In March 2026, Philippe Donnet discussed Generali's 2025 financial results, describing them as "record figures" in operating and adjusted net results. He stated that gross written premiums increased steadily and highlighted strong performance in property and casualty insurance and life net inflows. Donnet attributed the results to the "Lifetime Partner 27: Driving Excellence" strategic plan and noted progress in three areas: people, artificial intelligence and data, and sustainability. He said the company proposed a dividend of 1.64 euros per share and a 500 million euro share buyback, which he described as proof of a commitment to increasing shareholder returns. In a May 2022 parliamentary hearing on the banking and financial system, Donnet addressed questions about Generali's governance and Italian identity. He stated that Generali is the insurance leader in Europe and that this is a strength, not a weakness. He also said that threats to Generali's independence and Italian character have historically come from within Italy, not from outside the country.
