Aviva plc 2022 interim results announcement
- Continuing momentum with strong first half results demonstrating benefits of diversified business model
- Confident outlook for 2022 despite challenging market backdrop
- Further capital returns – anticipate launching share buyback with our full year 2022 results
Amanda Blanc, Group Chief Executive Officer (pictured), said:
"Sales are up, operating profit is higher, our financial position is stronger. This has been an excellent six months for Aviva.
Our scale and diversification give us resilience and opportunity, enabling Aviva to withstand the challenging economic climate. Our market leading positions and our unique ability to look after a wide range of customers' needs are clear advantages and have driven robust operating performance. Trading has been encouraging across all our major businesses in insurance, wealth and retirement.
Even so, we are very conscious of the pressures currently facing many of our customers, especially the more vulnerable. In response we have launched new, low cost, insurance products, and we are increasing the range and amount of support we provide to communities, businesses and our own people during this challenging time.
Delivering for our shareholders is at the core of our strategy. Our liquidity and capital position is extremely healthy and we are declaring an interim dividend of 10.3p, in line with our full year 2022 dividend guidance of c.31.0p. We are increasingly confident in Aviva's prospects and anticipate commencing additional returns of capital to shareholders with our 2022 full year results.”
