1) Total revenues comprise statutory gross premiums written in Property-Casualty and Life/Health, operating revenues in Asset Management and total revenues in Corporate and Other (Banking).

2) The Allianz Group uses operating profit as a key financial indicator to assess the performance of its business segments and the Group as a whole.

3) Following the announcement of the sale on August 31, 2008, Dresdner Bank was classified as held for sale and discontinued operations. Therefore, all revenue and profit figures presented for our continuing business do not include the parts of Dresdner Bank that we sold to Commerzbank on January 12, 2009. Assets and liabilities of Dresdner Bank have been deconsolidated in the first quarter 2009. The loss from derecognition of discontinued operations amounted to € 395 mn and represents mainly the recycling of components of other comprehensive income. All income and expenses relating to the discontinued operations of Dresdner Bank have been reclassified and presented in a separate line item "Net loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes" in the condensed consolidated income statements for all years presented in accordance with IFRS 5.

4) The Allianz Group operates and manages its activities through four segments: Property-Casualty, Life/Health, Asset Management and Corporate and Other. For further information please refer to note 3 of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

5) 2009 figures as of December 31, 2009.

Executive Summary and Outlook

  • Revenues increased by 9.7% driven by Life/Health and Asset Management.
  • Operating profit up 20.4%, to € 1,709 million.
  • Property-Casualty combined ratio of 100.4%, heavily impacted by natural catastrophes.
  • Solvency ratio strengthens further to 168%1).

In the first quarter 2010 net income amounted to € 1,588 million, an increase of € 1,164 million compared to the low first quarter 2009 net income from continuing operations. Our Property-Casualty operations were severely impacted by a high level of natural catastrophe-related claims. Life/ Health benefited both from strong sales growth and a higher investment result, while Asset Management continued to deliver outstanding results.

On an internal basis3), revenues increased by 9.7%, predominantly driven by 17.3% growth in Life/Health. Asset Management achieved outstanding growth of 62.4%, while premium development in Property-Casualty was flat at (0.1)%.

Total revenues – Segments

Gross premiums written from Property-Casualty insurance were 0.1% behind the previous year on an internal basis, comprising a negative volume effect of 0.3% and a positive price effect of 0.2%, reflecting our selective underwriting.

Earnings Summary

Total revenues2)

Total revenues

in � bn

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) 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).

3) Internal total revenue growth excludes the effects of foreign currency translation as well as acquisitions and disposals. Please refer to page 36 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.

4) Total revenues include € (27) mn, € (12) mn and € 35mn from consolidation for 1Q 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Life/Health statutory premiums grew by 17.3% on an internal basis. We observed positive developments in our major markets and recovery of unit-linked sales. Consumer demand for investment-oriented products returned, while traditional life business also supported overall growth.

On an internal basis Asset Management revenues were 62.4% above the first quarter 2009, mostly driven by higher management and performance fees. Third-party assets under management continued to grow, supported by net inflows of € 37 billion and favorable market effects of € 26 billion. This positive development was mainly attributable to our fixed-income business and our equity business also contributed positively.

Total revenues from our Corporate and Other segment, which were entirely attributable to our Banking operations, increased by € 11 million to € 128 million on a nominal basis. This was predominantly due to the Allianz Bank in Germany, which was not yet active in the first quarter 2009.

Operating profit – Segments

in � mn

At € 712 million Property-Casualty segment operating profit fell by 26.5%. The high level of natural catastrophe claims of € 555 million dominated this unfavorable development. Our combined ratio increased to 100.4% from 98.7%.

In the Life/Health segment operating profit doubled from € 402 million to € 812 million. The strong development was driven by a robust investment result as capital markets improved and impairments reduced significantly.

Operating profit from our Asset Management segment increased by 120.9% to € 466 million. Our cost-income ratio continued its downward trend from the first quarter 2009, dropping to 58.2%, driven mainly by the strong rise in management and performance fees.

We recorded an operating loss of € 251 million in Corporate and Other compared to € 184 million for the first quarter 2009. A lower net interest result and fee result were the main drivers of this development.

Operating profit

Operating profit

in � mn

In the quarter under review, operating profit amounted to € 1,709 million, up 20.4% compared to the prior year period. Increased operating profit in Life/Health and Asset Management more than compensated for the lower operating profit in the Property-Casualty segment and increased operating loss from Corporate and Other.

1) Includes € (30) mn, € 21 mn and € (20) mn from consolidation for 1Q 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Non-operating result

Non-operating items amounted to a positive € 259 million, compared to a negative € 974 million in the prior year period. This positive development was driven by a € 1,392 million improvement in the non-operating investment result due to significantly lower impairments and much higher realized gains following capital markets recovery. Impairments decreased by € 700 million, while net realized gains rose by € 509 million to € 763 million, mostly attributable to a € 0.5 billion gain from the sale of shares in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC).

In addition, non-operating income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income was up € 183 million, positively impacted by a fair value increase in The Hartford warrants. In October 2008 Allianz invested U.S. Dollar 2.5 billion in The Hartford, in the form of subordinated debentures, shares and warrants, which currently entitle Allianz to purchase 18% of The Hartford. Since the warrants represent a freestanding financial derivative they are measured at fair value through income. An increase in the price of the underlying The Hartford shares in the first quarter 2010 led to a positive fair value impact of € 154 million.

Acquisition-related expenses rose by € 189 million to € 198 million mainly driven by higher so-called PIMCO B-unit expenses. 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 underlying earnings are reflected in acquisition-related expenses. The marginal difference between a higher call versus the put price upon any exercise is also included. The third expense component in this line item are the distributions received by the senior management B-unit holders.

Net income

Net income (loss) from continuing operations/Net income in � mn

Net income was € 1,588 million compared to € 424 million net income from continuing operations in the respective quarter of 2009.

In the first quarter 2009 we recorded a € 395 million loss from discontinued operations due to the sale and deconsolidation of Dresdner Bank.

Net income attributable to shareholders grew by € 1,521 million to € 1,550 million.

Income taxes amounted to € 380 million largely stemming from higher pre-tax income. The effective tax rate with 19.3% was positively affected by a tax exempt gain from the sale of ICBC shares.

