The German insurance group Talanx informed that based on its consolidated unaudited figures, it is expecting Group net income of EUR 1.58 billion. “This clearly surpasses the original annual target of approximately EUR 1.4 billion”.

According to the press released by the insurer, insurance revenue rose to EUR 43.2 billion vs. EUR 39.7 million. At the same time, “the return on equity of 16.6% clearly exceeds the strategic target of 10%. The positive trend in Group net income was driven by earnings growth in all divisions and large loss payments that remained within budget, plus inflation-related price increases”.

The Group will report on the dividend proposal by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board for financial year 2023 at its annual results press conference on 21 March 2024, where the final key financial figures and the audited consolidated financial statements for 2023 will also be presented. In keeping with its long-term dividend policy, the Board of Management is aiming to exceed the prior-year dividend payment of EUR 2 per share.

Talanx is confirming the outlook for Group net income of more than EUR 1.7 billion for the current year, 2024. This means that it will clearly exceed its 2025 Group net income target of around EUR 1.6 billion one year earlier than planned.
