operating profit quarters in its history," said Giulio Terzariol. "Our focus continues to be on investment 
outperformance, net inflows and productivity." 
In the first half-year of 2021, operating revenues grew by 9.8 percent to 3.8 billion euros, as a result of higher 
AuM-driven revenues and also higher performance fees. Our cost-income ratio improved to 59.0 (62.2) percent. Operating 
profit rose by 19.2 percent to 1,572 (1,319) million euros. Adjusted for foreign currency translation effects, 
operating profit increased by 27.8 percent. High net inflows, positive foreign currency translation effects as well as 
favorable market effects resulted in third-party assets under management of 1,830 billion euros - an increase of 118 
billion euros or 6.9 percent, compared to year-end 2020. 
^[1] Excluding the application of transitional measures for technical provisions. 
^[2] As always, natural catastrophes and adverse developments in the capital markets, as well as factors stated in our 
cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements may severely affect the operating profit and/or net income of our 
operations and the results of the Allianz Group. 
^[3] Including the application of transitional measures for technical provisions, the Solvency II capitalization ratio 
amounted to 236 
percent at the end of the second quarter of 2021 (241 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2021).
