(1) “Organic Revenue,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as commissions and fees less (i) the first twelve months of commission and fee revenues generated from acquisitions, less (ii) profit-sharing contingent commissions (revenues from insurance companies based upon the volume and the growth and/or profitability of the business placed with such companies during the prior year – “contingents”), less (iii) guaranteed supplemental commissions (commissions from insurance companies based solely upon the volume of the business placed with such companies during the current year – “GSCs”), and less (iv) divested business (net commissions and fees generated from offices and books of business sold by the Company) with the associated revenue removed from the corresponding period of the prior year. Organic Revenue can be expressed as a dollar amount or a percentage rate when describing Organic Revenue growth. We view Organic Revenue and Organic Revenue growth as important indicators when assessing and evaluating our performance on a consolidated basis and for each of our segments, because it allows us to determine a comparable, but non-GAAP, measurement of revenue growth that is associated with the revenue sources that were a part of our business in both the current and prior year and that are expected to continue in the future.

(2) “Diluted Net Income Per Share – Adjusted,” a non-GAAP measure, is defined as diluted net income per share, excluding the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables. We believe Diluted Net Income Per Share – Adjusted provides a meaningful representation of our operating performance and improves the comparability of our results between periods by excluding the impact of the change in estimated acquisition earn-out payables and certain other non-recurring or infrequently occurring items that have a high degree of variability from period-to-period and that we believe are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance.
Income before income taxes for the second quarter of 2020 was $129.4 million, an increase of $5.9 million, or 4.8%, and Income Before Income Taxes Margin(3) increased to 21.6% from 21.5% as compared to the second quarter of the prior year.
In order to provide a better understanding of our business, we evaluate EBITDAC(4) performance. We view EBITDAC and EBITDAC Margin(5) as important indicators when assessing and evaluating our performance, as they present more comparable, but non-GAAP, measurements of our operating margins in a meaningful and consistent manner. EBITDAC for the second quarter of 2020 was $176.7 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 4.8%, compared to the second quarter of the prior year. EBITDAC Margin increased to 29.5% in the second quarter of 2020, as compared to 29.3% in the second quarter of the prior year.
Income before income taxes for six months ended June 30, 2020 was $334.7 million, an increase of $62.7 million, or 23.1%, compared to the second quarter of the prior year. Income Before Income Taxes Margin increased to 25.8% from 22.8%, as compared to the second quarter of the prior year. EBITDAC for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $418.8 million, an increase of $53.1 million, or 14.5% as compared to the same period in 2019. EBITDAC Margin increased to 32.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, as compared to 30.6% in same period of 2019.
