Allianz operating figures were largely in line with those posted in 2010, showing only slight declines in profits, and an actual increase in P/C gross premiums written. However, the group was substantially impacted by the ongoing financial crisis, particularly in the banking sector.
Allianz report said: “The escalating sovereign debt crisis and related deterioration in equity markets had a profound effect on our non-operating result, which declined by €1.139 billion [$1.56 billion] to a loss of €1.262 billion [$1.729 billion].
“The most pronounced effects are reflected in our non-operating investment result, which decreased by €1.253 billion [$1.7166 billion]. This decrease is mainly due to losses from investments in financial sector assets, predominantly held in the Corporate and Other segment. Realized gains and losses (net) decreased from €382 million to €314 million, mainly due to €106 million lower realizations from debt securities.
“Realized gains and losses (net) from equities of €246 million were slightly higher than in the previous year. These included gains of €167 million (Q3 2010: €113 million) from the sale of shares in the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC) and a revaluation gain of €99 million from EUROPENSIONES S.A., our joint venture with Banco Popular in Spain.”
Allianz also indicated that its operations had been impacted by the natural catastrophes, which have occurred in 2011. Concerning the specific situation in Greece, Allianz said: “Greek sovereign bonds were impaired and consequently written down to the current market value in accordance with IFRS impairment rules for available-for-sale debt securities, reflecting 39 percent of nominal value.”