Earnings per share1) in �

Conglomerate solvency3) in € bn

Our net income translates into basic earnings per share of € 3.44 and diluted earnings per share of € 3.43 for the first quarter of 2010.

Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity2) in � mn

As of March 31, 2010, shareholders' equity amounted to € 43,461 million, up 8.2% from December 31, 2009. Net income attributable to shareholders and unrealized gains increased our equity by € 1,550 million and € 787 million respectively, together with positive foreign currency translation effects of € 907 million.

As of March 31, 2010, our eligible capital for solvency purposes, required for our insurance segments and our banking and asset management business, was € 36.3 billion, including off-balance sheet reserves of € 2.0 billion (2009: € 2.0 billion) and surpassing the minimum legally stipulated level by € 14.7 billion. This margin resulted in a cover ratio of 168% at March 31, 2010. Eligible capital also includes a deduction for accrued dividends of € 1.9 billion at December 31, 2009, and an additional € 0.6 billion for the first quarter 2010 at March 31, 2010, which represents 40% of net income. Our solvency position therefore remains strong.

Risk Management

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

The information contained in the risk report in our 2009 Annual Report is still valid.

Events After the Balance Sheet Date

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

In April 2010, the following catastrophes occurred, none of which will lead to significant net claims to the Allianz Group based on the currently available information:

  • Eruption of the volcano Eyjafjallajoekull in Iceland and the consequential disruption to air travel.
  • Sinking of the oil rig "Deepwater Horizon" in the Gulf of Mexico and the resulting environmental disaster.

After many years of heavy government borrowing and spending in Greece, the rising level of Greek sovereign debt has placed a huge strain on the country's economy, resulting in a dramatic widening of credit spreads there. This also affected foreign currency rates, equity markets and the prices for other sovereign debt. With more than € 50 billion of debt to refinance in 2010, Greece has fallen into a severe sovereign debt crisis, and the risk of contagion to other Eurozone countries has arisen.

On May 7, 2010, Eurozone leaders approved a € 110 billion loan package to Greece, which will be backed by the E.U. and the IMF. The package is designed to prevent Greece from defaulting on its debt.

On May 10, 2010 Eurozone leaders agreed a € 750 billion plan to support the currency and prevent the Greek debt crisis from affecting other Eurozone countries. The financial markets reacted very favorably to these measures.

Outlook

Economic Outlook

The following Outlook should be interpreted in light of the high uncertainty surrounding the future development of the economy and financial markets, exacerbated by the continuing repercussions from the financial crisis of 2008- 2009.

Emerging from the crisis

Thanks to unparalleled fiscal expansion policies, the world economy began its recovery in Spring 2009 and gained growth momentum in the course of last year. Although economic dynamics are very varied across different regions, we expect economic recovery to continue in the course of 2010. However, in a host of countries it will take several years until output is back at pre-crisis levels. The financial markets, which regained their composure surprisingly quickly, are likely to remain susceptible to noise. In view of the risks stemming from the ongoing need for adjustment and consolidation, financial service providers will continue to operate in an uncertain environment.

Moderate growth: base scenario

The early months of 2010 were overshadowed by the Eurozone sovereign-debt crisis. The widening of credit spreads seen in individual Euro area countries (i. e. Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain) was mainly driven by uncertainties surrounding Greece's fiscal austerity measures and the support efforts by the IMF and the E.U. In spite of the commitment to provide up to € 110 billion of support to Greece, and the much less problematic fiscal and credibility picture in other Eurozone countries, risk premiums remained at very high levels. Further contagion of other markets cannot be ruled out. The need for timely, wide-ranging, and marketconvincing austerity measures – not only in Greece but also in most other Eurozone countries as well as in the U.K. and the U.S. – has moved center-stage.

Our base scenario is that, eventually, such measures will weigh on the medium-term economic prospects and as a consequence growth will be positive but more moderate than in the years before the crisis.

The decline of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar and the low interest rate level will give a stimulus to economic activity. Furthermore, in most countries fiscal and monetary policy will still be having an expansionary impact in 2010. The world economy is likely to see growth in the region of 3 to 3.5% in 2010. The picture in the industrial countries is not quite so favorable. Growth of 2 to 2.5% this year will still not fully offset last year's drop of almost 3.5%. The importance of the emerging markets in the world economy continues to grow. They have become the global growth engine. Their overall output is set to rise by 5.5% in 2010 following stagnation in 2009.

Economies without seriously over-indebted private and public sectors will tend to recover more quickly than countries where consolidation is of the essence. This also explains why the upcoming but, in some cases, heavily indebted economies of Eastern Europe are getting back into their stride more slowly than the Asian emerging markets with their surpluses. The robust performance of key Latin American countries is a positive surprise.

The U.S. economy shook off the crisis in the second half of 2009. There are now indications that it will record higher growth than the Euro area in 2010. In Europe, the German economy is likely to record a slightly above-average performance. In the course of the first quarter of 2010, the risk assessment of the creditworthiness of European government bonds has changed substantially. Greece, in particular, has seen its bond spreads over German Bunds soar. Concomitantly, Euro area members and the IMF have agreed on the importance of delivering a financial assistance program to Greece large enough to allow it to refrain from tapping capital markets in the near term. This type of crisis management was necessary in the short run; in the longer run, a revision of the Stability and Growth Pact is essential. With the political will to strengthen the Stability and Growth Pact, confidence in the single currency should be restored gradually.

The financial market crisis had a substantial impact on asset prices. First and foremost, the flight to safety triggered a dramatic slide in government bond yields – particularly for the core industrial countries. This pattern repeated itself during the Greek crisis. We do not expect yields to languish permanently at a low level. In particular, we expect to see a slight pickup in inflation, hefty government bond issuance weighing heavily on capital markets and a gradual reining in of expansionary monetary policy. In a somewhat more friendly economic environment, all of this will serve to push up capital market yields. The economic recovery will provide a positive boost to stock markets despite ongoing market volatility.

Our base scenario is that Greece's sovereign debt crisis will not derail the unfolding economic recovery. The € 750 billion safety net for overstretched countries just announced by E.U. leaders demonstrates resolute E.U. action to ensure financial stability. This mitigates the lingering risk of contagion in the Eurozone and potentially to the banking industry. However, to secure long-term confidence in the Euro, the E.U. must give its fiscal discipline a stronger institutional anchor by strengthening the Stability and Growth Pact and the debt-laden countries must forge ahead with their own rigorous and credible reforms.

