Ageas CEO Bart De Smet said: "We are very satisfied with the strong nine-month
and third quarter results. The results show that we are delivering against the
promises in our Ambition 2018 strategic plan. The combined ratio, margins in
guaranteed Life, return on equity and solvency all exceed our targets.
The strong results are driven by an excellent operating performance across all
segments, both in Life and Non-Life. In the UK, the results are still affected -
as forecast - by the residual impact of the Ogden discount review, but we see an
improved performance in the third quarter as a first result of our restructuring
plan.
We also see an increase in innovative products and services across all operating
companies in the Group, where digitisation and a continued strong focus on the
customer play a dominant role.
With regard to the potential Fortis settlement, Ageas took an additional
provision of EUR 100 million which allows us to address the Amsterdam Court of
Appeal's main concerns on the initial proposal. In the meantime the Court has
extended the filing period by eight weeks, providing us with an opportunity to
continue to work on an amended and balanced agreement together with all parties
until 12 December 2017."
