CHICAGO, IL July 27, 2012 - Aon plc (NYSE: AON) today reported results for the three months ended June 30, 2012.
Net income attributable to Aon shareholders decreased 5% to $246 million, or $0.73 per share, compared to $258 million, or $0.75 per share for the prior year quarter. Net income attributable to Aon shareholders from continuing operations was $247 million, or $0.73 per share, compared to $256 million, or $0.75 per share, for the prior year quarter. Net income per share attributable to Aon shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted for certain items, was $1.02, compared to $1.03 in the prior year quarter. Certain items that impacted second quarter results and comparisons with the prior year quarter are detailed in the Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income and Diluted Earnings per Share on page 12 of this press release.
Our second quarter results reflect improved organic revenue growth across all of our major businesses as we make significant investments to further strengthen our client-serving capabilities, said Greg Case, president and chief executive officer. While macro conditions remain fragile globally, we continue to anticipate improved performance in the second half of the year, our underlying performance is on track with our long-term targets and we have completed significant steps to position the firm for long-term growth, strong free cash flow generation and increased financial flexibility as highlighted by the repurchase of $250 million of ordinary shares in the quarter.
SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARY
Total revenue was flat to the prior year quarter at $2.8 billion driven by a 4% increase in organic revenue and a 1% increase in commissions and fees resulting from acquisitions, net of divestitures, offset by a 4% decrease from unfavorable foreign currency translation and a 33% decline in investment income.
Total operating expenses increased 2%, or $56 million, to $2.4 billion due primarily to a 4% increase in organic revenue, incremental investments in key talent and capabilities, $14 million of headquarter relocation costs and a $13 million increase in intangible asset amortization expense, partially offset by a $93 million favorable impact from foreign currency translation and a $16 million decline in lease termination costs.
Depreciation expense decreased 2%, or $1 million, to $57 million compared to the prior year quarter.
Intangible asset amortization expense increased 14%, or $13 million, to $104 million compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to a $16 million increase relating to assets associated with the merger with Hewitt.
Restructuring expenses were $13 million compared to $14 million in the prior year quarter. In the second quarter, the Company incurred $11 million of costs in the HR Solutions segment and $2 million of costs in the Risk Solutions segment related to the Aon Hewitt restructuring program. The Company has closed and completed all restructuring activities and incurred 100% of the total costs for the Aon Benfield restructuring program. An analysis of restructuring-related costs by type and segment are detailed on page 13 of this release.
Restructuring savings in the second quarter related to the Aon Hewitt restructuring program are estimated at $57 million compared to $34 million in the prior year quarter. Of the estimated savings in the second quarter, approximately $10 million were related to the Risk Solutions segment compared to $2 million in the prior year quarter. The Company expects to deliver cumulative expense savings of $355 million in 2013 related to the Aon Hewitt restructuring program, including $280 million related to the restructuring program and $75 million in additional synergy savings from areas such as information technology, procurement and public company costs.
Associated with the transfer of the Health and Benefits business effective January 1, 2012, approximately $46 million of the estimated savings under the Aon Hewitt restructuring program will be achieved in Risk Solutions. As of the second quarter, an estimated $26 million of cumulative savings have been achieved in Risk Solutions.
Restructuring savings in the second quarter related to the Aon Benfield restructuring program are estimated at $36 million compared to $30 million in the prior year quarter. Before any potential reinvestment of savings, the Aon Benfield restructuring program is expected to deliver cumulative expense savings of $146 million in 2012 related to the Risk Solutions segment.
Foreign currency exchange rates in the second quarter had a $0.03 per share, or $13 million pretax ($13 million in Risk Solutions, $2 million in HR Solutions, -$2 million in unallocated expenses), unfavorable impact on adjusted net income from continuing operations if the Company were to translate prior year quarter results at current quarter foreign exchange rates.
Effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations increased to 27.5% in the second quarter compared to 24.7% in the prior year quarter. The effective tax rate in the second quarter of 2011 was favorably impacted by the resolution of an income tax audit and certain deferred tax adjustments. The Company anticipates an effective tax rate on net income from continuing operations of approximately 28.0% in 2012.
Average diluted shares outstanding decreased to 335.6 million in the second quarter compared to 342.7 million in the prior year quarter. The Company repurchased 5.3 million Class A ordinary shares for approximately $250 million in the second quarter. As part of the change in corporate domicile, Aon plcs Board of Directors authorized a $5 billion share repurchase program on April 19, 2012 that replaced the previous share repurchase program authorized by Aon Corporations Board of Directors in January 2010. The Company has $4.7 billion of remaining authorization.