Outlook for the Allianz Group

We remain strongly capitalized, and the underlying fundamentals in our operations are healthy and robust. Allianz is well positioned to deliver increasing value over the long term.

Our performance in the first quarter of 2010 reflects this. Our solvency ratio stood at 168%, and we delivered a significant improvement in operating profit over the same period in the previous year despite our Property-Casualty business experiencing an unusually high burden of losses from natural causes. Both our Life/Health and Asset Management segments performed very strongly, delivering results that more than offset the shortfall in Property-Casualty. This demonstrated once again that we are able to compensate for earnings volatility in single business segments, and to exploit profitable growth opportunities.

Our guidance for Allianz Group operating profit in 2010 is unchanged at around € 7.2 billion, plus or minus € 0.5 billion. For full details of the assumptions and sensitivities on which this outlook is based, please refer to the Allianz Group Annual Report 2009.

As stated in those assumptions, a U.S. Dollar conversion rate diverging by more than 10% from the planned rate of 1.45 to the Euro would lead to an operating profit impact of plus or minus € 0.2 billion. As of May 11, 2010, the Euro had an exchange rate of around 1.30 implying a favorable foreign currency translation effect of approximately € 0.2 billion for the year as a whole should this exchange rate persist. This was already allowed for in the Allianz Group operating profit range mentioned above.

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 our results of operations.

Property-Casualty Insurance Operations

  • Gross premiums written flat at € 13,994 million.
  • Operating profit of € 712 million significantly burdened by natural catastrophe claims of € 555 million.
  • Combined ratio of 100.4%, including 5.9 percentage points from natural catastrophes.

Earnings Summary

Gross premiums written1)

Gross premiums written were stable, down marginally by 0.1% on an internal basis. This development was mainly due to lower volume, down by 0.3%, and a positive price effect of 0.2%. The volume effect was driven by our operations in Germany (down by 3.3%), the United States (down by 11.5%), France (down by 4.5%), Italy (down by 4.6%) and the credit insurance business (down by 8.6%). Nonetheless, we observed progress in growth markets such as South America, and where we observed positive price increases (Australia and the United Kingdom).

On a nominal basis, revenues increased by 0.8% or € 108 million to € 13,994 million including a favorable foreign currency translation effect of € 126 million. This stemmed mainly from a positive development of the Australian Dollar, the Brazilian Real and the Swiss Franc which overcompensated a negative effect of the U.S. Dollar.

We analyze our property-casualty internal premium growth according to 'price' and 'volume'-effects. This produces the following 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 the United Kingdom revenues were € 463 million. On an internal basis, excluding a negative foreign currency effect of € 10 million stemming from a weaker pound sterling, premiums went up by 4.6%. This was mainly due to an increased policy count in commercial lines and new partnerships in corporate. Higher rates in the retail business partially offset a lower policy count due to the ongoing portfolio cleaning. We estimate the positive price effect to be 3.5%.

In South America, gross premiums written stood at € 333 million. All countries contributed positively to the premium growth of 11.6%. Brazil contributed with increases mainly in health and other non-motor business, whereas motor insurance business shrunk due to high competition. On a nominal growth basis we benefited from a favorable foreign currency translation effect of € 45 million, leading to a nominal growth rate of 29.1%.

In Australia we recorded revenues of € 440 million. Internal growth, excluding a favorable foreign currency translation effect of € 97 million, was 4.9%. This development was mainly a result of rate increases, implemented during 2009, which affected commercial motor business, as well as household in non-motor business. We estimate the positive price effect to be 4.5%. Volume also grew, particularly in personal lines.

Cluster 2

At Allianz Sach in Germany revenues fell by 3.3% to € 3,900 million. This decline was driven by a reduction in volume, mainly relating to our motor business due to portfolio cleaning in fleets and selective underwriting in the last renewal season in the retail business. Whereas in motor overall prices declined, we recorded substantial price increases in non-motor business. We estimate the overall price effect to be zero.

Gross premiums written in France amounted to € 1,146 million, down by 2.1%. We accepted the loss of some volume, particularly in our commercial lines, especially due to portfolio cleaning in fleet business. However, in personal lines we grew due to strong price increases. The estimated positive price effect on premiums written was 2.5%.

Despite the impact of the strong economic recession in Spain, revenues increased by 1.5% to € 668million. We recorded higher volume due to dynamic commercial activity, supported by the recovery of private car sales from the end of 2009 due to car scrapping incentives. Prices fell however, mainly due to a negative development in fleet business and commercial lines, and a generally soft market environment. Despite the negative price impact – which we estimate at around 5.8% – our Spanish operation is one of our most profitable businesses.

Revenues in the United States amounted to € 638 million. On an internal basis, excluding a negative foreign currency translation impact of € 39 million, revenues declined by 10.9%. This development was due to reduced volume, mainly in our crop insurance business (impact of € 61 million) and in commercial business. In the latter, the decline was attributable mostly to persistent soft market conditions, economic recession and selective underwriting. However, the overall price effect was positive, we estimate it to be 0.6%, and was driven by rate increases in personal lines.

In our credit insurance business premiums declined by 3.6% to € 512 million. Volume was down by 8.6% following a deliberate and drastic reduction of our exposure in high risk classes as well as a fall in the business turnover of our customers. At the same time, we increased prices, and estimate this positive effect to be 5.0%.

In Central and Eastern Europe, revenues amounted to € 782 million. On an internal basis, excluding a positive foreign currency translation impact of € 46 million, the increase was 1.1%. The development was driven by an increase in volume, for example in voluntary health insurance business in Russia. A fall in new car sales and reduced premium levels, especially in our motor business, had a negative impact particularly in Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. Overall, the price effect was negative, we estimate it to be 1.1%.

Gross premiums written in Asia-Pacific amounted to € 122 million. Growth was 13.2% mainly driven by higher volume stemming mostly from our Malaysian operations thanks to a favorable development in motor business. On a nominal basis, premiums reduced by 3.2%, which was almost entirely related to the transfer of Allianz Fire and Marine Insurance Japan from Asia-Pacific to AGCS.

