1977: The cowboy on the cover page of the Annual Report proudly illustrated Allianz's market entry to the US. 2012: From the United States to China and from Russia to Australia – Allianz, as one of the world's leading insurance companies, operates in about 70 countries today.
Inter i m R eport F i rst Quarter o f 2012 | A l l i a n z g r o u p 2 G roup M anagement R eport
The Allianz Group consists of its operating subsidiaries in about 70 countries and the parent company, Allianz SE. The Group's results are reported by business segment: Property-Casualty insurance, Life/Health insurance, Asset Management and Corporate and Other activities. Although the majority of profits are still derived from our insurance operations, contributions from Asset Management have grown steadily over recent years. In response to the significant scale of our Asset Management business, we implemented, as of 1 January 2012, a new structure with our PIMCO and AllianzGI business units under the common roof of Allianz Asset Management Holding (AAM ).
A low level of natural catastrophes and improved market conditions resulted in a very good start for Allianz in 2012.
After several years of rather active first quarters with respect to natural catastrophes, the first quarter of 2012 was relatively benign. This is in contrast to the first quarter of 2011, which had been affected by severe natural catastrophe claims.
With an apparent lull in the European sovereign debt crisis, there was an upswing in almost all major equity markets in the first quarter of 2012. Interest rates, however, did not follow a clear direction. They remained low in Germany, increased in the United States but fell in Italy and France. Throughout 2011, many credit spreads had widened as a reaction
1 | Solvency according to the E.U. Financial Conglomerates Directive. Off-balance sheet reserves are accepted by the authorities as eligible capital only upon request. Allianz SE has not submitted an application so far. Excluding off-balance sheet reserves, the solvency ratio as of 31 March 2012 would be 174% (31 December 2011: 170%; 31 December 2010: 164%).

to the European sovereign debt crisis. During the first quarter of 2012, however, selected sovereign and corporate credit spreads lowered. Thanks in part to the overall improved market conditions, we also saw an increase in our investment result.
Clearly, however, the debt crisis is not over yet and we saw the lingering market impacts from 2011 still affecting the demand for investment related life products.
We recorded Total revenues of € 30.1 bn. On an internal basis 1 these remained relatively stable, down by just 0.8 %. Higher Property-Casualty and Asset Management revenues were offset by lower sales of Life/Health investment oriented products.
Solid growth in all major operating segments led to an increase of our Op er at ing profit by 40.4 % to € 2,330 mn. Property-Casualty contributed the most to this growth, as our result in the same quarter of the previous year had been heavily impacted by high losses from natural catastrophes. Life/Health also showed a strong increase in operating profit, supported by a higher investment result. Asset Management again demonstrated outstanding performance, supported by higher assets under management.
Overall, our ne t income increased 57.9 % to € 1,445 mn due to solid results in all major operating segments and a moderating impact from non-operating items.
We further strengthened our capitalization. Shareholder's equity rose 7.4 % to € 48,245 mn compared to 31 December 2011. Our conglomerate solvency stood at 183 %. 2
Propert y- Casualt y gross premiums written generated strong internal growth of 2.5 %. Volume and pricing effects were both positive at 1.3 % and 1.2 %, respectively. Most of the growth stemmed from Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AG CS), our subsidiary in Australia and our Credit Insurance business.
L i fe/Health statutory premiums were impacted by the effects from the continuing difficult market environment in the first quarter of 2012, resulting in a decline of 5.0 % on an internal basis. Lower sales of investment-oriented products accounted for nearly all of this decrease, especially in Italy and Asia-Pacific. Our traditional business, however, remained stable.
1 | Internal total revenue growth excludes the effects of foreign currency translation as well as acquisitions and disposals. Please refer to page 43 for a reconciliation of nominal total revenue growth to internal total revenue growth for each of our segments and the Allianz Group as a whole.
2 | Solvency according to the E.U. Financial Conglomerates Directive. Off-balance sheet reserves are accepted by the authorities as eligible capital only upon request. Allianz SE has not submitted an application so far. Excluding off-balance sheet reserves, the solvency ratio as of 31 March 2012 would be 174%.
3 | Total revenues comprise statutory gross premiums written in Property-Casualty and in Life/Health, operating revenues in Asset Management and total revenues in Corporate and Other (Banking).
4 | Total revenues include € (37) mn, € (40) mn and € (27) mn from consolidation for 1Q 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In As s e t Management we grew by 8.4 % on an internal basis, benefiting from higher assets under management. As of 31 March 2012, total assets under management amounted to € 1,653 bn. Third-party net inflows for the first three months of this year totaled almost € 24 bn.
Total revenues from our Banking operations (reported in our Corporate and Other segment) stood at € 155 mn, up by 2.7 % on an internal basis.
Propert y- Casualt y operating profit improved by € 526 mn to € 1,189 mn. Our underwriting result rebounded by € 513 mn thanks to lower losses from natural catastrophes. Our combined ratio likewise improved from 101.3 % to 96.2 %. Our operating investment income remained stable.
L i fe/Health operating profit grew by € 124 mn to € 826 mn, mainly due to an increased investment result. This positive development was primarily supported by higher realized gains.
As s e t Management continued to deliver outstanding performance. Operating profit grew 16.1 % to € 613 mn (10.3 % on an internal basis), reflecting growth in our assets under management and in our margins as well as the operational effectiveness of our business. The cost-income ratio of 57.4 % remained at an excellent level.
Corporate and Other operating loss increased by € 61 mn to € 284 mn, driven mainly by declines in Holding & Treasury and in our Banking business.
Our non-operating Result improved by € 79 mn to a loss of € 95 mn, driven largely by lower Acquisition-related expenses and a slightly better non-operating investme nt Re sult.
Re alized gains and losses (ne t ) declined by € 270 mn to € 116 mn, mainly due to lower realized gains from debt securities (down by € 125 mn) and equities (down by € 107 mn). The decrease in realized gains from equities resulted primarily from € 129 mn in capital gains from the sale of shares in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) recorded in the first quarter of 2011.
income from financial asse t s and liabilities carried at fair value through income (NE T) increased by € 324 mn to € 228 mn. Of this change, € 263 mn was related to the valuation of The Hartford warrants. The valuation of The Hartford warrants in the current quarter resulted in income of € 180 mn. For further information regarding the sale of The Hartford warrants and debentures, please refer to the Events after the Balance Sheet Date on page 9.
impairment s (ne t) amounted to € 123 mn, up by € 40 mn. Equity impairments increased by € 59 mn, primarily due to impairments of our investments in the financial sector.
acquisition-relate d expenses decreased by € 89 mn to € 12 mn, largely due to lower PIMCO B-unit expenses 1 . We purchased a further 7,210 B-units in the first quarter of 2012. We have now acquired 93.8 % of all outstanding B-units, with only 9,305 B-units still outstanding. The fall in expenses was mostly driven by the following components:
The income ta x expenses increased by € 219 mn to € 790 mn due to a higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate amounted to 35.3 % (1Q 2011: 38.4 %). This represents a decrease of about 3 percentage points, mainly because we had significant losses from natural catastrophes in jurisdictions with low average tax rates in the same period in 2011. The effective tax rate was above the expected level due to trade and prior year taxes in the first quarter of 2012.
n e t income increased by € 530 mn to € 1,445 mn, largely driven by our solid operating profit and, to a lesser extent, the improved non-operating result.
Ne t income att ributable to shar eholders and non-controlling int eres t s amounted to € 1,371 mn (1Q 2011: € 857 mn) and € 74 mn (1Q 2011: € 58 mn), respectively. The net income attributable to non-controlling interests related largely to Euler Hermes.
1 | When PIMCO was acquired, B-units were created, entitling senior management to profit participation. Under the B-unit plan, Allianz has the right to call, while PIMCO senior management has the right to put those B-units over several years. Fair value changes due to changes in operating earnings are reflected in acquisition-related expenses. The marginal difference between a higher call versus the put price upon any exercise, which is partially linked to the adherence to certain parameters, and distributions received by the senior management B-unit holders, is also included in our acquisition-related expenses.

