Organization

Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc., was formed as a Delaware corporation on March 5, 2021, for the purpose of completing an IPO and to carry on the business of the LLC. New Ryan Specialty, LLC, or New LLC, was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on April 20, 2021, for the purpose of becoming, subsequent to our IPO, an intermediate holding company between Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc., and the LLC. The Company is the sole managing member of New LLC. New LLC is a holding company with its sole material asset being a controlling equity interest in the LLC. The Company operates and controls the business and affairs of the LLC through New LLC and, through the LLC, conducts its business. Accordingly, the Company consolidates the financial results of New LLC, and therefore the LLC, and reports the non-controlling interests of New LLC’s Common Units on its consolidated financial statements. As the LLC is substantively the same as New LLC, for the purpose of this document, we will refer to both New LLC and the LLC as the “LLC”. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 45.6% of the outstanding LLC Common Units.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Certain information and disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. These consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year due to seasonality and other factors.

In the opinion of management, the consolidated interim financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for all periods presented. Certain prior period amounts in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries that it controls due to ownership of a majority voting interest or pursuant to variable interest entity (“VIE”) accounting. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company, through its intermediate holding company New LLC, owns a minority economic interest in, and operates and controls the businesses and affairs of, the LLC. The LLC is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the LLC as the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the LLC’s economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of, and receive benefits from, the LLC, which could be significant to the Company. Accordingly, the Company has prepared these consolidated financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”). ASC 810 requires that if an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE should be included in the consolidated financial statements of such entity. The Company’s relationship with the LLC results in no recourse to the general credit of the Company and the Company has no contractual requirement to provide financial support to the LLC. The Company shares in the income and losses of the LLC in direct proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto requires management to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated interim financial statements and in the notes thereto. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as circumstances change or more information becomes available, which could affect the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies from those that were disclosed for the year ended December 31, 2023 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024.

The New LLC Operating Agreement requires that the Company and the LLC at all times maintain a one-to-one ratio between the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company and the number of LLC Common Units owned by the Company, except as otherwise determined by the Company.

Class A and Class B Common Stock

Each share of Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share. Each share of Class B common stock is initially entitled to 10 votes per share but, upon the occurrence of certain events as set forth in the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, will be entitled to one vote per share in the future. All holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class except as otherwise required by applicable law or our amended and restated certificate of incorporation.

Non-controlling Interests

The Company is the sole managing member of the LLC. As a result, the Company consolidates the LLC in its consolidated financial statements, resulting in non-controlling interests related to the LLC Common Units not held by the Company. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company owned 45.6% of the economic interests in the LLC, while the non-controlling interest holders owned the remaining 54.4% of the economic interests in the LLC.

Weighted average ownership percentages for the applicable reporting periods are used to attribute net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) to the Company and the non-controlling interest holders. The non-controlling interest holders’ weighted average ownership percentage was 54.9% and 57.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

IPO-Related Awards

As a result of the Organizational Transactions, pre-IPO holders of LLC Units that were granted as incentive awards, which had historically been classified as equity and vested pro rata over five years, were required to exchange their LLC Units for either Restricted Stock or Restricted Common Units. Additionally, Reload Options or Reload Class C Incentive Units were issued to employees in order to protect against the dilution of their existing awards upon exchange to the new awards.

Separately, certain employees were granted one or more of the following new awards: (i) Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), (ii) Staking Options, (iii) Restricted LLC Units (“RLUs”), or (iv) Staking Class C Incentive Units. The terms of these awards are described below. All awards granted as part of the Organizational Transactions and the IPO are subject to non-linear transfer restrictions for at least the five-year period following the IPO.

Incentive Awards

As part of the Company’s annual compensation process, the Company issues certain employees and directors equity-based compensation awards (“Incentive Awards”). Additionally, the Company offers Incentive Awards to certain new hires. These Incentive Awards typically take the form of (i) RSUs, (ii) RLUs, (iii) Class C Incentive Units, (iv) Stock Options, (v) Performance Stock Units (“PSUs”), and (vi) Performance LLC Units (“PLUs”). The terms of these awards are described below.

