Talanx AG's General Meeting approved all resolutions proposed by the Board of Management and Supervisory Board, including the proposal on the appropriation of the distributable profit, by a very large majority. Shareholders voted to increase the dividend per share by 35 cents (roughly 15 percent) to EUR 2.70.This means the Talanx Group's dividend has increased from EUR 1.05 to EUR 2.70 since the Company went public, for a compound annual growth rate of 8 percent. The dividend yield is 3.7 percent, based on the average share price in 2024 of EUR 72.27. The goal is to steadily lift the dividend per share to EUR 4.00 by 2027.
Speaking at the Annual General Meeting, Talanx AG CEO Torsten Leue underscored the Talanx Group's extremely good performance in the past year: "In 2024, we not only exceeded our targets and further increased our resilience in a challenging market environment, but also drove forward our diversification. Our Group net income rose by 25 percent to EUR 1,977 (1,581) million, more than twice the rate of our insurance revenue, and our Primary Insurance now contributes almost half of our Group net income. Our success in 2024 shows that our focused strategy with our trust-based, performance-driven culture is paying off. We have a decentralised organisation, are broadly diversified and hold cost leadership positions in 93 percent of our Group, measured in terms of our Group net income. This makes us optimistic for 2025 as well, and we are pursuing our goal of generating Group net income in excess of EUR 2.1 billion with great confidence. We have got off to a very good start in the new year despite significant
