With just a few months to go before the completion of its Smile26 business plan, the Malakoff Humanis Group is reporting results that are ahead of target.
Over the course of four years, the Malakoff Humanis Group has successfully overcome numerous challenges and exceeded the targets set out in its 2023-2026 business plan :
- Average annual revenue growth of 10% between 2022 and 2025, underpinned by a balanced diversification of activities at end-2025, comprising health (50%), protection (32%) and savings (18%).
- Strong operating performance, with a combined ratio improving by 3 points over the period (100.1% at end-2025 versus a Smile26 target of <101%), reflecting strong control over technical balances and costs in the health and protection business lines. This ensured a consolidated payout rate of over 84% in health and an annual net income of more than €200 million (compared with the Smile26 target of >€180 million) over the period.
- This financial solidity was reinforced by a +24 points improvement in the solvency ratio (from 246% to 270% at end-2025, against a Smile26 target of >200%); and this was achieved even while carrying out several mergers and acquisitions. Equity at end-2025 stood at €11.3 billion, an increase of +€3.1 billion over the period.
- These solid, sustainable performance figures, exceeding targets, have been recognised by the Ecovadis rating (top 2% of the most environmentally responsible companies), the Top Employer certification over the last three years, and the A+ rating awarded to the Group since 2022 (by S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings).
Revenue up 19% in the first half of 2026, driven by all of the Group's business lines
Highlights for the first half of 2026 :
- Revenue growth across all of the Group's business lines.
- A very solid Solvency II ratio of 272% as at 30 June 2026 (up +2 points compared with 31 December 2025).
- S&P Global Ratings maintained its A+ rating, with a stable outlook.
“The first half of 2026 confirmed Malakoff Humanis's momentum across all our business lines, with results exceeding the targets set out in the Smile 26 plan” said Thomas Saunier, Chief Executive Officer of Malakoff Humanis. “The solidity of our financial indicators enables us to maintain our payout commitments at a high level for the benefit of our customers on a long-term basis, while stepping up our social and societal initiatives. In July, the confirmation of our A+ rating with a stable outlook by S&P Global Ratings underscores the strength of our solidarity-based and mutualist model and the dedication of our teams to our social protection mission.”

In health and protection, positive momentum across all customer segments, from very small enterprises to major corporate clients
Health
Health, with revenue of €2.20 billion (+6%), enjoyed strong performance driven by customer loyalty within the individual health portfolio, solid growth in group contracts and the appeal of its product range, while keeping management costs under control and maintaining a high payout rate.
Protection
Protection saw accelerating growth, with revenue of €1.35 billion (+3%) while maintaining a carefully controlled underwriting policy. Furthermore, this growth was supported by the enhancement of solutions tailored to businesses and professionals, coupled with management innovations designed to simplify the customer experience and provide ever more effective customer support.
Very strong growth in savings
In savings, the business momentum was particularly strong, with gross inflows of
€1.29 billion, up 93% compared with 30 June 2025 (i.e. +42% at constant scope[1]). This performance reflects the appeal of the Group's savings products, stemming from its ability to balance security, returns and payout, while maintaining a competitive fee structure. It also illustrates savers' confidence in the Malakoff Humanis Group's solidarity-based and mutualist model.
Solvency and rating reflecting the Group's financial solidity
The solvency ratio as of 30 June 2026 stood at 272%, up 2 points compared with
31 December 2025 – a level well above the Smile plan's minimum target of 200% and the market average2. Furthermore, in July, for the fifth year in a row, S&P Global Ratings maintained Malakoff Humanis's financial strength rating at A+, with a stable outlook. This decision reflects the Group's financial solidity, the quality of its business model and its ability to maintain its growth trajectory in a challenging environment.