Restricted Stock and Restricted Common Units

As part of the Organizational Transactions, certain existing employee unitholders were granted Restricted Stock or Restricted Common Units in exchange for their LLC Units. The Restricted Stock and Restricted Common Units follow the vesting schedule of the LLC Units for which they were exchanged. LLC Units historically vested pro rata over 5 years.

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)

IPO RSUs

Related to the IPO, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees. The IPORSUs vest either pro rata over 5 years from the grant date or over 10 years from the grant date, with 10% vesting in each of years 3 through 9 and 30% vesting in year 10.

Incentive RSUs

As part of the Company’s compensation process, the Company issues Incentive RSUs to certain employees. The Incentive RSUs vest either 100%3 or 5 years from the grant date, pro rata over 3 or 5 years from the grant date, over 5 years from the grant date, with one-third of the grant vesting in each of years 3,4 and 5, orover 7 years from the grant date, with 20% vesting in each of years 3 through 7.

Upon vesting, RSUs automatically convert on a one-for-one basis into Class A common stock.

Stock Options

Reload and Staking Options

As part of the Organizational Transactions and IPO, certain employees were granted Reload Options or Staking Options that entitle the award holder to future purchases of Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, at the IPO price of $23.50. The Reload Options vest either 100%3 years from the grant date or over 5 years from the grant date, with one-third of the grant vesting in each of years 3,4 and 5. In general, vested Reload Options are exercisable up to the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The Staking Options vest over 10 years from the grant date, with 10% vesting in each of years 3 through 9 and 30% vesting in year 10. In general, vested Staking Options are exercisable up to the eleventh anniversary of the grant date.

Incentive Options

As part of the Company’s compensation process, the Company may issue Incentive Options to certain employees that entitle the award holder to future purchases of Class A common stock, on a one-for-one basis, at the respective exercise prices. The Incentive Options vest either over 5 years from the grant date, with one-third of the grant vesting in each of years 3,4 and 5 or pro rata over 7 years from the grant date. In general, vested Incentive Options are exercisable up to the tenth anniversary of the grant date.

1 As the Reload and Staking Options were one-time grants at the IPO, the weighted average exercise price for any movements in these awards will perpetually be $23.50. As such, the values are not presented in the table above.

The fair value of Incentive Options granted during thethree months ended March 31, 2024 was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

The use of a valuation model for the Options requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the observed volatility for comparable companies. The expected time to maturity was based on the weighted-average vesting term and contractual term of the awards. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury rates commensurate with the expected life of the award. The dividend yield was based on the Company’s expected dividend rate.

Restricted LLC Units (RLUs)

IPO RLUs

Related to the IPO, the Company granted RLUs to certain employees that vest either pro rata over 5 years from the grant date or over 10 years from the grant date, with 10% vesting in each of years 3 through 9 and 30% vesting in year 10.

Incentive RLUs

As part of the Company’s compensation process, the Company issues Incentive RLUs to certain employees. The Incentive RLUs vest either 100%3 years from the grant date, pro rata over 3 or 5 years from the grant date, or over 7 years from the grant date, with 20% vesting in each of years 3 through 7.

Upon vesting, RLUs convert on a one-for-one basis into either LLC Common Units or Class A common stock at the election of the Company.

Class C Incentive Units

Reload and Staking Class C Incentive Units

As part of the Organizational Transactions and IPO, certain employees were granted Reload Class C Incentive Units or Staking Class C Incentive Units, which are profits interests. When the value of Class A common stock exceeds the participation threshold, vested profits interests may be exchanged for LLC Common Units of equal value. On exchange, the LLC Common Units are immediately redeemed on aone-to-one basis for Class A common stock. The Reload Class C Incentive Units vest either 100%3 years from the grant date or over 5 years from the grant date, with one-third of the grant vesting in each of years 3,4 and 5. The Staking Class C

Incentive Units vest either pro rata over 5 years from the grant date or over 10 years from the grant date, with 10% vesting in each of years 3 through 9 and 30% vesting in year 10.

