The slowdown in GDP growth was well below expectations in the US, where the risk of recession receded, while in the euro area, the economy was sluggish (only in Germany did the data show a contraction in economic activity). The resistance of the advanced economies to higher rates is due to a number of structural and cyclical factors, such as labour shortages, which reduced the elasticity of employment to GDP, the stronger balance sheets of households, businesses and banks compared with previous periods of mRQHWDU\WLJKWHQLQJDQGWKHORZHULQFLGHQFHRIćRDWLQJ-rate borrowing.

Insurance scenario

According to industry studies 4, at the end of the third quarter of 2023, total premiums in the non-life segment of insurance companies and Italian direct insurance portfolios amounted to €31.2 billion, up by 7,5% compared with the end of the same period in 2022, when written premiums totalled €29.0 billion and the sector recorded growth of 6.3%. The third quarter of 2023 was the eleventh consecutive positive quarterly change, raising premium income above €30 billion for the first time at the end of the third quarter of the year.

The increase in total non-life premiums was due, in particular, to the continued growth of the non-motor sector, the Company's core market, which recorded an increase of 8%.

This growth benefited from the positive contribution of all the main insurance classes: health and credit insurance were the best performing sectors, with growth of 13.3% and 14.4%, respectively, while general liability rose by 7.3%. The increase in the accident class was more modest at 4.3%, while the other damage to property and fire classes increased by 7.7% and 9.1% respectively.

The ANIA data for the first half of the year relating to the suretyship business showed an increase in premiums written of 12.4% compared with the same period of 2022, with an absolute value of €396.0 million in the first six months of the year. One of the reasons for this result is the start of work financed by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), as well as the agreements included in the SACE Reinsurance Convention to support companies. The volume of new business premiums written during the half-year came to €221.6 million, up 14.8% on the previous period. The figure is driven by increased underwriting of contract-UHODWHGJXDUDQWHHVWKHSUHPLXPVIRUZKLFKURVHE\PLOOLRQ and procurement-UHODWHG JXDUDQWHHV RI WRWDO SUHPLXPV Premiums written for guarantees related to FRQWULEXWLRQVDOVRLQFUHDVHG DVGLGSUHPLXPVUHODWHGWRSD\PHQWJXDUDQWHHV DQGSUHPLXPVUHODWHG WRFXVWRPVWUDQVDFWLRQV %\FRQWUDVWJXDUDQWHHVUHODWHGWRZDVWHPDQDJHPHQW-1.2%) and tax refunds (-2.9% of total premiums) declined slightly.

With regard to the distribution channel, the main form of brokerage of the entire non-life segment in terms of market share (69.9%) is still the agency network, which is particularly successful in the Suretyship, General liability, Motor liability, Marine hull and Other damage to property classes. The broker channel holds a 10.6% share. The classes in which brokers' intermediation is significant are Aviation hull, Marine hull, Railway rolling stock and Goods in transit.

The technical performance of the insurance portfolio during the year was characterised by:

  • x A VLJQLILFDQWLQFUHDVHLQJURVVSUHPLXPVZULWWHQFRPSDUHGZLWK'HFHPEHU GXHWR
    • 9 extension of the business lines;
    • 9 new product launches on the market;
    • 9 the overall expansion of the distribution network, which as at 31 December 2023 consisted of 111 multifirm agents (116 at 31 December 2022) and 67 brokers (53 at 31 December 2022).
  • x A total loss ratio, at 31 December 2023, of 42.0% compared with 20.3% in 2022, expenses relating to gross reinsurance claims amounted to €79,962,000, of which approximately €17.6 million related to the catastrophic events that hit Italy in July and August (tornadoes and severe thunderstorms).

At 31 December 2023, management increased the claims provision, increasing IBNR by a total of €2,916,000 compared with 31 December 2022, with €1,289,000 ceded to reinsurance. Total IBNRs at 31 December 2023 amounted to €4,556,000 (€1,640,000 at 31 December 2022). The net loss ratio of the Suretyship class confirmed the extremely positive trend, at 12.5%.

  • x The reinsurance technical balance of €11,338,000 (€9,756,000 at 31 December 2023), following the amendment and streamlining of reinsurance agreements and the activation of non-proportional and optional cover to better protect the technical result and the soundness of the Company;
  • x Acquisition commissions amounted to €40,710,000, an increase compared with 31 December 2022 (€14,816,000), consistent with the strong growth in premiums recorded in the period. Overall, acquisition commissions represented 18.8% of gross premiums (a slight improvement on 19.7% in 2022). The decrease mainly reflected the new mix of premium portfolios and distribution channels.

Due to the above performance, the adjusted COR9 (combined operating ratio) was 85.8% (75.7% for 2022).

The positive investment result of €3,252,000 (€1,756,000 for 2022), was positively affected by the reduction of €497,000 in impairment losses on investments measured at fair value. These impairment losses recognised in 2022 were due to the sharp rise in reference rates during the period.

Added to this effect was the increase of €1,718,000 in interest on coupons in the 2023 financial year, partially offset by the €719,000 decrease in net gains on disposals compared with 2022.

The overall performance of claims-related expenses at 31 December 2023, measured in terms of loss ratio, was, although it increased, appropriate in view of the development and diversification of other lines of production, standing at 42.0% 11(20.3% at 31 December 2022).

In absolute terms, claims-related expenses increased by €60,037,000, mainly due to the effect of the Property portfolio (€21,514,000), the Suretyship portfolio (€11,437,000) and the MAT Specialty Lines portfolio, which had been negligible in the 2022 half-year, and increased by €20,887,000, due to the reporting of six large claims, amounting to a claims expense net of reinsurance totalling around €2,790,000. At the end of the year, the MAT Specialty portfolio was fully overhauled.

The General Liability portfolio decreased by €625,000.

x Suretyship

The technical performance in 2023, due to the Company's particular focus on customer retention and risk assessment during the underwriting phase, once again proved profitable. The ratio, net of reinsurance, of claims for the period to insurance revenues, was 12.5% at 31 December 2023, unchanged compared with 2022.

Net claims for the yearincreased by €892,000 compared with 31 December 2022, due to the increase in claims paid and proveded for in the current year.

x Other portfolios

In the other portfolios, the ratio, gross of reinsurance, of claims paid and provided for net of recoveries (including an IBNR provision of €4,556,000, up from €1,640,000 at 31 December 2022) to earned premiums net of commissions totalled 61.1% overall (35% in 2022). Excluding reinsurance, the ratio was 54.4%, compared with 39.7% in 2022.

An analysis of the claims performance of the main portfolios is shown below:

  • x The Property portfolio recorded an increase in claims for the period totalling €21,514,000 compared with the previous year. The ratio of claims to premiums gross of reinsurance premiums was 59.9% (25.2% at 31 December 2022) and the ratio of claims net of reinsurance was 35.1% (29.8% for 2022). This increase was mainly due to the flood event in Emilia-Romagna, which had a gross impact of €3,498,000 (and a net impact of €900,000) and the weather events in northern Italy in July and August, which had a gross impact of €14,068,000 (and a net impact of €2,802,000). The contribution of reinsurance to risk mitigation was particularly important;
  • x The General liability portfolio, as specified above, improved in 2023, recording a gain of €625,000 compared with 31 December 2022. The gross loss ratio was 10.1% (37.1% for 2022), while the net loss ratio was 19.5% (32.3% for 2022). The marked improvement in the class is due to the more than proportional increase in business for the period, compared with new claims reported and/or paid during the period;
  • x The Agro portfolio recorded an increase in claims for the period net of reinsurance of €4,319,000 relating to the development of the business underwritten during the year (gross premiums written increased by €9,905,000 compared with 2022) and to weather events that resulted in an increase in claims mitigated by the reinsurance policy adopted. The portfolio's net loss ratio was 96.7%;
  • x The MAT Speciality Lines portfolio recorded a loss of 96.7% for 2023, mainly due to the reporting of six large claims during 2023 (claims expense net of reinsurance of approximately €2,790,000).

11 The loss ratio is obtained by comparing claims for the yearrelating to direct and indirect business to insurance revenues gross of the share of commissions and the share of amortisation of the portfolio acquired (former Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A.).

With regard to the largest claims, with an impact net of cession of more than €200,000, the following should be noted:

  • x ten claims relating to cover underwritten in 2022, of which six occurred in 2023, with an overall negative impact of €8,577,000 and €4,129,000 net of reinsurance (five relating to the Property LOB for €2,289,000 net and five relating to the Engineering LOB for €1,840,000, both of which relate to the Property portfolio);
  • x seven claims incurred in 2023 relating to the Bond portfolio with a total negative impact of €5,072,000 and €2,603,000 net of reinsurance;
  • x six claims opened in 2023 relating to cover underwritten in 2022 and 2023, with an overall negative impact of €7,736,000 and €2,790,000 net of reinsurance;
  • x a claim in 2023 relating to the General liability portfolio with an overall negative impact of €502,000 and €301,000 net of reinsurance.

The total costs attributed to insurance management thus amounted to €24,002,000 for 2023 (€16,926,000 for 2022).

Foreign business

During the year, the Company carried out insurance activities under the freedom to provide services scheme in the territory of the Member States of the European Community, including States in the European Economic Area, following the authorisation received from IVASS on 4 July 2022.

