YTD

  • GWP f/x-adjusted +17.5%, growth from traditional reinsurance as well as Structured R/I

  • After heavy losses in Q3/2019 we are still within the budget for Q1-3/2019 of EUR 665 m.; large losses totalled EUR 546 m. (5.9% of NPE)

  • Increase in net investment income driven by strong ordinary investment result
  • EBIT margin of 9.9% slightly below target of 10%
  • Tax ratio slightly lower due to tax-privileged disposal gains from real estate and disposal of participation