Risk management is an integral part of our business processes and supports our value-based management. For further information we refer you to the Risk Report in our 2011 Annual Report. The Allianz Group's management feels comfortable with the Group's overall risk profile and is confident that the Group's risk management framework can meet the challenges of a rapidly changing environment as well as day-to-day business needs. However, we would like to highlight below two specific areas related to the 2011 Risk Report:
Although markets improved somewhat in the first quarter of 2012, the fundamental or underlying risks described therein remain much the same, especially those associated with the European sovereign debt crisis, which continues to cause a higher level of volatility for sovereign spreads and the general markets. In addition, with the exception of the affected sovereign issuers, interest rates have generally fallen – especially in Germany – as a consequence of an accommodative monetary policy. Credit and equity market risk perceptions also remain volatile, especially for those financial issuers which are potentially most affected by the crisis.
These factors may continue to have adverse implications on our business development, existing asset values and the theoretical value of our liabilities. In addition to continuously monitoring these developments, management has responded to the external events by, for example, reviewing new business pricing in the Life/Health segment, selectively reducing non-domestic sovereign bond exposures and reducing exposure limits for potentially affected corporate and financial services bond issuers, amongst other actions.
Although the final Solvency II rules are still being discussed, Allianz has nonetheless taken the opportunity of updating our internal model in the first quarter to better reflect the current draft proposal. This has led us to make a large number of partially offsetting changes.
Ignoring market developments and focusing only on these model changes, our 4Q 2011 restated economic solvency ratio on a 99.5 % confidence interval would improve from 184 % to 198 %, driven by a reduction in required capital of € 2.5 bn, which was offset to a certain extent by a reduction in available financial resources of € 1.2 bn. The following briefly summarizes the most important model changes implemented in the first quarter to better align our internal model with Solvency II, for example regarding the confidence interval, available financial resources and internal capital model, with effects measured relative to 4Q 2011 numbers excluding the impact of subsequent market developments.
First, the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) under Solvency II is designed to represent the worst case loss within a 99.5 % confidence interval. In order to align our internal and external communications, we will, in the future, be disclosing the results of our internal model based on the 99.5 % confidence interval, as opposed to 99.97 %, which was historically reported. Based on 4Q 2011 results excluding market developments and all model changes, the change from a 99.97 % to a 99.5 % confidence interval leads to a decrease in our required risk capital figures from € 34.5 bn by € 7.8 bn to € 26.7 bn.
Second, with respect to Allianz's internal capital model used for calculating the SCR, the aggregate impact of all model changes (but excluding market developments) leads to a reduction in risk capital at 99.5 % confidence interval of € 2.5 bn, from € 26.7 bn to € 24.2 bn, based on 4Q 2011 balances. Changes to our market risk models increased SCR requirements by € 1.3 bn, especially the introduction of higher interest rate shocks offset only partially by the recognition of the risk mitigating effects of the Counter-Cyclical Premium. Similarly, credit risk capital also increased by € 0.3 bn due to an update of parameters and models. Underwriting risk capital decreased by € 0.1 bn, driven by higher longevity shocks offset by greater diversification. Business risk was the area most affected by the model changes, with a net reduction in SCR requirements of € 3.3 bn, primarily stemming from the introduction of our Operational Risk internal model and the removal of cost risk allocated to the Asset Management segment. Finally, we have also implemented a conservative recognition of the contingent effects of a large loss on our tax position, leading to a further reduction in modeled risk capital of € 0.6 bn (differences in sum of € 0.1 bn to the total effect of € 2.5 bn due to rounding).
Finally, with respect to the recognition of Available Financial Resources (AFR), we are now reporting our AFR including the recognition of restrictions on transferability and fungibility as prescribed by Solvency II, even though we continue to believe that such restrictions are not economically appropriate. The impact of these restrictions (minus € 7.4 bn) has been partially offset by other model changes, including starting the extrapolation of the Euro yield curve beginning in year 20 (€ 2.8 bn) and the introduction of the Going Concern Reserve for our German Life business (€ 4.3 bn), leading, together with further changes (total effect of minus € 0.9 bn), to a net reduction in AFR of € 1.2 bn (excluding market developments).
In April 2012, Allianz Finance II B.V., a 100 % subsidiary of Allianz SE, called for redemption of a € 2 bn subordinated bond, effective 31 May 2012.
In April 2012, the U.S. insurer The Hartford bought back warrants and debentures in the amount of U.S. Dollar 2.4 bn. The repurchase transaction was entered into on 30 March 2012 and closed on 17 April 2012.
The warrants were recognized as financial assets carried at fair value through income. At the balance sheet date, the fair value reflected the sale proceeds; thus the gain from disposal was already included in the consolidated financial statements of the first quarter of 2012 with an impact on net income of approximately € 0.1 bn.
The debentures were recorded at amortized cost and derecognized at the closing date of the transaction, 17 April 2012. At this date, i.e. in the second quarter of 2012, the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount was recognized as a gain in the consolidated income statement with an impact on net income of approximately € 0.1 bn.
In April 2012, the Allianz Group placed a three-year catastrophe bond through the new Blue Danube Ltd. program with a total volume of U.S. Dollar 240 mn. The bond was issued in two tranches of U.S. Dollar 120 mn each and protects Allianz Group against the risk of loss from certain hurricane events in the United States, the Caribbean and Mexico, as well as certain earthquake events in the United States and Canada.
During April 2012, several tornados caused severe damage in various states of the United States. As of today, the Allianz Group expects an approximate net loss of € 66 mn.
In April 2012, Allianz Real Estate GmbH entered on behalf of various Allianz insurance companies into a number of strategic real estate investments in Germany with a total volume of approximately € 600 mn.

Gross premiums written amounted to € 14,797 mn – up 3.8 % – reflecting both positive price and volume effects. The internal growth of 2.5 % stemmed primarily from Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty (AGCS), our subsidiary in Australia and our Credit Insurance business.
Our operating profit increased € 526 mn or 79.3 % to € 1,189 mn. The underwriting result improved by € 513 mn, due to significantly lower losses from natural catastrophes. Our operating investment income remained stable.
The combined ratio was 96.2 %, compared to 101.3 % in the first quarter of the previous year. This improvement was supported by considerably lower losses from natural catastrophes, as well as a positive price development but was partly offset by less favorable run-off.
Gross premiums written increased by 2.5 %, supported by a positive volume effect of 1.3 % and a positive price effect of 1.2 %. Most of the growth in gross premiums came from AGCS, our subsidiary in Australia and our Credit Insurance business. However, this was partially offset by reductions in Central and Eastern Europe and the Netherlands.
On a nominal basis, gross premiums written grew by 3.8 % – or € 546 mn – to € 14,797 mn. Favorable foreign currency translation effects accounted for € 165 mn of this growth, largely due to the appreciation of the Swiss Franc and the Australian Dollar against the Euro. 2
Analyzing internal premium growth in terms of price and volume, we use four clusters based on 1Q 2012 internal growth over 1Q 2011:
Overall growth – both price and volume effects are positive.
Overall growth – either price or volume effects are positive.
Overall decline – either price or volume effects are positive.
Overall decline – both price and volume effects are negative.

