increase of 26.0% compared to $390.0 million in the prior-year period. this increase was primarily due to continued strong organic revenue growth of 22.3%, driven by new client wins, expanded relationships with existing clients, coupled with continued expansion of the e&s market, and revenue from acquisitions completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $385.8 million, a 29.6% increase compared to the prior-year period. this was primarily due to an increase in compensation and benefits expense, which is heavily correlated to revenue growth and an increase in public company costs over the comparable period. general and administrative expense also increased compared to the prior-year period to accommodate revenue growth, including continued normalization of business travel and client entertainment. net income for the second quarter of 2022 increased 10.6% to $70.1 million, compared to $63.4 million in the prior-year period. the increase was mainly due to strong year-over-year revenue growth, and the removal of non-operating loss related to the make-whole on our preferred equity that was retired at ipo, offset by higher interest and income tax expense. diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.22. adjusted ebitdac of $166.1 million grew 18.2% from $140.5 million in the prior-year period. adjusted ebitdac margin for the quarter was 33.8%, compared to 36.0% in the prior-year period. the increase in adjusted ebitdac was driven primarily by strong revenue growth, as well as the finalization of the company’s 2020 restructuring plan, partially offset by increased adjusted compensation and benefits expense, as well as higher adjusted general and administrative expense. the restructuring plan, which the company initiated in 2020, was completed and achieved a total of $29.4 million in run-rate savings, compared to the initial target of $25.0 million. adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2022 rose 15.4% to $106.4 million, compared to $92.3 million in the prior-year period. adjusted net income margin was 21.7%, compared to 23.7% in the prior-year period. adjusted diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2022 was $0.39. * for the definition of each of the non-gaap measures referred to above as well as a reconciliation of such non-gaap measures to their most directly comparable gaap measures, see “non-gaap financial measures and key performance indicators” below. second quarter 2022 revenue by specialty growth in net commissions and

performance indicators in assessing the performance of the company’s business, non-gaap financial measures are used that are derived from the company’s consolidated financial information, but which are not presented in the company’s consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with gaap. the company considers these non-gaap financial measures to be useful metrics for management and investors to facilitate operating performance comparisons from period to period by excluding potential differences caused by variations in capital structures, tax positions, depreciation, amortization and certain other items that the company believes are not representative of its core business. the company uses the following non-gaap measures for business planning purposes, in measuring performance relative to that of its competitors, to help investors to understand the nature of the company's growth, and to enable investors to evaluate the run-rate performance of the company. non-gaap financial measures should be viewed as supplementing, and not as an alternative or substitute for the consolidated financial statements prepared and presented in accordance with gaap. the footnotes to the reconciliation tables below should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated quarterly financial statements in the company’s quarterly report on form 10-q filed with the sec. industry peers may provide similar supplemental information but may not define similarly-named metrics in the same way and may not make identical adjustments. organic revenue growth rate: organic revenue growth rate represents the percentage change in revenue, as compared to the same period for the year prior, adjusted for revenue attributable to acquisitions during their first 12 months of the

metric is total revenue growth rate. adjusted compensation and benefits expense: adjusted compensation and benefits expense represents compensation and benefits expense adjusted to reflect items such as (i) equity-based compensation, (ii) acquisition and restructuring related compensation expenses, and (iii) other exceptional or non-recurring compensation expenses, as applicable. the most directly comparable gaap financial metric is compensation and benefits expense. adjusted general and administrative expense: adjusted general and administrative expense represents general and administrative expense adjusted to reflect items such as (i) acquisition and restructuring related general and administrative expenses, and (ii) other exceptional or non-recurring general and administrative

any net taxable income of ryan specialty, llc. for comparability purposes, this calculation incorporates the impact of federal and state statutory tax rates on 100% of the company's adjusted pre-tax income as if the company owned 100% of ryan specialty, llc. the most directly comparable gaap financial metric is net income. adjusted net income margin: adjusted net income margin is defined as

reconciliation of the above non-gaap measures to their most directly comparable gaap financial measure is set forth in the reconciliation table accompanying this release. with respect to the organic revenue growth rate and adjusted ebitdac margin outlook presented in the “full year 2022 outlook” section of this press release, the company is unable to provide a comparable outlook for, or a reconciliation to, total revenue growth rate or net income margin because it cannot provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of certain reconciling items without unreasonable effort. its inability to do so is due to the inherent difficulty in forecasting the timing of items that have not yet occurred and quantifying certain amounts that are necessary for such reconciliation, including variations in effective tax rate, expenses to be incurred for acquisition activities and other one-time or exceptional items. consolidated statements of income (unaudited) three months ended
