Body Text
Hannover Re’s latest Annual General Meeting (AGM) has approved a proposal from the Executive and Supervisory Boards to pay a dividend of €12.50 per share, reflecting the reinsurer’s updated dividend policy for the 2025 financial year. The payout represents a 39% increase on the previous year, bringing the total distribution to shareholders to approximately €1.5 billion. All proposed resolutions were reportedly approved at the AGM, at which Chief Executive Officer Clemens Jungsthöfel highlighted that, despite a challenging market environment in 2025, the firm was able to generate profitable growth while significantly boosting its resilience. Hannover Re, one of Europe’s big four reinsurers, delivered a 13.4% rise in net income to €2.6 billion for the 2025 financial year, as reinsurance revenue increased by 1.5% year-on-year to €26.8 billion, supported by strong performance in both the property and casualty and life and health reinsurance segments. Gross revenue growth would have been stronger still at 4.7% at constant exchange rates, while the net reinsurance service result rose by a significant 15.8% to €3.5 billion in 2025. Jungsthöfel described the record year as a substantial foundation for further sustained success, adding that the company now has the strongest balance sheet in its 60-year history.
