Executive summary

  • On track for another year of exceptional performance, with strong business momentum and confidence in sustaining high returns.

  • Return on equity is expected to remain in the high teens for FY25, supported by targeted premium growth and strong underwriting and investment performance.

  • Announced an on-market buyback of AUD 450 million to be completed through 2026, funded by surplus capital.

  • Confident in delivering 2025 guidance for growth and combined operating ratio, with early guidance for 2026 indicating continued strong returns.

  • Planning for FY26 is well advanced, with expectations of further premium growth and a stable combined operating ratio.

Financial highlights

  • Gross Written Premium (GWP) growth of 6% year-over-year, with ex-rate growth at 5%.

  • Excluding non-core run-off in North America and Crop, ex-rate GWP growth was 7%.

  • Premium rate increases year-to-date around 1.5%, with higher increases (4%) outside commercial property and Lloyd's.

  • Group premium rate increases were -1.5% for the nine months, mainly due to commercial property lines.

  • Investment returns remained strong, with a core fixed income yield of 3.7% and total investment FUM at $34.8 billion.

Outlook and guidance

  • 2026 combined operating ratio guidance set at around 92.5%, reflecting improved stability and visibility of profits.

  • Premium rate increases for 2026 expected to be similar to 2025, with focus on sustainable mid-single-digit volume growth.

  • FY25 constant currency GWP growth is expected in the mid-single digits, including a ~$250 million drag from non-core run-off in North America.

  • Key drivers for 2026: normalization of catastrophe and large risk costs, supportive operating environment, and further margin expansion from performance initiatives.

  • No reserve releases planned for 2026; cost growth expected to remain below revenue growth, improving expense ratio.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
