Dear shareholders,
UNIQA achieved satisfactory pre-tax earnings of €95.5 million in the first half of 2017, corresponding with an increase of 10.2 per cent on the previous year. The premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance rose by a good 6.6 per cent in the first six months of 2017. This means that we are above our projections. We are growing in Central and Eastern Europe in line with our strategy, with significant gains here both in property and casualty insurance as well as in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance. At the same time, as expected, the life insurance business is declining in Austria in line with the overall market, as the low interest rate environment is suppressing demand from our customers. Health insurance on the other hand increased across the Group by a solid 3.4 per cent.
The fact that, due to the reduction in acquisition costs, we were able to improve the technical result by 57.2 per cent to €71.7 million in the first half of 2017 is just as encouraging, despite expenditures as part of our investment programme. We also managed to slightly reduce the combined ratio to 96.8 per cent, partially owing to improved earnings in Poland and Southeastern Europe. On the other hand, the low interest rate environment continued to put a strain on investment income. Although the decline slowed at 7.5 per cent compared with the previous year, we still had to post an €18.9 million fall here to €233.5 million.
Overall, the improvements in our operational success factors provide evidence that we are on the right track. Premium volumes, combined ratio and cost ratio – all showed a positive trend. However, a one-off charge related to the formation of a provision in connection with the sale of the Italian companies reduced consolidated profit/(loss) to €41.3 million in the first half of 2017. Nevertheless, UNIQA is still expecting some year-on-year improvement in earnings before taxes for the financial year 2017, and intends to increase the dividend per share slightly in 2017.
Sincerely,
Andreas Brandstetter CEO UNIQA Group
Vienna, August 2017
The economy gained significant momentum in the first half of 2017, both in Austria and in the entire eurozone. Growth in annual GDP in the Austrian economy accelerated to 2.2 per cent in the second quarter of 2017, and as such was able to keep up with the rest of the eurozone (2.1 per cent) for the first time in several years. While household consumption is expanding on a relatively steady basis, corporate investments are now also accelerating. There is also more support being provided by the global economy, which is in turn supporting the demand for exports. The mood among consumers and companies is positive, something which is probably also linked to the favourable developments on the European labour markets. The unemployment rate is falling slowly but steadily in the eurozone, reaching 9.1 per cent in June 2017, its lowest point since 2009.
The uncertainties which many financial investors associated with the elections in several European countries (the Netherlands, France, the UK) in the first half of 2017 have abated. The focus has once again shifted back to the central banks. Although the monetary policy of the European Central Bank (ECB) remains ultra-loose, there are signs of a slow but gradual return to normalisation in the medium to long term. Key interest rates will, however, remain around the zero mark for a while, and the large-scale bond sales (quantitative easing) of €60 billion per month will continue until at least the end of the year. In the meantime the US Federal Reserve ("the Fed") continued its cycle of raising interest rates, raising the prime rate by 25 basis points to 1.25 per cent in June 2017. As a further step towards normality, the Fed also intends to begin efforts soon to cut back the central bank's balance sheet that has grown massively since the 2008–2009 financial crisis. Given the strength of the economy, the subdued rates of inflation represent the dilemma facing the central banks mandated with achieving inflationary targets. The rate of inflation is projected to be 1.6 per cent in the eurozone in 2017. In June 2017 the ECB's forecast was for a decline to 1.3 per cent for 2018 and to 1.6 per cent for 2019. Following this, any normalisation of monetary policy is expected to be very slow.
The economic headwind is also strengthening in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The first half of 2017 was characterised by positive economic surprises, and the region (with the exception of Russia) is projected to see economic growth rates of more than 3 per cent again on average over the year. The national economies in Central Europe (Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic and Hungary) are benefiting both from continued expansion of private consumption and from a recovery in corporate investments and increased activity in the construction sectors. As expected, one positive effect on gross fixed capital formation stems from the increased access to EU funds from the current budgetary framework (2014–2020). The recovery in the demand for exports has also most recently benefitted the small open national economies. Unemployment rates have fallen significantly to new lows last seen before the financial crisis in 2008–2009. The Czech Central Bank ended its policy of pegging the Czech koruna to the euro in April 2017, and raised its key rate for the first time in early August, by 20 basis points to 0.25 per cent. The transition to a flexible exchange rate has proceeded without any major volatility so far.
