Reporting positive results for the first half of 2025, Corporate & Specialty insurer HDI Global SE has increased both revenue and net income. The main driver behind these strong results, to which all lines contributed, was growth in new business. HDI Global made a significant contribution to the half-year results of the Talanx Group.
Dr. Edgar Puls - CEO HDI Global SE: “Based on our profitability, we will continue to act as a reliable Partner in Transformation for our clients and brokers for decades to come. I am particularly pleased that our positive half-year results have been driven primarily by the growth of new business. This demonstrates that our focus on delivering genuine, sustainable value to clients and brokers is being well received in the market. Our partners place their trust in our extensive expertise in modern risk service solutions. The fact that all lines of business contributed to these results underlines the breadth and resilience of our portfolio.”
HDI Global generated clear growth in revenue and net income in the first half of 2025. Adjusted for currency effects, insurance revenue rose 8 percent to EUR 5.1 (6m 2024: 4.8) billion (7 percent in nominal terms). The insurance service result remained stable at EUR 430 (429) million. Large loss payments came in at EUR 142 (128) and were well below the pro rata budget of EUR 253 million. The combined ratio at 91.6 (91.1) percent remained within expectation of less than 92 percent for the full year. The net insurance financial and investment result before currency effects rose to EUR 99 (68) million due to higher investment volumes and an increase in current interest income. EBIT was clearly lifted by 24 percent to EUR 377 (305) million. RoE rose to 17.4 (15.7) percent, while HDI Global’s contribution to Talanx Group net income rose 23 percent to EUR 274 (223) million.
Puls elaborates: “These positive results are a testament to our long-term strength and our role as a reliable partner across all sectors. Whether in Risk Management, Prevention, International Programmes, Captive Services, or Claims Services, we work closely alongside our partners. This support empowers them to make sustainable decisions and enhance their technical resilience in times of transformation. I would like to thank our broker partners and clients for their ongoing trust. I also extend my thanks to our more than 5,000 employees worldwide, whose commitment and dedication have been instrumental in achieving this strong outcome and in bringing our performance-driven culture to life every day.”
