Earnings Summary3)

Total revenues4)

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Total revenues

in � bn

The increase in revenues continued to be largely driven by Life/Health, with internal growth of 11.7%. Asset Management growth was again outstanding, at 28.8%. Property-Casualty premiums declined slightly by 1.1%.

Total revenues – Segments5)

in � mn

Property-Casualty gross premiums written declined by 1.1% on an internal basis. Our selective underwriting was reflected in a positive price effect of 1.5% and a negative volume effect of 2.6%.

Strong demand for unit-linked products in particular, but also for traditional life products, supported the 11.7% internal growth in Life/Health statutory premiums.

  • 1) Internal total revenue growth excludes the effects of foreign currency translation as well as acquisitions and disposals. Please refer to page 42 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) Off-balance sheet reserves are accepted by the authorities as eligible capital only upon request; Allianz SE has not submitted an application so far. The solvency ratio excluding off-balance sheet reserves would be 159% (2009: 155%).
  • 3) Figures prior to third quarter of 2010 have been restated to reflect a change in Allianz Group's accounting policy. For further information please refer to the Life/Health chapter and note 2 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
  • 4) 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).

5) Total revenues include € (33) mn, € (33) mn and € 28 mn from consolidation for 3Q 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

in � mn

Asset Management achieved revenue growth of 28.8% on an internal basis, driven by an increase in management fees primarily from our fixed income business. Total assets under management amounted to € 1,443 billion, an increase of € 241 billion compared to December 31, 2009.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Totalrevenues grew by 9.0% on an internal basis. Total growth of € 8,583 million was largely attributable to a € 6,466 million increase in Life/Health statutory premiums, due to strong demand for investment-oriented products, as well as higher traditional life business revenues. The other segments also contributed positively.

Operating profit

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Operating profit1)

in � mn

Operating profit increased by 2.3% from € 2,009 million to € 2,055 million.

Operating profit – Segments

In our Property-Casualty business a higher underwriting and investment result supported operating profit growth of 8.8% to € 1,122 million. Our combined ratio stood at 97.1% (3Q 09: 96.9%).

Life/Health operating profit of € 655 million was in line with our expectations. Operating profit decreased by 30.2%, however, as in the third quarter 2009 we recorded exceptional gains from credit spreads and equity market movements.

Our Asset Management segment recorded outstanding operating growth of 41.6% to € 521 million, due to an increase in net fee and commission income, partially offset by higher operating expenses. We reduced our cost-income ratio by 0.6 percentage points to 58.5%.

The Corporate and Other operating loss decreased by € 25 million to € 270 million, mainly due to an improved foreign currency result.

1) Figures prior to third quarter of 2010 have been restated to reflect a change in Allianz Group's accounting policy. For further information please refer to note 2 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2) Includes € 27 mn, € (34) mn and € (48) mn from consolidation for 3Q 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Operating profit grew by € 1,005 million to € 6,089 million, largely driven by Asset Management, with a € 678 million increase in operating profit. The other segments also contributed positively: Corporate and Other (+ € 116 million), Life/Health (+ € 113 million), and Property-Casualty (+ € 86 million).

Non-operating result

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

The non-operating loss increased by € 31 million to € 123 million.

Non-operating income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income decreased by € 139 million, largely due to a negative € 121 million fair value impact from the valuation of The Hartford warrants.

Realized gains increased by € 60 million to € 382 million, including a further € 113 million in gains from the sale of shares in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) (3Q 2009: € 0 million). As of September 30, 2010, gross ICBC unrealized gains amounted to € 475 million.

Amortization of intangible assets and goodwill includes a € 115 million goodwill impairment.

Our Asset Management segment continued to deliver an outstanding performance resulting in acquisition-related expenses of € 80 million. These expenses decreased however compared to the prior period, as the number of B-units outstanding reduced from 56,224 (September 30, 2009) to 30,129 (September 30, 2010). We have now acquired 79.9% of all outstanding B-units. 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 acquisitionrelated expenses. Distributions received by the senior management B-unit holders are also included.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

The non-operating loss amounted to € 461 million compared to € 518 million for the same period in 2009. Lower impairments were offset by a decrease in income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (mainly driven by a € 269 million lower cumulative change in the fair value of The Hartford warrants), lower realized gains as well as higher amortization of intangible assets and PIMCO B-unit expenses.

Net income1)

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Net income from continuing operations/Net income in � mn

Net income fell by 8.8% to € 1,268 million, largely due to a higher income tax expense.

The income tax expense increased by € 137 million to € 664 million in the third quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate amounted to 34.3% (3Q 09: 27.5%).

Net income attributable to shareholders amounted to € 1,264 million.

1) Figures prior to third quarter of 2010 have been restated to reflect a change in Allianz Group's accounting policy. For further information please refer to note 2 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Earnings per share1)2)

in �

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Net income of € 4,028 million was € 806 million (or 25.0%) higher than the prior period result. € 395 million of this difference stemmed from the loss from discontinued operations due to the sale and deconsolidation of Dresdner Bank, recorded in the first quarter of 2009.

Shareholders' equity2)

Shareholders' equity3)

As of September 30, 2010, shareholders' equity amounted to € 44,900 million, an increase of € 4,792 million compared to € 40,108 million as of December 31, 2009. Net income attributable to shareholders and unrealized gains increased our equity by € 3,918 million and € 1,774 million respectively. Positive foreign currency translation effects contributed a further € 894 million. In the second quarter of 2010, Allianz SE paid dividends of € 1,850 million for the fiscal year 2009, which reduced equity.

Conglomerate solvency4) in € bn

As of September 30, 2010, our eligible capital for solvency purposes, required for our insurance segments and our banking and asset management businesses, was € 37.4 billion, including off-balance sheet reserves of € 1.9 billion, surpassing the minimum legally stipulated level by € 15.1 billion. This margin resulted in a cover ratio of 168% at September 30, 2010. Eligible capital at September 30, 2010 also includes a deduction for accrued dividends of € 1.6 billion for the first nine months of 2010, which represents 40% of net income attributable to shareholders. Our solvency position remains strong.

Risk Management

Risk management is an integral part of our business processes and supports our value-based management.

Interest rates in major currencies have fallen since the end of 2009. This has not yet had a material impact on our IFRS financial results and FCD solvency ratio. We continue to monitor this development closely and take action as appropriate. If such market conditions continue, it may eventually impact our financial results, e.g. in the form of lower financial income.

For further information, we refer you to the risk report in our 2009 Annual Report (pages 178 et seqq). The risks described therein essentially remain unchanged.

Allianz Group's management feels comfortable with the Group's overall risk profile and has confidence in the effectiveness of the Group's risk management framework to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing environment as well as day-to-day business needs.

Events After the Balance Sheet Date

In October 2010, the Allianz Group sold 0.3 billion ICBC shares with a capital gain of approximately € 0.1 billion.

On October 25, 2010, an earthquake and a following tsunami devastated the Pagai Islands in Indonesia. Based on current information, gross claims are expected to be less than € 20 million.

The pension age in France has increased from 60 to 62. Management currently does not believe that this will affect the Allianz Group severely.

On November 1, 2010 the sale of Alba, Phenix and Phenix Vie to Helvetia Group was completed.

