilities provide $2.0 billion in available credit.
Each of these primary committed credit facilities and the delayed draw term loan includes customary representations, warranties, and covenants, including financial covenants that require us to maintain specified ratios of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense and consolidated debt to adjusted consolidated EBITDA, in each case, tested quarterly. We did not have borrowings under either of these primary committed credit facilities as of September 30, 2025 or December 31, 2024. Additionally, we are in compliance with the financial covenants and all other covenants contained therein during the rolling 12 months ended September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Disposal Definitive Agreement and Subsequent Event
On September 3, 2025, Aon signed a definitive agreement to sell a significant majority of NFP’s wealth business including Wealthspire Advisors, Fiducient Advisors, Newport Private Wealth and related platforms to Madison Dearborn Partners, LLC and this disposition was completed on October 30, 2025 and total proceeds received on closing were $2.3 billion. Upon the completion of the sale in the fourth quarter, the gain will be recognized within Other income (expense) on the Consolidated Statement of Income.
Shelf Registration Statement
On June 22, 2023, we filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC, registering the offer and sale from time to time of an indeterminate amount of, among other securities, debt securities, preference shares, class A ordinary shares and convertible securities. Our ability to access the market as a source of liquidity is dependent on investor demand, market conditions, and other factors.

Letters of Credit and Other Guarantees
We have entered into a number of arrangements whereby our performance on certain obligations is guaranteed by a third party through the issuance of a letter of credit. We had total LOCs outstanding of approximately $125 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $124 million at December 31, 2024. These LOCs cover the beneficiaries related to certain of our U.S. and Canadian secure non-qualified pension plan schemes, reinsurance obligations related to our own E&O liability insurance program, and secure deductible retentions for our own workers’ compensation program. We also have obtained LOCs to cover contingent payments for taxes and other business obligations to third parties, and other guarantees for miscellaneous purposes at our international subsidiaries.
We have certain contractual contingent guarantees for premium payments owed by clients to certain insurance companies. The maximum exposure with respect to such contractual contingent guarantees was approximately $143 million at September 30, 2025, compared to $162 million at December 31, 2024.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies, which include revenue recognition, pensions, goodwill and other intangible assets, contingencies, share-based payments, income taxes, Accelerating Aon United restructuring charges, and business combinations, as discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Note 2 “Accounting Principles and Practices” to our Financial Statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report contains a discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements and Securities and Exchange Commission final rules and their future potential impact on our financial results or disclosures, if determinable.
Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to potential fluctuations in earnings, cash flows, and the fair values of certain of our assets and liabilities due to changes in interest rates and foreign exchange rates. To manage the risk from these exposures, we enter into a variety of derivative instruments. We do not enter into derivatives or financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
The following discussion describes our specific exposures and the strategies we use to manage these risks. Refer to Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Practices” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for a discussion of our accounting policies for financial instruments and derivatives.
Foreign Exchange Risk
We are subject to foreign exchange rate risk. Our primary exposures include exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro, the British pound, the Canadian dollar, the Australian dollar, the Indian rupee, and the Japanese yen. We use over-the-counter options and forward contracts to reduce the impact of foreign currency risk to our financial statements.
Additionally, some of our non-U.S. subsidiaries receive revenue in currencies that differ from their functional currencies. Most significantly, our U.K. subsidiaries earn a portion of their revenue in U.S. dollars, euro, and Japanese yen, but most of their expenses are incurred in British pounds. We generally hedge up to 45% of our U.K. subsidiaries’ expected exposures to transactions denominated in U.S. dollar, euro, and Japanese yen. We generally do not hedge exposures beyond two years.
We also use forward and option contracts to economically hedge foreign exchange risk associated with monetary balance sheet exposures, such as intercompany notes and current assets and liabilities that are denominated in a non-functional currency and are subject to remeasurement.
54

The translated value of revenues and expenses from our international brokerage operations are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. A strengthening U.S. dollar has an adverse impact on our Net income attributable to shareholders, which are reported in U.S. dollars in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. If we were to hypothetically translate prior year results at current quarter exchange rates, diluted earnings per share would have a de minimis comparable impact and an unfavorable $0.12 comparable impact during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Further, adjusted diluted earnings per share, a non-GAAP measure as defined and reconciled under the caption “Review of Consolidated Results — Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share,” would have a favorable $0.02 comparable impact and an unfavorable $0.11 comparable impact during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, if we were to hypothetically translate prior year results at current quarter exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our fiduciary investment income is affected by changes in international and domestic short-term interest rates. We monitor our net exposure to short-term interest rates and, as appropriate, hedge our exposure with various derivative financial instruments. This activity primarily relates to brokerage funds held on behalf of clients in the U.S. and in continental Europe. A decrease in global short-term interest rates adversely affects our fiduciary investment income.
Item 4.   Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. We have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of September 30, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as of September 30, 2025, were effective at a reasonable assurance level such that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The risk factors set forth in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 reflect certain risks associated with existing and potential lines of business and contain “forward-looking statements” as discussed in “Information Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” elsewhere in this report. Readers should consider them in addition to the other information contained in this report as our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected if any of these risks actually occur.
