Insurance brokerage base commissions and fees organic growth measures year-over-year change in Gallagher Brokerage base commissions and fees after the issuer's organic adjustments.

Gallagher reported 4% organic growth in the second quarter of 2026. Organic base commissions and fees were $2.405B versus $2.306B.

Base commissions and fees are the core Brokerage revenue stream

The category is much larger than supplemental and contingent revenues.

That scale means relatively modest percentage growth here can drive more absolute organic revenue than faster growth in smaller categories.

Organic growth is not insurance-premium growth

Commission and fee revenue can reflect insured values, premium rates, exposure units, client retention, new business, and service mix.

Compare it with supplemental revenue organic growth and Brokerage organic revenue growth.