Outlook

Economic Outlook

Strong recovery on a global scale

The global economy has clocked up some remarkable achievements over the past one-and-a-half years or so: industrial production has managed to shrug off a slump of 12%, while global trade has clambered back from a 21% nosedive, with global trade and industrial production now at roughly the same level as before the financial and economic crisis took hold. Although growth dynamics are very disparate across different regions, the economic recovery is set to continue well into next year. Nevertheless, in a host of countries it will take several years before output is back at pre-crisis levels. The financial markets are likely to remain nervous. In view of the risks stemming from the ongoing need for adjustment and consolidation, the environment for financial service providers will continue to be challenging.

More moderate economic growth ahead

Data on industrial activity and business sentiment have been hinting at ebbing growth momentum worldwide for some time now. For the remainder of this year and in the year to come we expect a more moderate economic development, but no relapse into recession. After a 3.7% rise in global output in 2010, the increase is expected to be slightly weaker next year at 3.3%. Growth rates are set to fall both in the industrialized countries and in the emerging markets, although the slowdown in the industrial economies will be more pronounced than in their emerging counterparts. The developing countries will continue to grow much faster than the developed world, thereby steadily increasing their overall share in global output.

Countries with heavily over-indebted private and public sectors will tend to grow more slowly than economies that are free from such macroeconomic imbalances: in the case of the former group of countries the necessary consolidation efforts will weigh on their economic prospects and therefore on growth. This also explains why the emerging but, in some cases, seriously indebted economies of Eastern Europe are getting back into their stride more slowly than the Asian emerging markets with their surpluses.

The robust performance in key Latin American countries is a positive surprise. Thanks to its economic policy successes and the resulting stabilization, Brazil has weathered the global economic and financial crisis very well. Growth momentum will remain solid well into next year. The U.S. economy shook off the crisis in the second half of 2009, but growth momentum has clearly slowed in the past two quarters. In Europe, the German economy is set to record a considerably above-average performance this year, with the positive interplay between rising employment, increasing incomes and higher demand suggesting that the German recovery has now developed a momentum of its own.

Impact on rates and markets

The Euro area sovereign debt crisis sent sizeable shockwaves through the financial markets. Although the credit spreads of the debt-laden member countries such as Greece, Portugal, Ireland, and Spain narrowed during the quarter, risk premiums still remain at a very high level. In the third quarter of 2010, the flight to safety was the main trigger behind a further slide in German government bond yields. We do not expect yields to languish permanently at record low levels. In particular, we expect to see further progress in the consolidation of public finances in the Euro area over the course of next year, along with a minor pickup in inflation and a gradual reining in of expansionary monetary policy. In an overall friendly economic environment, all of this will serve to push up capital market yields, once risk aversion has faded. In the Euro area, we expect to see 10-year government benchmark bond yields nudge above 3% as next year progresses. With capacity utilization in the corporate sector higher, rising profits will give the stock market a fillip. However, the lingering uncertainty about the medium-term economic growth outlook suggests that stock market gains will be limited.

Outlook for the Allianz Group

After another strong quarter, and all segments delivering better results than in the first nine months of 2009, we expect the Allianz Group operating profit to trend towards the upper end of our 2010 target range of around € 7.2 billion, plus or minus € 0.5 billion.

Our Property-Casualty business continued to be burdened with a high level of natural catastrophe related losses, which have already exceeded our expected level of approximately € 900 million for the whole of 2010 by € 218 million. We expect market conditions in a number of our core markets to remain challenging. However our accident year loss ratio excluding natural catastrophes has developed favorably and is below 70.0% for the first nine months of 2010. Attaining the lower end of our target range for Property-Casualty is within reach.

Life/Health revenues continue to grow strongly, and with our nine month operating profit of € 2,314 million we are already within our target range for the full year. The full year result is subject to capital market volatility in the fourth quarter of 2010.

Asset Management operating profit to date of € 1,503 million has already surpassed € 1.3 billion, the upper end of our target range.

The operating profit outlook for our Corporate and Other segment together with consolidation effects is expected to remain within our target range.

With a solvency ratio of 168%1), the Allianz Group capital position remains solid.

For full details of the assumptions and sensitivities on which our outlook is based, please refer to the Allianz Group Annual Report 2009.

As always, natural catastrophes and adverse developments in the capital markets, as well as the factors stated in our cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements, may severely impact the results of our operations.

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. The solvency ratio excluding off-balance sheet reserves would be 159% (2009: 155%).

Earnings Summary

Gross premiums written1)

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Gross premiums written decreased by 1.1% on an internal basis, made up of a negative volume effect of 2.6% and a positive price effect of 1.5%. The decline in volume stemmed mainly from the United States, Italy and Germany. Strong average premium improvements in Italy, the United Kingdom and Australia almost compensated for the decline in volume. Excluding our U.S. crop insurance business internal growth was almost flat at minus 0.2%.

On a nominal basis revenues increased by 3.6% or € 368 million to € 10,600 million. Of this increase, € 486 million related to foreign currency translation effects, primarily from the appreciation of the U.S. Dollar and the Australian Dollar against the Euro.

In analyzing internal premium growth in terms of "price" and "volume" effects, we use three clusters:

Cluster 1: Both price and volume effects are positive Cluster 2: Either price or volume effects are positive Cluster 3: Both price and volume effects are negative

1) We comment on the development of our gross premiums written on an internal basis; meaning adjusted for foreign currency translation and (de-)consolidation effects in order to provide more comparable information.

2) Before elimination of transactions between Allianz Group companies in different geographic regions and different segments.

Cluster 1

In South America gross premiums rose by 11.1%. All countries in the region contributed positively to the gross premiums written of € 401million, in particular Brazil, where growth stemmed from all business lines, except for large and industrial segments. Including a positive foreign currency translation effect of € 61 million, the nominal growth was 31.0%.

In the credit insurance business gross premiums increased by 9.7% to € 417 million. Higher insured volume, increased business retention and re-pricing activities were the reasons for the positive development. The positive price effect was around 4.1%.

In Australia gross premiums amounted to € 594 million, including a favorable foreign currency translation effect of € 100 million. The internal growth of 9.3% was a result of higher volume and increased prices stemming in particular from motor business and household insurance. The price increases were applied across most business lines already in 2009. We estimate the positive price effect to be 6.2%.

In Asia-Pacific gross premiums were € 126 million. Internal growth was 1.9%, excluding the transfer of Allianz Fire and Marine Insurance Japan from Asia-Pacific to AGCS and a positive foreign currency translation effect of € 21 million. This increase was mainly volume driven, in particular by our motor business in Malaysia.

Cluster 2

At Allianz Sach gross premiums fell by 2.4% to € 1,859 million, despite a slightly positive price development of about 0.3%. The negative growth was mainly due to a declining policy count in the motor business. This resulted from portfolio cleaning in fleets and fewer car pools in commercial lines. Our non-motor business volume also declined, largely driven by general third-party liability insurance.

In Italy gross premiums were down by 2.4% to € 809 million, largely driven by non-motor business, as small- to mediumsized companies continued to suffer the effects of the economic recession. Our motor business recorded positive growth as a result of significant price increases over the last months. We estimate the overall positive price effect to be 10.6%.

In France gross premiums were € 754 million, down 2.5%. Volume declined following price increases in motor fleets and small and large commercial lines. Price increases were applied to the portfolio and were higher in our personal lines, particularly in non-motor business. The positive price effect was approximately 2.7%.

In Spain gross premiums written decreased to € 464 million. Adjusting for the portfolio transfer from Spain to AGCS, premiums declined by 2.9%. We lost volume in the motor business due to the introduction of higher domestic VAT rates and the expiry of car scrapping incentives in July 2010. The economic recession continued to put pressure on prices, especially in the highly competitive commercial lines. However, we started to see benefits from the rate increases in our motor business, resulting in a positive price effect, estimated at 0.2%.

