The Vienna Insurance Group is the new umbrella brand of Wiener
Städtische. In addition to their decentralized independent market
presence, the individual insurance companies in Central and Eastern
Europe will present themselves under the common umbrella. With the
umbrella brand, Wiener Städtische wants to underline its financial
strength as a large Central European insurance company headquartered
in Vienna.
OVERVIEW OF KEY DATA FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR 2005
In the financial year 2005, the Vienna Insurance Group (including
other insurance participations) according to preliminary data was
able to increase its unconsolidated premiums written by 20.7 percent
to a total of EUR 5.34 billion as compared to the previous year.
In view of the excellent development in the financial year 2005 group
profit (before taxes) is expected to increase from about EUR 156
million in 2004  to about EUR 230 million in 2005. Thus the previous
EUR 220 million profit (before taxes) target will be exceeded.
The Group's combined ratio after reinsurance (not including
investment income) is expected to be well below the 100 percent mark
for the year 2005.
From today's point of view, it will be suggested to the
decision-making bodies to increase the dividend by about 30 percent
to about 60 cent per share.
After an excellent financial year 2005 with a successful capital
increase, the upward trend continues. The new targets that have been
set after this capital increase are achieving group profit (before
taxes) of about EUR 270 to 290 million for the year 2006 and of about
EUR 320 to 350 million for the year 2007.
* The data for Wiener Städtische Group include the group companies
and other insurance participations. The figures for 2005 are based on
preliminary data.
