Allianz Group’s Consolidated Results of Operations

Total Revenues1)

We experienced substantial growth in total revenues in our Life/Health, Banking and Asset Management segments, whereas total revenues from our Property-Casualty segment remained flat. Overall, our total revenues increased as planned by 4.9% to €29.6 billion. Internal growth amounted to 2.9%.

LOGO

Property-Casualty With a clear – and successful – focus on profitability, we continue to allocate our resources with the purpose of balancing profit generation with volume accumulation and accepting only those risks which we believe will produce sufficient returns. Overall, our gross premiums written remained stable at €14.1 billion. On an internal growth basis, we experienced a slight decline of 1.0%.

Life/Health Our statutory premiums rose by 7.9% to €12.8 billion. Internal growth was 5.0%. We were successful in achieving increases in statutory premiums across all geographic regions, with particularly strong growth rates in Europe and Asia-Pacific.

Banking Operating revenues from our Banking segment experienced dynamic growth in the traditionally strong first quarter of the year, and increased by 15.3% to €1.9 billion. At Dresdner Bank, growth was even stronger at 16.1%. All revenue categories contributed to these developments.

Asset Management At March 31, 2006, third-party assets amounted to €753 billion, a €10 billion increase from December 31, 2005. Continued strong net inflows of €14 billion were offset by negative foreign currency impacts of a similar magnitude. Excluding foreign currency impacts, our third-party assets rose by €24 billion, or 3.2%, compared to December 31, 2005. Commensurate with this positive development, our operating revenues increased by 32.5% to €751 million, primarily reflecting higher net fee and commission income.


1) Total revenues comprise Property-Casualty segment’s gross premiums written, Life/Health segment’s statutory premiums, Banking segment’s operating revenues, and Asset Management segment’s operating revenues.

Operating Profit

Our consolidated operating profit grew by 41.9% to €2.7 billion, driven by strong improvements across all segments.

LOGO

Property-Casualty We were successful in maintaining our strong profitability level and achieved an operating profit growth of 14.2% to €1.4 billion. Our combined ratio remains at a competitive level and, on a comparable basis, increased by 0.7 percentage points to 94.7%. This was driven by a 0.6 percentage point rise in our expense ratio to 28.5%, whereas our loss ratio remained relatively unchanged at 66.2% (1Q 2005: 66.1%), benefiting from improved risk management and the absence of significant losses from natural catastrophes.

Life/Health Our operating profit increased significantly by 39.8% to €723 million. The key factor in this development was the further margin improvement on our in-force business.

Banking We more-than-doubled our operating profit to €547 million, of which Dresdner Bank contributed €529 million. Driven by the strong increase in operating revenues and strict cost management, our Banking segment’s cost-income ratio improved significantly by 7.3 percentage points to 73.6% (Dresdner Bank: 7.3 percentage point improvement to 73.7%).

Asset Management Operating profit growth of 31.6% to €304 million reflected the strong increase in our operating revenues. Our Asset Management segment’s cost-income ratio of 59.5% remained nearly flat compared to 1Q 2005.

Non-Operating Items

Non-operating items contributed €354 million, slightly less than in 1Q 2005. We leveraged strong equity capital markets and generated in 1Q 2006 a disproportionate part of our capital gains target for 2006, although not at the prior year’s level. In aggregate, the impact from realized gains/losses (net) and impairments of investments (net) was €778 million. Approximately one-half of this development was offset by interest expense from external debt, acquisition-related expenses from our Asset Management segment and other non-operating items.

Net Income

Our net income grew significantly by 34.4% to €1.8 billion.

Income before income taxes and minority interests in earnings increased €776 million to 3.0 billion. Operating profit, with its growth of €790 million and reaching €2.7 billion, was the single main driver behind both the increase in, and magnitude of, income before income taxes and minority interests in earnings.

Largely as a result of our improved operating profit, our income taxes rose to €899 million, representing an effective income tax rate of 29.7% (1Q 2005: 26.0%). The increase in our effective income tax rate stemmed principally from the favorable taxation of a large gain in 1Q 2005 from the sale of the holding in Gecina S.A. at our Life/Health subsidiary AGF Vie, which was not repeated in 1Q 2006. Minority interests in earnings remained rather stable at €353 million, primarily due to significantly higher earnings at RAS in Italy, which more than compensated for the reduced shareholdings of third parties following the buy-out of minorities in late 2005.

