Note: This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures: operating earnings before tax and value of new business. The reconciliation of operating earnings before tax to the most comparable GAAP measure and an explanation for its use is provided on page 28. Value of new business is not based on IFRS, which are used to report AEGON’s quarterly statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for IFRS financial measures. On pages 23 and 24, a further breakdown is given and reference is made to the assumptions included in the Embedded Value disclosure document. AEGON believes the value of new business, together with the GAAP information, provides a meaningful measure for the investment community to evaluate AEGON’s business relative to the businesses of our peers.

CHAIRMAN’S OVERVIEW

“AEGON’s results for the first quarter of 2006 included a notable increase in the value of new business, providing further indication that our focus on growing our core lines of business profitably in our major and developing markets makes sense,” said AEGON Chairman Donald J. Shepard.

“The diversification of AEGON’s business, both in terms of products and geographical spread, resulted in a solid performance in our year-over-year results for the Group. The 12% growth in standardized new life sales, combined with a 18% increase in the value of new business compared to one-fourth of full year 2005, give us continued confidence in the long-term growth potential of our business.”

Mr. Shepard further emphasized that AEGON’s disclosure of value of new business results on a quarterly basis, beginning with the current first quarter of 2006, constitutes an important supplemental measurement of AEGON’s business development.

Commenting on other highlights of the quarter, Mr. Shepard remarked: “Distribution again fueled AEGON’s solid performance. In the Americas, the 16% increase in variable annuity sales was a result of strong sales across all of our distribution channels, supported by enhanced wholesaling capacity in the US. In the UK, we produced a 51% increase in new life sales over the same period last year, while AEGON’s IFA platform, Positive Solutions, achieved another record quarter with higher productivity of the sales force. New individual life sales sold through intermediaries in the Netherlands improved.

“The internal rate of return of 7.9% on products sold in the Netherlands remains below our hurdle rate, largely due to margin pressure in mortgage-related business and a change in interest rates. Standardized new life production in the Americas declined 11% from the year-ago quarter, with the majority of the decrease reflecting lower sales of BOLI/COLI business. In addition, there is some decrease in production from the Transamerica agency channel as there is dislocation occurring in the industry in the older age market. The internal rate of return in the Americas rose 100 basis points in the first quarter of this year to 12.3%.

“In Spain, we further strengthened our position in the important bank channel which continues to be the primary means for selling life insurance and pensions. The regulatory authorities have recently given final approval to AEGON’s joint ventures with Caja Navarra and Caja de Badajoz. With the completion of these agreements, AEGON’s products will be sold in approximately 1500 bank branches throughout Spain.

“We made good progress during the quarter in AEGON’s pension businesses internationally. Going forward, we will look to capture further growth in this expanding market, given demographics and our established expertise.

“Overall, AEGON experienced a good quarter with promising sales growth across our company while at the same time making progress in expanding sales and distribution within our developing markets. The strong increase in the value of new business for the AEGON Group further demonstrates our ongoing commitment to writing profitable business to ensure long-term value for all of our stakeholders.”

FIRST QUARTER 2006 GROUP HIGHLIGHTS

Value of new business

The value of new business for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to EUR 163 million. This is an increase of 18% compared to EUR 138 million for one-fourth of the full year 2005 value of new business. The internal rate of return on new business amounted to 14.7% compared to 12.4% for the full year 2005. The developing markets, outside the three major country units, accounted for 24% of total first quarter value of new business.

Sales

During the first quarter of 2006, new life sales increased 12% to EUR 686 million. New life sales in the Americas decreased 11%. The majority of the decrease reflects lower sales of BOLI/COLI business, where sales tend to occur in large amounts but not on a regular or predictable basis. In addition, there is some decrease in production from the Transamerica agency channel as there is dislocation occurring in the industry in the older age market. New life sales in the Netherlands increased 1%, reflecting growth in individual life sales, while group pension sales were lower. In the United Kingdom, new life sales increased 51% for the quarter, as a result of strong growth across all lines of business. In Taiwan, new life sales decreased 53% compared to the strong first quarter of last year, but increased 64% compared to the fourth quarter of 2005. AEGON Poland had its second consecutive record sales quarter, with new life sales increasing 19% compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, when the Poland business became part of the AEGON Group.

