According to preliminary consolidated unaudited data, Hannover Re parent company Talanx Group’s net profit increased 25% in fiscal 2025 to a record 2.48 billion euros.
The group attributed the performance to strong second-half operating results and good claims experience.
Talanx said primary insurance and reinsurance contributed equally to reported net profit.
Insurance revenue, adjusted for currency effects, will increase by 5% year-on-year to 49 billion euros in 2025. Return on equity is expected to be 19.7%, up from 17.9% in the prior year.
Talanx said it will announce the dividend proposal of the Management Board and Supervisory Board for the 2025 financial year when the audited annual financial statements are published on March 18, 2026.
The company added: “In line with its long-term dividend policy, the management board aims to exceed the figure for the previous year’s dividend and reflect a very strong performance for the current financial year.”
Against this background, Talanx reiterated its 2026 net profit target of approximately 2.7 billion euros, which it proposed in November 2025.
The group also said it was confident of reaching and exceeding its 2027 profit forecast of more than 2.5 billion euros a year earlier than planned.
