Our capital structure consists not only of equity

Use of hybrids, securitisations etc. lowers cost of capital and levers RoE

  • Equity capital is by far the most expensive form of capital. Therefore, we make optimal use of equity substitutes:
    • Conventional reinsurance/retrocession on an opportunistic basis (i. e. use of other reinsurers' capital)
    • Alternative capital market transactions
    • Hybrid capital

Competitive advantage through low cost of capital (WACC)

Leverage ratios support HR's excellent ratings S&P's view on Hannover Re

EBITDA fixed charge coverage (x)1)

Source: Standard & Poor's rating report of Hannover Re as of 7 July 2021

1) Fixed charge coverage: EBITDA divided by sum of interest expenses and interest on operating lease (S&P definition)

2) Financial leverage: calculated as debt & hybrid capital, pension and operating lease commitments as of economic capital available (S&P definition)

Net risk appetite geared to the desired level with one of the largest retrocession programme in the market

1) Negative outlook

2) Credit watch with positive implications

Benefits of an above-average rating

Our cost of financing in the capital markets is lower

  • Hybrid bonds trade at tighter spreads
  • Better conditions for LoCs and credit lines

We create lower capital charges for our cedents

  • "AA" range S&P capital charge on reinsurance recoverables = 0.8% ("A" = 1.4%, BBB = 3.1%)
  • As an above-average rated R/I, we "minimise" our cedents' cost of capital

Capital adequacy ratio remains well above targets Increase in SCR driven by business growth and higher asset volumes

Development of the Solvency II ratio

Eligible Own Funds Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR)

1) Excluding minority shareholdings of EUR 680 m.

2) Minimum Target Ratio Limit 180%

  • Increase in eligible own funds due to issuance of new hybrid bond (EUR 750 m.) as well as positive economic impacts and strong operating result
  • SCR increased mainly as a result of business growth and higher asset volumes as well as stronger f/x rates compared to EUR
  • Increase in excess capital supports further business growth

Strong capital generation in line with overall business growth Increase in solvency ratio supported by issuance of new hybrid bond

Details on reserve review by WTW

  • The scope of WTW's work was to review certain parts of the held loss and loss adjustment expense reserve, net of outwards reinsurance, from Hannover Re Group's consolidated IFRS financial statements as at each 31 December 2021, and the implicit redundancy margin, for the non-life business of Hannover Re Group. WTW concludes that the reviewed loss and loss adjustment expense reserve, net of reinsurance, less the redundancy margin is reasonable in that it falls within WTW's range of reasonable estimates.
  • Life reinsurance and health reinsurance business are excluded from the scope of this review.
  • WTW's review of non-life reserves as at 31 December 2021 covered 98.6% / 99.7% of the gross and net held non-life reserves of €35.1 billion and €32.6 billion respectively. Together with life reserves of gross €5.7 billion and net €5.5 billion, the total balance sheet reserves amount to €40.8 billion gross and €38.1 billion net.
  • The results shown in this presentation are based on a series of assumptions as to the future. It should be recognised that actual future claim experience is likely to deviate, perhaps materially, from WTW's estimates. This is because the ultimate liability for claims will be affected by future external events; for example, the likelihood of claimants bringing suit, the size of judicial awards, changes in standards of liability, and the attitudes of claimants towards the settlement of their claims.
  • The results shown in WTW's reports are not intended to represent an opinion of market value and should not be interpreted in that manner. The reports do not purport to encompass all of the many factors that may bear upon a market value.
  • WTW's analysis is carried out based on data as at evaluation dates for each 31 December review; WTW has undertaken annual reviews since year-end 2009 onwards. WTW's analysis may not reflect developments or information that became available after the valuation dates and WTW's results, opinions and conclusions presented herein may be rendered inaccurate by developments after the valuation dates. Specifically, consequences of the Russia-Ukraine conflict are not reflected in our analyses and projections as at 31 December 2021.
  • As is typical for reinsurance companies, claims reporting can be delayed due to late notifications by some cedents. This increases the uncertainty in the estimates.
  • Hannover Rück SE has asbestos, environmental and other health hazard (APH) exposures which are subject to greater uncertainty than other general liability exposures. WTW's analysis of the APH exposures assumes that the reporting and handling of APH claims is consistent with industry benchmarks. However, there is wide variation in estimates based on these benchmarks. Thus, although Hannover Re Group's held reserves show some redundancy compared to the indications, the actual losses could prove to be significantly different to both the held and indicated amounts.
  • WTW has not anticipated any extraordinary changes to the legal, social, inflationary or economic environment, or to the interpretation of policy language, that might affect the cost, frequency, or future reporting of claims. In addition, WTW's estimates make no provision for potential future claims arising from causes not substantially recognised in the historical data (such as new types of mass torts or latent injuries, terrorist acts), except in so far as claims of these types are included incidentally in the reported claims and are implicitly developed.
  • In accordance with its scope WTW's estimates are on the basis that all of Hannover Re Group's reinsurance protection will be valid and collectable. Further liability may exist for any reinsurance that proves to be irrecoverable.
  • WTW's estimates are in Euros based on the exchange rates provided by Hannover Re Group as at each 31 December evaluation date. However, a substantial proportion of the liabilities is denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent that the assets backing the reserves are not held in matching currencies, future changes in exchange rates may lead to significant exchange gains or losses.
  • WTW has not attempted to determine the quality of Hannover Re Group's current asset portfolio, nor has WTW reviewed the adequacy of the balance sheet provisions except as otherwise disclosed herein.
  • In its review, WTW has relied on audited and unaudited data and financial information supplied by Hannover Rück SE and its subsidiaries, including information provided orally. WTW relied on the accuracy and completeness of this information without independent verification.
  • Except for any agreed responsibilities WTW may have to Hannover Re Group, WTW does not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any person for any damages suffered by such person arising out of this commentary or references to WTW in this document.
