Milan, 5 February 2019 – The Board of Directors of Intesa Sanpaolo Vita, under the chairmanship of Luigi Maranzana and under the management of the Chief Executive Officer Nicola Maria Fioravanti, also responsible for the Insurance Division of Intesa Sanpaolo, has approved the results as at 31 December 2018. These refer to the Intesa Sanpaolo Vita Insurance Group with reference only to companies subject to a controlling interest (excluding therefore Fideuram Vita) and, for the Unitary Division2, to the Intesa Sanpaolo Vita Insurance Group including Fideuram Vita which, at the entity level3, is consistent with the Insurance Division of the Parent Company Intesa Sanpaolo.
“The Insurance Division closed 2018 with a solid commercial performance and a growing income, thanks to the contribution of over 800 people who work in it and to the distribution networks and despite the instability of the financial markets that characterised most of the year.
Net income amounted to 672 million, up by more than 5%, and the Solvency Ratio stood at 215%.
The Insurance Group maintained leadership positions in the national life and pension market and contributed 11% to the Intesa Sanpaolo Group's gross operating income - said Nicola Maria Fioravanti, Head of the Insurance Division of the Intesa Sanpaolo Group.
The strategy to strengthen the Group's offer in Wealth Management & Protection, facilitated by the joint work of the Division and the Networks, allowed us to achieve significant growth in non-motor non-life business in the first year of the 2018-2021 Business Plan. In fact, premiums for Home and Health products almost doubled and their incidence among Group customers increased to 7.7% at the end of 2018 from 5.4% in 2017 and 3.8% in 2016. The Insurance Group is expected to rank among the top ten operators in the national protection business, where it confirmed its leadership in Bancassurance.”
