Revenues, in turn, increased by 5.3% to 48.4 billion euros, mainly due to an increase in business volume in the property and casualty insurance segment, which grew by 5.7% to 25.5 billion euros, driven by prices and strong underwriting.
The Life and Health insurance portfolio earned the company 21.1 billion euros, up 4.9%, thanks mainly to sales growth in the United States and Italy, while the asset management business volume grew by 4.7% to 2 billion euros.
Operating profit, in turn, showed a growth of 6.8%, to 3.986 billion euros, supported by the property and casualty insurance segment, as well as by the asset management area, the insurer said in a statement.
The solvency ratio of own funds according to the Solvency II supervisory standard stood at 203% at the end of March this year, compared to 206% in the same period last year, while the annualized return on equity (RoE) increased from 16.1% in 2023 to 17.4% this year.
In a statement, the insurer's CEO, Oliver Bäte, said that the strong results demonstrate "consistency in strategy execution", as well as "the quality of its fundamentals" and its "advantage in terms of talent and skills".
