2014, solid financial performance and business transformation
In an environment shaped by historically low interest rates, our good performances confirm that we were right to rebalance our multi-partner model by increasing our focus on personal risk/protection insurance and long-term unit-linked savings.
Total Revenue (Net insurance revenue + Revenue from own-funds portfolios)
€3,337m, up 3.2%
In France, the 1.1% growth in net insurance revenue was the net result of contrasting trends, with a 2.2% fall in the savings and pensions segment, due in particular to the fall in interest rates, and an 8.8% rise in the personal risk/protection segment.
In the “Europe excluding France” region, net insurance revenue rose by 11.5%, helped by our swift response to the low interest rate environment.
In Latin America, momentum remained strong, with net insurance revenue up 16.7% like-for-like (7.1% including the currency effect), led by the personal risk/protection segment.
Net insurance revenue from own-funds portfolios was stable at €775 million.