In the United States gross premiums declined by 10.9%. Gross premiums written amounted to € 1,378 million, including a positive foreign currency translation effect of € 132 million and the transfer of marine business to AGCS. The negative impact of our crop insurance business due to increasing commodity prices made up two thirds of the decline. The remaining decline resulted from lower volume in personal and commercial lines, reflecting continuing soft market conditions and selective underwriting. Nonetheless, there was an overall positive price effect of about 0.8% stemming from personal lines.

In the United Kingdom gross premiums stood at € 463 million. Excluding a favorable foreign currency translation effect of € 20 million, internal growth was 3.7%. Lower volume resulting from portfolio cleaning was more than offset by a positive price development due to increased rates, especially in the retail motor business. Despite a challenging market, commercial business prices remained stable. We estimate the positive price effect to be 8.3%.

In Central and Eastern Europe gross premiums amounted to € 628 million. Adjusting for a positive foreign currency translation effect, internal growth was negative at 5.2%. Volume improved slightly, mainly driven by our motor business in Russia, due to the introduction of car scrapping incentives. However, the increase in volume could not compensate for the decline in prices. Significant rate reductions were recorded in particular in Hungary, the Czech Republic and Romania and were a result of the current economic environment. We estimate the overall price effect to be minus 6.8%.

Cluster 3

At AGCS gross premiums were € 899 million. Taking into account several portfolio transfers within the propertycasualty insurance segment to AGCS, gross premiums declined by 4.8%. Lower volume led to this development, in particular from our property and engineering businesses in France and in the United Kingdom. We also saw a negative price effect across most of our business lines, estimated at 0.8%.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Gross premiums written were down by 0.4%. This is explained by a 1.1% reduction in volume and a positive price effect of 0.7%. On a nominal basis, revenues increased by 2.7% mainly driven by favorable foreign currency translation effects amounting to € 1,051 million. We recorded no changes in the scope of consolidation. Excluding our U.S. crop insurance business internal growth was almost flat at minus 0.1%.

Underwriting result 1)

Operating profit

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Operating profit in € mn

Operating profit increased by 8.8%, or € 91 million, to € 1,122 million, due to higher underwriting and investment results.

The underwriting result improved by € 43 million to € 264 million, benefiting from higher favorable run-off and the positive development of our credit insurance business. In contrast, we recorded higher losses from natural catastrophes of € 307 million and from extraordinary expense items of approximately € 46 million.

Net investment income increased by 6.3% to € 841 million, primarily driven by higher interest and similar income.

1) Consists of changes in aggregate policy reserves and other insurance reserves.

The combined ratio stood at 97.1% compared to 96.9% in the prior year. This was driven by the higher favorable runoff result, which almost offset higher expenses. Despite the significantly higher level of natural catastrophes, the accident year loss ratio was unchanged.

The accident year loss ratio was 72.1%. Of this, 3.0 percentage points came from natural catastrophes, while in the third quarter of 2009, natural catastrophes represented 1.6 percentage points of the accident year loss ratio of 72.1%. Excluding natural catastrophes, our accident year loss ratio improved by 1.4 percentage points due to a higher average annual premium and the recovery of our credit insurance business. Moreover, we recorded a lower level of large claims.

The following operations contributed negatively to our accident year loss ratio:

  • Germany with 1.0 percentage point as a result of high losses from natural catastrophes and bad weather conditions in the third quarter of 2010. Flood Viola, windstorm Olivia/Norina and hailstorm Petra caused net losses of approximately € 137 million. In addition, we recorded a higher volume of large claims. These negative effects were partially offset by a lower claims frequency, especially in Property.
  • AGCS with 0.8 percentage points due to higher losses from natural catastrophes such as flood Viola and hurricane Alex. In addition, we recorded a higher level of mid-size claims, especially in Aviation, Energy and Property. A lower level of large claims in Property, on the other hand, partly offset this.

The following operations contributed positively to our accident year loss ratio:

  • Credit insurance business with (0.7) percentage points due to a sharp decline in claims frequency after the drastic risk and commercial measures that have been taken since the end of 2007.
  • The United States with (0.5) percentage points due to a favorable development of the agribusiness driven by higher than expected yields and commodity prices. The lower level of large claims also had a positive impact.

  • France with (0.3) percentage points due to active portfolio management including cleaning actions and tariff increases. This was partially offset by a higher level of large claims in the property insurance business.

  • Italy with (0.3) percentage points due to the high level of hail losses recorded in 2009. Strong price increases in motor third-party liability also contributed to the positive development. These positive effects were partially offset by the negative impact (plus 2.5 percentage points) of the so-called "Milan tables" (new tables for bodily injury claims).

The expense ratio increased by 1.7 percentage points to 28.4%.

Acquisition and administrative expenses increased on a nominal basis by € 315 million to € 2,921 million. Of these, unfavorable foreign currency translation effects accounted for € 115 million. In addition, we had to write down reinsurance receivables for a large claim that occurred in 2009 and recorded further expenses due to the ad-hoc introduction of a financial crisis tax in Hungary. Moreover, our administrative expenses in the third quarter of 2009 were positively impacted by the settlement of a health benefits plan in the United States.

The underlying development in administration expenses overall was flat.

Operating net investment income 841 791 2,459 2,424

Net investment income improved by € 50 million to € 841 million mainly due to higher interest and similar income.

Interest and similar income grew by € 52 million to € 917 million. Net of interest expenses, the result increased by € 42 million, of which higher income on equities accounted for € 22 million. Fixed income securities contributed € 26 million to the increase as negative effects from lower yields were compensated by the increasing share of debt securities in our portfolio. The total average asset base increased from € 89.5 billion in the third quarter 2009 to € 94.8 billion this quarter.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Operating profit improved from € 2,895 million to € 2,981 million. Both the underwriting result and the operating net investment income contributed positively to this growth.

Our combined ratio decreased by 0.3 percentage points to 97.9%. Higher losses from natural catastrophes and weather related claims resulted in a negative impact of 1.9 percentage points. This was largely compensated for by a favorable run-off result.

The expense ratio increased slightly by 0.5 percentage points to 28.1%.

1) 'Operating net investment income', as defined above, includes the investment-related part (premium refunds) of 'Change in reserves for insurance and investment contracts (net)' and therefore differs from the 'Operating investment result' as shown in note 3 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

Earnings Summary

As of July 1, 2010, we changed our accounting policy for fixed-indexed annuities, which impacted the result of our U.S. business.2) Therefore the prior quarter figures were restated.

Statutory premiums1)

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Statutory premiums grew by 11.7% on an internal basis, mainly driven by positive developments in the United States and Asia-Pacific. A strong demand for unit-linked products and a solid increase in sales of traditional life products in our major markets supported overall growth. Demand for investment contracts with guarantees and profit participation decreased slightly compared to last year's level. On a nominal basis, overall growth amounted to 16.4%.

Statutory premiums – Internal growth rates3)

In the United States, total premiums increased by 62.6% on an internal basis. Premiums amounted to € 2,234 million. Last year's quarter saw depressed premium volumes as suspension of our variable annuity living benefit riders was still in force. One year later, sales of our repriced variable annuity products have increased significantly while demand for our fixed index annuity products remained strong.

