Dear shareholders, ladies and gentlemen,
Since July 2011, the UNIQA Group has been working systematically to implement our long-term strategy programme UNIQA 2.0. With a clear focus on our core business, we managed to improve our results again in the 1st half of 2014 despite a tense economic environment due to the conflict in Ukraine.
We increased our premiums written (including savings portion) by 2.0 per cent to €3,130.3 million. Adjusted for currency effects, premiums written rose by 3.0 per cent. Retained premiums earned (including savings portion) rose by 3.0 per cent to €2,908.8 million. We reduced the cost ratio from 23.0 per cent to 21.9 per cent and were also able to improve the combined ratio in property and casualty insurance, which is of particular importantce to us, by 1.1 percentage points to 98.3 per cent. As a result, we increased the technical profit by 53.6 per cent to €91.8 million.
Net investment income fell by 11.8 per cent to €360.7 million in the period under review. This was primarily due to impairment of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG bonds totalling €19 million in the 1st half of 2014 and the book profit of €51.1 million on the disposal of the Austria Hotels International Group realised in the previous year. Irrespective of these effects, we succeeded in increasing current investment income slightly year-on-year in spite of the persistent lowinterest environment.
UNIQA generated a profit on ordinary activities of €181.4 million in the 1st half of 2014 (compared to €196.6 million in the 1st half of 2013). On a like-for-like basis, i.e. excluding the nonrecurring effect from the sale of the hotel group, we increased earnings by 24.7 per cent.
The figures for the 1st half of 2014 demonstrate the success achieved so far on the course that we have been pursuing since July 2011 with our long-term strategy programme UNIQA 2.0. We are maintaining our target for 2014 of significantly increasing our earnings before tax once again on a year-on-year basis. This assumes that the economic environment will at least be stable, that there will be no political or economic escalation of the conflict in Ukraine and that losses caused by natural disasters will remain within a normal range.
Best regards,
Andreas Brandstetter CEO UNIQA Group
Vienna, August 2014
In the 1st half of 2014 the economic development in the euro zone continued the slow recovery recorded in the previous year. However, the curbs on economic growth that emerged in some euro zone countries in the 2nd quarter also provide a reminder of how bumpy the upturn in the euro zone has been since the financial crisis in 2008/09 and the euro crisis in 2011/12. After aboveaverage growth in GDP in the first three months of the year (0.8 per cent), the German economy somewhat surprisingly posted a decline of 0.2 per cent in the 2nd quarter of 2014 compared to the previous quarter. Italy's economy did not gather momentum in the 1st half of the year at all, falling short of expectations with a slight decline overall. In Austria, the upturn was also still moderate with GDP growth of 0.2 per cent. For 2014 as a whole, real economic growth in the euro zone of around 1.0 per cent is forecast. By contrast, there was a glimmer of hope with regard to unemployment rates, which are still inflated but have at least stabilised and even shown a slight decrease in some euro-zone countries. In June 2014, the unemployment rate in the euro zone was 11.5 per cent.
The development of consumer prices in the euro zone has been disappointing since the beginning of the year. In July 2014, the inflation rate was just 0.4 per cent. This development is one reason why the European Central Bank reduced its headline interest rate by 10 basis points to 0.15 per cent in June and announced targeted longer-term refinancing operations ("TLTRO"), which are primarily intended to boost the lending sector in the euro zone. The low-interest environment is and remains a challenge, with returns on government bonds of the core euro-zone countries reaching new lows at the middle of the year.
In Central Europe (the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia), the macroeconomic conditions are good and the region is currently posting the highest economic growth rates in Europe. In the 1st half of 2014, GDP growth accelerated to around 3.0 per cent on average. There was strong impetus from the export industry, but domestic demand is also making a growing contribution to the upturn. The development of inflation in the region and returns on the interest rate markets are moderate, providing additional support for the recovery.
