Allianz Group – preliminary figures first quarter 2007: good start to
fiscal 2007
The Allianz Group has had a good start to the 2007 fiscal year. Revenues
have been at 29.3 billion euros and have reached the previous year’s level
on a currency-adjusted basis. The operating profit has increased by over 7
percent from 2.7 billion euros to an expected 2.9 billion euros. This
includes claims arising from winter storm Kyrill amounting to 340 million
euros. Therefore, the operating profit in the property and casualty
business has fallen by 119 million euros compared to the previous year. All
the other business segments have been able to further improve their
operating profit.
Allianz has taken advantage of the very favorable development of the
capital markets in the first three months of fiscal 2007 and has harvested
gains from capital investments of around 2 billion euros. The resulting
proceeds will be used to finance the AGF transaction. Net income has
increased from 1.8 billion euros to 3.2 billion euros. Shareholders equity
has risen to 52.3 billion euros (as of 31 December 2006: 50.5 billion
euros).
Allianz will publish the full quarterly report on May 8, 2007.
These assessments are as always subject to the following cautinary
statements.
