Dr Renko Dirksen, ARAG SE’s speaker of the board of management, said in an emailed release: “We are meeting the needs of our customers. This is not only achieved selectively but applies to the entire enterprise with all segments. ARAG is growing dynamically while at the same time improving its earnings and using the profits to invest in personnel, technology, and to strengthen its solvency.”
Improving its combined ratio from 89.2% to 86.7%, the company had around 12 million policies in its portfolio at the end of 2022. The ARAG Group’s German business saw an 8.2% increase in premium income while its international insurance business expanded by 10%.
“The continued high premium growth is primarily attributable to the strong legal insurance segment – the largest unit in the group,” ARAG said. “This grew by 5.9% in the German market and by 7.5% in international business. The health insurance segment again delivered a strong growth impulse of 12.7% and is now the largest ARAG business unit in the German market. The composite segment also achieved a significant premium increase of 12.2%.”
In the first quarter of 2023, meanwhile, ARAG’s total premium income jumped 11.5% to €712.3 million.
