Foreword by the CEO

Dear shareholders,

In the first half of 2022, UNIQA generated earnings before taxes of €169 million. In view of the announced €127 million impairment of Russian bonds held outside our Russian subsidiary Raiffeisen Life, this result can be considered respectable in the current environment.

Premiums written (including savings portions) increased by 3.8 per cent in the first six months of 2022. All business lines contributed to this increase: property and casualty insurance grew by 4.4 per cent, health insurance by 3.8 per cent and life insurance by 2.5 per cent.

The technical result did not quite develop as desired in the first half of 2022: the combined ratio, which is important for us, rose from a very strong 92.6 per cent in the first half of 2021 to 95.0 per cent. This is slightly above our mediumterm target value of a stable 94.0 per cent. Responsible for this were, on the one hand, higher burdens due to major claims and, on the other hand, inflation-related price increases for repair services – both primarily at our Austrian subsidiary. In contrast, however, we were able to further improve the total cost ratio slightly from 26.9 per cent to 26.8 per cent.

Net investment income was €211 million in the first half of the year, 31 per cent less than the comparative value of €307 million for the previous year. We were able to compensate to a large extent for the aforementioned impairment of Russian bonds and further impairments on our shares in Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) in the amount of €28 million by realising gains from equities and equity funds (around €63 million) and property (around €36 million).

A look at the challenging first half of 2022 shows that, despite strong headwinds, we are still on course with our strategic programme, "UNIQA 3.0 – Seeding the Future". This is mainly thanks to the fact that we had already launched a number of strategic initiatives at an early stage in 2020, of which the cost-cutting measures in particular are paying off, in view of the current inflation.

We are still, however, unable to provide a reliable outlook on the development of the capital markets and therefore also no earnings forecast for the year as a whole. Nevertheless, our highly motivated employees, our healthy core business and our consistent strategic focus on our customers' needs strengthen our optimism that we will continue to justify your trust in UNIQA.

Sincerely,

Andreas Brandstetter CEO UNIQA Group

Vienna, August 2022

UNIQA Group

Changes in premiums

The UNIQA Group's premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance rose by 3.8 per cent to €3,436.0 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €3,310.0 million). Property and casualty insurance, health insurance and also life insurance all contributed to this growth. While recurring premiums grew by 3.4 per cent to €3,349.3 million (1–6/2021: €3,239.2 million), single premiums in life insurance increased by 22.4 per cent to €86.7 million (1–6/2021: €70.8 million).

Premiums earned including net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance totalling €174.7 million (1–6/2021: €160.1 million) rose by 4.5 per cent to €3,116.4 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €2,983.2 million). Premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) increased by 4.2 per cent to €2,941.8 million (1–6/2021: €2,823.1 million).

Premiums written in property and casualty insurance grew by 4.4 per cent to €1,960.0 million in the first six months of 2022 (1–6/2021: €1,877.4 million). Premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) increased by 5.2 per cent to €1,667.3 million (1–6/2021: €1,584.7 million).

In health insurance, premiums written in the reporting period rose by 3.8 per cent to €638.3 million (1–6/2021: €615.2 million). The volume of premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) rose by 4.6 per cent to €629.3 million (1–6/2021: €601.5 million).

In life insurance, premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance rose overall in the first six months of 2022 by 2.5 per cent to €837.6 million (1–6/2021: €817.5 million). The single premium business grew in the first half of 2022 by 22.4 per cent to €86.7 million (1–6/2021: €70.8 million). Recurring premiums also rose slightly by 0.6 per cent to €750.9 million (1–6/2021: €746.6 million). The Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) in life insurance increased as a result of this development by 0.8 per cent to €759.6 million (1–6/2021: €753.7 million). The APE calculation accounts for 10 per cent of single premiums because the average term of single premiums in Europe is ten years. As a result of this, annual fluctuations are smoothed out in this calculation. The risk premium portion accounted for in the premiums in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance was €44.6 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €18.4 million). The insured capital in life insurance totalled €116,069.2 million as at 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: €106,163.6 million). Including net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, premiums earned in life insurance rose by 2.9 per cent to €819.9 million in the first six months of 2022 (1–6/2021: €797.1 million). Premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) decreased by 1.3 per cent to €645.2 million (1–6/2021: €637.0 million).

