There are some signs that premiums are no longer falling but we have yet to see firm evidence of an inflection point and a return to premium growth

Chief executive Henry Engelhardt

Chief executive Henry Engelhardt said: “There are some signs that premiums are no longer falling but we have yet to see firm evidence of an inflection point and a return to premium growth.” 

The cost of car insurance has fallen over the past three years due to heightened competition with new price-comparison entrants driving down prices. 

Half year pre-tax profits at Admiral, which has 4 million customers, fell 1 per cent to £183million on revenues down 5 per cent at £1.04billion. It added 130,000 new customers in the year. The shares fell 79p to 1371p.
