Allianz SE: Allianz key figures for the first quarter of 2012

Allianz SE / Key word(s): Quarter Results

09.05.2012 / 08:39

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Based on preliminary figures, Allianz Group achieved total revenues of over
30 billion euros in the first quarter of 2012, compared to 29.9 billion
euros in the first quarter of the previous year.

Operating profit exceeded 2.3 billion euros, approximately 40 percent above
last year's level of 1.7 billion euros. Net income in the first quarter of
2012 topped 1.4 billion euros, up nearly 60 percent from 915 million euros
over the same period in 2011, which was burdened especially by high claims
from natural catastrophes.

Allianz maintains a strong capital position: it increased both
shareholders'
equity and its conglomerate solvency ratio from year-end levels.

Michael Diekmann, CEO of Allianz SE: 'As planned, all three business
segments contributed to the good start into 2012, and we are on track to
achieve our target for 2012.'

As announced, Allianz will publish full details for the first quarter on
May
15, 2012.