The table below sets out the most substantial operating amounts relating to foreign business, separated into direct and indirect business:

Reinsurance policy

In 2023, the Company's reinsurance policy pursued the aim of optimising the overall risk profile and protecting the Company from unexpected/unforeseen events such as "large" claims, including catastrophe claims.

Treaties continued to be signed with leading reinsurance companies, significantly reducing the Group's counterparty risk. The minimum rating of the companies included in the panel was greater than or equal to an A- rating from Standard & Poor's and an A- rating from A.M. Best.

Quota and excess of loss treaties were agreed for Suretyship policies (as in previous years) and quota and excess of loss treaties for other non-life policies, (except for Assistance, Cyber and Fine Art policies, for which quota share treaties were signed). For LoB Engineering, Agro and D&O policies it was decided to retain pure excess of loss coverage.

The following table shows a breakdown of the balance of ceded business compared with the previous year:

Technical reinsurance account 31.12.2023 31.12.2022
Insurance revenues deriving from reinsurance contracts 69,749 24,211
Insurance costs deriving from reinsurance contracts -81,087 -33,967
Loss of insurance services deriving from cessions to reinsurance -11,338 -9,756

Premiums ceded, which equalled €99,954,000 (€53,823,000 for 2022) increased due to both new business and the new proportional, non-proportional and optional treaties entered into, primarily from the second half of 2022 and in 2023.

Main new products launched on the market

In 2023, the REVO product range was further expanded:

x Property: new cover to protect manufacturing companies and their property assets against the risk of fire and other damage to property, theft and robbery, catastrophic events and indirect damage, and income protection. In the catastrophic event insurance, activating the earthquake cover provides parametric cover for initial expenses,

with prompt automatic compensation provided if an earthquake occurs that exceeds a given parameter: this cover is completely new on the market;

  • x Marine: new insurance solutions for owners of leisure, sailing or motor craft, to provide damage cover against the risks of sailing and during wet or dry docking while not in use; for boats flying the Italian flag, assistance at sea can also be activated, provided through the Main Office, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week;
  • x Travel agency and tour operator liability and insolvency: new insurance policies distributed through brokers specialising in travel – that enable travel agencies to protect themselves against claims for damages by third parties and to protect their customers in the event that the travel agency becomes insolvent or bankrupt;
  • x Legal expenses: the new product, developed following authorisation to operate in the ministerial class from the Supervisory Authority, is dedicated to companies or professionals, covering legal and expert expenses incurred by the insured to assert his/her rights in and out of court, for risks related to the business and to the circulation and suspension of the licence;
  • x Cyber risk: the new insurance solution dedicated to protecting companies and professional firms from direct damage and third parties due to cyber attacks, protecting the customer's assets in the event of claims for compensation for data breaches, security, privacy law and breach notification law, as well as business interruption, extortion and e-crime. Incident management services are also available.
  • x Flight delay: the cover provides protection in the event of a flight delay at the destination of more than three hours. It is a parametric policy that provides immediate compensation to the customer if the event occurs, with a view to providing refreshment as a result of the inconvenience caused by the delay;
  • x Honey production: a parametric policy has been created for bee keepers in Piedmont to compensate them for damage caused by the loss of honey yields due to drops in temperature at certain stages of the flowering of the acacia plant;
  • x Alfalfa: a parametric policy has been created for alfalfa producers and processors to compensate farmers if the irrigation needs of the alfalfa field are not met due to particularly dry weather conditions;
  • x Wine grape plant diseases: this product is for growers of wine grapes who, in the event of particularly adverse weather conditions, experience reduced yields due to a season that predisposes plants to develop diseases such as oidium, peronospora and botrytis. Again, this is a parametric policy based on a biological indicator;
  • x Olive fly: this product is for customers who produce olives for oil and who, due to certain weather conditions, see an increase in olive fly infestations that damage the harvest, reducing yields. A parametric policy based on an infestation indicator was developed.

OverX

Revo Insurance S.p.A. has further developed the new proprietary technological platform, OverX. The tool, which is fundamental for structuring and creating new insurance products, significantly simplifies underwriting and distribution processes, partly thanks to automated reading of broker communications, the use of external databases and the structuring of information needed to assess risk and draw up insurance contracts.

OverX was developed natively in the cloud environment, using cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence, micro-services, APIs (application programming interfaces) and paradigms of privacy and security by design; it is based on a simple and efficient data structure, which facilitates information collection by brokers and stands out as it is highly innovative in terms of flexibility and efficiency in product personalisation.

During 2023, in addition to the implementations necessary for the development of the above-mentioned products, various new features were enhanced and provided, and specifically:

  • x The OverX Claims Module for automated and facilitated insurance claims management;
  • x Management of multiple currencies and foreign taxes;
  • x The Document Composition tool for customisation of the insurance contract with specific Company clauses;
  • x Tailor-made solutions for accounting for risks not attributable to existing insurance products;
  • x Management and accounting of appendices in simplified mode.

Investment policy guidelines and profitability achieved

In 2023, the Company's investment policy was based on prudent criteria. The guidelines also take account of the framework resolution referred to in Article 8 of IVASS Regulation No. 24/2016, updated by the Board of Directors on 28 March 2023. It should be noted that updates to the framework resolution are designed to ensure both greater flexibility in investments in securities and greater diversification of portfolio instruments.

In the first half of the year, in particular, Italian and foreign government securities with high credit ratings were purchased, including from Germany, the Netherlands, France and Spain, as well as from supranational issuers. In the same period, to a lesser extent, highly rated corporate bonds were also purchased.

In the second half of the year, the diversification process continued with the purchase of core government bonds and highly rated corporate bonds (covered bonds). In the phase of volatility on the spread, the domestic government bond component was tactically increased on medium-term maturities. Operations in the equity segment are purely tactical in nature.

The asset portfolio has a particularly low duration of approximately two years and an excellent level of liquidity. All portfolio positions are denominated in euro.

The Company's prudent policy in terms of investments and issuer quality serves to protect it from market risk and liquidity risk, despite the current fragile economic scenario. The ongoing increased diversification in terms of asset class and issuers is intended to make the portfolio more resistant to market fluctuations and increased volatility in domestic government bond spreads.

Total investments at 31 December 2023 amounted to €223,677,000 (€188,531,000 for 2022), including €217,811,000 in bonds and other listed fixed-rate securities (including 37.7% in Italian government securities and other bonds and 42.3% in foreign government securities and other bonds), in addition to €2,775,000 relating to units in bond funds. Shares and quotas of companies include a €556,000 investment in Mangrovia Blockchain Solutions S.r.l. and €3,000 in MedInsure S.r.l.

This item includes, in assets measured at amortised cost, the escrow account set up following the acquisition of Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A., amounting to €3,088,000 (€4,016,000 for 2022). The escrow account was reduced by €1,000,000 in December. This reduction will continue annually until the escrow account is exhausted (30 December 2026).

Total cash and cash equivalents amounted to €6,402,000 for 2023 (€4,652,000 for 2022).

Remuneration policies and employee information

At 31 December 2023, the internal structure consisted of 189 resources, as well as four external contractors (at 31 December 2022, there were 151 plus six external contractors).

Also during 2023, staff training continued with the aim of promoting professional and managerial growth. In particular, a training course was set up for Parent Company managers who took part in this 40h course entitled "Leadership training: the strategic role of the manager". Managers are one of the cornerstones of an organisation. Their daily work is essential for interpreting and passing on the Company's values.

In addition, in December, the development programme was launched, which will run in 2024 under the title "Taking care of value: growth and development of skills in REVO", aimed at further delineating the attention and importance that REVO places on staff growth pathways.

In April 2023, the Company opened its new operational headquarters in Milan, at Via Monte Rosa 91, with collaborative workspaces and a strong sustainability footprint.

REVO also decided to open an additional operational headquarters in the city of Genoa, a choice dictated by the growing need for proximity to business, particularly Marine insurance.

During the year, two changes were made to REVO's organisation, involving the Claims team and the Parametric team. In particular:

  • x as part of the process of developing the OverX platform, OverX Claims, representing the new claims management system, was developed in the second half of 2023. At REVO, technology and process simplification are tools to serve expertise. In this context, it was decided to integrate the Claims team into the Operations Department in order to create the synergies necessary for further streamlining of the settlement process, thereby enabling the best enhancement of the skills of the Claims team;
  • x during 2023, the work of the Parametric team enabled these kinds of innovative insurance solutions to be widely recognised in the market and to begin to generate an ever-increasing interest on the part of intermediaries. In order to consolidate and strengthen the positioning of Parametric products, it was decided to incorporate the Parametric team into the Underwriting Department with the aim of strengthening distribution synergies and favouring the design of integrated insurance solutions, for a service that is increasingly accurate and attuned to the needs of SMEs and professionals.

Total labour costs, including the reimbursement of expenses (employees and contractors on project-based contracts) at 31 December 2023 came to €17,824,000 (€15,038,000 at 31 December 2022). The change compared with 2022 mainly reflects the increase in total remuneration due to the recruitment of a further 38 resources since 31 December 2022.

Remuneration policies

At the Shareholders' Meeting of 19 April 2023, the Company approved a remuneration policy in accordance with the provisions of the legislation applicable to listed companies and in compliance with the specific provisions in this regard set out in IVASS Regulation No. 38. 38.