Our business in Asia-Pacific achieved premiums of € 1,681 million. Internal growth was 45.3%. Demand for unit-linked and investment-oriented products in this region remained high. In Japan, demand for our variable annuity products sold via our bank partners has increased steadily. Here, we recorded a significant growth in sales from € 22 million to

€ 394 million. Premiums in South Korea increased by 11.6% on an internal basis, driven by our investment-oriented business with guarantees, with strong demand for our single premium equity index and other investment products sold via the bancassurance channel. Premiums in Taiwan grew by 21.1% on an internal basis, mainly driven by the increase in our pure unit-linked business without guarantees.

Premiums in France grew by 4.8% to € 1,732 million, mainly driven by higher sales of unit-linked products, while premiums from our traditional business also increased. Growth was partially offset by a decrease in sales of our non-unitlinked investment-oriented products.

In our German life business premiums increased by 4.3% to € 3,471 million. The increase was driven by a continuous growth in single premiums from traditional life products, of which the major part stemmed from private business. This development was partially offset by less commercial single premiums and a decrease in recurring premiums due to maturities and lapses of in-force private business. In the German health business we saw revenue growth of 1.3%.

In Central and Eastern Europe, our premiums amounted to € 223 million, which is a decrease of 0.9% on an internal basis. Premiums declined due to a decrease in sales of payment protection insurance in Poland. This development was partially offset by an increase in sales of single premium products in Czech Republic.

In Switzerland, premiums decreased by 5.7% to € 225 million, due to lower sales of investment-oriented contracts, mostly products with guarantees, and a decrease in traditional business. In addition, single premiums from individual life contracts were significantly lower due to the negative impact of lower interest rates on sales of insurance contracts and reorganization of the sales force.

Premiums in Italy decreased by 17.0% to € 1,367 million. Growth in our unit-linked business was offset by lower sales of investment-oriented products by our bancassurance channels. Last year we experienced a very strong demand for our investment-oriented product with guarantees.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

In the first nine months of 2010 we grew our statutory premiums by 15.4% on an internal basis. Premiums stood at € 42,033 million. Growth on a nominal basis amounted to 18.2%. The prior year period was affected by the financial markets crisis, with first signs of recovery in the third quarter of 2009. Premium growth in 2010 reflects the return of consumers' confidence, supported by positive developments in capital markets worldwide. Overall demand for investment and traditional insurance products increased.

Operating profit

Operating profit1)

in € mn

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Operating profit decreased from € 939 million to € 655 million. This quarter's fair value results2) were lower after exceptional gains in 2009 from credit spreads and equity market movements. As part of the annual assumption review process for deferred acquisition costs-computation we recorded a negative impact (of € 42 million) on operating profit from true-ups. Exceptional impacts from the adjustment of deferred acquisition costs for lapsed policies in Slovakia and the introduction of a financial crisis tax in Hungary also lowered operating profit.

1) Figures prior to third quarter of 2010 have been restated to reflect a change in Allianz Group's accounting policy. For further information please refer to note 2 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2) Recorded in net gain from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income.

Interest and similar income increased by € 81 million to € 3,646 million. Lower interest rates led to a decline in debt yields: from 1.2% to 1.1% this quarter. This was compensated by a growth-driven increase in our debt portfolio: the total average asset base increased from € 303.8 billion in the third quarter 2009 to € 346.7 billion this quarter.

Net gains from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value decreased by € 233 million to € 127 million. The upward trend in equity markets led to a positive result from fair value options, but on a much lower level as equity market development this quarter was not as strong as the third quarter of last year. In addition, last year's exceptional result was driven by favorable credit spread development. The overall decrease in our fair value result was partially offset by a positive development in our trading result.

Net impairments on investments decreased from € 232 million to € 95 million as capital markets stabilized.

Change in reserves for insurance and investment con-

tracts (net) amounted to € 3,673 million, up € 1,011 million compared to the third quarter of 2009. The increase is due to higher reserves following higher sales in our traditional business in Germany and increased variable annuity reserves in the United States where interest rates were lower.

Acquisition and administrative expenses (net) amounted to € 1,000 million, down 18.6%. Administration expenses increased by 0.6%, while acquisition costs fell by 25.7%. Higher commission payments due to increased business were more than offset by true-up effects.

Our cost-income ratio increased by 2.4 percentage points to 96.0% due to higher changes in reserves compared to the investment performance and premiums generated in the period.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Operating profit amounted to € 2,314 million in the first nine months of 2010, 5.1% higher than last year's result for the same period. The increase was mainly driven by profitable growth supported by recovered capital market conditions, together with fewer impairments. This was partly offset by lower fair value option result in France. In addition, this result reflects the sound underlying profitability of our Life/Health business. Line item movements were largely consistent with the developments in the third quarter.

Asset Management

  • Total assets under management exceeded € 1.4 trillion.
  • Strong third-party net inflows of € 40 billion in the third quarter of 2010, € 100 billion year-to-date.
  • Exceptionally strong operating profit of € 521 million.

Assets under Management

Total assets under management grew from € 1,202 billion to € 1,443 billion since December 31, 2009. Third-party assets under management accounted for € 1,131 billion of the total assets under management, while the remaining € 312 billion related to Allianz Group assets.

Development of total assets under management in € bn

Growth in total assets under management in the first nine months of 2010 amounted to € 241 billion, of which € 100 billion came from third-party net inflows and € 8 billion came from Allianz Group net inflows. Fixed income business contributed net inflows of € 111 billion, while equity business saw net outflows of € 3 billion. Cumulative foreign currency translation effects accounted for € 40 billion, mainly due to the strengthening U.S. Dollar versus the Euro. Market-related appreciation of € 91 billion stemmed from both fixed income (up by € 83 billion) and equity (up by € 8 billion) assets.

In the following section we focus on the development of third-party assets under management.

Third-party assets under management by geographic region as of September 30, 2010 (December 31, 2009)1) in %

We continued to observe a positive shift in the proportion of third-party assets under management in the United States, supported by strong fixed income net inflows. Asia-Pacific also improved its share to 9.4% of the third-party assets under management.

The split between fixed income and equity third-party assets remained largely unchanged: fixed income assets grew to 87% (December 31, 2009: 85%) while equity assets decreased to 13% (December 31, 2009: 15%).

The proportion of third-party assets under management from institutional and retail clients remained largely unchanged compared to December 31, 2009, at 67% and 33%, respectively.

1) Based on the origination of assets.

2) Consists of third-party assets managed by other Allianz Group companies (approximately € 18 bn as of September 30, 2010 and € 24 bn as of December 31, 2009, respectively).

Rolling investment performance of Allianz Global Investors1) in %

The overall investment performance of Allianz Global Investors' assets under management was outstanding with 87% outperforming their respective benchmarks (September 30, 2009: 77%). Fixed income assets recorded a distinctive outperformance of 91%, while equity assets' performance was stable with 61% outperforming their respective benchmarks.

Earnings Summary

Operating revenues

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Operating revenues amounted to € 1,256 million, an increase of € 357 million resulting mainly from a strong growth in assets under management and a shift to higher margin products. Excluding positive foreign currency effects of € 100 million, operating revenues increased by 28.8% on an internal basis.

Net fee and commission income increased by € 369 million to € 1,235 million. The growth was largely driven by a € 404 million increase in management and loading fees, partially offset by higher fee and commission expenses and lower performance fees.

Performance fees remained strong at € 73 million, despite a decrease of € 11 million.

Income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net) amounted to € 7 million. It was however below the prior period result of € 17 million due to lower seed money valuation gains and negative foreign currency translation effects from the U.S. Dollar cash reserves.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Operating revenues increased by € 1,165 million to € 3,560 million, including positive foreign currency translation effects of € 112 million.

