Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1.9 billion at September 30, 2026, down from $3.1 billion at December 31, 2025; WTW also had the full $1.5 billion revolving credit facility available. Nine-month operating cash flow increased to $1.213 billion from $1.004 billion, with the increase primarily driven by operating margin expansion. Cash outflows included $1.1 billion primarily for Newfront and Cushon, $970 million of share repurchases and $267 million of dividends; operating cash inflows partially offset these uses.