Insurance benefits

The total amount of net insurance benefits in the UNIQA Group rose by 3.7 per cent to €2,125.3 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €2,050.3 million), which was less than the growth in premiums earned. Insurance benefits before consideration of reinsurance remained stable at €2,194.3 million (1–6/2021: €2,193.7 million).

Net insurance benefits in property and casualty insurance increased by 6.7 per cent to €1,050.9 million (1–6/2021: €985.0 million), mainly due to a rise in major claims in the area of corporate business. The loss ratio after reinsurance therefore increased slightly in the first six months of 2022 to 63.0 per cent (1–6/2021: 62.2 per cent). The combined ratio after reinsurance increased to 95.0 per cent (1–6/2021: 92.6 per cent). Before consideration of reinsurance, however, the combined ratio improved slightly to 93.4 per cent (1–6/2021: 93.5 per cent).

In health insurance, the (net) insurance benefits (including the change in insurance provision) grew in the first half of 2022 by 3.9 per cent to €535.5 million (1–6/2021: €515.5 million).

In life insurance, insurance benefits fell by 2.0 per cent to €539.0 million (1–6/2021: €549.8 million).

Operating expenses

Total operating expenses, less reinsurance commission received, rose in the first six months of 2022 by 4.0 per cent to €834.3 million (1–6/2021: €802.5 million). Expenses for the acquisition of insurance increased by 14.6 per cent to €568.0 million (1–6/2021: €495.8 million). The reinsurance commission received amounting to €12.2 million (1–6/2021: €11.0 million) has already been deducted from the acquisition costs. Other operating expenses (administrative expenses) decreased in the first half of 2022 as a result of the successful cost reduction measures by 13.2 per cent to €266.3 million (1–6/2021: €306.7 million). This item includes costs under the innovation and investment programme amounting to around €19 million (1–6/2021: approx. €24 million).

The total cost ratio, i.e. the ratio of total operating expenses to the premiums earned including net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, decreased slightly to 26.8 per cent, taking into account the reinsurance commission received (1–6/2021: €26.9 per cent).

In property and casualty insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received rose in the first half of 2022 by 10.6 per cent to €532.8 million (1–6/2021: €481.7 million), above all due to higher commissions for acquiring new business. The cost ratio (after reinsurance) thus increased to 32.0 per cent in this segment (1–6/2021: 30.4 per cent).

In health insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commission received decreased by 6.9 per cent to €96.4 million (1–6/2021: €103.5 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance fell to 15.3 per cent (1–6/2021: 17.2 per cent).

In life insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commission received also decreased by 5.6 per cent to €205.1 million (1–6/2021: €217.3 million). The cost ratio (after reinsurance) improved to 25.0 per cent (1–6/2021: 27.3 per cent).

Investments

The UNIQA Group's investment portfolio (including investment property, financial assets accounted for using the equity method and other investments) fell to €18,927.7 million as at 30 June 2022 compared with the last reporting date (31 December 2021: €21,785.0 million), due to the decreased measurement of financial instruments available for sale in connection with increased yields.

Net investment income fell by 31.2 per cent to €211.2 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €307.2 million). In particular, the impairment of Russian bonds in the amount of €127 million as well as additional impairments on the investment in RBI amounting to €28 million had a negative effect in the first half of 2022. In contrast, realised gains in equities and equity funds of around €63 million and realised gains from the sale of properties of around €36 million had a positive effect on net investment income in the first half of 2022. The application of the equity method of accounting for the 15.3 per cent holding in construction group STRABAG SE resulted in a positive contribution to earnings in the amount of €34.1 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €12.4 million).

Earnings before taxes

The technical result of the UNIQA Group rose by 7.6 per cent in the first half of 2022 to €119.5 million (1–6/2021: €111.1 million), mainly due to the improved results in health and life insurance. Due to the lower net investment income, however, the operating profit fell by 21.9 per cent to €216.4 million (1–6/2021: €277.0 million). The UNIQA Group's earnings before taxes dropped accordingly by 21.5 per cent to €169.4 million (1–6/2021: €215.7 million).

