The Holding and other businesses operating result was € -276 million (€ -280 million 1H2025).
The adjusted net result2 increased strongly to € 2,543 million (+13.7%) thanks to the Group’s excellent operating performance. The net result grew significantly to € 2,538 million (+17.9%).
Adjusted EPS rose to € 1.68, with a 14.3% increase compared to 1H2025.
The Group’s shareholders' equity was € 32.1 billion (+0.1%), reflecting the net result for the period, the 2025 dividend payment and the share buyback related to the Long-Term Incentive Plan implemented during 1H 2026.
The Contractual Service Margin (CSM) rose to € 35.8 billion (€ 34.6 billion FY2025).
The Group’s Total Assets Under Management (AUM) reached € 944 billion (+4.9% FY2025).
The Group confirms its very solid capital position, with the Solvency Ratio at 216% (219% FY2025) underpinned by sound capital generation and reflecting the launch of the € 500 million buy-back, as well as the end of the subordinated bond grandfathering regime.
Life Segment
- Very strong Life net inflows at € 8.3 billion (+33.9%)
- Operating result rose to € 2.2 billion (+8.8%)
- New Business Margin was 5.86% (+0.72 p.p.); New Business Value grew to € 1,890 million (+21.1%)
Life gross written premiums grew to € 33,449 million (+5.5%). Growth was recorded in both, traditional savings (+15.8%), driven primarily by Asia (+57.8%) and Germany (+59.8%), and protection and health (+2.8%), supported by the positive performance in Germany (+4.4%), Asia (+7.4%), and CEE (+12.6%). The hybrid and unit-linked line was stable (+0.7%), driven by double digit growth in France (+14.4%).
Life Net inflows increased sharply to € 8,326 million (+33.9%) driven mainly by growth in traditional savings, which reached € 2,905 million, led by Asia. Protection & health grew to € 2,626 million thanks to the solid performance in Germany, Asia and Italy. Meanwhile hybrid & unit-linked net inflows rose to € 2,795 million, driven by the growth seen in France.
New business volumes (expressed in terms of present value of new business premiums - PVNBP) grew to € 32.3 billion (+6.3%), primarily thanks to the strong performance of traditional savings (+22.6%) in Asia and Germany and the performance of hybrid and unit-linked in France.
New Business Value (NBV) increased substantially to € 1,890 million (+21.1%), supported by both higher profitability and volumes. The New Business Margin on PVNBP (NBM) expanded to 5.86% (+0.72 p.p.) mainly thanks to the positive impact of a more favourable product mix and features, as well as higher interest rates.
The Life Contractual Service Margin (Life CSM) increased to € 34.8 billion (€ 33.6 billion FY2025). The positive development was mainly driven by the contribution of the Life New Business CSM of € 1,790 million, which, coupled with the expected return of € 760 million, more than offset the Life CSM release of € 1,696 million. The latter also represented the main driver (around 77%) of the operating result, which increased to € 2,194 million (€ 2,016 million 1H2025). The operating investment result increased to € 493 million (€ 408 million 1H2025).
P&C Segment
- Premiums increased to € 20 billion (+6.3%)
- Operating result grew to € 2,141 million (+4.7%)
- Combined Ratio at 91.5% (+0.5 p.p.) and Undiscounted Combined Ratio at 93.8% (+0.7 p.p.) both reflecting higher Nat Cat
P&C gross written premiums grew to € 20 billion (+6.3%) thanks to the performance of both business lines. Non-motor achieved widespread growth (+5.8%) across all main areas.
The motor line rose by 6.0% with particularly positive performances recorded in Germany and CEE. Excluding the contribution from Argentina, motor line premiums increased by 4.6%.
Redion direct premiums3 increased by 22.8% driven mainly by the US travel business and France as well as new partnerships.
The Combined Ratio was 91.5% (91.0% 1H2025). The improvement of the current year attritional loss ratio at 64.3% (-0.4 p.p.) and the higher benefit from discounting at -2.3% (-0.2 p.p.) were more than offset by higher Nat Cat losses, which accounted for 3.6% (1.7% 1H2025). The contribution from prior year loss ratio was -3.3% (-2.3% 1H2025). The expense ratio was broadly stable at 29.1% (+0.1 p.p.) with lower administrative costs compensating higher acquisition costs.
The Undiscounted combined ratio was 93.8% (93.1% 1H2025).
The operating result grew to € 2,141 million (€ 2,046 million 1H2025). The operating insurance service result increased to € 1,557 million (€ 1,536 million 1H2025). The operating investment result improved to € 585 million (€ 510 million 1H2025) thanks to higher volumes and investment yields.
Asset & Wealth Management Segment
- Asset & Wealth Management operating result increased to € 735 million (+31.3%)
- Banca Generali group operating result grew significantly to € 401 million (+45.8%)
- Asset Management operating result rose to € 334 million (+17.3%)
Asset Management operating result grew to € 334 million (+17.3%) thanks to higher average AUM and higher margins.
Operating revenues improved to € 808 million (+13.7%) thanks to the higher average value of AUM and an increase in the average fee margin. Operating expenses (+11.3%) also reflected the consolidation of MGG Investments and increased personnel costs.
The operating result of the Banca Generali group rose to € 401 million (+45.8%) also thanks to higher performance fees amounting to € 126 million (€ 42 million 1H2025). Total net inflows at Banca Generali in 1H2026 were € 4.4 billion.
The Asset Management adjusted net result rose to € 212 million (+30.5%) thanks to higher operating result and lower non-operating expenses related to integration and M&A costs.
