brought to a halt during lockdowns and will recover only gradually. On top of these market challenges, there is the operational challenge of business continuity: maintaining operations and serving clients while protecting employees.
The global asset management industry ended 2019 on a high note, only to face a new chapter of economic turmoil when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out in early 2020. As already described, the volatility seen in stock markets reached new heights in March 2020, as investors sold their positions in a wave of uncertainty about consequences of the pandemic. Central banks around the world have been implementing stimulus packages in an attempt to lessen the impact of the pandemic on the economy. Thus, though volatile, there was a turnaround in the stock markets with the MSCI World listing not even 10 % below end of 2019 as per end of June 2020. For fixed-income indices, U.S. interest rates have been a shock absorber. In light of progressive market recovery, long-term net inflows were starting to stabilize in May

ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRY ENVIRONMENT
The first half-year of 2020 was marked by the COVID-19 pandemic. What was set to become a year of unspectacular growth is now expected to see a very severe recession, as the COVID-19 outbreak forced governments around the world to put the economy on an unprecedented pause in order to fight the pandemic. Although the trough of the crisis might already be behind us, the global economy is still operating at only 70 - 80% capacity, reflecting the need for targeted lockdowns to combat new outbreaks of the virus and prolonged sanitary restrictions. It will take time before we can witness a return to business as usual.
Governments have come to the rescue with huge fiscal support packages, amounting to more than € 9 tn at the global level (around 12% of global GDP). Central banks, too, have responded quickly and boldly to contain the pandemic-related crisis, using the whole toolbox of monetary instruments (more than € 7 tn or close to 10 % of global GDP). These expansionary fiscal and monetary policy measures have left their mark on financial markets, in particular equity markets: After initially falling by around 30 % in reaction to COVID-19, equity markets started to recover as early as March and recouped most of their losses, leading to a decoupling between the real economy and equity market performance.
The insurance industry is affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in three ways: First, claims, which will evolve over a much longer time hori- zon, as compared to property related catastrophes such as hurricanes, while the reduced claims frequency observed during the lockdown period has a positive effect. Second, in the capital markets, falling interest rates, widening spreads, and volatile stock markets will weigh on profit and loss accounts and balance sheets of insurers. Third, there will be second-round effects of the recession, as new business was virtually

2020, yet with a mixed picture across asset classes: Equity fund outflows were worsening in May 2020. Fixed-income funds on the other hand saw an improvement to a robust level of growth.
MANAGEMENT'S ASSESSMENT
Our total revenues decreased by 1.5 % on an internal basis6, compared to the same period of the previous year, driven by our Life/Health business segment. Our Asset Management business segment recorded volume-driven revenue growth, while our revenues from our Property- Casualty business segment increased very slightly.
COVID-19 severely impacted the operating profit from our insurance operations. Our Property-Casualty business segment's operating profit was burdened by a much lower underwriting result, due to COVID-19-related losses as well as higher claims from natural catas- trophes. In our Life/Health business segment we recorded a lower operating profit. This decline was mainly due to a lower investment margin - a result of the financial market turmoil as well as a change in the amortization period for deferred acquisition cost, which the United States had introduced in the second quarter of 2019, resulting in a favorable effect that year. Despite difficult markets, our Asset Management business segment's operating profit grew due to higher average assets under management. The operating result of our Corporate and Other business segment worsened, driven by a lower operating investment result and a contribution to a COVID-19 solidarity fund.
Our operating investment result decreased by € 2,838 mn to
- 8,827 mn, compared to the previous year's period. This decrease was due to significantly higher impairments and a lower trading result, partly offset by higher realizations on debt securities.
Our non-operatingresult worsened by € 284 mn to a loss of
- 745 mn. This was partly due to higher investments in productivity and efficiency. In addition, COVID-19-related market impacts reduced our non-operating investment result.