2 | Based on the quarterly average exchange rates of 2012 compared to 2011.
4 | Allianz Risk Transfer (ART) now shown within AGCS. Previous years were adjusted accordingly.
3 | Before elimination of transactions between Allianz Group companies in different geographic regions and different segments.
At AGCS , gross premiums increased to € 1,624 mn, up by 13.5 %. This strong volume growth was driven by our single premium Allianz Risk Transfer (ART ) fronting business, as well as our property and marine lines. Further growth resulted from the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar and Swiss Franc against the Euro. We estimate an overall positive price effect of 0.4 %.
In Aust r al ia , gross premiums amounted to € 675 mn. Even after adjusting for foreign currency translation effects of € 59 mn, gross premiums went up by 13.1 %. This strong growth was driven by a significant volume increase in both retail and commercial lines through agent and broker distribution channels. The overall price effect was positive, at about 3.9 %, in part reflecting higher charges due to the high level of natural catastrophes in 2011.
In the United Kingd om, gross premiums stood at € 568 mn, including € 13 mn of favorable foreign currency translation effects. We achieved strong growth of 6.7 %, reflecting an upswing in both the retail and commercial lines of our motor business. Tariff increases, mainly in our motor business, continued to support this overall growth and led to a positive price effect of around 3.4 %.
In the United Stat e s , we recorded gross premiums of € 656 mn, including positive foreign currency translation effects of € 28 mn. The growth of 3.8 % stemmed mostly from our crop business, as a result of higher commodity prices, and our commercial lines. This partially compensated for volume losses in our personal lines. We estimate a positive price effect of approximately 1.6 %.
In South America , gross premiums increased to € 514 mn. We grew by 3.4 %, with Argentina and Colombia accounting for most of this positive development. Gross premiums in Brazil declined as we did not underwrite as many large risks as in the first quarter 2011. Excluding this effect, Brazil also contributed positively.
In our Credit Insu r ance business, gross premiums amounted to € 591 mn, up by 10.5 % thanks to an increase in insured turnover and new customer growth. Price decreases and slightly higher rebates to our customers led to a negative price effect of about 2.4 %.
In Asia- Pacific , gross premiums totaled € 152 mn. Our growth of 9.8 % was mainly driven by the strong volume development at our Malaysian motor business. The negative price effect was estimated at 2.1 %.
In Italy, gross premiums increased 1.5 % to € 953 mn reflecting tariff increases in our motor business and double-digit growth in direct channels. This more than offset volume losses resulting from our non-motor business due to the highly competitive market and our strict underwriting guidelines. We estimate the overall price effect to be 2.7 %.
In GERMANY, we recorded gross premiums of € 3,893 mn, an increase of 0.8 %. The growth mainly resulted from our commercial lines. However, our personal lines fell slightly, due to a lower level of accident business with premium refunds, while our personal motor operations remained stable. Price increases in our non-motor business led to a positive price effect of approximately 3.3 %.
In Switzerl an d, gross premiums stood at € 976 mn, including positive foreign currency translation effects of € 61 mn. We grew by 0.2 %, benefiting from stable progress in other business lines, despite a decline in our accident business. The overall price effect was negative at around 0.6 %.
In Fr ance , gross premiums remained unchanged at € 1,138 mn. We estimate a positive price effect of about 3.4 % due to tariff increases, in particular in our non-motor business.
In Spain, gross premiums went down 3.8 % to € 607 mn. The ongoing economic recession put intense pressure on prices, especially in the highly competitive motor and commercial lines. This led to a negative price effect of around 7.5 %.
In Central and Eastern Europe , we generated gross premiums of € 710 mn, including unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of € 20 mn. The overall decline in our motor business in Hungary and our health business in Russia resulted in a negative internal growth of 4.5 %. The price effect was negative – at around 1.4 % – and was caused by unfavorable developments in Romania and the Czech Republic.
Operating profit | in � mn
We analyze the operating profit in the Property-Casualty segment in terms of underwriting result, operating investment income and other result. 1
| Three months ended 31 March in € mn | 2012 | 2011 |

| Underwriting result | 333 | (180) |
| Operating investment income | 839 | 823 |
| Other result | 17 | 20 |
| Operating profit | 1,189 | 663 |
Operating profit increased by € 526 mn to € 1,189 mn.
Our underwriting re sult improved by € 513 mn to € 333 mn, mainly due to significantly lower losses from natural catastrophes. Positive price movements also contributed positively. This upswing was partially offset by a less favorable run-off, partly due to higher loss estimates from the 2011 Thailand floods.
Our operating investment income of € 839 mn was up slightly, largely attributable to increased income in debt instruments.
The combined ratio stood at 96.2 % compared to 101.3 % in the first quarter of the previous year. Considerably lower losses from natural catastrophes and a positive price development were partly outweighed by a less favorable run-off.
Our accident year loss ratio was 70.9%. The impact from natural catastrophes was rather benign at only 0.4 percentage points. Net losses from these natural catastrophes amounted to € 42 mn. In comparison, we recorded severe losses from natural catastrophes in the first quarter of 2011, largely driven by the earthquakes in Japan and New Zealand as well as the floods in Australia. The total losses from natural catastrophes in the first quarter of 2011 amounted to € 737 mn, or 7.6 percentage points of the accident year loss ratio of 77.2 %.

Excluding natural catastrophes, our accident year loss ratio went up by 0.9 percentage points. This was mainly due to unfavorable changes in claims frequency and severity, mainly stemming from the high volume of tap water claims in Germany as well as a changed business mix in the United States due to notable growth in our crop business – which carries structurally higher loss ratios but also lower expense ratios – and in our commercial lines, where we experienced higher losses , in particular in workers' compensation. The mentioned negative effects were partly offset by the overall higher average annual premium.
The following operations contributed positively to the development of the accident year loss ratio:
The following operations contributed negatively to the development of the accident year loss ratio:
Our run-off result was negatively affected by an overall increase of approximately € 80 mn for the estimated ultimate loss for the 2011 Thailand floods. Adjusting for this effect, the run-off result was relatively stable.
Total expenses stood at € 2,812 mn (1Q 2011: € 2,708 mn). Our expense ratio was almost flat at 27.9 %.

| Operating investment income | 839 | 823 |
Operating investment income increased by € 16 mn to € 839 mn, mainly driven by higher interest and similar income (net of interest expenses).
Interest and similar income (net of interest expenses) improved by € 32 mn to € 928 mn due to increased income on debt instruments. The total average asset base 3 grew by 3.7 % – from € 95.3 bn in the first quarter of 2011 to € 98.8 bn in the first quarter of 2012.
Operating income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net) fell by € 17 mn to € 2 mn. The decrease was driven by a negative development on hedging effects partly compensated by a better foreign currency result.
We recorded lower operating realized gains/losses (net) of € 5 mn compared to € 9 mn in the first quarter of 2011.

