The industrial insurer HDI Global, which is part of the Talanx Group, is continuing its good performance in the 2023 financial year, showing strong revenue and earnings growth after nine months. The combined ratio improved to 92.7% compared to the same period last year. The insurance revenue generated amounted to EUR 6.6 billion. The return on equity amounted to 13.4% after nine months and was therefore above the strategic target of more than 10%.

Insurance revenue rose by 10% year-on-year to EUR 6.6 (6.0) billion, or 12% adjusted for currency effects. The increase can be attributed to growth in the property and liability business in particular. The insurance service result increased to EUR 481 (275) million and benefited from lower frequency and large losses as well as the rise in interest rates, which led to positive discounting effects in the loss reserves. Large losses fell to EUR 267 (316) million compared to the previous year and were EUR 16 million below the pro rata budget for the period. The combined ratio improved to 92.7% (95.4%). The net insurance financial and investment result before currency effects fell to EUR 22 (169) million compared to the same period in the previous year, mainly due to the increased interest on the loss reserves. The operating profit rose to EUR 293 (271) million and the contribution to the Group net income increased to EUR 243 (199) million. The return on equity after nine months amounted to 13.4% and was thus above the strategic target of more than 10%.
