Ad hoc announcement transmitted by DGAP – a company of EquityStory AG. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. —————————————————————————— Allianz Group: Preliminary figures for the third quarter 2006 – Net income for the quarter doubled Allianz Group continued to chart a successful course in the third quarter of 2006. Based on preliminary figures, total revenues at 22.6 billion euros were slightly down compared to the equivalent previous year’s quarter (third quarter 2005: 23.8 billion euros), but the operating profit increased by 42.7 percent to 2.7 billion euros. Net income for the quarter rose by 100.4 percent to 1.6 billion euros. • In the Property and Casualty business, the combined ratio improved to 90.2 percent. The operating profit grew correspondingly by 74.1 percent to 1.7 billion euros. • The operating profit for Life and Health business posted an increase of 11.0 percent to 617 million euros. • Dresdner Bank continued its successful performance of sustained improvement in earnings: the operating profit went up by 38.2 percent to 311 million euros. • Net cash inflows in Asset Management amounted to 9.7 billion euros. The operating profit of 294 million euros remained at the high level of the equivalent previous year’s quarter. Shareholders’ equity of Allianz Group continued to increase by 13.8 percent from 39.5 billion euros as at December 31, 2005 to 44.9 billion euros. The increase in net income for the quarter was mostly a result of the improved operating profit. The quarterly net income also contains a profit of approximately 300 million euros from the sale of Four Seasons Healthcare. ‘The very successful business performance again leads us to anticipate slight improvements on the forecast made at the half-year stage for the fiscal year 2006: We are now assuming an operating profit in excess of 9.5 billion euros. Although restructuring expenses for Dresdner Bank are still outstanding in the fourth quarter and realization of further capital gains is not planned, we are anticipating net income for the year above 6 billion euros,” according to Helmut Perlet. These statements are subject to the reservation that no natural catastrophes or adverse developments in the capital markets compromise profitability. The full interim report for the third quarter of 2006 will be published on November 10, 2006 and be available on www.allianz.com.
