COMPANY RECORD FOURTH-QUARTER EARNINGS OF $47.2 MILLION AND 2013 NET INCOME GROWTH OF 18.0%
(Daytona Beach and Tampa, Florida) . . . Brown & Brown, Inc. (NYSE:BRO) today announced its preliminary, unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter of 2013.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $47,225,000, or $0.32 per share, compared with $42,637,000, or $0.29 per share for the same quarter of 2012, an increase of 10.8%. Total revenue for the fourth quarter was $343,165,000, compared with 2012 fourth-quarter revenue of $302,830,000, an increase of 13.3%.
Total revenue for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 was $1,363,279,000, compared with total revenue for the same period of 2012 of $1,200,032,000, an increase of 13.6%. Net income for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2013 was $217,112,000, or $1.48 per share, compared with $184,045,000, or $1.26 per share for the same period of 2012, an increase of 18.0%.
J. Powell Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, noted, “We are very pleased that we grew our net income 18.0% in 2013. Our Colonial Claims subsidiary, which adjusts flood claims, had core commissions and fees of $1.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2013, but had $7.4 million of core commissions and fees in the fourth quarter of 2012 as a result of the significant flood claims attributable to SuperStorm Sandy. Excluding the impact of Colonial Claims, our core organic commissions and fees in the fourth quarter of 2013 grew by 4.5%. In addition, we continued to improve certain operating profit margins in the fourth quarter.”
