Financial targets for 2021-2023 announced at the Capital Markets Day on 24 February 2021.
January-June 2022 effects related to the COVID-19 pandemic have been very limited; hence, these will not be reported separately. For further information, please see section Other developments.
Sampo Group's core business, P&C insurance continued its strong performance and achieved an underwriting profit of EUR 679 million (658) in January-June 2022. Underwriting profit growth was 3 per cent year-on-year or 17 per cent adjusted for COVID-19 effects reported in the first half of 2021. The Group combined ratio was strong at 81.1 per cent (80.7), supported by solid underlying development and higher discount rates. The increase on prior year was driven by the unwind of COVID-19 effects, excluding which the combined ratio would have improved by 1.7 percentage points year-on-year. Gross written premiums increased by 7 per cent to EUR 4,769 million, supported by strong renewals, high retention and rate actions across the business, but particularly in Industrial lines. Sampo targets mid-single digit per cent underwriting profit growth on average and a combined ratio below 86 per cent for 2021-2023.
If P&C had a robust first half as its underwriting profit increased by 18 per cent year-on-year to EUR 522 million (442). The growth was driven by 2.2 percentage points improvement in the combined ratio to 78.9 per cent (81.1) and currency adjusted premium growth of 7.5 per cent. Premium development was supported by broad based growth, with Industrial and the Baltics seeing particularly notable positive development. If's adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.6 percentage points year-on-year and profit before taxes increased to EUR 662 million (566).
Topdanmark's profit before taxes decreased to EUR 60 million (208) in Sampo Group's profit and loss account, mainly driven by investment returns being affected by the challenging market environment. The combined ratio was 84.2 per cent (82.2).
Hastings has remained disciplined in a challenging UK motor insurance market in which pricing is not keeping up with elevated market wide claims inflation. As a result, overall policy count remained broadly stable over the first half at 3.2 million, despite 22 per cent growth in the home insurance book where the company is strongly positioned. Gross written premiums grew by 6 per cent on a currency adjusted basis as Hastings increased prices to cover claims inflation. The operating ratio increased to 88.6 per cent (76.5), driven by the unwind of COVID-19 effects and high claims inflation. Hastings' profit before taxes excluding non-operational amortisation amounted to EUR 55 million (105) and reported profit before taxes was EUR 25 million (85).
Mandatum segment's profit before taxes for the first half of 2022 decreased to EUR 116 million (141), as the investment result was adversely affected by a reduction in realised gains. Despite positive net flows of EUR 254 million, lower market values led to a decline in Mandatum's unit-linked and other client assets under management to EUR 10.3 billion from EUR 11.1 billion at the year-end 2021 and EUR 10.9 billion at the end of the first quarter. Mandatum Life's Solvency II ratio grew to 255 per cent (190), driven by a sharply decreased solvency capital requirement.
Holding segment's profit before taxes amounted to EUR 203 million (343), including a dividend of EUR 157 million from Nordea and a gain of EUR 103 million from selling all the remaining Nordea shares during the first half of 2022.
On 9 June 2022, Sampo launched a third buyback programme of EUR 1 billion, starting on 10 June and ending no later than 8 February 2023. In addition Sampo announced that management intends to propose to the Board of Directors a second distribution of capital in the form of a share buyback programme or extra dividend, or a combination thereof, in connection with the publication of the 2022 financial result. Prior to the launch of the latest buyback programme, Sampo had already completed its first two buyback programmes. In total, Sampo repurchased 15.7 million shares for a total of EUR 687 million in the first half.
Sampo Group's Solvency II ratio increased to 233 per cent from 185 per cent at the end of 2021 and 200 per cent at the end of March 2022, net of dividend accrual based on the 2021 insurance dividend of EUR 1.70 per share and the new buyback programme of EUR 1 billion. The increase of 33 percentage points from the end of the first quarter was driven by robust underwriting profit, the Nordea-exit and higher interest rates. Sampo targets a solvency ratio of 170-190 per cent.
Sampo Group's financial leverage increased to 29.2 per cent from 23.8 per cent at the end of 2021 and 24.8 per cent at the end of March 2022. The increase was driven by the payment of the annual dividend, executed share buybacks and adverse asset value development taken through other comprehensive income. Sampo targets a financial leverage below 30 per cent.
In April-June 2022, Sampo Group reported profit before taxes of EUR 499 million (710) and earnings per share of EUR 0.75 (0.99). Excluding the positive accounting effect from the Nordea-exit, which will be defined as extraordinary in accordance with Sampo Group's dividend policy, profit before taxes amounted to EUR 424 million and EPS to EUR 0.61. The total comprehensive income, taking changes in the market value of assets into account, decreased to EUR -292 million (745) due to the adverse development in the financial markets. EPS including OCI amounted to EUR -0.57 (1.27).
The Group's underwriting profit increased by 14 per cent year-on-year to EUR 389 million (341). Excluding COVID-19 effects reported in the comparison period, underwriting profit grew by 29 per cent. The Group combined ratio amounted to 78.9 per cent (80.2).
