“After the first three months of 2026, we have generated record quarterly net income and enhanced our profitability. At the same time, we still have a cushion of almost EUR 400 million in our large loss budget for the remaining months of the year”, said Dr Jan Wicke, CFO of Talanx.
The Talanx Group increased its net income by 28 percent to EUR 774 (604) million and its insurance revenue, adjusted for currency effects, by 3 per cent to EUR 12.1 (12.4) billion. Return on equity rose to 22.3 (20.1) per cent. The first quarter was characterised by a favourable claims experience (following exceptionally high loss payments in the same quarter of the previous year) and strong operating performance. All business segments contributed to profit growth. Primary insurance accounted for 53 percent of net income.
The Talanx Group has confirmed its profit target of around EUR 2.7 billion for 2026. This would mean it would achieve and exceed its profit forecast for 2027 a year earlier than planned.
