Admiral Group (LSE:ADM) has posted a strong first-half performance for 2025, recording a 69% year-on-year increase in pre-tax profit from continuing operations, which climbed to £521 million. Customer numbers grew by 10%, largely fuelled by gains in the UK insurance market, particularly within the motor and household segments. While the company experienced a modest decline in European policyholders, its disciplined approach to pricing and its focus on service quality supported a notable boost in profitability.
The insurer also confirmed the planned divestment of its US motor insurance subsidiary, Elephant, to J.C. Flowers & Co., with the transaction expected to be finalised in the fourth quarter of 2025. Reflecting its strong financial results and ongoing commitment to rewarding shareholders, Admiral increased its interim dividend to 115.0 pence per share.
Admiral’s record-breaking profitability, emphasis on technological innovation, and disciplined strategy underpin its strong market standing. While mixed technical signals and regulatory headwinds may pose challenges, the company’s overall outlook remains favourable.
