BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

Daytona Beach, Florida-based Brown & Brown Inc.’s second-quarter revenues rose 22.1% over those of the same period a year earlier to $397.8 million, bolstered by the closing of five acquisitions worth $157 million in revenue, Brown & Brown President and CEO J. Powell Brown said in a statement issued Monday.

Brown & Brown Inc.’s second quarter net income jumped 19.1% to $61.8 million, reflecting increased margins and organic growth, the brokerage said.

Commissions and fees for the three months ended June 30 totaled $394.7 million, up 21.8% from the same period last year. Investment income for the period was flat at $0.2 million.

The company said it achieved organic growth of 3.8% and margins grew 0.4% from the year-ago period.

“We are very pleased with the results for the quarter as we delivered organic growth in line with our expectations and increased margins modestly,” said Mr. Brown.