The management remuneration system comprises the following main elements:

  • x an annual incentive system in formalised MbO form for the entire corporate population, except for the key functions, which aims to increase involvement in the achievement of annual company targets;
  • x a long-term incentive plan (2022-2024 Performance Share Plan) for the Chief Executive Officer/General Manager, key persons and additional beneficiaries;
  • x a welfare plan for the entire corporate population.

In particular, the remuneration system for top management, in addition to the Chief Executive Officer and employees of the Company who perform managerial roles or functions, consists of a fixed and a variable component, the latter with an annual component and a deferred long-term incentive plan, in line with best practice at national and international level.

MbO system

The annual variable component consists of the "MbO" system, which provides for the payment of a cash bonus, subject to the achievement of predetermined annual objectives - both quantitative (operating result and premium income) and qualitative (on a personalised basis) - that are commensurate with the specific role and activities performed by the individual beneficiary.

2022-2024 Performance Share Plan

On 4 April 2022, the Company's Shareholders' Meeting also approved a performance share plan called the "2022-2024 Performance Share Plan" (hereinafter, the "Plan"), the rules of which were drawn up and approved by the Board of Directors on 26 May 2022.

The Plan is a valid tool for retaining and motivating individuals who play a key role in achieving the Company's objectives, and for aligning the interests of key company resources with those of other stakeholders, with a view to long-term sustainable development.

The value of the LTI item at 31 December 2023 was €1,659,000.

Code of Ethics

Employees and contractors are required to scrupulously observe the rules of conduct established in the Code of Ethics updated by resolution of the Board of Directors of 13 July 2023.

This document establishes the specific rules and procedures of conduct which, in line with principles of a commitment to fairness and consistency of approach, must be observed by employees and contractors in their multiple relationships with policyholders, agents, suppliers, service providers and any other company or entity, whether public or private, that comes into contact with the Company.

No cases of non-compliance in this regard were reported or discovered during 2023.

Performance of the Subsidiary

The Subsidiary, Revo Underwriting, which is responsible for insurance brokerage and advisory services and operates as the Group's MGA (managing general agency), has been active since 6 July 2022, the date of entry in the Single Register of Insurance and Reinsurance Intermediaries (RUI) with registration number A000711224.

During the year, the subsidiary activated 165 mandates, including the 69 that were opened during the second half of 2022, bringing the total number of active mandates to 234.

At 31 December 2023, the subsidiary posted revenues of €2,038,000, costs associated with the marketing of insurance products of €1,591,000 and costs associated with administrative services of €270,000. The result for the period was a profit after tax of €120,000.

The difference, gross of taxes, of €3,000 between the IFRS 17 and IFRS 4 result is mainly due to the effect of the use of the present value of future cash flows of -€59,000 and the elimination of the €62,000 change in the profit-sharing reserve and the liability for adequacy test.

The IFRS 4 adjusted operating profit was €21,000,000, while the IFRS 4 adjusted profit was €14,800,000.

Solvency II – Solvency margin

Information on the Group's Solvency II solvency margin, calculated on the basis of the information available at the date of preparation of this report, compared with the annual 2022 data, is provided below:

Information on the solvency margin - Solvency II 31.12.2023 31.12.2022
Solvency Capital Requirement 72,422 52,895
Eligible Own Funds to meet the SCR (Tier 1) 153,543 142,463
Solvency Ratio 212.0% 269.3%
Minimum capital requirement 20,767 14,652
MCR Coverage Ratio 739.3% 972.3%

The Solvency II Ratio was 212.0% at 31 December 2023, down compared with 31 December 2022, due to the growth in business volumes affecting non-life premiums and reserves, partially offset by an increase in own funds due to the profit for the year and expected future earnings.

It should be noted that the Solvency II Ratio does not take into account the organisational provision of €8.150 million to cover start-up expenses (set aside in response to the authorisation to operate in the new insurance classes), which has to be excluded from the calculation of own funds for the first three financial years. Treasury shares are also not included in own funds. The amount of treasury shares increased in the first half of 2023 as a result of the public tender offer. For details, see the section on treasury shares held and changes in treasury shares in the Report on Operations. The solvency situation will be specifically reported to the Supervisory Authority within the deadlines established by the

applicable legislation.

Risk management objectives and policy and hedging policy of the companies included in the scope of consolidation

The Group's risk management is designed to comply with regulatory provisions, including constant monitoring according to the provisions of IVASS Regulation No. 24/20216. The Company has defined and implemented its risk assumption, measurement and management policies, taking an integrated view of its assets and liabilities in accordance with European Solvency II rules.

With regard to liquidity, underwriting and counterparty risks, ordinary monitoring activities continue to be overseen at all times, in order to ensure the Company's ongoing ability to meet its commitments. Furthermore, with reference to the internal solvency objective referred to in Article 18 of IVASS Regulation No. 38/18, the current assessments do not highlight any critical issues that require specific action.

The Group, also in financial year 2023, was required by the Supervisory Authority to monitor its solvency position on a monthly basis, pursuant to the communication dated 17 March 2020. The results of these monthly assessments showed a high and constant capital solvency level.

In the same period, the Group underwent an organisational enhancement following the merger in November 2022 between Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A. and Revo S.p.A. The Risk Management function was strengthened with new resources (internal and outsourced) and a system of risk oversight tools was created that includes the new risk management policies, Risk Appetite Framework (RAF) and Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA), as well as a more structured and effective Risk Register.

The Risk Officer's report to the Board of Directors did not highlight any critical issues and noted that the control processes implemented emphasise the Company's timely compliance with the reference provisions and regulations, to safeguard and protect the activity performed.

Based on the risk mapping undertaken, the highest-intensity risk to which the Group is exposed is its underwriting risk. In particular, the following should be noted:

Underwriting risks

Revo Insurance takes a conservative approach to underwriting risk, in order to avoid underwriting that could undermine the Company's solvency or constitute a serious obstacle to achieving its objectives.

The main techniques used by the Company to mitigate underwriting risk are:

  • x underwriting techniques;
  • x reinsurance techniques.

With regard to the assumption of risks in the Suretyship class, which is the Company's core business, policies are written following careful technical investigations to establish the nature and characteristics of the risks to be covered and the soundness in terms of capital, income and cash flow, as well as the reliability, of the obligated entities, depending on the activities they carry out, to which the cover applies.

With regard to reinsurance techniques, specific treaties were entered into for each line of business.

Market risk

REVO has a portfolio of assets consisting mainly of government and corporate bonds. Liquid assets are managed to ensure that sufficient resources are always available for normal claims payment.

The Company's prudent policy in terms of investments and issuer quality serves to protect it from market risk and liquidity risk, despite the current economic environment.

All investments are denominated in euro and therefore no currency risk exists.

With regard to concentration risk, there is a significant percentage of investment in the Italian Republic (although this has been decreasing steadily since December 2022), amounting to 37.7% of the Group's total portfolio at 31 December 2023 (around 51.8% at 31 December 2022).

Credit risk

The Group is exposed to the risk associated with a deterioration in the creditworthiness of the market counterparties with which it operates and has business and insurance relationships. These exposures mainly derive from reinsurance and co-insurance activities, cash deposits with banks and activities with insurance brokers and policyholders, in respect of which receivables are typically generated according to recurring insurance product underwriting patterns, particularly when the end of each quarter approaches.

At the same time, in its investment activities, the Group is subject to the creditworthiness and default risk of the relevant issuers. In addition to the Italian government, any default on the part of issuers in which the Company has exposure could have a negative impact on its financial position, cash flows and performance, as well as an effect on its Solvency II Ratio.

The default risk management system defined by the Company is assessed on the basis of the material risk factors related to the receivable for which top management ensures the correct and timely application of the same and ensures the consequent establishment of adequate processes for the analysis of overdue receivables and the monitoring and recovery of overdue receivables with respect to the main business counterparties (policyholders, intermediaries and reinsurance partners).

At least once a quarter, as part of its SCR recalculation activities, the Risk Management Function monitors changes in the risk profile and compliance with the risk appetite and risk tolerance limits defined in the Risk Appetite Framework. In addition, the ratings of reinsurance counterparties are monitored every six months, as required by the Reinsurance Policy.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk of not being able to meet obligations to policyholders and other creditors due to the difficulty of converting investments into cash without suffering losses; this risk is monitored through specific stress scenarios based on short- and medium-term cash flow planning.

Operational risk

Operational risk is the risk of losses due to inefficiencies in human resources, processes and systems, including those used for distance selling, or to external events, such as fraud or the actions of service providers; this definition includes legal risk but not strategic or reputational risk.

In the procedures currently in force, operational risk is also quantified in the context of the solvency requirement through the standard formula.

In addition to this quantitative support, "residual" risk is measured, at least once a year, on the basis of the probability of occurrence of the negative event and the severity of its impact, the scale of which is determined using a qualitative and quantitative methodological approach that helps management in mapping risks in order to adequately identify the most exposed areas and to prioritise when implementing action/mitigation plans.

These assessments enable the Company to ascertain the consistency of the results with the Risk Appetite Framework (RAF), outlined by the Company in its risk appetite policy.