Romania once again recorded one of the highest growth rates in Europe in the first quarter of 2017 with a rise in GDP of 5.6 per cent. The Ukrainian economy has stabilised following the perfect storm in 2014–2015. The economy has been recovering there since last year. Demand among Russian households is showing initial signs of recovery following the heavy falls in real income during the recession. Russia's overall growth in GDP does, however, remain somewhat below the average for the CEE region as a whole. Southeastern Europe is gaining momentum, primarily as a result of the recovery in Bulgaria, Croatia and Serbia. Unemployment rates in the western Balkans are generally higher than in the region as a whole, although they are also showing signs of a downward trend.
The international rating agency Standard & Poor's (S&P) confirmed the rating for the UNIQA Insurance Group AG of "A-" in early June 2017. The outlook also remains unchanged at "stable".
Premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance rose at the UNIQA Group in the first half of 2017 by 6.6 per cent to €2,798.6 million (1–6/2016: €2,624.6 million) due to solid growth in all lines of business. While recurring premiums grew by 4.2 per cent to €2,656.0 million (1–6/2016: €2,547.9 million), single payment premiums in life insurance increased by 85.9 per cent to €142.6 million (1–6/2016: €76.7 million).
Premiums earned, including net saving portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance totalling €268.8 million (1–6/2016: €167.0 million), grew in the first half of 2017 by 7.8 per cent to €2,583.7 million (1–6/2016: €2,396.6 million). The volume of premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) rose by 3.8 per cent to €2,314.9 million (1–6/2016: €2,229.6 million).
Premiums written in property and casualty insurance grew in the first six months of 2017 by 6.4 per cent to €1,441.6 million (1–6/2016: €1,354.5 million). Premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) even increased by 7.6 per cent to €1,253.9 million (1–6/2016: €1,165.6 million).
In health insurance, premiums written in the reporting period increased by 3.4 per cent to €522.5 million (1–6/2016: €505.4 million). Premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) also grew by 3.4 per cent to €511.6 million (1–6/2016: €495.0 million).
In life insurance, premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and indexlinked life insurance rose overall in the first six months of 2017 by 9.1 per cent to €834.4 million (1–6/2016: €764.7 million). Single premium business increased in the first half of 2017 by 85.9 per cent to €142.6 million (1–6/2016: €76.7 million) as a result of very strong growth in Poland. Recurring premiums rose by 0.6 per cent to €691.8 million (1–6/2016: €688.0 million). The Annual Premium Equivalent (APE) in life insurance therefore increased by 1.5 per cent to €706.1 million (1–6/2016: €695.7 million). The APE calculation accounts for 10 per cent of single premiums, because the average term of single premiums in Europe is ten years. Annual fluctuations are smoothed out as a result in this calculation. In the first half of 2017, the riskpremium portion accounted for in the premiums in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance was €14.8 million (1–6/2016: €18.0 million). The insured capital in life insurance totalled €76,038.5 million as at 30 June 2017 (30 June 2016: €72,398.4 million). Including the net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, premiums earned in life insurance rose by 11.2 per cent to €818.3 million in the first six months of 2017 (1–6/2016: €736.0 million). In Austria, because of the downward trend, the volume of premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) fell by 3.5 per cent to €549.4 million(1–6/2016: €569.1 million).
The total amount of insurance benefits (net) earned by the UNIQA Group in the first half of 2017 increased by 2.4 per cent to €1,749.0 million (1–6/2016: €1,708.4 million). Insurance benefits before consideration of reinsurance rose by 1.9 per cent to €1,778.2 million (1–6/2016: €1,745.2 million).
Insurance benefits (net) earned in property and casualty insurance increased by 8.1 per cent to €816.5 million (1–6/2016: €755.1 million) as a result of increases in current year claims in Austria. The claims rate after reinsurance increased slightly in the first six months of 2017 to 65.1 per cent (1–6/2016: 64.8 per cent). The combined ratio after reinsurance improved to 96.8 per cent (1–6/2016: 97.1 per cent). Before consideration of the reinsurance, the combined ratio amounted to 93.1 per cent (1–6/2016: 94.2 per cent).