The following graph sets forth our basic and diluted earnings per share for 1Q 2006 and 1Q 2005.

Allianz Group’s Invested Assets and Total Equity

Total Equity

In 1Q 2006, we continued to succeed in strengthening our capital base on a sustainable basis.

Compared to December 31, 2005, our total equity increased by 4.0% to €49.0 billion at March 31, 2006. The increase in shareholders’ equity was even stronger at 4.6% to €41.3 billion, whereas minority interests remained relatively flat at €7.7 billion.

The growth in shareholders’ equity was driven predominantly by our strong net income in 1Q 2006 and, to a lesser degree, increased unrealized gains on investments due to favorable equity market conditions. Partially offsetting these positive developments were higher negative foreign currency translation adjustments from a weaker U.S. Dollar compared to the Euro at March 31, 2006 as compared to December 31, 2005.

The following graph sets forth the development of our shareholders’ equity in 1Q 2006.

Corporate

Our Corporate segment is comprised of all holding activities which are exercised on behalf of the Allianz Group as a whole.

Operating revenues increased by 17.4% to €331 million, largely driven by fee and commission income stemming from Four Seasons Health Care Ltd. Mainly attributable to a significant decline in other operating expenses, specifically investment expenses, operating profit improved to a loss of €180 million. Investment expenses benefited from substantially lower foreign currency losses, resulting from a stronger U.S. Dollar in 1Q 2006.

Gross Premiums Written

With a clear – and successful – focus on profitability, we continue to allocate our resources with the purpose of balancing profit generation with volume accumulation and accepting only those risks which we believe will produce sufficient returns. In summary, our gross premiums written remained stable at €14,149 million and comparable to 1Q 2005. Based on internal growth, gross premiums written declined slightly by 1.0%.

Growth varied considerably across different markets in which we are active. Positive developments were primarily experienced by our operations in the United States, Australia and Spain with additional gross premiums written of €72 million (7.7%), €28 million (9.2%) and €26 million (4.1%), respectively. In the United States, our operations benefited from a stronger U.S. Dollar in 1Q 2006. The positive trend in Australia, where the growth of gross premiums written was well above the market average1), occurred primarily in our financial

institutions/direct line of business, where sales significantly increased after strengthened marketing and sales activities. All lines of business contributed to the increase of gross premiums written in Spain.

These increases were offset by decreased gross premiums written primarily in Germany and the United Kingdom where gross premiums written declined by €101 million (2.0%) and €53 million (8.4%), respectively.

In Germany, our largest market, we remained committed to our focus on profitability and not volume. Gross written premiums declined mainly due to lower average premiums in our motor business following the introduction of the new “scoring tariff” as well as higher “no claims bonuses”. Additionally, softer market conditions in the commercial property business also proved challenging, leading to a decline in gross written premiums. In the United Kingdom, the decline was related to lower premiums written in our personal and commercial lines, as we continued our cycle management efforts, through which we endeavor to balance volume and margin criteria.

Operating Profit

LOGO

Our operating profit increased by 14.2% to €1,386 million. The top five contributing operating entities included Sachgruppe Deutschland (or “SGD”) in Germany at €321 million, Fireman’s Fund in the United States at €199 million, AGF in France at €127 million, RAS in Italy at €80 million and Allianz Cornhill in the United Kingdom at €60 million, which represent nearly all of our primary insurance markets. The strongest improvements occurred at AGR/AMA (€108 million), our newly formed unit which combines the activities of Allianz Global Risks Re, Allianz Marine & Aviation and our German corporate customer business, as well as in France (€73 million) and the United States (€52 million).

Claims and insurance benefits incurred (net) increased by 2.4% to €6,182 million, due largely to a €137 million net increase in claims in 1Q 2006 on an accident year basis, while run-off related to prior periods remained relatively unchanged with a benefit of €181 million. As claims and insurance benefits incurred (net) increased relatively at the same rate as premiums earned (net), our loss ratio remained nearly unchanged at 66.2% (1Q 2005: 66.1%), benefiting from our improved risk management and the absence of significant claims from natural catastrophes.

