- ERGO, the primary insurance segment, continues to be a reliable earnings contributor, with a net result of almost EUR500 million in the first half of the year.
- The investment return was strong at 3.8%, benefiting from favorable capital market conditions and a reinvestment yield close to 4.5%.
- The Life and Health Reinsurance segment experienced a EUR100 million negative experience charge due to an accumulation of large individual losses, which was attributed to random volatility.

- There was a 1.2% margin decrease in the P&C Reinsurance segment due to price declines, although this was from a high level.