Romania generally recorded an economic trend comparable to that of the four Central European economies. By contrast, Ukraine slid into recession with a 4.7 per cent year-on-year decline in economic output in the 2nd quarter of 2014. The escalation of the military conflict in eastern Ukraine and the international economic sanctions are also impacting the Russian economy. After the above-average expansion of recent years, economic growth is expected to be close to zero in 2014. The Russian and Ukrainian currencies suffered considerably as a result of the economic and geopolitical conditions. The rouble fell by around 10 per cent against the euro over the past twelve months, while the Ukrainian hryvnia dropped by almost 40 per cent.
In May 2014, a number of countries in Southeastern Europe were hit by heavy storms. Initial estimates of the extent of flood damage in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina put the figure at €1.5 billion to €2 billion in each case. Apart from this environmental disaster, which caused at least a temporary drop in economic output in the 2nd quarter, there was a continued moderate recovery in Southeastern Europe in the 1st half of 2014. However, Bulgaria is only slowly leaving economic stagnation and the Croatian economy has so far been lagging behind and may still not emerge from recession in 2014. The smaller Balkan countries (Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro), which are generally somewhat less dependent on the development in the euro zone, continued their upturn in the 1st half of the year.
The premiums written by the UNIQA Group including the savings portion of unit- and indexlinked life insurance increased by 2.0 per cent to €3,130.3 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €3,068.1 million) due to the strong development in single premium business in the life insurance segment. Premium growth was curbed by a significant decrease in premiums in unit-linked life insurance. This development was caused mainly by follow-on effects from maturing life insurance policies in connection with the resolution adopted back in 2011to completely withdraw from the German market and not to conclude any new business. Recurring premiums fell by 2.2 per cent to €2,682.5 million (1–6/2013: €2,742.6 million), while single premiums in life insurance grew by 37.6 per cent to €447.8 million (1–6/2013: €325.5 million).
Premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and indexlinked life insurance (which amounted to €265.0 million after €329.9 million in the same period of the previous year) increased by 3.0 per cent in the 1st half of 2014 to €2,908.8 million (1–6/2013: €2,824.9 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 6.0 per cent to €2,643.8 million (1–6/2013: €2,495.0 million).
In the first six months of 2014, the premiums written in property and casualty insurance increased slightly by 0.7 per cent to €1,420.9 million (1–6/2013: €1,411.6 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 2.4 per cent to €1,250.6 million (1–6/2013: €1,221.8 million).
The premiums written in health insurance climbed by 2.8 per cent to €485.3 million overall in the period under review (1–6/2013: €472.1 million), while retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 2.3 per cent to €476.3 million (1–6/2013: €465.8 million).
In life insurance, premiums written including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance rose by a total of 3.4 per cent to €1,224.2 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €1,184.4 million). This was mainly due to the marked rise in single premiums (particularly in Italy). Single premium business increased by 37.6 per cent to €447.8 million in the 1st half of the year (1–6/2013: €325.5 million). By contrast, recurring premiums fell by 9.6 per cent to €776.3 million (1–6/2013: €858.9 million). The annual premium equivalent (APE) in life insurance therefore declined by 7.9 per cent to €821.1 million (1–6/2013: €891.4 million). As the average term of the single premiums in Europe is ten years, 10 per cent of the single premiums were included in the APE calculation, which serves to even out annual fluctuations. The risk premium share of unit- and index-linked life insurance included in the premiums amounted to €27.0 million in the 1st half of the year (1–6/2013: €69.2 million). The insured sum in life insurance as at 30 June 2014 came to a total of €78,836.9 million (30 June 2013: €76,551.2 million). Including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance, premiums earned in life insurance rose by 3.9 per cent to €1,182.0 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €1,137.3 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) increased by 13.6 per cent to €917.0 million (1–6/2013: €807.4 million).
The total amount of retained insurance benefits of the UNIQA Group rose by 6.6 per cent to €2,142.0 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €2,008.9 million). Insurance benefits before reinsurance rose by 4.8 per cent to €2,198.2 million (1–6/2013: €2,097.1 million).