If P&C's profit before taxes increased to EUR 379 million (309), while underwriting profit increased by 26 per cent to EUR 288 million (229). If's combined ratio improved to 77.1 per cent (80.7) and gross written premiums increased 8.4 per cent on a currency adjusted basis. Excluding the impact of large losses, severe weather, reported COVID-19 effects and prior year development, the adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year.
Topdanmark's profit before taxes decreased to EUR 23 million (71) and the combined ratio increased to 80.7 per cent (79.7).
Hastings' profit before taxes amounted to EUR 23 million (38) and the operating ratio was 85.5 per cent (78.8). Live customer policy count was broadly stable over the quarter as growth in home insurance was offset by a disciplined approach to underwriting in motor insurance.
Mandatum segment's profit before taxes decreased to EUR 35 million (65).
GROUP CEO'S COMMENT
Our performance in the first half of 2022 showed the benefits of our resilient P&C insurance business, diversification and strong balance sheet, allowing us to deliver robust results despite challenging capital markets and macroeconomic conditions. We were also able to reach a key strategic milestone by completing the exit from Nordea and we continued to return excess capital.
Our P&C insurance operations delivered a very strong result for the first half of 2022, particularly in the Nordics where If P&C achieved currency adjusted premium growth of 7.5 per cent, a combined ratio of 78.9 per cent and growth in underwriting profit of 18 per cent. At Group-level, we are tracking well ahead of all our financial targets.
The Nordic P&C insurance market remains competitive but disciplined, supporting necessary rate increases. As expected, claims inflation has ticked up over the past quarter and now stands at just above four per cent, but this has been prudently covered with rate increases. We continue to monitor claims trends carefully and will react with further price adjustments, should these be needed.
If P&C's Nordic Industrial business has had an excellent first half of the year, with currency adjusted premium growth of 23 per cent and a combined ratio of 85.6 per cent. Conditions in the Nordic Industrial market are currently compelling following a withdrawal of capacity by some competitors, which has allowed us to increase rates to attractive levels over recent years. We have a leading position in Nordic Industrial lines, supported by long-term relationships with our customers, differentiated technical skills and substantial economies of scale.
Looking to the UK, conditions are more challenging, with competitive pricing and high claims inflation in the motor market. Despite this, our UK subsidiary Hastings has delivered a robust January–June 2022 result with price-led currency adjusted premium growth of 6 per cent and a solid operating ratio of 88.6 per cent. The relatively strong performance reflects Hastings' commitment to underwriting discipline, aligned with that of the broader Sampo Group, and its positioning as a modern insurer with a lean and agile operating platform. Looking to the second half of 2022, we will remain focused on increasing rates to protect margins in motor insurance, while looking for opportunities to build on the 22 per cent growth we achieved in home insurance.
Turning to the asset side of the balance sheet, the picture in the first half of the year was mixed from Sampo's perspective. The broad sell-off observed in the period has had a negative impact on mark-to-market investment returns, although the effect has been mitigated by the exit from Nordea. It is on the asset side that Sampo has seen the main effects of Russia's invasion of Ukraine; even though we have no direct investment exposures to the region, the conflict is adding to capital markets volatility.
On a more positive note, Sampo is well-positioned to benefit from higher interest rates, due to the short duration of our fixed income portfolio. We have seen an increase in the running yield of our Nordic P&C fixed income portfolio by 0.5 percentage points to 2.1 per cent over the second quarter, and we expect it to continue to rise over 2022 and 2023, assuming yields stay at least at current levels.
Following the exit from Nordea, Sampo is in an excess capital position; in line with our commitment to running an efficient balance sheet, we therefore launched a EUR 1 billion share buyback programme in June. Before this latest programme, we had already returned EUR 1 billion capital via two earlier share buyback programmes and EUR 2.2 billion through the 2021 dividend.
To conclude, I am pleased with what we have achieved in the first half of 2022 and consider the Group to be in a strong position to create shareholder value going forward.
Group CEO and President
OUTLOOK
Sampo Group's P&C insurance operations are expected to achieve underwriting margins that meet the annual targets set for 2021-2023. At Group level, Sampo targets a combined ratio of below 86 per cent, while the target for its largest subsidiary, If P&C, is below 85 per cent. Hastings targets an operating ratio of below 88 per cent. Following strong performance in the first half, the outlook for If P&C's 2022 combined ratio has been improved to 80.5–82.5 per cent from 82-84 per cent at the end of the first quarter.
The combined and operating ratios of Sampo Group's P&C insurance operations are subject to volatility driven by, among other factors, seasonal weather patterns, large claims, prior year development and fluctuations in claims frequency related to the COVID-19 pandemic. These effects are particularly relevant for individual segments and business areas, such as the Danish and UK operations.
The mark-to-market component of investment returns will be significantly influenced by capital markets' developments, particularly in life insurance.
With regard to Topdanmark, reference is made to the profit forecast model that the company publishes on a quarterly basis.
In its current day-to-day business activities Sampo Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties, mainly through its major business units.