Class C Incentive Units

As part of the Company’s compensation process, the Company issues Class C Incentive Units to certain employees, which are profits interests. When the value of Class A common stock exceeds the participation threshold, vested profits interests may be exchanged for LLC Common Units of equal value. On exchange, the LLC Common Units are immediately redeemed on aone-to-one basis for Class A common stock. The Class C Incentive Units vest over 8 years from the grant date, with 15% vesting in each of years 3 through 7 and 25% vesting in year 8, or over 7 years from the grant date, with 20% vesting in each of years 3 through 7.

As the Reload and Staking Class C Incentive Units were one-time grants at the IPO, the weighted average participation threshold for these awards will be consistent across any type of movement. The weighted average participation threshold for Reload and Staking Class C Incentive Units was $23.46 and $23.50 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in the participation thresholds for the various types of Class C Incentive Units was due to the distributions declared to these awards during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Performance Based Awards

Performance Stock Units (PSUs) and Performance LLC Units (PLUs)

Certain employees were granted performance-based equity awards, either PSUs or PLUs, subject to the Company’s achievement of several defined performance metrics including(i) an Adjusted EBITDAC Margin target, (ii) an Organic Revenue Growth Compound Annual Growth Rate (“CAGR”) target, and (iii) total shareholder return (“TSR”) CAGR targets. The TSR CAGR targets are measured from the grant date share price to the sum of (i) the average of (a) the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Class A common stock for the fourth quarter of 2027 and (b) the VWAP of the Class A common stock for the first quarter of 2028 and (ii) dividends paid to Class A common shareholders. The Adjusted EBITDAC Margin and the Organic Revenue Growth CAGR targets as well as a minimum threshold for the TSR CAGR target must be achieved for the awards to vest. If the Adjusted EBITDAC Margin or the Organic Revenue Growth CAGR targets are not met, or the TSR CAGR is below the minimum threshold, the awards will be forfeit.

PSUs represent the right to receive Class A common shares and PLUs represent the right to receive LLC Common Units upon vesting. If the Adjusted EBITDAC Margin and the Organic Revenue Growth CAGR targets are achieved, and the TSR CAGR meets at least the minimum threshold, the TSR CAGR targets will determine how many Class A common shares or LLC Common Units, as applicable, the awards vest into. Assuming the minimum threshold is met, the awards will vest into between 75% and 150%of the applicable stock or units. The payout percentage between the TSR CAGR range will be determined on a graduated basis. Confirmation of the targets will not occur until after the Company’s fiscal year 2028 earnings are reported. If the targets are achieved, theawards will vest on April 1, 2029. The probability of achieving the performance metrics is assessed each reporting period for expense purposes.



The fair value of the performance-based awards granted during thethree months ended March 31, 2024 was determined using the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model with the following assumptions:

The use of a valuation model for the PSUs and PLUs requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. Expected volatility was calculated based on the observed volatility for comparable companies. The time to maturity was based on the stock price CAGR target through the first quarter of 2028. The risk-free interest rate was based on U.S. Treasury rates commensurate with the performance period. The initial RYAN stock price is the base for the stock price CAGR target. The difference in the grant date fair value of the PSUs and PLUs relates to the difference in Dividend Equivalents and Distributions Declared (as defined below) each award is entitled to accrue.

Non-Employee Director Stock Grants

The Company grants RSUs (“Director Stock Grants”) to non-employee directors serving as members of the Company’s Board of Directors, with the exception of the one director appointed by Onex in accordance with Onex’s nomination rights who has agreed to forgo any compensation for his service to the Board. The Director Stock Grants are fully vested upon grant. The next grant is anticipated to occur in the second quarter of 2024 concurrent with the annual shareholders’ meeting.

Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions

A majority of the Company’s unvested equity-based compensation awards, with the exception of Options and Class C Incentive Units, are entitled to accrue dividend equivalents if the award vests into Class A common stock (“Dividend Equivalents”) or declared distributions if the award vests into LLC Common Units (“Declared Distributions”) over the period the underlying award vests. The Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions will be paid in cash to award holders at the time the underlying award vests. If an award holder forfeits their underlying award, the accrued Dividend Equivalents or Declared Distributions will also be forfeited. Class C Incentive Units do not accrue cash distributions but instead have their participation thresholds lowered by each distribution declared. Options do not participate in dividends.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company accrued $0.5 million and $0.1 million related to Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions, respectively, in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $1.9 million and $0.1 million related to Dividend Equivalents and Declared Distributions, respectively, in Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Equity-Based Compensation Expense

As of March 31, 2024, the unrecognized equity-based compensation costs related to each type of equity-based compensation award described above and the related weighted-average remaining expense period were as follows:

The following table includes the equity-based compensation the Company recognized by award type from the view of expense related to pre-IPO and post-IPO awards. The table also presents the unrecognized equity-based compensation expense as of March 31, 2024 in the same view.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc., by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed giving effect to potentially dilutive shares, including LLC equity awards and the non-controlling interests’ LLC Common Units that are exchangeable into Class A common stock. As shares of Class B common stock do not share in earnings and are not participating securities, they are not included in the Company’s calculation. A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is as follows:

The following number of shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of including such potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive:

Derivatives

Deal-Contingent Foreign Currency Forward

On December 21, 2023, the Company entered into a deal-contingent foreign currency forward (the “Deal-Contingent Forward”) to manage the risk of appreciation of the GBP-denominated purchase price of the acquisition of Castel Underwriting Agencies Limited (“Castel”). The Deal-Contingent Forward has a 200.0 million GBP notional amount and will only be executed if and when the Castel acquisition closes. As the Deal-Contingent Forward is an economic hedge and has not been designated as an accounting hedge, any gains or losses resulting from the Deal-Contingent Forward, including changes in the instrument’s fair value, are recognized through earnings in the period incurred.

Interest Rate Cap

In April 2022, the Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations related to the Company’s Term Loan in the amount of $25.5 million. The interest rate cap has a $1,000.0 million notional amount,2.75% strike, and terminates on December 31, 2025. At inception, the Company formally designated the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedge. As of March 31, 2024, the interest rate cap continued to be an effective hedge.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the increase of $3.7 million and decrease of $8.7 million, respectively, in the fair value of the interest rate cap were recognized in Other comprehensive income (loss). As of March 31, 2024, the Company expects

$22.3 million of unrealized gains from the interest rate cap to be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months. See Note 16, Income Taxes, for further information on the tax effects on other comprehensive income related to the interest rate cap.

The location and gains (losses) on derivatives are reported on the Consolidated Statements of Income as follows:

The location and fair value of derivatives are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:

See Note 13, Fair Value Measurements, for further information on the fair value of derivatives.

Variable Interest Entities

As discussed in Note 1, Basis of Presentation, the Company consolidates the LLC as a VIE under ASC 810. The Company’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows effectively represent those of the LLC as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2024, with the exception of Cash and cash equivalents of $19.6 million, Other current assets of $2.1 million, Deferred tax assets of $381.8 million, Accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $2.8 million, Other non-current liabilities of $1.9 million, and the entire balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities of $361.0 million onthe Consolidated Balance Sheets, which are attributable solely to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc. As of December 31, 2023, Cash and cash equivalents of $58.2 million, the entire balance of the Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities of $358.9 million, and Deferred tax assets of $383.3 million on the Consolidated Balance Sheet were attributable solely to Ryan Specialty Holdings, Inc.

Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair values as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data which requires the use of valuation techniques and the development of assumptions.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is classified is determined based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measure in its entirety.