Allianz offers a broad range of life, savings and investment-oriented products including individual and group life insurance contracts. Via our distribution channels – mainly tied agents, brokers and bank partnerships – we offer life and health products for both private and corporate clients. As one of the worldwide market leaders in life business we serve customers in more than 45 countries. In 17 countries, we are one of the market leaders based on premiums.
STATUTORY Prem iums decreased from € 14,270 mn to € 13,699 mn. On an internal basis 2 , premiums declined by 5.0 %, which excludes positive foreign currency effects of € 165 mn, and was mainly impacted by the drop in sales of investment-oriented products in Italy, Taiwan and Japan. This reflected the overall market trend of increased competition, especially in the bancassurance channel where banks are pushing sales of their own products rather than insurance products. In addition, we stopped selling new business in Japan. However, our traditional Life/Health business held firm. As we continue to focus on our margin, product pricing actions will continue to be taken in order to maintain profitability.
Our Operat ing prof it increased by € 124 mn to € 826 mn, mainly due to an increase in the investment result.
Margin on re serve s increased from 69 to 78 basis points, driven by the improvement of operating profit.
1 | Represents operating profit (loss) divided by the average of the current and prior quarter net reserves, whereby net reserves equal reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses, reserves for insurance and investment contracts and financial liabilities for unit-linked contracts less reinsurance assets.
In the following section, we comment on the development of our statutory premiums written on an internal basis, i.e. adjusted for foreign currency translation and (de-)consolidation effects in order to provide more comparable information.
Statutory prem iums – Internal growth rate s in selected mar ke ts 1,2 | in %
Premiums in Centra l and east ern europ e increased 57.6 % and amounted to € 424 mn. Both our traditional as well as investment-oriented business saw positive growth in premiums. Poland, which contributed € 128 mn to internal growth, generated higher sales of deposit business and index-linked products. This was partially offset by lower sales of unitlinked products. In Hungary, premium growth of € 26 mn was driven by two single premium investment product campaigns.
In Belgium /Lu xe mbour g, we recorded premiums of € 374 mn, an increase of 16.9 % or € 54 mn, stemming from our investment-oriented products. Growth in Luxembourg Life (€ 66 mn) was partly offset by negative growth in Belgium Life.
Premiums in Franc e increased 4.3 % and amounted to € 2,018 mn. Our investment-oriented products contributed the most while traditional business remained stable. Premiums from group pension products primarily helped boost the revenues. While we had good performance from financial advisors, we saw negative developments in the tied agent channel. Overall, we performed better than the French market, which continued to be impacted by fiscal uncertainties due to the presidential elections and pressure from banks to offer on-balance sheet products.
In Switzerl and, we recorded a premium increase of 4.3 % to € 1,030 mn. Our group life business achieved particularly good results. Both regular and single premium business contributed to this positive development.
In our German life business, premiums increased 0.5 % to € 3,940 mn. Traditional life business remained stable while premiums from investment-oriented products increased. We had a slight decrease in new business premiums which was entirely attributable to the weakening single premium business, whereas regular premium business slightly increased. Premiums from German health business were up 2.5 % – mainly due to price increases and new business in supplementary insurance, while customers with full coverage insurance decreased.
Premiums in the United state s remained relatively unchanged and amounted to € 2,023 mn. Sales of fixed-indexed annuities were still at a low level in January 2012 due to product changes introduced in September 2011, but picked up in the following months. This was compensated for by a higher level of variable annuity sales in January 2012 after the announcement of product changes in the same month. However, variable annuity sales returned to a more normal level in February and March.
2 | Starting from the first quarter of 2010, Luxembourg Life was consolidated into Belgium for reporting purposes.
Despite a difficult market environment, due to the continuing recession and austerity measures, Spain recorded a moderate decline in premiums of 2.7 % which amounted to € 250 mn. Overall, investment-oriented products saw negative premium growth while traditional Life business increased slightly. We had an increase in premiums from pension business, although not enough to compensate for declines in saving and investment products.
Premiums in As ia-pacific amounted to € 1,164 mn, a decline of 20.3 %, affected by Japan and the slowing of sales in Taiwan and South Korea. In Japan, premiums dropped by € 203 mn as no new business premiums were recorded in 2012. Taiwan recorded a premium decrease of € 136 mn on an internal basis. This was mainly due to the decrease in unit-linked business without guarantees through agency and bancassurance channels, as competitors offered what we believe are unsustainable guarantee products. The decrease in South Korea of € 20 mn was largely caused by our traditional business and the slowing new business sales since last year.
In italy, premiums fell 36.6 % – or € 731 mn – and amounted to € 1,267 mn. The market remains very difficult due to the worsening economic environment and bancassurance business where banks focus on selling their own products rather than insurance products. All this put severe downward pressure on premiums and translated into a drop in sales of investment-oriented products. Nevertheless, traditional business remained almost stable and we recorded positive growth in our agent channel, outperforming the market.
Our Operating prof i t amounted to € 826 mn, an increase of € 124 mn, largely driven by a higher investment result.
Intere st and si milar income net of intere st expense s grew by € 235 mn and amounted to € 4,042 mn. This was mainly due to higher interest from debt investments – reflecting the higher asset base – as well as higher dividend income from available-for-sale investments and income from associated enterprises.
Operating income from financial asse t s and liabilitie s carried at fair value throu gh income (net) remained flat at a loss of € 162 mn. Higher valuation and yields on debt and equity securities were offset mainly by a negative impact from hedging on equities.
Operating realized gains and loss e s (net) increased by € 349 mn to € 1,067 mn. Higher realized gains, mainly in Germany, from equity, and, to a lesser extent, from debt, were more than enough to compensate for lower realized gains from real estate.
Operating impairment s o n i nve s t m ent s (n et) were flat at € 62 mn. Impairments on available-for-sale equities were partially offset by the reversals of debt impairments compared to impairments in the previous year.
claims and insurance benefits incurred (net) increased by € 221 mn to € 5,109 mn, mainly because we experienced higher maturities for traditional products.
Changes in reserves for insurance and investment contracts (net) increased by € 85 mn to € 3,714 mn, mainly due to higher expenses for premium refunds in Germany, which was related to the higher investment result. Partly offsetting was the positive impact from lower premium refunds in France, driven by lower investment result and reserve releases largely related to the higher maturities in traditional business.
Investment expenses decreased by € 16 mn and amounted to € 162 mn, mainly impacted by lower expenses from real estate.
Acquisition and administrative expenses (net) amounted to € 1,521 mn, an increase by € 352 mn. Acquisition costs increased due to higher deferred acquisition cost amortization, largely in Germany Life and the United States.
We had an increase in Margin on reserves from 69 to 78 basis points, which was related to the improvement of our operating profit.

