ANNEX 1
On 24 March 2005, pursuant to CONSOB Regulation No.11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended,
the Assicurazioni Generali S.p.A. issued a press release announcing details of the Assicurazioni
Generali Group's consolidated financial results as at and for the year ended 31 December 2004.
The following is extracted from an English translation of such press release.
"The Board of Directors of Assicurazioni Generali, chaired by Antoine Bernheim, approved the
Assicurazioni Generali Group's 2004 consolidated statement and Assicurazioni Generali's
results.
Consolidated net profit recorded a growth of 30 per cent. to Euro 1,314.6 million (Euro 1,015.1
million for the period ended 31 December 2003), ahead of the Euro 1,203 million target set for
2004.
This is the best result recorded by the Assicurazioni Generali Group in terms of quality. The
result from ordinary activity at the end of 2004 reached, in fact, Euro 2,213.2 million (Euro
1,790 mil ion in 2003), generated both by positive underlying operational earnings and
investment income. Insurance core business contributed with Euro 710.8 million, up from Euro
259.7 million in the financial year 2003.
Profitability was combined with the marked dynamism of premium collection by Assicurazioni
Generali Group companies which, in the main markets of operation, increased their market
shares. In particular, in Italy total market share grew to 22.1 per cent. from 20.1 per cent.; in
France to 7.3 per cent. from 5.5 per cent. In Germany, the share held in the life business market
grew to 11.1 per cent. from 10.5 per cent.
A dividend of Euro 0.43 per share is proposed for the financial year 2004, compared to Euro
0.33 in 2003, with a per share increase of 30.3 per cent. The total amount to be paid on al
shares is Euro 548.5 million (Euro 420.9 mil ion in 2003). The payment date is 26 May 2005.
Consolidated premiums amounted to Euro 56.3 billion, up 13.6 per cent. from Euro 49.6 billion
in 2003 ( an increase of 11.9 per cent. on a like-for-like) basis in terms of exchange rates and
perimeter), ahead of the Euro 53.3 bil ion target set for 2004 in the strategic plan of the
Assicurazioni Generali Group.
The combined ratio improved 2.4 percentage points to 100.9 per cent. from 103.3 per cent. at
the end of 2003, better than the 102.1 per cent. target set for 2004. The combined ratio would be
under 100 per cent., at 99.2 per cent., if calculated excluding contracts whose characteristics are
akin to those of a life product, such as health insurance in Germany and complementary cover in
France (101.3 per cent. for 2003).
Current financial results reached Euro 10,592.6 million (Euro 9,925.1 million for 2003).
Assicurazioni Generali recorded a net profit for the year of Euro 1,012.1 million (Euro 550.4
million in 2003). The result was impacted by net extraordinary components, which amounted to
Euro 338 million, arising from the application of legislative decree of 17 January 2003,
governing the so-called "elimination of fiscal interferences on accounts."
