Baldwin Insurance Group Updates on 2025 Performance, Strategic Acquisitions, and Market Outlook
BWIN
M&A
Guidance Update
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
  • Baldwin Insurance Group (BWIN) reported significant growth from 2019 to 2025, with revenue increasing from $135 million to over $1.5 billion and adjusted EBITDA from $35 million to $340 million. In 2025, the company achieved 7% organic growth, which would have been 10% when normalizing for $30 million in adjusted EBITDA impact from specific headwinds.
  • The company's sales velocity in 2025 was 19%, exceeding the industry median of 11.5% and top quartile of 15.5%. Client retention improved by nearly 300 basis points year-over-year in Q4 2025, with expectations for this trend to continue, supporting a double-digit growth platform.
  • On January 1st, BWIN closed three partnerships, notably the acquisition of CAC, which had a five-year organic growth CAGR of nearly 30% and over $300 million in revenue. Within 60 days, over $25 million of the identified $43 million in expected cost synergies were actioned, and CAC reported over $32 million in closed new business as of mid-February 2026.
  • Free cash flow conversion from adjusted EBITDA is currently 25%-30%, below peers (65%-70%), primarily due to leverage and integration costs, with another year of CAC integration costs expected. For 2026, BWIN anticipates property rates to remain deeply competitive and casualty pricing pressure to ebb, foreseeing a few years of competitive pricing.