The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for commissions and fees receivable—net, other current assets, accounts payable, short-term debt, and other accrued liabilities as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximate fair value because of the short-term duration of these instruments. The fair value of long-term debt, including the Term Loan, Senior Secured Notes, the units subject to mandatory redemption, and any current portion of such debt, was $1,979.0 million and $1,976.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair value of the Term Loan and Senior Secured Notes would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy and the units subject to mandatory redemption would be classified as Level 3. See Note 7, Debt for the carrying values of the Company’s debt.

Derivative Instruments

Deal-Contingent Foreign Currency Forward

The Company entered into the Deal-Contingent Forward to manage the risk of appreciation of the GBP-denominated purchase price of the Castel acquisition. The fair value of the Deal-Contingent Forward is determined by comparing the contractual foreign exchange rates to forward market rates for various future dates, probability weighted for when the acquisition is anticipated to close, and discounted to the valuation date. The lowest level of inputs used that are significant in determining the fair value are considered Level 3 inputs. See Note 11, Derivatives, for further information on the Deal-Contingent Forward.

Interest Rate Cap

The Company uses an interest rate cap to manage its exposure to interest rate fluctuations related to the Company’s Term Loan. The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the cap. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The inputs used in determining the fair value of the interest rate cap are considered Level 2 inputs. See Note 11, Derivatives, for further information on the interest rate cap.

Contingent Consideration

The fair value of contingent consideration obligations is based on the present value of the future expected payments to be made to the sellers of certain acquired businesses in accordance with the provisions outlined in the respective purchase agreements, which is a Level 3 fair value measurement. In determining fair value, the Company estimates cash payments based on management’s financial projections of the performance of each acquired business relative to the formula specified by each purchase agreement. The Company utilizes Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate financial projections of each acquired business. The Monte Carlo models consider forecasted revenue and EBITDA and market risk-adjusted revenue and EBITDA, which are run through a series of simulations. As of March 31, 2024, the models used risk-free rates, expected volatility, and a credit spread that ranged from 4.8% to 5.4%,6.7% to 18.1%, and 2.6% to 3.5%, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the models used risk-free rates, expected volatility, and a credit spread that ranged from 4.9% to 5.4%,7.0% to 21.7%, and 3.3% to 4.2%, respectively. The Company discounts the expected payments created by the Monte Carlo model to present value using a risk-adjusted rate that takes into consideration the market-based rates of return that reflect the ability of the acquired entity to achieve its targets. The discount rate ranges used to present value the cash payments were 7.4% to 8.3% and 8.3% to 9.1% as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Each period, the Company revalues the contingent consideration obligations associated with certain prior acquisitions to their fair value and records the changes of the fair value of these estimated obligations in Change in contingent consideration in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in contingent consideration result from changes in the assumptions regarding probabilities of successful achievement of related EBITDA and revenue milestones, the estimated timing in which milestones are achieved, and the discount rate used to estimate the fair value of the liability. Contingent consideration may change significantly as the Company’s revenue growth rate and EBITDA estimates evolve and additional data is obtained, impacting the Company’s assumptions. The use of different assumptions and judgments could result in a different estimate of fair value which may have a material impact on the results from operations and financial position. See Note 3, Mergers and Acquisitions, for further information on contingent consideration.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by fair value hierarchy input level:

Contingent consideration of $39.8 million was recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024. Contingent consideration of $3.1 million and $41.1 million was recorded in Other non-current liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Level 3 Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The following is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value:

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, $3.4 million and $4.5 million settlements of contingent consideration are presented in the operating and financing sections, respectively, of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal – E&O and Other Considerations

As an E&S and Admitted markets intermediary, the Company faces ordinary course of business E&O exposure. The Company also has potential E&O risk if an insurance carrier with which Ryan Specialty placed coverage denies coverage for a claim or pays less than the insured believes is the full amount owed. The Company seeks to resolve, through commercial accommodations, certain matters to limit the economic exposure, including potential legal fees, and reputational risk created by a disagreement between a carrier and the insured, as well as other E&O matters.

