Talanx Group, the parent company of Hannover Re, has reported a record net income of €2.48 billion for the 2025 financial year, representing a 25% increase year on year, according to preliminary consolidated unaudited figures.
The group attributed the strong result to solid operating performance across the business and a favourable claims experience in the second half of the year. Talanx said that both Primary Insurance and Reinsurance contributed equally to net income growth.
Insurance revenue, adjusted for currency effects, increased 5% to €49 billion in 2025. Return on equity is expected to reach 19.7%, up from 17.9% in the prior year, reflecting improved profitability across the group.
Talanx noted that the dividend proposal for the 2025 financial year will be announced alongside the publication of its audited annual financial statements on March 18, 2026. In line with its long-term dividend policy, the Board of Management is aiming for a payout that exceeds the prior-year dividend and reflects the group’s strong performance.
Looking ahead, Talanx reaffirmed its 2026 net income target of approximately €2.7 billion, which was raised in November 2025. The group also said it is confident of reaching and exceeding its 2027 earnings target of more than €2.5 billion a year earlier than planned, underscoring confidence in its earnings trajectory and operating momentum.