Climate change risk

As part of the ORSA assessment, the Group, in accordance with what is indicated in the EIOPA Opinion, carried out qualitative-quantitative assessments relating to climate change and, specifically, in relation to the risk of transition and to

physical risk. The analyzes of these risks are aimed at identifying the possible impacts caused by climate change on the assets and liabilities of the Group. During the quarterly monitoring activity, the Company checks the amount of assets that could be exposed to ESG risk.

Great attention is given to ESG issues, for which an ESG driven pricing project is underway. The Company, in product development, has identified the following emerging risks:

  • x Climate Change Transition Risk: risk showed by the possible increase in compensation requests from companies operating in carbon-intensive sectors which could be negatively affected by the energy transition, in terms of getting worse of creditworthiness. This risk would be attributable to customers of the credit and surety lines linked to the carbon-intensive sectors. In order to supervise and limit this risk, income and asset analyzes are carried out on these customers taking into account ESG parameters;
  • x Climate Change Physical Risk: collects all the risks deriving from the physical effects induced by climate change. The most impact could be involved these line of business property, engineering, fine-art, agro and parametric.

Compliance risk

Compliance risk is the risk of incurring legal or administrative penalties or suffering losses or reputational damage as a result of failure to comply with laws, regulations or provisions of the Supervisory Authorities or self-regulation rules, such as articles of association, codes of conduct or governance codes.

The Compliance Risk Management System has been defined, in accordance with the provisions in force. Responsibility for this lies with the Compliance Manager, who is supported by the heads of the corporate functions in performing operating activities.

The compliance mission and operating procedures are defined in directives on the Company's internal control system and operating activities are governed by a specific company procedure.

As part of the activities envisaged in the compliance process, the Compliance Manager monitors on an ongoing basis and shares the relevant impact analyses with the relevant process manager. In the event of critical issues that could entail the risk of legal challenges and penalties, the Board of Directors becomes involved.

A report is produced each year describing all the ongoing and non-ongoing Compliance activities carried out during the year, as provided for in Regulation No. 38/18.

Reputational risk

Reputational risk (or image risk) is the risk of losses that the Company may suffer as a result of events that degrade its image among the various types of stakeholders (policyholders, shareholders, counterparties, investors and Supervisory Authorities).

The Company manages reputational risk by means of appropriate mitigation measures and via appropriate organisational and control structures.

In this area, correctness and professionalism are of the utmost importance, particularly regarding:

  • x the level of awareness among senior management of the importance of the subject;
  • x the promotion, at all corporate levels, of a culture of ethics and fair behaviour;
  • x adequate management of relations with all stakeholders;
  • x the suitability of the risk management and mitigation systems.

To this end, the Company has adopted a Code of Ethics in order to promote a culture of ethics and fair behaviour at all levels of the Company. As part of the activities envisaged in the compliance process, the Compliance Manager monitors on an ongoing basis and shares the relevant impact analyses with the process manager.

In the event of critical issues that could entail significant reputational risks, the Board of Directors becomes involved. A report is produced each year describing all the ongoing and non-ongoing Compliance activities carried out during the year, as provided for in Regulation No. 38/18.

Strategic risk

Strategic risk is defined as the current or prospective risk arising from a decline in profits or capital and the sustainability of the business model, including the risk of not being able to generate an adequate return on capital based on the risk

appetite defined by the company, arising from changes in the operating environment or poor corporate decisions, inadequate implementation of decisions, incorrect management of the risk of belonging to the group or insufficient responsiveness to changes in the competitive environment.

As part of the ORSA, the Company checks that the analysis of changes in profits resulting from strategic planning and the adequacy of the own funds held to cover the capital requirement, including in major stress scenarios, does not highlight any particular critical situations.

Strategic risk management is based on the Company's ability to identify and measure this form of risk and to adopt management practices that allow it to be mitigated in accordance with the appetite defined by the Board of Directors in the Risk Appetite Framework.

Strategic risk is monitored by the CFO in a qualitative and quantitative manner, taking into account any changes in the corporate and organisational structure, including through quarterly analysis of the performance of the main management KPIs compared with those provided for in the Strategic Plan, and verifying the adequacy of own funds held to cover the capital requirement.

Ongoing disputes

There are no disputes pending, except for claims-related insurance disputes and disputes relating to recourse or recovery of receivables actions.

With regard to insurance disputes, it should be noted that in 2022, the Company received a payment order for approximately €250,000, relating to a counterfeit suretyship policy. At December 31, 2023, the expert reports arranged by the judge accepted the argument that the signatures on the surety policy were not authentic. For this reason, the company decided to release the portion set aside, on a prudential basis, in 2022.

Twenty complaints were received in 2023, one of which was settled, three were accepted and 16 were rejected. As a result of the above, as of the date of preparation of this Report, there is only one complaint in the investigation phase. Internal Audit reports on the above claims were issued and the relevant assessments were carried out by the Board of Statutory Auditors and the Board of Directors and, according to the procedures in force, were notified to the Supervisory Authority.

Capital and financial transactions with parent companies, associates, affiliates and other related parties

The Procedure is published in the "corporate-governance/corporate-documents/related party transactions" section of the REVO Insurance website (www.revoinsurance.com).

During the year, only one transaction with a related party was undertaken, with the counterparty being subsidiary REVO Underwriting S.r.l. The transaction was for a modest amount and was by its nature exempt from the application of the Company's related party transactions procedure.

At 31 December 2023, no natural person or legal entity held, directly or indirectly, a number of shares such as to have a controlling interest in REVO Insurance S.p.A. Similarly, no material shareholder agreements were noted or notified to the Company pursuant to Article 122 of the TUF that might result in de facto control.

It follows that the Company is not subject to the management and coordination of any entity or company.

Other significant events during the year

No other significant events occurred during the year, other than those reported in the initial introductory section.

Events after the reporting date

Following the analyses conducted, at its meeting on 8 February 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to commence the process of opening a secondary office in Spain. The project was implemented by Fernando Lara, a manager with proven experience who has already held senior roles in large international insurance groups present in Spain. The operation to establish the secondary office, which is subject to IVASS authorisations, will be concluded by the end of 2024. In the meantime, REVO will both activate functional safeguards to enable the rapid growth of the business following the authorisation process, and continue underwriting activities in 2024 under the freedom to provide services.

No other significant events occurred after the end of the year.

Business outlook

As part of project development, REVO will continue to implement its business plan in accordance with the strategy outlined, aiming to further develop its existing business and to expand its offering with the consolidation of new business lines focused on specialty and parametric risks.

In this regard, the Board of Directors of REVO Insurance S.p.A., at its meeting of 8 February 2024, approved the 2024- 2027 rolling plan, which confirms the main areas of development of the project along the following strategic guidelines:

  • x Strengthening relationships with intermediaries
  • x Market analysis to seek new distribution opportunities
  • x Increasing cross-selling between specialty lines and parametric products
  • x Further enrichment of the OverX platform and increasing its use
  • x Maintaining a strong capital position

x Continuation of ESG development projects

In addition, at that meeting, the Board of Directors resolved to begin the process of opening a secondary office in Spain. The specialty line market in Spain has recorded attractive growth rates in recent years, particularly in the market niches already dominated by REVO in Italy. The aim of the "REVO Iberia" project is not only to exploit the commercial relations already in place with the large international brokers with which the Company operates in Italy, but to open its distribution model to local intermediaries, including small ones. At the same time, the project will make it possible to optimise the investments already made for the development of OverX and to identify potential development opportunities in the parametric field, benefiting from the skills acquired by the Italian team.

The business activity in Spain will initially focus on certain strategic lines, such as Financial Lines and Suretyship, a class in which the Company is a leader in Italy, with a progressive extension that aims to provide a complete offering to the Iberian market that is similar to the national one.

This operation allows the Group to add another key strategic element for the development of REVO Insurance, pursuing an approach of greater business diversification at an international level.

Treasury shares held and related movements

With regard to the information required by Article 2428, paragraph 3(3) and (4) of the Italian Civil Code, it should be noted that:

  • x During the first half of the year, also following the partial voluntary public purchase offer for treasury shares, promoted on 15 May 2023, it repurchased a total of 709,747 treasury shares, equal to 2.88% of the share capital, consisting solely of ordinary shares;
  • x It did not sell any treasury shares during the year.

The share buy-back programme implemented during 2023 was implemented pursuant to the resolution adopted by the Ordinary Shareholders' Meeting of 3 May 2023, with the aim of making REVO shares available for any external growth transactions effected through an exchange of shares and for incentive plans reserved for the corporate population.

Relations with public authorities and other entities

Pursuant to the regulatory provisions on the transparency of relations with public authorities introduced by Law No. 124/2017, it should be noted that in 2023 REVO Insurance S.p.A. received payments of €113,000 relating to employee training costs. The companies have not received any further subsidies, contributions or economic benefits of any kind from public authorities or from other entities indicated in Article 1, paragraph 125 of the cited law, with the exception of the above.

For the purposes of full disclosure, although these contributions are excluded from the transparency obligations established in the aforementioned legislation, it should be noted that the National Register of State Aid, publicly available in the section on transparency on the relevant website, publishes the aid measures and the relevant individual aid granted and recorded in the system by the granting authorities for the direct or indirect benefit of each of the Group companies.