Sales of annuity and institutional guaranteed products in the Americas increased 32% compared to the first quarter of 2005. Total pension sales in the US increased 16% to USD 2,766 million. Variable annuity sales increased 16%, as a result of the introduction of an enhanced withdrawal benefit rider, increased wholesaling capacity and strong pension sales. As anticipated, sales of fixed annuities were lower and reflect AEGON’s pricing discipline and the challenging interest rate environment. Deposits in institutional guaranteed products increased 45% primarily due to medium term note funding agreements issued by the new Ireland platform when asset spreads widened during the quarter. Off balance sheet production decreased 8%, reflecting strong performance from the asset management operations in the UK and the pension business in the US, more than offset by lower institutional asset management sales in the US and fewer mandates in the Netherlands than in the comparable period.

Operating earnings before tax

Operating earnings before tax in the first quarter of 2006 increased 92% to EUR 827 million (and increased 82% at constant currency exchange rates), with increases in all three major country units. Operating earnings in the Americas were positively affected by business growth and the favorable financial markets environment, offset somewhat by lower spreads and higher mortality. The increase in operating earnings in the Netherlands mainly reflects the positive effect of a release of guarantee provisions for unit-linked business as a result of rising interest rates. In the United Kingdom, the increase in operating earnings before tax mainly reflects business growth and the positive effect of higher equity and bond markets. The decrease of operating earnings before tax in Other countries primarily reflects lower results in Taiwan and higher start-up losses due to investments in growth in China, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Net income

Net income decreased 7% to EUR 630 million (and decreased 11% at constant currency exchange rates) in the first quarter of 2006. Higher operating earnings were more than offset by lower net gains/losses on investments (see paragraph below) and lower other non-operating income. Lower other non-operating income

 

   LOGO    4 of 30


reflects the gain on the sale of the Spanish general insurance business last year. The effective tax rate decreased to 25% from 27% in the first quarter of 2005, reflecting higher tax exempt income and tax credits. Net income per share decreased 12% to EUR 0.38, reflecting lower net income and a higher average number of ordinary shares outstanding.

Non-operating income

Net gains/losses on investments (before tax) and impairment charges together amounted to a loss of EUR 26 million compared to a gain of EUR 297 million in the first quarter of 2005. Investment performance remained strong and the decline primarily reflects a negative fair value change in derivatives used for asset and liability management in the Netherlands and normal trading activity in the US in a higher interest rate environment. Together, other non-operating income/(charges) and share in profit/(loss) of associates amounted to EUR 44 million, mainly reflecting the book gain on the sale of Scottish Equitable International Luxembourg and the charges to AEGON UK policyholders related to taxes payable for the account of policyholders.

Commissions and expenses

Commissions and expenses increased 19% to EUR 1,589 million and increased 12% at constant currency exchange rates. This is mostly the result of a change in business mix, growth in the business, higher DPAC amortization and higher expenses related to stock appreciation rights plans due to the rising AEGON stock price during the quarter. The economic exposure of the share based payment programs is hedged by means of treasury shares, which are valued at cost.

Revenue generating investments

Total revenue generating investments amounted to EUR 359 billion at March 31, 2006, compared to EUR 358 billion at December 31, 2005.

Shareholders’ equity

Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2006 amounted to EUR 18.8 billion, a decrease of 2% compared to December 31, 2005. The increase from net income was more than offset by foreign currency translation effects and a decrease in revaluation reserves, reflecting higher interest rates.

THE AMERICAS (the AEGON USA companies and AEGON Canada)

 

¨

Value of new business amounted to USD 100 million, an increase of 18% compared to one-fourth of the full year 2005 value of new business.

 

¨

The internal rate of return on new business improved 100 basis points to 12.3%.

 

¨

Operating earnings before tax increased 28% to USD 672 million.

 

¨

Variable annuity sales increased 16% as “5 for Life With Growth” was favorably received.

 

¨

Total revenue generating investments amounted to USD 271 billion at March 31, 2006 an increase of 2% compared to year-end 2005.

Results

Operating earnings before tax increased 28% to USD 672 million. The increase in earnings was led by growth in the Reinsurance and Variable Annuity lines of business, coupled with favorable returns on hedge funds, limited partnership and convertible bond investments, all of which are carried at fair value.