1) AGI account-based, asset-weighted 3-year investment performance of third-party assets vs. benchmark including all equity and fixed income accounts managed by equity and fixed income managers of AGI. For some retail funds the net of fee performance is compared to the median performance of an appropriate peer group (Morningstar or Lipper; 1st and 2nd quartile mean out-performance). For all other retail funds and for all institutional accounts, performance is calculated gross of fees using closing prices (revaluated) where appropriate and compared to the benchmark of each individual fund or account. Other than under GIPS (Global Investment Performance Standards), the performance of closed funds/accounts is not included in the analysis. Also not included: in parts WRAP accounts and accounts of Joint-Venture GTJA China.

Operating profit

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

Operating profit

in € mn

We recorded operating profit of € 521 million due to strong growth in assets under management and superior performance. The overall increase was € 153 million or 41.6%.

In line with the exceptional performance (and high revenue growth), variable compensation and assets under management driven expenses increased. This expense increase was mainly from our fixed income business. Furthermore, our Asset Managers in the United States invested in the improvement of infrastructure and product initiatives. Thus, administrative expenses increased by € 204 million to € 735 million. Of this increase, € 55 million was from foreign currency effects.

Our cost-income ratio was 58.5%, 0.6 percentage points lower than the third quarter of 2009.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

Operating profit amounted to € 1,503 million, an increase of € 678 million, supported by the strong growth in assets under management and the high level of performance fees. The developments in all other positions were consistent overall with the 2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison.

Holding & Treasury

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

The operating loss for Holding & Treasury was € 237 million, down from a loss of € 252 million largely due to an improved foreign currency result.

Operating income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value (net) improved by € 17 million to € (18) million, largely due to a higher foreign currency result.

We recorded € 45 million in interest and similar income, a decrease of € 9 million. Still lower interest rates led to a € 10 million decrease in interest expenses, excluding interest expenses from external debt, to € 93 million.

Net fee and commission result was € (4) million compared to € (8) million in the third quarter of 2009, as the fee expenses from our internal IT service provider decreased.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

The operating loss improved by € 31 million to € 601 million. The improvement stemmed from an improved foreign currency result, partially offset by lower net interest result and net fee and commission result.

Banking

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

We recorded operating revenues of € 283 million, an increase of € 9 million. Our Banking business in Germany contributed most to the increase, supported by the Allianz Bank operations, launched in June 2009. Lower fee and commission income in Italy partially offset this positive development.

The operating loss reduced by € 13 million to a loss of € 24 million. Net interest result accounted for € 13 million of the improvement, driven by lower interest expenses excluding interest expenses from external debt. A further € 12 million stemmed from the net fee and commission result. Higher administrative expenses partially offset these positive effects. The third quarter of 2009 included non-recurring Allianz Bank set-up costs of € 24 million. A difficult economic environment took its toll especially in Central and Eastern Europe and is reflected in our Banking results.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

The operating loss more than halved to € 62 million, partly driven by € 118 million of non-recurring Allianz Bank set-up costs. The net fee and commission result and net interest result also developed positively. The overall loss was mainly driven by Central and Eastern Europe, and to some extent by Germany, France and Italy.

Alternative Investments

2010 to 2009 third quarter comparison

The operating loss increased from € 6 million to € 9 million. A reduction in administrative expenses could not compensate for the lower net fee and commission result and net interest result. The earnings of Alternative Investments derive from the alternative investments of Allianz SE and from the activities of the managers of Allianz Capital Partners and Allianz Real Estate.

2010 to 2009 first nine months comparison

The operating loss went down by € 7 million to € 13 million. Half of the change came from lower administrative expenses, while the net interest result and net fee and commission result also contributed to this positive development.

Balance Sheet Review

  • Shareholders' equity increased by 11.9% to € 44.9 billion.
  • Solvency ratio grew from 164% to 168%.1)

Shareholders' Equity2)

Shareholders' equity3)

in € mn

As of September 30, 2010, shareholders' equity amounted to € 44,900 million, an increase of € 4,792 million compared to December 31, 2009. Net income attributable to shareholders and favorable foreign currency translation effects increased our equity by € 3,918 million and € 894 million respectively. Unrealized gains contributed a further € 1,774 million. In the second quarter of 2010, Allianz SE paid dividends of € 1,850 million for the fiscal year 2009, which reduced equity.

Regulatory Capital Adequacy

Allianz Group is a financial conglomerate within the scope of the Financial Conglomerates Directive and the related German law in force since January 1, 2005. Under this directive, a financial conglomerate is defined as any financial parent holding company that, together with its subsidiaries has significant cross-border and cross-sector activities. The law requires that a financial conglomerate calculates the capital needed to meet the respective solvency requirements on a consolidated basis.

Conglomerate solvency1)

Available funds

As of September 30, 2010, our eligible capital for solvency purposes, required for our insurance segments and our banking and asset management business, was € 37.4 billion, including off-balance sheet reserves of € 1.9 billion, surpassing the minimum legally stipulated level by € 15.1 billion. This margin resulted in a cover ratio of 168% at September 30, 2010. Eligible capital at September 30, 2010 also includes a deduction for accrued dividends of € 1.6 billion for the first nine months of 2010, which represents 40% of net income attributable to shareholders. Our solvency position remains strong.

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. The solvency ratio excluding off-balance sheet reserves would be 159% (2009: 155%).

2) Does not include non-controlling interests of € 2,171 mn and € 2,121 mn as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. For further information, please refer to note 19 of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

3) Figures prior to third quarter of 2010 have been restated to reflect a change in Allianz Group's accounting policy. For further information please refer to note 2 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

4) Includes foreign currency translation effects.

Total Assets and Total Liabilities

In the following sections, we show the asset allocation for our insurance portfolio and analyze important developments within the balance sheets of our Property-Casualty, Life/Health, Asset Management and Corporate and Other segments.

As of September 30, 2010, total assets amounted to € 622.7 billion and total liabilities amounted to € 575.7 billion. When compared to the year-end 2009 total assets and total liabilities increased by € 39.0 billion and by € 34.2 billion, respectively.

Market environment of different asset classes

Equity markets were volatile during the first nine months of 2010. The first quarter started on a positive note, followed by a downturn in the second quarter. After solid financial halfyear results of companies across all sectors, equity markets performed positively during the third quarter. Overall, we saw slightly positive and negative developments across the worldwide equity markets during the first nine months of 2010.

Interest rates and credit spreads development

10-year interest rates of all major countries decreased during the first nine months of 2010. Overall interest rates in the third quarter 2010 were below third quarter levels in 2009.

In the third quarter 2009 credit spreads narrowed tremendously. This trend continued, but slowed down during the first half of 2010. During the third quarter of 2010 overall credit spreads narrowed slightly.

Structure of investments – Portfolio overview

Allianz Group's asset portfolio mainly derives from our core business of insurance. The following asset allocation covers the insurance segments together with the Corporate and Other segment.

Asset allocation1)

in %

Allianz Group's asset portfolio as of September 30, 2010: � 443.9 billion (as of December 31, 2009: � 408.7 billion)

The Group's investment portfolio grew by € 35.2 billion compared to the end of 2009 and by € 3.6 billion compared to the end of the second quarter of 2010. These increases were mainly driven by inflows provided by our underlying operating businesses, primarily from the Life/Health entities and supported by market developments.

