Talanx Group (Talanx) has achieved an unprecedented profit milestone, recording a net income of EUR 1,581 million for financial year 2023 (FY23), significantly outperforming its projected target of around EUR 1.4 billion.

The insurance group unveiled these figures in its preliminary unaudited financial results, highlighting a noteworthy uptick in insurance revenues to EUR 43.2 billion from the previous year’s EUR 39.7 billion.

This financial uplift translated to a robust return on equity rate of 16.6%, far surpassing the company’s strategic aim of 10%.

This financial upturn was underpinned by across-the-board earnings growth in all of Talanx’s divisions, effective management of large loss payments within the set budget, and adjustments in pricing to counter inflationary pressures, it stated.
