In the 2013 financial year, the UNIQA Insurance Group (UNIQA) increased its
preliminary profit on ordinary activities (EBT) by 49.7 per cent to 305.6
million euros (2012: 204.2 million euros). Consolidated net profit (after taxes
and minority interests) increased by 123.0 per cent to 283.4 million euros
(2012: 127.1 million euros). Based on these figures, the Management Board will
propose to the Supervisory Board and the Annual General Meeting the distribution
of a dividend of 35 cents per share for the 2013 financial year (2012: 25
cents).
 
For 2014, the UNIQA Group has set itself the target of significantly increasing
its profit on ordinary activities once again. This will require a stable capital
market environment, a further improvement in the economic environment and that
losses caused by natural disasters remain within a normal range.
