Talanx's First-Half Results in 2025: 1.3 Billion Euros in Earnings, Insurance Revenues Increased by 5%
In the first half of 2025, the Talanx Group, a leading global insurance provider, recorded a remarkable net income of €1.37 billion. This impressive growth was primarily driven by a robust operating business performance, with normalized large loss payments and favourable currency effects in the second quarter playing significant roles [1][2][3][5].
All divisions within the Talanx Group contributed to this positive performance, with Primary Insurance accounting for approximately 51% and Reinsurance accounting for 49% of the net income. This balanced distribution underscores the Group's diversified structure [1][2][3][5].
The Group's strong performance has led to a revised net income outlook for the full year 2025. Talanx is now forecasting a net income of around €2.3 billion, an increase from the initial forecast of more than €2.1 billion [1][2][3][5].
Additionally, the Group expects a return on equity of approximately 18 percent. The insurance service result also saw a significant increase, rising 11 percent to €2.6 billion [1][2][3][5].
Adjusted for currency effects, insurance revenue rose by 5 percent (2 percent in nominal terms) to €24.2 billion. However, large loss payments in the first quarter were the highest in the Group's history, but they normalized in the second quarter [1][2][3][5].
Man-made large losses amounted to €369 million, while large losses from natural disasters totalled €764 million. Despite these losses, the Talanx Group remains confident of exceeding its full-year Group net income target for financial year 2025 [1][2][3][5].
However, it's important to note that the Talanx Group's net income forecast for the full year is subject to the condition that no turbulence occurs on the currency and capital markets, and that large losses remain in line with expectations [1][2][3][5].
The current geopolitical and macroeconomic situation presents an additional source of uncertainty [1]. Nevertheless, the Talanx Group is optimistic about its performance for the remainder of the year.