Retained insurance benefits in property and casualty insurance rose by 2.7 per cent to €847.4 million (1–6/2013: €824.9 million). The loss ratio after reinsurance increased slightly to 67.8 per cent in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: 67.5 per cent). However, the combined ratio after reinsurance fell to 98.3 per cent (1–6/2013: 99.4 per cent) due to the further improvement in the cost situation. Before taking reinsurance into consideration, the gross combined ratio was 95.8 per cent (1–6/2013: 99.4 per cent).
Retained insurance benefits (including the change in actuarial provisions) in health insurance declined by 0.7 per cent to €389.6 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €392.3 million).
In life insurance, they increased by 14.3 per cent to €905.0 million (1–6/2013: €791.8 million).
Total operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received fell by 1.7 per cent to €638.4 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €649.3 million). Operating expenses for acquisition increased by 4.0 per cent to €458.9 million (1–6/2013: €441.3 million). Reinsurance commissions received in the amount of €12.4 million (1–6/2013: €14.8 million) were already deducted from acquisition expenses here. Other operating expenses (administration costs) decreased significantly by 13.6 per cent in the 1st half of 2014 to €179.6 million (1–6/2013: €207.9 million). The cost ratio – the ratio of total operating expenses to premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance – less reinsurance commissions received fell to 21.9 per cent (1–6/2013: 23.0 per cent).
In property and casualty insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received decreased by 2.1 per cent to €381.9 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €389.9 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance accordingly decreased to 30.5 per cent in this segment (1–6/2013: 31.9 per cent).
In health insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received climbed by 5.5 per cent to €76.8 million (1–6/2013: €72.8 million). The main reason for this development was a change in the cost allocation due to the new business model in Austria. The corresponding cost ratio after reinsurance thus amounted to 16.1 per cent (1–6/2013: 15.6 per cent).
In life insurance, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received decreased by 3.6 per cent to €179.7 million (1–6/2013: €186.5 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance fell to 15.2 per cent (1–6/2013: 16.4 per cent).
The investment portfolio of the UNIQA Group (including self-used land and buildings, land and buildings held as financial investments, shares in associated companies, investments held on account and at risk of life insurance policyholders and liquid funds) increased by €1,455.0 million compared with the last balance sheet date and totalled €28,838.7 million as at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: €27,383.6 million).
Net investment income decreased by 11.8 per cent in the 1st half of 2014 to €360.7 million (1–6/2013: €408.9 million). The comparative figure for the previous year includes the book profit on the disposal of the Austria Hotels International Group, which amounted to €51.1 million. In addition the impairment of Hypo Alpe-Adria-Bank International AG bonds totalling €19 million put a strain on the investment result in the 1st half of 2014.
The underwriting result of the UNIQA Group increased significantly by 53.6 per cent to €91.8 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €59.8 million). However, the UNIQA Group's profit on ordinary activities declined slightly by 7.7 per cent to €181.4 million (1–6/2013: €196.6 million) due to the lower investment result that resulted from the absence of the nonrecurring effect from the hotel sale.
The net profit came to €125.7 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €152.9 million). The consolidated profit (after taxes and minority interests) fell by 18.5 per cent to €122.8 million (1–6/2013: €150.6 million). Earnings per share amounted to €0.40 (1–6/2013: €0.71). The return on equity after taxes and minority interests amounted to 8.5 per cent in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: adjusted 13.1 per cent).
Compared to the end of 2013, the UNIQA Group's total equity increased by 9.0 per cent to €3,041.7 million as at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: €2,789.9 million). This figure includes minority interests of €26.6 million (31 December 2013: €22.2 million). The solvency ratio (Solvency I) rose to 301.8 per cent (31 December 2013: 287.1 per cent). The Group's total assets increased to €32,589.8 million as at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: €31,068.6 million).
