Based on preliminary consolidated unaudited figures, Talanx Group, the parent company of Hannover Re, increased its net income for the 2025 financial year by 25% to a record €2.48 billion.
The group attributed the result to strong operating performance and favourable claims experience in the second half of the year.
Both Primary Insurance and Reinsurance made equal contributions to the reported net income, Talanx said.
Insurance revenue, adjusted for currency effects, rose 5% year on year to €49 billion in 2025. Return on equity is expected to reach 19.7%, up from 17.9% in the prior year.
Talanx said it will announce the dividend proposal of the Board of Management and Supervisory Board for the 2025 financial year when it publishes its audited annual financial statements on 18 March 2026.
“In keeping with its long-term dividend policy, the Board of Management is aiming for a figure that exceeds the prior-year dividend and reflects the very strong performance for the financial year,” the firm added.
Against this backdrop, Talanx reaffirmed its net income target of approximately €2.7 billion for the current year, 2026, which it raised in November 2025.
The group also said it is confident of reaching and exceeding its 2027 earnings forecast of more than €2.5 billion one year earlier than planned.