Report on corporate governance and ownership structure pursuant to Article 123 of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998

The information required by Article 123-bis of Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 as amended is contained in the Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure, approved by the Board of Directors and published jointly with the Report on Operations. The Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure is available on the Company's website (www.revoinsurance.com), in the "Corporate Governance/Report on Corporate Governance and Ownership Structure" section.

Methodological note on alternative performance indicators

In order to facilitate an assessment of the quality and sustainability of the Group's financial performance over time, the Report on Operations presents the following alternative performance indicators.

Gross premiums written

The gross premiums written in this report differ from insurance revenues arising from insurance contracts written in the income statement. They represent the Group's insurance turnover and include premium income from direct and indirect business insurance contracts.

Operating profit

The operating result is not a substitute for profit for the year before tax, determined in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, but should be read in conjunction with the other income statement information and explanatory notes presented in these consolidated financial statements and subject to audit.

This indicator is prepared by reclassifying the profit components for the year before tax, taking into account the recurring nature of revenue and expenses.

In particular, the operating profit measures ordinary profitability which, on the basis of the insurance services result:

  • x Includes investment income and expenses exclusively related to accrued coupons and issue and trading differences (impaiment losses and impaiment gains and gains/losses on disposals are therefore excluded);
  • x Includes management expenses not directly attributable to insurance contracts;
  • x Includes the LTI amount;
  • x Excludes the portion of the amortisation of intangible assets included in the item "Result of insurance services" in the income statement.

Adjusted operating profit

Adjusted operating profit corresponds to the operating result, neutralised by those items considered non-recurring, such as:

  • x one-off costs;
  • x interest costs arising from financial liabilities;
  • x depreciation of property, plant and equipment (without considering IFRS 16 depreciation);
  • x LTI cost;
  • x the liquidation of agencies;
  • x amortisation of the value of the portfolio acquired (former Elba Assicurazioni).

Adjusted profit

The adjusted profit corresponds to the profit for the year with neutralisation of the same items, non-recurring, considered for the calculation of the adjusted operating profit as well as the share of net gains on disposal and net impaiment losses on investments.

Combined Ratio

This alternative performance indicator is calculated as the ratio of:

  • x the sum of the income statement item "Costs of insurance services deriving from insurance contracts written" to the result deriving from reinsurance cessions (obtained as the difference between the items "Insurance revenue arising from cessions to reinsurance" and "Costs of insurance services deriving from cessions to reinsurance");
  • x the total of the item "Insurance revenue deriving from insurance contracts written" with neutralisation of the component of the issue during the year of the share of the value of the portfolio acquired (formerly VoBA).

Gross Loss Ratio

This alternative performance indicator is obtained from the ratio of:

  • x the total of the item "Costs of insurance services deriving from insurance contracts written" excluding the portion of management costs attributed to insurance contracts and the balance, positive or negative, between other technical expenses and other technical income relating to insurance contracts written;
  • x the total of the item "Insurance revenue from insurance contracts written" excluding the effect of acquisition commissions and the released share of the portfolio acquired (former Elba Assicurazioni).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

General section

(SPAC – special purpose acquisition company) and Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A., having its registered office at Via dell'Agricoltura 7, Verona, VAT No. 05850710962 and entered in the Verona Companies Register.

REVO was created by the reverse merger on 21 November 2022 of REVO SPAC and Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A., an insurance company operating in the insurance market since 2008.

Since that date, the Company has been listed on the Euronext STAR market organised and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. In May 2022, REVO Underwriting S.p.A. was established as an agency authorised to write, issue and manage insurance policies, under licences and authorisations held by the insurance company, as well as its risk capital.

The Company, together with the subsidiary, REVO Underwriting S.r.l., forms the REVO Insurance Group, entered in the IVASS register under No. 059.

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to ISVAP Regulation No. 7 of 13 July 2007 and have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal provisions, according to the measurement criteria and international reporting standards referred to below, and corresponding to the accounting records that reflect the transactions carried out by the REVO Insurance Group (hereinafter also the "Group") at 31 December 2023, supplemented by internal management data not directly identifiable in the accounts.

They have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with the reporting standards applied in the previous year, to ensure the comparability of the data.

The figures at 31 December 2023 of the REVO Insurance Group are compared, for the comparison with the previous year, with the consolidated figures appropriately adjusted for the entry into force of the new IFRS 17 on 1 January 2023.

Amounts are shown in thousands of euro, unless expressly specified.

Consolidation method

The consolidation method for subsidiaries provides for the line-by-line consolidation, from the date of acquisition, of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the consolidated companies. By contrast, the carrying amount of the investment is eliminated with the corresponding share of the equity of each subsidiary, and, in the case of equity investments of less than 100%, the share of equity and profit or loss for the year pertaining to non-controlling interests is shown.

The differences resulting from this operation, if positive, are recognised – after allocation to the assets or liabilities of the Subsidiary, including intangible assets – as goodwill under intangible assets.

Any negative differences are recognised in the income statement.

With regard to intragroup transactions, when preparing the consolidated financial statements, receivables and payables between the companies included in the scope of consolidation are de-recognised, as are income and expenses relating to transactions between the companies themselves, and gains and losses arising from transactions between such companies and not yet realised with third parties.

Share-based payments

The international reporting standard that governs share-based payments is IFRS 2. This standard defines a share-based payment transaction as a transaction in which the company receives goods or services from a supplier (including employees and financial advisors) under a share-based payment agreement.

This agreement confers the right to receive cash or other assets of the company in amounts based on the price (or value) of the equity instruments of the entity or another Group entity, or to receive equity instruments of the entity or another Group entity, provided that the specified vesting conditions, if they exist, are met.

In view of the difficulty in reliably assessing the fair value of services received based on the value of shares, reference is made to the fair value of the financial instrument, with the expense recognised over the vesting period. The obligation assumed by the company may be settled by delivery of own financial instruments ("equity-settled") or by delivery of cash and/or financial instruments of other entities ("cash-settled").

The Group settles the obligation through the former configuration, with a contra-entry in equity for the expense, thus without generating either a decrease in equity or monetary effects in the income statement.

Earnings per share

In accordance with IAS 33, basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributed to shareholders holding ordinary shares of REVO Insurance S.p.A. by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share are calculated by dividing the profit attributed to shareholders holding ordinary shares by the weighted average number of any additional ordinary shares that would be outstanding in the event of the conversion of all potential ordinary shares with dilutive effect. In the event of a loss for the year, a loss (basic and diluted) per share is calculated.

Foreign-currency transactions

In accordance with IAS 21, items denominated in foreign currencies are managed according to multi-currency accounting principles.

Monetary items in foreign currencies (currency units held and assets or liabilities to be collected or paid out as a number of fixed or determinable currency units) are converted using the exchange rate prevailing at the reporting date. Foreign exchange differences deriving from the settlement or valuation of monetary items are recognised in the income statement. At 31 December 2023, the Group did not hold any non-monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies.

New standards in force

IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts

IFRS 17 for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts entered into force on 1 January 2023. The standard requires entities to measure insurance contracts using current estimates of cash flows associated with the fulfilment of insurance contracts, both incoming and outgoing, using one of the three measurement models envisaged.

REVO uses the simplified Premium Allocation Approach as a measurement model, after verifying compliance with the conditions that have to be met in order to apply it, with a year-to-date approach regarding the accounting estimates used, or with a measurement and change of the estimates on a year-to-year basis.

The effects for the Company of the effects of the choices made since the adoption of the new standard in the various areas are presented below:

Definition and classification of contracts

The standard defines as an insurance contract a contract under which one party (the issuer) accepts significant insurance risk from another party (the policyholder) by agreeing to compensate the policyholderif a specified uncertain future event (the insured event) adversely affects the policyholder.

Reinsurance contracts do not exempt the Company from its liability associated with the underlying insurance contracts, but are designed to compensate the Company against claims arising from one or more insurance contracts issued by the latter (underlying contracts). Assets deriving from reinsurance contracts held are presented separately in the statement of financial position to indicate the extent of the credit risk and the Company's obligations to its policyholders.

The Group did not identify any significant impact arising from the introduction of the new IFRS 17 with regard to the classification of contracts as insurance contracts.

Insurance contracts and reinsurance contract assets held are aggregated into insurance contract portfolios according to the underlying risk and the management of such risks, further subdivided into groups according to expected profitability and the year in which the contract was signed, and they are then broken down into annual cohorts.

The Group has divided the business into 20 different groups of contracts, with an approach that reflects the lines currently marketed and is consistent with the segmentation already used for other business valuations. These groups are in turn divided into 11 portfolios of contracts with similar risks, which are managed jointly.

The table below sets out the classification of business within the above contract groups and portfolios:

Legal Legal

With regard to the breakdown of portfolios into the three buckets, provided for by the standard, on the basis of expected profitability, an appropriate onerousness test (Onerous Contract Test or OCT) was defined. This test is carried out on the date of initial recognition of a new group of contracts as well as annually when the financial statements measurements are performed and consists in determining a combined ratio including the non-financial risk component (risk adjustment). The IFRS 17 combined ratio (also indicated below as CoRכ (is calculated as follows:

CoRכ <39(&(&ODLPV\$FTXLVLWLRQFRVWV2SHUDWLQJH[SHQVHV 5\$ @39)&)3UHPLXPVZULWWHQ

The CoRכ is obtained from the ratio of the sum of discounted cash flows relating to claims, acquisition costs, operating expenses and the risk adjustment component to the discounted premiums issued.