Interim Report for the First Half-Year of 2020 − Allianz Group
A _ Interim Group Management Report
Income taxes decreased by € 321 mn to € 1,023 mn, due to lower income before taxes. The effective tax rate increased to 24.8 % (23.7%), in particular as a result of a lower positive impact from DTA recognition (+0.7percentage points) and a higher negative impact from local taxes (+0.3 percentage points).
The decrease in net income was largely driven by the drop in operating profit.
Our shareholders' equity1 decreased by € 1.9 bn to € 72.1 bn, compared to 31 December 2019, driven by a dividend payout of
- 4.0 bn and € 750 mn for the purchase of 4.9 million own shares as part of the latest share buy-back program announced in March 20202. This was partly offset by a net income attributable to shareholders of
- 2.9 bn. Over the same period, our Solvency II capitalization ratio de- creased to 187 %3.
For a more detailed description of the results generated by our business segments - Property-Casualty insurance operations, Life/Health insurance operations, Asset Management, and Corporate and Other - please consult the respective chapters on the following pages.
Risk and opportunity management
Group Risk has a central role within our risk governance framework: It is both the key Group function to support the Board of Management in fulfilling its risk oversight responsibilities, and also Allianz SE's Risk Management function. This also includes the ongoing assessment of risks in the context of pandemics such as COVID-19. For assessing current developments with potentially significant effects on the Allianz Group, such as COVID-19, it is particularly important to perform specific analyses. Therefore, our risk management processes include measures such as risk assessments, scenario analyses, solvency projections, and an increased reporting frequency if and as needed, making them suitable for coping with adverse developments such as COVID-19.
For underwriting risk, emerging events such as pandemics are analyzed and taken into account as part of the specific analyses or regular model reviews carried out by our experts.
FINANCIAL RISK
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have an impact on the Group's market risk, as it is causing significant price impacts on the financial market especially for equities. It is also expected to continue having an impact on credit risk, in particular that associated with loans granted, investments in fixed-income securities, and reinsurance as well as credit spread risk - mainly when these are associated with investments in fixed-income securities. Nevertheless, due to the high quality of our fixed-income portfolio, which is characterized by highly rated invest- ments, the impact on credit risk should remain limited. The resulting impact on our financial risk is estimated based on specific analyses.
LIQUIDITY RISK
In the current market environment, which is under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Allianz's liquidity situation is affected in particular by the economic and solvency situation of our related entities as well as the political and regulatory requirements regarding corporate capital management activities, such as the general ability to pay divi- dends. We are carefully monitoring this development to ensure that Allianz SE in its role as the Group's holding company has sufficient resources to support solvency capital needs within the Group as well as its own operative liquidity needs. We still expect to retain a satisfactory liquidity position, as we define our risk appetite based on stress scenar- ios, and in Allianz SE's liquidity risk reporting we consider specific stress scenarios. For example, a dedicated scenario simultaneously assumes disturbances in the financial market as well as potential recapitaliza- tion needs of related undertakings. Furthermore, we have been in ongoing contact with our entities to get a timely and comprehensive picture on COVID-19-related impacts on liquidity and developments that could potentially have an adverse effect.
RISK PROFILE
UNDERWRITING RISK
In our Life/Health insurance business, the COVID-19 pandemic could affect, amongst other things, the frequency and severity of diseases, mortality, and inflation. In our Property-Casualty insurance business, we continue to expect our Global lines to be hit the hardest - Allianz Partners via travel insurance, Euler Hermes via credit insurance, and AGCS in the entertainment or business interruption line of business - since the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic still leads to the cancelation or postponement of big events such as trade fairs or sporting events, or has the potential to increase insolvencies in case the termination of state aid is not accompanied by increasing economic activity. Decreasing claims frequency in motor business especially observed during the lockdown period has an offsetting effect, provided we do not face significant premium refunds.
In addition, there is the risk that political pressure to retroactively extend insurance coverage may lead to legislative developments with adverse impacts on the insurance business.
OPERATIONAL RISK
The Group's operational risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic mainly result from possible operational delays due to public measures to restrict social contacts, as well as from employee health problems, costs of evoking the business continuity plans, and delays or failures in the provision of external services. The advanced digitalization of our operations has enhanced the Group's ability to deal with the consequences of the crisis. In particular, it has helped us to shift the workforce to "Work from Home"-mode without major challenges and to ensure that all business processes continued without interruptions.
CAPITALISATION
In the first six months of 2020, our capitalization decreased from 212 % as of 31 December 2019, to 187 %3 as of 30 June 2020. The drop was mainly driven by the impact the pandemic and respective policy measures had on the financial markets. Key drivers have been declining interest rates in combination with falling equity prices and increased credit spreads. While equity markets have recovered most of their losses in the second quarter, especially interest rates still remain at very low levels.

A _ Interim Group Management Report
We are carefully monitoring the development of the COVID-19 crisis and are also managing our portfolios with great diligence to ensure that the Group and its entities continue to have sufficient resources to back their solvency capital needs in line with our dynamic own-risk and solvency management processes. Based on stress tests conducted, there is currently no indication of Allianz Group not being compliant with its Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) or minimum consolidated Group Solvency Capital Requirement. This statement takes into account the known impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as expected devel- opments, based on the conditions that existed as of 30 June 2020.
OTHER INFORMATION
Allianz has expanded its security and business continuity management measures to ensure the safety of employees and their families, while continuing to operate as smoothly as possible for the sake of our cus- tomers.
Our statements on risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic are based on our assessments as of end of June 2020. The overall impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic still cannot be predicted with any certainty, due to the fact that the crisis is still ongoing.