Equities

During the first nine months of 2010, our gross exposure to equities increased from € 30.6 billion to € 31.1 billion driven by positive market developments, which were partially offset by divestments. During the first nine months, our equity gearing after policyholder participation and hedges – which is a ratio of our equity holdings allocated to the shareholder to shareholder's equity plus off-balance sheet reserves less goodwill – decreased slightly from 0.4 to 0.3.

1) Does not include our banking operations.

Debt instruments

The vast majority of our investment portfolio comprises debt instruments. Our investments in this asset class rose from € 364.8 billion to € 399.7 billion during the first nine months of 2010, mainly driven by net inflows, especially from our Life business.

From our well-diversified exposure in this asset class, a share of more than 60% relates to governments and covered bonds. In line with our operating business profile 66% of our fixed income portfolio is invested in Eurozone bonds and loans. Similarly, approximately 94% is invested in investment-grade bonds and loans.

Of our government exposure 75% is located in the Eurozone, where some governments experienced the threat of a liquidity shortage in recent quarters. Combined support efforts by other E.U. members and the International Monetary Fund helped to ensure financial stability.

As of September 30, 2010 our sovereign bond exposure (market values) in Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain (PIGS) amounted to € 9.3 billion. This exposure varies due to portfolio optimization strategies. The current unrealized losses of the PIGS sovereign bond holding were € 0.6 billion as of September 30, 2010.

Nearly 60% of covered bonds are German Pfandbriefe backed by either public sector loans or mortgage loans. On these as well as on all other covered bond exposures, a cushion against house price deterioration and payment defaults is provided by minimum required security buffers and voluntary over-collateralization.

Our portfolio includes ABS securities of € 21.8 billion. Around 31% or € 6.7 billion of our ABS securities are made up of U.S. agency MBS which were backed by the U.S. government.

Our exposure in subordinated securities in banks amounted to € 11.2 billion. Our tier 1 share remains low at 0.5% of our total exposure to debt instruments.

Real Estate

Our exposure to real estate held for investment increased by 6.7% to € 8.0 billion.

Net investment income 5,504 5,283

In the third quarter of 2010, our total investment result (net) amounted to € 5,504 million, an increase of 4.2% compared to last year's third quarter. A higher asset base and lower impairments from equities were the main drivers for this development. In addition, we realized higher gains, especially from the sale of debt and real estate investments. The fair value option results and trading were lower due to a partial sale of the fair value option portfolio in the United States and lower fair value option result in France, but these effects did not outweigh the positive effects reported above.

Interest and similar income1) rose by € 241 million to € 4,610 million, mainly driven by higher income from debt securities. A higher level of debt investments, especially in the Life/Health segment more than compensated lower yields on debt securities in the third quarter of 2010.

Income from investments held on fair value option and trading (net) decreased from € 500 million to € 150 million.

Realized gains and losses (net) amounted to € 990 million and therefore were up by 11.1% compared to the third quarter of 2009. Lower realized gains from our equity investments (decreased by € 145 million to € 557 million) were more than offset by higher realizations from debt and real estate investments (increased by € 244 million to € 433 million). In addition, we sold another tranche of ICBC shares in the third quarter of 2010.

Impairments (net) decreased significantly compared to the respective previous year period and amounted to € 69 million. No major impairments were booked on equities as markets performed well. Whereas, in the third quarter of 2009, we booked total impairments of € 282 million.

Assets and liabilities of the Property-Casualty segment

Property-Casualty assets

During the first nine months of 2010, our Property-Casualty asset base increased by € 4.1 billion to € 96.3 billion. This was primarily attributable to the development of our debt securities which rose by € 3.5 billion in total due to capital market developments, favorable foreign currency translation effects and net inflows. Equity investments increased by € 0.2 billion to € 5.2 billion. Our cash and cash pool assets were stable and amounted to € 4.3 billion.

Assets and liabilities of the Life/Health segment

Life/Health assets

In the first nine months of 2010, the Life/Health asset base increased by 8.8% to € 414.6 billion. Of this total, € 61.7 billion were financial assets for unit-linked contracts, which contributed € 4.7 billion to the overall increase. Without unit-linked contracts we recorded a significant increase in debt investments from € 182.5 billion to € 214.6 billion. This development was driven by strong net inflows from our Life insurance business, which was supported by credit spread narrowing, resulting in an increase in the value of our corporate bonds. Our equity investments increased by € 1.4 billion to € 22.3 billion. Cash and cash pool assets were down by € 2.3 billion to € 3.7 billion.

In conjunction with the change in accounting policy, the Allianz Group also sold a portfolio of financial assets which were designated at fair value through income which was previously held to mitigate interest rate volatility of the embedded derivatives. As of December 31, 2009 , the portfolio had a fair value of approximately € 3.6 billion. The portfolio was reduced to approximately € 0.5 billion as of September 30, 2010.

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 grew by € 4.7 billion to € 61.7 billion. Unit-linked insurance contracts increased by € 3.8 billion due to fund performance and premium inflows exceeding outflows by € 3.5 billion. Unitlinked investment contracts decreased by € 0.2 billion, mainly driven by bancassurance business in our Italian business operations. Currency effects mainly stemmed from the stronger U.S. Dollar (€ 0.5 billion) and Asian currencies (€ 0.5 billion) versus the Euro.

Life/Health reserves for insurance and investment contracts increased by € 24.9 billion or 8% in the first nine months of 2010. € 14.7 billion of the increase was driven by higher aggregate policy reserves; the main contributors were our operations in Germany (€ 6.2 billion), Italy (€ 2.4 billion), the United States (€ 2.7 billion excluding currency effects) and France (€ 1.4 billion). Reserves for premium refund were up by € 5.9 billion due to recovering capital markets. Significant currency effects resulted mainly from the stronger U.S. Dollar (€ 2.2 billion), Asian currencies (€ 1.0 billion) and the Swiss Franc (€ 0.8 billion) versus the Euro.

Assets and liabilities of the Asset Management segment

Asset Management assets

Our Asset Management segment's results of operations stem primarily from its management of third-party assets.1) In this section we refer only to our own assets.

Our own Asset Management segment's asset base, without third-party assets (as third-party assets are not shown on the Asset Management segment's balance sheet), increased in the first nine months of 2010 by € 0.7 billion to € 3.7 billion.

Asset Management liabilities

Liabilities in our Asset Management segment amounted to € 4.5 billion (up by 6.0%), mainly driven by higher liabilities to banks and customers.

Assets and liabilities of the Corporate and Other segment

Corporate and Other assets

Our asset base for Corporate and Other was down by 5.7% in the first nine months of 2010 to € 38.1 billion. The biggest movement was within loans and advances to banks and customers, down by € 4.5 billion to € 16.2 billion due to repayments of loans and a decrease in reverse repos. In addition, our equity investments declined by € 1.2 billion mainly due to disposals of ICBC shares. Investments in debt securities increased by € 3.1 billion due to a shift within our portfolio.

Corporate and Other liabilities

Our liabilities to banks and customers amounted to € 19.9 billion after € 21.2 billion at year-end 2009. This development was mainly due to a decrease in liabilities from term deposits.

Other liabilities decreased by € 1.9 billion to € 14.2 billion.

The increase within the certificated liabilities from € 14.1 billion to € 14.9 billion was mainly driven by an increase of Allianz SE's outstanding issued debt5) in this investment category of € 0.8 billion.

