Everest Insurance International Europe head and senior vice-president Véronique Brionne said: “Italy is among Europe’s largest economies, and a key market as we continue to scale throughout the continent.

“We are bringing Everest’s value proposition, including dedicated local expertise, tailored risk solutions and best-in-class service, to meet the evolving needs of businesses in the region.”

Everest’s expansion into Italy comes on the heels of strong financial performance for the third quarter of 2024 (Q3 2024), with underwriting income reaching $272m, primarily driven by strong performance in its reinsurance division despite significant catastrophe losses.

The group posted a net income of $509m and an operating income of $630m for the quarter.

These figures compare with $678m in net income and $613m in operating income during the same period in 2023, reflecting a slight year-over-year decline.

Gross written premium rose marginally by 0.6% to $4.4bn, supported by a 1.7% increase in the reinsurance segment.

This growth was partially offset by a 2.1% decline in the insurance segment, highlighting mixed performance across its business lines.