Major risks affecting the Group companies' profitability and its variation are market, credit, insurance and operational risks. At the Group level, sources of risks are the same, although they are not directly additive due to the effects of diversification.
Uncertainties in the form of major unforeseen events may have an immediate impact on the Group's profitability. The identification of unforeseen events is easier than the estimation of their probabilities, timing, and potential outcomes. After the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic a combination of fiscal and monetary stimulus, supply chain problems and elevated demand for consumer goods have led to high levels of inflation, with energy and product prices being particularly affected. During 2022 the war in Ukraine has created a new negative supply shock for the global economy. As a result, inflation pressures have intensified and broadened forcing central banks to start tightening monetary policy, which may lead to both a significant slowdown in economic growth and a deterioration in the debt service capacity of businesses, households and governments. These developments are currently causing significant uncertainties on economic and capital market development. There are also a number of widely identified macroeconomic, political and other sources of uncertainty which can, in various ways, affect the financial services industry in a negative manner.
Other sources of uncertainty are unforeseen structural changes in the business environment and already identified trends and potential wide-impact events. These external drivers may have a long-term impact on how Sampo Group's business will be conducted. Examples of identified trends are demographic changes, sustainability issues, and technological developments in areas such as artificial intelligence and digitalisation including threats posed by cybercrime.
If P&C is the leading property and casualty insurer in the Nordic region, where it offers solutions in all major lines of business through its four business areas; Private, Commercial, Industrial and Baltic. If's business model is based on high customer satisfaction, best in class underwriting and leveraging the scale benefits that its unified Nordic model offers. Excellent digital sales and service capabilities are a core part of If's strategy, particularly in the Private and SME Commercial market segments.

If P&C reported an underwriting result of EUR 522 million (442) for the first half of 2022, representing 18 per cent growth year-on-year. This was driven by a 2.2 percentage points improvement in the combined ratio to 78.9 per cent (81.1) and currency adjusted premium growth of 7.5 per cent. The result is ahead of If P&C's financial targets for 2021-2023 of mid-single digit growth in underwriting profit and a combined ratio below 85 per cent.
In the second quarter, If P&C delivered underwriting profit of EUR 288 million (229) – a 26 per cent increase year-on-year. Premiums grew by 8.4 per cent on a currency adjusted basis while the combined ratio improved by 3.6 percentage points to 77.1 per cent (80.7).
If P&C reported gross written premiums, GWP, of EUR 3,267 million (3,045) in the first six months. Excluding currency effects, premiums grew by 7.5 per cent year-on-year, driven by exceptional growth in Industrial and the Baltics. Growth was robust across the business areas and driven primarily by rate increases, high retention and an increase in customer count. Currency adjusted premium growth in the second quarter stood at 8.4 per cent.
First half currency adjusted GWP growth in If P&C's Private business was 2.9 per cent driven by rate increases, positive development in the number of customers and continued strong retention at 90 per cent, while low new car sales continued to have an adverse effect. Geographically, Norway and Finland contributed the most. Currency adjusted premium growth in the second quarter stood at 2.4 per cent, supported by a rebound in travel insurance volumes.
In the first six months, Nordic new car sales continued to suffer with sales down by 19 per cent. In If's largest market Sweden new car sales declined 17 per cent year-on-year. However, the customer base in Sweden continued to grow despite less support from the motor segment. Excluding the Swedish mobility business, currency adjusted GWP growth in January–June was 5.6 per cent in Private and 9.2 per cent for If P&C as a whole. For the second quarter standalone, these figures stood at 5.3 per cent and 11.0 per cent, respectively.
Currency adjusted GWP growth in If P&C's Commercial business in January–June 2022 was 5.0 per cent yearon-year. The positive development was supported by healthy growth in all countries, with Sweden and Norway being particularly strong. Rate actions, continued improved retention and positive development in number of customers contributed to growth. Second quarter currency adjusted GWP growth was 5.9 per cent.
In the first half of 2022 If P&C's Industrial business saw very strong GWP growth of 22.8 per cent on a currency adjusted basis. Growth was primarily driven by strong renewals with significant rate actions and improved retention. Rate increases continued in all countries, with the largest contribution coming from the property segment. Geographically, each country showed double-digit GWP growth year-on-year with strongest development in Denmark and Norway. Currency adjusted premium growth in the second quarter stood at 33.2 per cent.
If P&C's Baltic business delivered very strong currency adjusted GWP growth of 22.8 per cent in January–June 2022. Growth was very strong in all three Baltic countries with continued rate increases, high retention and growing customer base. Second quarter premium growth was 23.7 per cent.
If P&C's January–June 2022 combined ratio of 78.9 per cent was 2.2 percentage points better year-on-year (81.1), driven by an improvement in the adjusted risk ratio and higher prior year gains, partly offset by a nonrepeat of COVID-19 effects. The second quarter combined ratio of 77.1 per cent improved 3.6 percentage points year-on-year (80.7) supported by favourable large claims outcome and strong prior year development.