In health insurance, the (net) insurance benefits (including the change in the insurance provision) grew less strongly in the first half of 2017 than the volume of premiums earned, by 2.5 per cent to €435.5 million (1–6/2016: €424.7 million).
In life insurance, however, they decreased by 6.0 per cent to €497.0 million, because of the voluntary decline in single premium business and traditional life insurance in Austria (1–6/2016: €528.6 million).
Total operating expenses, less reinsurance commission received, rose in the first six months of 2017 by 2.4 per cent to €645.7 million (1–6/2016: €630.8 million). Expenses for the acquisition of insurance rose by 1.7 per cent – and thereby significantly less than the volume of premiums earned – to €443.0 million (1–6/2016: €435.4 million). The reinsurance commission received amounting to €11.1 million (1–6/2016: €10.9 million) has already been deducted from the acquisition costs. Other operating expenses (administrative costs) rose in the first half of 2017 by 3.8 per cent to €202.7 million (1–6/2016: €195.4 million) as a result of expenses amounting to around €16 million in connection with the innovation and investment programme. The overall cost ratio, i.e. the ratio of total operating expenses to the premiums earned, including the net savings portions from the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, fell to 25.0 per cent, taking into account the reinsurance commission received (1–6/2016: 26.3 per cent).
In property and casualty insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received rose in the first half of 2017 by 5.4 per cent to €396.7 million (1–6/2016: €376.3 million). Contributing factors included investments amounting to around €8 million and increased commission in connection with the growth in premiums written. The cost ratio after reinsurance in this line of business amounted to 31.6 per cent (1–6/2016: 32.3 per cent).
In health insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commission received fell by 4.1 per cent to €82.3 million (1–6/2016: €85.9 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance improved to 16.1 per cent (1–6/2016: 17.4 per cent).
In life insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received decreased by 1.1 per cent to €166.7 million (1–6/2016: €168.6 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance fell to 20.4 per cent (1–6/2016: 22.9 per cent) as a result of this and of the heavy increase in premium revenue in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance.
The UNIQA Group's investment portfolio (including investment property, equity-accounted financial assets and other investments) fell slightly to €19,684.4 million as at 30 June 2017 compared to the last reporting date (31 December 2016: €20,024.8 million).
Investment income fell in the first half of 2017 by 7.5 per cent to €233.5 million (1–6/2016: €252.4 million) as a result of ongoing low interest rates as well as negative currency effects in the amount of €40 million. Write-downs of fixed-income securities in the reporting period were overcompensated by gains on disposals of securities. The equity method accounting of the 14.3 per cent holding in construction group STRABAG SE resulted in a negative contribution to earnings in the amount of €–10.3 million in the first half of 2017 (1–6/2016: €–14.2 million).
The UNIQA Group's technical result improved in the first half of 2017 by 57.2 per cent to €71.7 million (1–6/2016: €45.6 million). However, operating profit remained unchanged at €125.3 million due to the lower investment income (1–6/2016: €125.3 million). This also includes an increase in other expenses to €43.0 million (1–6/2016: €35.9 million). Earnings before taxes increased at the UNIQA Group by 10.2 per cent to €95.5 million (1–6/2016: €86.6 million) as a result of falling finance costs.
Net profit for the first six months of 2017 amounted to €42.3 million (1–6/2016: €91.3 million). This includes a loss from discontinued operations (after tax) amounting to €–33.4 million (1–6/2016: €23.7 million) as a result of purchase price adjustments within the scope of the sale of the Italian group companies. Consolidated profit/(loss) (i.e. profit or loss for the period attributable to the shareholders of UNIQA Insurance Group AG) thus decreased by 54.3 per cent to €41.3 million (1–6/2016: €90.3 million). Earnings per share amounted to €0.13 (1–6/2016: €0.29).
Annualised operating return on equity (earnings before taxes and amortisation of goodwill and impairment losses in relation to average equity including non-controlling interests, and excluding the accumulated gains/losses on the valuation of financial instruments available for sale) remained stable in the first half of 2017 at 7.5 per cent after factoring out the Italian group companies (1–6/2016: 7.5 per cent). The annualised return on equity (after tax and noncontrolling interests) for the reporting period was 2.7 per cent (1–6/2016: 5.6 per cent).