Reconciliations

The previous analysis is based on our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with them. In addition to our stated figures in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), Allianz Group uses operating profit and internal growth to enhance understanding of our results. These additional values should be viewed as complementary to, and not a substitute for, our figures determined in accordance with IFRS.

Reconciliation of Income from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes to Operating Profit1)

The Allianz Group uses operating profit to evaluate the performance of its business segments and the 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 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, we exclude the following non-operating effects:

  • acquisition-related expenses and the amortization of intangible assets, as these relate to business combinations;
  • restructuring charges, because the timing of these restructuring charges is largely at our discretion, and their exclusion provides additional insight into the operating trends of the underlying business. This differentiation is not made if the profit sources are shared with policyholders;

  • interest expenses from external debt, as these relate to our capital structure;

  • income from fully consolidated private equity investments (net), as this represents income from industrial holdings, which is outside the Allianz Group's normal scope of operating business;
  • income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net) as part of the income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net) for the Property-Casualty insurance operations and the Corporate and Other activities (except for certain items for the Holding & Treasury activities and Banking operations where the trading income refers to operating business). For the Life/Health insurance and Asset Management operations, this item is treated as operating business and is therefore not excluded;
  • realized capital gains and losses (net) or impairments of investments (net), as the timing of sales that would result in such realized gains or losses is largely at our discretion and impairments are largely dependent on market cycles or issuer-specific events over which we have little or no control and which can and do vary, sometimes materially, through time. This exclusion does not apply to Life/Health insurance operations, where the expenses for premium refunds in the operating profit correlate with realized gains and losses and impairments of investments.

1) For further information please refer to note 3 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

The definitions for non-operating income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net), realized capital gains and losses (net) and impairments of investments (net) state the general treatment in the segments. However, there are special cases which are different from this general treatment:

  • Property-Casualty insurance business: the line items are generally booked within the non-operating items; they can be classified as operating items if they are shared with the policyholders in the context of a casualty insurance product with premium refunds issued in the German market.
  • Life/Health insurance business: the line items are generally booked within operating profit; they can be classified as non-operating items if they stem from an investment where the results are not shared with the policyholders, for example strategic investments.

In certain cases the policyholders participate in the tax benefits of the Allianz Group. IFRS requires that the consolidated income statements present all tax benefits in the income tax line item, even though these belong to policyholders. In the segment reporting, the tax benefits are reclassified and shown within operating profit in order to properly reflect the policyholder participation in tax benefits.

Composition of Total Revenue Growth

We believe that an understanding of our total revenue performance is enhanced when the effects of foreign currency translation as well as acquisitions and disposals (or "changes in scope of consolidation") are excluded. Accordingly, in addition to presenting "nominal growth", we also present "internal growth", which excludes these effects.

Allianz Group Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

1 Basis of presentation

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 section 315a of the German Commercial Code (HGB). IFRS comprise International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), and 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 January 1, 2010, or adopted early. 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 December 31, 2009. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Allianz Group Annual Report 2009.

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 Euro (€ mn), unless otherwise stated.

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Allianz Group were authorized for issue by the Board of Management on November 9, 2010.

2 Recently adopted accounting pronouncements, changes in accounting policies and changes in the presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements (effective January 1, 2010)

IFRS 3, Business Combinations – revised and IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements – amended In January 2008, the IASB issued a revised version of IFRS 3, Business Combinations, and an amended version of IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The revised version of IFRS 3 contains the following major changes:

  • The scope of IFRS 3 has been extended and applies now also to combinations of mutual entities and to combinations achieved by contract alone.
  • For each business combination, non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree's net identifiable assets or at fair value .
  • Under the former IFRS 3, if control was achieved in stages, it was required to measure at fair value every asset and liability at each step for the purpose of calculating a portion of goodwill. The revised version requires that goodwill is measured as the difference at the acquisition date between the fair value of any investment in the business held before the acquisition, the consideration transferred and the net assets acquired. The acquirer remeasures any previously-held equity interest to fair value at the date of obtaining control with the difference being recorded in the consolidated income statement.
  • Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized as expenses and are not included in goodwill.
  • Contingent consideration must be recognized and measured at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in accordance with other IFRSs, usually in profit or loss. Goodwill is no longer adjusted for those changes.

The amended version of IAS 27 includes the following changes:

  • Transactions with non-controlling interests, i. e., changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control, are accounted for as equity transactions.
  • Losses are allocated to a non-controlling interest even if they exceed the non-controlling interest's share of equity in the subsidiary.
  • Any retained non-controlling investment at the date control is lost is remeasured to fair value.

The revised IFRS 3 applies prospectively for financial years beginning on or after July 1, 2009. The carrying amounts of any assets and liabilities that arose under business combinations prior to the application of the revised IFRS 3 are not adjusted. The amendments to IAS 27 need to be applied retrospectively with certain exceptions. Both standards have to be applied together. The Allianz Group adopted the revised IFRS 3 and the amended IAS 27 as of January 1, 2010. The adoption did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Further adopted accounting pronouncements

In addition to the above mentioned recently adopted accounting pronouncements, the following amendments and revisions to standards and the following interpretation have been adopted by the Allianz Group as of January 1, 2010:

  • IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement – Amendments for eligible hedged items
  • IFRS 2, Share-based Payment Amendments relating to group cash-settled share-based payment transactions
  • Improvements to IFRSs issued in May 2008 and April 2009 with an effective date as of January 1, 2010
  • IFRIC 17, Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners

The Allianz Group adopted the revisions, amendments and interpretation as of January 1, 2010, with no material impact on its financial result or financial position.

Changes in accounting policies and changes in the presentation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements

Reclassification of foreign currency gains and losses Until the third quarter of 2009, the Allianz Group reported foreign currency gains and losses arising from foreign currency transactions within "Investment expenses". With year-end reporting 2009, the Allianz Group voluntarily changed its accounting policy with regard to the presentation of foreign currency gains and losses. Those are now reported within "Income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net)". The Allianz Group believes that this presentation is more relevant and gives a clearer picture of investment expenses by excluding the distorting effects arising from foreign currency fluctuations. In addition, the Allianz Group is hedged substantially against foreign currency fluctuations with freestanding derivatives. Therefore, the recognition of foreign currency fluctuations within the line item "Income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net)" better reflects the results of the Allianz Group.

The change in accounting policy is applied retrospectively and results in changes in the presentation as described in the tables on pages 54 and 55. There is no impact on recognition, initial or subsequent measurement, net income or operating profit arising from this reclassification of foreign currency gains and losses.

Change in presentation of "Net income"

Until the third quarter of 2009, non-controlling interests (minority interests) were not included in "Net income" but were shown separately in the line item "Non-controlling interests (Minority interests in earnings)". Non-controlling interests were significantly larger in prior years. With yearend reporting 2009, the Allianz Group now includes all interests in "Net income". The allocation attributable to shareholders and attributable to non-controlling interests is presented just below "Net income". The change in presentation is applied retrospectively and results in changes in presentation as described in the tables on pages 54 and 55. There is no impact on recognition, initial or subsequent measurement or operating profit arising from this change in presentation.

Change in accounting policy for fixed-indexed annuities

Future policy benefits of the fixed-indexed annuity business implicitly include a series of annual market value liability options (MVLO) that are accounted for as derivatives at fair value. These embedded derivatives have been separated from the related policy reserves and presented within financial liabilities carried at fair value through income in our consolidated balance sheet. Historically, once the annual index option was credited to the policyholder's account, this benefit continued to be classified as a derivative at fair value. As such, the MVLO would continually grow over time.

