Ryan Specialty (NYSE:RYAN), a leading provider of specialty insurance solutions, reported its second quarter 2025 results on July 31, 2025. The company posted GAAP revenue of $855.2 million, surpassing analyst expectations of $832.0 million, and adjusted diluted earnings per share (non-GAAP) of $0.66, a slight beat over the $0.65 consensus. Organic revenue growth rate (non-GAAP) was 7.1%, down from 14.2% in Q2 2024, coming in below company guidance for full year 2025 of 9.0%–11.0% and below historical trends. The quarter reflected solid execution and acquisition-fueled gains, but Management lowered full-year 2025 guidance for organic revenue growth rate to 9.0%–11.0% (previously 11.0%–13.0%) and adjusted EBITDAC margin to 32.5%–33.0% (previously 32.5%–33.5%) amid ongoing softness in the property insurance market. Overall, the results exceeded expectations, but underlying trends require close attention in the periods ahead.

Business Overview and Focus Areas
Ryan Specialty operates as a specialized intermediary focused on the excess and surplus (E&S) insurance market. The E&S market provides insurance for complex or high-risk situations that traditional insurers may decline to cover. This specialization enables the company to deliver custom insurance solutions where standard coverage is not available or insufficient.
The company’s recent strategy has centered around expanding its presence in the E&S market through organic initiatives and strategic acquisitions. Key success factors include nurturing strong relationships with retail brokers and insurance carriers, ongoing investment in technology and talent, and accelerating growth with targeted acquisitions. Ryan Specialty’s core business lines are wholesale brokerage, binding authorities (delegated placements by third parties), and underwriting management, each supporting its broad portfolio of specialty insurance solutions.
Quarter Highlights and Segment Performance
The quarter featured clear outperformance on headline revenue and earnings, supported by the closing of three acquisitions. The main driver of growth remained solid organic growth, although organic revenue growth slowed considerably versus historic levels, declining from 14.2% in the prior-year quarter to 7.1%. Adjusted EBITDAC, a non-GAAP metric that reflects operating profitability before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and contingent consideration, rose significantly, while net income margin (GAAP) declined.
Segment results indicate a shift in the business mix. Wholesale Brokerage, which supplies specialized coverage via intermediary channels, remained the largest unit by revenue with a year-over-year rise of 7.4%. Binding Authorities, which focus on delegated underwriting to cover niche or hard-to-place risks, saw revenue grow 17.2%. Most notably, Underwriting Management revenue surged 73.1% from the same quarter last year, now contributing 32.1% of total segment net commissions and fees.
Property‐focused lines, which typically exhibit seasonality in the second and fourth quarters, experienced a “modest decline,” according to management, reflecting continued softness in pricing and demand. In contrast, most casualty lines (insurance covering liability risks) grew, benefiting from increased demand in sectors like habitational, transportation, construction, and healthcare. Companies refer to “submission flow” as the volume of new or renewal insurance requests entering their pipeline; these flows held up in most major exposure categories, sustaining headline momentum even as the growth rate moderated.
Supplemental and contingent commissions, which represent variable compensation tied to favorable policy outcomes or volume, jumped to $35.6 million, up almost fourfold year over year. The company also noted that tech investments, particularly in workflow automation and early-stage artificial intelligence, continue to support margin improvement.
Outlook and What to Watch
Management lowered full-year organic revenue growth guidance to a 9.0–11.0% range, from its previous estimate of 11.0–13.0% for FY2025. It also tightened expectations for adjusted EBITDAC margin, now set between 32.5–33.0% for full year 2025, trimming the upper end of the prior range. The guidance cut for FY2025 reflects modest softness in the property segment, as well as increased general and administrative spending. No changes were announced regarding plans for capital structure or future acquisitions, but leadership noted a willingness to temporarily exceed its net leverage guideline for compelling deals, as discussed in Q1 2025.
Ryan Specialty declared a quarterly dividend of $0.12 per share, payable August 26, 2025. Going forward, investors may want to closely track the pace of organic revenue growth, the success of integrating recently acquired businesses, and the stability of core profit and margin metrics. Other focal points include the evolution of conditions in the specialty property market, the level and volatility of contingent commissions, and any further adjustments to margin or growth forecasts as market conditions shift.

Zacks Rank: KNSL carries a Zacks Rank #3. You can see the complete list of today’s Zacks #1 Rank stocks here.
Factors Likely to Shape Q4 Results
Kinsale’s fourth-quarter results are likely to benefit from the strong performing transportation divisions, especially the commercial auto division, growth in personal line space, particularly high-value homeowners division, strong growth in new business submission activity and positive overall rate changes across the book of business. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for net earned premium is pegged at $363 million, indicating a 22% increase from the year-ago reported quarter. Our estimate is $344.7 million.
Net investment income is likely to have benefited from growth in the investment portfolio generated from strong operating cash flows.

A proprietary technology platform, cost-control initiatives to manage expenses and ceding commissions generated from the company's casualty and commercial property quota-sharing reinsurance agreements are likely to have aided margins. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for expense ratio is pegged at 20.4.
Underwriting income benefited from premium growth and lower relative net commissions. Our estimate is $77 million. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for combined ratio is pegged at 76.
Share buybacks are likely to have aided the bottom line.
KNSL’s Price Performance & Expensive Valuation
The stock outperformed the industry, sector and the Zacks S&P 500 composite index in 2024.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
KNSL stock is not that cheap, as its Value Score of D suggests an unfavorable valuation at this moment.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
The stock is trading at a price-to-book value of 7.55X, higher than the industry’s 1.56X. It is expensive compared with other players like Globe Life GL and Everest Group EG but cheap compared with Ryan Specialty RYAN.
Investment Thesis
Kinsale is well poised to gain from its strong presence across the E&S market in the United States and high retention rates stemming from contract renewals. Management noted that the E&S market has grown significantly and generated better underwriting results than the broader P&C industry. It remains well-poised to benefit from continued market dislocation, aiding improved submission flows and better pricing decisions.
KNSL has been successfully delivering improved margins and lower loss ratios. The insurer targets clients with small and medium-sized accounts, offering better pricing. Management estimates low double-digit rate increases across the book of business.
Kinsale enjoys the best combination of high growth and low combined ratio among its peers. It targets a combined ratio in the mid-80s range over the long term.
KNSL is well poised to generate an improved expense ratio given its proprietary technology platform, which is likely to provide it with a competitive edge over other industry players and scalability in business. The insurer drives profitability and operational efficiency using analytics.
Amid a low interest rate environment, investment income should benefit from the investment of excess operating funds.
Notably, its free cash flow conversion has remained more than 85% over the last several quarters, reflecting its solid earnings.
Conclusion
Kinsale Capital is poised to gain from its focus on the excess and supply market, prudent underwriting, lower expense ratio, growth in the investment portfolio and effective capital deployment.
The insurer has an impressive dividend history. It has increased dividends since 2017 at a seven-year CAGR (2017-2024) of 12%, riding on the strength of operational excellence that supports its solid capital position.
However, given its expensive valuation, it is better to wait for some more time before investing in the stock.
