Allianz expects to recognize a non-operating IFRS gain of approximately 1.1 billion euros from this transaction in its 1Q 2026 results and anticipates a positive impact of approximately 5 percentage points on its Group Solvency II ratio. Over the course of 2026, Allianz plans to use the IFRS gain for investments into strategic growth and productivity initiatives, and the realization of losses to accelerate reinvestment of fixed income instruments into higher yields. These actions will have a positive impact on future profitability and will create options for the future.

Context
The expected IFRS gain will provide Allianz with funds to reinvest, aiming for higher yields, which could bolster profitability in the long term. This move reflects a robust strategy to optimize its asset portfolio amidst changing market conditions.
