In 2Q 2025, Allianz has delivered an excellent performance, characterized by strong growth and a record operating profit.

Our total business volume reached 44.5 (2Q 2024: 42.6) billion euros, an internal growth of 8.0 percent. All segments contributed to this attractive growth.

Operating profit rose 12.2 percent and reached a record level of 4.4 (3.9) billion euros, 28 percent of our full-year outlook midpoint.

Shareholders’ core net income advanced 17.3 percent to 3.0 (2.5) billion euros. This growth was driven by a higher operating profit and an improved non-operating result. Adjusted for the 0.3 billion euros disposal gain on the UniCredit Joint Venture, shareholders’ core net income increased 7.1 percent.

Allianz’s 6M 2025 results were excellent, delivering a record operating profit underpinned by double-digit internal growth.

Our total business volume expanded to 98.5 (6M 2024: 91.0) billion euros, an internal growth of 10.1percent, with particular strong growth in our Life/Health segment.

Operating profit was excellent at 8.6 (7.9) billion euros, a strong increase of 9.3 percent. The Property-Casualty business was the main growth driver but all business segments contributed.

Shareholders’ core net income advanced by 9.5 percent to a strong level of 5.5 (5.0) billion euros. Adjusted for a one-off tax provision related to the forthcoming sale of our stake in our Indian Joint Ventures in 1Q and the disposal gain on the UniCredit Joint Venture in 2Q, shareholders’ core net income was up by 6.2 percent.

Core earnings per share (EPS)[6] amounted to 13.99 (12.57) euros, an increase of 11.3 percent. Adjusted for the above-mentioned one-off tax provision and disposal gain, core earnings per share rose 7.9 percent.

Allianz has delivered an excellent annualized core return on equity (RoE)6 of 18.5 percent in 6M 2025 (full-year 2024: 16.9 percent). Adjusted for the effects of the one-off tax provision and disposal gain, the annualized core return on equity (RoE) was 17.9 percent.

This performance was achieved while we maintained a strong capitalization with a Solvency II ratio of 209 percent (1Q 2025: 208 percent), supported by excellent capital generation.

Outlook

Allianz is fully on track to achieve its full-year outlook of an operating profit of 16.0 billion euros, plus or minus 1 billion euros.

The operating profit grew to a record level of 2.3 (1.9) billion euros, an increase of 20 percent compared to the second quarter 2024. Growth was entirely driven by a higher insurance service result.

The combined ratio improved to an excellent level of 91.2 percent (93.5 percent). The loss ratio reached 67.4 percent (69.2 percent), a strong improvement of 1.9 percentage points. This performance was supported by benign natural catastrophes as well as underlying improvements, partly offset by a lower run-off result. The expense ratio developed favorably by 0.4 percentage points to 23.9 percent.

Retail showed a strong performance. It delivered very good internal growth of 7 percent while further improving its combined ratio to 91.8 percent (94.7 percent).

Underlying improvements driven by underwriting actions and slightly lower natural catastrophe losses overcompensated a lower run-off ratio. The expense ratio improved by 0.4 percentage points to 24.0 percent.

The performance of our retail and commercialbusinesses was strong.

In our retail business, internal growth reached 8 percent, while the combined ratio improved 2.0 percentage points to 91.8 percent, driven by our SME and non-motor businesses.