The ratio numerator is the sum of the following cash flows appropriately discounted on the basis of the discount rate curve shown below in this section of the report:

  • x Claims: obtained by multiplying earned premiums by the loss ratio in the plan;
  • x Acquisition costs: equal to the product of the premiums written in the period and the ACR (acquisition cost ratio) in the plan;
  • x Operating expenses: equal to the product of the premiums for the period and the ER (expense ratio) in the plan.
  • x Risk adjustment: obtained by multiplying the sum of earned premiums from the observation date until the end of the cash flow projection by the risk adjustment premium percentage (the calculation of which is described below).

The breakdown is obtained by comparing CoRכ with the values of the thresholds selected by the Company and set out below:

  • x onerous, if CoRכ < 100%
  • x potentially onerous if 95% < CoRכ Ă
  • x profitable, if CoRכ Ă

At 31 December 2023, as at 31 December 2022, no group of contracts was found to be onerous. For this reason, no loss component and loss recovery were determined.

Measurement

The Group measures its insurance contracts and the assets of the reinsurance contracts held primarily using the Premium Allocation Approach (PAA).

The option of applying the PAA for businesses with a duration of more than one year derives from a quantitative analysis (eligibility test), which concluded that the results of applying the PAA do not present significant deviations from the application of the General Model.

The elements necessary for measurement are:

  • x Contract boundaries these determine the cash flows included in the measurement of a group of held and active insurance and reinsurance contracts. For insurance contracts, cash flows fall within the limits provided for in the contract and originating from the substantive rights and obligations existing during the reporting period in which the Company may obligate the policyholder to pay premiums or has a substantive obligation to provide services, including insurance cover. For the reinsurance contract assets held, the flows are within the scope of the contract and derive from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the Company is obligated to pay amounts to the reinsurer or has a substantive right to receive services from the reinsurer. The following assessments were made for the purposes of determining the cash flows within the scope of in force insurance contracts:
    • 9 for annual contracts, at the end of which it is possible to re-price the risk underwritten on the basis of the evolution of the risk profile and each individual insured, the contract boundaries include only the premium paid by the policyholderfor cover for the year and the estimated claims during the period of cover, as well as the cash flows relating to the contract;

  • 9 the automatic renewal options will be excluded from the contract boundaries at initial recognition, due to the presence of the right to terminate or withdraw from the renewal of the contract and the presence of the possibility of repricing the contract. Such renewals, when they occur, will be treated as newly written contracts, falling into a successive annual cohort with a date of initial recognition following the earlier of:
    • the start of the period of cover;
    • the date of the first payment by the policyholder; or
    • for a group of onerous contracts, the date at which the group becomes onerous;
  • 9 for multi-year policies, the amount of premiums is fixed at the issue date and cannot be changed. During the period of cover, for the purposes of the statistical/actuarial balance between premiums and expected benefits, all future premiums and future claims or claims occurring in the period of cover, as well as the cash flows relating to the contract, are regarded as within the contract boundaries.
  • x Present Value of Future Cash Flows (PVFCF) these are the current estimates of the cash flows expected within the contract boundaries and include premiums, claims, acquisition costs and other expenses that the Company expects to incur, adjusted as necessary to reflect the timing and uncertainty of these amounts with an explicit adjustment for non-financial risk.

There are two types of costs directly attributable and included in the contract boundaries:

  • 9 acquisition costs or costs to acquire insurance contracts, consisting of brokerage fees, underwriting fees and the relevant general expenses amortised in the income statement as the premiums mature;
  • 9 other costs incurred in the fulfilment of insurance contracts that include all remaining costs not classified as acquisition expenses, such as, for example, general expenses related to claims settlement.

The PVFCF value takes into account the effects of the acquisition of the insurance portfolio of Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A. completed in November 2021 (ex. VoBA).

x Risk adjustment (RA) - the compensation required in order to withstand the uncertainty of cash flows (in terms of amount and time) due to non-financial risk. The Group calculates this figure using the Percentile Approach, which is an appropriate approximation for estimating the risk adjustment. The amount is therefore calculated using the Value at Risk method with a 75% confidence level. 12

This component is calculated on two dimensions:

  • 9 Premium volume measures for the determination of the liability for remaining coverage (LFRC) for the purposes of the eligibility test as well as for the onerous contract test (OCT).
  • 9 Claims best estimate (from Solvency II) to determine the percentage of RA for the purposes of calculating the liability for remaining coverage.

The valuation is performed by using the Solvency II LoBs as an aggregation and adopting as the sigma and average of the normal distribution, respectively: the expected sigmas 13 for the premium risk, for the purposes of calculating the RA for the LFRC, and the reserve risk, for the purposes of calculating the RA for the LIC, appropriately adjusted to be used in a log-normal distribution and multiplied by the square root of the duration, both taken from the Solvency II valuations (premiums best estimate duration and claims best estimate) as well as the averages obtained from the natural logarithm of the volume measures and the claims best estimates appropriately adjusted by reducing the sigma raised to the second power.

The risk adjustment in terms of absolute value is obtained by subtracting from the result of the normal distribution, with a confidence level at the 75th percentile, the amount of the volume measures and the claims best estimates at the date divided by Solvency LOB.

12 The risk adjustment uses the method with a run-off view for measurements at 31 December 2023. For this reason, the value of the presented sigma of the standard formula is adjusted for duration. For transition measurements and at 31 December 2022, a method with a one-year view was used. Therefore, the value of the sigma presented in the standard formula is not affected by the adjustment of duration, and is less than 75%.

The minimum duration value was set at 1.

13 The Group uses a different sigma from that of the standard formula in the presence of historically significant data that is supported by appropriate analysis, calibrating its value on its portfolio. At 31 December 2023, the sigma calibrated on the portfolio was used for the Suretyship portfolio only.

The amounts thus determined for each individual LOB are adjusted on the basis of the correlation indices established by Solvency II and, subsequently, taken from the Solvency II LOB to the REVO LOB based on the Solvency II LOB weight matrices obtained:

  • a. for OCT purposes on the basis of the premium VMs;
  • b. IRUWKHSXUSRVHVRIFDOFXODWLQJWKH5\$FRPSRQHQWIRU/)5&EDVHGRQWKH835)XWXUHLQVWDOPHQWV
  • c. for the purposes of calculating the RA component for LIC (liability for incurred claims) based on the claims UBEL.

The Group uses the PAA to measure insurance and reinsurance contracts held that are found to be eligible for a simplified methodology. The simplified methodology is permitted when the coverage period of each contract is one year or less or when the Company reasonably expects that the valuation of the liability for remaining coverage (LRC) will not differ materially from that deriving from the application of the General Model (based on a materiality threshold identified by the Company).

In the PAA model for insurance contracts, at the time of initial recognition of each group, the carrying amount of the LRC is calculated on the basis of premiums written less any acquisition costs attributed to the group. The LRC is recognised in the income statement on the basis of the contractual coverage period, in particular for the Group using the pro-rata temporis method.

Unless there are onerous contracts, the adjustment for non-financial risks is estimated only to determine liabilities for incurred claims (LIC).

If there are indications that a group of insurance contracts is onerous, the Company recognises a loss in costs for insurance services in the income statement and consequently increases the value of the LRC. This excess amount is recognised as a loss component within the LRC, which is recognised in liabilities deriving from insurance contracts in the statement of financial position.

In conclusion, the carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at each reporting date is obtained from the sum of the LRC and the LIC. Upon subsequent measurement, the carrying amount of the LRC is increased by any new premiums written and the amortisation of acquisition costs, less the amount recognised as insurance revenues for services provided and any additional insurance acquisition costs allocated after initial recognition.

The LIC includes cash flows relating to claims and expenses that have not yet been paid, including claims incurred but not reported. Its value reflects both an adjustment for non-financial risk and an adjustment for the time value of money, to take account of the time between the reporting and the settlement of the claim.

In each reporting period, the Company measures any loss component using the same calculation as that used at initial recognition and reflects any changes by adjusting the loss component as required until it is reduced to zero. If a loss component did not exist at the time of initial recognition but there are indications that a group of contracts has become onerous during a subsequent measurement, then the loss component is determined using the same methodology as that used at initial recognition.

For reinsurance contracts, the carrying amount at initial recognition of the ARC (assets for remaining coverage) is measured as the premiums ceded adjusted for cession fees.

When a group of onerous underlying contracts exists, a loss recovery component is created to adjust the value of the ARC. In measurements following initial recognition, the carrying amount ofreinsurance contracts held is the sum of the ARC and the AIC (assets for incurred claims). In particular, the carrying amount of the ARC is increased by any new premiums ceded and reduced by the amount recognised as reinsurance cost for the services received.

For contracts measured according to the PAA, the AIC reflects an adjustment for non-financial risk and the time value of money.

If a loss recovery component exists, at the time of subsequent assessments, it is adjusted to reflect the changes in the loss component of the group of underlying onerous contracts and cannot exceed the portion of the loss component that the Company expects to recover from the reinsurance contracts held.

Use of estimates

The measurement of the LIC includes estimates of future cash flows, appropriately adjusted to take into account the time value of money and the non-financial risk (uncertainty of flows in terms of amount and timing). These estimates reflect a range of possible scenarios and results, in which the cash flows for each scenario are discounted and weighted according to the estimated probability of occurrence in order to determine the expected present value.