Total revenues6
On a nominal basis, we recorded a 2.6 % increase in total revenues compared to the first six months of the previous year.
This includes unfavorable foreign currency translation effects of
- 171 mn7 and positive (de)consolidation effects of € 956 mn. On an internal basis, our total revenues went up 0.3 %, driven by a positive price effect of 3.8 % and a negative volume effect of 3.5 %.
Driven largely by the deterioration of our underwriting result, our operating profit decreased compared to the first six months of the previous year. A decline in our operating investment income added to that outcome.
The significant decrease in our underwriting result was driven by higher claims from natural catastrophes and an overall negative impact of COVID-19 that amounted to € 0.8 bn. Strong improvements on the expense side stood in contrast to a lower contribution from run-off, compared to the first six months of the previous year. Overall, our combined ratio worsened by 2.7 percentage points to 96.7 %.
The following operations contributed positively to internal growth: AGCS: Total revenues increased to € 5,532 mn - up 12.1 % on an
internal basis. Much of this was a result of positive price effects across our Property, Liability, and Financial Lines lines of business.
Asia-Pacific: Total revenues amounted to € 660 mn, corresponding to 14.9 % internal growth. It was mainly due to favorable volume effects in China through our partnership with JD.com.
Germany: Total revenues grew to € 6,770 mn, an increase of 1.1 % on an internal basis. It was the result of positive price effects in our motor and houseowner insurance business.

10.7% drop on an internal basis. Much of this was a result of COVID- 19-related negative volume effects in our travel insurance business, particularly in the U.S.
Italy: Total revenues fell to € 1,835 mn. This decrease of 4.9 % on an internal basis was mainly due to unfavorable volume and price effects in our motor insurance business.
Allianz Direct: Total revenues amounted to € 597 mn - a decline of 11.5 % on an internal basis. This was based on negative volume effects in our motor insurance business.

Our accident year loss ratio8 stood at 71.9 % - a 2.5 percentage point deterioration compared to the first half of the previous year, due to COVID-19-related losses and higher losses from natural catastrophes. This translates into a negative impact on our combined ratio of 0.8 percentage points: from 1.5 % to 2.3 %.
Leaving aside losses from natural catastrophes, our accident year loss ratio was 69.6 %, an increase by 1.7 percentage points in comparison to previous year's ratio.

A _ Interim Group Management Report
The following operations contributed positively to the development of our accident year loss ratio:
Italy: 0.5 percentage points. This was driven by a lower claims frequency in our retail insurance business as a consequence of the lock- down.
Allianz Direct: 0.4 percentage points. The improvement resulted from a significant reduction in claims frequency in our motor insurance business across all markets, also due to COVID-19. The biggest impact stemmed from Italy.

The following operations weighed on the development of our accident year loss ratio:
AGCS: 2.1 percentage points. This deterioration resulted from an increase in natural catastrophes and a severe impact of COVID-19, mostly on the Entertainment line of business.
Reinsurance: 1.5 percentage points. This increase was almost exclusively due to the negative effects from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our positive run-off result amounted to € 456 mn, compared to
- 740 mn in the first half-year of 2019. This translates into a run-offratio of 1.8 %, after the 2.9 % we saw in the prior year. Most of our oper- ations contributed positively to our run-off result.
Total expenses amounted to € 6,909 mn in the first six months of 2020, compared to € 6,939 mn in the same period of 2019. Our expense ratio improved significantly by 1.0 percentage points, benefiting from our acquisitions in the United Kingdom and a positive cost development at AGCS.
Operating investment income (net)

Our other result benefited from the sale of an owner-occupied property in Germany.
Net income
Our net income decreased strongly in the first six months of 2020. Beside the decline in operating profit, a deterioration of our non-operating investment result - which was due to the aforementioned turbulent financial markets - as well as an increase in our expenditure on efficiency measures contributed to this outcome. The overall effect was only partially offset by lower income taxes.

Present value of new business premiums (PVNBP)5
Our PVNBP decreased by € 3,292 mn to € 31,269 mn, under the impact of the pandemic. Most of the drop was a result of the lower sales of capital-efficient products in the German life business and in the United States. Another contributing factor was the decline in sales of guaranteed savings & annuities products in France. The negative effects were partly offset by increased volumes from protection & health products in the German health business as well as in the United States,

Statutory premiums4
On a nominal basis, statutory premiums decreased by 2.8% in the first half of 2020, affected by social distancing due to COVID-19. Favorable foreign currency translation effects amounted to € 177 mn and positive (de-)consolidation effects stood at € 59 mn. On an internal basis4, statutory premiums declined by € 1,280 mn - or 3.4 % - to € 36,356 mn.
Statutory premiums in the German life business increased to
€ 13,782 mn. This 1.6 % growth on an internal basis was mainly driven |
by higher sales in our business with capital-efficient products. In the |
German health business, statutory premiums reached € 1,864 mn, up |
4.9% on an internal basis. This was largely attributable to premium ad- |
justments in the comprehensive health care coverage and from the ac- |
quisition of new customers in supplementary health care coverage. |
In the United States, statutory premiums declined to € 4,863 mn. |
and from unit-linked products in Italy.