Net income, which includes net gains/losses on investments and impairment charges, increased 14% to USD 485 million. Net gains on investments amounted to USD 7 million compared to USD 74 million in the first quarter of 2005 and reflect normal trading activity in the US in a higher interest rate environment. Impairments in the first quarter of this year resulted in a net charge of USD 3 million compared to a net recovery of USD 18 million in the first quarter of 2005. The effective tax rate of 28% compares to an effective tax rate of 31% in the first quarter of 2005.

Value of New Business

Value of new business amounted to USD 100 million for the first quarter of 2006 compared to USD 85 million for one-fourth of the full year 2005 value of new business. First quarter 2006 internal rate of return was 12.3%, up 100 basis points from 11.3% in the full year 2005. The increase in value of new business and IRR is due to higher sales in more profitable lines of business during the first quarter of 2006. Please refer to pages 24 and 25 for more detailed information on value of new business.

Traditional life / Life for account of policyholders

Standardized new life production for retail and BOLI/COLI products decreased 15% to USD 197 million compared to the first quarter of 2005. The majority of the decrease reflects lower sales of BOLI/COLI business, where sales tend to occur in large amounts but not on a regular or predictable basis. In addition, there is some decrease in production from the Transamerica agency channel as there is dislocation occurring in the industry in the older age market.

Operating earnings before tax for traditional life increased 9% to USD 156 million compared to the same period last year, despite somewhat unfavorable mortality claims in the quarter. The valuation of certain financial assets carried at fair value contributed USD 24 million to operating earnings before tax in the first quarter of 2006 compared to USD 5 million in the first quarter last year.

Operating earnings before tax from life for account of policyholders decreased USD 4 million to USD 26 million compared to the first quarter of 2005.

Fixed annuities

Fixed annuity new deposits of USD 480 million decreased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2005. Retail fixed annuity new deposits declined 11% reflecting increased competition with short-term bank products due to

 

   LOGO    7 of 30


the flat yield curve. However, new deposits in the pension channel increased 18% to USD 131 million. Fixed annuity account balances of USD 51.7 billion were USD 1.2 billion lower than year-end as new deposits were more than offset by higher withdrawals. The total decrement rate on the retail annuity segment continues to be within expectations and increased to 17% for the first quarter of 2006 compared to 16% in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Fixed annuity operating earnings before tax increased 78% to USD 128 million compared to the same period last year. This increase reflects a positive impact from total return annuities and fair value movements of certain financial assets, offset by modestly lower account balances. Fair value movements of certain financial assets contributed USD 38 million to operating earnings before tax, compared to USD 5 million in the first quarter of 2005. The contribution to operating earnings before tax from total return annuities amounted to a negative USD 6 million compared to a negative USD 43 million in the same period last year.

Product spreads on the largest segment of the fixed annuity book were 245 basis points on an IFRS pre-tax operating basis compared to 244 basis points in the fourth quarter of 2005. Product spreads in the first quarter include 41 basis points from the impact of valuation of certain financial assets carried at fair value compared to 33 basis points in the fourth quarter. On a normalized basis, the expected contribution to product spreads from the valuation of these assets is 15 basis points.

Institutional guaranteed products

Institutional guaranteed product sales amounted to USD 4.6 billion, an increase of 45% compared to the first quarter of 2005. The higher sales were primarily due to medium term note funding agreements issued by the new Ireland platform when asset spreads widened during the quarter. The balance of institutional guaranteed spread products increased to USD 35.2 billion compared to USD 32.9 billion at year-end 2005.

Institutional guaranteed products operating earnings before tax increased 14% to USD 96 million compared to the same period last year. The increase reflects the higher contribution from the valuation of certain financial assets carried at fair value, which amounted to USD 40 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to USD 7 million in the first quarter of 2005. This was partially offset by the impact of decreased product spreads resulting from the rise in short term interest rates.

Variable annuities

Variable annuity new deposits of USD 1.8 billion increased 16% compared to the first quarter of 2005, with significant increases in both the retail (18%) and pension (14%) segments. A new retail product, “5 for Life with Growth”, was introduced in the first quarter and has been received favorably. Variable annuity balances of USD 50.3 billion increased 5% compared to year-end 2005.

