Ageas half-year 2026 results

Excellent insurance results in Life and resilient Non-Life results despite adverse weather impact

A complete overview of the figures and comparison with previous year can be found on page 6 of this press release and on the Ageas website.

Hans De Cuyper, CEO Ageas, comments :

“Ageas delivered a strong commercial performance in the first half of 2026, with growth in inflows supported by excellent Life sales across all regions and solid growth in Non-Life. This topline momentum translated into higher profitability with a 6% Net Operating Result increase, driven by excellent Life results and resilient Non-Life operations despite significant adverse weather in Belgium and Portugal. This performance reinforces our confidence that the full-year Net Operating Result will exceed EUR 1.95 billion.”

“Our strong operational delivery is also generating substantial cash. We now expect more than EUR 1.4 billion of cash upstream from our insurance entities in 2026, 49% above last year and ahead of our previous guidance, supporting the payment of a EUR 1.50 gross interim dividend per share in December.”

“At the same time, we continued to actively shape our portfolio. We completed the step-up to full ownership of AG Insurance, agreed the sale of our Malaysian stake to Maybank for EUR 1.1 billion, and expanded our presence in the Chinese pension market through our investment in Taiping Pension. These developments result in a successful transformation of our Group profile as part of Elevate27 and position us well to capture future opportunities and create sustainable value for all our stakeholders.”