The Company utilizes insurance to provide protection from E&O liabilities that may arise during the ordinary course of business. Ryan Specialty’s E&O insurance provides aggregate coverage for E&O losses up to $100.0 million in excess of a per claim retention amount of $5.0 million. The Company’s per claim retention amount increased from $2.5 million to $5.0 million as of June 1, 2023. The Company periodically determines a range of possible outcomes using the best available information that relies, in part, on projecting historical claim data into the future. Loss contingencies of $7.7 million and $6.4 million were recorded for outstanding matters as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Loss contingencies exclude the impact of any loss recoveries. The Company recognized the net impact of the loss contingencies and any loss recoveries of $1.1 million and $0.6 million in E&O expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in General and administrative expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The historical claim and commercial accommodation data used to project the current estimates may not be indicative of future claim activity. Thus, the estimates could change in the future as more information becomes known, which could materially impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein.

During 2022, the Company placed certain insurance policies through a trading partner with the understanding that the policies were underwritten by highly rated insurance capital. The policies were instead underwritten by an insurance carrier that was not considered satisfactory by the Company or the insureds. The Company committed to securing replacement coverage, to the extent commercially available, from highly rated insurance companies on terms substantially similar to the insurance coverage originally agreed upon. As a result of this unusual circumstance, the Company has and may continue to incur losses (“Replacement Costs”) arising from the original placements. The Company has determined that it is probable that it will be exposed to the Replacement Costs on policies placed with this trading partner. The Company recognized an estimated loss contingency of $0.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, within Accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Relatedly, the Company has obtained sufficient evidence from its E&O insurance carriers to conclude that a recovery of the claim for the Replacement Costs, in excess of the $2.5 million retention, is probable. A loss recovery of $19.6 million and $20.6 million was recorded as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, in Other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the aggregate, the loss contingency and related loss recovery resulted in a $2.5 million expense recognized in 2022 andno further expense related to this matter has been recognized since.

It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of Replacement Costs will change in the near term as policies are adjusted. Further, exposure to additional losses may arise from policies that had expired prior to, or shortly after, the discovery of this unusual circumstance, adjustable premiums arising from the addition or deletion of properties over the policy term, unpaid covered claims, or other damages for losses incurred by our customers. An estimate of these potential losses cannot be made at this time but could change in the future as more information becomes known.

Ryan Investment Holdings

Ryan Investment Holdings, LLC (“RIH”) was formed as an investment holding company designed to aggregate the funds of Ryan Specialty and Geneva Ryan Holdings, LLC (“GRH”) for investment in Geneva Re Partners, LLC (“GRP”). GRH was formed as an investment holding company designed to aggregate investment funds of Patrick G. Ryan and other affiliated investors. Two affiliated investors are LLC Unitholders and directors of the Company, and another is an LLC Unitholder and employee of the Company. Ryan Specialty does not consolidate GRH as the Company does not have a direct investment in or variable interest in this entity.

The Company holds a 47% interest in RIH and GRH holds the remaining 53% interest. RIH has a 50% non-controlling interest in GRP and the other 50% is owned by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company. GRP wholly owns Geneva Re, Ltd (“Geneva Re”), a Bermuda-regulated reinsurance company, and GR Bermuda SAC Ltd (the “Segregated Account Company”). The Segregated Account Company has one segregated account, which is beneficially owned by a third-party insurance company (the “Third-party Insurer”). RIH is considered a related party variable interest entity under common control with the Company. The Company is not most closely associated with the variable interest entity and therefore does not consolidate RIH. The assets of RIH are restricted to settling obligations of RIH, pursuant to Delaware limited liability company statutes.

The Company is not required to contribute any additional capital to RIH, and its maximum exposure to loss on the equity method investment is the total invested capital of $47.0 million. The Company may be exposed to losses arising from the equity method investment as a result of underwriting losses recognized at Geneva Re or losses on Geneva Re’s investment portfolio. RIH has committed to contribute additional capital to GRP over the next several years. Patrick G. Ryan, through a trust of which he is the beneficiary and co-trustee, has committed to personally fund any such additional capital contributions. Any such additional capital contributions under this commitment will not affect the relative ownership of RIH’s common equity.

