Profit before taxes stable at €47 million.
The upturn in the global economy after the worst recession in post-war history began in spring 2009 and thereby entered its third year. While in spring 2011 emerging and developing countries have long again regained the road to growth they were on before the recession and financial crisis, there was still a significant gap to the growth trend prior to 2007 among the industrialised countries.
In the euro zone, the overall economic picture resembled that of the USA. In the 1st quarter, annualised growth of 2% was somewhat weaker than in previous quarters. In the 2nd quarter, growth should slightly accelerate again, but we must anticipate slowing dynamism in the second half of the year. Growth in the euro zone continues to be very uneven. The core countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, France and Austria are experiencing very strong growth, while the peripheral states are lagging behind. The best news here is that growth in Italy and Spain has founds its way out of stagnation. Greece remains in the grip of a recession, and Portugal will soon fall again into recession because of the governmental austerity measures. In Ireland, the successes remain partial; a negative quarter has followed the positive one.
Inflation in the euro zone climbed to 2.8% in April. The drivers here were the high price of oil and food. The appreciation of the euro is acting as a dampening factor, but, in contrast, tax increases in Europe are working negatively against the inflation rate. In the medium term, the risk of inflation is manageable.
The economic recovery in Eastern Europe continued. The strongest rates of growth were in Poland, Russia and the Ukraine. Climbing inflation is also a topic in Eastern Europe. In Poland and Russia, the central banks have already increased their prime rates. This increase, along with improved economic forecasts, have helped the most important currencies in Eastern Europe to appreciate against the euro. This trend will probably continue in the medium term.
The quarterly statement of the UNIQA Group was prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as well as the International Accounting Standards (IAS). This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34. The scope of fully consolidated companies was not significantly changed on 31 March 2011.
The Group premium volume written (including the savings portion from the premiums of unit- and index-linked life insurance) rose in the first three months of 2011 by 3.0 % to €1,800 million (1–3/2010: €1,748 million). Premiums in the product areas with recurring premiums rose during the period by 4.5% to €1,573 million (1–3/2010: €1,506 million). On the other hand, single premium policies declined slightly by 6.2 % to €227 million (1–3/2010: €242 million).
Including the net savings portions of the premiums from the unit- and index-linked life insurance to the value of €132 million (1–3/2010: €153 million), the premium volumes earned rose in the 1st quarter by 2.0% to € 1,512 million (1–3/2010: €1,483 million). The retained premiums earned (according to IFRS) grew by 3.8% to €1,380 million (1–3/2010: €1,330 million).
In Austria, premiums increased slightly by 1.0 % to € 1,078 million (1–3/2010: € 1,067 million), due to a fall in the area of single premium products. On the other hand, the recurring premium business recorded a remarkable increase of 3.1 % to € 1,053 million (1–3/2010: € 1,021 million) on the Austrian market in the first three months of 2011. Sales of single premium products dropped by 45.2 % to € 25 million (1–3/2010: € 46 million). In Austria, the retained premiums earned (according to IFRS) grew by 1.5 % to € 812 million (1–3/2010: € 800 million).
The premiums of the Group companies in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe grew in the first three months of 2011 by 2.7% to €330 million (1–3/2010: €321 million). Adjusted for the effects of currency developments in Eastern Europe, growth in premiums totalled 3.9%. As a result, they made up 18.3% (1–3/2010: 18.4%) of the Group premiums. The business volume in Western Europe clearly picked up speed in the 1st quarter as well, due primarily to continued strong growth in the Italian life insurance market by 9.0% to €392 million (1–3/2010: €359 million). The share of international business at the end of the 1st quarter of 2011 was a total of 40.1% (1–3/2010: 38.9%).
The premium volume written in property and casualty insurance grew in the 1st quarter of 2011 by a significant 5.5 % to € 881 million (1–3/2010: € 835 million). While premiums in Austria increased by a pleasing 3.2 % to €491 million (1–3/2010: €476 million), the countries in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe grew significantly faster, increasing their premium volumes by 7.5 % to € 223 million (1–3/2010: €208 million). These markets contributed 25.4% (1–3/2010: 24.9%) to the Group's total premiums in property and casualty insurance. In Western Europe, premium revenue even grew by 9.9% to €167 million (1–3/2010: € 151 million). This brought Western Europe's share of premiums in the 1st quarter of 2011 to 18.9 % (1–3/2010: 18.1 %). In total, the international share rose to 44.3 % (1–3/2010: 43.0 %).