Profit/(loss) for the first six months of 2022 amounted to €157.2 million (1–6/2021: €171.7 million). Consolidated profit/(loss) (i.e. the proportion of the net profit for the period attributable to the shareholders of UNIQA Insurance Group AG) decreased by 11.8 per cent to €150.6 million (1–6/2021: €170.7 million). Earnings per share amounted to €0.49 (1–6/2021: €0.56).

The annualised return on equity (after tax and noncontrolling interests) for the reporting period was 11.4 per cent (1–6/2021: 10.1 per cent).

Group equity and total assets

Equity attributable to the shareholders of UNIQA Insurance Group AG fell to €1,969.6 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: €3,303.6 million). The main reason for this development was the decrease in the measurement of financial instruments available for sale due to the increase in returns and the dividend payment for the 2021 financial year. Non-controlling interests came to €20.9 million (31 December 2021: €19.7 million). The Group's total assets decreased to €28,300.2 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: €31,547.8 million).

Cash flow

Net cash flow from operating activities in the first half of 2022 amounted to €–369.6 million (1–6/2021: €620.2 million). Cash flow from the UNIQA Group's investing activities, in line with investment of the revenues received in the reporting period, amounted to €612.5 million (1–6/2021: €–399.9 million); net cash flow from financing activities totalled €–156.9 million (1–6/2021: €–89.7 million). Overall, cash and cash equivalents fell by €96.7 million to €680.0 million (1–6/2021: €776.7 million).

Employees

The average number of employees (full-time equivalents, FTEs) at the UNIQA Group fell in the first six months of 2022 to 14,273 (1–6/2021: 14,748). These included 3,741 (1–6/2021: 4,217) field sales employees. The number of administrative employees remained stable at 10,532 (1–6/2021: 10,531).

Premiums written in life insurance including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance increased slightly in the UNIQA Austria segment by 1.3 per cent to €492.9 million (1–6/2021: €486.6 million). Recurring premiums fell by 1.7 per cent to €452.7 million (1–6/2021: €460.7 million). Single premiums, on the other hand, increased by 55.1 per cent to €40.2 million (1–6/2021: €25.9 million).

Operating expenses less reinsurance commission received increased only slightly in the first half of 2022 by 1.3 per cent to €319.0 million (1–6/2021: €315.0 million) due to cost-cutting measures. The cost ratio after reinsurance therefore fell to 19.8 per cent (1–6/2021: 20.3 per cent).

Net investment income decreased by 51.3 per cent to €165.7 million in the first six months of 2022 (1–6/2021: €340.3 million) due to the impairment of Russian bonds. This brought earnings before taxes in the UNIQA Austria segment down to €14.5 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €203.8 million).

UNIQA International

In the UNIQA International segment, premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and indexlinked life insurance rose by 3.8 per cent to €1,275.6 million in the first six months of 2022 (1–6/2021: €1,228.8 million), primarily on account of the positive development in the Czech Republic and in Southeastern Europe.

This meant that the international companies contributed a total of 37.1 per cent to total Group premiums overall in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: 37.1 per cent).

In the UNIQA International segment, premiums written in property and casualty insurance rose by 3.2 per cent to €874.4 million (1–6/2021: €847.4 million). This meant the contribution of Group companies outside Austria to overall premiums in property and casualty insurance amounted to 44.6 per cent (1–6/2021: 45.1 per cent).

Premiums written in health insurance increased by 4.0 per cent to €57.6 million in the first half of 2022 (1–6/2021: €55.4 million). As such, the segment was responsible for 9.0 per cent (1–6/2021: 9.0 per cent) of health insurance premiums in the UNIQA Group.

In the international life insurance business, premiums written including savings portions of unit-linked and index-linked life insurance increased by 5.4 per cent to €343.6 million in the first six months of 2022 (1–6/2021: €325.9 million), driven primarily by the good developments in Central Europe. Single premiums increased by 3.6 per cent to €46.5 million (1–6/2021: €44.9 million). Recurring premiums rose by 5.7 per cent to €297.1 million (1–6/2021: €281.1 million). UNIQA International's share of overall life insurance premiums in the UNIQA Group amounted to 41.0 per cent (1–6/2021: 39.9 per cent).

