Hannover Re’s latest Annual General Meeting (AGM) approved a proposal by the Executive Board and Supervisory Board to pay a dividend of €12.50 per share, reflecting the reinsurer’s latest dividend policy for the 2025 financial year.
The dividend is reported to be a 39% increase over the previous year, bringing the total payout to shareholders to approximately €1.5 billion.
All proposed resolutions were reportedly approved at the annual general meeting, with CEO Clemens Jungsthöfel stressing that despite challenging market conditions in 2025, the company will be able to grow profitably while significantly strengthening its resilience.
Hannover Re, one of Europe’s four largest reinsurance companies, saw its net profit increase by 13.4% to 2.6 billion euros in fiscal year 2025, and reinsurance revenue increased by 1.5% year-on-year to 26.8 billion euros, thanks to strong performance in the property and casualty insurance and life and health reinsurance sectors.
At constant exchange rates, total revenue growth will be stronger at 4.7%, while net reinsurance services results will increase significantly by 15.8% to reach €3.5 billion in 2025.
Jungsthöfel described the record year as a solid foundation for further continued success, adding that the company now has the strongest balance sheet in its 60-year history.