The decrease - 18.4% on an internal basis - was mostly caused by |

offset by higher sales of non-traditional variable annuity products. |
In Italy, statutory premiums grew to € 5,213 mn, up 7.8 % on an in- |

with unit-linked and capital-efficient products. |
In France, statutory premiums decreased to € 3,207 mn. Most of |

- 2,948 mn, translating into an 8.2 % rise on an internal basis. It was mainly driven by a sales increase in unit-linked products in Indonesia and Taiwan.
Our operating profit decreased, which was mainly due to the fact that in the second quarter of 2019, the amortization period for deferred acquisition costs had been extended in the United States, resulting in a favorable effect in that year. Further contributing factors included a COVID-19-induced decrease in the investment margin - driven by higher impairments in the first quarter of 2020 and increased hedging expenses in our U.S. variable-annuities business in the first half of 2020
- as well as the disposal of Allianz Popular S.L. in Spain. The overall COVID-19-related negative impact on the operating profit amounted to € 0.4 bn in the first half of 2020.

Our investment margin decreased. In the United States, we saw increased hedging expenses, which were due to market turbulences in our variable-annuities business. In most countries of the Eurozone, we recorded higher impairments in the first quarter of 2020, mostly for eq- uities, driven by the market turmoil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partly offset by higher realizations and lower policyholder participations.

Loadings from premiums went down, mostly due to lower sales of single -premiumcapital-efficient products in the German life business in the second quarter of 2020. Loadings from reserves rose, largely driven by higher reserve volumes mainly in Germany and in the United States, and were stable in relation to reserves. Unit-linkedmanagement fees decreased, which was primarily caused by the disposal of Allianz Popular S.L. in Spain. This was partly compensated by an increase in Italy, predominantly attributable to a rise in the assets under management.

Our acquisition expenses and commissions increased. Much of this was due to higher commissions in France and to a shift from administrative and other expenses in Thailand. In addition, stronger unit-linkedsales in Indonesia and Italy, as well as higher protection & health sales in Turkey also contributed to the increase. The positive effects were partly offset by a decline in our product sales for fixed index annuities

Administrative and other expenses went up, largely due to higher IT and sponsorship expenses in Italy and increased social security contributions as well as IT expenses in France.
TECHNICAL MARGIN4
Our technical margin improved, mainly due to lower claims experience and growth in the Asia-Pacific region. A release of claim reserves as well as a large claim in the first half of 2019 in France and a stronger lapse result in Italy also helped the upswing. Negative drivers included the deconsolidation of Allianz Popular S.L. in Spain, reduced disability margin in Switzerland, and a worsened risk margin in the German health business due to a higher policyholder participation.

Impact of change in DAC | (63) | 319 | (382) |
Net income
Our net income remained stable. A higher non-operating result - mainly due to increased realizations resulting from the disposal of Allianz Popular S.L. in Spain - and reduced income taxes in the first half-year of 2020 compensated for the decrease in the operating profit.
Return on equity
The impact of change in DAC turned negative. This was mainly caused by a change in the U.S. DAC amortization period in the second quarter of 2019, leading to a favorable effect in that year, and by true-ups due to market turmoil in the traditional variable-annuities business in the United States, as well as in the unit-linked business in Taiwan. The lower capitalization was largely driven by the weakened sales of fixed index annuity products in the United States.
OPERATING PROFIT BY LINES OF BUSINESS2
Our return on equity decreased slightly by 0.4 percentage points to
12.3%. This was largely attributable to the increase in total equity com- pared to year-end 2019.

The operating profit in our guaranteed savings & annuities line of business decreased. Most of this was a consequence of a declined investment margin in the United States. A product re-allocation to the capital -efficient products line of business coupled with a lower contribution due to the decreased portfolio share in the German life business were further key factors. The drop in our operating profit in the protection & health line of business was largely driven by the lower investment margins in France, and in the German health business. The deconsolidation of Allianz Popular S.L. in Spain also contributed negatively, while lower claims as well as growth in the Asia-Pacific region had a partially offsetting effect. The operating profit generated by our unit-linkedwithout guarantee line of business decreased, mainly due to the disposal of Allianz Popular S.L. in Spain but also due to developments in our business in Taiwan. The decline in the operating profit in the capital- efficient products line of business resulted primarily from a change in the DAC amortization period in the United States in the second quarter of 2019, leading to a favorable effect in that year. This was partly compensated by higher volumes in the German life business.
1_"Impact of change in DAC" includes effects of change in DAC, unearned revenue reserves (URR) and value of business acquired (VOBA). It represents the net impact of deferral and amortization of acquisition costs as well as of front-end loadings on operating profit, and therefore differs from the figures reported in our IFRS financial statements.