Geneva Re

The Company has a service agreement with Geneva Re to provide both administrative services to, as well as disburse payments for costs directly incurred by, Geneva Re. These direct costs include compensation expenses incurred by employees of Geneva Re. The Company had $0.1 millionand $0.2 million due from Geneva Re under this agreement as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Ryan Re Services Agreements with Geneva Re

Ryan Re, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is party to a services agreement with Geneva Re to provide, among other services, certain underwriting and administrative services to Geneva Re. Ryan Re receives a service fee equal to 115% of the administrative costs incurred by Ryan Re in providing these services to Geneva Re. Revenue earned from Geneva Re was $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Receivables due from Geneva Re under this agreement were $0.4 million and $0.7 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

On April 2, 2023, Ryan Re entered into a services agreement with Geneva Re in accordance with which Ryan Re subcontracted certain services to Geneva Re that Ryan Re is required to provideto the segregated account of the Segregated Account Company on behalf of the Third-party Insurer. The Company incurred expense of $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, and as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had prepaid expenses of $3.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, related to this services agreement. The prepaid expenses are included in Other currents assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Company Leasing of Corporate Jets

In the ordinary course of its business, the Company charters executive jets for business purposes from Executive Jet Management (“EJM”), a third-party service provider. Mr. Ryan indirectly owns aircraft that he leases to EJM for EJM’s charter operations for which he receives remuneration from EJM. The Company pays market rates for chartering aircraft through EJM, unless the particular aircraft chartered is Mr. Ryan’s, in which case the Company receives a discount below market rates. Historically, the Company has been able to charter Mr. Ryan’s aircraft and make use of this discount. The Company recognized expense related to business usage of aircraft of $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Income Taxes

The Company is taxed as a corporation for income tax purposes and is subject to federal, state, and local taxes with respect to its allocable share of any net taxable income from the LLC. The LLC is a limited liability company taxed as a partnership for income tax purposes, and its taxable income or loss is passed through to its members, including the Company. The LLC is subject to income taxes on its taxable income in certain foreign countries, in certain state and local jurisdictions that impose income taxes on partnerships, and on the taxable income of its U.S. corporate subsidiaries.

Effective Tax Rate

The Company’s effective tax rate from continuing operations was 13.70% and 14.70% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were different than the 21% statutory rate primarily as a result of the income attributable to the non-controlling interests.

The Company does not believe it has any significant uncertain tax positions and therefore hasno unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024, that, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate material changes in unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve-month period.

Deferred Taxes

The Company reported Deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities where appropriate, of $382.6 million and $383.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024, the Company concluded that, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, the Deferred tax assets with respect to the Company’s basis difference in its investment in the LLC are more likely than not to be realized. As such, no valuation allowance has been recognized against that basis difference.

Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA)

The Company is party to a TRA with current and certain former LLC Unitholders. The TRA provides for the payment by the Company to the current and certain former LLC Unitholders of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes that the Company realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) as a result of (i) certain increases in the tax basis of the assets of the LLC resulting from purchases or exchanges of LLC Common Units (“Exchange Tax Attributes”), (ii) certain tax attributes of the LLC that existed prior to the IPO (“Pre-IPO M&A Tax Attributes”), (iii) certain favorable “remedial” partnership tax allocations to which the Company becomes entitled (if any), and (iv) certain other tax benefits related to the Company entering into the TRA, including certain tax benefits attributable to payments that the Company makes under the TRA (“TRA Payment Tax Attributes”). The Company recognizes a liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the undiscounted estimated future payments under the TRA. The amounts payable under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the amount, character, and timing of the taxable income of the Company in the future.

Based on current projections, the Company anticipates having sufficient taxable income to be able to realize the benefits and has recorded Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities of $361.0 million related to these benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024. The following summarizes activity related to the Tax Receivable Agreement liabilities:

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the TRA liabilities increased $2.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively, due to exchanges of LLC Common Units for Class A common stock, which was recognized in Additional paid-in capital on the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity.