Equity attributable to the shareholders of UNIQA Insurance Group AG amounted to €2,997.6 million as at 30 June 2017 (31 December 2016: €3,186.3 million). Non-controlling interests came to €15.9 million (31 December 2016: €26.5 million). The total consolidated statement of financial position fell to €28,697.1 million as at 30 June 2017 as a result of the sale of the Italian group companies (31 December 2016: €33,639.2 million).
Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to €441.3 million in the first half of 2017 (1–6/2016: €306.0 million). Cash flow from the UNIQA Group's investment activities amounted to €–42.3 million (1–6/2016: €–210.9 million) in line with investment of the revenues received in the reporting period; net cash flow from financing activities amounted to €–154.6 million due to dividend payments (1–6/2016: €–146.4 million). Overall, cash and cash equivalents fell slightly by €44.8 million to €794.2 million (1–6/2016: €839.0 million).
The average number of employees (full-time equivalents) at the UNIQA Group fell in the first six months of 2017 to 12,806 (1–6/2016: 13,442). These included 4,404 (1–6/2016: 5,141) field sales employees. The number of administrative employees increased to 8,402 (1–6/2016: 8,301).
The half-year financial report 2016 included an adjustment in the segment reporting of the UNIQA Group. In addition to UNIQA Austria, the UNIQA Austria segment now also includes the figures for the former Raiffeisen Insurance segment.
Premiums written including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance at UNIQA Austria increased slightly in the first half of 2017 to €1,930.7 million (1–6/2016: €1,924.8 million). Recurring premiums rose by an encouraging 1.8 per cent to €1,915.4 million (1–6/2016: €1,880.9 million). Single payment premiums conversely reduced significantly by 65.1 per cent to €15.3 million (1–6/2016: €43.9 million). Premiums earned including the net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance rose by 1.0 per cent to €1,497.2 million (1–6/2016: €1,482.1 million). The volume of premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) increased slightly by 0.7 per cent to €1,380.1 million (1–6/2016: €1,369.9 million).
Premiums written in property and casualty insurance rose, because of the continuing growth in vehicle and property insurance, by 3.4 per cent to €891.9 million (1–6/2016: €862.7 million), and in health insurance UNIQA Austria also recorded strong premium growth of 2.6 per cent to €493.2 million (1–6/2016: €480.4 million).
Premiums written in life insurance, including savings portions of unit-linked and indexlinked life insurance, decreased in the UNIQA Austria segment as a result of the planned contraction in single premium business, falling by 6.2 per cent to €545.7 million (1–6/2016: €581.7 million). Recurring premiums fell slightly by 1.4 per cent to €530.4 million (1–6/2016: €537.8 million). Single premiums fell significantly, however, by 65.1 per cent to €15.3 million (1–6/2016: €43.9 million). Premium volumes in the area of unit-linked and index-linked life insurance at UNIQA Austria fell by 5.4 per cent to €131.4 million in the first half of 2017 (1–6/2016: €138.9 million).
Insurance benefits (net) fell by 0.5 per cent to €1,174.0 million in the UNIQA Austria segment in the first six months of 2017 (1–6/2016: €1,180.1 million). In property and casualty insurance, the combined ratio after reinsurance improved slightly to 93.4 per cent (1–6/2016: 93.5 per cent).
Operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received fell by 3.3 per cent to €278.4 million in the first half of 2017 (1–6/2016: €288.0 million). Following this, the cost ratio after reinsurance fell to 18.6 per cent (1–6/2016: 19.4 per cent).
Investment income fell in the first six months of 2017 by 31.3 per cent to €192.6 million as a result of lower liquidation proceeds and currency losses (1–6/2016: €280.3 million). Earnings before taxes decreased in the UNIQA Austria segment by 41.8 per cent to €85.7 million in the first half of 2017 (1–6/2016: €147.1 million).
In the UNIQA International segment, premiums written, including savings portions from unitlinked and index-linked life insurance, rose by 23.2 per cent in the first six months of 2017 to €837.1 million, as a result of major contracts in Ukraine and Liechtenstein and strong life insurance growth in Poland (1–6/2016: €679.7 million). Single premiums increased strongly to €127.2 million (1–6/2016: €32.8 million). Recurring premiums also rose by 9.7 per cent to €709.9 million (1–6/2016: €646.9 million). This meant that the international companies contributed a total of 29.9 per cent overall in the first half of 2017 (1–6/2016: 25.9 per cent) to total Group premiums. Premiums earned including the net savings portions of the premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance increased by 28.4 per cent to €575.9 million (1–6/2016: €448.4 million). The volume of premiums earned (net, in accordance with IFRSs) rose by 7.7 per cent to €424.1 million (1–6/2016: €393.7 million).