In the UNIQA International segment, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received rose by 6.6 per cent to €304.0 million (1–6/2021: €285.3 million). The cost ratio (after reinsurance) therefore increased to 35.5 per cent (1–6/2021: 35.1 per cent). In Central Europe, costs rose by 4.1 per cent to €193.9 million (1–6/2021: €186.2 million), and in Eastern Europe they rose by 3.8 per cent to €34.4 million (1–6/2021: €33.1 million).

Net investment income fell to €52.2 million (1–6/2021: €118.4 million), due to the special dividend received from STRABAG SE in the same period of the previous year. This brought earnings before taxes down to €5.2 million (1–6/2021: €51.5 million).

Outlook

UNIQA expects premium income to rise and projects robust growth in its core underwriting business this year. However, it is currently impossible to provide a solid assessment of capital market developments and hence a stable forecast regarding net investment income. UNIQA therefore remains unable to make a profit forecast for the year as a whole.

Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

GENERAL DISCLOSURES

Accounting principles

The consolidated interim financial statements as at 30 June 2022 were prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) recognised by the European Union (EU) as well as the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee. The additional requirements of Section 245a(1) of the Austrian Commercial Code and Section 138(8) of the Austrian Insurance Supervision Act were met.

The accounting, measurement and consolidation principles correspond to those applied in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2021. The functional currency for UNIQA Insurance Group AG is the euro.

In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements, estimates and planning have been used to a greater extent than for annual reporting.

The consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in € millions (rounded based on commercial rounding methods). Rounding differences may occur when totalling rounded amounts and percentages.

Adoption of new and revised standards

IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 17 – Insurance Contracts

On 25 June 2020, the IASB published the final accounting standard for insurance contracts – IFRS 17. The date of initial application of IFRS 17 was set for 1 January 2023. For insurance companies, the date of initial application of IFRS 9 is linked to that of IFRS 17. IFRS 17 became EU law through the adoption of Regulation (EU) No. 2021/2036 of 19 November 2021 by the EU Commission.

IFRS 17 establishes principles of recognition, measurement and presentation, as well as the disclosures for insurance contracts.

Use of judgements and estimates

Information on judgements that, when applying the accounting methods, have a material effect on the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements is provided below:

  • Identification of insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with participation features: assessment of whether a significant insurance risk is transferred, thus falling within the scope of IFRS 17, and whether there are any contracts with direct participation features.
  • Determination of the level of aggregation: identification of portfolios of insurance contracts as well as determination of groups of contracts that are onerous at initial recognition and groups of contracts that at initial recognition have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently.
  • Measurement: determining the method for calculating the risk adjustment for non-financial risk and the coverage units provided.
  • Transitional regulations: determining whether the necessary reasonable information is available to perform a full or modified retrospective application.

Information about uncertainties in assumptions and estimations that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the net carrying amounts in the subsequent financial year:

  • Changes in the key assumptions listed below could materially affect the settlement amount. These changes would adjust the contractual service margin and not the net carrying amount of the insurance contracts, unless the changes result from onerous contracts or do not relate to future benefits.
  • Property and casualty insurance contracts: assumptions related to claims development and claims frequency.
  • Life and health insurance contracts: assumptions for estimates of future cash flows related to mortality, longevity, disability or morbidity, customer behaviour (lapse) and profit participation rate.

The assumptions about discount rates and cost development have an influence on all of UNIQA's insurance lines.

Significant assumptions and estimates

The settlement amount is made up of:

  • estimates of the future cash flows;
  • an adjustment reflecting the time value of money and the financial risks associated with the future cash flows (discounting);
  • an adjustment for the effects of non-financial risk.

The objective of estimating future cash flows is to determine the expected value of a range of scenarios that reflect the full scope of all possible outcomes. The cash flows from each scenario are discounted and weighted, taking into account the estimated probability that this outcome will lead to an expected present value. UNIQA applies stochastic modelling if the cash flows are influenced by complex underlying factors and they therefore do not react linearly to changes in the economic environment – this applies, for example, to contracts with participation features. If this is not the case, a deterministic calculation is used.

