MWN-AI** Summary

SCOR SE reported robust financial results for the third quarter of 2025, achieving a net income of €217 million, marking a significant contribution to a nine-month net income total of €642 million. The group's strong performance was driven by various business activities, highlighted by an adjusted net income of €211 million.

In the Life & Health (L&H) division, the insurance service result reached €98 million, aligning year-to-date variances with expectations.

Chairman Fabrice Brégier and CEO Thierry Léger underscored SCOR’s disciplined underwriting and strategic expansion into profitable lines as crucial to these favorable results.

Overall, these results indicate a strong financial performance, positioning the company favorably for future growth in the competitive reinsurance landscape.

MWN-AI** Analysis

SCOR SE's third quarter 2025 earnings report reveals a robust financial performance, evidenced by a net income of €217 million, contributing to a strong nine-month total of €642 million. The company's property and casualty (P&C) segment demonstrated resilience with an impressive combined ratio of 80.9%, indicating effective cost management and prudent underwriting practices amidst low natural catastrophe activity.

The P&C segment's growth, with insurance revenue stabilizing despite a decrease in gross written premiums, reflects SCOR’s strategic focus on profiting from diverse lines of business. Additionally, the life and health (L&H) insurance service result of €98 million aligns with expectations, underscoring management's execution of its "Forward 2026" plan.

Investors should note SCOR's annualized return on equity (RoE) of 22.1% for Q3, showcasing the company's significant profitability compared to previous quarters. The estimated solvency ratio of 210% places SCOR in a solid position within the optimal range, further indicating financial stability and operational strength.

Significant developments in the investment arm, with a regular income yield maintained at 3.5%, should be viewed cautiously. While the yield remains stable, a decline in the return on invested assets to 3.3% suggests potential headwinds in the current economic climate. Continual monitoring of reinvestment rates and asset allocation will be essential for future growth.

Given SCOR's solid financial standing, prudent capital management, and ongoing strategies aimed at enhancing growth, this stock remains a viable option for investors seeking exposure to the reinsurance market. However, potential risks, such as market volatility and regulatory changes, should also be considered. Overall, maintaining a balanced view, prioritizing risk management, and leveraging SCOR's strengths can offer investors a valuable opportunity in the evolving insurance landscape.

SCOR SE’s Board of Directors met on 30 October 2025, under the chairmanship of Fabrice Brégier, to approve the Group’s Q3 2025 financial statements.

Thierry Léger, Chief Executive Officer of SCOR, comments : “SCOR achieves a strong quarter delivering an annualized RoE of 22.1% in Q3 2025. The excellent combined ratio in P&C reflects our disciplined underwriting and successful strategy to grow into profitable and diversifying lines of business, combined with low natural catastrophe activity during the quarter. In line with our opportunistic buffer building strategy, SCOR has already been able to add an amount of prudence comparable to that built in FY 2024. L&H is on track to deliver on its updated Forward 2026 ISR target, underpinned by solid CSM amortization and a neutral experience variance. Investments continue to deliver stable and strong results. Looking ahead to the 1.1 renewals and beyond, SCOR will continue to leverage its Tier 1 franchise and to execute on its Forward 2026 plan in a disciplined way.”

Group performance and context

SCOR records EUR 217 million net income (EUR 211 million adjusted 1 ) in Q3 2025, driven by all business activities:

  • In P&C, the combined ratio stands at 80.9% in Q3 2025, including a natural catastrophe ratio of 2.7%, reflecting a quarter of low natural catastrophe activity. Over the first nine months of 2025, the natural catastrophe ratio of 6.4% remains below budget despite the LA wildfire impact in Q1 2025. Although the attritional loss ratio was impacted by man-made losses, SCOR was able to continue with its buffer building strategy in Q3.
  • In L&H, the insurance service result 2 stands at EUR 98 million in Q3 2025, driven by a strong CSM amortization and a risk adjustment release, despite an impact from onerous contracts. On a 9M basis, the insurance result and experience variance are in line with expectations.
  • In Investments, SCOR benefits from still-elevated reinvestment rates in Q3 2025 and records a regular income yield of 3.5%.
  • The effective tax rate stands at 22.9% for Q3 2025, driven by the ongoing improved profitability of reinsurance activities under the French tax perimeter.

Over the first nine months of 2025, SCOR reports a net income of EUR 642 million (EUR 631 million adjusted 1 ), implying an annualized Return on Equity of 19.9% (19.5% adjusted 1 ).

The Group solvency ratio is estimated at 210% at the end of Q3 2025, in the upper part of the optimal range of 185%-220%, and stable compared to FY 2024 and H1 2025. The stable Group solvency ratio in Q3 reflects limited net capital generation in the absence of any significant P&C treaty reinsurance renewals, as well as the accrual of the FY dividend and neutral market variance over the quarter.

Group Economic Value 3 under IFRS 17 stands at EUR 8.5 billion as at 30 September 2025, up +12.7% 4 at constant economics compared with 31 December 2024.

Strong P&C underlying performance

In Q3 2025, P&C insurance revenue stands at EUR 1,813 million, up +3.1% at constant exchange rates (down -1.6% at current exchange rates) compared to Q3 2024. Both Reinsurance and SBS experience growth in the quarter, notably from Alternative Solutions and Specialty Lines.

New business CSM in Q3 2025 stands at EUR 170 million, down -3.2% at current exchange rates compared to Q3 2024, mainly driven by an unfavorable foreign exchange effect.
