DOUBLE-DIGIT ACTIVITY GROWTH, DRIVEN BY SAVINGS AND RETIREMENT BUSINESS
In the first half of 2025, Crédit Agricole Assurances generated record total premium income1 of €27.5 billion, up +19.4% compared to the end of June 2024. Life insurance business was particularly dynamic in France (+27.8%) driven by the inflow collection of partner banks.
In savings and retirement, premium income1 reached €20.8 billion at the end of June 2025, up +24.6% year-on-year. The first half year of 2025 benefited from the full effect of the preferential profit sharing (PAB) offers on euro payments, launched at the end of the first half of 2024; these boosted gross inflows2 on the General Account to €13.9 billion (+29.5%). Unit-Linked gross inflows2 totalled €6.9 billion, up +15.9% compared to the first half of 2024. As a result, the share of Unit-Linked within gross inflows2 stood at 33.2% (-2.5 points year on-year).
Net inflows2 set a half year record of +€8.2 billion, up +€5.7 billion compared to the first half of 2024. By product, net inflows2 amounted to +€4.4 billion on the General Account and +€3.8 billion on Unit-linked.
Life insurance outstandings4 reached €359.4 billion at the end of June 2025 thanks to very strong net inflows and a positive market effect. They included €251.0 billion on the General Account (+3.2% over six months) and €108.4 billion on Unit-Linked (+4.1% over six months). Unit-Linked reserves represented 30.2% of total life insurance outstandings at the end of June 2025, up +0.2 point compared to December 31, 2024.
In property and casualty, the business continued to grow with gross written premiums1 up +8.5% compared to the end of June 2024, reaching €4.0 billion. The portfolio exceeded 16.9 million contracts and grew by +2.8%, representing a net contribution of nearly 470,000 contracts over one year; in addition to the price increases induced by climate change and the inflation of repair costs, the average premium benefited from changes in the product mix.
Equipment rates within the Crédit Agricole Group's banks kept growing year-on-year, at the Regional Banks (44.2%5, up +0,7 point), LCL (28.4%5, up +0.6 point) and CA Italia (20.6%6, up +0.9 point).
In personal protection (death and disability / creditor / group insurance7), gross written premiums1 increased by +1.8% compared to the end of June 2024, to €2.7 billion. Group insurance (+12.0%) and individual death and disability (+4.8%) recorded good performances. Creditor insurance was down slightly (-1.4%), notably due to international consumer credit.
RESILIENT RESULTS REFLECTING BUSINESS GROWTH
Crédit Agricole Assurances' net income Group share reached €1,016 million for the first half of 2025, down -1.7% over one year. Adjusted for the exceptional tax contribution on the profits of large companies, Crédit Agricole Assurances' net income Group share rose by +5.8%, reflecting the change in revenues.

The Contractual Service Margin9 amounted to €26.8 billion at the end of the first half of 2025, up +6.3% since December 31, 2024. It included a strong contribution from new business of €1.7 billion, driven by revenues growth higher than the release through P&L (-€1.1 billion). Stock revaluation effect stood at +€1.0 billion due to positive market effect.