Allianz offers Asset Management products and services for third-party investors and the Allianz Group's insurance operations. We serve a wide range of retail and institutional clients worldwide with investment and distribution capacities in all major markets. Our particular strongholds are in the United States, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Based on total assets under management, we are one of the four largest asset managers in the world managing third-party assets with active investment strategies.
As of 1 January 2012, we brought our PIMCO and Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) business units under the common governance of Allianz Asset Management Holding (AAM). Therefore, we now show the rolling investment performance of PIMCO and AllianzGI versus benchmarks. In addition, we enhanced our investment performance methodology. For comparability, the enhanced methodology is applied retrospectively.
Our Operating revenues climbed by € 166 mn to € 1,439 mn. On an internal basis, operating revenues increased by 8.4 %, reflecting the increase in assets under management resulting from positive market development and organic growth.
The cost-income ratio further improved by 1.1 percentage points to 57.4 % compared to the first quarter of 2011.
We recorded an outstanding operating prof it of € 613 mn, an increase of € 85 mn. On an internal basis, we grew by 10.3 %, supported by an increase in assets under management and margins as well as the effectiveness of our operational business. In this quarter, third-party assets under management net inflows totaled almost € 24 bn.
As of 31 March 2012, total assets under management amounted to € 1,653 bn, € 1,266 bn of which were held by third parties and € 387 bn by Allianz Group. We show the development of total assets under management based on asset classes as they are relevant for the segment's business development.
In the first three months of 2012, net inflows of total assets under management amounted to € 24 bn, almost all of which were third-party. Fixed income business contributed € 25 bn while our equity business recorded net outflows of € 1 bn.
We experienced favorable market effects of € 55 bn, largely driven by fixed income with € 42 bn and equities with € 14 bn. These were offset by negative effects of € 54 bn, mainly related to a refinement of the definition of assets under management. This resulted in a reclassification from assets under management to assets under administration with no impact on our revenue base. Unfavorable foreign currency translation effects amounted to € 29 bn, primarily resulting from the depreciation of the U.S. Dollar versus the Euro. 1
In the following section, we focus on the development of third-party assets under management.
The regional allocation of third-party assets under management shifted slightly, as shown above. The United States further increased its share by 1.9 percentage points to 65.1 % . However, Germany lost 1.5 percentage points, mainly due to the before-mentioned reclassification of assets under management to assets under administration.
The ratio of third-party assets from fixed income and equity changed to 88 % (1Q 2011: 86 %) and 12 % (1Q 2011: 14 %) respectively, as a result of continued strong inflows and market effects of fixed income.
The split of third-party assets under management between retail and institutional clients remained almost the same, with one percentage point up for our retail clients (to 35 %) and one percentage point down for our institutional clients (65 %).
3 | Based on the origin of assets by the asset management company.
4 | The region "Other" consists of third-party assets managed by other Allianz Group companies (approximately € 27 bn as of 31 March 2012 and € 26 bn as of 31 December 2011, respectively).
1 | Based on the closing rate on the respective balance sheet dates.
2 | Retrospective figures as of 31 December 2011 are not provided since the composition of total assets under management is impacted by the new structure for Asset Management implemented as of 1 January 2012.
In conjunction with the new AAM structure, we now show the rolling investment performance of PIMCO and AllianzGI versus their benchmarks.
The overall investment performance of the AAM businesses was outstanding, with 91 % outperforming their respective benchmarks (31 December 2011: 89%). PIMCO recorded an excellent performance of 96% versus its respective benchmarks. AllianzGI outperformed 62% of its benchmarks.
We increased our Operating revenues by € 166 mn to € 1,439 mn – mainly due to increased assets under management. On an internal basis, operating revenues rose by 8.4 %.
Ne t fee and commission incom e grew by € 159 mn to € 1,415 mn. This was largely driven by higher management fees in line with the increase of assets under management and higher margins. performance fees amounted to € 44 mn compared to € 56 mn in the first quarter of 2011.
Income from f inancial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net) rose by € 8 mn to € 14 mn. This resulted from the positive effects of mark-to-market valuations of seed money – predominantly in the United States.
1 | Allianz Asset Management account-based, asset-weighted three-year investment performance of third-party assets versus the primary target including all accounts managed by equity and fixed income managers of Allianz Asset Management. For some retail funds, the net of fee performance is compared to the median performance of the corresponding Morningstar peer group (first and second quartile mean outperformance). For all other retail funds and for all institutional accounts, the gross of fee performance (revaluated based on closing prices) is compared to the respective benchmark based on different metrics.
Our operating profit went up 16.1 % to € 613 mn, reflecting both assets under management and margin growth. Excluding foreign currency effects of € 21 mn and consolidation/deconsolidation effects of € 14 mn, internal growth was 10.3 %.
Administrative expenses increased to € 826 mn, reflecting our favorable business development and due to investments. This led to higher personnel and non-personnel expenses. The rise in non-personnel expenses also reflected our higher asset base.
Our revenues grew at a stronger rate than our operating expense base – which allowed us to further improve the already remarkable cost-income ratio to 57.4 % (1Q 2011: 58.5 %).