Variable annuity operating earnings before tax of USD 99 million increased USD 60 million over the first quarter of 2005. This includes the impact of the valuation of Canadian segregated funds, which contributed USD 41 million to operating earnings before tax in the first quarter of 2006, compared to USD 5 million in the same period last year. The remaining increase of USD 24 million is primarily related to growth of the business from favorable equity markets and continued favorable persistency.

Fee – off balance sheet products

Off-balance sheet production was USD 4.3 billion, a 16% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2005. Institutional asset management sales decreased USD 1.3 billion compared to an extraordinarily strong first quarter of 2005. Retail mutual fund sales of USD 0.7 billion increased 47% compared to first quarter of 2005.

 

   LOGO    8 of 30


Synthetic GIC sales of USD 1.6 billion in the first quarter of 2006 were level compared to the same period last year. Off-balance sheet assets have increased 2% compared to year-end 2005 and now total USD 82.7 billion.

Operating earnings before tax from fee – off balance sheet products of USD 13 million were level compared to the same period in 2005.

Reinsurance

Reinsurance new life production of USD 75 million increased USD 2 million or 3% over the same period in 2005. The 2005 results included the completion of several in-force transactions. Excluding production of in-force transactions in 2005, life production increased USD 15 million due to continued strong international and domestic sales.

Reinsurance operating earnings before tax increased 74% to USD 66 million compared to the same period last year. The increase in earnings primarily reflects continued growth in this business and favorable mortality during the first quarter of 2006. In addition, earnings from the total return annuity product amounted to USD 15 million compared to USD 11 million in the first quarter of 2005.

Accident and health business

Accident and health premium revenue of USD 617 million increased 1% compared to the same period last year due to increased sales through sponsored programs along with premium rate increases on certain health products.

Accident and health operating earnings before tax decreased 15% to USD 88 million compared to the same period last year, and primarily reflects reserve strengthening on certain discontinued blocks.

Commissions and expenses

Commissions and operating expenses of USD 1,198 million increased 16% compared to the first quarter of 2005. Operating expenses of USD 483 million were up 13% compared to the same period last year. This increase includes the impact of a one-time expense accrual release of USD 13 million in the first quarter of 2005 and higher expenses related to stock appreciation rights plans of USD 12 million due to the rising AEGON stock price during the quarter.

Normalized return expectations for fair-valued assets in operating earnings

AEGON provides normalized return expectations for certain financial assets that are managed on a total return basis with no offsetting changes to the fair value of liabilities. Normalized annual earnings on these assets, as described in more detail below, are based on long-term expected returns in financial markets, but should not be used as an explicit forecast for the year as actual results can and will deviate from these expectations. These levels of normalized annualized earnings will be revisited and updated at the end of 2006.

These assets include certain hedge funds, real estate limited partnerships and convertible bonds, with assets totaling approximately USD 3.2 billion as of March 31, 2006. Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2006 include USD 130 million (USD 156 million before DPAC offsets) related to these asset classes, including fair valuation of assets of USD 118 million and cash income of USD 12 million. Based on current holdings and asset class returns consistent with long term historical experience, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8-10%, including fair valuation and cash income, before tax and DPAC offsets. The impact of the fair valuation of assets is notable in the traditional life, fixed annuity and institutional guaranteed products lines of business.

¨

Value of new business for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to EUR 9 million, compared to EUR 10 million for one-fourth of the full year 2005.

 

¨

The internal rate of return on new business amounted to 7.9%.

 

¨

New life sales increased by 1% to EUR 78 million, representing the best quarter in the last two years.

 

¨

Operating earnings before tax amounted to EUR 286 million, compared to EUR 36 million in the first quarter of 2005.

 

¨

Total revenue generating investments amounted to EUR 63.5 billion at March 31, 2006, an increase of 1% compared to year-end 2005 levels.

Results

Operating earnings before tax amounted to EUR 286 million in the first quarter of 2006, compared to EUR 36 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase in operating earnings in the Netherlands includes the positive effect of a EUR 205 million release of guarantee provisions for unit-linked business, whereas EUR 5 million was added to these provisions in the first quarter of 2005. The release of guarantee provisions reflects the effect of the increase in interest rates on the risk-neutral market valuation of these guarantees. The comparable period also included EUR 35 million in provisions for improvements of “Spaarkas” products. Technical results life and non-life decreased EUR 13 million due to higher mortality and higher claims in non-life. Certain financial assets that are carried at fair value with no offsetting changes in the fair value of liabilities contributed EUR 25 million to operating earnings before tax, compared to EUR 8 million in the first quarter of 2005. Derivatives carried at fair value with no offsetting changes in the fair value of liabilities contributed a negative EUR 4 million to operating earnings, compared to a negative of EUR 23 million in the comparable period.

