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.”

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....
