AIA’s net profit surges 47.2% YoY in H1 2024

EPS stood at $0.30.

In the first six months of the year (H1 2024), AIA Group’s net profit bagged $3.3m, this was up 47.2% on a year-on-year (YoY) basis. Whilst higher insurance revenue was spotted, this was offset by higher insurance service expenses.

The company’s value of new business (VONB) reached a record high of $2.5b, a 25% YoY increase. Sales of annualised new premiums (ANP) rose by 17% YoY to $4.6b, whilst VONB margin improved by 3.3 percentage points to 53.9%.

The company returned $3.4b to shareholders through dividends and share buy-backs in the first half of 2024, with an additional $2.0b added to its share buy-back program, bringing the total to $12.0b.

Earnings per share stood at $0.30 during the period, up 57.9% YoY. Whilst, an interim dividend of 44.50 Hong Kong cents per share was declared, up 5.2%.

Meanwhile, AIA Singapore reported a 27% YoY growth in VONB, driven by strong performances across all distribution channels.

ANP increased by 57% YoY to $417m, whilst the VONB margin decreased by 12.6 percentage points to 52.4%, reflecting a shift towards lower-margin, long-term savings products.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
