Improving its combined ratio from 89.2% to 86.7%, the company had around 12 million policies in its portfolio at the end of 2022. The ARAG Group’s German business saw an 8.2% increase in premium income while its international insurance business expanded by 10%.

“The continued high premium growth is primarily attributable to the strong legal insurance segment – the largest unit in the group,” ARAG said. “This grew by 5.9% in the German market and by 7.5% in international business. The health insurance segment again delivered a strong growth impulse of 12.7% and is now the largest ARAG business unit in the German market. The composite segment also achieved a significant premium increase of 12.2%.”

In the first quarter of 2023, meanwhile, ARAG’s total premium income jumped 11.5% to €712.3 million.