In the second quarter of 2022, the large claims budget was increased to reflect growth in business volumes in the Industrial business area; restating for this, large claims would have been 1.1 percentage points and 2.0 percentage points above budget in the first half and second quarter of 2021, respectively, measured as a percentage of net earned premiums. In the first six months 2022 large claims were 0.1 percentage points better than expected – an improvement of 1.2 percentage points compared to the same period last year. In the second quarter large claims reported were 1.7 percentage points better than expected, and 3.7 percentage points better than the same period last year (the second quarter of 2021 was negatively affected by large claims in Industrial Property).
In the first half of 2022 severe weather claims were 0.4 percentage points worse than expected and 0.1 percentage points better year-on-year. The severe weather effects reported were related to major winter storms in the first quarter. No severe weather claims were reported in the second quarter, nor in the comparison period.
As COVID-19 effects in the first six months of 2022 were very limited, no quantitative estimate is provided. However, in the comparison period January–June 2021, COVID-19 effects supported the combined ratio by some 3 percentage points. The corresponding figure for the second quarter of 2021 was also 3 percentage points.
In the period of January–June 2022 the development on prior year reserves supported the combined ratio by 6.6 percentage points (4.0). The positive development related to changes in the mortality model in Finland and increased discount rates on annuity reserves. In the second quarter, prior year gains amounted to 5.3 percentage points (4.0), driven largely by higher discount rates, including a 0.25 percentage point increase in the Finnish discount rate to 1.0 per cent.
In the first six months risk ratio improved by 1.4 percentage points to 58.5 per cent (59.9). The adjusted risk ratio, which excludes the impact of large losses, severe weather, reported COVID-19 effects and prior year development, improved by approximately 0.6 percentage points year-on-year. The second quarter saw a 2.3 percentage points year-on-year improvement to 56.5 per cent (58.8) in the risk ratio. In the same period the adjusted risk ratio improved by 0.5 percentage points.
The January–June 2022 cost ratio improved by 0.8 percentage points to 20.4 per cent (21.2), while the second quarter cost ratio was 20.6 per cent (21.9). The cost ratio development benefited more from stronger growth in premium volumes than costs.

Hastings delivered solid performance in the six months to 30 June 2022, prioritising pricing discipline in the face of market wide claims inflation of 10-12 per cent.
Gross written premiums increased 6 per cent year-on-year on a currency adjusted basis to EUR 605 million (554). Hastings has applied price increases ahead of the market, leading to lower written motor insurance volumes during the six months to 30 June 2022. Market prices have risen slightly during the second quarter, but at insufficient levels to cover claims inflation. Hastings has complied fully with the General Insurance Pricing Practises (GIPP) reform, which came into effect on 1 January 2022, and expects to become a net beneficiary versus its competitors over time.
The number of live customer policies ('LCP') increased during the first half of the year from 3.1 million at 31 December 2021 to nearly 3.2 million at 30 June 2022, equating to year-on-year growth of 3 per cent. This increase largely reflects the growth in home insurance, up 22 per cent year-on-year to over 355,000 policies supported by new data and pricing capabilities. Motor LCP remains largely constant, reflecting the cautious stance taken on pricing.
The calendar year loss ratio for January-June 2022 was 75.4 per cent (63.4), with the increase on prior year being driven by a reduction in COVID-19 related effects and elevated claims inflation. The latter is driven by increasing general inflation across all claim types including repairs, total losses, theft, third party costs and bodily injury. These adverse effects have been partially offset by a reduction in small bodily injury claims following the May 2021 whiplash reforms.
The operating ratio for January-June 2022 increased to 88.6 per cent from 76.5 per cent in the prior year, in line with the increase in the loss ratio.
Profit before taxes for January-June 2022 amounted to EUR 25 million (85) net of EUR 30 million (20) charge for amortisation of non-operational intangibles arising from the Sampo acquisition.
Good progress continues to be made in the delivery of strategic and operational initiatives. During the second quarter, investment has continued in pricing, claims and digital adoption in particular. Hastings remains well placed to respond to the current inflationary pressures and competitive market environment.

Mandatum segment's profit before taxes amounted to EUR 116 million (141) in first half of 2022. The total comprehensive income after taxes, which reflects changes in the market value of assets, was EUR -243 million (238).
The market environment was particularly challenging during the first half of 2022 and characterised by high volatility and decreasing market values tolerably within all asset classes. Mandatum's investment result taken through the P&L decreased to EUR 83 million (117), whereas the fair value investment result amounted to EUR -350 million (273). The mark-to-market investment return was -7.8 per cent in January-June 2022.
In the Solvency II calculation, Mandatum Life's own funds development remained slightly positive as higher interest rates offset the weak fair value investment result. Meanwhile, the solvency capital requirement decreased sharply mainly due to a reduction in the symmetric adjustment and lower asset values, leading to a record high Solvency II ratio of 255 per cent, up from 190 per cent at the end of 2021 and 216 per cent at the end of March 2022.
Adverse market movements drove a decline in Mandatum's third-party assets under management to EUR 10.3 billion at the end of June from EUR 11.1 billion at the year-end 2021 and EUR 10.9 billion at the end of the first quarter. However, net flows were slightly positive in the second quarter and in total EUR 254 in the first half of 2022.
