The 8% increase in business volume reflects strong local demand driven by persistent macroeconomic uncertainty. While rising premium income signals an expanding customer base, the drop in net profit to 11 million euros points to significant pressure on operating margins. Sector analysts suggest this gap likely stems from higher claims costs, especially in segments exposed to climate risks like floods or droughts, which generated larger losses than initially expected. Additionally, rising administrative expenses and investments in digitalizing claims management are eroding profitability, even as subscription volume expands.
UNIQA is betting on a resilience strategy, focusing on diversifying its product portfolio to cover emerging risk types. Management’s statement emphasizes adapting offerings to current realities, where clients seek not only financial protection but also psychological and logistical support during critical moments. The company is strengthening its position through strategic partnerships with banking networks and digital platforms, improving policy access for younger population segments. However, maintaining a balance between attracting new volumes and preserving a healthy profit rate remains the central challenge for the second quarter, in an environment where inflation and capital market volatility continue to influence investment decisions of insurance funds.
