The real story behind the numbers was organic momentum, with 5% organic revenue growth across both segments masking the drag from the late-2024 TRANZACT divestiture. Adjusted operating margin expanded 230 basis points to 20.4%, reflecting efficiency gains and the wind-down of Transformation program costs, while adjusted EBITDA grew 8% to $515 million. The Risk & Broking segment delivered 6% organic growth, and Health, Wealth & Career posted 4% organic gains despite the TRANZACT headwind. WTW remained aggressive on capital returns, repurchasing $600 million in shares during the quarter as part of a planned $1.50 billion full-year buyback program. Management expressed confidence in sustaining mid-single-digit organic revenue growth, continued annual margin expansion, and improving free cash flow, with a roughly $0.15 per-share currency tailwind expected in Q4.
Key Takeaways
- • 5% organic revenue growth driven by both segments
- • Adjusted operating margin expansion of 230 basis points to 20.4%
- • Health delivered 7% organic revenue growth across all regions
- • Risk & Broking CRB organic growth of 6% driven by new business and global specialty placements
- • Wealth generated 5% organic growth from strong Retirement work in Great Britain and North America
- • Operating leverage from Transformation program savings
- • Abatement of remaining Transformation program cash outflows boosted free cash flow
- • TRANZACT divestiture removed drag, improved HWC operating margins by 390 bps
