The higher operating profit in the quarter was attributed to improved investment and underwriting results in the group’s property and casualty (P&C) division. Meanwhile, for the nine-month span, the decline in net income was mainly due to the AllianzGI U.S. Structured Alpha proceedings.
Broken down into business segments, the P&C unit delivered a 32% rise in operating profit in Q3; 13.5% in 9M. Meanwhile, life and health, as well as asset management, posted lower operating profit compared to the quarterly and nine-month figures in 2021.
Group boss Oliver Bäte commented: “Our excellent results this quarter again prove the resilience and strength of Allianz amid a dramatic geopolitical and market environment. Buoyed by outperformance in our property-casualty business, our operating profit and net income demonstrate to our stakeholders the benefits of our global scale and diversification, as well as our customer-centric strategy.
“Further, our capital management capabilities and balance sheet create valuable optionality for Allianz, allowing us to confidently confront a changing economic landscape.”
At the end of the third quarter, Allianz’s Solvency II capitalisation ratio stood at 199%.