Net income, which includes net gains/losses on investments, impairment charges and the share in profit of associates, increased 13% to EUR 198 million. Net gains/losses on investments (before tax) amounted to a negative EUR 70 million compared to a positive EUR 234 million in the first quarter of 2005. The gains and losses on investments (before tax) include a negative EUR 211 million from the decrease in market value of derivatives used for asset and liability management purposes.

Value of new business

The value of new business for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to EUR 9 million, compared to EUR 10 million for one-fourth of the full year 2005 value of new business. The internal rate of return (IRR) amounted to 7.9% compared to 9.2% for the full year 2005. The lower IRR and slight decrease in value of new business mainly reflect lower margins on mortgage-linked products and a change in interest rates. Please refer to pages 23 and 24 for more detailed information on value of new business.

Traditional life / Life for account of policyholders

New life sales increased 1% to EUR 78 million. The comparable period included EUR 2 million in sales of Moneymaxx Germany, which was divested in 2005. The comparable quarter last year included a number of large group pension cases, which did not recur to the same extent in the first quarter of 2006. This reflects the nature of the group business, where production tends to fluctuate from period to period due to the timing and size of contracts. The pipeline of new group pension products is promising, particularly for the second half of the year. Individual life sales through the intermediary channel showed a significant improvement. The number of intermediaries selling AEGON’s products has increased, and an increased number of existing intermediaries are offering a broader selection of AEGON products.

 

   LOGO    11 of 30


Operating earnings before tax for traditional life amounted to EUR 23 million, compared to EUR 11 million in the same period in 2005. The increase mainly reflects a higher contribution from assets carried at fair value with no offsetting changes in the fair value of liabilities.

Operating earnings before tax from life for account of policyholders amounted to EUR 242 million, compared to a loss of EUR 9 million in the first quarter of 2005. This reflects the release of provisions for guarantees and the absence in the first quarter of 2006 of provisions for “Spaarkas” products, partially offset by higher expenses and decreased technical results.

Fee – off balance sheet products

Off balance sheet product sales amounted to EUR 125 million compared to EUR 478 million in the first quarter of 2005. The comparable period included a number of large mandates.

Operating earnings before tax from fee business amounted to EUR 8 million, compared to EUR 9 million in the first quarter of 2005. Performance of TKP Pensions and AEGON Asset Management improved. Operating earnings from Meeùs were lower as investments were made in improving the quality of the organization to generate growth.

Non-life insurance

Accident and health premiums decreased 11% to EUR 85 million as a consequence of high lapse rates in the sickness benefits market due to new legislation. The successful product introduction related to the new disability system in the Netherlands as outlined in the WIA law, is expected to fully compensate the loss of premiums. Sales of the new WIA product developed favorably and represented half of all new non-life production in the first quarter of 2006. Accident and health operating earnings before tax were EUR 5 million compared to EUR 8 million in the first quarter of 2005, reflecting higher expenses related to investments made for the introduction of WIA.

General insurance premiums decreased 3% to EUR 139 million. General insurance operating earnings before tax amounted to EUR 4 million compared to EUR 10 million in the comparable period, mainly due to higher claims.

Banking activities

At the end of the first quarter of 2006, 825 Levensloop contracts were signed with employers, representing well over 500,000 employees. Currently there are 13,500 Levensloop accounts opened. In 2006, employees have until July to decide to open an account and save for this year. New Levensloop deposits, largely recurring, amounted to EUR 12 million in the first quarter. The pipeline of new contracts represents 800 large and middle-sized companies with another 500,000 employees.

Operating earnings before tax from banking activities amounted to EUR 4 million, compared to EUR 7 million in the first quarter of 2005. The decrease reflects primarily a maturing block of lease products partly offset by higher interest spreads.