Our Operating result worsened by € 61 mn to a loss of € 284 mn. Holding & Treasury accounted for € 46 mn of this development. In Banking, we recorded a lower operating result, down by € 17 mn, while Alternative Investments' operating result improved by € 3 mn.
Holding & Treasury's operating result declined by € 46 mn to a loss of € 267 mn. While operating expenses remained almost unchanged, operating revenues decreased by € 40 mn.
Our ne t f ee and commission Re sult registered a loss of € 49 mn compared to a deficit of € 21 mn in the same period of the previous year. These losses were primarily attributable to costs incurred by our internal IT service provider which have not been recovered from our group companies.
Our ne t interest Re sult deteriorated by € 18 mn to a loss of € 54 mn. This reflected lower interest and similar income and higher interest expenses. Interest and similar income was down by € 10 mn to € 55 mn, largely driven by lower dividends. Interest expenses, excluding interest expenses from external debt, increased by € 8 mn to € 109 mn. This was primarily a result of higher cash pool costs.
At € 2 mn, Operating income from financial asse t s and liabiliti es carried at fair value through income was almost the same as the previous year's level.
Administr ative expenses (ne t), excluding acquisition-related expenses, remained relatively stable and amounted to € 146 mn (1Q 2011: € 140 mn).
Overall, the operating result in our Banking business decreased from a gain of € 2 mn to a loss of € 15 mn. This was largely because of a significant rise in credit loss provisions which was only partially offset by a better net interest result.
In the following section, we focus on the development of our ongoing Banking businesses. To make the figures comparable, we have excluded the disposed operations in Poland. As of 1 January 2012, the Banking segment also includes our banking business in the Netherlands, which had previously been assigned to the Asset Management segment.
Our loan loss provision increased by € 32 mn to € 46 mn. This increase was mainly due to financial guarantees related to Greek sovereign bonds within certain unit-linked products.
Our ne t interest, fee and commission result improved by € 8 mn and amounted to € 147 mn. The net interest result increased by € 13 mn to € 98 mn, thanks to short-term investments in bonds offering higher yields. Net fee and commission income declined by € 5 mn to € 49 mn.
Administr ative expenses totaled € 125 mn – a reduction of € 6 mn compared to the first quarter of the previous year.
Alternative Investments' operating result improved by € 3 mn to a loss of € 1 mn. This improvement was mainly due to an increase in fee and commission income (net) but was partially offset by higher acquisition and administrative expenses.
Following a dip in late 2011 and early 2012, the world economy is likely to regain some momentum as the year progresses. Global output is expected to grow moderately by 2.7 % in 2012 and by 3.3 % next year (2011: 2.9 %). On both sides of the Atlantic, public and private sector efforts to curb high debt levels will continue to restrain economic activity. Monetary policy, however, is still very accommodative in the United States, Japan and Europe, providing favorable financing conditions for private households and the corporate sector. Monetary tightening is unlikely to materialize before 2013 in the Eurozone. This might even take longer in the United States. The emerging market economies remain a key driver of global growth and their importance in the world economy continues. We expect these markets to grow by 5.2 % this year and 5.8 % in 2013.
The U.S. economy will probably stabilize in 2012 and record higher growth rates than in 2011. We forecast real GDP growth of 2.3 % for this and next year (2011: 1.7 %). In the Eurozone, economic activity is likely to stagnate in 2012. While fiscal austerity will act as a headwind, moderate global growth, a weaker currency and supportive monetary policy should foster economic activities. Countries' economies with a high need for consolidation are likely to shrink. Following zero growth in the Eurozone this year, a 1.3 % increase is expected in 2013. The German economy will outperform the Eurozone average thanks to robust domestic demand, a stable labor market and relatively lower need for consolidation in the public sector. Following real GDP growth of 1.0 % this year, we expect an increase of 2.0 % in 2013.
Growth will only accelerate in Europe if the European sovereign debt crisis does not escalate substantially. We still expect the debt crisis to abate slowly in the course of this year as E.U. summit decisions are implemented, structural reforms in over-indebted countries make progress, public finances continue to consolidate and ECB measures prove effective in preventing a credit crunch. Other risks that could severely dampen the economic outlook are a strong increase in oil prices – following a disruption to global oil supplies due to geopolitical tensions – a renewed flare-up of the banking crisis or a hard landing of the Chinese economy.
Financial market jitters regarding the European sovereign debt crisis have increased again in recent weeks. German government bonds continue to be considered a "safe haven", with yields on 10-year bonds below 2.0 %. In the course of 2012, with the "safe haven" effect starting to fade somewhat, yields on German government bonds are likely to creep up towards 2.5 %, which is a bit more in line with macroeconomic fundamentals. Provided that the debt crisis abates, spreads on other EMU government bonds are likely to narrow gradually, although their level will remain lofty. As far as the stock market is concerned, solid corporate earnings, low interest rates and relatively attractive price/earning-ratios provide a sound foundation for a significant recovery of equities. However, as we have seen in recent weeks, a renewed pickup in risk aversion can easily send stock markets south again, no matter how positive corporate sector fundamentals appear to be.
Our industry outlook remains unchanged. For full details, please refer to pages 121 and 122 of the Allianz Group Annual Report 2011.
The Allianz Group remains strongly capitalized: our solvency ratio strengthened by a further 4 percentage points since 31 December 2011 to 183 %. 1
Our operating profit for the first quarter of 2012 of € 2,330 mn was more than 40 % above the respective quarter of the previous year, primarily thanks to significantly lower losses from natural catastrophes. Property-Casualty operating profit was strong. Despite a decline in statutory premiums, Life/Health achieved a solid operating profit, primarily due to an increased investment result. Asset Management performance continued to be outstanding.
After a very good start in 2012, we confirm our published outlook for the Allianz Group operating profit for 2012 at € 8.2 bn, plus or minus € 0.5 bn. Given the lower losses from natural catastrophes and higher investment result, it would be inappropriate to simply annualize the current quarter's operating profit and net income to arrive at an expected result for the full year. For full details of the assumptions and sensitivities on which this outlook is based, please refer to pages 122 to 130 of the Allianz Group Annual Report 2011.
As always, natural catastrophes and adverse developments in the capital markets – including a sovereign debt crisis – as well as factors stated in our cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements, may also affect the results of our operations.
The statements contained herein may include prospects, future expectations and other forward-looking statements that are based on management's current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results, performance or events may differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements. Such deviations may arise, without limitation, because of changes in the general economic condition and competitive situation, particularly in the Allianz Group's core business and core markets, or the impact of acquisitions, related integration issues and reorganization measures. Deviations may also arise from the frequency and severity of insured loss events, including natural catastrophes, and from the development of loss expenses, mortality and morbidity levels and trends, persistency levels, and, particularly in our banking business, the extent of credit defaults. In addition, the performance of the financial markets (particularly market volatility, liquidity and credit defaults) as well as changes in interest rate levels, currency exchange rates and changes in national and international laws and regulations, particularly tax regulation, may have a relevant impact. Many of these factors may be more likely to occur, or more pronounced, as a result of terrorist activities and their consequences. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
1 | Solvency according to the E.U. Financial Conglomerates Directive. Off-balance sheet reserves are accepted by the authorities as eligible capital only upon request. Allianz SE has not submitted an application so far. Excluding off-balance sheet reserves, the solvency ratio as of 31 March 2012 would be 174% (31 December 2011: 170%).
As of 31 March 2012, shareholders' equity amounted to € 48,245 mn, an increase of € 3,330 mn – or 7.4 % – compared to 31 December 2011. Net income attributable to shareholders accounted for € 1,371 mn. In addition, unrealized gains rose by € 2,100 mn. This was driven by favorable developments in equity markets and an easing in debt markets – in particular in Italy. Changes in foreign currency translation effects had a negative impact of € 209 mn, primarily due to the strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar. 3
The Allianz Group is a financial conglomerate within the scope of the E.U. Financial Conglomerates Directive and the related German law in force since 2005. The law requires that financial conglomerates calculate the capital available to meet its solvency requirements on a consolidated basis, which we refer to as "eligible capital".
2 | This does not include non-controlling interests of € 2,444 mn and € 2,338 mn as of 31 March 2012 and 31 December 2011, respectively. For further information, please refer to note 19 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Retained earnings include foreign currency translation effects of € (2,205) mn and € (1,996) mn as of 31 March 2012 and 31 December 2011, respectively.
3 | Based on the closing rate on the respective balance sheet dates.
1 | Off-balance sheet reserves are accepted by the authorities as eligible capital only upon request. Allianz SE has not submitted an application so far. Excluding off-balance sheet reserves, the solvency ratio as of 31 March 2012 would be 174% (31 December 2011: 170%).
The conglomerate solvency ratio strengthened 4 percentage points to 183 % since the end of 2011. As of 31 March 2012, the Group's eligible capital for solvency purposes amounted to € 43.8 bn (31 December 2011: € 42.6 bn), including an off-balance sheet reserve of € 2.2 bn (31 December 2011: € 2.2 bn). The increase of € 1.2 bn was mainly driven by our net income (net of accrued dividends) of € 0.8 bn and higher unrealized gains on equities. The required funds grew by € 0.1 bn to € 23.9 bn. As a result, our eligible capital surpassed the minimum legally stipulated level by € 19.9 bn. Hence our strong solvency position improved once again.
In the following sections, we show the asset allocation for our insurance portfolio and analyze important developments within the balance sheets of our segments.
As of 31 March 2012, total assets amounted to € 661.2 bn and total liabilities were € 610.5 bn. Compared to year-end 2011, total assets and total liabilities increased by € 19.8 bn and € 16.3 bn, respectively.
This section mainly focuses on our financial investments – debt instruments, equities, real estate, cash and other – along with insurance reserves and external financing, since these reflect the major developments in our balance sheet.
As highlighted in the Executive Summary, Financial market s experienced a positive development in the first three months of 2012, supported by a lull in the European sovereign debt crisis.
During the first quarter of 2012, most equity markets continued their upward trend from the fourth quarter of 2011. For example, the German Stock Index (DAX®) rose by about 18 % in the first quarter of 2012.
1 | Off-balance sheet reserves are accepted by the authorities as eligible capital only upon request. Allianz SE has not submitted an application so far. Excluding off-balance sheet reserves, the solvency ratio as of 31 March 2012 would be 174% (31 December 2011: 170%).
In 2011, economic uncertainties and the resulting "flight to quality" had driven German and U.S. government bond yields to low levels. In the first quarter of 2012, German government bond yields stabilized whereas U.S. government bond yields increased slightly. Furthermore, Italian government bond yields decreased after they had risen in 2011. Both German and U.S. credit sp reads for less well-rated debtors narrowed in 2012 after they had substantially widened in the previous year.
The Allianz Group's investment portfolio is mainly determined by our core business of insurance. The following asset allocation covers the insurance segments and the Corporate and Other segment.
The Group's investment portfolio grew by € 14.8 bn – or 3.2 % – to € 475.9 bn. This increase was mainly due to the investment performance of our underlying operating businesses. The asset allocation remained stable.
Our gross exposure to equitie s increased from € 28.8 bn to € 29.6 bn. Market developments more than offset realizations in the first quarter of 2012. Our equity gearing – a ratio of our equity holdings allocated to the shareholder after policyholder participation and hedges to shareholder's equity plus off-balance sheet reserves less goodwill – decreased from 31 % to 28 %.
The vast majority of our investment portfolio is made up of debt inst rument s . Our investments in this asset class grew from € 416.5 bn to € 430.6 bn, to a large extent because of positive market developments and reinvested interest flows. Our exposure in this asset class was well diversified, with 60 % in government and covered bonds. In line with our operating business profile, 63 % of our fixed income portfolio was invested in Eurozone bonds and loans. About 94 % of our portfolio of debt instruments 2 was invested in investment-grade bonds and loans.
2 | Excluding self-originated German private retail mortgage loans. For 3%, no ratings are available.
Our sovereign exposure accounted for 36 % of our investments in debt. As of 31 March 2012, our sovereign bond exposure in Spain, Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Italy comprised approximately 8.4 % of our fixed income portfolio, with 1.0 % in Spain and 7.2 % in Italy. As of 31 December 2011, we had written down our Greek sovereign bonds to 24.7 % of their nominal value. In the first quarter of 2012 we accepted Greece's offer of a voluntary conversion of Greek sovereign bonds. The conversion proposal of 24 February 2012 allows private investors to convert Greek sovereign bonds they hold into new Greek bonds (31.5 % of the original nominal value) and European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) securities with durations of up to two years (15 % of the original nominal value).

| Italy | 31,179 | (800) | (116) |
| Total | 36,093 | (1,161) | (241) |
Unrealized losses (gross) on the above-mentioned exposures decreased from € 3,713 mn as of 31 December 2011 to € 1,161 mn by the end of the first quarter of 2012. This was largely attributable to Italian government bonds, reflecting the narrowing of their spreads.
53 % of the covered bonds were German Pfandbriefe, backed by either public sector loans or mortgage loans. Covered bonds provide a cushion against real estate price deterioration and payment defaults through minimum required security buffers and over-collateralization. An additional 14 % and 10 % were French and Spanish covered bonds, respectively.
Our exposure to subordinated securities in banks decreased by € 0.2 bn to € 8.2 bn, driven by realizations. The tier 1 portion increased by € 0.1 bn to € 1.4 bn and accounted for only 0.3 % of our fixed income portfolio.
Our portfolio included asset-backed securities (ABS) of € 20.0 bn, of which more than 80 % were related to mortgagebacked securities (MBS). Around 27 % of our ABS securities are made up of MBS issued by U.S. agencies and backed by the U.S. government. Overall, 96 % of the total ABS portfolio received an investment grade rating, with 80 % rated "AAA " (31 December 2011: 58 %) due to a rating improvement.
Our exposure to real e s tate held for investment remained almost stable and totaled € 8.6 bn (31 December 2011: € 8.7 bn).

