In the fourth quarter of 2020, operating revenues grew by 3.4 percent to 2.1 billion euros, as a result of higher AuM-driven revenues. Given this increase in operating revenues and the fact that operating expenses decreased, the cost-income ratio went down to 58.7 (62.7) percent. Operating profit rose by 14.2 percent to 857 (750) million euros. Adjusted for foreign currency translation effects, operating profit increased by 20.7 percent. Third-party assets under management increased by 42 billion euros compared to the end of the third quarter of 2020: positive market effects of 61.6 billion euros and third-party net inflows of 27.7 billion euros were partly offset by negative effects from foreign currency translation of 47.7 billion euros. =-------------------------------- ^[1] Excluding the application of transitional measures for technical provisions. ^[2] Including the application of transitional measures for technical provisions, the Solvency II capitalization ratio amounted to 240 percent at the end of 2020 (224 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2020). ^[3] PVNBP is shown after non-controlling interests, unless otherwise stated. =----------------------------------------- ???????