Acquisition and administrative expenses (net) increased by 4.4% to €2,663 million. Thereof, acquisition costs increased by 7.1% to €1,507 million, largely due to higher commission payments. Administrative expenses increased slightly by 1.0% to €1,156 million. As a result of these effects, despite the increase in our premiums earned (net), our expense ratio rose by 0.6 percentage points to 28.5% (1Q 2005: 27.9%).

Driven largely by the rise in our expense ratio, our combined ratio was 94.7%, 0.7 percentage points higher than the prior year period, but continues to remain at a competitive level.

Interest and similar income increased by 6.3% to €922 million, reflecting primarily increased interest income at our operations in the United States and AGR/AMA, largely as a result of higher income from debt securities.

Non-Operating Items

Our non-operating items declined 17.1% to €428 million. This development was primarily attributable to a 16.4% decline in realized gains/losses (net), excluding realized gains/losses (net) on participating policies to €439 million largely as a result of large gains from the sale of MAN AG and Gecina S.A. in 1Q 2005.

Net Income

Net income increased by 10.4% to €1,100 million, driven by our robust operating profitability and an €88 million decline in our non-operating items.

Income taxes amounted to €524 million, resulting in an effective tax rate of 28.9% (2005: 31.4%).

Minority interests in earnings remained relatively stable at €190 million as the result of significantly higher earnings at RAS in Italy, which more than compensated for the reduced shareholdings of third parties following the buy-out of minorities in late 2005.

The following table sets forth our Property-Casualty insurance segment’s income statement and key operating ratios for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005.

Statutory Premiums

Our statutory premiums rose by 7.9% to €12,822 million, with particularly strong growth in France at €252 million (20.9%) and South Korea at €222 million (63.4%). Based on internal growth, our statutory premiums increased by 5.0%.

At Germany Life, statutory premiums remained relatively unchanged at €3,128 million, despite a prior year period that had seen a strong increase in statutory premiums from the carryover effect of contracts executed in late 2004 following the introduction of legislation, which reduced the favorable tax treatment of life insurance contracts with effect from January 1, 2005. In the United States, statutory premiums increased 1.7% to €2,772 million compared to a strong 1Q 2005, aided by a comparably stronger U.S. Dollar.

In France, dynamic statutory premiums growth of 20.9% to €1,460 million at AGF was well above plan. This success was driven by strong sales of individual life insurance policies, a development caused by favorable tax changes, which took effect in January 2006. Allianz Life Insurance Korea Ltd., Seoul (or “Allianz Life Korea”), with a growth in statutory premiums of 63.4% to €572 million, again enjoyed successful sales from variable life products, thus continuing the sales momentum experienced throughout 2005.

Conversely, in Italy, statutory premiums fell by 3.3% to €2,268 million due to lower production from our banking joint-venture.

Operating Profit

LOGO

Our operating profit increased significantly by 39.8% to €723 million. Further margin increases on our in-force business were a key factor in this development.

The top five contributing operating entities were Allianz Lebensversicherungs-AG (or “Allianz Leben”) within Germany Life at €133 million, AGF Vie in France at €124 million, Allianz Life of North America (or “Allianz Life”) at €121 million, our German Health subsidiary Allianz Private Krankenversicherungs-AG (or “APKV”) at €53 million and Allianz Life Korea at €25 million. The strongest improvements occurred at our operations in the United States, France and Italy, with increases of €85 million, €55 million and €38 million, respectively.

Interest and similar income developed favorably with an increase of 8.4% to €3,047 million, driven by both increased investment yields and an increased investment base as the result of positive business developments producing significant cash inflows from policyholders in recent years.

Realized gains/losses (net), excluding strategic investments declined 19.3% to €1,103 million. This was primarily the result of decreased realizations at our German Life operating entities, where net realized gains/losses declined by €258 million, largely as a result of the gain from the sale of MAN AG in 1Q 2005. Additionally, the decline was driven by lower net realized gains/losses of €41 million at AGF, also owing to the fact that 1Q 2005 had encompassed a significant gain on the sale of Gecina S.A.

