- The company's total assets under management rose by 25.2% to EUR821 billion, largely due to the inclusion of Conning and its affiliates.
- Generali (ARZGF) achieved over EUR5.1 billion in positive net inflows in the Life business, driven by protection and unit-linked products.
- The Property & Casualty segment saw a 10.5% increase in premiums, with a stable frequency and improving claims inflation across markets.
- Generali (ARZGF) announced a EUR500 million share buyback, reflecting a commitment to balancing shareholder remuneration with M&A activities.
- The adjusted net result decreased by 13.1% to EUR2 billion, primarily due to capital gains and one-offs recorded in the previous period.
- The Solvency 2 position was impacted by a 9-percentage-point deduction from the acquisition of Liberty Seguros and a 2-percentage-point deduction from share buybacks.
- The Life business experienced a significant reduction in saving outflows, indicating potential challenges in maintaining inflow momentum.
