a.s.r. presents strong results over the first half of 2026
Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO, Ingrid de Swart: ‘It is with pride that I present a.s.r.'s strong results. Our focus on sustainable value creation and financial discipline proved successful in the first half of this year. We report a record level of organic capital creation (OCC) and operating result, driven by all business segments.
- Operating result increased by 9.8% to € 901 million (HY 2025: € 821 million).
- Operating return on equity increased to 15.4% (HY 2025: 14.2%), comfortably above the target of >12%.
- The Solvency II ratio as at 30 June 2026 increased to 222% (31 December 2025: 218%). This increase reflects a 13%-points contribution from organic capital creation, a minus 8%-points impact from capital distribution (interim dividend and share buyback), and a minus 1%-points impact from market and operational movements and the deployment of capital.
- Organic capital creation increased by 7.3% to € 773 million (HY 2025: € 721 million).
- Interim dividend increased by 9.4% to € 1.39 per share (HY 2025: € 1.27 per share), in line with the dividend policy and equal to 40% of the absolute dividend amount paid for 2025.
- The € 175 million share buyback programme was successfully completed in the first half of 2026.
These results were achieved thanks to the dedication of our colleagues and the trust placed in us by our customers and intermediaries. I am very grateful for that.’