Changes in reserves for insurance and investment contracts (net) declined 15.7% to €2,648 million. This decrease was attributable primarily to our German life operating entities, as a result of lower capital gains, higher acquisition related expenses, triggered by a “true-up” for deferred acquisition costs, and lower interest expenses for reduced reinsurance.

Acquisition and administrative expenses (net) increased markedly by 28.8% to €1,042 million, driven by a €241 million increase in acquisition expenses. This development was mainly attributable to Germany Life, in the context of the aforementioned “true-up”, and to a lesser extent to increased acquisition expenses at Allianz Life, AGF and RAS.

Our statutory expense ratio increased by 1.3 percentage points to 8.3% (1Q 2005: 7.0%), resulting largely from the aforementioned developments within acquisition and administrative expenses (net). Through the effects of the “true-up”, the statutory expense ratio of our German Life operating entities rose by 3.7 percentage points to 8.7%. Excluding the “true-up” effects in 1Q 2006 and 1Q 2005, our Germany Life statutory expense ratio would have improved by 2.1 percentage points, from 9.2% to 7.1%.

Non-Operating Items

Our non-operating items increased by €70 million to €158 million. This development was primarily related to an increase in realized gains/losses (net) from strategic investments, which is attributable to shareholders, of €68 million to €159 million, driven by Allianz Life in the United States, where we recorded an increase of €50 million stemming from gains from the sale of equity securities and an intra-Allianz Group sale of a participation in a sales company.

Net Income

Driven by strong operating profitability, our net income grew significantly by €40.9% to €534 million.

Income taxes more-than-doubled to €219 million. In addition to the significant growth in operating profit in 1Q 2006, income taxes in 1Q 2005 included the favorable tax treatment of a large gain from the sale of the holding in Gecina S.A. at AGF, which was not repeated in 1Q 2006. Hence, our effective tax rate increased to 24.9% from 17.2%.

Minority interests in earnings increased slightly to €128 million, as the result of significantly higher earnings at RAS in Italy, which more than compensated for the reduced shareholdings of third parties following the buy-out of minorities in late 2005.

Banking Operations

Strong first quarter.

 

    Operating revenues rose 15.3% to €1.9 billion.

 

    Operating profit more-than-doubled to €547 million.

 

    Cost-income ratio strengthened by 7.3 percentage points – both of Dresdner Bank’s operating divisions contributed strongly.

Earnings Summary

The €547 million operating profit of our Banking segment is almost exclusively represented by Dresdner Bank, accounting for 96.7% of our total Banking segment’s operating revenues and operating profit in 1Q 2006 (1Q 2005: 96.1% and 91.3%). Accordingly, the discussion of our Banking segment’s results of operations relates solely to the operations of Dresdner Bank.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues experienced increases across all categories producing an aggregate increase of 16.1% to €1,884 million. This positive development, which benefited from a favorable market environment in the first quarter, was primarily driven by a significant increase in net fee and commission income to €793 million. Within the Private & Business Clients (or “PBC”) division, there was a strong increase in the securities business, especially from equities, investment funds and certificates. Additionally, within the Corporate & Investment Banking (or “CIB”) division, revenues from corporate finance and advisory services more-than-doubled. As a result of substantial increases in equity and foreign currency trading, considerable growth occurred in income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net), reaching €487 million. Additionally, and largely attributable to a much lower negative impact from the accounting for derivative financial instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting, as well as increased revenues from our structured finance activities, net interest income grew to €578 million.

Operating Profit

Operating profit more-than-doubled to €529 million – both PBC and CIB contributed to this positive development, which was primarily due to the strengthening of the said divisions’ operating revenues. An additional factor, albeit to a lesser degree, was a net release of loan loss provisions of €33 million. While gross releases and recoveries continued to decrease, the decline in gross new additions to specific loan loss allowances was again even stronger. This resulted from the improved credit quality within our private and corporate customer portfolios, due to improved credit processes. An additional factor influencing this development was the decline in the number of individuals filing for bankruptcy in Germany in 1Q 2006.1) Our coverage ratio remained relatively stable at 60.4% at March 31, 2006 (March 31, 2005: 61.9%).

