Lockton's reinsurance arm drove 12% revenue growth to $4.5B in fiscal 2026. U.S. business hit $3B, People Solutions crossed $1B. CEO Ron Lockton said AI will reshape risk and insurance.
Lockton posted $4.5 billion in global revenue for fiscal 2026, up 12% from a year earlier, with the firm's reinsurance business leading the charge. The independent broker said organic growth hit 11%, marking the sixth straight year of double-digit organic expansion.
Lockton Re, the global reinsurance unit, delivered what the firm called strong results on expanded client relationships and geographic reach. The reinsurance arm added capital markets and capital advisory capabilities, and invested in cyber and credit offerings. Insurers are demanding more sophisticated advisory support as capital constraints and portfolio optimization pressures mount, Lockton said.
The U.S. business generated just under $3 billion in revenue, up 11% year over year. Client retention held firm, and the firm expanded national industry verticals and specialty practices across its Risk and People Solutions segments. People Solutions revenue crossed $1 billion for the first time.
International revenue rose 15%, with People Solutions jumping 27%. Lockton expanded its platform into Switzerland, Saudi Arabia, and Italy, and continued investing in leadership and client service teams across Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and the Pacific.
Chairman and CEO Ron Lockton credited the firm's private, independent structure. "Our structure allows us to invest with a long-term horizon, adapt quickly to emerging client and market needs, and continually reinvest in the capabilities, insights, and innovations that help clients navigate an increasingly complex risk environment," he said.
Lockton also invested in data, analytics, and artificial intelligence over the past year. "Artificial intelligence will reshape every aspect of risk and insurance," Ron Lockton said. "We see AI as an accelerator of human expertise, not a substitute for it."