The retained premiums earned (according to IFRS) in property and casualty insurance increased in the first three months of 2011 by 5.8% to €638 million (1–3/2010: €603 million).
The premiums written in health insurance rose in the reporting period by 1.1 % to € 263 million (1–3/2010: € 260 million). In Austria, the premium volume grew by 3.1 % to € 210 million (1–3/2010: € 204 million). In the international business, premiums fell slightly by 6.0 % to € 53 million (1–3/2010: € 56 million), thereby contributing 20.0 % (1–3/2010: 21.5 %) to the Group's health insurance premiums.
The retained premiums earned (according to IFRS) increased in the first three months of 2011 by 0.9 % to € 251 million (1–3/2010: € 248 million).
Overall, the premium volume written (including the savings portion from the premiums of unit- and index-linked life insurance) increased by 0.5% to € 656 million (1–3/2010: € 653 million). However, in the area of recurring premium life insurance, premiums increased in the first three months of 2011 by a very pleasing 4.5 % to € 429 million (1–3/2010: € 411 million), single premiums decreased by 6.2 % to € 227 million (1–3/2010: € 242 million). The risk premium share of unit- and index-linked life insurance included in the premiums totalled € 32 million (1–3/2010: € 27 million) in the 1st quarter of 2011.
In Austria, the premium volume written in life insurance fell by 2.7 % to € 377 million (1–3/2010: € 387 million), due to a fall in the sales of single premium products caused by the delayed onset of special products. However, premium revenue from recurring premium payments increased by 3.0 % to € 352 million (1–3/2010: € 342 million). On the other hand, single premiums were down 45.2 % to € 25 million (1–3/2010: € 46 million). The premium volume written in unit-linked and index-linked life insurance increased in the first three months of 2011 by 2.0 % to € 144 million (1–3/2010: € 141 million).
In the Western European markets, the life insurance business progressed very positively in the 1st quarter of 2011. Overall, the premiums in the first three months grew by 14.3 % to € 177 million (1–3/2010: € 155 million) due to the successful sales cooperation with the Veneto Banca Group. Both recurring premium revenues, with an increase of 1.7 % to € 29 million (1–3/2010: € 28 million), and growth in single premium business, by 17.1 % to € 148 million (1–3/2010: € 127 million), contributed positively to this development.
Life insurance was also able to make strong gains in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe in the 1st quarter of 2011. The premium volume of the UNIQA Group companies in these regions rose in the first three months by 7.6 % to € 102 million (1–3/2010: € 110 million). During the 1st quarter of 2011, single premium business dropped by 23.0 % to € 53 million (1–3/2010: € 69 million). On the other hand, recurring premiums developed very positively and grew by 18.3 % to € 49 million (1–3/2010: € 41 million). The share of Eastern Europe within the total life insurance premiums of the Group was 15.6 % (1–3/2010: 16.9 %). This put the total international share at 42.5 % (1–3/2010: 40.6 %).
Including the net savings portions of the premiums for the unit- and index-linked life insurance, the premium volume earned in life insurance in the first three months of 2011 fell by 1.3 % to € 623 million (1–3/2010: € 631 million). The retained premiums earned (according to IFRS) grew however by 2.7 % to € 491 million (1–3/2010: € 478 million).
Due to the positive developments in the area of property and casualty and the decreased allocation for the actuarial provisions and the deferred profit sharing in the life insurance business, the total amount of insurance benefits retained by the UNIQA Group in the 1st quarter of 2011 fell by 7.4% to €1,103 million (1–3/2010: €1,191 million). The insurance benefits before reinsurance sank by 6.4% to €1,139 million (1–3/2010: €1,217 million). The claims and benefits ratio across all lines sank to 72.9% (1–3/2010: 80.3%).
The claims ratio (after reinsurance) in property and casualty insurance amounted to 66.6% in the 1st quarter of 2011 due to a positive development of claims (1–3/2010: 70.9%). The insurance benefits after reinsurance fell by 0.6% to €425 million (1–3/2010: €428 million) in the reporting period. Benefits before reinsurance increased slightly by 1.6% to €441 million (1–3/2010: €434 million).
This positive development of claims caused the combined ratio after reinsurance to sink in the first three months of 2011 to 100.9% (1–3/2010: 105.0%). Before taking reinsurance into consideration, the combined ratio fell below the 100% mark, to 99.5% (1–3/2010: 101.5%).