Cluster 3

In Italy we recorded revenues of € 945 million. The decline in premiums was 5.4% and was predominantly driven by a decrease in our non-motor business as small- and mediumsized commercial businesses were burdened by the effects of economic recession. We strictly observed our selective underwriting approach and undertook further portfolio cleaning and re-pricing. This resulted in a decrease in volume for example in the motor business, where significant tariff increases, implemented in the last quarter of 2009 to compensate for the impacts of the so-called "Bersani law" and "Milan tables" (new tables for bodily injury claims), could not compensate for declining volume. Overall, we estimate the negative price effect on premiums written to be 0.8%.

At AGCS, premiums amounted to € 1,177 million, representing a decrease of 5.6%, largely stemming from volume declines, in particular in the marine and property insurance businesses. Volume growth in financial lines and energy partly counteracted that development. Overall, price changes were slightly negative with only aviation rates showing an increase. We estimate the negative price effect to be 1.0%. On a nominal basis revenues decreased only by 1.3%, including the transfer of Allianz Fire and Marine Insurance in Japan, from Asia-Pacific to AGCS.

Operating profit

Operating profit

The segment's operating profit was down by 26.5%, or € 257 million, to € 712 million, severely hit by natural catastrophes in the first three months of 2010. We estimate the total net impact of these claims from natural catastrophes to be € 555 million for Allianz Group, which is € 367 million higher than the average natural catastrophe impact that we allow for (2.0 percentage points of the accident year loss ratio per year). These impacts were partially offset by reserve releases of € 331 million relating to prior years. Nonetheless, the underwriting result was significantly burdened by the above-mentioned claims from natural catastrophes and therefore decreased by € 167 million, turning to a negative € 83 million. Net investment income decreased by 9.0% to € 774 million, primarily because of lower interest rates and lower foreign currency gains, partially offset by foreign exchange hedging activities.

The combined ratio stood at 100.4%, 1.7 percentage points above the comparison period in 2009. Some 5.9 percentage points of the combined ratio related to the already mentioned natural catastrophes. Our accident year loss ratio increased by 2.5 percentage points to 75.9%. The expense ratio increased by 0.4 percentage points to 28.0%. The favorable run-off ratio was 3.5%, 1.2 percentage points higher than last year.

The accident year loss ratio of 75.9%, included 5.9 percentage points or € 555 million related to natural catastrophe claims. The impact of natural catastrophes in the prior year period accounted for € 200 million and made up for 2.1 percentage points of the 73.4% accident year loss ratio. The most significant events in the first quarter 2010 were windstorm "Xynthia" and the earthquake in Chile. "Xynthia" affected us in France, the Iberian Peninsula, and large parts of Central Europe. The Chilean earthquake affected AGCS.

The following operating entities contributed most to the development of our accident year loss ratio:

  • Our operations in Germany added 1.3 percentage points to the adverse development of our accident year loss ratio. Germany was severely hit by the windstorm "Xynthia" (impact on the German accident year loss ratio development was 3.6 percentage points). Tap water claims resulting from the hard winter were again high. In addition, claims frequency increased, especially in motor due to black ice as the northern part of Germany in particular was hit by severe weather conditions. In addition, the impact of large claims was also slightly higher.
  • Italy added another 0.1 percentage points to the development of the accident year loss ratio due to the impact of the so-called "Milan tables", which increased severity significantly, and some large claims in property business. In addition, past average premium development in motor still put the Italian accident year loss ratio under pressure. Price increases, which were implemented to compensate the effects of the Milan tables were not yet earned in the first quarter. Nonetheless, we observed in motor, liability and property business a sharp decline in frequency due to portfolio cleaning executed in the last months.
  • In the United States we recorded the highest level of first quarter natural catastrophe losses over the past five years, amounting to € 46 million due to a number of natural catastrophe events in different parts of the country such as freezes, snow storms, flood and high winds. For commercial lines we observed increasing average claims costs. Overall, this led to an impact of 0.8 percentage points on the accident year loss ratio.
  • Our reinsurance business contributed 0.8 percentage points to the increase in our accident year loss ratio. This is mainly driven by the extraordinarily high level of ceded claims from our operating entities due to natural catastrophes.

  • Some relief in the adverse development of our accident year loss ratio came from France, where the accident year loss ratio declined, due to the relatively lower impact of natural catastrophes. The impact of windstorm "Xynthia" in 2010, affecting France with € 66 million, was less than the impact of windstorms "Klaus" and "Quinten" (impact of € 86 million) in the previous year. In addition, we recorded a significantly lower impact of single large claims summing up to € 67 million, which were exceptionally high in the first quarter of 2009 at € 136 million. Higher prices helped at the same time. The favorable effect from France on the segment accident year loss ratio was 1.1 percentage points.

  • The credit insurance business also contributed positively to our accident year loss ratio development as we recorded a sharp decline in claims frequency following the drastic risk and commercial actions taken since the end of 2007. In addition, there were no large claims. The impact on our accident year loss ratio was 0.6 percentage points.

Releases of prior years' loss reserves of € 331 million were € 119 million greater than prior year. Consequently, our run-off ratio of 3.5% was 1.2 percentage points higher than last year.

The expense ratio went up by 0.4 percentage points to 28.0%.

Acquisition and administrative expenses increased by 2.3% or € 58 million to € 2,633 million, although we benefited from a positive one-off effect in the first quarter of 2010 from changes to our external reinsurance arrangements. However, an unfavorable foreign currency translation effect of € 33 million and some exceptional items like the concentration of the Swiss back-office function in Zurich or startup costs for our partnerships newly entered in the United Kingdom, led in total to the above mentioned increase.

Operating net investment income 774 851

Net investment income decreased by 9.0% to € 774 million. Interest and similar income declined by € 54 million to € 879 million mainly driven by lower yields on debt compared to the previous year. However, compared to the fourth quarter 2009, the decline in interest income was only minor. Most of the debt previously at higher interest-bearing levels in the portfolio has now rolled over at lower interest rates. Net of interest expenses, which also decreased, the decline was € 45 million.

Change in reserves for insurance and investment contracts (premium refunds) stood at € (43) million and showed an increase in reserves of € 53 million as a consequence of higher investment income.

