Net Insurance Premiums Exceed Rs1 Billion
Asia Insurance recorded net insurance premiums of Rs1.015 billion for the nine months ended September 2026, compared with Rs776.87 million in the same period of 2025. This represents an increase of approximately 30.7%, reflecting growth in its insurance business.

Window Takaful Operations Deliver Mixed Results
Asia Insurance’s window takaful operations also recorded notable changes during the reporting period.
The Participants’ Takaful Fund generated a surplus of Rs63.11 million for the nine months ended September 2026, compared with a deficit of Rs17.72 million in the corresponding period of 2025. Net underwriting income increased to Rs98.93 million from Rs46.93 million.
The Operators’ Fund reported a profit of Rs31.12 million, compared with Rs36.88 million a year earlier. Its operating results improved to Rs32.02 million from Rs20.55 million, although investment income declined substantially.
These results indicate improved performance in the Participants’ Takaful Fund, while the Operators’ Fund experienced lower overall profitability.
Cash Flow and Financial Position
Asia Insurance generated net cash flow of Rs102.61 million from operating activities during the nine-month period, compared with an outflow of Rs14.31 million in the same period last year.
However, investing activities used Rs115.66 million, while financing activities recorded an outflow of Rs22.65 million. Consequently, cash and cash equivalents decreased to Rs42.01 million at September 30, 2026, from Rs77.71 million at the beginning of the period.
Outlook
Asia Insurance’s latest financial results highlight strong growth in net insurance premiums and a significant improvement in underwriting performance. However, lower investment income, higher management expenses and increased claims weighed on overall profitability.
The company’s ability to sustain premium growth, manage claims and control operating costs will remain important factors in its financial performance in the coming periods.