While our operating revenues within our PBC and CIB divisions increased 11.6% and 28.8%, respectively, our administrative expenses only rose by 5.3%. Specifically, personnel expenses increased by 10.0% to €891 million reflecting higher performance-related payments in our CIB division, offset in part by a slight decline in non-personnel expenses by 2.2% to €490 million. As a consequence of the strong operating revenue development, Dresdner Bank’s cost-income ratio improved significantly to 73.7% (1Q 2005: 81.0%).

Table of Contents

Non-Operating Items

Our non-operating items declined by 12.9% to €392 million due to lower realized gains/losses (net) of €414 million (1Q 2005: €492 million). Realized gains/losses (net) in 1Q 2006 included a tax-exempt gain of €282 million from the sale of Dresdner Bank’s remaining 2.3 % shareholdings in Munich Re to Allianz AG as well as a significant gain from the disposal of our remaining participation in Eurohypo AG.

Net Income

Founded on the favorable developments within operating profit, net income improved by 15.2% to €658 million.

Due primarily to increased operating profit, income taxes rose significantly to €238 million with an effective tax rate of 25.8% (1Q 2005: 10.3%). In 1Q 2005, a similar tax-exempt gain from the sale of Munich Re shares was realized, which had a larger impact on the 1Q 2005 effective tax rate due to a lower income before taxes and minority interests in earnings.

The following table sets forth the income statements and cost-income ratios for both our Banking segment as a whole and Dresdner Bank’s contribution to 1Q 2006 and 1Q 2005.

1) Effective 1Q 2006, we have reorganized our banking business within Dresdner Bank. Our newly formed Private & Business Clients division combines all banking activities formerly provided by the Personal Banking and Private & Business Banking divisions. Additionally, our Corporate Banking and Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein (or “DrKW”) divisions have been combined within a single organizational unit, Corporate & Investment Banking.
2) The Corporate Other division contains income and expense items that are not assigned to Dresdner Bank’s operating divisions. These items include, in particular, impacts from the accounting for derivative financial instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting, provisioning requirements for country and general risks, as well as realized gains and losses from Dresdner Bank’s non-strategic investment portfolio. In 1Q 2006, the impact from the accounting for derivative financial instruments which do not qualify for hedge accounting on Corporate Other’s operating revenues amounted to a charge of €23 mn (1Q 2005: charge of €20 mn). With effect from 1Q 2006, the majority of expenses for support functions and central projects previously included within Corporate Other have been allocated to the operating divisions. Additionally, the non-strategic Institutional Restructuring Unit (or “IRU”) was closed down effective September 30, 2005 having successfully completed its mandate to free-up risk capital through the reduction of risk-weighted assets. Furthermore, effective in 1Q 2006, and as a result of Dresdner Bank restructuring its divisions, the IRU’s 2005 results of operation were reclassified into Corporate Other. Prior year balances have been adjusted to reflect these reclassifications and allows for comparability across periods.

Asset Management Operations

Net inflows of €14 billion.

 

    Compared to December 31, 2005, our third-party assets rose by 3.2%, excluding foreign currency impacts—hence, we are well on track to achieve our growth target for 2006.

 

    Growth above 30% in both operating revenues and operating profit.

 

    Net income tripled versus 1Q 2005, reaching €90 million.

Third-Party Assets Under Management

In 1Q 2006, net inflows to third-party assets under management amounted to €14 billion. Market-related appreciation was €10 billion, primarily attributable to favorable equity capital markets and, to a lesser extent, bond capital markets worldwide. Hence, at March 31, 2006, and excluding foreign currency impacts, third-party assets were €24 billion, or 3.2%, higher compared to December 31, 2005. These achievements further strengthened our position as one of the world’s largest asset managers, based on total assets under management.1) A major success factor has been our competitive performance, as the overwhelming majority of the third-party assets we manage continued to outperform in 1Q 2006. Negative effects of €14 billion from exchange rate movements partly offset the growth in third-party assets, resulting primarily from the weaker U.S. Dollar versus the Euro at March 31, 2006, as compared to December 31, 2005.