Effective July 1, 2010, the Allianz Group voluntarily changed its accounting policy with regard to the valuation of the MVLO. Specifically, the fixed benefit accruing to the policyholder's account balance is reclassified back to policyholder reserves upon crediting. In addition, the fair value of the MVLO has been refined to incorporate a discount rate that is more consistent with the returns on the assets used to fund these derivative liabilities.

The effects of these changes are that the portion of the policyholder's account balance representing a credited amount will no longer be accounted for at fair value and the ongoing valuation of the MVLO will better reflect the indexed returns being offered to policyholders. The Allianz Group believes these changes mitigate artificial accounting volatility and better reflect the economics of the fixed-annuity business; consequently resulting in the presentation of more relevant and reliable financial information.

The voluntary change in accounting policy is applied retrospectively and results in changes in the presentation as described in the tables below.

In conjunction with the change in accounting policy, the Allianz Group also sold a portfolio of financial assets which were designated at fair value through income which was previously held to mitigate interest rate volatility of the embedded derivatives. As of December 31, 2009, the portfolio had a fair value of approximately € 3.6 bn. The portfolio was reduced to approximately € 0.5 bn as of September 30, 2010.

Other reclassifications

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

3 Segment reporting

Identification of reportable segments

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, the insurance categories are grouped into the following reportable segments:

Property-Casualty

  • German Speaking Countries
  • Europe incl. South America
  • NAFTA Markets
  • Global Insurance Lines & Anglo Markets
  • Growth Markets
  • Assistance (Mondial)

Life/Health

  • German Speaking Countries
  • Europe incl. South America
  • NAFTA Markets
  • Global Insurance Lines & Anglo Markets
  • Growth Markets

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 sum, the Allianz Group has identified 15 reportable segments in accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments.

The types of products and services from which reportable segments derive revenue are listed below.

Property-Casualty

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.

Life/Health

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 care insurance.

Asset Management

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.

Corporate and Other

The reportable segment Holding & Treasury includes the management and support of the Allianz Group's businesses through its strategy, risk, corporate finance, treasury, financial control, communication, legal, human resources and technology functions.

The reportable segment Banking consists of the banking activities in Germany, France, Italy and Central and Eastern Europe. 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 Allianz Group. The Alternative Investments reportable segment also includes certain fully consolidated private equity investments.

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 the consolidation. For the reportable segment Asset Management interest revenues are reported net of interest expenses.

Reportable segments measure of profit or loss

The Allianz Group uses operating profit to evaluate the performance of its reportable segments and the 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 excludes the following non-operating effects:

  • acquisition-related expenses and the amortization of intangible assets, as these relate to business combinations;
  • restructuring charges, because the timing of these are largely at the discretion of the Allianz Group, and accordingly their exclusion provides additional insight into the operating trends of the underlying business. This differentiation is not made if the profit sources are shared with policyholders;
  • interest expenses from external debt, as these relate to the capital structure of the Allianz Group;
  • income from fully consolidated private equity investments (net), as this represents income from industrial holdings, which is outside the Allianz Group's normal scope of operating business;
  • income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net) as part of the income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net) for the Property-Casualty insurance operations and the Corporate and Other activities (except for certain items for the Holding & Treasury activities and Banking operations where the trading income refers to operating business). For the Life/Health insurance and Asset Management operations, this item is treated as operating business and is therefore not excluded;
  • realized capital gains and losses (net) or impairments of investments (net), as the timing of sales that would result in such realized gains or losses is largely at the discretion of the Allianz Group and impairments are largely dependent on market cycles or issuer-specific events over which the Allianz Group has little or no control and which can and do vary, sometimes materially, through time. This exclusion applies not for Life/Health insurance operations, where the expenses for premium refunds in the operating profit are correlating with realized gains and losses and impairments of investments.

The definitions for non-operating income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net), realized gains/ losses (net) and impairments of investments (net) state the general treatment in the segments. However, there are special cases which are different from this general treatment:

  • Property-Casualty insurance business: the line items are generally booked within the non-operating items; they can be classified as operating items if they are shared with the policyholders, which occurs in the context of a casualty insurance product with premium refunds issued in the German market.
  • Life/Health insurance business: the line items are generally booked within operating profit; they can be classified as non-operating items if they stem from an investment where the results are not shared with the policyholders, for example strategic investments.

In certain cases the policyholders participate in the tax benefits of the Allianz Group. IFRS requires that the consolidated income statements present all tax benefits in the income tax line item, even though these belong to policyholders. In the segment reporting, the tax benefits are reclassified and shown within operating profit in order to properly reflect the policyholder participation in tax benefits.

Operating profit should be viewed as complementary to, and not a substitute for, income from continuing operations before income taxes or net income as determined in accordance with IFRS.

Recent Organizational Changes

At the beginning of 2010, the Allianz Group reorganized the structure of its insurance activities to reflect the changes in the responsibilities of the Board of Management. European insurance operations are shown together while Global Insurance Lines & Anglo Markets are shown separately from NAFTA Markets, respectively for both Property-Casualty and Life/Health insurance activities. Furthermore, Assistance (Mondial) now comprises a separate reportable segment within Property-Casualty insurance activities. Previously reported information has been restated to reflect this change in the composition of the Allianz Group's reportable segments.

This includes income of € 20 mn (2009: € 104 mn) from financial derivative instruments to protect investments and liabilities against foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

1) The presented subtotal for expenses and total income and expenses from fully consolidated private equity investments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, 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 € 59 mn (2009: € (26) mn) and € 109 mn (2009: € 89 mn) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. This consolidation effect results from the deferred policyholder participation, recognized on the result from fully consolidated private equity investments within operating profit in the business segment Life/Health, 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 January 12, 2009, the Allianz Group completed the transfer of ownership of Dresdner Bank AG to Commerzbank AG. Accordingly, assets and liabilities of Dresdner Bank AG, that were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2008, have been deconsolidated in the first quarter 2009. The loss from derecognition of discontinued operations amounts to € 395 mn and represents mainly the reclassification of components of other comprehensive income to net income.

Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the

period, both adjusted for the effects of potentially dilutive common shares. Potentially dilutive common shares arise from the assumed conversion of participation certificates issued by Allianz SE and share-based compensation plans into Allianz shares.

Other Information

38 Financial instruments

Reclassification of financial assets

In January 2009, certain USD denominated CDOs with a fair value of € 1.1 bn (notional amount of € 2.2 bn) were retained from Dresdner Bank. On January 31, 2009, subsequent to the derecognition of Dresdner Bank, 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. The expected recoverable cash flows as of the date of reclassification were € 1.8 bn, leading to an effective interest rate of approximately 7%.

During mid-2009, the CDOs were transferred to one of the Allianz Group's USD functional currency subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2009, the carrying amount and fair value of the CDOs was € 863 mn and € 856 mn, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, the carrying amount and fair value of the CDOs is € 816 mn and € 844 mn, respectively. In the first nine months of 2010, the changes in carrying amount and fair value were primarily impacted by cash receipts and the appreciation of the USD; foreign currency effects were recognized in other comprehensive income. The net profit related to the CDOs was not significant.

Review report

To Allianz SE, Munich

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the 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 the Allianz SE, Munich, for the period from January 1 to September 30, 2010 that are part of the quarterly financial report according to §37x Abs. 3 WpHG ["Wertpapierhandelsgesetz": "German Securities Trading Act"]. The preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with those 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 aspects, 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 aspects, 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 E.U., 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.