In Central Europe (CE) – i.e. Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Hungary – the premium volume written, including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, rose in the first six months of 2017 by 28.9 per cent to €537.2 million (1–6/2016: €416.7 million). In the region of Eastern Europe (EE), comprising Romania and Ukraine, an increase of 20.9 per cent to €89.8 million was recorded (1–6/2016: €74.3 million). In contrast, the premium volume written, including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, in Southeastern Europe (SEE) – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia – increased by 1.7 per cent to €143.8 million (1–6/2016: €141.3 million). In Russia (RU), the volume of premiums written grew by 38.4 per cent to €36.2 million (1–6/2016: €26.2 million). In Western Europe (WE) – Liechtenstein and Switzerland – they increased by 42.5 per cent to €30.1 million (1–6/2016: €21.1 million).
Premiums written in the UNIQA International segment in property and casualty insurance rose by 9.7 per cent to €523.0 million as a result of the strong growth in other property insurance (1–6/2016: €476.5 million). This meant the contribution of Group companies outside Austria to overall premiums in property and casualty insurance amounted to 36.3 per cent (1–6/2016: 35.2 per cent).
Premiums written in health insurance rose in the first half of 2017 by 17.7 per cent to €29.5 million (1–6/2016: €25.1 million). As such, the segment was responsible for 5.6 per cent (1–6/2016: 5.0 per cent) of health insurance premiums in the UNIQA Group.
In the international life insurance business, the premiums written, including savings portions from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance, rose in the first six months of 2017 by 59.8 per cent to €284.7 million (1–6/2016: €178.1 million), largely driven by strong growth in single premiums in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance in Poland. Single payment premiums almost quadrupled to €127.2 million (1–6/2016: €32.8 million) and recurring premiums also rose by 8.3 per cent to €157.4 million (1–6/2016: €145.3 million).

The favourable performance with corporate profits, a positive economic position and the continued expansionary monetary policy ensured that the mood remained genial as a whole on the stock markets in the first half of 2017. The political uncertainties that still remain have left no more than a short-term mark on the markets in at most. The MSCI World Index, which measures share price movements in the industrialised countries, rose by 9.4 per cent, while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index even rose by 17.2 per cent over the first half of 2017. The strong economic performance in the USA and hopes of significant tax cuts under the new administration resulted in a strong rise in share prices: both the Dow Jones Industrial (DJI) and the NASDAQ Composite have reached historic highs several times so far over the course of the year. Moderate rises in interest rates by the US Federal Reserve only led to minor adjustments in share prices in each case in mid-March and mid-June.
The rise in share prices was rather more modest in Europe – the Euro Stoxx 50 rose by 4.6 per cent in the first half of 2017. An upward trend similar to that in the USA by the middle of the second quarter was accompanied by a correction of almost 6 per cent in the last few weeks of the reporting period as compared with the highest value for the year. This correction is based on the fact that the high growth rates in the eurozone increased worries of interest rates rises by the ECB. There are also fears of a slowdown in the strength of the export economy as a result of the current strength of the euro.
Stock exchanges in the emerging markets performed extremely well in the first half of 2017, as reflected in the positive national economic structural conditions in many key markets. The Eastern European index CECE for instance rose 17.1 per cent over the course of the first six months of 2017. This was a result of the region's excellent economic situation and high competitiveness.
16 November 2017 First to Third Quarter Report 2017
The impressive price performance on the Vienna Stock Exchange in the previous two quarters continued in the first two quarters of 2017. The ATX has risen by 48.2 per cent since mid-2016 and achieved a value of 3,106.66 points as at the halfway point in 2017. Growth has therefore been at 18.6 per cent over the course of 2017. This was the first time since the 2008 economic crisis that a quarter ended with an index value of more than 3,000 points.
