Ageas saw its UK inflows in H1 2026 hit £1.2bn, up by 72% on the £725m reported for the same period last year. The jump follows the acquisitions of Esure and Saga’s underwriting business, Acromas Insurance Company Limited.

The group achieved inflows of £10.4bn, up by 17% on the same period last year. Its non-life combined operating ratio deteriorated to 95.2% in H1 2026 from the 92.1% achieved in H1 2025. It posted a net operating result of £665m in H1 2026, an increase of 6% on the same period last year.

Hans De Cuyper, CEO of Ageas, said: “Ageas delivered a strong commercial performance in the first half of 2026, with growth in inflows supported by excellent life sales across all regions and solid growth in non-life.

“This topline momentum translated into higher profitability with a 6% net operating result increase.”
