Ecclesiastical Insurance Office plc has reported a profit before tax of £84.6m for the year ended 31st December 2025. This was up by 2.5% on the previous year. Gross written premium increased by 2.1% to £653.7m. The carrier said its Solvency II coverage ratio was 252%.

Mark Hews, chief executive officer at Ecclesiastical, said: “Thanks to our strong financial performance, we have been able to donate over £28m to good causes this year. This contribution will support vital projects for those facing the greatest challenges in society.

“Having now donated over £275m since 2014, we have now surpassed our target to give £250m and have become one of the largest corporate donors to charity in the UK.

“Our general insurance business delivered an underwriting profit of £62.2m, an increase on last year, supported by unusually benign weather conditions and the absence of major losses. While this is a welcome result, it is important to recognise the inherent volatility of our specialist markets.”
