Aon plc reported broad-based growth for the three months ended September 30, 2026, while the pending USI acquisition remained a central balance-sheet event. The company released its results on Wednesday, October 28.

According to Aon's results release, organic revenue growth reached 6 percent in the quarter. Commercial Risk and Reinsurance each grew 7 percent organically, Health Solutions advanced 6 percent and Wealth Solutions increased 4 percent on the same basis.

Growth offsets portfolio changes

Total revenue rose 3 percent to 4.101 billion US dollars. Aon said the organic increase was partly offset by a 3 percent unfavorable impact, primarily from divestitures. Risk Capital revenue increased 6 percent to 2.7 billion US dollars, while Human Capital revenue fell 4 percent to 1.4 billion US dollars.

Adjusted operating income increased 5 percent to 1.106 billion US dollars, and adjusted operating margin expanded 70 basis points to 27.0 percent. The adjusted figures exclude specified items and are therefore not directly comparable with reported operating income, which declined 1 percent to 809 million US dollars.

USI close raises leverage focus

Aon expects the USI acquisition to close in the fourth quarter of 2026. Management said it will prioritize debt repayment after the transaction, with a path toward a 2.8x to 3.0x leverage objective in approximately 24 months. The release also said the company incurred 25 million US dollars in USI transaction costs during the quarter.
