Statement of David Knibbe, CEO
'Today, we are presenting a very strong set of results for 2025, reflecting continued positive business performance and strategy execution despite ongoing geopolitical volatility. We exceeded our targets for 2025 and are well on track to achieve the 2028 goals outlined at our Capital Markets Day in May 2025.
In Europe, we reported continued growth across the region, most notably in Poland, Greece, Romania and Slovakia. Netherlands Non-life increased gross written premiums by 6%, reaching the EUR 4 billion mark for the first time. Our business in Japan also showed a strong commercial performance, driven by the successful launch of a long-term savings product for business owners. Our Netherlands Life business benefitted from strong net inflows of EUR 2.6 billion and favourable market movements in defined contribution pension products, and continued to capture opportunities arising from the changing Dutch pension market.
Our Future Ready programme, which is focused on further improving the customer experience, and driving operational efficiencies and profitable growth, is well on track towards our goal of generating EUR 200 million annual benefits as of 2027. At the end of 2025, we had 236 AI use cases in production, including a system that enables us to approve and pay out various car insurance claims within minutes.
Operating capital generation (OCG), our key performance indicator, increased 9% to EUR 2.1 billion. Combined with positive market developments, this contributed to a further strengthening of our capital position, with a Solvency II ratio of 220%. The
{1}------------------------------------------------

strong business performance, cash, and capital levels enable us to step up our annual share buyback programme to EUR 350 million, and propose a 13% higher full-year dividend compared to 2024.
We continued to deliver on our strategic objectives focused on our customers, people, and our contribution to society. Customer satisfaction scores further improved, with eight of our nine international markets scoring above the market average. In the Netherlands, we maintained our number one position in broker satisfaction, reflecting our proven strategy to work closely with this key partner group. We also saw a further improvement in employee satisfaction. In support of a sustainable economy, we increased investments in climate solutions, reaching a total of EUR 14 billion by the end of 2025. Since 2022, our community investment programme has supported more than one million people.
Looking ahead, these results provide us with a strong foundation for future growth, which enables us to continue to create sustainable long-term value for our stakeholders. We would like to thank our customers and shareholders for their trust, and our colleagues for their ongoing commitment.'

Consolidated business results
- Operating capital generation increased 9% to EUR 2,089 million, driven by Netherlands Life, Insurance Europe, Netherlands Non-life and Japan Life, more than offsetting lower contributions from Other and Banking
- Higher sales and a favourable product mix increased value of new business by 16% in Insurance Europe. VNB in Japan rose 25% after launching a new long-term savings product in March
- Netherlands Non-life gross written premiums grew 6% driven by both premium increases and volume growth in Property & Casualty and Group Income
- Operating result increased to EUR 3,002 million from EUR 2,574 million in 2024, mainly driven by a higher investment result, as well as growth in Insurance Europe and Netherlands Non-life, partly offset by a lower contribution from Banking and Japan Life
- Result before tax decreased to EUR 1,509 million from EUR 1,936 million in 2024. The higher operating result was more than offset by below the line items, primarily due to revaluations on derivatives. Net result decreased to EUR 1,188 million, compared to EUR 1,583 million in 2024
The pension reform in the Netherlands creates new business opportunities for NN Life and Pensions. We saw increased inflows to our defined contribution (DC) products, particularly in the attractive immediate annuity segment where we recorded EUR 0.8 billion of gross inflows. Assets under management for the DC pension business in the Netherlands increased 9% to EUR 42.6 billion, driven by net inflows and strong market performance. Our pension administrator AZL successfully transferred three large pension funds to the new pension system in 2025.
Netherlands Non-life continues its growth trajectory. GWP grew 6% and surpassed the EUR 4 billion mark for the first time, driven by growth in P&C and Group Income.
Insurance Europe continues to grow, supported by its strong market positions and multichannel distribution network. Most notably, growth was visible in Poland, Greece, Romania and Slovakia. The pension businesses benefited from favourable markets, translating into performance fees.
Japan Life recorded significant sales growth due to the launch of a long-term savings product in March, which resulted in 25% VNB growth.
In 2025, house prices continued to rise and housing transactions recovered and NN Bank increased its mortgage portfolio by EUR 1 billion.
Driven by the increased contributions from Insurance Europe and Netherlands Non-life and Banking, free cash flow has further diversified. It grew 7%, slightly ahead of the 2025 target of EUR 1.6 billion.