The retained insurance benefits (including the change in the actuarial provision) increased in the first three months of 2011 by 0.6% to €224 million (1–3/2010: €222 million).
In life insurance, retained insurance benefits (including changes in actuarial provisions) sank, due to changes in actuarial provisions and adjustment of allocations to deferred profit sharing, by 16.0% to €454 million (1–3/2010: €541 million).
The total operating expenses for the insurance business, not including reinsurance commissions received, rose in the 1st quarter of 2011, primarily because of increased commission costs and increased costs for social capital, by 11.0% to €363 million (1–3/2010: €327 million). Acquisition expenses rose by 8.8% to €248 million (1–3/2010: €228 million). Other operating expenses grew by 15.9% to €115 million (1–3/2010: €99 million). As a result of this, the cost ratio, i.e. the relationship of all operating costs to the Group premiums earned, including the savings portion of the premiums from unit- and index-linked life insurance as well as the reinsurance commissions received, remained nearly unchanged after three months of 2011 at 24.0% (1–3/2010: 22.1%).
Total operating expenses in property and casualty insurance increased in the reporting period by 6.4% to €218 million (1–3/2010: €205 million). Acquisition costs increased by 3.6% to €141 million (1–3/2010: €136 million). Other operating expenses rose by 11.8% to €78 million (1–3/2010: €69 million). The cost ratio in property and casualty insurance, including the reinsurance provisions received, increased ever so slightly to 34.2% after the first three months of 2011 (1–3/2010: 34.1%).
Total operating expenses in health insurance increased in the 1st quarter of 2011 by 11.0% to €40 million (1–3/2010: €36 million). Acquisition costs fell here by 2.8% to €24 million (1–3/2010: €24 million). Other operating expenses (incl. reinsurance commissions received) were €16 million at three months into the year (1–3/2010: €12 million). The cost ratio in health insurance in the 1st quarter of 2011 was 16.0% (1–3/2010: 14.5%).
In life insurance, total operating expenses rose in the first three months of 2011 by 22.0% to €105 million (1–3/2010: €86 million). Acquisition costs increased by 23.5% to €84 million (1–3/2010: €68 million). Other operating expenses in the 1st quarter of 2011 amounted to €21 million (1–3/2010: €18 million). Including the reinsurance commissions received, the cost ratio in life insurance climbed to 16.8% as a result of this development (1–3/2010: 13.6%).
The investment portfolio of the UNIQA Group (including land and buildings used by the Group, real estate held as financial investments, shares in associated companies and the investments of unit- and index-linked life insurance) as at 31 March 2011 was above the value on the last balance sheet date by €158 million at €24,404 million (31 Dec. 2010: €24,246 million). Net investment income fell in the first three months of 2011 by 29.9% to €175 million (1–3/2010: €250 million) primarily due to a negative currency effect from investments in US dollars.
The profit on ordinary activities of the UNIQA Group (before consideration of the Hungarian special tax for the financial sector) increased slightly by 1.5% to €46 million (1–3/2010: €46 million) after three months of 2011 compared with the same period of the previous year. Net profit climbed by 15.3% to €34 million (1–3/2010: €29 million). Consolidated Group profit grew by 17.2% to €27 million (1–3/2010: €23 million). The earnings per share were at €0.19 (1–3/2010: €0.16).
The total equity of the UNIQA Group increased in the first three months of 2011 by €11 million compared to the last balance sheet date to reach €1,548 million (31 Dec. 2010: €1,537 million). This included minority interests amounting to €248 million (31 Dec. 2010: €245 million). The total assets of the Group as at 31 March 2011 were €29,029 million (31 Dec. 2010: €28,695 million).
The cash flow from operating activities sank in the 1st quarter of 2011 to €414 million (1–3/2010: €446 million). Cash flow from investing activities of the UNIQA Group, corresponding to the investment of revenue inflow during the reporting period, amounted to €–350 million (1–3/2010: €–581 million). The financing cash flow was €0 million (1–3/2010: €0 million). In total, the amount of liquid funds changed by € 64 million (1–3/2010: €–135 million).
The average number of employees in the UNIQA Group fell slightly in the 1st quarter of 2011, due to the conversion of employee contracts in Serbia, to 15,025 (1–3/2010: 15,120).
