Brown, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director of Brown & Brown, participated in the company's Q3 2025 earnings conference call on October 28, 2025. During the call, he discussed the company's quarterly performance, noting a "really good quarter" with strong margins, cash flow conversion, and successful integration of new teammates, bringing the global team to over 23,000. He also addressed market conditions, stating that the company has consistently described retail as a low-to-mid single-digit organic growth business in a steady-state economy over the past 16 years. Regarding reinsurance, he said he expected rates to decline by 5 to 15 percent, which could translate into similar or higher decreases in admitted primary business or excess and surplus (E&S) lines. He also commented on potential shifts of business from E&S back to admitted markets, acknowledging some movement but suggesting that growth in the E&S market would likely outpace any such shift.
