Nine-month results show 9% volume growth and a 26% rise in consolidated profit, driven by strong P&C and international performance. Combined ratio remains below target, solvency is robust, and full-year guidance is maintained at the upper end.

Earnings before tax rose 7% to €296 million in H1 2025, driven by strong international growth, especially in Poland, and improved underwriting. Full-year pre-tax profit guidance was raised to €490–510 million, with robust solvency and investment performance.
-
Premiums grew 13% and return on equity reached 16.1% in Q1 2025, with strong technical performance and low claims driving an 11% EPS increase. Financial results were impacted by unrealized investment losses, but guidance remains optimistic for at least 6% EPS growth in 2025.
Fiscal Year 2024

Full-year 2024 saw over 9% premium growth, strong profitability, and a robust investment result, despite a major nat cat event. The solvency ratio remains high, and a progressive dividend increase is proposed, with a profit before tax target above EUR 500 million seen as realistic.