The premium volume written (including the savings portion of premiums from unit-linked and index-linked life insurance) outside of Austria increased during the 1st quarter of 2011 by 6.0% to €721 million (1–3/2010: €680 million). In Western Europe, the business volume rose by 9.0% to €392 million (1–3/2010: €359 million). The companies in Eastern and South-Eastern Europe were also able to increase their premiums during the first three months of the current year. In these regions, the premium income grew by 2.7% to €330 million (1–3/2010: €321 million). This put the level of internationalisation of the UNIQA Group, measured based on premium volume, at 40.1% (1–3/2010: 38.9%). The share of Eastern Europe reached 18.3% (1–3/2010: 18.4%), while Western Europe's share was 21.8% (1–3/2010: 20.6%). Total retained insurance benefits in the international Group companies fell in the 1st quarter of 2011 by 0.2% to €450 million (1–3/2010: €451 million). Operating expenses, not including reinsurance commissions received, rose by 8.8% to €144 million (1–3/2010: €132 million).
At the beginning of 2011, the previous year's volatile yet positive market trends continued. Despite political uncertainties in the Middle East – which have driven oil prices farther up and thereby accelerated inflation – and mixed situation concerning macroeconomic developments in the industrialised countries, the most important global stock exchanges were able to post overall gains in the middle of the 1st quarter. After a brief phase of lateral development, prices dropped significantly worldwide as the earthquake of 11 March 2011 on the coast of Japan led to major flood damage and technical problems in several of Japan's nuclear reactors. Although markets were able to recover in the last days of the quarter, most exchanges were unable to return to the quarter's high points.
At 31 March 2011, the U.S. stock exchange's DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL (DJI) index reached 12,319.73 points to close 6.4% above the level at the end of 2010. Good corporate results and signs of a consolidating recovery in the USA led to this favourable development. Developments in Europe, however, were not as positive. Continuing worries about the creditworthiness of countries on the European periphery, as well as expectations of a prime rate increase by the European Central Bank, have had a dampening effect. Under these conditions, the DJ EURO STOXX 50 came out relatively well with an increase of 4.2% to 2,910.91 points. Multiple insecurities tamped down price developments in emerging market stock exchanges in general. Thanks to robust growth forecasts and favourable debt ratios, the CEE countries were able to record comparatively good developments: the CECE Index rose by 3.4% to 2,186.71 points.
The Vienna Stock Exchange was able to post a price level increase in the first weeks of the quarter, closing for the first time at over 3,000 points again on 14 March 2011. In harmony with global price developments, there was a significant correction in March, and recovery was not quite completed by the end of the quarter. The ATX leading index remained slightly below the year-end numbers for 2010, falling by 0.8% at the end of March 2011 to 2,882.18 points.
UNIQA shares were able to outperform the ATX significantly in the 1st quarter of 2011; on 31 March, shares stood at €15.98 . This is an increase of 8.7% over the year-end result for 2010. On 16 May 2011, UNIQA shares stood at €15.41. Compared to the beginning of the year, this represents a rise of 4.8%.
No events requiring disclosure took place after the balance sheet date.
Under the prerequisite of anticipated normalisation of international profits and stable domestic profit development, we are assuming that 2011 will deliver further improvement in our operating profits. Underlying assumptions include significant reductions compared to 2010 in claims due to natural disasters, stable capital markets, and a positive economic environment.

As a publicly listed company, UNIQA Versicherungen AG is obligated to prepare its consolidated financial statements according to internationally accepted accounting principles. These consolidated interim financial statements for the period ending 31 March 2011, 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 2010 business year.
On 1 July 2008, securities previously available for sale were reclassified according to IAS 39/50E as other loans. Overall, fixed-interest securities with a book value of €2,130 million were reclassified. The corresponding revaluation reserve as at 30 June 2008 was €–98 million. The market value as at 31 December 2010 was €1,346 million, the current market value as at 31 March 2011 amounted to €1,265 million, which corresponded to a change in market value of €18 million in the 1st quarter of 2011. In addition, an amortisation gain of €245,000 and an impairment of €91,000 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 financial statements.
In addition to the interim financial statement of UNIQA Versicherungen AG, the Group interim financial statements include the interim financial statements of all subsidiaries in Austria and abroad. A total of 38 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 Versicherungen AG – 47 domestic and 83 foreign subsidiaries in which UNIQA Versicherungen AG held the majority voting rights.
The reporting currency of UNIQA Versicherungen AG is the euro. All financial statements of foreign subsidiaries which are not reported in euros are converted, at the rate on the balance sheet closing date, according to the following guidelines:
Resulting exchange rate differences are set off against the shareholders' equity without affecting income.
