Allianz SE (ALV.XE) said on Friday that its fourth-quarter net
profit recorded a double-digit fall, hit by one-off costs.
The German insurer said net profit fell 22% to 1.43 billion
euros ($1.78 billion) compared with the same period last year.
Operating profit was EUR2.76 billion compared with about EUR3
billion a year earlier. Revenue increased 5.6% to EUR31.7
billion.
The company said the decline in profit was mainly due to one of
charges such as a EUR135 million charge related to U.S. tax reforms
and EUR210 million from the sale of Oldenburgische Landesbank.
Allianz's U.S. fund manager Pacific Investment Management Co.
posted third-party net inflows of about EUR43 billion in the fourth
quarter. This is the sixth consecutive quarter with inflows. Pimco
went through a difficult period in 2014 after the departure of
co-founder Bill Gross, which sparked an outflow of money.
Allianz's board proposed a dividend of EUR8 per share, a 5.3%
increase from the EUR7.60 a share in 2016.
"The group aims to achieve an operating profit of 11.1 billion
euros in 2018, plus or minus 500 million euros, barring unforeseen
events," Chief Financial Officer Giulio Terzariol said.