The estimates reflect the Group's view of current expectations at the measurement date, which include both internal and external historical data updated to reflect current expectations that could affect the amount of cash flows.

The calculation of cash flows may include some measurements and professional judgements in circumstances where the existing inputs, assumptions or techniques do not capture all the relevant risks.

Some consideration is also given regarding the allocation of expenses. In particular, acquisition costs are allocated to contracts on the basis of total premiums, while claims management costs are allocated on the basis of the amount paid. General expenses are allocated based on the nature and cost centre of the expense and on the basis of earned premiums. These costs are recognised in the income statement when they are incurred.

The liability for incurred claims (LFIC) is determined using the following input data:

  • x The undiscounted best estimate liabilities for claims (hereinafter claims UBEL) used for annual Solvency II valuations;
  • x EIOPA discount curve (with volatility adjustment);
  • x Percentage of the risk adjustment reserve risk determined as follows.

The liability for incurred claims is calculated as the sum of the discounted claims UBEL and the discounted risk adjustment reserve risk component.

The claims UBEL is taken from the groupings of Solvency II contracts to the REVO LOB based on the weight matrix obtained from the claims provision for compensation and direct settlement costs (used in the valuation of the Company's local financial statements).

The discounting process 14 of the claims UBEL takes place via these steps:

  • x Choice of discount curve based on the date of occurrence of the claim forwarded at the measurement date;
  • x On the basis of the claim settlement dates, the respective points of the discount curve are taken and the relevant discount factor applied for each settlement date;
  • x On the basis of the current curve on the measurement date, the step in the previous point is repeated: therefore for each settlement date, the discount factor is applied and the relevant amount is discounted. To determine the amount of discounting due to the delta curve, the amount thus obtained will be deducted from the amount calculated with the forwarded curve referred to in the previous point.

A bottom-up approach is used. In order to be consistent with what has been done at the Solvency II level, the Group decided to use the EIOPA risk free curve, appropriately adjusted for the volatility adjustment component, as an estimate of the illiquidity premium established by IFRS 17.

The table below shows the discount rates used at the various measurement dates (transition, 31 December 2022 and 2023). It should be noted that the Group has decided to include all financial costs and income arising from the discounting of insurance liabilities in the income statement for the year:

$$rf_{t_{Q_l}} = rf_{t-1} * \left(\frac{4-i}{4}\right) + rf_t * \left(\frac{i}{4}\right), \qquad i = 1, \ldots, 4$$

where ݎ݂௧ is the rate provided by EIOPA for the year ݐ and ݅ the reference quarter.

14 The curve provided by EIOPA, as it is annual, has to be made quarterly in order to be consistent with the cash flow valuation step. This process is based on a linear interpolation approach in order to derive the rates for each quarter. The quarterly rates are calculated as follows:

28 2.71% 2.67%
29 2.72% 2.69%
30 2.73% 2.70%

With regard to the date of occurrence of the claims used, it should be noted that this is exclusively the year of occurrence and that for all years the reference discount curve will be that of 31 December of each year.

For the purposes of determining the settlement date, the settlement speed established by the Solvency II process is used. For the latter, the transition from an assessment made for grouping contracts under Solvency II to an assessment for REVO LOB is also carried out using the claims UBEL as a driver.

The total claims UBEL for REVO LOB at the various settlement dates is aggregated to obtain the UBEL by IFRS 17 portfolio based on the convergence table reported in the "aggregations" section of this chapter. For each IFRS 17 portfolio and for each settlement date, the settlement speed is obtained as the ratio of the claims UBEL at the date and the total claims UBEL.

The risk adjustment is calculated on the two components of claims UBEL and the discounted amount by multiplying for each IFRS 17 portfolio the RA percentage for the respective components of claims UBEL and the discounting factor.

Impacts at Transition date (1 January 2022)

The Transition date (1 January 2022) is the date of commencement of the annual period immediately preceding the effective date of the standard. The purpose of the Transition period is to carry out measurements, under IFRS 17, of the periods prior to the entry into force of the standard, to allow for a comparison of the results.

Following the eligibility test, the Group measured the entire business using the simplified PAA method on 1 January 2022. The following is a restated statement of financial position for the year beginning on 1 January 2022 (start date of the Transition period):

The following table shows the impact on equity of the application of IFRS 17 at 1 January 2022:

Equity 01.01.2022
Equity IFRS 4 218,477
IFRS 17 effects:
- PVFCF measurement -141
- inclusion of non-financial risk -1,254
- discounting of reserves and credit risk -70
- loss component net of loss recovery -
- deferred taxes 452
Equity 217,464

The effects of the application of IFRS 17 on 1 January 2022 were:

  • x a decrease of €1,013,000 in equity, as shown in the table above, recognised in the valuation reserve, mainly due to the determination of the PVFCF of the LIC (liability for incurred claims) reserve and the inclusion of non-financial risk
  • x the risk adjustment is the remuneration that the Company requires to bear the uncertainty of both the amount and the timing of cash flows deriving from non-financial risks associated with the insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts held. The resulting amount of the adjustment for the calculated risk corresponds to a consolidated confidence level of 75% with an overall impact on the total LIC (liability for incurred claims) reserves net of AIC (assets for incurred claims) of approximately 8% at 1 January 2022.

Additional IFRS 17 accounting information at 1 January 2023

Since the adoption of IFRS 17 on 1 January 2023, the Company has revised certain internal controls on financial reporting. These changes were necessitated by the implementation of new information systems, new actuarial processes, and the reconciliation of financial data between IFRS 4 and IFRS 17.

The Group's insurance contracts, measured using the PAA method, resulted in minimisation of the impact of the transition from IFRS 4 to IFRS 17.

The supplementary schedules for the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2022 are provided below, distinguishing between adjustments due to measurement changes following the adoption of the new standard and adjustments due to mere reclassification of amounts:

The main effects are reported below, taking the figures presented in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2022 shown above as a reference:

  • x The following are reported under "Adjustments":
  • 9 in the "insurance assets" item, a total change of €240,000 compared with IFRS 4 in measurements of reinsurance contracts relating to PVFCF and the risk adjustment;
  • 9 in the "equity" item, the effects of the FTA reserve as at 1 January 2022, amounting to €1,014,000, and the effect on the income statement of the adjustments resulting from the adoption of the new standard, with a total effect, net of taxes, of €877,000:
  • 9 in the "insurance liabilities" item, a total change of €40,000 compared with IFRS 4 in measurements of insurance contracts relating to PVFCF and the risk adjustment;
  • 9 in the "deferred tax liabilities" item, a total effect of €61,000 for the differences generated during the transition to the new IFRS 17;

Amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements Classification of liabilities as current or non-current

In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1 to clarify how to classify debt and other financial liabilities as current or non-current, and in particular how to classify liabilities with an uncertain settlement date and liabilities that can be settled through conversion to equity. These amendments are effective as of 1 January 2023. The Group has not recorded any material impact due to the adoption of these amendments.

IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting Policies

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, requiring entities to provide information on their material accounting policies, rather than significant accounting policies, and providing guidance on how to apply the concept of

materiality to the disclosure of accounting policies. These amendments in effect from 1 January 2023 did not have material impacts on the Group.

Amendments to IAS 8 - Changes in estimates and errors

In February 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 8, clarifying that entities are to distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates. These amendments are effective as of 1 January 2023. The Group has not recorded any material impact due to the adoption of these amendments.

Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

In May 2021, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 to clarify how entities should account for deferred tax liabilities on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations, transactions for which entities recognise both an asset and a liability. In particular, it was clarified that the exemption does not apply and that entities are required to recognise deferred taxation on such transactions. These amendments, effective as of 1 January 2023, have not resulted in any material impact for the Group.

Amendments to IAS 12 - "International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules"

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 12 - "Income Taxes" that allow companies to temporarily suspend the recognition of deferred taxes deriving from the international tax reform aimed at implementing the Pillar Two Model Rules of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), according to which large multinationals with turnover of over €750 million must pay a global minimum tax rate of 15% in each jurisdiction in which they operate. The amendments introduced:

  • x a temporary exception to the accounting of deferred taxes deriving from jurisdictions that implement global tax rules in order to help ensure the consistency of financial reporting while facilitating the implementation of the rules;
  • x disclosure requirements designed to help investors better understand a company's exposure to income taxes deriving from the reform, particularly before the legislation implementing the rules takes effect.

Companies may immediately benefit from the temporary exception, but are required to provide disclosure to investors for annual reporting periods starting on or after 1 January 2023.

These amendments did not have any impact on the Group, as it does not fall within the scope of the amendment.

New standards that have not yet entered into force

The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the European Union, and will become mandatory from 2024 or in subsequent years:

Amendments to IFRS 16 – Leases – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

In September 2022, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 16 with the aim of clarifying how the vendor and lessee may measure the sale and leaseback transaction in order to comply with the requirements of IFRS 15 to account for the sale. The amendment will enter into force on 1 January 2024. The Group does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have any material impact.

Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements – Non-current Liabilities with Covenants

The above amendments issued by the IASB on 31 October 2022 aims to clarify the conditions under which an entity may record a short-term or long-term liability. The amendment will enter into force on 1 January 2024. The Group does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have any material impact.

