Hans De Cuyper, CEO Ageas: “I am very pleased to announce an excellent performance in 2024. We grew inflows considerably, increased the profitability of our business and secured a Net Operating Result of 1.24 billion euro at the upper half of our guidance, while maintaining a strong cash and solvency position. This strong performance enables us to announce a total gross cash dividend of 3.50 euro for 2024, consistent with our Impact24 commitment. I am also proud that we successfully completed our Impact24 strategic cycle, achieving sustainable growth, strengthening profitability, and diversifying cash flows, while meeting all financial targets and most non-financial ones. While we have made significant progress in various aspects of our business, I am especially pleased that our ESG efforts have been recognised by rating agencies, which has led to the inclusion of the Ageas share in the BEL®ESG index. Barring unforeseen circumstances, we anticipate a cash upstream from the business between 850 to 900 million euro in 2025, giving us a good starting position to meet our Elevate27 dividend commitment.”