The AUM pertaining to the Asset Management companies were € 740 billion (+3.9% FY2025) benefitting from positive net flows, favourable market effect and FX impact.
Third-party AUM reached € 287 billion reflecting positive net inflows of € 5.5 billion and favourable market conditions, including FX.
Holding and Other Businesses Segment
- Operating result stood at € -276 million
The Holding and other businesses operating result was € -276 million (€ -280 million 1H2025).
The operating result of Other businesses was € 114 million compared to € 81 million in 1H2025, which was impacted by a one-off exit tax payment related to the closure of a foreign entity. Operating expenses grew by 8.1% also due to higher personnel costs.
Balance Sheet and Capital Position
- Very solid capital position with the Solvency Ratio at 216% (219% FY2025)
- Continued healthy normalised capital generation at € 2.4 billion
The Group confirmed a very solid capital position with a Solvency Ratio at 216% (219% FY2025), underpinned by sound contribution from normalised capital generation (+9 p.p.). This reflected the impact of regulatory changes (-4 p.p.), market variances (-2 p.p.), non-economic variances (-2 p.p.) and capital movements (-3 p.p.).
The normalised capital generation, which includes the full impact from the share buy-back for the Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) fully executed in the first quarter, was supported by the performance of all business segments and increased to € 2.4 billion (€ 2.3 billion 1H2025) notwithstanding higher Nat Cat impact.
Outlook
On a global macroeconomic level, the transition from concerns over an energy shock to a more constructive recovery scenario has been halted temporarily by the breakdown of the truce previously agreed between the US and Iran. After a temporary soft patch, the Euro Area economy is expected to regain momentum in the second half of the year, while the US should remain a key engine of global growth, supported by robust investment in AI, a broader-based recovery in corporate spending and a stabilising labour market. While questions around the eventual monetisation of AI-related investment remain, capital expenditure continues to provide a meaningful tailwind to global activity for now.
Provided geopolitical tensions remain contained, the normalisation of energy prices should help decrease headline inflation. However, persistent underlying inflationary pressures still warrant a cautious approach from central banks, particularly in the US, where the economy continues to operate close to full capacity. The Federal Reserve’s hawkish tone at its June meeting suggests a rate increase later this year. In July, the European Central Bank (ECB) left its key policy rate unchanged at 2.25%, in line with market expectations, noting that energy prices remain broadly consistent with the baseline scenario underpinning its June projections. The ECB’s Governing Council still reiterated that uncertainty remains exceptionally elevated, given that the full effects of the energy shock have yet to unfold, particularly in regard to its persistence and possible second-round inflationary effects. Markets are pricing two more possible hikes this year, but a more subdued path now depends on diplomatic progress in Iran. Given the looming uncertainty regarding the oil prices, growth is expected to decrease by 0.1 p.p. in 2026 for both the Euro Area and the world economy, bringing growth forecasts to 0.7% and 2.7% respectively.
Halfway into the Lifetime Partner 27: Driving Excellence strategic plan, Generali continues to execute its strategic priorities successfully, with underlying market trends staying in line with the plan’s assumptions and supporting continued business development. In addition, the rapid acceleration of AI adoption is creating new opportunities to enhance customer experience, productivity and innovation, reinforcing the importance of execution excellence and adaptability. The Group also remains deeply committed to the strategic plan’s people and sustainability foundations, continuing to invest in skills, leadership, culture and sustainable value creation as key enablers of long-term success.
In Life, capitalising on Generali’s broad global customer base and strong distribution footprint, Generali’s focus remains on improving technical proficiency and on simplification, offering updated and integrated solutions to adapt to evolving customer needs throughout their lifetime. The main areas of focus include protection and health products, as well as capital-light savings solutions, with the goal of becoming the partner of choice for each customer. The Group’s hybrid and unit-linked offers continue to be a priority to address growing customer needs for financial security with the objective to become the go-to partner for retirement and savings.
In P&C, the Group’s objective is to maximise profitable growth - with a focus on non-motor lines - across the insurance markets where it operates, strengthening its position and offering, especially in countries with high growth potential. The Group confirms and reinforces its flexible approach to tariff adjustments, also considering a general increase in Nat Cat events. The non-motor offer will continue to be enhanced through the addition of modular solutions designed to address specific customer needs. Generali will continue to increase its focus on developing insurance solutions related to the environment and climate change. The Group Climate Hub plays a key role in the delivery of these efforts with the enhancement of methodologies and approaches to understand and manage physical risks.
With reference to investment policy, the Group continues to pursue an asset allocation strategy aimed at ensuring consistency with policyholder liabilities and improving risk-adjusted returns with a focus on increasing current income. Investments in private and real assets will continue to be pursued gradually to enhance portfolio diversification and capture opportunities, with a prudent approach that takes into account the lower liquidity and higher complexity of these instruments. In real estate, the Group pursues a policy of geographical and sectorial diversification, closely monitoring and evaluating market opportunities and asset quality.
Within Asset & Wealth Management, Asset Management continues to expand its product offering, such as entering the active ETF segment, while maintaining a strong focus on private and real assets, strengthening its distribution network and further improving the quality of service provided to clients. In Wealth Management, Banca Generali group continues to pursue its organic growth strategy, while also leveraging the opportunities arising from the integration of Intermonte, the partnership with Alleanza in the insurbanking segment, and the adoption of AI as a key driver of innovation and productivity. The Group remains committed to delivering a solid level of shareholder remuneration.

- strong earnings growth: 8-10% EPS CAGR4;