Net outflows4 of total assets under management (AuM) amounted to
-
20.5 bn for the first half of 2020, driven by third-party AuM net out- flows of € 20.6 bn. A major part of these net outflows was attributable to PIMCO, although AllianzGI contributed as well. (PIMCO: € 16.6 bn total/€ 20.3 bn third-party; AllianzGI: € 3.9 bn total/€ 0.3 bn third- party). Caused by COVID-19-related market turbulences, the net out- flows concentrated in the first quarter of the year, while in the second quarter we saw net inflows again.
Positive effects from market and dividends5 totaled € 6.2 bn. Of these, € 27.8 bn came from PIMCO and were related to fixed-income assets, while € 21.6 bn negative effects stemmed from AllianzGI and were attributable to all asset classes except fixed-income assets.

For separate accounts and mutual funds, the investment success (valued on the basis of the closing prices) is compared with the investment success prior to cost deduction of the respective benchmark, based on various metrics. For some mutual funds, the investment success, reduced by fees, is compared with the investment success of the median of the respective Morningstar peer group (a position in the first and second quartile is equivalent to outperformance).
The decrease in the overall three-year rolling investment outperformance is due to COVID-19-driven significant market dislocation; also investors shifted significant amounts of capital from both debt and equity capital markets into money market funds during the first quarter of the year, which created a challenging performance environment for some of our funds.

Operating revenues
Our operating revenues increased by 5.2% on a nominal basis. This development was driven by higher average third-party AuM at PIMCO, due to strong market effects - despite a downturn in the first quarter of 2020 - especially from fixed-income assets. Net inflows and favorable foreign currency translation effects supported the increase. On an internal basis1 operating revenues increased by 3.0%.
We recorded lower performance fees at both AllianzGI and PIMCO due to a challenging performance environment following COVID-19.
Other net fee and commission income rose, driven by increased average third-partyAuM at PIMCO.

Operating profit
Our operating profit increased by 5.4 % on a nominal basis, as growth in operating revenues exceeded an increase in operating expenses. On an internal basis1, our operating profit grew by 3.3 %, which was due to higher average third-party AuM.
The nominal increase in administrative expenses was driven by PIMCO, where an increase in headcount as well as a positive business development led to higher personnel expenses. AllianzGI, on the other hand, recorded lower expenses due to cost containment.
Our cost-incomeratio remained almost unchanged.
Net income
The decrease in our net income was driven by a lower non-operating result due to restructuring expenses.

Earnings summary
Our operating result declined strongly, compared to the first six months of the previous year, mainly due to a deterioration in our operating investment result and a contribution to a COVID-19 solidarity fund.
Our net loss worsened as well. The decline of our operating result was partly offset by lower interest expenses for external debt and a higher income tax result.

