Allianz Global Assistance Releases 2012 Financial Results
U.S. Business Unit Reports Revenue of 330 million euros, up 11% from 2011
RICHMOND, Va., May 6, 2013 – Allianz Global Assistance Group, the parent company of Henrico-based Allianz Global Assistance USA, announced its 2012 financial results and confirmed its ambitions for 2015 at a recent press conference in Paris. The Group reported that growth in global revenue was up 9% over 2011, leading to 2012 revenue of 2.238 billion euros and exceeding expectations for the year. Net profit was 65 million euros. All of the company’s geographic regions and its three lines of business – Automotive, Travel and Health/Home/Lifecare – made well-balanced contributions to growth in 2012.
The Group also reported an improved combined ratio – 96% - and an operating profit that was 113 million euros, up 20% in an economy marked by relentless difficulties in Europe and a lukewarm recovery in the U.S. Despite challenges in the global economy, the Group reaffirmed its ambition to reach 3 billion euros in revenue by 2015, with 50% of revenue coming from Europe, 30% from the Americas and 20% from Asia/Pacific.
In the U.S., the company covered 13 million customers with its travel insurance and event ticket protector products. The American business unit ranks second in revenue in the Group (behind France) at 330 million euros, which is up 11.3% from 2011.
In 2012, Allianz Global Assistance USA successfully launched its Registration Protector product, which provides coverage for registration fees paid by participants when they register for an endurance event. In 2013, the company plans to roll out a new product which reimburses customers for inconveniences they experience due to excessive rain at their travel destination.
“In the U.S., we continue to develop innovative products and services in new and existing distribution channels that will lead to increased revenue and profit for the company,” said Mike Nelson, CEO of Allianz Global Assistance USA and Director of the Group’s America’s Zone. “Working closely with our colleagues across the Group, we are growing the business by focusing on the solutions that our clients in the U.S. and around the world value in order to increase both their revenue and their customer satisfaction.”
