Unipol stock posts 1.39 billion euro nine-month profit

Unipol's board approved the group's consolidated results for the first nine months of 2026 on Thursday, November 12, with the figures published by Unipol Group on Friday, November 13. The reported consolidated net profit reached 1.262 billion euros, up 12.6 percent from the comparable period of 2025.

Unipol also presented a restated nine-month result of 1.388 billion euros, up 12.4 percent year on year. That figure includes the contribution from associate BPER for the full nine-month period, while the reported figure includes BPER only through June. The distinction is material for investors because it separates the operating result from the timing of the banking associate's contribution.

Insurance business drives growth

The Insurance Group generated net profit of 1.249 billion euros, an increase of 30.1 percent from 961 million euros a year earlier. Unipol said the improvement was driven mainly by the solid performance of its core insurance business.

Direct insurance income rose to 12.8 billion euros, 5.3 percent above the normalized prior-year figure of 12.1 billion euros. Non-life income reached 7.0 billion euros, up 3.9 percent, while life income increased 7.2 percent to 5.8 billion euros.

The combined ratio stood at 92.5 percent and remained in line with the targets in Unipol's plan. For an insurer, the ratio is a key measure of underwriting performance: a level below 100 percent indicates that premiums exceeded claims and related costs before investment income.

Capital remains a central watchpoint

Unipol reported a group solvency ratio of 244 percent. The Insurance Group's solvency ratio was higher at 275 percent. These levels provide a substantial capital cushion, but investors will continue to monitor how dividends, claims experience and the contribution from BPER affect capital allocation.

Unipol stock traded at 26.23 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 11:19 CET on Friday, November 13. The quote places the market focus on the newly released earnings, while the insurance profit increase and stable combined ratio provide the main operating signals from the report.
