Swiss insurer Zurich Financial Services AG on Thursday reported a 51% decline in second-quarter net profit, on lower revenue, costs for weather-disaster claims and the U.S. oil spill, and a charge for its U.K. property-lending portfolio.
The company, one of Europe's larger primary insurers by premium income, said net profit fell to $707 million in the three months to June 30 from $1.43 billion a year earlier. Revenue was $9.54 billion, down 47% from $17.97 billion.
Operating profit was around $1.03 billion, about 31% below the $1.49 billion reported a year earlier.