Operating income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net) declined by € 53 million to € 9 million, mainly stemming from unfavorable foreign currency translation effects, down by € 40 million, and negative impacts from equity hedging, which are offset in shareholders' equity through unrealized gains.

These developments were counteracted by operating impairments of investments (net) which were zero for the first three months of 2010 after € 62 million in the respective comparison period one year ago, reflecting the improvement in capital market conditions.

Operating realized gains/losses net increased by € 13 million to € 9 million, due to favorable sales of debt securities within the UBR business (a casualty insurance product with premium refunds issued in the German market).

Earnings Summary

Statutory premiums1)

Statutory premiums grew by 17.3% on an internal basis. Growth was driven by a combination of positive developments in our major markets and recovery of unit-linked sales following a particularly low level in 2009. We see a return of consumer demand for investment products in general with continued preference for investment contracts with guarantees. Traditional life business also supported overall growth.

Statutory premiums – Internal growth rates2) in%

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

Premiums in our German life business grew by 12.6% to € 3,919 million. This increase is a result of a return in demand for traditional life products as well as continued demand for investment-oriented products from private and commercial customers. The growth is attributable to single premium business, recurring premiums decreased slightly. The German health business recorded revenue growth of 1.5%.

In Switzerland, premiums increased to € 806 million. The growth rate of 13.7% reflects higher sales of single premium and regular premium group life contracts.

Premiums in Italy were up by 26.0% to € 2,840 million, as unit-linked products came back into favor after a crisisdominated first quarter in 2009, where growth was driven by strong sales in our financial advisors channels. We also continue to see strong sales in our investment products with guarantees via our bancassurance channel. New bancassurance agreements with small local banks further supported this growth development.

Our premiums in France increased by 38.5% to € 2,471 million. Similar to our Italian development, we see a return in demand for single premium pure unit-linked contracts. In addition, investment-oriented products with guarantees continued to perform well, especially with our partnerships distribution channel following a sales campaign this quarter.

In the United States, following the first quarter large sales volume of variable annuity products in 2009, we have comparatively lower sales this quarter. The drop in variable annuity sales leads to a total premium decrease of 17.7% to € 1,651 million. Our new variable annuity riders are selling well and we continued to see strong demand for our fixed index annuity products.

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

In Asia-Pacific, consumer demand for pure unit-linked and investment-oriented products is high. Our premiums grew by 98.4% to € 1,625 million following a marked increase in sales in Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The majority of our growth of 116.4% or € 347 million in Taiwan is in single premium unit-linked business. In Japan, new bank partnerships selling our variable annuity products drove the increase in premiums by 545.5% or € 240 million. In South Korea growth came from investment-oriented business with guarantees, mainly due to strong demand for our single premium equity index annuity products sold via the bancassurance channel.

In last year's quarter, we saw strong premium growth in Central and Eastern Europe. Given the challenging economic conditions we performed well and have been able to maintain broadly the same level of premiums, with a slight increase of 0.3%. Due to favorable currency effects, premiums increased on a nominal basis by 8.8% to € 333 million. In the first three months of 2010, we saw a shift in demand from index-linked to pure unit-linked and traditional products.

Operating profit

Operating profit

in € mn

Operating profit doubled from € 402 million to € 812 million. The strong development was driven by a robust investment result as capital markets improved and impairments reduced significantly.

Interest and similar income amounted to € 3,545 million, equating to a quarterly yield of 1.1%1). We recorded an increase of € 240 million mainly due to higher interest income on a growing portfolio, and higher dividends from our equity holdings.

Net gain from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income increased to € 62 million. Recovering equity markets resulted in a positive effect on fair value, offsetting a decrease in trading result, mainly in the United States.

Investment expenses stood at € 145 million.

Improved market conditions allowed for an increase in net realized gains and losses (net) from € 171 million to € 538 million.

Net impairments on investments decreased significantly from € 1,076 million to € 39 million. Last year's high equity impairments, especially in Germany and France, were not repeated this quarter as financial markets stabilized.

Change in reserves for insurance and investment contracts (net) amounted to € 3,046 million, € 2,461 million higher than in the first quarter 2009. This was driven by an increase of reserves for premium refunds to policyholders as a consequence of higher investment income.

Net claims and insurance benefits incurred decreased by 5.8% to € 4,845 million.

Acquisition and administrative expenses (net) amounted to € 1,201 million, down 16%. Administration expenses increased slightly by 5.9%. Acquisition costs decreased by 23.3%. This is driven by a change in our presentation of deferred sales inducements (DSI) in the United States from net to gross, and comparatively lower deferred acquisition costs (DAC) amortization from assumption changes impacting true-ups in Germany.

Our cost-income ratio improved by 1.5 percentage points to 95.8% due to better investment performance compared to the premiums generated in the period.

Further recovery of the markets led to market-related appreciation of € 26 billion, of which € 21 billion came from fixed-income securities and € 5 billion from equities. Positive foreign currency translation effects of € 41 billion, mainly driven by the strengthening U.S. Dollar versus the Euro, added to the growth in asset values.

Operating revenues amounted to € 1,116 million, exceeding the first quarter 2009 by 55.9%. This includes negative foreign currency exchange effects of € 52 million.

Net fee and commission income rose by € 388 million to € 1,097 million. Management fees grew by € 284 million to € 1,104 million reflecting the increase in average assets under management and respective assets under management driven margin.

Performance fees of € 128 million exceed the previous year's quarter by € 114 million. The majority came from our fixed income business and equity products also contributed positively. The level of performance fees observed in the first quarter 2010 is driven by the fee measurement approach and the investment performance of the individual mandates and funds. As the occurrence of performance fees is very much dependent on the parameters of every single fee measurement approach, the order of magnitude of performance fees can vary considerably.

The increase in other revenues is predominantly due to a positive swing in seed money investments, reported under income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income.

Compared to year-end 2009, the performance of Allianz Global Investors' assets under management remained robust for equity products, 61% of which (December 31, 2009: 63%) outperformed their benchmarks. Our fixed-income products performed strongly with 88% (December 31, 2009: 83%) outperforming their respective benchmarks.