Our major developments in 1Q 2006 included:

United States

 

    Allianz/PIMCO Funds were named “Best Mutual Fund Family of 2005” in the annual Lipper/Barron’s Fund Families Survey.

 

    Particularly strong net inflows of approximately €3 billion at our equity fund manager NFJ Investment Group.

Germany

 

    Allianz Global Investors (or “AGI”) ranked first among German asset management companies, based on net inflows in retail equity products.2)

 

    Feri Rating & Research gave Deutscher Investment-Trust (or “dit”) a five star rating as a top asset management company 2005.

2) Source: Bundesverband Investment und Asset Management (or “BVI”), an association representing the German investment fund industry.

We operate our third-party asset management business primarily through AGI. At March 31, 2006, AGI managed approximately 94.7% (December 31, 2005: 95.2%) of our third-party assets. The remaining assets are managed by Dresdner Bank (approximately 2.7% and 2.3% at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively) and other Allianz Group companies (approximately 2.6% and 2.5% at March 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively).

Earnings Summary

The results of operations of our Asset Management segment are almost exclusively represented by AGI, accounting for 97.9% and 98.7% of our total Asset Management segment’s operating revenues and operating profit, respectively, for 1Q 2006 (1Q 2005: 97.9% and 99.1%). Accordingly, the discussion of our Asset Management segment’s results of operations relates solely to the operations of AGI.

Operating Revenues

Our operating revenues increased by 32.4% to €735 million, primarily reflecting the strong growth of our third-party assets since March 31, 2005.

Net fee and commission income improved by 28.7% to €704 million, as AGI’s third-party assets at March 31, 2006 were €129 billion higher compared to March 31, 2005. The following table sets forth the composition of AGI’s net fee and commission income.

Income from financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value through income (net) increased by €13 million to €14 million, predominantly due to mark to market valuation of seed money in the United States.

Operating Profit

Operating profit increased significantly by 31.0% to €300 million, primarily resulting from the growth in our operating revenues. Operating profit development was particularly strong in the United States.

Operating expenses grew by 33.4% to €435 million. Thereof, personnel expenses rose to €285 million, an increase of 27.6%, due largely to increased performance-related compensation in the United States as a result of our strong business developments. Further, non-personnel expenses increased to €150 million, due to, among other factors, the growth of third-party assets.

As a result, our cost-income ratio increased moderately by 0.5 percentage points to 59.2%.

Non-Operating Items

Acquisition-related expenses remained flat at €138 million. Thereof, €136 million was due to the deferred purchases of interests in PIMCO related to the PIMCO LLC Class B Unit Purchase Plan (or “Class B Plan”), which increased by 7.1%. The rise was commensurate with the strong operating profit development at PIMCO. During 1Q 2006, the Allianz Group called a further 6,294 Class B equity units from both former and current members of management of PIMCO. The total amount paid related to the call was €89 million. Of the 150,000 Class B equity units, which the plan participants had originally acquired annually through December 31, 2004, the Allianz Group, in aggregate, has acquired 11,721 units as of March 31, 2006.

Amortization of intangible assets decreased by €30 million, benefiting from the expiration of amortization charges in 2005 relating to capitalized bonuses for PIMCO management.

Net Income

Net income reached €87 million, a €60 million improvement from the prior year period.

Income taxes increased by €39 million to €64 million. This development was predominantly driven by our improved operating profit. Overall, AGI’s effective income tax rate rose to 39.4% (1Q 2005: 38.4%).

Until December 31, 2005, these amortization charges were classified as acquisition-related expenses. Prior year balances have been reclassified to allow for comparability across periods.
7) Represents operating expenses divided by operating revenues.

Outlook

Well on track to achieving our targets.