Commissions and expenses

Commissions and expenses decreased 5% to EUR 285 million in the first quarter of 2006. Operating expenses amounted to EUR 192 million, 4% lower than in the first quarter of 2005. This is primarily due to the absence of provisions for “Spaarkas” products and other one-time effects. Excluding these effects, operating expenses were up by approximately 6%, due to the costs of additional external staffing and professional services.

Normalized return expectations for fair-valued assets in operating earnings

AEGON provides normalized return expectations for certain financial assets that are managed on a total return basis with no offsetting changes to the fair value of liabilities. Normalized annual earnings on these assets, as described in more detail below, are based on long-term expected returns in financial markets, but should not be used as an explicit forecast for the year as actual results can and will deviate from these expectations. These levels of normalized annualized earnings will be revisited and updated at the end of 2006.

These assets include an investment in a private equity fund and totaled EUR 235 million as of March 31, 2006. Operating earnings for the first quarter of 2006 include EUR 25 million related to these asset classes. Based on current holdings and asset class returns consistent with long term historical experience, the long-term expected return on an annual basis is 8% before tax. The impact of the fair valuation of assets is notable in the traditional life and life for account of policyholders lines of business.

¨

Value of new business amounted to GBP 22 million, an increase of 29% compared to one-fourth of the full year 2005 value of new business.

 

¨

The internal rate of return on new business remained relatively stable at 10.8%.

 

¨

New life sales increased 51% to GBP 217 million, as AEGON UK records its highest quarterly sales performance ever.

 

¨

Operating earnings before tax increased 12% to GBP 37 million, or 33% when excluding the effect of an incentive plan charge of GBP 7 million, related to the accelerated acquisition of the remaining 40% of Positive Solutions.

 

¨

Total revenue generating investments increased 2% to GBP 46.1 billion compared to year-end 2005 levels.

Results

Operating earnings before tax amounted to GBP 37 million compared to GBP 33 million in the first quarter of 2005. The increase mainly reflects business growth and the positive effect of higher equity and bond markets, partly offset by a GBP 7 million charge for the incentive plan for registered individuals and staff related to the accelerated acquisition of the remaining 40% of Positive Solutions. Excluding the effect of the incentive plan charge, operating earnings before tax increased 33%.

Net income, which includes net gains/losses on investments and impairment charges, increased 56% to GBP 39 million. Other non-operating income includes a gain of GBP 11 million related to the sale of the Luxembourg-based subsidiary Scottish Equitable International to La Mondiale Participations. In the consolidated earnings for the Group, 35% of this gain has been eliminated to reflect AEGON’s 35% share in La Mondiale Participations.

The effective shareholder tax rate decreased from 29% to 15%. This reflects the tax-free disposal gain on the Luxembourg subsidiary and a change in the sources of profits.

Value of new business

The value of new business for the first quarter of 2006 increased 29% to GBP 22 million compared to GBP 17 million for one-fourth of the full year 2005 value of new business. The IRR on new business remained relatively stable at 10.8%, compared to 11.0% for the full year 2005. The increase in value of new business reflects higher production and a more profitable mix of business. Please refer to pages 23 and 24 for more detailed information on value of new business.

New life sales in the first quarter of 2006 increased 51%. This is compared to the relatively weak sales in the first quarter of 2005, which was affected by certain pricing and commission changes. The increase compared to the corresponding first quarter represents a strong increase across all lines of business. Compared to the very strong fourth quarter of 2005, new life sales in the first quarter of 2006 increased 11% and represent the highest quarterly sales result ever.

Operating earnings before tax for traditional life amounted to GBP 2 million compared to GBP 1 million in the first quarter of 2005. Operating earnings before tax from life for account of policyholders was GBP 37 million, a 19% increase. This increase mainly reflects business growth and the impact of the higher equity and bond markets on fund related charges.

Fee – off balance sheet products

In asset management, the retail business in particular performed well, with the majority of sales coming from Bond funds, emphasizing the strength of AEGON’s fixed income offering. Total off balance sheet production amounted to GBP 303 million compared to GBP 80 million in the first quarter of 2005.

In the owned distribution businesses, Positive Solutions had another strong quarter generating its highest-ever quarterly income. The number of registered individuals (RIs) reached 1,400 at the end of the first quarter, an increase of around 100 RIs compared to the end of 2005, while average productivity remains high.

