Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $37,035,000, or $0.26 per share, compared with $41,185,000, or $0.29 per share for the same quarter of 2010, a decrease of 10.1%. Total revenue for the second quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $246,816,000, compared with 2010 second-quarter revenue of $243,665,000, an increase of 1.3%.

J. Powell Brown, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brown & Brown, Inc., noted, "We were challenged this quarter by $4.2 million less in profit-sharing contingency commissions.
