- Claire-Marie Coste-Lepoutre, Chief Financial Officer of Allianz SE

Allianz’s 12M 2025 results were excellent. Allianz sustained its momentum across all three segments and achieved a record operating profit.

Our total business volume expanded to 186.9 billion euros (12M 2024: 179.8 billion euros). Internal growth, which excludes the effects of foreign-currency translation as well as acquisitions and divestments, was strong at 8.1 percent, supported by growth across all segments.

Operating profit reached a record level of 17.4 (16.0) billion euros, an increase of 8.4 percent. The Property-Casualty business was the main growth driver and all business segments exceeded their full-year outlook midpoints.

Shareholders’ core net income rose by 10.9 percent to 11.1 (10.0) billion euros. Adjusted for a one-off tax provision related to the sale of our stake in our Indian Joint Ventures in 1Q 2025 and the divestment gain on the UniCredit Joint Venture in 2Q 2025, shareholders’ core net income was up by 9.3 percent.

Core earnings per share (EPS) 5 amounted to 28.61 (25.42) euros, an increase of 12.5 percent. Adjusted for the above-mentioned one-off tax provision and divestment gain, core earnings per share rose 10.8 percent.

Allianz has delivered an excellent core return on equity (RoE) 5 of 18.1 percent in 12M 2025 (12M 2024: 16.9 percent). Adjusted for the effects of the one-off tax provision and divestment gain, the core return on equity was 17.8 percent.

This performance was achieved while Allianz further strengthened its capitalization. The Solvency II ratio was 218 percent, an increase of 10 percentage points compared to full-year 2024 (209 percent) and 3Q 2025 (209 percent). This development was supported by excellent operating capital generation of 25 percentage points after tax/before dividend.

In 4Q 2025, Allianz delivered a strong performance, characterized by good growth across our three segments and excellent profitability.

Our total business volume amounted to 45.7 billion euros (4Q 2024: 45.9 billion euros). Internal growth was good at 6.5 percent and all segments contributed.

Operating profit rose 3.0 percent to 4.3 (4.2) billion euros, reaching 27 percent of our full-year outlook midpoint. The increase was mainly driven by excellent operating profit growth in our Property-Casualty business.

Shareholders’ core net income advanced 12.2 percent to 2.7 (2.4) billion euros. A higher operating profit and an improved non-operating result contributed.

Outlook

In 2026, Allianz targets an operating profit of 17.4 billion euros, plus or minus 1 billion euros.

Other

The Board of Management proposes a dividend per share of 17.10 euros (2024: 15.40 euros) for 2025, an increase of 11.0 percent from 2024.

On February 25, 2026, Allianz has announced a new share buy-back program of up to 2.5 billion euros.

• Excellent combined ratio supported by underwriting actions

In the 12M 2025 period, total business volume rose to 86.7 billion euros (12M 2024: 82.9 billion euros). Internal growth was very good at 8.2 percent.

Operating profit was excellent at 9.0 (7.9) billion euros, well exceeding our full-year outlook midpoint of 8.0 billion euros. Operating profit growth of 13.9 percent was almost exclusively driven by a higher operating insurance service result.

The loss ratio reached 68.3 percent, an improvement of 1.0 percentage point compared to prior year (69.3 percent). Lower natural catastrophe losses and underlying improvements from underwriting actions overcompensated a conservative run-off ratio.

The retail 6 business delivered excellent internal growth of 9 percent while our commercial 7 business grew by 7 percent.

The Contractual Service Margin (CSM) remained broadly stable at 55.7 billion euros compared to 55.6 billion euros 11 at the end of 2024. Very good normalized CSM growth of 5.2 percent was largely offset by foreign currency translation effects and non-economic movements.

• Operating profit good at 1.4 billion euros

Asset Management: Excellent third-party net inflows

Core messages Asset Management 12M 2025

• Operating profit increases 3 percent to 3.3 billion euros
• Cost-income ratio improves to 60.7 percent, ahead of full-year ambition of around 61 percent
• Excellent third-party net inflows of 139 billion euros

In 12M 2025, operating revenues increased to 8.5 billion euros (12M 2024: 8.3 billion euros), an internal growth of 5.9 percent. Growth was driven by higher AuM-driven revenues, which advanced by 8.3 percent adjusted for foreign currency translation effects. This was supported by higher average third-party AuM.

Operating profit rose to 3.3 (3.2) billion euros, up 3.3 percent, or 6.9 percent adjusted for foreign currency translation effects. The cost-income ratio (CIR) improved to a very good level of 60.7 percent (61.1 percent), ahead of our full-year ambition of around 61 percent. This development reflects strong underlying revenue momentum and management actions.

Third-party assets under management amounted to 1.990 (1.920) trillion euros as of December 31, 2025, reaching an all-time high. Excellent net inflows of 139 billion euros and positive market effects of 94 billion euros were partly offset by negative foreign currency translation effects of 170 billion euros. Average third-party assets under management amounted to 1.914 trillion euros, 5.8 percent above the 2024 average.
