Shareholders' core net income advanced 17.3 percent to 3.0 (2.5) billion euros. This growth was driven by a higher operating profit and an improved non-operating result. Adjusted for the 0.3 billion euros disposal gain on the UniCredit Joint Venture, shareholders' core net income increased 7.1 percent. Allianz's 6M 2025 results were excellent, delivering a record operating profit underpinned by double-digit internal growth.

Adjusted for a one-off tax provision related to the forthcoming sale of our stake in our Indian Joint Ventures in 1Q and the disposal gain on the UniCredit Joint Venture in 2Q, shareholders' core net income was up by 6.2 percent. Core earnings per share (EPS) 6 amounted to 13.99 (12.57) euros, an increase of 11.3 percent. Adjusted for the above-mentioned one-off tax provision and disposal gain, core earnings per share rose 7.9 percent.

Adjusted for the effects of the one-off tax provision and disposal gain, the annualized core return on equity (RoE) was 17.9 percent. This performance was achieved while we maintained a strong capitalization with a Solvency II ratio of 209 percent (1Q 2025: 208 percent), supported by excellent capital generation.
