Aviva acquired AIG's UK protection operations in April 2024. As suchthose protection sales are not in the base, but in the 1Q25 data. Bulk annuity sales were similarto those in 1Q24 at c.£1.3bn; bulk deals tend to be heavily weighted towards 2H. The high rateenvironment drove individual annuity sales up by 32%, potentially creating a demanding base,albeit one that will amortise into earnings for the next decade and support the dividend.Solvency - Lower due to dividend; net impact of debt changes broadly neutral: TheSolvency ratio came to 201% (FY24: 203%; 1Q25e: 200%). 1Q25 included the impact of the finaldividend of c.£640m declared in 1Q25 (c.-8ppts), the tender of GBP450m of preference shares(c.5.5ppts). This wasoffsetby theofferof GBP500m of RT1 debt announced on 27 March, andoperating capital generation. The impact of macro drivers was not meaningful, with UK gilts up11bps (suggesting +1ppt on the Solvency II ratio), and UK credit spreads widening by 12bps(suggesting +1%).Acquisition of Direct Line – on track: CEO Amanda Blanc stated that the acquisition remains“firmly on track”, and is expected to complete in the middle of the year, as previously stated.FIGURE 1.
