VIG: Positive outlook for 2025 as Group eyes EUR 1 billion pre-tax profit

24 May 2025 — Daniela GHETU
Vienna Insurance Group AG Wiener Versicherung Gruppe (VIG) held its 34th Annual General Meeting today at the Wiener Stadthalle, where shareholders approved key resolutions, including a notable dividend increase.

Following a proposal by the Managing and Supervisory Boards, a dividend of EUR 1.55 per share was approved - marking a 10.7% increase compared to the previous year. The Group’s dividend policy maintains the previous year’s payout as a minimum and foresees steady growth aligned with operating performance.

Key dividend dates are as follows:

  • Ex-dividend date: May 26, 2025
  • Record date: May 27, 2025
  • Payment date: May 28, 2025
During the meeting, CEO Hartwig Löger reaffirmed VIG’s position as the leading insurer in the CEE region, attributing its ongoing success to strategic diversification and robust performance across all business lines. He noted that both premium growth and profit contributions were broadly spread across markets and segments.

Importantly, VIG’s conservative reinsurance strategy and diversified regional footprint helped mitigate the financial impact of Storm Boris, which caused severe flooding in parts of Europe earlier this year.

Looking ahead, the Group is targeting a pre-tax profit between EUR 950 million and EUR 1 billion for the 2025 financial year—underlining continued confidence in its growth trajectory.

All resolutions on the agenda were adopted by the required shareholder majority. A recording of CEO Hartwig Löger’s presentation is available at group.vig/annual-general-meeting.