OUTLOOK
Economic outlook1
Given the gradual recovery from lockdowns, we expect the global GDP (gross domestic product) to fall by 4.7 % in 2020, followed by growth of
4.8% in 2021. The return to pre-crisis levels, mainly driven by China and the United States, is expected at the end of 2021 at the earliest. Uncer- tainty, however, remains extremely high. This U-shaped scenario hinges upon the assumption that fiscal and monetary policies remain effec- tive and no second wave of infections force governments to re-impose generalized domestic lockdowns. The unprecedented health and eco- nomic crisis triggered by COVID-19 creates unprecedented levels of uncertainty, too.
In our base case, the U.S. GDP will shrink by 5.3 % in 2020 and grow by 3.7% in 2021. In the Eurozone, the shape of the U will be even more pronounced, plunging by 9 % in 2020 and recovering by 6 % in 2021. Continued sanitary restrictions, lingering contagion fears, heightened economic uncertainty, and the expected uneven global recovery will shape consumption and investment decisions and have an impact on underlying growth dynamics. As a result, the Eurozone GDP is expected to recover to pre-crisis levels in late 2022.
Fiscal and monetary policy will remain expansionary for the time being. For money markets, in particular, a new cycle of interest rate hikes seems to be a long way off. It is very likely, after this very severe recession, that central banks will be more cautious than ever when it comes to monetary normalization. In this context, yields in developed markets are expected to remain on a long-term downward slope. For 2020, we expect 10-year Bunds to finish the year at -0.5% and 10-year U.S. Treasuries at 1.0 %, slightly above current levels.
Insurance industry outlook1
The COVID-19 pandemic rendered our forecast at the beginning of the year, which predicted rising premiums in 2020, obsolete. Now, a decline in global premiums has to be expected.
In the property-casualtysector, the link between economic activity and insurance demand is close. Therefore, the recession and gradual recovery, affecting new business in many lines of business, are expected to have an impact on premium growth.
In the life sector, demand for some products, such as unit-linked policies, is directly influenced by capital markets; therefore, higher volatility could influence premium growth. Industry profitability could be affected by two factors: Increased market volatility and suppressed yields may put pressure on investment income while COVID-19-related claims may shape underwriting profitability. Visibility on claims remains still relatively low and capital market developments are hardly predictable amidst an evolving pandemic. The trend of market hard- ening, however, might not be stopped by the pandemic, quite the con- trary.
Over the long-term,COVID-19 might accelerate structural changes in the industry: The digitalization of the business model, the pivot to Asia, and the growing significance of ESG-factors (ESG = Envi- ronment, Social, Governance) are likely to gather steam after COVID-19.
Asset management industry outlook1
The industry's profitability remains under pressure from continuous flows into passive products, new pricing models, and rising distribution costs. Digital channels such as robo-advisory platforms are gaining prominence and the strengthening of regulatory oversight could also affect profitability. At the same time, opportunities in the area of active management will continue to exist, particularly in alternative / illiquid and solutions-oriented strategies, but also in equity and fixed-income products. In order to continue growing, it is vital for asset managers to keep sufficient business volumes, ensure efficient operations, and maintain a strong investment performance. Overall, it will be essential for asset managers to address their asset flows and profitability through continued structural changes in areas such as product innova- tion, cost structure, and growth strategies.
Outlook for the Allianz Group
The outlook for 2020 assumed no significant deviation from the underlying assumptions, i.e. stable global economic growth and no major disruption. In light of the macroeconomic development caused by the pandemic, however, and the expected impact on the financial development of the operating entities of the Group, the Board of Management does not assume that Allianz Group will be able to achieve the target range for the operating profit 2020 in the amount of € 12 bn +/- € 500 mn as communicated in the 2019 Annual Report. Therefore, the overall outlook for 2020 was withdrawn on 30 April 2020.
In our Property-Casualty insurance business, the strongest impact from the pandemic concerns the underwriting result, with a negative net effect of € 0.8 bn at the end of the first half of 2020 which is equally split over the first two quarters. The negative impact was primarily in entertainment, business interruption, business closure, Euler Hermes and travel. This negative impact is partly offset by a decline in fre- quency. Overall, the impact for 2020 will depend on the further development of the pandemic. Consequently, despite some positive impacts as described above, we expect a reduction in annual operating profit compared to the prior year.
1_The information presented is based on our own estimates.
Interim Report for the First Half-Year of 2020 − Allianz Group | 13 |
A _ Interim Group Management Report
The impact of the pandemic on the Life/Health business is largely due to the capital markets development. The market turbulences seen in the first six months led to a negative impact of € 0.4 bn, mainly via higher impairments and a spike in market volatility affecting the hedge result of our U.S. business. The overall impact for 2020 will depend on the further pandemic development and its impact on capital markets. We expect a lower operating profit compared to 2019.
The Asset Management segment was affected by the financial market downturn and related investor uncertainties which led to negative market valuation of AuM, net outflows and lower performance fees in the first quarter 2020. Although latest market developments have provided some tailwind, markets still face high volatility and a pronounced level of risk.
Our Corporate and Other segment is also affected by the development of the capital markets due to a lower expected investment result.
Given the overall uncertainty due to the pandemic as described above, a quantitative outlook in the usual manner cannot be given at the mo- ment.

The decrease in shareholders' equity - € 1,866 mn - was attributable to the dividend payout in May 2020 (€ 3,952 mn) and the change in treasury shares (€ 760 mn) due to the share buy-back. The net income attributable to shareholders amounting to € 2,927 mn partly offset these effects.
Our Solvency II capitalization ratio decreased from 212 % to 187 %3 over the first six months of 2020. The decrease was predominantly driven by negative market developments following the COVID-19 pandemic and associated policy responses. This impact was only partly offset by capital generation and management actions.
Two of our operating entities (Allianz Leben and Allianz Private Krankenversicherung) requested approval from the BaFin to apply transitional measures on their technical provisions, which the BaFin granted in June 2020. The application of transitionals decreases the value of technical provisions as disclosed in the market value balance sheet, with a partially offsetting impact in deferred taxes. As a result, Group eligible own funds increased by € 13.5 bn and our Solvency II capitalization ratio by 31 percentage points to 217 %. Our general capital steering will continue to be based on the past approach, excluding the application of transitional measures for technical provisions. As this is the first-time application, we neither restate nor recalculate previously disclosed ratios.

