As highlighted below, Lockton's revenue growth was driven by continued strength across all business segments and geographies. Lockton's track record of delivering consistent growth is underpinned by a solid and recurring 96% client retention rate.
Key Highlights:
- Fiscal 2024 consolidated global revenue increased 15% to $3.55 billion driven by 14% organic revenue growth. Fiscal 2024 marked the fourth consecutive year of double-digit organic global revenue growth and a five-year organic revenue CAGR of 15%.

"Our private ownership model allows us to prioritize what is truly important: our clients and our people, making Lockton the best place to work and serve clients."
Lockton's generational view of the business allows for a longer investment cycle that fosters lasting client relationships and propels sustainable global growth.
"Our goal has never been to be the largest broker, just the best. However, when great people passionately and consistently serve clients and exceed expectations, organic growth and significant global scale is inevitable," Lockton continued.
Other notable areas of investment and increased capabilities include the continued buildout of tax, litigation, and intellectual property expertise within Lockton's Transaction Liability practice. Lockton has also made significant investments in emerging and specialized practices, including technology, marine and cyber risk.

Importantly, Lockton maintains a conservative, all-weather capital structure that will allow us to continue to invest in our people and our clients. We will continue to invest in industry-leading talent and continue to develop our suite of capabilities and expertise we offer our clients," Lockton concluded.
