AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Marsh McLennan (MRSH)

Marsh Q1 revenue rises 8% to $7.6 billion; GAAP operating income falls 12%

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Marsh reported first quarter 2026 results on April 16, 2026. Revenue rose 8% to $7.6 billion (4% on an underlying basis), but GAAP operating income fell 12% to $1.8 billion after a $425 million Greensill litigation charge, and GAAP diluted EPS was $2.36 versus $2.79 a year earlier. Adjusted EPS rose 8% to $3.29, so shareholders face a mixed picture driven largely by that one charge.

Key points

  • Revenue of $7.6 billion, up 8% from $7.1 billion a year earlier; underlying growth was 4%.
  • GAAP diluted EPS of $2.36 versus $2.79; net income attributable to the Company was $1.1 billion versus $1.4 billion.
  • Operating income included a $425 million charge related to the Greensill litigation; adjusted EPS rose 8% to $3.29.
  • The Company repurchased about 4.2 million shares for $750 million in the quarter.
