Commenting on the financial results for Q1, chief executive Charles Brindamour (pictured) said: “We delivered strong results again this quarter with contribution from all segments, resulting in mid-teens ROE (return on equity) and solid book value growth.

“We also continued to make good progress on the integration of DLG (Direct Line Group), closed the sale of our UK direct personal lines operations, and advanced on all other aspects of our strategic roadmap.

“With our strong balance sheet and business fundamentals, we are on course to grow net operating income per share by 10% per year over time and outperform the industry ROE by at least 500 basis points.”

According to the insurance group, its total capital margin at the end of the quarter amounted to CA$2.7 billion. Meanwhile, its board approved the quarterly dividend of CA$1.21 per share on the company’s outstanding common shares.