4 | Net of interest expenses (excluding interest expenses from external debt).
In the first quarter of 2012, our total net inve stment incom e amounted to € 5,906 mn. The increase of 11.2 % was mainly driven by an improved fair value result and a higher interest and similar income.
As a result of our growing asset base – primarily within the Life/Health segment – Intere st and similar income (net)1 rose by € 240 mn to € 5,009 mn.
Income from f inancial ass e t s and liabilitie s carried at fair value through income (net) improved from a loss of € 225 mn to a positive amount of € 94 mn. This growth largely resulted from income on The Hartford warrants, (1Q 2012: € 180 mn; 1Q 2011: € (83) mn) driven by a positive value development relative to the agreed sales price. Furthermore, gains from foreign currencies were only partly compensated for due to decreased income from financial derivative positions. Financial derivatives are used to protect against equity and foreign currency fluctuations as well as to manage duration and other interest rate-related exposures.
Realized gains and loss e s (net) amounted to € 1,188 mn, an increase of 6.6 %. The increase in gains on equities more than offset moderate decreases in gains from debt securities and real estate. In the first quarter of 2011, we had higher realizations on real estate investments, but no major realizations in the first three months of 2012.
impairment s (net) rose from € 145 mn to € 188 mn. While we recorded € 44 mn lower impairments on debt securities – which benefited from reversals – impairments on equities increased by € 97 mn, in particular related to our investments in the financial sector.
Inv e stment expense s (net) remained almost stable and amounted to € 197 mn.
In the first quarter of 2012, our Property-Casualty asset base grew by € 3.2 bn to € 101.4 bn. Debt securities increased by € 2.1 bn to € 65.3 bn and cash and cash pool assets by € 1.1 bn to € 5.2 bn, respectively.

5 | Financial assets for unit-linked contracts represent assets owned by, and managed on behalf of, policyholders of the Allianz Group, with all appreciation and depreciation in these assets accruing to the benefit of policyholders. As a result, the value of financial assets for unit-linked contracts in our balance sheet corresponds to the value of financial liabilities for unit-linked contracts.
Financial assets for unit-linked contracts increased by € 3.3 bn or 5.2 %. Unit-linked insurance contracts grew by € 3.7 bn due to good fund performance (1Q 2012: € 2.8 bn). In addition, premium inflows to unit-linked insurance contracts exceeded outflows by € 1.2 bn. Unit-linked investment contracts grew by € 0.2 bn as the net outflows (mainly from Italy) were more than compensated for by positive fund performance. The main drivers of currency effects were the weaker U.S. Dollar (€ (0.4) bn) and Asian currencies (€ (0.2) bn). 1
Life/Health reserves for insurance and investment contracts grew by € 7.6 bn – or 2.2 % – in the first quarter of 2012. The € 3.3 bn increase in aggregate policy reserves was mainly driven by our operations in Germany (€ 2.2 bn), Switzerland (€ 0.7 bn excluding currency effects) and Belgium (€ 0.2 bn). Reserves for premium refunds rose by € 5.6 bn as unrealized gains on bonds to be shared with policyholders increased. Currency losses resulted primarily from the weaker U.S. Dollar (€ (1.3) bn).1
Our Asset Management segment's results are derived primarily from third-party asset management. In this section, we refer only to the segment's own assets.1
The main components of the Asset Management segment's asset base were loans and advances, cash and cash pool assets and debt securities. Driven by higher loans and advances, the segment's asset base increased by € 0.5 bn to € 5.0 bn while the other components remained almost stable.
Liabilities in our Asset Management segment fell by € 0.5 bn to € 5.2 bn, reflecting decreases in provisions and other liabilities, which were partly driven by a decline in Group internal financing. Furthermore, the figures have been affected by changes in segment allocation. A former entity of the Asset Management segment in the Netherlands is now assigned to the Corporate and Other segment.2
Our asset base for Corporate and Other grew by € 3.7 bn to € 39.5 bn. A reduction of cash and cash pool assets was more than offset by an increase in debt securities while equities remained stable.

2 | Senior bonds provide for early termination rights in case of non-payment of amounts due under the bond (interest and principal) as well as in case of insolvency of the relevant issuer or, if applicable, the relevant guarantor (Allianz SE). The same applies to one subordinated bond issued in 2002.
3 | The terms of the subordinated bonds (except for the one subordinated bond mentioned in footnote 2 above) do not explicitly provide for early termination rights in favor of the bondholder. Interest payments are subject to certain conditions which are linked, inter alia, to our net income, and may have to be deferred. Nevertheless, the terms of the relevant bonds provide for alternative settlement mechanisms which allow us to avoid an interest deferral using cash raised from the issuance of specific newly issued instruments.
4 | The 6.125% bond has been called for redemption effective 31 May 2012.
The previous analysis is based on our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with them. In addition to our stated figures according to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS ), the Allianz Group uses operating profit and internal growth to enhance the understanding of our results. These additional measures should be viewed as complementary to, and not as a substitute for, our figures determined according to IFRS .

