Office, the German economy recorded a 0.3% increase in real
gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter of 2026. Private and public consumption expenditure were the main contributors to this growth. The geopolitical crisis in the Middle
East is currently weighing on the German economy, particularly through significantly higher energy prices, leading to increased uncertainty regarding future economic developments.
Against this backdrop, the W&W Group got off to a good start in 2026. Whilst new business performance varied across the individual segments in the first three months of the financial year, the portfolio grew in all segments.

In the housing segment, new business volume was lower than in the previous year. Total premiums in life insurance rose by 6.6%. In the property/casualty insurance segment, new business remained at the previous year's level. The positive performance in the motor vehicle and retail customer segments is being overshadowed by measures to improve profitability in the corporate customer business.
The earnings performance at the start of the year underscores the objective of once again increasing both the consolidated profit under IFRS and the profit under the German Commercial Code (HGB) in W&W AG's annual financial statements for the current financial year.
As expected, the housing segment got off to a stronger start in 2026 thanks to an improved financial result. In personal insurance, the trend in operating profit remained stable. In property/casualty insurance, increases in premium income driven by portfolio growth, combined with a moderate claims trend, led to another good underwriting result, although it was somewhat weaker than in the exceptional previous year. Overall, the Group's earnings performance was therefore encouraging.
Capital ratios continued to perform well.
Outlook
With a view to 2026 as a whole, we are maintaining the earnings forecasts from the annual report. We are tar-
geting a consolidated net income (IFRS) of between €120 million and €150 million. This forecast is subject to the proviso that there are no capital market disruptions, economic downturns or unforeseeable major loss events in the remainder of the year.
