[node:field_featured_media:entity:field_media_image]

 Strong improvement in underlying earnings driven by the Americas

  • Expense savings reached an annual run rate of EUR 110 million, significantly exceeding the 2016 target
  • Fair value items result of EUR (13) million as gains in the Netherlands from widening credit spreads and higher interest rates were offset by losses in the United States as a result of market volatility
  • Net income of EUR 470 million driven by strong underlying earnings and one-time tax benefits
  • Return on equity increases to 10.5%, and 9.1% excluding one-time tax benefits

    Continued solid gross deposits; net outflows mostly from lower margin businesses

    • Gross deposits of EUR 23 billion; net outflows of EUR 3.5 billion driven by outflows from Chinese money market funds and anticipated lapses on Mercer block

    • Accident & health and general insurance sales down 5% to EUR 225 million following product exits in US
    • Market consistent value of new business of EUR 118 million benefiting from higher interest rates

    Solvency II ratio benefits from market movements
