Impact24 -- Non-financial and Sustainability Achievements
 
  • AG in Belgium has maintained its ‘Towards Sustainability Label’, making AG the biggest provider of Sustainable Financial Insurances in Belgium. Also at AG, all Life insurance products now meet the requirements of Article 8 of the SFDR Regulation.
  • In the UK, Ageas was recognised as Personal Lines Insurer of the Year for the second consecutive year at the independently judged British Insurance Awards.

Hans De Cuyper, CEO Ageas:

“ I am very pleased that we are building further on the positive start we made at the beginning of this year with an exceptionally strong second quarter. Both operationally and commercially, we performed very well across regions and product lines. Also notable is the post-covid sales momentum in most Asian countries.

Thanks to the solid underlying performance in both Europe and the non-controlled partnerships in Asia, reflected in improving Life margins and a strong combined ratio, we feel confident in confirming the outlook of EUR 1 billion net profit for 2022.

Our strong capital position and free capital generation allows us to strengthen the growth commitment we made for our dividend under Impact 24, and consequently we are happy to announce today an interim dividend of EUR 1.5 per share for our shareholders.

Ageas continues to perform well in terms of its core business, and at the same time it is taking important steps in living up to its non-financial commitments under Impact24 in the field of sustainability, climate and health and wellbeing. “

Ageas/Shaking shackles, coming together/BUY

Moving away from dependence on Asian earnings (now c.30%), while carefully managing its M&A path, we believe AGEAS is well positioned to see an earnings acceleration in the coming years. China upstreams are coming through, while the share price of its Chinese partner CTIH has doubled in 12 months. BNP PARIBAS has increased its stake in the Group (from c.15% to c.23%) at the same time moving out of the Belgian entity AG, and the Belgian government is looking at options to increase its 6.3% stake....