Mandatum's operational result (expense result and result from Asset Management) was strong at EUR 22 million (10). The risk result increased to EUR 16 million (11).
Mandatum's with-profit liabilities with guarantees of 3.5 and 4.5 per cent decreased by EUR 80 million to EUR 1.7 billion (1.7). In total, with-profit reserves were EUR 3.1 billion (3.2) at the end of June 2022. Discount rate reserves decreased to EUR 243 million (274), as no new reserves were added during the first half. The discount rate is 0.25 per cent for years 2022-2025 and 0.75 per cent for 2026.

Holding segment's profit before taxes for January-June 2022 decreased to EUR 203 million (343).
Sampo completed the exit from Nordea during the second quarter, and the positive accounting effect from the transactions on Sampo's consolidated statement of profit and loss was EUR 75 million for the quarter and EUR 103 million for the first half. More information about the transactions is available under the section Exit from Nordea.
Sampo's share of Nordax's profit amounted to EUR 7 million (9) in January-June 2022. Holding segment's finance costs were increased mostly due to an effect of EUR -23 million from changes in derivatives' values and currency exchange rates in January-June 2022.
On 29 April 2022, Sampo sold its remaining Nordea holding through an accelerated bookbuild offering of 200 million shares. Before the bookbuild offering, Sampo had already sold 19 million shares in open market in the first quarter and 27 million shares in the second quarter of 2022.
The transactions generated total gross proceeds of EUR 2.3 billion, of which EUR 2.1 billion was raised in the second quarter. The positive accounting effect from the transactions on Sampo's consolidated statement of profit and loss was EUR 103 million, of which EUR 75 million was booked for the second quarter. The effect will be treated as an extraordinary item in the calculation of Sampo's dividend payout ratio for 2022.
In connection with the completion of the Nordea exit on 29 April 2022, Sampo disclosed that management intends to propose to the Board that a new share buyback programme is launched after the Annual General Meeting on 18 May 2022, subject to the AGM renewing the Board authorisation on share repurchases.
On 9 June 2022, Sampo's Board resolved to launch a EUR 1 billion buyback programme based on the authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting. The maximum number of shares that can be repurchased is 30 million, corresponding to 5.6 per cent of the total number of shares in Sampo. The buyback programme started on 10 June 2022 and will end no later than 8 February 2023.
In addition, Sampo announced that the management intends to propose to the Board of Directors a second distribution of capital in the form of a share buyback programme or extra dividend, or a combination thereof, in connection with the publication of the 2022 financial result on 10 February 2023.
Sampo Group's Solvency II ratio increased by 41 percentage points to 245 per cent at the end of June 2022 from 204 per cent at the end of the first quarter of 2022 and 60 percentage points from 185 per cent at the year-end.
The increase in the ratio in the second quarter was primarily driven by the disposal of the remainder of Nordea shares, rising interest rates and robust underwriting result. The Nordea exit's positive impact was 29 percentage points. Offsetting this, the ongoing EUR 1 billion share buyback programme had a negative impact of 19 percentage points in the ratio. Including the accrued dividend of EUR 1.70 per share, the solvency ratio was 233 per cent.
Sampo Group targets a Solvency II ratio between 170 and 190 per cent.
Sampo Group targets financial leverage below 30 per cent. Financial leverage is calculated as Group's financial debt divided by the sum of IFRS equity and financial debt. On 30 June 2022, the financial leverage ratio for Sampo Group was 29.2 per cent, an increase of 5.4 percentage points from 23.8 per cent at the year-end 2021 and by 4.4 percentage points from the end of the first quarter. The rise in financial leverage was driven by a reduction in shareholders' equity related to the payment of the full year dividend, the execution of buyback programmes and the negative mark-to-market result on investments (taken mainly through other comprehensive income).
Sampo Group IFRS shareholders equity amounted to EUR 10,023 million at the end of June compared to EUR 13,464 million at the year-end. Gross debt decreased by EUR 70 million to EUR 4,141 million.

The geopolitical uncertainty continued in the second quarter, driven partly by Russia's invasion into Ukraine. Sampo Group's insurance exposures in the affected region are limited to certain Nordic industrial lines clients, with coverage subject to war exclusions. On the asset side, Sampo has no material direct investments in Russia or Ukraine.
Given the limited direct exposure, the biggest risk from the war in Ukraine to Sampo relates to second order capital markets and macroeconomic effects. Volatility and uncertainty in the capital markets have continued to increase during the second quarter. The Group carries substantial market risk exposures via its strategic investments and through insurance company investment portfolios and liabilities, which may be adversely affected by market shocks. This risk taking is supported by financial buffers calibrated to withstand volatility, and Sampo operated above its target financial strength levels at the end of the second quarter.
Macroeconomic effects could also have an impact on Sampo's operational business, for example by reducing economic growth, aggravating supply chain problems and inflating commodity prices. These considerations are particularly relevant as supply chain disruption and high inflation had already become established prior to the invasion following the COVID-19 pandemic and associated monetary and fiscal stimulus programmes. Sampo's insurance business has continued to be resilient to these effects again in the second quarter.