Fund-of-funds at AGI Germany and AGI Solutions as well as funds/accounts at Allianz GTJA China are not considered. For some retail equity 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, the performance of closed funds/accounts is not included in the analysis. Not included until 3Q 2009: AGI Taiwan, AGI Singapore, AGI Korea, AGI France, AGI Netherlands and AGI Italy.

Operating profit

Operating profit

At € 466 million operating profit was up 120.9% compared to the same period in the previous year. This outstanding development was due to higher management and performance fees, partially offset by an increase in variable compensation in line with the improvement in results.

Administrative expenses increased by € 145 million (+28.7%) to € 650 million. Strong profit growth led to an increase in performance-related expenses, while non-performance related staff expenses remained almost flat.

Our cost-income ratio improved considerably, down 12.3 percentage points to 58.2%.

Earnings Summary Holding & Treasury

The Holding & Treasury's operating loss increased by € 56 million to € 226 million. This was attributable to a € 32 million decline in the net interest result driven by lower yields and a € 27 million decrease in the net fee result. This was due to a reduction in net fees generated by our internal IT service provider.

Interest and similar income amounted to € 53 million compared to € 116 million in the prior year period. This development is mainly due to the continuing low shortterm interest rate environment.

Interest expenses, excluding interest expenses from external debt were impacted by lower yields and lower levels of internal debt, leading to a decrease of € 31 million to € 95 million.

Earnings Summary Banking

Operating revenues declined by € 12 million to € 265 million. Fee and commission income rose by € 26 million to € 102 million through improved sales volumes in Germany (Allianz Bank was not yet operational in 1Q 2009), and in Italy. However, lower interest rates and deposit volumes led to a € 31 million decline (to € 169 million) in interest and similar income.

The operating loss amounted to € 23 million compared to a loss of € 9 million in the same period in the previous year. Operating expenses remained flat at € 288 million (1Q 2009: € 286 million). Interest expenses were also affected by lower interest rates and decreased by € 35 million. This was mostly offset by a € 19 million increase in administrative expenses, as the Allianz Bank in Germany is now operational, together with an € 11 million rise in fee and commission expenses.

Earnings Summary Alternative Investments

The operating loss declined by € 3 million to € 2 million. This improvement was driven by an increase in interest and similar income, partly off-set by a decrease in fee and commission income. The earnings of Alternative Investments derive from the alternative investments of Allianz SE and from the activities of the managers of Allianz Captial Partners (Private Equity) and Allianz Real Estate.

Balance Sheet Review

  • Shareholders' equity of € 43.5 billion.
  • Strong solvency ratio of 168%.

Shareholders' Equity1)

Shareholders' equity

in € mn

As of March 31, 2010, shareholders' equity amounted to € 43,461 million, up 8.2% from December 31, 2009. Net income attributable to shareholders and unrealized gains increased our equity by € 1,550 million and € 787 million respectively, together with positive foreign currency translation effects of € 907 million.

Regulatory Capital Adequacy

Allianz Group is a financial conglomerate within the scope of the Financial Conglomerates Directive and the related German law effective 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 solvency

As of March 31, 2010, the Allianz Group's eligible capital for the solvency margin, required for the insurance segments and the asset management and banking business, was € 36.3 billion (2009: € 34.8 billion) including off-balance sheet reserves3) of € 2.0 billion (2009: € 2.0 billion), and surpassing the minimum legally stipulated level by € 14.7 billion (2009: € 13.6 billion). This margin resulted in a cover ratio of 168% (2009: 164%) as of March 31, 2010. Eligible capital also includes a deduction for accrued dividends of € 1.9 billion (approved at the Annual General Meeting) at December 31, 2009 and additional € 0.6 billion for the first quarter 2010 at March 31, 2010. Our solvency position therefore remains strong.

1) Does not include non-controlling interests of € 2.124 bn and € 2.121 bn as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. For further information please refer to note 18 to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.

2) Includes foreign currency translation effects.

3) 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%).

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 March 31, 2010, total assets amounted to € 607.7 billion and total liabilities amounted to € 562.1 billion. When compared to the year-end 2009 total assets and total liabilities increased by € 23.7 billion and by € 20.3 billion, respectively.

Market environment of different asset classes

During the first quarter 2010 equity markets showed a moderate positive development, positively impacted by increasing optimism with regards to economy recovery.

10-year interest rates of all major countries decreased during the first quarter 2010. Overall, interest rate levels are above end of first quarter 2009 levels.

Credit spreads have reached the level of the second half of 2007. The first three months in 2010 showed a slight – but further – decrease in corporate spreads.

Structure of investments – Portfolio overview

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

Asset allocation1)

Overall, the Group's investment portfolio increased by € 17.9 billion compared to the end of 2009. This increase was both market-driven as well as through growth provided by our underlying operating business, primarily from the Life/Health entities.

Equities

During the first three months in 2010, our gross exposure to equities slightly increased by € 0.5 billion to € 31.1 billion as positive market developments outweighed net equity divestments. During the course of the first quarter 2010, our equity gearing after policyholder participation and after hedges – which is a ratio of our equity holdings allocated to the shareholder to shareholder's equity plus off-balance sheet reserves less goodwill – was stable at 0.4.

Debt instruments

The vast majority of our investment portfolio comprises debt instruments. Our exposure to this asset class rose from € 364.8 billion to € 382.1 billion during the first three months 2010, representing a portfolio share of 90%. The increase is driven by net investments especially from our Life business as well as bond market performance. Currency effects due to U.S. Dollar appreciation also had a positive impact.

1) Does not include our banking operations.

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, nearly 70% of our fixed-income portfolio is invested in Eurozone bonds and loans. Similarly, approximately 95% is invested in investment-grade bonds and loans.

More than 75% of our government exposure is located in the Eurozone, where some governments have begun to struggle during the last quarters. Our exposure to Greece is significantly underweight compared to market benchmarks.

Exposure (gross) of total fixed income portfolio1)

Three months ended March 31, 2010 € bn %
Greece 3.3 0.9
Total PIGS2) 14.3 3.7

We currently do not expect any impact on net income from our Greek exposure based on current information available.

