FBD is an Irish insurer providing car, home, business, and farm insurance. FBD Insurance began in the 1960s, founded by farmers to serve the needs of the farming community.
For the half year ended 30 June 2025, the insurer reported an 11% year-on-year increase in insurance revenue to €235m. This growth reflects continued strength across its core lines of business, achieved despite a challenging operating environment.
Severe weather events drove higher claims costs. Repair and replacement expenses for motor and home insurance also rose. The company faced broader cost pressures and market volatility while continuing to operate under standard regulatory and risk management requirements.
The group delivered a positive investment portfolio return of 1.9%, equivalent to €21m. The Income Statement recognised €13m (1.2%), while Other Comprehensive Income recorded a further €8m (0.7%). This highlights a balanced contribution from both operating and market-related performance.
Commenting on these results, Tomás Ó Midheach, Group Chief Executive, said, “We are grateful for the ongoing loyalty and connection to our customers, which is central to everything we do at FBD.
We welcome the recent publication of the Government’s Action Plan for Insurance Reform 2025 – 2029. Building on our support for the first action plan, we remain committed to this next phase and will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to help deliver progress on key priorities.”