Cash flow from operating activities amounted to €553.6 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €423.1 million). Reflecting the investment of incoming revenue during the period under review, cash flow from the investing activities of the UNIQA Group amounted to minus €288.5 million (1–6/2013: minus €235.9 million). Due to dividend payments, the cash flow from financing activities totalled minus €109.0 million (1–6/2013: minus €59.0 million). All in all, liquid funds decreased by €311.4 million to €775.8 million (1–6/2013: €1,087.2 million).
The average number of employees at the UNIQA Group increased to 14,620 in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: 14,353) as a result of the acquisition of the Baloise Group's insurance companies in Croatia and Serbia. Of this figure, 5,960 (1–6/2013: 6,096) were employed in sales positions. The number of employees in administrative positions rose to 8,660 (1–6/2013: 8,257).
UNIQA Austria's premium volume written, including the savings portion of unit- and indexlinked life insurance, decreased by 1.1 per cent to €1,479.6 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €1,495.3 million). As before, this is due to a significant decrease in premiums in unitlinked life insurance. This development was caused mainly by follow-on effects from maturing life insurance policies in connection with the resolution adopted back in 2011to completely withdraw from the German market and not to conclude any new business. Recurring premiums fell by 1.4 per cent to €1,460.5 million (1–6/2013: €1,481.8 million). By contrast, single premiums grew by 41.0 per cent to €19.1 million (1–6/2013: €13.5 million). Premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance fell by 2.5 per cent to €1,068.3 million (1–6/2013: €1,095.9 million). Retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) were down by 0.6 per cent at €990.8 million (1–6/2013: €997.3 million).
In property and casualty insurance, UNIQA Austria increased premiums written by 2.5 per cent to €761.3 million (1–6/2013: €742.7 million), while the volume of premiums written in health insurance increased by 2.3 per cent to €445.8 million (1–6/2013: €435.9 million).
In the UNIQA Austria segment, the premiums written in life insurance, including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance, declined by 14.0 per cent to €272.5 million (1–6/2013: €316.7 million). Recurring premiums fell by 16.4 per cent to €253.4 million (1–6/2013: €303.2 million), whereas single premiums climbed by 41.0 per cent to €19.1 million (1–6/2013: €13.5 million). UNIQA Austria's premium volume in unit- and index-linked life insurance decreased by 31.9 per cent to €92.2 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €135.5 million).
Retained insurance benefits in the UNIQA Austria segment fell by 2.5 per cent to €822.5 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €843.6 million). In property and casualty insurance, the combined ratio after reinsurance increased slightly to 92.9 per cent (1–6/2013: 91.7 per cent).
Operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received remained roughly on a par with the previous year's level at €201.0 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €199.7 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance amounted to 18.8 per cent (1–6/2013: 18.2 per cent).
Net investment income fell by 9.1 per cent to €150.2 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €165.3 million). Earnings before taxes in the UNIQA Austria segment increased by 3.2 per cent to €95.6 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €92.6 million).
Premiums written at Raiffeisen Insurance fell by 2.1 per cent to €442.8 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €452.1 million). Recurring premiums fell by 9.2 per cent to €389.3 million (1–6/2013: €428.9 million), whereas the volume of single premiums increased by 130.9 per cent to €53.5 million (1–6/2013: €23.2 million). Premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance declined by 2.5 per cent to €384.7 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €394.5 million), while retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) rose by 3.9 per cent to €307.2 million (1–6/2013: €295.8 million).
Premiums written at Raiffeisen Insurance in property and casualty insurance climbed by 5.6 per cent to €78.2 million (1–6/2013: €74.0 million). Raiffeisen Insurance does not offer health insurance.
