Asia

  • Net results significantly above last year despite the impact of the decline in Asian equity markets in Q3

Q3 2015
  • Insurance net profit at EUR 109 million, down 54% compared to Q3 2014 due to lower realised capital gains and a EUR 62 million net impact from impairments on equities as announced on 21 October 2015
  • Group net profit at EUR 130 million

All 9 months 2015 figures are compared to the 9 months 2014 figures unless otherwise stated.

Ageas CEO Bart De Smet said: "Ageas's nine months figures confirmed continued growth in inflows, mainly driven by the Asian Life business. In Non-Life we achieved for a third quarter in a row a strong operational result leading to a significant improvement in the Group combined ratio. Lower investment results due to reduced levels of realised capital gains and equity impairments in the third quarter impacted our Life performance and consequently the Group net insurance result.
Taking out the volatility due to exceptional items from the last two quarters, the Group's nine-month financial performance remains strong."