LOGO

However, as always, natural catastrophes and adverse developments in the capital markets, as well as the factors stated below in our cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements, may severely impact our profitability.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the statements contained herein may be statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. In addition to statements which are forward-looking by reason of context, the words ‘may, will, should, expects, plans, intends, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential, or continue’ and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Actual results, performance or events may differ materially from those in such statements due to, without limitation, (i) general economic conditions, including in particular economic conditions in the Allianz Group’s core business and core markets, (ii) performance of financial markets, including emerging markets, (iii) the frequency and severity of insured loss events, (iv) mortality and morbidity levels and trends, (v) persistency levels, (vi) the extent of credit defaults (vii) interest rate levels, (viii) currency exchange rates including the Euro-U.S. dollar exchange rate, (ix) changing levels of competition, (x) changes in laws and regulations, including monetary convergence and the European Monetary Union, (xi) changes in the policies of central banks and/or foreign governments, (xii) the impact of acquisitions, including related integration issues, (xiii) reorganization measures and (xiv) general competitive factors, in each case on a local, regional, national and/or global basis. Many of these factors may be more likely to occur, or more pronounced, as a result of terrorist activities and their consequences. The company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained herein.

The previous analysis is based on our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with those statements. We evaluate the results of our Property-Casualty, Life/Health, Banking, Asset Management and Corporate segments using a financial performance measure we refer to herein as “operating profit”. We define our segment operating profit as income before income taxes and minority interests in earnings, excluding, as applicable for each respective segment, all or some of the following items: income from financial assets and liabilities held for trading (net), realized gains/losses (net), impairments of investments (net), amortization of intangible assets, acquisition-related expenses and restructuring charges.

While these excluded items are significant components in understanding and assessing our consolidated financial performance, we believe that the presentation of operating results enhances the understanding and comparability of the performance of our segments by highlighting net income attributable to ongoing segment operations and the underlying profitability of our businesses. For example, we believe that trends in the underlying profitability of our segments can be more clearly identified without the fluctuating effects of the realized gains/losses or impairments of investments, as these are largely dependent on market cycles or issuer specific events over which we have little or no control, and can and do vary, sometimes materially, across periods. Further, the timing of sales that would result in such gains or losses is largely at our discretion. Operating profit is not a substitute for income before income taxes and minority interests in earnings or net income as determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (or “IFRS”). Our definition of operating profit may differ from similar measures used by other companies, and may change over time. For further information on operating profit, as well as the particular reconciling items between operating profit and net income, see Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements.

In the previous analysis, we analyze the Allianz Group’s consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 (or “1Q 2006”) as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2005 (or “1Q 2005”), using operating profit and net income as the relevant performance measures, as permitted under IFRS.

We further believe that an understanding of our total revenue performance is enhanced when the effects from foreign currency translation as well as acquisitions and disposals (or “changes in scope of consolidation”) are excluded. Accordingly, in addition to presenting “nominal growth”, “internal growth,” which excludes the effects from foreign currency translation and changes in scope of consolidation, is also provided. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of nominal total revenue growth to internal total revenue growth for each of our segments and the Allianz Group as a whole for 1Q 2006 as compared to 1Q 2005.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

1 Basis of presentation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted under European Union regulations in accordance with clause 315a of the German Commercial Code (“HGB”). Since 2002, the designation IFRS applies to the overall framework of all standards approved by the International Accounting Standards Board. Already approved standards continue to be cited as International Accounting Standards. For years through 2004, IFRS did not provide specific guidance concerning the reporting of insurance and reinsurance contracts. Therefore, as envisioned in the IFRS Framework, the provisions embodied under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been applied. The financial statements are presented in million Euros (€ mn).

2 Changes in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements

During 2005, the Allianz Group comprehensively reviewed its financial reporting methodology to improve the transparency of its financial results and ensure consistency with its peers. As a result of this review, the Allianz Group implemented numerous changes to its financial reporting that are effective on January 1, 2006. The Allianz Group’s financial reporting reflects reclassifications in the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement, changes to segment reporting, changes to operating profit methodology and changes to the cash flow statement.

Reclassifications

A significant portion of these changes to financial reporting resulted from the implementation of changes to the structure of the Allianz Group’s consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement. These changes were implemented to improve transparency and result in the following:

 

- The line items in the consolidated income statement include aggregations of items which are similarly aggregated as the line items utilized for determining operating profit.

 

- The line items in the consolidated income statement include aggregations of items that allow the Allianz Group’s key performance indicators to be directly derived from the Allianz Group’s external financial results.