Life insurance premiums written at Raiffeisen Insurance (including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance) fell by 3.6 per cent to €364.6 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €378.1 million). This is due to a significant decrease in premiums in unit-linked life insurance. This development was caused mainly by follow-on effects from maturing life insurance policies in connection with the resolution adopted back in 2011to completely withdraw from the German market and not to conclude any new business. Recurring premiums fell by 12.3 per cent to €311.1 million (1–6/2013: €354.9 million), whereas single premiums rose by 130.9 per cent to €53.5 million (1–6/2013: €23.2 million). Raiffeisen Insurance's premium volume in unit- and index-linked life insurance decreased by 31.9 per cent to €92.2 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €135.5 million).
Retained insurance benefits increased by 3.1 per cent to €320.7 million (1–6/2013: €311.0 million). The combined ratio in property and casualty insurance improved to 84.5 per cent after reinsurance (1–6/2013: 94.0 per cent).
In addition, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received fell by 9.4 per cent to €45.2 million (1–6/2013: €49.9 million). The cost ratio after reinsurance was 11.7 per cent (1–6/2013: 12.6 per cent).
Net investment income declined by 6.6 per cent to €116.3 million (1–6/2013: €124.6 million). In the 1st half of 2014, the profit on ordinary activities in the Raiffeisen Insurance segment improved slightly to €51.3 million (1–6/2013: €50.1 million).
UNIQA International significantly increased its premiums written including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance by 8.1 per cent to €1,179.0 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €1,090.2 million). While recurring premiums grew slightly by 0.3 per cent to €803.7 million (1–6/2013: €801.4 million), single premiums climbed by 29.9 per cent to €375.3 million (1–6/2013: €288.8 million) thanks to very strong business in Italy. As a result, the international companies contributed 37.7 per cent of total Group premiums in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: 35.5 per cent). Premiums earned including the net savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance increased by 12.5 per cent to €893.6 million (1–6/2013: €794.7 million), while retained premiums earned (in accordance with IFRS) climbed by 18.4 per cent to €783.6 million (1–6/2013: €662.0 million).
In Central Europe (CE) – the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia – the premium volume written, including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance, declined by 12.3 per cent to €423.5 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €483.0 million). In the Eastern Europe (EE) region – consisting of Romania and Ukraine – premiums written, including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance, fell by 20.9 per cent to €86.5 million (1–6/2013: €109.4 million). By contrast, in Southeastern Europe (SEE) – Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia – they increased by 13.3 per cent to €121.0 million (1–6/2013: €106.8 million). In Russia (RU), premiums written increased by 8.2 per cent to €35.0 million (1–6/2013: €32.3 million). And in Western Europe (WE) – Italy, Liechtenstein and Switzerland – premiums written including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance rose by 43.0 per cent to €513.0 million (1–6/2013: €358.7 million) due to the increase in single premiums in Italy.
In the UNIQA International segment, premiums written in property and casualty insurance decreased by 2.1 per cent to €558.6 million (1–6/2013: €570.8 million) due to considerable restraint in the highly competitive vehicle business in CEE. The proportion of total premiums in property and casualty insurance attributable to Group companies outside Austria thus amounted to 39.3 per cent (1–6/2013: 40.4 per cent).
Premiums written in health insurance grew by 9.2 per cent to €39.5 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €36.2 million). This segment was therefore responsible for 8.1 per cent (1–6/2013: 7.7 per cent) of the UNIQA Group's health insurance premiums.
Life insurance business grew significantly in the first six months of 2014. Premiums written including the savings portion of unit- and index-linked life insurance rose by 20.2 per cent to €580.9 million (1–6/2013: €483.2 million), primarily due to the positive business development in Italy and Russia. Single premiums grew by 29.9 per cent to €375.3 million (1–6/2013: €288.8 million). Recurring premiums climbed by 5.7 per cent to €205.6 million (1–6/2013: €194.4 million). The share of the UNIQA Group's total life insurance premiums attributable to UNIQA International thus climbed to 47.5 per cent in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: 40.8 per cent). Premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance in international business declined to €116.7 million (1–6/2013: €141.2 million).
