Vienna Insurance Group's profits surged 31% in 2025's first nine months, driven by strong premium growth and lower claims.

Vienna Insurance Group reported an 8.6% rise in gross written premiums to €12.46 billion in the first nine months of 2025, driven by growth across all regions and lines, with health, motor third-party liability, and life insurance leading. Profit before tax jumped 31% to €872.8 million, aided by a 2.2 percentage point improvement in the net combined ratio to 92.1%, largely due to lower weather-related claims. Vienna Airport canceled its third runway project, revising 2025 net income guidance down to €210 million from €230 million due to reclassifying €55.9 million in prior project costs. Meanwhile, Frequentis partnered with the UAE’s GCAA to develop the FIV-X system to advance Trajectory-Based Operations, and S&P upgraded three UNIQA Group entities to “A+” and UNIQA Insurance Group AG to “A,” all with stable outlooks. Austrian stocks reached their highest ATX levels since 2007.