More than 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 € 21.4 billion. We closely monitor this exposure and feel comfortable with our holdings in this sector. We have seen rating downgrades in our ABS portfolio, mainly from AAA to AA or A, but we did not have significant impairments in this asset class. Around 36% or € 7.7 billion of our ABS securities are made up of U.S. agency MBS which received a helping hand from the U.S. government.

Our exposure in subordinated securities in banks amounted to € 11.7 billion. Our tier 1 share remains low at less than 1% of our total exposure to debt instruments.

Real Estate

Our exposure to real estate instruments held for investments remained at € 7.4 billion.

Net investment income 5,611 2,503

In the first quarter 2010, we earned a total investment result of € 5,611 million, an increase of more than 124% compared to last year's first quarter. The increase mainly reflects lower impairments from equities and a higher harvesting appetite.

A lower yield on our debt securities in the first quarter 2010 was compensated by an increased volume on debt investments with the effect that interest and similar income (net of interest expenses) rose by € 208 million. Volatile income drivers such as income from fair value option and trading have positively benefited from reduced credit spreads as well as from positive equity market development.

Realized gains and losses increased significantly compared to the first quarter 2009, standing at € 1,310 million. This is partly attributable to one-off effects such as the sale of ICBC shares (realized gain of € 0.6 billion of which € 0.5 billion is non-operating result). Also, we normally see cyclicality in the harvesting result in the first and second quarter, and this is now reflected in a comparable high harvesting result.

Impairments, especially for equities, decreased significantly. In the first quarter of 2009 we took total impairments of € 1.9 billion, compared to € 0.1 billion in the first quarter 2010.

1) Total fixed income portfolio amounted to € 382.1 bn.

2) Including Greece, Portugal, Ireland and Spain.

3) Net of interest expenses (excluding interest expenses from external debt).

Assets and liabilities of the Property-Casualty segment

Property-Casualty assets

During the first quarter 2010, our Property-Casualty asset base increased by € 4.3 billion to € 96.5 billion. This was primarily attributable to positive net inflows of € 2.5 billion, mainly in debt securities which rose by € 3.0 billion in total. Another positive driver was a favorable foreign currency translation effect of € 0.9 billion. The equity investments were stable at € 5.0 billion. Our cash and cash pool assets amounted to € 4.7 billion, showing a slight increase of € 0.3 billion.

Assets and liabilities of the Life/Health segment

Life/Health assets

In the first quarter 2010, the Life/Health asset base increased by 4.7% to € 397.0 billion. We recorded a significant increase in debt investments from € 282.8 billion to € 297.0 billion. This development was driven by strong net inflows from our Life insurance business and by credit spread narrowing resulting in an increase in the value of our corporate bonds. Our equity investments increased slightly by € 1.0 billion to € 21.9 billion due to well performing equity markets. Cash and cash pool assets were down by € 0.5 billion to € 5.5 billion following our strategy for further decreasing our cash position.

Change in unit-linked investment contracts B

Foreign currency translation adjustments C

Financial assets for unit-linked contracts grew by € 3.1 billion to € 60.1 billion. Unit-linked insurance contracts increased by € 1.6 billion due to solid fund performance and recovering premium inflows exceeding outflows by € 0.7 billion. Unit-linked investment contracts increased by € 0.4 billion, mainly from strong sales in AZ Italy's financial advisors channel. Currency effects resulted mainly from the stronger U.S. Dollar (€ 684 million) and Asian currencies (€ 385 million).

Within our Life/Health asset base, ABS amounted to € 16.1 billion as of March 31, 2010, which is less than 5% of total Life/Health assets. Thereof, € 1.1 billion are CDOs.

1) Comprises assets of € 1.3 bn and € 1.2 bn and liabilities of € (7.2) bn and € (6.6) bn as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively.

2) Do not include affiliates of € 1.7 bn and € 1.8 bn as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

3) Including cash and cash equivalents as stated in our segment balance sheet of € 3.4 bn and € 2.5 bn and receivables from cash pooling amounting to € 2.6 bn and € 3.5 bn net of liabilities from securities lending of € (0.5) bn and € 0 bn as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

4) Financial assets for unit-linked contracts represent assets owned by, and managed on the 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.

Life/Health reserves for insurance and investment contracts increased by € 12.6 billion or 4% in the first quarter 2010. About half of the increase was driven by higher aggregate policy reserves, main contributors were our operations in Germany (€ 3.2 billion), France (€ 1.8 billion), Italy (€ 1.4 billion) and the United States (€ 0.6 billion excluding currency effects). Reserves for premium refund were up by € 2.6 billion due to recovering capital markets. Significant currency effects resulted mainly from the stronger U.S. Dollar (€ 2.4 billion) and Asian currencies (€ 0.9 billion).

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. In the first quarter 2010, our own asset base of the Asset Management segment without third-party assets increased by 3.3% to € 3.1 billion.

Asset Management liabilities

Our liabilities amounted to € 4.1 billion (down 3.0%), mainly driven by lower provisions.

Assets and liabilities of the Corporate and Other segment

Corporate and Other assets

In the first quarter 2010, our Corporate and Other asset base was down by 5.2% to € 38.3 billion. Investments in debt securities increased by € 1.1 billion due to net inflows. In contrast, loans and advances to banks and customers decreased by € 2.5 billion to € 18.2 billion. Our equity investments also declined by € 0.5 billion as net outflows were higher than positive market effects.

Corporate and Other liabilities

Our liabilities to banks and customers amounted to € 19.6 billion after € 21.2 billion at year end 2009. This development was mainly driven by a decrease in liabilities from short term deposits at our Banking entities.

The increase within the certificated liabilities from € 14.1 billion to € 14.4 billion was mainly driven by an increase of the Allianz SE issued debt outstanding4) in this investment category of € 0.2 billion.

1) Comprises assets of € 0.6 bn and € 0.5 bn and liabilities of € (0.5) bn and € (0.5) bn as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 respectively.

with the respective terms and conditions Allianz intends to timely make further relevant coupon payments by making use of certain mechanisms as provided for therein.

2) Senior bonds and commercial papers 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 two subordinated bonds issued in 2002.

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 according to the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS), Allianz Group uses operating profit and internal growth to enhance the 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 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, 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 the restructuring charges is largely at our discretion, 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 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 these are largely dependent on market cycles or issuer-specific events over which we have little or no control. These can and do vary, sometimes materially, across periods except 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. Furthermore, the timing of sales that would result in such gains or losses is largely at our discretion.