In the Nordic and Baltic countries, COVID-19 effects in the second quarter were materially below the levels observed over 2021. Given the limited impact of COVID-19 and the increasing difficulty in reliably estimating associated effects, Sampo no longer discloses quantitative COVID-19 effects in 2022 financial reporting.
A total of EUR 73 million (66), including social costs, was paid as short-term incentives in January - June 2022 in Sampo Group. In the same period, a total of 14 million (3) was paid as long-term incentives. The increase in long-term incentive payouts is due to the vesting of several incentive plans in Hastings during the second quarter of 2022. The long-term incentive schemes in force in Sampo Group produced a negative result impact of EUR -11 million (-11). The terms of the long-term incentive schemes based on financial instruments of Sampo plc are available at www.sampo.com/incentiveterms.
In February 2022, Sampo Group published its Remuneration Report for Governing Bodies 2021 at www.sampo.com/remunerationreport/. The report has been prepared in accordance with the Corporate Governance Code 2020, issued by the Securities Market Association and effective from 1 January 2020. The remuneration of the Group Executive Committee members (excluding the Group CEO) can be viewed at www.sampo.com/remuneration\_executive\_committee.
The average number of Sampo Group's employees (FTE) in January-June 2022 amounted to 13,586 (13,266). On 30 June 2022, the total number of staff in Sampo Group was 13,697 (13,374).

1) The Group solvency is calculated according to the consolidation method defined in the Solvency II Directive (2009/138/EC). 2) The key figures for P&C Insurance are based on activity based costs and cannot, therefore, be calculated directly from the consolidated income statement.
3) Will be used as basis for setting dividends in accordance with the dividend policy.
The number of shares used at the balance sheet date was 531,094,597 and as the average number during the financial period 538,279,471.
In calculating the key figures the tax corresponding to the result for the accounting period has been taken into account. In the net asset value per share, the Group valuation difference on the listed subsidiary Topdanmark has been taken into account. The comparison year includes also the valuation difference of associate at the time Nordea.

Sampo Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted by the EU. The interim financial statements are presented in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. In preparing the interim financial statements, the same accounting policies and methods of computation are applied as in the financial statements for 2021.
The applied standards and interpretations are described in Sampo's accounting policies for the financial year 2021. The financial statements are available on Sampo's website www.sampo.com/year2021.
Non-current assets held for sale
In March 2022, Sampo's subsidiary Topdanmark Forsikgring announced an intention to sell Topdanmark Forsikring's life and pension business ('Topdanmark Life') to Nordea. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval. In Sampo Group, Topdanmark Life's operations have been reported as part of Topdanmark segment.
In accordance with the view of management, the sale is highly probable within the next 12 months. In Sampo Group, assets and liabilities related to Topdanmark Life's operations were classified to non-current assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
Additional information on the reclassification of Topdanmark Life is included in the note 15 Non-current assets held for sale.
In February 2021, Sampo's Board of Directors announced an intention statement to materially reduce Sampo's holding in Nordea over the following 18 months. In October 2021, Nordea's shares were classified to noncurrent assets held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations.
On 29 April 2022, Sampo sold its remaining Nordea holding through an accelerated bookbuild offering of 200 million shares. Before the bookbuild offering, Sampo had already sold 19 million shares in open market in the first quarter and 27 million shares in the second quarter of 2022. The sale of Nordea shares ended the classification of shares as non-current assets held for sale.
The transactions generated total gross proceeds of EUR 2.3 billion, of which EUR 2.1 billion was raised in the second quarter. The positive accounting effect from the transactions on Sampo's consolidated statement of profit and loss was EUR 103 million, of which EUR 75 million was booked for the second quarter.
Sampo Group will apply IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments from 1 January 2023. The application of these new accounting standards is not expected to have any impact on the economics of Sampo's business or on capital management, nor any substantial quantitative effect on the shareholders' equity. Sampo Group's operations are focused on the P&C business and Sampo will mainly use the premium allocation approach under IFRS 17. Although it is a simplified version of the IFRS 17 general measurement model, it will require changes in the calculation of technical liabilities, including setting-up an explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk. However, based on preliminary estimates, these are not expected to have a significant negative effect on the shareholders' equity.
The application of IFRS 9 is not expected to have significant impacts on Sampo Group's balance sheet, as the main part of financial assets is currently reported at fair value in the balance sheet. However, during future reporting periods, the fair value changes of financial instruments will be recognised in the statement of profit or loss, which is expected to increase earnings volatility.
Implementation of IFRS 17 or IFRS 9 is not expected to have an impact on the application of Solvency II calculations.
The standard was adopted by the European Union on 19 November 2021, except for an optional exemption from applying annual cohort requirement for groups of contracts. Sampo Group is not planning to apply the exemption.
