Thursday, November 12, 2026 · Finance · GSM News

Munich Re published its final third-quarter and nine-month results on November 12, 2026. The group reported a net result of €1.742 billion for the third quarter, compared with €1.997 billion a year earlier.

For the first nine months, the net result was €5.667 billion, compared with €5.176 billion a year earlier. The company said the result was driven by a pleasing operating performance across all business segments and below-average major losses in property and casualty reinsurance.

Group insurance revenue from insurance contracts issued was €16.626 billion in the third quarter, compared with €14.575 billion a year earlier, and €46.583 billion for the nine months, compared with €45.162 billion.

The total technical result was €2.375 billion, down from €2.822 billion, and the operating result was €2.472 billion, down from €3.036 billion. Major losses in the third quarter amounted to €646 million after retrocession and before tax, including natural disaster losses of €514 million, with the costliest event the El Choco earthquake in Colombia at about €300 million.

The property and casualty reinsurance combined ratio was 80.0 percent in the quarter. The company had earlier raised its 2026 net result target from €6.3 billion to €6.6 billion and maintained that target with the final results. Munich Re said it will disclose its 2027 financial outlook on December 10 and present full-year 2026 results on February 25, 2027.

All figures are from Munich Re's quarterly statement published on November 12, 2026.
