Union Insurance Takes Further Measures to Strengthen Its Financial Position

In line with the company's efforts to strengthen its financial position, Union Insurance has decided to offset accumulated losses by reducing its capital from AED 330 million to AED 230 million. This measure is currently being implemented with the relevant authorities. The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange announced yesterday that the trading company's shares has been suspended in connection with this matter. Trading is scheduled to resume on Monday, June 30, 2025.

It is worth noting that after this reduction, the company will continue to maintain a capital that is more than double the minimum required for insurance companies, according to Central Bank regulations. Furthermore, company’s solvency and liquidity continue to be strong and recently solvency reached 144%, according to the company's latest disclosure. The reduction will strengthen the company’s financial position, and ability to compete in the insurance market.

Union Insurance Company has reported a significant improvement in its financial results, achieving net profits of AED 38.3 million in 2024, compared to a loss of AED 2.5 million in 2023. The announced results for the first quarter also reflect a positive indication of the company's continued success.

Mr. Ramez Abou Zaid, Chief Executive Officer of Union Insurance Company, expressed his optimism about the company's positive results for 2025, reflecting its continued success and progress.

The company decided to appoint Fitch Ratings as its designated financial rating agency, and the former rating agency is likely to issue a final statement on the company in the near future.

Fitch assigned the company its first-ever Financial Strength Rating (IFS) of "BBB" with a positive outlook, reflecting the strength of Union Insurance's balance sheet, the efficiency of its operational performance, and its reinsurance support.