{3}------------------------------------------------


NN Group's operating capital generation increased to EUR 2,089 million compared to EUR 1,922 million in 2024 and exceeded the 2025 target.
Netherlands Life saw OCG grow 13% to EUR 1,185 million, reflecting more favourable experience variances and a higher investment return.
Netherlands Non-life continues to demonstrate strong performance with OCG increasing 9% to EUR 442 million. The results were supported by an ongoing favourable claims environment in P&C, including benign weather. 2025 also benefitted from lower capital consumption following reinsurance renewals.
OCG of Insurance Europe grew 13% to EUR 520 million, reflecting new business growth and favourable market conditions for the pension businesses.
Japan Life shows encouraging signs of sales recovery. OCG increased 8% to EUR 116 million, supported by a reinsurance transaction and lower claims, partially offset by a higher new business strain.
Banking recorded an OCG of EUR 91 million versus EUR 119 million in 2024, mainly due to lower interest results partially offset by net positive non-recurring items.
OCG of the segment Other was EUR -265 million, down from EUR -221 million in 2024, mainly attributable to increased debt costs and a lower cash return at the Holding.

Operating result
NN Group's operating result increased to EUR 3,002 million from EUR 2,574 million in 2024.
The operating result of Netherlands Life increased 31% to EUR 1,787 million, mainly driven by a higher investment result as well as a higher profit margin and technical result.
Netherlands Non-life's operating result rose 8% to EUR 393 million. The combined ratio was 92.9%, within the 91-93% guidance range, and slightly improved from last year's 93.1%. The Property & Casualty portfolio saw positive claims developments, partly due to benign weather, leading to a combined ratio of 90.3% in 2025 compared with 91.9% in 2024. The Group Income segment of the Disability portfolio experienced increased inflows, mainly due to societal factors such as long COVID and an increase in mental health concerns. Consequently, the combined ratio for 2025 was elevated at 99.3%, compared to 96.0% in 2024.
The operating result of Insurance Europe increased 14% to EUR 639 million, reflecting continued organic business growth, increased technical result, investment result and favourable market conditions for the pension businesses.
Japan Life's operating result decreased 16% to EUR 170 million, mainly because of lower results on expenses and investments due to the decrease of the in-force portfolio that in 2025 still outweighed the growth from the improved new sales.
The operating result for Banking decreased to EUR 117 million from EUR 189 million in 2024, mainly due to a lower interest result.
The operating result of the segment Other slightly improved to EUR -105 million from EUR -108 million, mainly due to an improved operating result at the reinsurance business partly offset by a lower return on cash at the Holding.
Result before tax
Result before tax decreased to EUR 1,509 million from EUR 1,936 million in 2024. The higher operating result was more than offset by negative revaluations on derivatives, higher special items and a negative result on divestments.
Gains/losses and impairments amounted to EUR -351 million compared with EUR -1,036 million in 2024, primarily reflecting losses on government bond sales at Netherlands Life in the first half of 2025. These losses were already accumulated in Shareholders' equity via Other comprehensive income.
{4}------------------------------------------------


Revaluations had a negative impact of EUR -757 million compared with EUR 535 million in 2024, mainly due to revaluations on derivatives used for hedging purposes following the increase of long-term interest rates.
Special items amounted to EUR -195 million compared with EUR -89 million in 2024, mainly reflecting costs related to the Future Ready strategic programme.
The result on divestments amounted to EUR -131 million, mainly due to an adverse currency conversion result from the closing of the sale of the Turkish operations. The Turkish
operations had a limited contribution to NN Group's operating result and the sale had a negligible impact on NN Group's Solvency II ratio.
Net result
The net result decreased to EUR 1,188 million compared to EUR 1,583 million in 2024.
The effective tax rate (ETR) was 20.6%, reflecting regular tax exempted income on investments, the tax impact on the sale of the Turkish operations and prior years adjustments.