IFRS 17 will replace the current IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosures of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 is applied to insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts as well as to certain investment contracts with discretionary participation features. Under IFRS 17 the measurement of insurance contracts is based on the general measurement model applicable to all insurance contracts to measure insurance contract liabilities. Under the general measurement model insurance contracts are measured based on present value of future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money, including a risk adjustment and a contractual service margin. The contractual service margin represents the unearned profit that will be recognised in the statement of profit or loss when services are provided during future periods. At each reporting date, the fulfilment cash flows are remeasured using current assumptions.
Under IFRS 17 the variable fee approach is to be applied to direct participating insurance contracts. The variable fee approach represents a modification from the general measurement model where the treatment of Contractual Service Margin (CSM) is modified.
When certain criteria are met, insurers may apply a simplified approach, premium allocation approach (PAA), for the measurement of insurance contracts. Under this approach, the measurement of liability for remaining coverage is based on premiums received, which represents a simplification of the general measurement model. The premium allocation approach is eligible for insurance contracts with a coverage period of one year or less, or for contracts where the measurement based on this approach (PAA) would not differ materially from the measurement achieved under the general measurement model. Sampo Group has continued to assess the possible impacts of IFRS 17 during the reporting period and determined that the premium allocation approach will be applied in the Group's non-life companies. All three measurement models are to be applied in the life business. The variable fee approach will mainly be applied to unit-linked insurance contracts.
The implementation of IFRS 17 is expected to lead to significant changes in the presentation and the extent of disclosures in the financial statements. In the balance sheet Sampo Group's life operations' insurance contracts will be classified either as insurance liabilities under IFRS 17 or investment contract liabilities under IFRS 9. Insurance finance income or expenses are expected to be presented fully in the statement of profit or loss, and thus, the OCI option, allowed by the standard, will not be applied.
On transition to IFRS 17 a full retrospective approach and restatement of previous year's comparatives is required. However, if the application of a full retrospective approach is impracticable, then both a modified retrospective approach and a fair value approach may be applied. Based on the current view, a full retrospective approach will be applied in the Group's non-life companies whereas all transition methods are expected to be applied in the Group's life company.
During the reporting period Sampo Group has conducted a preliminary calculation of the opening balance 1 January 2022 under IFRS 17. Based on the preliminary calculation, the net transition impact on the IFRS 17 opening balance sheet is not expected to be significant. The indicative results of the calculations suggest that both assets and liabilities are expected to decrease mainly due to reclassifications of premium receivables and deferred acquisition costs from other assets to insurance liabilities. In addition, a significant part of life insurance liabilities will be in scope of IFRS 9, for which CSM does not apply, and hence, the CSM is expected to be relatively limited initially and to decrease further as the Group's with profits business continues to run off.
Sampo Group will prepare additional parallel runs and analyses during the financial year, and thus, the final IFRS 17 impacts may be different compared to the preliminary view.
Sampo Group continues to develop its reporting processes to meet the IFRS 17 requirements, with focus on both actuarial and financial items. Implementation of IFRS 17 is not expected to have an impact on the application of Solvency II calculations.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments standard (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 Jan 2018 or after) supersedes IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Sampo is utilising the temporary exemption option, outlined in the following paragraph, and will apply the standard on the annual period beginning on 1 Jan 2023. The comparative period 2022 will not be restated. The new standard changes the classification and measurement of financial assets and includes a new impairment model based on expected credit losses.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (effective for annual periods beginning on 1 Jan 2023 or after) will have an impact on the insurance liabilities valuation, and as a result, the insurance companies have been given additional options regarding the adoption of IFRS 9. If certain preconditions regarding the insurance liabilities are met, the company may apply the so-called temporary exemption option and defer the implementation until the adoption of IFRS 17, at the latest on annual period beginning on 1 Jan 2023. The temporary exemption may be applied, if the Group's amount of insurance liabilities is greater than 90 per cent of the total amount of liabilities. The application is also possible, if the ratio is greater than 80 per cent, and the Group does not engage in a significant activity unconnected with insurance.
Another allowed option (called "overlay approach") would have been to apply IFRS 9 from 1 January 2018, under which some of the valuation changes of financial assets would have been transferred from the statement of profit or loss to other comprehensive income to avoid accounting mismatch.
The Group has analysed the preconditions for applying the temporary exemption and concluded that they are met. Therefore, the Group is applying the exemption and will implement IFRS 9 Financial Instruments at the same time as IFRS 17 Insurance contracts.
The implementation of IFRS 9 is not expected to have a material impact on the Group's balance sheet, as the main part of financial assets is currently reported at fair value in the balance sheet, which will be the measurement principle also under IFRS 9.
Unlike in current accounting, under IFRS 9 the changes in fair value will be recognised in the statement of profit or loss, which is expected to increase earnings volatility during future reporting periods. Sampo Group has estimated that only a limited amount of financial assets will be recognised at amortised cost and thus the amount of expected credit losses is expected to remain minor. The measurement of financial liabilities is not expected to change.

