August 14, 2025 (TORONTO, ON) – Insurer Aviva plc reported its half-year 2025 results today. Nav Dhillon, CEO of Aviva Canada had this to say about the Canadian performance: 

“For HY25, Aviva Canada continued its track record of delivering consistently strong results, achieving a Combined Operating Ratio (COR*) of 94.7% despite the impact of multiple severe weather-related events. Gross written premium growth* of 4% was mainly due to strong rate and volume growth in personal lines. 

Today’s results demonstrate the strength  of our business, the disciplined focus we maintain on core fundamentals, and the hard work of our people. 

From severe weather events to broader economic uncertainty, the first half of the year has tested many Canadians, communities and businesses. I’m incredibly proud of how our teams show up every day to deliver for our customers, brokers and partners. 

We’ll continue to build a business we are proud of, one that puts the customer at the heart of every decision, whilst investing in the capabilities that enhance the experience for brokers, partners, customers and our people. ”
