ALLIANZ AG: Preliminary Figures for the Second Quarter
MUNICH, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 3, 2006--
Allianz Group: Preliminary figures for the second quarter of 2006
Allianz Group has continued to proceed its course of profitable growth
during the second quarter of 2006, according to preliminary figures. Total
revenues amounted to 24.1 (previous year's quarter: 23.7) billion euros. The
operating profit rose by 19 percent compared to previous year's figure from over
2.3 billion euros to almost 2.8 billion euros (previous year's quarter: 2.346
billion euros). Net income increased by 64 percent over the same period from 1.4
billion euros to about 2.3 billion euros. This already includes the
restructuring charges of the German insurance business. All operational segments
contributed to this improvement compared to previous year's figures.
Shareholders' equity of Allianz Group rose by 2.1 percent from 39.5 billion
euros as at December 31, 2005 to 40.3 billion euros.
"Based on the very good performance over all operational segments, we
expect higher earnings for 2006," commented Helmut Perlet, board member of
Allianz AG. "We are anticipating operating profits in excess of 9 billion euros
for the fiscal year 2006, with net income between 5.5 and 6.0 billion euros,"
explained Perlet.
The full interim report for the second quarter of 2006 will be published on
11 August 2006 and available on www.allianz.com.
