“The Group has made a strong start to the year and remained on track with its strategy and financial plans in the first quarter,” said Group Chief Financial Officer George Quinn. “During the quarter, the Group has taken full advantage of the hard pricing conditions in the commercial business to deliver strong growth and further improvements in the underlying underwriting performance of the P&C business. In Life, the Group’s focus on growing higher-margin products, rather than simply increasing volume, has continued to support the performance of the business, while the Farmers Exchanges returned to growth even before the addition of the MetLife P&C business at the start of the second quarter. These trends, together with our very strong balance sheet, allow us to look forward to the remainder of the year with great confidence.”