Estimates of future cash flows

The estimates of future cash flows consist of unbiased use of all reasonable and supportable information available without undue cost or effort relating to the amount, timing and uncertainty of future cash flows. The information is based on company-specific data as long as the estimates do not contradict observable market data and the assumptions adequately consider future scenarios.

When estimating the cash flows, UNIQA takes into account current expectations of future events that might affect those cash flows. Expectations of future changes in legislation that would change or discharge the present obligation or create new obligations under the existing insurance contract are not taken into account until the change in legislation is substantively enacted.

Cash flows within the boundary of an existing insurance contract relate directly to the fulfilment of the contract, including those cash flows for which UNIQA can decide the amount or maturity at its own discretion. These cash flows include premiums, payments to (or on behalf of ) a policyholder, insurance acquisition cash flows and other costs incurred to fulfil the contract.

Insurance acquisition cash flows result from the sale of insurance contracts and are directly attributable to the portfolio to which the contract belongs. Other costs recognised in the cash flows are:

claims handling costs;

  • policy administration and maintenance costs, including recurring commissions;
  • asset management costs.

Insurance acquisition cash flows and other costs also include fixed and variable overheads directly attributable to fulfilling insurance contracts. Such overheads are allocated to groups of contracts using methods that are systematic and rational, and are consistently applied to all costs that have similar characteristics.

Adjustment for the time value of money and the financial risks associated with future cash flows (discounting) A key component in determining the contractual service margin is discounting the future cash flows. This is an adjustment for the time value of money and the financial risks associated with the future cash flows. The calculation of the underlying interest rates is based on the methodology used under Solvency II (EIOPA's technical documentation): UNIQA applies the bottom-up approach. The base yield curves in accordance with IFRS 17 correspond to the base yield curves in accordance with Solvency II, whereby these can be adjusted in the course of the annual ORSA process. To determine the illiquidity adjustment in accordance with IFRS 17, UNIQA applies the definition of the volatility adjustment under Solvency II.

Risk adjustment for non-financial risk

Another component in determining the contractual service margin is the adjustment of future cash flows by a risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The risk adjustment is determined in life and health insurance using the cost of capital approach in accordance with the standard formula under Solvency II. In property and casualty insurance, the confidence level method from UNIQA's partial internal model pursuant to Solvency II is used.

Exercise of options

For both the general measurement model and the variable fee approach, UNIQA assumes at the date of publication of the Half-Year Financial Report that the OCI option will be applied where the respective allocated financial instruments on the asset side are also measured through other comprehensive income.

The total change in the risk adjustment will be shown in the technical result.

In addition, UNIQA will in principle measure at fair value those properties that are the underlying reference values in life and health insurance with participation features.

Transitional regulations

As at the transition date to IFRS 17, a large part of UNIQA's insurance portfolio consists of contracts where the conclusion of the contract sometimes dates back decades. IFRS 17 basically stipulates that the standard must be applied fully retrospectively. This means that the items in the statement of financial position should be determined as if the new accounting policy had always been applied. Full retrospective application requires at least an annual roll-up of the contractual service margin over the entire term of the contract, since its inception.

Full retrospective application of IFRS 17 is not practicable for UNIQA for the following reasons:

  • The required contract master data and data on transactions concerning the contracts are not available retrospectively with the necessary granularity.
  • The determination of expected future cash flows and their adjustment in the event of economic (discounting) and non-economic changes in assumptions (e.g. mortality assumptions) is not possible retrospectively, as even in that case no better knowledge would be available ("without hindsight").
  • The same applies to the determination of the required allocation of costs attributable to the insurance portfolio.

If the full retrospective application of IFRS 17 is not practicable, which is the case for UNIQA, there are two alternatives available:

  • modified retrospective approach
  • fair value approach

The choice of the appropriate approach for determining the IFRS 17 opening balance sheet is made at the level of portfolios of insurance contracts. UNIQA uses both approaches.