The UNIQA share price rose sharply in the second quarter of 2017. It reached a high of €8.30 on 23 May 2017. The share price reached €8.16 on 30 June 2017. It continued to climb and was listed at €8.42 on 7 August 2017. Compared with the 2016 year-end value (€7.20), this means an increase of 16.9 per cent.
With regard to storms in July and August 2017, a severe hailstorm occurred on 10 July 2017 constituting a significant weather event for UNIQA. The hailstorm, that spread over Vienna, the eastern part of Lower Austria and Burgenland, caused damages of around €12 million. The damages primarily affected comprehensive motor insurance as well as household and homeowner insurance.

Based on the strong performance in the first half of 2017, UNIQA now expects overall growth of at least 3 per cent in premiums written for 2017. Growth of more than 3.0 per cent is expected in property and casualty insurance premiums in 2017, driven by both Austria and CEE. In line with the long-term trend, UNIQA is anticipating growth of more than 3.0 per cent in health insurance, generated primarily by business in Austria. In contrast, demand is expected to remain sluggish for life insurance in Austria due to the low interest rate environment. For CEE on the other hand, UNIQA expects significant growth in life insurance for 2017, driven by the strength of the single premium business in Poland.
In 2016, UNIQA began the largest investment programme in the company's history, and in the coming years we will be investing around €500 million in redesigning the business model, developing the required staff competencies and necessary IT systems. This significant investment in the future will impact earnings before taxes in the financial year 2017 to a similar extent as in 2016. In addition, a further decrease in net investment income is to be expected as a consequence of the continuing low interest rate environment. However, net investment income will not go down as much as it did in 2016.
Conversely, UNIQA is striving to improve the combined ratio (after reinsurance) in 2017 to 97.5 per cent. This means increasing profitability for the core business in property and casualty insurance.
Overall, despite the storm damage in July and August, UNIQA is expecting a slight year-onyear improvement in earnings before taxes for the financial year 2017. Despite ongoing investments and the challenging low interest rate environment, UNIQA intends to continue increasing its annual distribution per share over the next few years as part of a progressive dividend policy.

Therefore, the balance of business line assets and business line equity and liabilities does not allow conclusions to be drawn with regard to the equity allocated to the respective business line.
The consolidated half-year financial report as at 30 June 2017 was 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 2016. The functional currency for UNIQA Insurance Group AG is the euro.
On 18 May 2017, the IASB published the IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts". It contains the regulations that up to now were in IFRS 4 "Insurance contracts". The published standard does not show any material changes to the statements made in the 2016 Annual Report.
IFRIC 23 was published by the IASB on 7 June 2017 and deals with the accounting for uncertainty related to income tax treatment. It has no material impact on UNIQA.
On 1 July 2008, securities previously available for sale were reclassified according to IAS 39/50E as other loans. Overall, fixed-income securities with a carrying amount of €2,129.6 million were reclassified. The corresponding revaluation reserve amounted to €–98.2 million as at 30 June 2008. The fair value as at 31 December 2016 was €487.3 million; as at 30 June 2017 it amounted to €426.9 million. The carrying amount of the reclassified securities as at 30 June 2017 was €402.8 million (31 December 2016: €462.5 million).
In accordance with IAS 34.41, estimates and planning have been used to a greater extent in preparing the quarterly financial statements than for annual reporting.
The consolidated half-year financial report was prepared in millions of euros (rounded based on commercial rounding methods). Rounding differences may occur through the use of automated calculation tools when totalling rounded amounts and percentages.
The basis of consolidation – with UNIQA Insurance Group AG – included 111 subsidiaries (31 December 2016: 116) and 7 associates (31 December 2016: 7) using equity method accounting.
By way of a resolution dated 27 July 2015, UNIQA decided to divest its 29 per cent holding in Medial Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft m.b.H. (Vienna). This is therefore reported under assets in disposal groups held for sale (Group functions segment). Medial Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft m.b.H. has an equity investment of around 38 per cent in Casinos Austria Aktiengesellschaft (Vienna); correspondingly, UNIQA holds an interest of around 11 per cent in Casinos Austria Aktiengesellschaft. Due to a decree by the Vienna regional high court acting as antitrust court, which prohibited the transfer of the investment, the sale to NOVOMATIC AG (Gumpoldskirchen) did not take place. The contract with NOVOMATIC was dissolved at the beginning of 2017. By means of a transfer agreement dated 3 January 2017, UNIQA sold its 29 per cent holding in Medial Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft mbH to CAME Holding GmbH (Vienna). The sale to CAME Holding GmbH is subject to a condition precedent. Conditions precedent are essentially mandatory approvals still required under merger law and public law approvals. Closing is expected in the first half of 2018.