Compared to year-end 2019, our overall asset allocation remained rather stable, with a decrease in our equity investments.
Our well-diversified exposure to debt instruments increased compared to year-end 2019, mainly due to new investments. About 92% of this portfolio was invested in investment-grade bonds and loans.1 Our government bonds portfolio contained bonds from France, Germany, Italy, and Spain that represented 17.4 %, 13.7 %, 7.2 % and
6.2% of our portfolio shares. Our corporate bonds portfolio contained bonds from the United States, Eurozone, and Europe excl. Eurozone. They represented 39.4 %, 33.2 % and 12.1% of our portfolio shares.
Our exposure to equities decreased due to sales and market movements.
LIABILITIES
PROPERTY-CASUALTY LIABILITIES
As of 30 June 2020, the business segment's gross reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses as well as discounted loss reserves amounted to € 71.9 bn, compared to € 70.0 bn at year-end 2019. On a net basis, our reserves, including discounted loss reserves, increased from € 60.1 bn to € 61.1 bn.2
LIFE/HEALTH LIABILITIES
Life/Health reserves for insurance and investment contracts increased by € 8.0 bn to € 580.9 bn over the first six months of 2020. The € 9.3 bn increase in aggregate policy reserves before foreign currency translation effects was mainly driven by our operations in Germany (€ 8.2 bn). Reserves for premium refunds decreased by € 0.8 bn (before foreign currency translation effects) and foreign currency translation effects reduced the balance sheet value by € 0.5 bn.
1_Excluding self-originated German private retail mortgage loans. For 4 %, no ratings were available.

RECONCILIATIONS
The previous analysis is based on our condensed consolidated interim financial statements and should be read in conjunction with them. In addition to our figures stated in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), the Allianz Group uses operating profit and internal growth to enhance the understanding of our re- sults. These additional measures should be viewed as complementary to, rather than a substitute for, our figures determined according to IFRS.
For further information, please refer to note 5to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements.
Composition of total revenues
Total revenues comprise total revenues in Property-Casualty, statutory premiums in Life/Health, operating revenues in Asset Management, and total revenues in Corporate and Other (Banking).
Composition of total revenue growth
We believe that the understanding of our total revenue performance is enhanced when the effects of foreign currency translation as well as acquisitions, disposals, and transfers (or "changes in scope of consoli- dation") are analyzed separately. Therefore, in addition to presenting nominal total revenue growth, we also present internal growth, which excludes these effects.

B _ Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
GENERAL INFORMATION
1 _ Basis of presentation
The Allianz Group's condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 and have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), as adopted under European Union regulations.
For existing and unchanged IFRSs, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements use the same accounting policies for recognition, measurement, consolidation and presentation as applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019. These condensed consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 4, insurance contracts are recognized and measured on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) as at first-time adoption of IFRS 4 on 1 January 2005.
Amounts are rounded to millions of Euro (€ mn), unless otherwise stated.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Allianz Group were authorized for issue by the Board of Management on 3 August 2020.
2 _ Recently adopted accounting pronouncements (effective 1 January 2020)
The following amendments and revisions to existing standards became effective for the Allianz Group's consolidated financial statements as of 1 January 2020:
- IFRS 3, Definition of a Business,
- IAS 1 and IAS 8, Definition of Material,
- IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7, Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Phase 1),
- Revised Conceptual Framework,
- Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards.
These changes had no material impact on the Allianz Group's financial results or financial position.
3 _ Impact due to COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic is currently affecting all aspects of personal and professional lives, global economic development, and the financial markets. Despite all these uncertainties, the Allianz Group is very well prepared for the situation. The interim financial statements for the first half-year of 2020 have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Consequently, the pandemic had impacts on all business seg- ments. In the business segment Property-Casualty, the business inter- ruption, entertainment, and credit were concerned due to higher claims. These effects were partly compensated by lower claims from reduced frequencies of claims in motor. In addition, the net income was lowered by reduced realized gains / losses (net) and higher impairments of investments. The business segment Life/Health was also impacted by negative effects, especially due to market turndowns in the investment areas and higher hedging costs. The business segment Asset Management was impacted by the severe financial market disruption and related investor uncertainties which led to a negative market valuation of assets under management and net outflows in the first quarter of 2020. In the second quarter of 2020, the business units PIMCO and Allianz GI were able to almost fully recover from the aforementioned impacts by reaching strong positive market effects and third-party net inflows.
According to the US CARES Act which has been signed into law on 27 March 2020 in response to COVID-19, a carryback of tax losses generated in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to tax years 2015 and following years is permissible. For Allianz Life Insurance of North America, a tax loss carry back potential to those periods occurred leading to a tax asset valued with a tax rate of 35 % instead of a tax loss carry forward valued with a tax rate of 21 %. The resulting tax benefit amounts to € 92 mn.
Given to the Solvency II capitalization ratio of 187%1, the Allianz Group does not see any indication of any non-compliance with its Solvency Capital Requirements of the minimum consolidated Group Solvency Capital Requirement.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the default risk for trade credits provided by suppliers has increased significantly. In order to protect the real economy, many governments, particularly European Union member states, established temporary state support schemes for the area of private credit insurance. In return for these state support schemes, the insurance companies have committed to maintaining their current level of credit limits.
Euler Hermes, the credit insurer within the Allianz Group, entered into agreements with Germany, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Norway as of 30 June 2020. Whereas some of the state support

schemes the Allianz Group entered into are reinsurance schemes, others are structured as guarantee contracts from a legal point of view. Irrespective of this legal qualification, for IFRS accounting purposes these contracts fulfill the definition of reinsurance contracts. Conse-

