Allianz’s 12M 2025 results were excellent. Allianz sustained its momentum across all three segments and achieved a record operating profit.

 

Our total business volume expanded to 186.9 billion euros (12M 2024: 179.8 billion euros). Internal growth, which excludes the effects of foreign-currency translation as well as acquisitions and divestments, was strong at 8.1percent, supported by growth across all segments.

 

Operating profit reached a record level of 17.4 (16.0) billion euros, an increase of 8.4 percent. The Property-Casualty business was the main growth driver and all business segments exceeded their full-year outlook midpoints.

 

Shareholders’ core net income rose by 10.9 percent to 11.1 (10.0) billion euros. Adjusted for a one-off tax provision related to the sale of our stake in our Indian Joint Ventures in 1Q 2025 and the divestment gain on the UniCredit Joint Venture in 2Q 2025, shareholders’ core net income was up by 9.3 percent.

 

Core earnings per share (EPS)5 amounted to 28.61 (25.42) euros, an increase of 12.5 percent. Adjusted for the above-mentioned one-off tax provision and divestment gain, core earnings per share rose 10.8 percent.

 

Allianz has delivered an excellent core return on equity (RoE)5 of 18.1 percent in 12M 2025 (12M 2024: 16.9 percent). Adjusted for the effects of the one-off tax provision and divestment gain, the core return on equity was 17.8 percent.

 

This performance was achieved while Allianz further strengthened its capitalization. The Solvency II ratio was 218 percent, an increase of 10 percentage points compared to full-year 2024 (209 percent) and 3Q 2025 (209 percent). This development was supported by excellent operating capital generation of 25 percentage points after tax/before dividend.

 

In 4Q 2025, Allianz delivered a strong performance, characterized by good growth across our three segments and excellent profitability.

 

Our total business volume amounted to 45.7 billion euros (4Q 2024: 45.9 billion euros). Internal growth was good at 6.5 percent and all segments contributed.

 

Operating profit rose 3.0 percent to 4.3 (4.2) billion euros, reaching 27 percent of our full-year outlook midpoint. The increase was mainly driven by excellent operating profit growth in our Property-Casualty business.

 

Shareholders’ core net income advanced 12.2 percent to 2.7 (2.4) billion euros. A higher operating profit and an improved non-operating result contributed.

 

Outlook

 

In 2026, Allianz targets an operating profit of 17.4 billion euros, plus or minus 1 billion euros.

 

Other

 

The Board of Management proposes a dividend per share of 17.10 euros (2024: 15.40 euros) for 2025, an increase of 11.0 percent from 2024.

 

On February 25, 2026, Allianz has announced a new share buy-back program of up to 2.5 billion euros.

The cost-income ratio (CIR) improved to a very good level of 60.7 percent (61.1 percent), ahead of our full-year ambition of around 61 percent. This development reflects strong underlying revenue momentum and management actions.

Excellent net inflows of 139 billion euros and positive market effects of 94 billion euros were partly offset by negative foreign currency translation effects of 170 billion euros.

Building on the partnership which began in 2018, STB and Ant International will:

 

  • Amplify Singapore’s destination appeal amongst key markets through joint marketing initiatives leveraging Alipay+’s ecosystem, including a campaign with Chinese actor Dylan Wang for the Chinese New Year period;

 

  • Advance Singapore’s position in digital tourism by enabling seamless and secure mobile discovery and payments, ensuring visitors enjoy a frictionless experience; and
  • Strengthen the competitiveness of Singapore’s travel ecosystem by leveraging Ant International’s data and technology capabilities to deepen actionable insights sharing on travellers’ behaviours.

The partnership aims to unlock new growth opportunities for local businesses, in line with STB’s Tourism 2040 roadmap, focusing on cultivating future demand, enhancing Singapore’s appeal as a destination, and developing a future-ready tourism sector.

 

Ms Melissa Ow, Chief Executive of Singapore Tourism Board said: “We are pleased to renew our strategic partnership with Ant International and look forward to unlocking new opportunities across key markets through Alipay+’s extensive digital wallet network. By combining our destination expertise with their payment technology and data capabilities, we can respond to the evolving traveller demand more nimbly and create a more seamless experiences for visitors whilst driving meaningful growth in tourism spending.”

 

 

Digital connectivity drives tourism success in 2025

 

 

Building on a successful year for Singapore tourism, the partnership between STB and Alipay+ in 2025 drove record spending via Alipay+ across Singapore’s tourism sector, from major attractions, to services and neighbourhood hawker stalls. According to data from Alipay+, Singapore is amongst the top 5 popular global travel destinations, with transactions increasing 36 percent year-on-year. In line with travellers’ demand for local experiences, spending via SGQR almost tripled from the year before, bringing tangible economic impact to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

Asian travellers continue to be key drivers of Singapore’s tourism industry. According to Alipay+ data, Mainland China, Malaysia, Hong Kong SAR, the Philippines, and South Korea are the top 5 inbound markets. Transactions by Chinese travellers – Singapore’s largest pool of visitors – increased 26 percent year-on-year in 2025, alongside significant growth from new markets like Kazakhstan and Italy.

 

 

While retail remains the most popular activity, travellers are spending more on food and beverage, accommodation, and day-to-day services like transportation, as Singapore caters to a more diverse range of visitors.

 

 

“Destinations are dynamic digital ecosystems that connect culture and commerce across borders, driving economic impact and inclusion,” said Peng Yang, CEO of Ant International. “The Singapore Tourism Board has set the benchmark for how innovation, trust and public-private collaboration can power a world-class tourism economy. Together, we will support Singapore’s ambition to inspire not just as a place to visit, but one that shapes the future of travel and its shared value to communities.”

 

 

Shaping tourism’s next chapter with AI

 

 

The partnership also aims to further enhance Singapore’s global leadership in travel innovation. Both parties will leverage Ant International’s data capabilities to forecast trends, building a future-ready tourism sector while enhancing the experience for visitors.

 

 

Additionally, Alipay+ has driven a series of innovations for mobile-savvy travellers, including:

 

 

  • Alipay+ Voyager: An in-app AI travel agent launched in six of Asia’s largest superapps, that can offer personalised recommendations, deals, essential services like transportation, translation and more, for travellers visiting Singapore;
  • In-app rewards: Spotlighting Singapore attractions and offering exclusive vouchers directly within leading e-wallets; merchants can leverage Alipay+’s AI-powered marketing services for deeper, more relevant engagements;
  • Mobile engagement: Collaborating with Fairprice Group to launch the first-of-its-kind Cheers mini-programme directly within Alipay for Chinese travellers

 

 

Enhancing Singapore’s global appeal

 

In 2025, STB and Alipay+ rolled out high-profile marketing campaigns with global celebrities Dylan Wang and Stefanie Sun, to promote Singapore to regional travellers. These campaigns amplified top attractions and digital connectivity in Singapore across multiple channels, including Alipay+’s partner e-wallets to reach travellers directly within the apps they use most, translating inspiration into visits and spending.

 

 

The first campaign to roll out for 2026 features Dylan Wang showcasing shopping, attractions and local food spots, ahead of the Chinese New Year, a peak travel season for Asian travellers.