The aim of the modified retrospective approach is to achieve the best possible approximation to a full retrospective application. For this purpose, IFRS 17 allows several modifications to the full retrospective application, of which the following are applied at UNIQA. These modifications can be applied if the required detailed information from prior periods is not available. Due to the lack of availability of contract information in the required granularity, UNIQA is applying the modification which allows the omission of a subdivision of contract groups by underwriting years. In addition, UNIQA is applying the modification according to which the measurement is carried out at portfolio level.

Application of the modified retrospective approach for contracts without discretionary participation features:

  • UNIQA applies the modifications IFRS 17.C12–C14 for contracts without discretionary participation features. These deal with the determination of the expected future cash flows (C12), their discount rates (C13), the risk adjustment (C14) and the insurance acquisition cash flows (C14B–C14D) for the initial recognition of groups of insurance contracts. Based on these modifications, a contractual service margin or loss component is determined at the date of initial recognition of groups of insurance contracts.
  • The modifications IFRS 17.C15 and IFRS 17.C16 are applied to adjust the carrying amount of the contractual service margin or loss component from the date of initial recognition to the date of transition to IFRS 17.
  • For portfolios containing contracts with different underwriting years, UNIQA applies the modification IFRS 17.C18(b). This results in the cumulative revaluation reserve being determined as nil at the transition date (IFRS 17.C18(b)(i)), unless the OCI option in accordance with IFRS 17.88(b) applies.

For contracts with discretionary participation features, the provisions of IFRS 17.C17 apply, which require the contractual service margin to be determined from the following portfolio information:

  • the differences between the fair value of the underlying reference values and the settlement amounts at the date of the transition to IFRS 17;
  • an adjustment for amounts charged by the company to the policyholders before that date;
  • adjustments for the changes in the risk adjustment before that date;
  • adjustment of the carrying amount of the contractual service margin from the date of initial recognition to the date of transition to IFRS 17.

If this results in a loss component, this must be determined as nil in accordance with IFRS 17.C17(e).

In the context of the indicative opening balance sheet determined in mid-2022 in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 17, UNIQA expects a decrease in Group equity. This is due in particular to an increase in technical provisions, which in turn is attributable to the contractual service margin. This effect is primarily driven by life and health insurance. It is not yet possible to make a final quantification of the effects on the opening balance and on key figures.

Application of classification overlay

For the presentation of adjusted comparative information for the period prior to the initial application of IFRS 9, UNIQA plans to apply IFRS 9 using classification overlay. Accordingly, IFRS 9 is also to be applied to those financial assets that will be disposed of in the course of 2022. Impairments for financial assets are to be determined on the basis of the IFRS 9 impairment model for expected credit losses.

Impact of Russia's attack on Ukraine

The Russian attack on Ukraine has had an impact on UNIQA at various levels.

In general, strong effects on the global financial markets and economies were observed in the form of higher inflation due to sharply increased energy prices, negative changes in share prices, a significant increase in credit spreads and an increase in credit defaults. These developments are reflected in the decline in the net carrying amounts of the investments held by UNIQA.

In the first half of 2022, UNIQA recognised an impairment loss on Russian bonds in the amount of €127 million. This impairment relates to Russian government and corporate bonds with an acquisition cost of €156 million denominated in euros, US dollars and Russian roubles and held by UNIQA in Group companies outside Russia.

UNIQA expects that there will continue to be sufficient capitalisation and that the regulatory solvency capital requirements will be met.

With regard to the Russian market, it was necessary to evaluate UNIQA's positioning: UNIQA currently holds 75 per cent of Raiffeisen Life Insurance Company LLC (the remaining 25 per cent is held by JSC Raiffeisenbank). Immediately after Russia's attack on Ukraine in early 2022, UNIQA decided to stop all investments in the Russian insurance market and to discontinue key branches of new business. All options up to a complete exit from the Russian market are still being examined. The premiums generated in Russia amount to €25.7 million for the first half of 2022, which corresponds to 0.9 per cent of UNIQA's premiums earned (net).