Retained insurance benefits in the UNIQA International segment rose by 28.2 per cent to €606.0 million (1–6/2013: €472.7 million) as a result of the increased business volume. The combined ratio in property and casualty insurance fell to 102.8 per cent after reinsurance (1–6/2013: 103.4 per cent). In the CE region, benefits fell by 1.0 per cent to €119.3 million (1–6/2013: €120.5 million), while the figure for the EE region also decreased by 2.5 per cent to €36.1 million (1–6/2013: €37.1 million). In SEE, they increased by 18.6 per cent to €53.4 million (1–6/2013: €45.1 million). In Russia, benefits amounted to €19.6 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €17.8 million), while in Western Europe they also increased by 49.7 per cent to €377.5 million (1–6/2013: €252.2 million).
In the UNIQA International segment, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received fell by 2.4 per cent to €220.9 million (1–6/2013: €226.4 million) despite the increased business volume. The cost ratio after reinsurance therefore decreased to 24.7 per cent (1–6/2013: 28.5 per cent). Costs fell by 6.6 per cent to €81.7 million in CE (1–6/2013: €87.5 million) and by 13.9 per cent to €34.7 million in EE (1–6/2013: €40.4 million). By contrast, in SEE they increased by 14.0 per cent to €42.1 million (1–6/2013: €37.0 million). In Russia, costs amounted to €11.8 million in the first six months of 2014 (1–6/2013: €12.0 million), while the figure for Western Europe increased by 5.1 per cent to €38.3 million (1–6/2013: €36.4 million). Operating expenses attributable to administration (UNIQA International AG) decreased by 7.2 per cent to €12.2 million (1–6/2013: €13.1 million).
Net investment income in the UNIQA International segment increased by 14.7 per cent to €78.9 million (1–6/2013: €68.8 million). The profit from ordinary activities rose by 92.2 per cent to €23.9 million (1–6/2013: €12.4 million).
Premiums written in the reinsurance segment amounted to €666.0 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €667.8 million). In property and casualty insurance, premiums written decreased slightly by 0.3 per cent to €639.5 million (1–6/2013: €641.3 million). In health insurance they amounted to €0.7 million (1–6/2013: €0.8 million), while in life insurance they amounted to €25.7 million (1–6/2013: €25.8 million).
Retained insurance benefits increased by 2.8 per cent to €397.9 million (1–6/2013: €387.0 million). Operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received rose by 4.6 per cent to €171.6 million (1–6/2013: €164.0 million). Net investment income grew by 26.3 per cent to €13.8 million (1–6/2013: €10.9 million). Earnings before taxes in the reinsurance segment improved to €4.4 million (1–6/2013: minus €3.0 million).
In the Group Functions and Consolidation segment, operating expenses less reinsurance commissions received amounted to €0.3 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: minus €9.3 million). The net investment income amounted to €1.5 million in the 1st half of 2014 (1–6/2013: €39.4 million). The profit on ordinary activities in the Group Functions and Consolidation segment amounted to €6.3 million (1–6/2013: €44.4 million).

The persistently low interest rate level remained a key driver of the development on the international stock markets. Whereas in the 1st quarter of 2014 fears of a rapid withdrawal of the US central bank's expansive measures and the Ukraine crisis led to significant – albeit temporary – price drops, in the 2nd quarter the slight upward trend in share prices was accompanied by relatively low fluctuation.
The US stock index Dow Jones Industrial (DJI) closed at 16,826.60 points at the end of June 2014, its highest ever level at the end of a quarter. The index thus reversed the slight decline recorded in the 1st quarter to achieve a 1.5 per cent increase overall in the first six months of the current year. The Euro Stoxx 50 even rose by 3.8 per cent in the 1st half of 2014. However, the development of the individual European stock markets varied, with substantial increases on several Southern European stock markets but a generally weak development in the UK and Germany.
