Allianz will officially announced its 2007 results for the fiscal year 2007 on February 21, 2008.
Allianz P/C operating profit, which includes U.S.-based subsidiary Fireman’s Fund, amounted to more than €6.2 billion ($9.13 billion) in 2007. During the same period, the life and health business achieved an operating profit of almost €3 billion ($4.42 billion).
In Allianz’ banking segment – primarily its Dresdner Bank subsidiary – the operating results for the fourth quarter produced a negative figure of around €450 million ($663 million). “Largely due,” Allianz said, “to valuation adjustments on structured products [i.e. subprime loan securitizations] in the trading book of around €900 million [$1.326 billion].” However the sector is still expected to have an operating profit for the year of around €750 million ($1.105 billion).