Total assets of NN Group decreased by EUR 5.5 billion in 2025 to EUR 204.9 billion, driven by market value changes on investments at fair value through other comprehensive income. Shareholders' equity decreased 4% to EUR 19.1 billion.
The contractual service margin (net of reinsurance) increased to EUR 7.9 billion. Organic growth was 2%, reflecting business growth in Insurance Europe, Netherlands Non-life and Japan Life, offsetting the net release of the contractual service margin of Netherlands Life.

In 2024, Netherlands Life benefited from pension buyouts and high defined benefit (DB) pension sales, positively impacting Gross written premiums (GWP), New sales life insurance (APE) and VNB. The segment recorded high new inflows in DC pensions in 2025.
Total GWP decreased 5%, whereas GWP in the Netherlands Non-life segment grew by 6% and surpassed EUR 4 billion for the first time, driven by both premium increases and volume growth.
APE decreased 2% to EUR 1,318 million. Insurance Europe saw robust new sales across the region, achieving 10% APE growth. Japan Life experienced a 9% APE growth after a new long-term savings product was launched in March 2025.
VNB increased 12% to EUR 442 million. Insurance Europe's VNB grew 16% to EUR 295 million as a result of continued high sales and a favourable product mix. Japan Life's VNB increased 25% to EUR 66 million, mainly driven by the introduction of a new long-term savings product, supporting future growth. Netherlands Life reported lower VNB as higher annuity and pension rider sales in 2025 were offset by the absence of buyouts and lower traditional DB sales.
Assets under management for the DC pension business in the Netherlands reached EUR 42.6 billion, a 9% gain, fuelled by net inflows of EUR 2.6 billion and a positive market performance.

- Cash capital position increased to EUR 1.8 billion, mainly reflecting remittances from subsidiaries, capital flows to shareholders as well as holding company expenses and interest on loans and debt.

The programme will be executed within ten months and is anticipated to commence on 2 March 2026. The share buyback will be deducted in full from Solvency II Own Funds in the first half of 2026 and is estimated to reduce NN Group's Solvency II ratio by approximately 4%-points. NN Group intends to cancel any repurchased NN Group shares under the programme unless used to cover obligations under share based remuneration arrangements.
The share buyback programme will be executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the General Meeting on 15 May 2025 and such authority to be granted by the General Meeting on 21 May 2026. The shares will be repurchased at a price that does not exceed the last independent trade or the highest current independent bid on the relevant trading platform. The programme will be executed by financial intermediaries and will be performed in compliance with the safe harbour provisions for share buybacks.
On 20 February 2025, NN Group announced that it will execute an open market share buyback programme for an amount of EUR 300 million within ten months, commencing on 3 March 2025. This share buyback programme was completed on 31 December 2025.

- Operating capital generation is an Alternative Performance Measure, which is not derived from IFRS-EU. NN Group analyses the change in the excess of Solvency II Own Funds over the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) in the following components: Operating Capital Generation, Market variance, Capital flows and Other. Operating capital generation is the movement in the solvency surplus (Own Funds before eligibility constraints over SCR at 100%) in the period due to operating items, including the impact of new business, expected investment returns in excess of the unwind of liabilities, release of the risk margin, operating variances, non-life underwriting result, contribution of non-Solvency II entities and holding expenses and debt costs and the change in the SCR. It excludes economic variances, economic assumption changes and non-operating expenses