A large majority of Sampo Group's financial assets are valued at fair value. The valuation is based on either published price quotations or valuation techniques based on market observable inputs, where available. For a limited amount of assets the value needs to be determined using other techniques. The financial instruments measured at fair value have been classified into three hierarchy levels in the notes, depending on e.g. if the market for the instrument is active, or if the inputs used in the valuation technique are observable.
The fair value of the derivative instruments is assessed using quoted market prices in active markets, discounting method or option pricing models.
The fair value of loans and other financial instruments which have no quoted price in active markets is based on discounted cash flows, using quoted market rates. The market's yield curve is adjusted by other components of the instrument, e.g. by credit risk.
Fair values are "clean" fair values, i.e. less interest accruals.
On level 1, the measurement of the instrument is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
On level 2, inputs for the measurement of the instrument include also other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly by using valuation techniques.
In level 3, the measurement is based on other inputs rather than observable market data. The majority of Sampo Group's level 3 assets are private equity and alternative funds.
For private equity funds the valuation of the underlying investments is conducted by the fund manager who has all the relevant information required in the valuation process. The valuation is usually updated quarterly based on the value of the underlying assets and the amount of debt in the fund. There are several valuation methods, which can be based on, for example, the acquisition value of the investments, the value of publicly traded peer companies, the multiple based valuation or the cash flows of the underlying investments. Most private equity funds follow the International Private Equity and Venture Capital (IPEV) guidelines which give detailed instructions on the valuation of private equity funds.
For alternative funds the valuation is also conducted by the fund managers. Alternative funds often have complicated structures and the valuation is dependent on the nature of the underlying investments. There are many different valuation methods that can be used, for example, the method based on the cash flows of the underlying investments. The operations and valuation of alternative funds are regulated for example by the Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), which determines the principles and documentation requirements of the valuation process.

Transfers are based mainly on the changes of trading volume information provided by an external service provider.
The sensitivity of financial assets and liabilities to changes in exchange rates is assessed on business area level due to different base currencies. In If, a 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against SEK would result in an increase recognised in profit/loss of EUR 36 million (34) and in a decrease recognised directly in equity of EUR -23 million (-24). In Topdanmark, a 10 percentage depreciation of all other currencies against DKK would result in a decrease recognised in profit/loss of EUR -1 million (-4), but would not have an impact on equity. In Mandatum, a 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would result in an increase recognised in profit/loss of EUR 36 million (32) and in a decrease recognised directly in equity of EUR -44 million (-45). In Holding, a 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would have no impact in profit/loss, but a decrease recognised in equity of EUR -56 million (-65). In Hastings, the changes in exchange rates would not have an impact either in p/l or equity.
The sensitivity analysis of the Group's fair values of financial assets and liabilities in different market risk scenarios is presented below. The effects represent the instantaneous effects of a one-off change in the underlying market variable on the fair values on 30 July 2022. The sensitivity analysis includes the effects of derivative positions. All sensitivities are calculated before taxes. The debt issued by Sampo plc is not included.

The value of financial assets regarding the debt security instruments has been tested by assuming a rise of 1 per cent in interest rate level in all maturities. For other financial assets, the prices were assumed to go down by 20 per cent. Sampo Group bears no investment risks related to unit-linked insurance, so a change in assumptions regarding these assets does not affect profit or loss. On the basis of these alternative assumptions, a possible change in interest levels would cause a descend of EUR -1 million (-2) for the debt instruments, and EUR -261 million (-294) valuation loss for other instruments in the Group's other comprehensive income. The reasonably possible effect, proportionate to the Group's equity, would thus be 2.7 per cent (2.3).

On 18 March 2022, Topdanmark Forsikring A/S signed an agreement to divest of Topdanmark Liv Holding A/S and all its subsidiaries to Nordea Life Holding AB. The agreed purchase price is around EUR 270 million after a pre-completion dividend has been distributed to Topdanmark.
In accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, Topdanmark has presented its life business as discontinued operations during reporting period. At the reporting period the share of discontinued operations in the income statement amounted to approximately EUR 16 million (27). The assets and liabilities have been classified as non-current assets held for sale and related liabilities.
As Topdanmark's life business does not represent a major line of business or geographic area of operations for Sampo Group, the disposal is not classified as discontinued operations but instead the assets and liabilities of Topdanmark life business have been classified as non-current assets held for sale and liabilities related to non-current assets held for sale. These are separately shown in the balance sheet.
At the end of reporting period, the balance sheet total of Topdanmark's life business amounted to EUR 12 443 million (13 599) consisting mainly of financial assets and liabilities for insurance and investment contracts as well as those related to unit-link contracts.
Mandatum Life signed on 15 June 2021 an agreement to sell their Baltic life insurance business to Lithuanian Invalda INVL-Group.

The transaction was completed at the last day of June and the control is to be transferred 1 July 2022. For further information, please see note 16 Subsequent events after the balance sheet date.
The underwriting portfolio included in the agreement consists primarily of contracts in Life's unit-linked products segment. The effect of the with profit portfolio on Life's Other products and services segment's investment and expense result is minor.
Sampo's share buyback programme announced on 9 June 2022 continued after the end of the reporting period.
