| Multi-year performance track record + Confidence in 3-year targets + Sustaining strong EPS growth beyond 2028 | - Delivering on Direct Line integration - Unrivalled customer reach - Significant scale & AI opportunity - Material capital-light growth platforms - High-quality & diversified earnings growth |
Aviva’s results in the first half of 2026 were very strong, with operating profit up 24% to £1.3 billion. We have now achieved six consecutive years of excellent financial performance, with much more to come. We also continue to deliver for our shareholders and today we have increased the interim dividend by +7% to 14.0 pence per share.
“We are making very good progress with the integration of Direct Line. We have quickly improved Direct Line’s profitability, grown price comparison website sales, and maintained excellent levels of customer service. We are well on track to deliver all the financial benefits of the acquisition.
“We are confident that we will meet our three-year financial targets in 2028 and expect 75% of our earnings to be capital-light by that point. Beyond this, Aviva is in a great position to sustain strong earnings growth over the longer term, particularly in the high growth areas of Wealth, UK and Canada General Insurance, Global Corporate and Specialty, and Health and Protection.
“Our broad and now expanded range of products, 25 million strong customer base, market leading brand, and the rich and extensive data we have, are major competitive advantages which will drive our future growth. Together they represent a significant opportunity for Aviva to apply artificial intelligence to deliver an even better service to customers, meet more of our customers’ needs over their lifetime, and drive even more value for our shareholders. Aviva’s long-term prospects are very bright indeed.
