- Excellent first half – consistently delivering
- Double digit growth in operating profit, cash remittances and capital generation
- Confident outlook for 2024 and beyond
Amanda Blanc, Group Chief Executive Officer, said:
“Sales are up. Operating profit is up. The dividend is up. Our plan to deliver more for customers and shareholders is working really well. “We have achieved another six months of excellent trading. We have generated growth right across Aviva, thanks to our leading positions in attractive markets such as workplace pensions and general insurance in the UK and Canada.”
“Aviva continues to benefit significantly from the balanced and diversified business we have built and lead. We are the only UK insurer which can look after customers’ entire insurance, wealth and retirement needs, and this is paying off. We have 270,000 more customers this year and 4.9 million UK customers have more than one policy with us.”
“We are the number one provider of workplace pensions and are planning to launch a new venture and growth capital strategy. This will open up new investment opportunities for our pension customers and could help unlock billions of pounds of investment into unlisted growth companies”
“We remain very positive about Aviva’s prospects. Trading conditions across the UK, Ireland and Canada, are excellent. And the UK market, our largest, is highly attractive and growing. We see many reasons to invest here, including greater economic stability and political certainty. This encouraging backdrop – and Aviva’s continued strong financial performance – means we are increasingly confident we can deliver even more for our customers and shareholders.”
