Dynamic activity driven by savings & retirement


9M 2025 KEY FIGURES:

  • Total premium income1 at a highest at €39.3 billion, up +20.0%2
  • Net inflows3 of +€12.0 billion of which more than half on the General Account
  • Contribution to Crédit Agricole S.A.’s Net Income Group Share of €1,461 million, up +4.8%2 excluding the effect of the exceptional corporate income tax

“The results of this third quarter confirm the strength of our universal banking and insurance model, with a dynamic activity across all our business lines. The increase in our savings and retirement premium income, by nearly 25% over one year, clearly reflects it. In a period of political and economic uncertainty, it reflects the trust of our clients to secure and support their future projects.
These excellent results come at a time when we are preparing to celebrate 40 years of Insurance within the Crédit Agricole Group; 40 years of entrepreneurial and human adventure, closely aligned with the expectations of our clients and society, which, thanks to the commitment of our teams and of our partner banks, enable us to sit as the first insurer in France and first bank-insurer in Europe.”
Nicolas Denis, Chief Executive Officer of Crédit Agricole Assurances

DOUBLE-DIGIT ACTIVITY GROWTH, DRIVEN BY SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT

Over the first nine months of the year, Crédit Agricole Assurances generated total premium income1 of €39.3 billion, up +20.0%2 compared with the end of September 2024. Life insurance is particularly dynamic in France (+27.2%) driven by the inflow collection of our partner banks.

In savings and retirement, premium income1 reached €29.8 billion at the end of September 2025, up +24.9% year-on-year in an environment favourable to savings. Commercial momentum and the development of autonomous voluntary payments stimulated gross inflows3. They totalled €19.8 billion (+27.0%) on the General Account and €10.1 billion on Unit-Linked (+21.0%). As a result, the share of Unit-Linked within gross inflows stood at 33.7% (-1.1 points year on-year).

Net inflows3 amounted to +€12.0 billion, up +€7.8 billion year-on-year. By product, net inflows3 reached +€6.3 billion on the General Account (+€5.2 billion year-on-year) and +€5.7 billion on unit-linked (+€2.6 billion year-on-year).

Life insurance outstanding4 reached €366.7 billion at the end of September 2025 thanks to very strong net inflows3 and a positive market effect. They included €254.6 billion on the General Account (+4.7% over nine months) and €112.2 billion on Unit-Linked (+7.7% over nine months). Unit-Linked reserves represented 30.6% of total life insurance outstandings at the end of September 2025, up +0.6 point compared to December 31, 2024.

In property and casualty5, the business continued to grow with gross written premiums1 up +9.4% compared to the end of September 2024, reaching €5.4 billion, including the first consolidation of Abanca Seguros Generales (ASG) in Spain. At constant scope, excluding ASG, the increase would be +8.3%. The portfolio exceeded 17.2 million contracts and grew by +3.9% (+2.8% at constant scope). Net contribution represents 651,000 contracts over one year (464,000 contracts at constant scope). In addition to the price increases induced by climate change and the inflation of repair costs, the average premium benefited from changes in the product mix.

Equipment rates within the Crédit Agricole Group’s banks kept growing year-on-year, at the Regional Banks (44.6%6, up +0.8 point), LCL (28.6%6, up +0.7 point), and CA Italia (20.6%7, up +0.6 point).

In personal protection (death and disability / creditor / group insurance8), gross written premiums1 amounted to €4.1 billion, up +3.5% year-on-year, including the first consolidation of Abanca Seguros Generales (ASG) in Spain; at constant scope, excluding ASG, the increase would be +3.1%. Group insurance recorded growth of +21.8%, notably with the entry into force of the contract concluded with the Industries Électriques et Gazières (IEG) this quarter. Individual death and disability grew by +5.3%. Finally, creditor insurance was down slightly (-0.5% and -1.1% at constant scope) notably due to international consumer credit.

RESILIENT RESULTS REFLECTING BUSINESS GROWTH

The contribution of Crédit Agricole Assurances to Crédit Agricole S.A.’s Net Income Group Share reached €1,461 million at the end of September 2025, stable year-on-year (-0.4%2). Adjusted for the exceptional tax contribution on the profits of large companies, it grew by +4.8%2, reflecting the change in revenues.

The combined ratio9 was stable year-on-year at 95.4% (-0.1 point compared to September 2024).
With a neutral impact of discount, the net undiscounted combined ratio decreased by -0.1 point over one year to stand at 97.6%.

The Contractual Service Margin10 reached €27.3 billion at the end of September 2025, up +8.3% since December 31, 2024. It included a strong contribution from new business of €2.2 billion, driven by revenues growth higher than the release through P&L (-€1.7 billion). Stock revaluation effect stood at +€1.5 billion due to positive market effect.
