Aegon, the parent company of World Financial Group (WFG), reported its financial results for the first six months of 2026. Net revenue was $709 million, up from $707 million in the first half of 2025. Operating results improved by 9% year-over-year, which the company believes reflects “strong commercial momentum and favorable financial markets.” The company is now on track to meet or exceed all of its group financial ambitions for 2026.
“In the first half of 2026, operating result increased by 9% to EUR 804 million and operating capital generation grew by 27% to EUR 416 million, enabling EUR 392 million in free cash flow,” said Lard Friese, Aegon CEO. “We also conducted our annual assumptions review, mostly to adjust for changing policyholder behavior observed in recent periods. Our performance in the first half reflects the dedication of our people, the momentum in our strategy, and our disciplined capital management. We are announcing an interim dividend of 21 eurocents per share, up 11% versus the prior year period. Supported by our strong capital position and confidence in the outlook for our businesses, we are also increasing our recently announced share buyback program by EUR 150 million to EUR 350 million. Our businesses are well capitalized and we are on track to meet or exceed our Group financial ambitions for 2026.”