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Allianz Group – comprising the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and selected explanatory notes – are presented in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted under European Union (E.U.) regulations in accordance with § 315 a of the German Commercial Code (HGB). IFRS comprise the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the International Accounting Standards (IAS), and the interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC).
Within these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the Allianz Group has applied all IFRS issued by the IASB and endorsed by the E.U. that are compulsory as of 1 January 2012 or adopted earlier. See note 2 for further details.
For existing and unchanged IFRS, the accounting policies for recognition, measurement, consolidation and presentation applied in the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with the accounting policies that have been applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Allianz Group Annual Report 2011.
IFRS do not provide specific guidance concerning all aspects of the recognition and measurement of insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features. Therefore, as envisioned in IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, the provisions embodied under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP ) have been applied to those aspects where specific guidance is not provided by IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts.
The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in millions of Euros (€ mn), unless otherwise stated.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Allianz Group were authorized for issue by the Board of Management on 14 May 2012.
The following amendments to standards have become effective for the Allianz Group's consolidated financial statements as of 1 January 2012:
TheAllianz Group adopted the amendments as of 1 January 2012, with no material impact on its financial results or financial position.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
The business activities of the Allianz Group are first organized by product and type of service: insurance activities, asset management activities and corporate and other activities. Due to differences in the nature of products, risks and capital allocation, insurance activities are further divided between Property-Casualty and Life/Health categories. In accordance with the responsibilities of the Board of Management, each of the insurance categories is grouped into the following reportable segments:
Asset management activities represent a separate reportable segment. Due to differences in the nature of products, risks and capital allocation, corporate and other activities are divided into three reportable segments: Holding & Treasury, Banking and Alternative Investments. In total, the Allianz Group has identified 17 reportable segments in accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments.
The types of products and services from which reportable segments derive revenue are described below.
In the Property-Casualty category, reportable segments offer a wide variety of insurance products to both private and corporate customers, including motor liability and own damage, accident, general liability, fire and property, legal expense, credit and travel insurance.
In the Life/Health category, reportable segments offer a comprehensive range of life and health insurance products on both individual and group basis, including annuity, endowment and term insurance, unit-linked and investment-oriented products as well as full private health and supplemental health and long-term care insurance.
The reportable segment Asset Management operates as a global provider of institutional and retail asset management products and services to third-party investors and provides investment management services to the Allianz Group's insurance operations. The products for retail and institutional customers include equity and fixed income funds as well as alternative products. The United States and Germany as well as France, Italy and the Asia-Pacific region represent the primary asset management markets.
The reportable segment Holding & Treasury includes the management and support of the Allianz Group's businesses through its strategy, risk, corporate finance, treasury, financial reporting, controlling, communication, legal, human resources and technology functions. The reportable segment Banking consists of the banking activities in Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands and Bulgaria. The banks offer a wide range of products for corporate and retail clients with the main focus on the latter. The reportable segment Alternative Investments provides global alternative investment management services in the private equity, real estate, renewable energy and infrastructure sectors, mainly on behalf of the Allianz Group's insurance operations. The Alternative Investments reportable segment also includes a fully consolidated private equity investment. The income and expenses of this investment are included in the non-operating result. For further details please see note 26.
Prices for transactions between reportable segments are set on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties. Transactions between reportable segments are eliminated in Consolidation. For the reportable segment Asset Management, interest revenues are reported net of interest expenses.
The Allianz Group uses operating profit to evaluate the performance of its reportable segments and the Allianz Group as a whole. Operating profit highlights the portion of income before income taxes attributable to the ongoing core operations of the Allianz Group. The Allianz Group considers the presentation of operating profit to be useful and meaningful to investors because it enhances the understanding of the Allianz Group's underlying operating performance and the comparability of its operating performance over time.
To better understand the ongoing operations of the business, the Allianz Group generally excludes the following nonoperating effects:
Against this general rule the following exceptions apply:
Operating profit should be viewed as complementary to, and not as a substitute for, income before income taxes or net income as determined in accordance with IFRS.
At the beginning of 2012, the Allianz Group reorganized the structure of its insurance activities to reflect the changes in the responsibilities of the Board of Management. The insurance activities of Spain, Portugal, Mexico and South America were combined in the newly created reportable segment Iberia & Latin America. As a consequence, the former Europe incl. South America was renamed into Western & Southern Europe and NA FTA Markets was reduced to USA . Previously reported information has been adjusted to reflect this change in the composition of the Allianz Group's reportable segments. Additionally, some minor reallocations between the reportable segments have been made.

For the three months ended 31 March 2012, income (expenses) from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net) in the Life/Health segment includes expenses of € 258 mn (2011: income of € 218 mn) from derivative financial instruments. This includes expenses of € 59 mn (2011: income of € 374 mn) of German entities from financial derivative positions held for duration management and protection against equity and foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Also included are expenses related to fixed-indexed annuity products and guaranteed benefits under unit-linked contracts of € 185 mn (2011: € 162 mn) from U.S. entities.
For the three months ended 31 March 2012 income (expenses) from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net) in the Corporate and Other segment includes income of € 265 mn (2011: expenses of € 88 mn) from derivative financial instruments. This includes income of € 22 mn (2011: expenses of € 23 mn) from financial derivative instruments to protect investments and liabilities against foreign exchange rate fluctuations. In 2012, hedging of equity investments not designated for hedge accounting induced income of € 10 mn (2011: expenses of € 9 mn). Financial derivatives related to investment strategies generated income of € 180 mn (2011: expenses of € 83 mn). Expenses of € 47 mn (2011: € 25 mn) from the hedges of share based compensation plans (restricted stock units) are also included.
For the three months ended 31 March 2012, income (expenses) from financial assets and liabilities designated at fair value through income (net) in the Life/Health segment includes income from equity investments of € 138 mn (2011: € 54 mn) and income of € 81 mn (2011: € 26 mn) from debt investments.
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported within income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net). These foreign currency gains and losses arise subsequent to initial recognition on all assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, that are monetary items. This excludes exchange differences arising on financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, which do not have to be disclosed separately. The Allianz Group uses freestanding derivatives to hedge against foreign currency fluctuations, for which it recognized income of € 85 mn (2011: € 355 mn) for the three months ended 31 March 2012.

1 | The presented subtotal for expenses and total income and expenses from fully consolidated private equity investment for the three months ended 31 March 2012 differs from the amounts presented in the "Consolidated Income Statements" and in "Total revenues and reconciliation of Operating profit (loss) to Net income (loss)". This difference is due to a consolidation effect of € 6 mn (2011: € 18 mn) for the three months ended 31 March 2012. This consolidation effect results from the deferred policyholder participation, recognized on the result from fully consolidated private equity investments within operating profit in the Life/Health segment, that was reclassified into expenses from fully consolidated private equity investments in non-operating profit to ensure a consistent presentation of the Allianz Group's operating profit.

On 31 January 2009, the CDOs were reclassified from financial assets held for trading to loans and advances to banks and customers in accordance with IAS 39. The fair value of € 1.1 bn became the new carrying amount of the CDOs at the reclassification date.
For 2011, the carrying amount and fair value of the CDOs significantly declined due to the liquidation of the Palmer Square 2 CDO tranche, which resulted in direct ownership of the underlying collateral securities. As of 31 December 2011, the carrying amount and fair value of the CDOs was € 431 mn and € 428 mn, respectively. As of 31 March 2012, the carrying amount and fair value of the CDOs is € 409 mn and € 397 mn, respectively. For the three months ended 31 March 2012, the net profit related to the CDOs was not significant.
As of 31 March 2012, there were no significant changes in the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments and no significant transfers of financial instruments between the levels of the fair value hierarchy compared to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011.

In April 2012, the U.S. insurer The Hartford bought back warrants and debentures in the amount of U.S. Dollar 2.4 bn. The repurchase transaction was entered into on 30 March 2012 and closed on 17 April 2012.
The warrants were recognized as financial assets carried at fair value through income. At the balance sheet date, the fair value reflected the sale proceeds; thus the gain from disposal was already included in the consolidated financial statements of the first quarter of 2012 with an impact on net income of approximately € 0.1 bn.
The debentures were recorded at amortized cost and derecognized at the closing date of the transaction, 17 April 2012. At this date, i.e. in the second quarter of 2012, the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount was recognized as a gain in the consolidated income statement with an impact on net income of approximately € 0.1 bn.
In April 2012, the Allianz Group placed a three-year catastrophe bond through the new Blue Danube Ltd. program with a total volume of U.S. Dollar 240 mn.

During April 2012, several tornados caused severe damage in various states of the United States. As of today, the Allianz Group expects an approximate net loss of € 66 mn.

Allianz SE The Board of Management
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Allianz SE, Munich – comprising the consolidated balance sheets, consolidated income statements, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and selected explanatory notes – together with the interim group management report of Allianz SE, Munich, for the period from January 1 to March 31, 2012 that are part of the quarterly financial report according to § 37 x Abs. 3 WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"]. The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with those International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS ) applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the E.U., and of the interim group management report in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports, is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We performed our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW ). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the E.U., and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot issue an auditor's report.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, or that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the WpHG applicable to interim group management reports.

1 | The German Securities Trading Act ("Wertpapierhandelsgesetz") obliges issuers to announce immediately any information which may have a substantial price impact, irrespective of the communicated schedules. Therefore we cannot exclude that we have to announce key figures of quarterly and fiscal year results ahead of the dates mentioned above.