Operating earnings before tax from the fee business segment amounted to a negative GBP 2 million, compared to a positive contribution of GBP 1 million in the first quarter of 2005. The lower result was due to the charge of GBP 7 million for the incentive plan related to Positive Solutions.

Commissions and expenses

Commissions and expenses increased 25% to GBP 135 million including the GBP 7 million incentive cost related to Positive Solutions. Other factors affecting commissions and expenses include growth in the distribution businesses, leading to an increase of GBP 5 million in paid-out commissions, and growth in the individual protection business. Operating expenses increased by 12% to GBP 91 million, reflecting investment and growth in our businesses, including protection and annuities.

¨

Value of new business amounted to EUR 39 million, an increase of 11% compared to EUR 35 million for one quarter of the full year 2005.

 

¨

New life sales in the first quarter of 2006 decreased 28% to EUR 66 million.

 

¨

Operating earnings before tax amounted to EUR 8 million, compared to EUR 12 million in the first quarter of 2005.

 

¨

Total revenue generating investments increased 8% to EUR 5.8 billion compared to year-end 2005 levels.

Results

Operating earnings before tax in Other countries amounted to EUR 8 million compared to EUR 12 million in the first quarter of 2005. The decrease primarily reflects lower results in Taiwan and higher start-up losses due to investments in growth in China, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Net income, which includes net gains/losses on investments, amounted to EUR 20 million compared to EUR 177 million in the first quarter of 2005. The comparable period included a book gain on the sale of the Spanish non-life insurance activities for EUR 192 million before tax. AEGON’s share in the profit (and loss) of associates (after tax) amounted to EUR 5 million, compared to EUR 3 million in the first quarter 2005.

Value of new business

The value of new business coming from Other countries for the first quarter of 2006 amounted to EUR 39 million, compared to EUR 35 million for one quarter of the full year 2005 value of new business. Other countries accounted for 24% of total value of new business for the group. Asia accounted for 48% of value of new business coming from Other countries, with the remainder evenly split between Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Other European Countries. The internal rate of return (IRR) amounted to 20.5% for Asia, against 10.6% for the full year 2005. The improvement is driven by Taiwan, mainly due to re-pricing. For CEE, the IRR of 37.5% compares to 33.4% for the full year 2005. This reflects an improvement in Hungary due to expense and commission efficiency and updated mortality assumptions. Finally, the IRR for Other European Countries amounted to 18.5%. This compares to 17.5% for the full year 2005 and reflects an improvement at the Caja de Ahorros del Mediterráneo (CAM) partnership in Spain.

Please refer to pages 23 and 24 for more detailed information on value of new business.

Traditional life / Life for account of policyholders

New life sales in Taiwan in the first quarter of 2006 decreased 53% to NTD 1.6 billion (EUR 42 million), reflecting the high levels of sales through the broker channel in the comparable period. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, new life sales improved by 64%, mainly due to increased sales of traditional life and unit-linked products, with unit-linked products accounting for 36% of total new life sales. Total gross premiums increased 28% to NTD 6.0 billion (EUR 156 million) in the first quarter of 2006, mainly due to growth in recurring premiums of traditional life business.

In Hungary, new life sales declined 14% to HUF 961 billion (EUR 4 million). During the quarter, various products have been repositioned in order to increase sales through the independent network.

AEGON Poland had its second consecutive record sales quarter, with new life sales amounting to PLN 49 million (EUR 13 million). Compared to the fourth quarter of 2005, when the Poland business became part of the AEGON Group, new life sales increased 19%.

In Spain, new life sales increased 35% to EUR 5 million, reflecting growth in recurring premium sales. New premium production has been adversely affected by proposed changes in tax law, delaying the closing of several agreements on group policies.

The partnership with CAM saw a decrease of 27% in new life sales to EUR 46 million (100% basis), although sales increased by 10% compared to the fourth quarter of 2005 and remained in line with the business plan. Premium income for the partnership with CAM amounted to EUR 141 million. The partnership with CAM is not consolidated in AEGON’s accounts. AEGON includes its share in the results of the partnership in the line share in profit / (loss) of associates.

