Uniqa Insurance Group AG (VIE:UNIQ) has issued a positive update, raising its full-year earnings before tax forecast to a range of €490 million to €510 million. This revision is supported by a strong first-half 2025 performance, where pre-tax earnings grew 6.5% year-over-year to €295.5 million. The growth was driven by robust core insurance operations, with total written premiums climbing 9.7% to €4.4 billion, fueled by an 11.8% expansion in the property and casualty segment and a 10.8% increase in international business. A key indicator of underwriting profitability, the net combined ratio, improved to 90.5% from 91.7%, signaling enhanced operational efficiency. This strong operational performance, however, was partially offset by headwinds from financial markets, as net investment income fell to €400 million from €437.7 million. Despite the market turbulence, the company maintains a strong capital position, evidenced by a solvency capital requirement ratio of 284% and an increased contractual service margin of €5.9 billion.