€ mn
quently, the state support schemes are consistently accounted for as reinsurance contracts. Until 30 June 2020, the total of premiums ceded under the state support schemes are € 164 mn. Against the backdrop of COVID-19, no active market exists for such transactions with comparable volume and price.
Regarding impairments of assets next to investments (e.g. soft- ware, deferred tax assets, right-of-use assets, and property, plant and equipment), the Allianz Group did not realize any material impair- ments. After evaluation, the Allianz Group concludes that the COVID- 19 pandemic and the respective economic slowdown does not result in an impairment of goodwill.
So far, the Allianz Group has not observed any material nor sustained impacts on mortality, longevity, lapses, or health to justify significant changes of assumption in projections parameters. In the second half-year of 2020, the assumptions will be reviewed in detail.
Regarding the valuation methodologies used for financial instruments carried at fair value, the policy for determining the levels within the fair value hierarchy, and the significant Level-3 portfolios, no material changes have occurred in combination with the COVID-19 pan- demic.

-
1.2 bn due to COVID-19. Of this amount, € 0.8 bn were related to Property-Casualty and the remaining € 0.4 bn to Life/Health.

4 _ Consolidation and classification as held for sale
SIGNIFICANT BUSINESS COMBINATIONS IN 2020
Effective 10 July 2020, Allianz Seguros S.A. Brazil acquired 100% in automobile and other Property-Casualty business from SulAmérica ("Sul- América Auto e Massificados" - "SASAM"). The acquisition strengthens the competitive position of Allianz in Brazil, making it one of the top 3 insurers of the largest economy in South America with a market share of around 15 percent in motor and 9 percent in Property-Casualty insur- ance, and establishing Allianz as the number 2 in motor insurance.
Allianz Brazil acquired approximately € 0.6 bn in assets and
- 0.4 bn in liabilities of SASAM in consideration for a total purchase price of approximately up to € 0.5 bn. At the time the condensed consolidated interim financial statements of Allianz Group were authorized for issue, the initial accounting for the business combination was incomplete. Spe- cifically, the initial valuation of identifiable intangible assets as well as the transition of accounting policies of SASAM to IFRS requirements was still pending. Therefore, detailed disclosures of the amounts to be recog- nized as of the acquisition date for major classes of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed including goodwill cannot be made at this point. Furthermore, the impact on revenue and net income of the consolidated income statement of the Allianz Group had SASAM been consolidated from 1 January 2020 cannot be reliably disclosed.

As of 30 June 2020, all requirements were fulfilled to present the Sakura investment in Japan, allocated to the reportable segments German Speaking Countries and Central & Eastern Europe (Life/Health) and Corporate and Other, as a disposal group classified as held for sale.

The valuation methodologies used for financial instruments carried at fair value, the policy for determining the levels within the fair value hierarchy, and the significant Level-3 portfolios, including the respective narratives and sensitivities, are described in the Allianz Group's Annual Report 2019. No material changes have occurred since this report was published.
SIGNIFICANT TRANSFERS OF FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS CARRIED AT FAIR VALUE
In general, financial assets and liabilities are transferred from level 1 to level 2 when liquidity, trade frequency, and activity are no longer indicative of an active market. Conversely, the same policy applies for transfers from level 2 to level 1.
Transfers into/out of level 3 may occur due to a reassessment of the input parameters.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT ON A NON-RECURRING BASIS
Certain financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If financial assets are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at the time of impairment, or if fair value less cost to sell is used as the measurement basis under IFRS 5, corresponding disclosures can be found in note 27.

LITIGATION
In July 2020, complaints were filed against certain Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI) entities as well as, in part, Allianz SE and Allianz Asset Management GmbH in the U.S. Federal Court for the Southern District of New York, in connection with losses suffered by investors in AllianzGI's Structured Alpha funds during the COVID-19-related market downturn. Allianz expects that other investors in such AllianzGI funds may bring similar actions. Allianz is currently reviewing the complaints and intends to defend vigorously against the allegations therein, which Allianz believes to be legally and factually flawed. AllianzGI U.S. has also received a related information request from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding AllianzGI's Structured Alpha funds, and is fully cooperating with the SEC.

This automatically terminated the contingent indemnity agreement between Allianz and HT1 Funding GmbH, pursuant to which Allianz was, under certain circumstances, obliged to make payments to HT1.
All other contingent liabilities and commitments had no significant changes compared to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

Our responsibility is to issue a review report on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We conducted our review of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the interim group management report in accordance with German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (Institute of Public Auditors in Germany) (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with moderate assur- ance, that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU nor that the interim group management report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the provisions of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim group management reports.
