Footprint-wise, AD’s member count increased by 74 on a net basis during the quarter, primarily driven by its merger with The Commonwealth Group (TCG), first announced in September 2025. AD members also acquired nine fellow members and 14 companies outside of AD. 

“Our strong start to 2026 reflects growth across our divisions, driven by member expansion, increased engagement and the successful integration of The Commonwealth Group,” AD Chairman and CEO Bill Weisberg said. “We look forward to building on this momentum in the months ahead.”

AD’s member sales for the full year 2025 were $100 billion across the network’s — up approximately 20% vs. 2024.