1) For further information please refer to note 3 to 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 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 as operating income 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.

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 does 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 May 11, 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 interest in the net identifiable assets or at the fair value of the interests.
  • 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 and 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 first quarter of 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 interpretations 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 with impact on the consolidated income statements

Reclassification of expenses for GEI plans

In prior years, the Allianz Group accrued the fair value of the awards relating to Group Equity Incentive ("GEI") plans as compensation expenses over the vesting period. The fair value of the recorded liability is driven by two separate effects being (1) the accrual of the plan benefits over the vesting period and (2) changes in the share price of Allianz SE. In prior years, both effects were included in administrative expenses. The second effect is hedged with derivatives with changes in the fair value of the derivatives recognized in the line item "Income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net)".

Effective June 30, 2009, the Allianz Group voluntarily changed its accounting policy with regard to the presentation of expenses relating to the second effect. The accrual of plan benefits over the vesting period continues to be shown in administrative expenses. Expenses relating to changes in the share price of the Allianz SE are now presented within the line item "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 expenses relating to the GEIs at grant date. Subsequent fluctuations in the share price are offset due to the hedging of the share price fluctuations. Therefore, the recognition of expenses relating to share price 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 table below. There is no impact on recognition, initial or subsequent measurement of GEI plans.

Reclassification of foreign currency gains and losses

In prior periods, 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 table below. 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"

In prior periods, 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 past years. With year-end 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 table below. There is no impact on recognition, initial or subsequent measurement or operating profit arising from this change in presentation.

Impact of the changes in accounting policies and changes in presentation on the Allianz Group's consolidated income statements

The following table summarizes the impacts on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended March 31, 2009, relating to the change in accounting policy for GEI plans, the reclassification of foreign currency gains and losses and the change in presentation of "net income":

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 Asset Management reportable segment, 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 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 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 the restructuring charges 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 gains/losses (net) or impairments of investments (net), as these are largely dependent on market cycles or issuer-specific events over which the Allianz Group has little or no control, and can and do vary, sometimes materially, across periods (except 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). Furthermore, the timing of sales that would result in such gains or losses is largely at the discretion of the Allianz Group.

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 as operating income 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.

Income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net)

Life/Health

Income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading for the three months ended March 31, 2010, includes in the Life/Health segment expenses of € 554 mn (2009: € 12 mn) from derivative financial instruments. This includes expenses of € 210 mn (2009: € 4 mn) of German entities from financial derivative positions to protect against equity and foreign exchange rate fluctuations as well as for duration management. Also included are expenses from U.S. entities amongst others from embedded derivatives required to be separated related to equity-indexed annuity contracts and guaranteed benefits under unit-linked contracts of € 314 mn (2009: income of € 109 mn).

Corporate and Other

Income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading for the three months ended March 31, 2010, includes in the Corporate and Other segment income of € 146 mn (2009: expenses of € 148 mn) from derivative financial instruments. This includes expenses of € 2 mn (2009: € 25 mn) from financial derivative instruments to protect investments and liabilities against foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Hedging of strategic equity investments not designated for hedge accounting induced expenses of € 9 mn (2009: € 55 mn). Financial derivatives related to investment strategies generated income of € 154 mn (2009: € 37 mn). Additionally, income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading for the three months ended March 31, 2010, includes expenses of € 15 mn (2009: income of € 59 mn) from hedges of share based compensation plans (restricted stock units).

Foreign currency gains and losses (net)

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, excluding 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 is substantially hedged against foreign currency fluctuations with freestanding derivatives resulting in an offsetting effect of € (261) mn (2009: € (53) mn) for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

This difference is due to a consolidation effect of € 33 mn (2009: € — mn) for the three months ended March 31, 2010. 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 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.

37 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, these CDOs were reclassified from financial assets held for trading to loans and advances to banks and customers in accordance with IAS 39, as the Allianz Group has the intention to hold the CDOs until maturity. 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, these 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 March 31, 2010, the carrying amount and fair value of the CDOs was € 899 mn and € 903 mn, respectively. The increase in the carrying amount and fair value for the three months ended March 31, 2010, is mainly due to foreign currency effects. For the three months ended March 31, 2010, the foreign currency effects were recognized in other comprehensive income and the net profit related to these CDOs was not significant.

The CDOs are senior tranches that were high-grade ABS at the time of origination. In January 2009, the CDOs were rated B1 (2%), Ba3 (29%), Caa2 (46%) and Caa3 (23%) by Moody's. In March 2010, the CDOs were rated Caa2 (40%) and Caa3 (60%). In the current environment of highly illiquid markets for these types of assets, valuation techniques are required to estimate fair value. As significant input parameters are non-observable, significant management judgment is required.

40 Subsequent events

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

In April 2010, the following catastrophes occurred, none of which will lead to significant net claims to the Allianz Group based on the currently available information:

  • • Eruption of the volcano Eyjafjallajoekull in Iceland and the consequential disruption to air travel.
  • • Sinking of the oil rig "Deepwater Horizon" in the Gulf of Mexico and the resulting environmental disaster.

After many years of heavy government borrowing and spending in Greece, the rising level of Greek sovereign debt has placed a huge strain on the country's economy, resulting in a dramatic widening of credit spreads there. This also affected foreign currency rates, equity markets and the prices for other sovereign debt. With more than € 50 bn of debt to refinance in 2010, Greece has fallen into a severe sovereign debt crisis, and the risk of contagion to other Eurozone countries has arisen.

On May 7, 2010, Eurozone leaders approved a € 110 bn loan package to Greece, which will be backed by the E.U. and the IMF. The package is designed to prevent Greece from defaulting on its debt.

On May 10, 2010 Eurozone leaders agreed a € 750 bn plan to support the currency and prevent the Greek debt crisis from affecting other Eurozone countries. The financial markets reacted very favorably to these measures.

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 March 31, 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 in accordance with the IFRS for interim financial reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), 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 in accordance with the IFRS for interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB, 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., and in accordance with the IFRS for interim financial reporting as issued by the IASB, 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.
