Life insurance also made a significant contribution in 2025 (up 5.1%) – particularly in the international segment. In Austria, this resulted in a total growth in premiums of 4.8%, internationally even 9.8%.
UNIQA recorded exceptionally strong growth in earnings before taxes, which rose significantly by 16.9% to EUR 516.4 million. Net consolidated profit climbs by 22.2% to EUR 424.8 million. The main driver of this excellent trend is the continued improvement in the net combined ratio (combined ratio after relief from external reinsurance partners) – it now stands at a very good 91.7%. This positive development is due, among other things, to the virtual absence of natural catastrophes.
Key takeaways:
- Premiums written rise by 8.2% to EUR 8.36 billion
- Combined ratio continues to improve, reaching 91.7%
- Earnings before taxes up by 16.9% to EUR 516.4 million
- Net consolidated profit climbs by 22.2% to EUR 424.8 million