The sale of the 99.7 per cent holding in UNIQA Assicurazioni S.p.A. (Milan, Italy) to Società Reale Mutua di Assicurazioni (Turin, Italy), as decided by the Supervisory Board on 2 December 2016, was closed on 16 May 2017. This also included the company's subsidiaries operating in Italy: UNIQA Previdenza S.p.A. (Milan, Italy) and UNIQA Life S.p.A. (Milan, Italy).

A range of Group accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of the fair value of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Group 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 to the Group Management Board.
The measurement team carries out a regular review of the major unobservable inputs and the measurement adjustments. If information from third parties (e.g. price quotations from brokers or price information services) is used to determine fair values, the measurement team examines the evidence obtained from the third parties for the conclusion that such measurements meet the requirements of IFRSs, including the level in the fair value hierarchy to which these measurements are attributable. Major items in the measurement are reported to the Audit Committee.
As far as possible, the Group 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:
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.
The Group recognises reclassifications between different levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change occurred.
For the valuation of capital investments, procedures that are best suited for appropriate ascertainment of the value are applied primarily in the Group. The following standard valuation procedures are applied for financial instruments which come under Levels 2 and 3:
The valuation method in the market value-oriented approach is based on prices or other material information from market transactions which involve identical or comparable assets and liabilities.
The net present value approach corresponds to the method whereby the future (expected) payment flows or earnings are inferred on a current amount.
The cost-oriented approach generally corresponds to the value which would have to be applied in order to procure the asset once again.
The fair value of investment property within the scope of the impairment test in accordance with IAS 36, as well as for the disclosures according to IFRS 13, is determined based on expert reports.
The loans are accounted for at amortised cost in accordance with the valuation method in the "Loans and receivables" category. Any required impairment is determined with due regard to the collateral and the debtor's creditworthiness.
The fair value of financial liabilities and subordinated liabilities is determined using the discounted cash flow method. Yield curves and CDS spreads are used as inputs.

Transfers were made in the reporting period from Level 1 to Level 2 amounting to €335.3 million and from Level 2 to Level 1 amounting to €1,057.5 million. These are attributable primarily to changes in trading frequency and trading activity.
In accordance with the hierarchy set forth in IFRS 13, Level 3 primarily includes fixed-income securities and other equity investments that come under the category "Available for sale".
The following table shows the changes to the fair values of financial instruments whose valuation procedures are not based on observable inputs.

The transfers between Levels 2 and 3 were made as a result of changes in the observability of the relevant inputs. Due to the merger of Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich Aktiengesellschaft, Vienna (RZB) with Raiffeisen Bank International AG, Vienna, (RBI) UNIQA now only holds shares in RBI. Following the market listing of RBI these now have Level 1 input parameters, resulting in a transfer of the former RZB shares to Level 1.
For the most important fixed-income securities, an increase in the discount rate of 100 basis points results in a –2.0 per cent reduction in the value. A reduction in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in a 2.6 per cent increase in value.
Due to the contract of assignment dated 28 July 2015, the 29 per cent holding in Medial Beteiligungs-Gesellschaft m.b.H. (Vienna) (Medial) is recorded under this item.

In the course of the sale of the Italian Group, UNIQA provided a contractual guarantee to Società Reale Mutua di Assicurazioni in the amount of maximum €40 million from the sales partnership with Veneto Banca S.p.A. (Montebelluna, Italy) which remains in place until 2019.
According to the current status of the insolvency proceedings regarding Veneto Banca S.p.A. that began in June 2017, Banca Intesa Sanpaolo (Turin, Italy) will be taking over part of Veneto Banca's business. However, the sales partnership with the UNIQA Italian Group will probably not be taken over as part of this process. As a result, UNIQA is likely to be liable for payment of the full amount as a result of the contractual guarantee. A corresponding provision of €40 million has been formed for this purpose.