27 November 2014 1st to 3rd Quarter Report 2014
Despite a rather weak economic performance in the emerging markets overall, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index rose by 4.8 per cent in the 1st half of 2014. The share price performance in the Eastern European countries was weaker though. The region was impacted by uncertainties arising from the Ukraine crisis, as a result of which the CECE Eastern Europe index even posted a minimal decline in the 1st half of 2014.
The Vienna Stock Exchange made a strong start into 2014, with the leading index ATX reaching its high for the year to date in mid-January at 2,729.07 points. However, two significant corrections caused the index value to fall by more than 12 per cent to its low for the year of 2,386.96 points on 14 March 2014. After a recovery phase, the ATX dropped to below 2,400 points again in the second half of May, partly due to disappointing company figures and the tensions surrounding the elections in Ukraine. However, the ATX finally returned to just 1.8 per cent short of its level at the end of 2013 with 2,500.85 points on 30 June 2014.
In the 2nd quarter of 2014, the UNIQA share price reached its high for the year of €9.85 on 20 June, then decreased somewhat to close at €9.39 on 30 June 2014. This represents a slight increase of 1.2 per cent compared to the price at the end of 2013 (€9.28). The share performed more strongly at the start of the 3rd quarter of 2014, before dropping a little in early August and closing at €9.39 again on 4 August 2014.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
There were no events requiring reporting after the balance sheet date.
For 2014, the UNIQA Group has set itself the target of significantly increasing its profit on ordinary activities again compared with 2013. This assumes that the capital market environment will be stable, that economic development will continue to improve moderately and that losses caused by natural disasters will remain within a normal range.

As a publicly listed company, UNIQA Insurance Group AG is obliged to prepare its Consolidated Financial Statements according to internationally accepted accounting principles. These Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the period ending 30 June 2014 have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the International Accounting Standards (IAS), in the versions applicable to this reporting period. The accounting and valuation principles and consolidation methods are the same as those applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 2013 business year.
On 1 July 2008, securities previously available for sale were reclassified as other loans according to IAS 39/50E. Overall, fixed-interest securities with a book value of €2,130.2 million were reclassified. The corresponding revaluation reserve as at 30 June 2008 was minus €98.2 million. The market value as at 31 December 2013 was €812.5 million; the current market value as at 30 June 2014 amounted to €781.8 million, which corresponded to a change in market value of plus €14.3 million in the 1st half of 2014. The book value of the reclassified securities amounted to €743.1 million as at 30 June 2014 (31 December 2013: €788.1 million). In addition, an impairment of €3.5 million and an amortisation gain of €87,498 were posted in the income statement.
For creation of these Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, according to IAS 34.41, estimates are used to a greater extent than as in the annual Consolidated Financial Statements.
In addition to the interim financial statement of UNIQA Insurance Group AG, the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements include the interim financial statements of all Austrian and international subsidiaries. A total of 25 affiliated companies did not form part of the scope of consolidation. They were of only minor significance, even if taken together, for the presentation of a true and fair view of the Group's assets, financial position and income. The scope of consolidation, therefore, contains – in addition to UNIQA Insurance Group AG –127 subsidiaries in which the UNIQA Group held the majority voting rights.
The scope of consolidation was extended by six companies in the reporting period as a result of the acquisition of the Baloise Group's insurance companies in Croatia and Serbia.

The table below depicts the financial instruments for which subsequent valuation is performed at the current market value. These are divided into levels 1 to 3, depending on the extent to which the current market value can be observed.
Level 1 valuations at current market value are ones that result from listed prices (unadjusted) on active markets for identical financial assets and liabilities.
Level 2 valuations at current market value are those based on parameters that do not correspond to listed prices for assets and liabilities as in level 1 (data) and are derived either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3 valuations at current market value are those arising from models using parameters for the valuation of assets and liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable prices, assumptions).

Other shares and investments for which a valuation appraisal exists were also classified as level 3. No other level 3 assets existed as at 30 June 2014.