Total traditional life insurance operating earnings before tax from Other countries amounted to nil, compared to EUR 3 million in the first quarter of 2005. This reflects lower results in Taiwan, mainly due to adverse claims experience and lower surrender results caused by a higher persistency rate, as well as a gradual decline of the old traditional life portfolio in Hungary. Operating earnings from life for account of policyholders remained stable and amounted to EUR 2 million.

Fee - off balance sheet products

In Hungary, off balance sheet product sales amounted to HUF 25 billion (EUR 98 million). Sales in the pension fund business continued to grow, with the number of new members increasing by 55% to well over 14,000. Total pension fund membership amounted to 595,000 members at the end of March, 2006, an increase of 7%. Off balance sheet investments grew by 9% to HUF 307 billion (EUR 1,156 million) compared to the year-end 2005 level.

In Slovakia, the pension fund business continued to report strong growth. In the first quarter, 26,593 new pension fund members were registered, bringing the total to 81,790.

Total fee - off balance sheet operating earnings before tax from Other countries amounted to a negative EUR 2 million, against nil for the first quarter of 2005, reflecting higher start-up costs of the Slovakian pension business.

Non-life insurance

In Hungary, non-life premium income increased by 5% to HUF 8.8 billion (EUR 35 million) mainly as a result of increased household insurance sales. Non-life premiums in Spain, which only include health business, increased 3% to EUR 27 million.

Accident and health insurance operating earnings before tax in Other countries amounted to EUR 1 million compared to nil in the first quarter of 2005, while general insurance operating earnings before tax remained level at EUR 7 million.

Commissions and expenses

Commissions and expenses increased 40% to EUR 84 million mainly due to lower deferral of expenses in Taiwan following a change in business mix. Operating expenses increased 13% to EUR 34 million, mainly due to the inclusion of AEGON Poland.

Associates

REPORT OF THE HOLDING COMPANY

Capital and funding

Shareholders’ equity at March 31, 2006 amounted to EUR 18.8 billion, a decrease of EUR 0.4 billion or 2% compared to December 31, 2005. The positive impact of EUR 0.6 billion from net income was more than offset by negative foreign currency translation effects of EUR 0.4 million, and a decrease in revaluation reserves of EUR 0.5 billion, reflecting higher interest rates.

At March 31, 2006 shareholders’ equity represented 75% of the total capital base, comfortably within target levels. Group equity, which includes other equity instruments (such as perpetual capital securities) and minority interests, represented 89% of total capital. The capital leverage to total capital ratio of 11% was stable compared to year-end 2005.

Interest charges and other

Interest charges and other increased 25% to EUR 80 million in the first quarter 2006. Interest charges and other, excluding the impact of eliminations, increased by approximately EUR 9 million compared to the first quarter of 2005. This primarily reflects the impact of a strengthening of the US Dollar against the Euro.

Subsequent events

On April 24, AEGON received all necessary regulatory approvals for the acquisition of a 50% stake in Caja Navarra’s life insurance and pensions subsidiary, Seguros Navarra S.A. As announced on November 22, 2005, the partners have created a joint venture, which combines Caja Navarra’s significant customer reach through its banking network and AEGON’s expertise in life insurance and pensions.

On April 28, 2006 AEGON and Caja de Badajoz received the final authorization to establish a 50-50 life insurance joint venture, Caja Badajoz Vida, to sell life insurance, accident and pension products through the branch network of Caja de Badajoz.

On May 9, 2006, AEGON announced that the stock fraction for the 2005 final dividend has been determined at 1/63. The stock fraction is based on the average share price for the AEGON share on Euronext Amsterdam N.V. for the five trading days from May 3 up to and including May 9, 2006. The final dividend will be payable as from May 16, 2006.

VALUE OF NEW BUSINESS

Starting with the first quarter of 2006, AEGON is providing value of new business information on a quarterly basis. Value of new business represents the present value of the future distributable earnings on the block of business sold in the latest reporting period. Value of new business is calculated using beginning of year economic assumptions and assumptions outside of management control, and end of period operating assumptions. AEGON’s management believes that this information, in conjunction with other publicly disclosed financial information, can provide valuable additional information for investors and shareholders.

Value of new business should not be viewed as a substitute for AEGON’s primary financial statements. The methodology AEGON uses to calculate value of new business is consistent with European Embedded Value Principles and described in more detail in the 2005 Embedded Value disclosure document that is available on AEGON’s website: www.aegon.com.