The fair value option is applied to structured products that are not split between the underlying transaction and the derivative but are instead accounted for as a unit. Furthermore, the fair value option is applied to selected non-interest-bearing financial instruments that are initially recognised as financial assets at fair value

through profit or loss. Unrealised gains and losses are recognised in profit/(loss) for the period. The maximum default risk of these financial instruments is limited to the net carrying amount.

Determination of fair value

A range of accounting policies and disclosures requires the determination of the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. UNIQA has defined a control framework with regard to the determination of fair value. This includes a measurement team, which bears general responsibility for monitoring all major measurements of fair value, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the respective Member of the Management Board.

A review of the major unobservable inputs and the measurement adjustments is carried out regularly. If information from third parties (e.g. price quotations from brokers or price information services) is used to determine fair values, the evidence obtained from third parties is examined in order to see whether such measurements meet the requirements of IFRSs. The level in the fair value hierarchy to which these measurements are attributable is also tested. Major items in the measurement are reported to the Investment Committee.

As far as possible, UNIQA uses data that are observable on the market when determining the fair value of an asset or a liability. Based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the fair values are assigned to different levels in the fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. At UNIQA, these primarily involve quoted shares, quoted bonds and quoted investment funds.
  • Level 2: measurement parameters that are not quoted prices included in Level 1 but which can be observed for the asset or liability either directly (i.e. as a price) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices), or are based on prices from markets that have been classified as inactive. The parameters that can be observed here include, for example, exchange rates, yield curves and volatilities. At UNIQA, these include in particular quoted bonds that do not fulfil the conditions under Level 1, along with structured products.
  • Level 3: measurement parameters for assets or liabilities that are not based or are only partly based on observable

market data. The measurement here primarily involves application of the discounted cash flow method, comparative procedures with instruments for which there are observable prices and other procedures. As there are no observable parameters here in many cases, the estimates used can have a significant impact on the result of the measurement. At UNIQA, primarily other equity investments, private equity and hedge funds as well as structured products that do not fulfil the conditions under Level 2 are assigned to Level 3.

If the inputs used to determine the fair value of an asset or a liability can be assigned to different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the entire fair value measurement is assigned to the respective level of the fair value hierarchy that corresponds to the lowest input significant for the measurement overall.

UNIQA recognises reclassifications between different levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change occurred.

The measurement processes and methods are as follows:

Financial instruments measured at fair value

For the measurement of capital investments, techniques best suited to the establishment of corresponding value are applied. The following standard valuation techniques are applied for financial instruments which come under Levels 2 and 3:

Market approach

The measurement method in the market approach is based on prices or other applicable information from market transactions which involve identical or comparable assets and liabilities.

Income approach

The income approach corresponds to the method whereby the future (expected) payment flows or earnings are inferred on a current amount.

Cost approach

The cost approach generally corresponds to the value which would have to be applied in order to procure the asset once again.

Sensitivities

Fixed-income securities

The main unobservable input in the measurement of fixed-income securities is the specific credit spread. In order to be able to measure these securities in a discounted cash flow model, the spreads are derived from a selection of reference securities with comparable characteristics. For the fixed-income securities in Level 3, an increase in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in a 9.7 per cent reduction in value (2021: 7.7 per cent). A reduction in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in an 8.5 per cent increase in value (2021: 8.4 per cent).

Other securities under Level 3 mainly comprise private equity funds and other participations. Private equity funds are measured based on the net asset values which are determined by the fund manager using specific unobservable inputs for all underlying portfolio positions. This is done in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guideline. For other equity investments under Level 3, invested capital is considered to be an appropriate measure of fair value. In these cases, a sensitivity analysis is not applicable.

Securities lending transactions

Securities loaned within the framework of securities lending continue to be recognised in the statement of financial position, as the significant opportunities and risks are not transferred through the lending. In return, UNIQA receives collateral in the form of securities, which are also not recognised in the statement of financial position.

As at the reporting date, the net carrying amount of the loaned financial assets in the category of fixed-income securities available for sale from securities lending transactions amounts to €643.9 million. The fair value corresponds to the net carrying amount. The equivalent amount of the collateral received is €716.3 million. The components of these transactions recognised in profit or loss are reported under "Net investment income".
