Allianz Takes the Lead: Smashing 2025 Profit Target with Record Quarterly Results
Allianz hits new height in revenue generation
There's no stopping the unstoppable! Allianz has nailed it, breaking records left and right in the first quarter of the year. Life and health insurances are leading the charge, pushing the DAX company to soaring new heights. For its annual target, Allianz is as confident as a cat on a hot tin roof.
The insurance juggernaut is holding steadfast to its record operating trajectory. With a 6% hike to an eye-popping €4.24 billion euros, the operating result marks a towering high in Allianz's history. Analysts, predictably, expected as much. "We're keeping our growth mojo alive and kicking and maintaining those enticing margins across all segments," Chief Financial Officer Claire-Marie Coste-Lepoutre proudly stated. Allianz is well on its way to snagging its coveted operating profit goal of a cool €15 to €17 billion euros, having already snatched more than a quarter of it.
Total business volume has swollen by an impressive 12%, powered by life and health insurance. Net income attributable to shareholders in the first three months came in at €2.55 billion euros (2024: €2.51 billion euros), but Allianz had to bear a tax provision related to its Indian Bajaj Finserv joint venture exit. The insurer is on the prowl for a new dance partner there, seeking a partner with more sway and jettisoning its stakes in two joint ventures with Bajaj for a cool €2.6 billion euros.
Volatile markets didn't rattle Allianz one bit: "The robustness of our business model puts us in a rock-solid position to breeze through gnarly markets and a sketchy environment," Coste-Lepoutre pointed out. "Turbulence and change? More like a kick-starter for innovation and expansion, enabling us to seize new growth opportunities!" added CEO Oliver Baete.
Improvements in Loss Ratio
The property and casualty insurance segment, responsible for half the revenue and profit, enjoyed sterling growth with private customers outpacing commercial customers this time around. Overall, business volume inched up by 7%. The loss ratio showed a slight improvement to 91.8% (91.9% previously), surpassing the target of 93%.
In the life and health insurance segment, the present value of new business climbed by 17%, and the operating result improved by nearly 8%. In asset management, Pimco and Allianz Global Investors contributed €28.7 billion, but positive returns and currency effects were counterbalanced, keeping assets under management at a steady €1.91 trillion euros.
