Net income per share attributable to Aon shareholders, adjusted for certain items, increased 17% to $1.63, compared to $1.39 in the prior year period. Net income from continuing operations was $265 million, or $0.94 per share, compared to $312 million, or $1.10 per share, in the prior year period. Net income per share from continuing operations, adjusted for certain items, increased 20% to $1.45, compared to $1.21 in the prior year period. Certain items that impacted first quarter results and comparisons with the prior year period are detailed in the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income and Diluted Earnings per Share" on page 10 of this press release.
"Our first quarter results reflect a strong start to the year driven by investments in our client-serving capabilities and operating model. Organic growth of 4% is the strongest start to the year since 2012, adjusted operating margins expanded by 220 basis points, and earnings per share from continuing operations increased 20% driven by effective operational and capital management," said Greg Case, President and Chief Executive Officer. "With the recently completed divestiture of our outsourcing platform, we have taken another meaningful step in a decade long strategy that has produced exceptional results for clients and shareholders. As a leading global professional services firm, we are operating from a position of strength. With strong free cash flow generation and roughly $3 billion of incremental transaction proceeds, we have significant financial flexibility to invest in high-growth high-margin areas across our industry-leading portfolio, invest in our operating model and to return capital to shareholders."
FIRST QUARTER FINANCIAL SUMMARYThe first quarter financial results discussed herein represent performance from continuing operations unless otherwise noted.
Total revenue in the first quarter increased 5% to $2.4 billion, compared to the prior year period driven primarily by 4% organic revenue growth in commissions and fees and 3% increase in commissions and fees related to acquisitions, net of divestitures, partially offset by a 2% unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.
Total operating expenses increased 10% to $2.0 billion compared to the prior year period due primarily to $144 million of restructuring costs, a $60 million increase in operating expenses related to acquisitions, net of divestitures, and an increase in expense to support 4% organic revenue growth, partially offset by a $42 million favorable impact from currency translation, a $12 million decrease in expense related to certain hedging programs, and $11 million of savings related to restructuring activities and operational initiatives.
Restructuring expenses were $144 million primarily driven by workforce reductions. The Company expects to invest $900 million in total cash over a three-year period, excluding $50 million of non-cash charges, in driving one operating model across the firm. This includes an estimated investment of $700 million of cash restructuring charges and $200 million of capital expenditures. To date, the Company has incurred 19% of the total estimated restructuring charges. An analysis of restructuring-related costs by type is detailed on page 13 of this press release.
Restructuring savings in the first quarter related to restructuring activities and other operational initiatives are estimated at $11 million. Before any potential reinvestment of savings, restructuring activities and other operational initiatives are expected to deliver run-rate savings of $400 million annually by the end of 2019. To date, the Company has achieved 3% of the total estimated restructuring related savings.
Foreign currency exchange rates in the first quarter had an immaterial impact per share, or $1 million pretax unfavorable impact on U.S. GAAP net income, and a $0.01 per share, or $3 million pretax, unfavorable impact on adjusted net income if the Company were to translate prior year quarter results at current quarter foreign exchange rates.
Effective tax rate used in the U.S. GAAP financial statements in the first quarter was 0.1%, compared to the prior year quarter of 15.9%. After adjusting to exclude the applicable tax impact associated with intangible asset amortization, restructuring charges and anticipated non-cash pension settlements in the fourth quarter, the adjusted effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2017 was 11.1% compared to 15.7% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to a $29 million, or $0.11 per share benefit from the required change in accounting for share-based compensation. The new guidance for share-based compensation requires all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies to be recognized as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and treated as discrete items in the reporting period. These adjustments are discussed in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Operating Income and Diluted Earnings per Share" on page 10 of this press release.
Average diluted shares outstanding decreased to 267.0 million in the first quarter compared to 273.7 million in the prior year quarter. The Company repurchased 1.1 million Class A Ordinary Shares for approximately $125 million in the quarter. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had $7.7 billion of remaining authorization under its share repurchase program.
FIRST QUARTER CASH FLOW SUMMARYCash flow from operations for the first three months of 2017 increased 26%, or $38 million, to $182 million compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by operational improvement, partially offset by $31 million of cash restructuring charges.
Free cash flow, defined as cash flow from operations less capital expenditures, increased 38%, or $41 million, to $148 million for the first three months of 2017 compared to the prior year period, reflecting growth in cash flow from operations and a $3 million decrease in capital expenditures. A reconciliation of free cash flow to cash flow from operations can be found in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Organic Revenue and Free Cash Flow" on page 9 of this press release.
FIRST QUARTER REVENUE REVIEWThe first quarter revenue reviews provided below include supplemental information related to organic revenue, which is described in detail in "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Measures - Organic Revenue and Free Cash Flow" on page 9 of this press release.