Risk Solutions total revenue decreased 1% to $1.9 billion compared to the prior year quarter due to 4% organic growth in commissions and fees offset by a 4% unfavorable impact from foreign currency and a 33% decline in investment income.
Retail Brokerage organic revenue increased 4% reflecting revenue growth in both the Americas and International businesses. Americas organic revenue increased 4% primarily as a result of strong management of the renewal book portfolio across U.S. Retail and Affinity and strong new business growth in Latin America. International organic revenue increased 3% driven by strong growth across Asia, New Zealand and emerging markets, and sustained management of the renewal book portfolio across continental Europe, despite continued macro-economic pressures. Reinsurance organic revenue increased 7% due primarily to strong new business growth in treaty placements globally, both recurring and non-recurring, and a favorable impact related to pricing in the near-term from property catastrophe exposed regions.

Compensation and benefits for the second quarter decreased 1%, or $7 million, compared to the prior year quarter due primarily to a $46 million favorable impact from foreign currency translation and benefits related to the formal restructuring programs, partially offset by 4% organic revenue growth and investments in key talent.
Other expenses for the second quarter decreased 3%, or $12 million, primarily due to a $27 million favorable impact from foreign currency translation and a $16 million decline in lease termination costs, partially offset by 4% organic revenue growth, $8 million of restructuring costs and incremental investments in GRIP related services.
Second quarter operating income increased 2% to $384 million. Adjusting for certain items detailed on page 12 of this press release, operating income increased 3%, or $12 million, compared to the prior year quarter, and operating margin increased 80 basis points to 21.9% due primarily to organic revenue growth, an 80 basis point favorable benefit from lower lease termination costs and savings related to the restructuring programs, partially offset by significant investments in GRIP related services and key talent across Asia and Latin America.

Unallocated expenses increased $15 million to $48 million including $14 million of costs related to the relocation of the Companys headquarters. Interest income decreased $2 million to $2 million due to lower average interest rates and lower average cash balances. Interest expense decreased $6 million to $57 million due primarily to a decline in the average rate on total debt outstanding. Other income (expense) of $12 million primarily includes an $18 million gain due to the favorable impact of exchange rates on remeasurement of assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies, partially offset by $8 million of losses on certain Company owned life insurance plans and other long-term investments. The prior year quarter primarily included a non-cash charge of $19 million related to the accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs and a $13 million loss related to the Companys ownership in certain insurance investment funds, partially offset by $9 million of distributions received from certain private equity securities.

This communication includes supplemental information related to organic revenue and several additional measures including expenses, margins and income per share, that exclude the effects of restructuring charges, transaction and integration costs and certain other noteworthy items that affected results for the comparable periods. Organic revenue excludes from reported revenues the impact of foreign exchange, acquisitions, divestitures, transfers between business units, reimbursable expenses and unusual items. The impact of foreign exchange is determined by translating last years revenue, expense or net income at this years foreign exchange rates. Reconciliations are provided in the attached schedules.

Management believes that these measures are important to make meaningful period-to-period comparisons and that this supplemental information is helpful to investors. They should be viewed in addition to, not in lieu of, the Companys Consolidated Financial Statements. Industry peers provide similar supplemental information regarding their performance, although they may not make identical adjustments.
