Financial Figures/Balance Sheet

Preliminary results for 2013:
UNIQA records significant growth in premiums and earnings

* Premiums written increase by 6.2 per cent to 5,885.5 million euros
* Profit on ordinary activities (EBT) rises by 49.7 per cent to 305.6
million euros
* Consolidated net profit up 123.0 per cent to 283.4 million euros
* Net combined ratio improves from 101.3 per cent to 99.9 per cent
* Return on equity (ROE) increases from 8.7 per cent to 11.8 per cent
* Dividend proposal raised to 35 cents per share (2012: 25 cents)

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.