 

- The line items in the consolidated income statement include aggregations of items which are based more on the nature rather than the function.

 

- The line items in the consolidated balance sheet include aggregations of items which are similarly aggregated as the line items in the consolidated income statement.

 

- The line items in the consolidated balance sheet are relatively displayed in a liquidity format as required by IAS 1.

As a result, the Allianz Group’s previously reported consolidated balance sheets and consolidated income statements were reclassified to ensure consistency and comparableness with the presentation as implemented on January 1, 2006. These reclassifications did not have an impact on the Allianz Group’s net income or shareholders’ equity for any previously reported period.

The key changes to the previous presentation in the Allianz Group’s consolidated balance sheets are:

 

- Financial assets and liabilities for unit linked contracts are presented as separate line items.

 

- Investments in associates and joint ventures have been reclassified to investments.

 

- Deferred acquisition costs, including present value of future profits and deferred sales inducements, are presented as a separate line item.

 

- Unearned premiums and reserves for loss and loss adjustment expenses are presented as separate line items.

 

- Financial liabilities for puttable equity instruments have been reclassified to other liabilities.

 

- Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented on a net basis to the extent the requirements of IAS 12 for offset are met.

The key changes to the previous presentation in the Allianz Group’s consolidated income statements are:

 

- Interest and similar income includes share of earnings from investments in associates and joint ventures.

 

- Realized gains and realized losses are presented net as a separate line item. Realized gains/losses (net) include realized gains and losses from disposals of associates and subsidiaries and loans and advances to banks and customers.

 

- Impairments and reversals of impairments are presented net as a separate line item. Impairments of investments (net) include impairments and reversals of impairments of investments in associates and joint ventures.

Segment Reporting

Effective January 1, 2006, the Allianz Group introduced a Corporate segment. The Corporate segment includes all group activities which are not allocated to a specific subsidiary. Further, the Corporate segment includes group funding and risk management activities, such as the senior bonds, subordinated bonds and money market securities issued or guaranteed by Allianz AG and the related derivative financial instruments held by Allianz AG or one of its subsidiaries. The activities included in the Corporate segment were previously reported in the Property-Casualty segment.

In addition, the Allianz Group reclassified its life and health reinsurance assumed business to the Life/Health segment. This business was previously reported in the Property-Casualty segment.

Finally, the Allianz Group changed the accounting for intra-Allianz Group dividends. Intra-Allianz Group dividends are now eliminated by the subsidiary receiving the dividend. Intra-Allianz Group dividends were previously eliminated within the segment if the dividend involved subsidiaries within the same segment or eliminated in the consolidation adjustments if the dividend involved subsidiaries in different segments.

The effects of all of these changes to segment reporting were implemented retrospectively; therefore, all previously reported segment balance sheets and segment income statements were reclassified to ensure consistency and comparableness with the presentation as implemented on January 1, 2006.

Operating Profit Methodology

As a result of the reclassifications and changes in segment reporting, as well as improving the consistency of external financial reporting with internal financial reporting, the methodology for defining operating profit was changed effective January 1, 2006. A summary of the key changes is as follows:

 

- Amortization of intangible assets and restructuring charges are non-operating items for all segments.

 

- Realized gains/losses (net) and impairments of investments (net) on participating policies are included in operating profit for the Property-Casualty segment.

 

- Realized gains/losses (net) and impairments of investments (net) are included in operating profit for the Life/Health segment, with the exception of strategic investments.

Summary of the impact of the changes to operating profit by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2005:

Cash Flow Statement

As a result of the reclassifications to the consolidated balance sheet and consolidated income statement discussed above, the Allianz Group made corresponding reclassifications to the consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, the Allianz Group reclassified the following line items from operating activities to investing or financing activities in order to consistently present changes in interest bearing assets and liabilities:

 

- Loans and advances to banks and customers are reclassified to investing activities.

 

- Liabilities to banks and customers are reclassified to financing activities.

 

- Aggregate policy reserves for universal-life type insurance and investment contracts are reclassified to financing activities.

 

- Certificated liabilities are reclassified to financing activities.