Amendments to IAS 7 -"Statement of Cash Flows" and IFRS 7 -"Financial Instruments: Disclosures"

In May 2023, the IASB published amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 following a request from IFRIC concerning the requirements for the presentation of liabilities and related cash flows arising from supplier finance arrangements (reverse factoring) and related additional disclosures.

Entities will be required to provide certain specific information (qualitative and quantitative) regarding supplier finance arrangements. The amendments also provide guidance on the characteristics of supplier finance arrangements.

The amendment will enter into force on 1 January 2024. The Group does not expect the adoption of these amendments to have any material impact.

New sustainability standards

With regard to sustainability reporting, on 26 June 2023 the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) published the first two standards:

  • x IFRS S1 General Sustainability-related Disclosures, which provides a series of disclosure requirements that aim to enable companies to disclose to investors the sustainability risks and opportunities they face in the short, medium and long term;
  • x IFRS S2 Climate-related Disclosures, which identifies specific climate-related corporate information designed to be used with IFRS S1.

The two standards came into effect on 1 January 2024: the information will therefore be available from 2025. The Company and the Group will be required to apply these standards jointly and are exploring the issues related to the

application of these new rules.

Part B – Accounting policies

Statement of financial position - assets

Intangible assets

In accordance with IAS 38, an intangible asset is only recognised if it is identifiable, controllable, is expected to generate future economic benefits and its cost can be reliably determined, but it does not include deferred acquisition costs, which must be included in the relevant item 6.2 "Other assets".

This category includes goodwill and other intangible assets, including application software for long-term use.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase cost over the acquirer's share of the fair value of the acquiree's identifiable net assets and liabilities. The purchase cost includes costs directly associated with the transaction.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any cumulative impairment losses. Goodwill is subjected to impairment testing, in order to avoid any impairment. In compliance with IAS 36, goodwill is not amortised.

The purpose of goodwill impairment testing is to identify the existence of any impairment of the value recorded as an intangible asset. To this end, cash generating units (CGUs), to which the goodwill is to be allocated, are first identified. Any impairment is equal to any negative difference between the carrying amount previously recognised and its recoverable amount. The latter is determined as the higher of the fair value of the cash-generating unit and its value in use, which is equal to the discounted future cash flows of the unit. If the reason for a previous impairment no longer pertains, in no case can the carrying amount be reinstated.

Other intangible assets

Intangible fixed assets with a finite useful life are measured at purchase cost or development cost net of amortisation and impairment. Amortisation must be calculated on the basis of useful life, starting from the time when the asset is available for use.

Meanwhile, other intangible fixed assets with an indefinite life are not subject to amortisation but are periodically tested for impairment.

The account also includes intangible assets under development and advances paid for the acquisition of intangible assets, although they cannot be amortised.

Property, plant and equipment

This item includes operating properties, plant, other machinery and equipment and other assets.

Property

In accordance with IAS 16, land and buildings destined for use by the Company are recorded in this category. Property is recognised at purchase cost net of depreciation and impairment. Directly attributable costs incurred to get the asset into the condition necessary for its operation according to business requirements are included.

Ordinary maintenance costs are charged directly to the income statement. Costs incurred after purchase are capitalised only if they can be reliably determined and if they increase the future economic benefits of the assets to which they relate; other costs are recognised in the income statement.

Depreciation, using the straight-line method, is charged over the estimated useful life of properties, ranging from 30 to 50 years.

Maintenance costs that are not ordinary in nature, improvements and transformations that result in an increase in the value, functionality or useful life of the assets, are directly capitalised, allocated to the assets to which they refer and depreciated. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are charged to the income statement.

Property is tested for impairment by comparing its carrying amount with its estimated fair value, determined according to specific appraisals. Impaired property assets are written down as required.

Other assets of property, plant and equipment

This item includes movable property, furnishings and office machinery.

These are recorded, as established by IAS 16, at purchase cost and subsequently recognised net of depreciation and any impairment. Included in the determination of cost are ancillary charges and directly attributable costs incurred to get the asset to the location and into the condition necessary for its operation according to business requirements. They are systematically depreciated on the basis of economic/technical rates determined in relation to their remaining useful life. Depreciation rates are reduced for purchases during the financial year by 50% compared with the rates indicated below, which apply from the year after the first year:

Rate
Furniture and fixtures 12%
Plant 15%
Other equipment 20%
Electronic machinery 20%
Movable property entered in public registers 25%

Repair and ordinary maintenance costs are charged to the income statement for the year in which they are incurred. Subsequent costs, which can be reliably determined and which increase the future economic benefits of the asset are capitalised and depreciated according to the remaining useful life of the asset to which they relate.

Pursuant to IAS 36, these assets are subject, at least once a year, to impairment testing (recognising as a loss the negative difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount) and to a residual useful life test.

If the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognised. If, subsequently, the loss no longer exists or is reduced, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit would be increased up to the new recoverable amount. However, this new amount may not exceed the amount determined prior to recognition of the loss.

Insurance assets

Insurance contracts issued that are assets

As required by paragraph 78 of IFRS 17 and referred to in IVASS Regulation No. 7/2007, this item includes insurance contracts, including reinsurance contracts, issued and investment contracts with discretionary participation features (DPFs), issued, defined and governed by IFRS 17, belonging to portfolios of insurance contracts written that are classified as assets, as the closing balance is positive.

Reinsurance contracts held that are assets

This item includes reinsurance cession contracts defined and governed by IFRS 17, belonging to portfolios of reinsurance cession contracts that are classified as assets, as the closing balance is positive.

This item includes receivables and payables vis-a-vis reinsurance companies or insurance companies relating to reinsurance relationships. They are recognised at their nominal value and subsequently measured at each reporting date at their estimated realisable value.

Investments

Investment property

In accordance with IAS 40, the Group considers investment property to be property assets held for the purpose of earning rental income or capital appreciation purposes, or both.

Investments intended for use by the Company or for sale in the ordinary course of its business are classified under "Property, plant and equipment".

Investment property is recorded at cost, less depreciation and any impairment. Also included in the determination of cost are ancillary costs and directly attributable costs incurred to get the asset into the condition necessary for its operation according to business requirements.

Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets.

Land, which is assumed to have an unlimited useful life, is not included in the depreciation process. For the purposes of the different accounting treatment, land and buildings are recorded separately, even if they were purchased together.

Repair costs and ordinary maintenance costs are charged to the income statement for the year in which they are incurred. Subsequent costs, which can be reliably determined and which increase the future economic benefits of the asset, are capitalised and depreciated according to the remaining useful life of the asset to which they relate.

Pursuant to IAS 36 -Impairment of Assets, investment property is tested for impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated fair value, determined through specific appraisals. Any negative difference is recognised in the income statement.

The Group does not have any investment property.

Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures

This item includes equity investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, regulated by IFRS 10, IAS 28 and IFRS 11, that are not classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5.

A company is defined as an associate when the investor exercises significant influence, having the power to participate in determining the investee's operational and financial decisions, without holding control or joint control. A significant influence is presumed to exist if the investor possesses, directly or indirectly, at least 20% of the votes exercisable at the shareholders' meeting.

Joint ventures are equity investments in jointly controlled arrangements in which the parties have rights to the assets and assume obligations for the liabilities relating to the arrangement; they differ from joint operations, which exist when joint control of an economic activity is contractually agreed, i.e. when decisions on the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties that share control.

Regardless of the legal form of the investee, the assessment of control takes into account the actual power over the investee and the actual ability to influence the relevant activities, regardless of the number of voting rights.

The measurement criterion adopted by the Group is the 'equity method', i.e. the accounting method by which the equity investment is initially measured at cost and subsequently adjusted as a result of changes in the investor's share of the investee's equity. The profit or loss of the investor reflects its share of the profit or loss for the year of the investee, as per the last approved financial statements.

The list of investments that make up this item is attached to these consolidated financial statements.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost

This category includes financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:

  • x the financial asset is held within a business model whose aim is achieved through the collection of contractual cash flows (a 'hold-to-collect' business model), and
  • x the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows consisting solely of payments of capital and interest on the principal amount outstanding (passing the SPPI test).

Initial recognition of the financial asset occurs at the settlement date for debt securities and at the disbursement date for loans. On initial recognition, assets are recorded at fair value, including transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument.

After initial recognition, loans and receivables are measured at amortised cost, which is equal to their initial value increased or decreased by principal repayments, impairment losses and gains and amortisation - calculated using the effective interest rate method - of the difference between the amount disbursed and the amount to be repaid at maturity, typically related to the costs and income directly attributable to the individual loan or receivable.

The amortised cost method is not used for loans or receivables, whose short duration makes the effect of applying the discounting logic negligible. Such loans or receivables are measured at their historical cost.

The accounting treatment is closely connected to the inclusion of the instruments in question in one of the three stages (stages of credit risk) provided for in IFRS 9, the last of which (Stage 3) includes non-performing financial assets and the remaining performing financial assets (Stages 1 and 2).

If the grounds for impairment cease to apply as a result of an event that occurs after an impairment loss has been recognised, impairment gain is made in the income statement. The gainmay not exceed the amortised cost that the financial instrument would have had in the absence of previous adjustments.

Financial assets measured at fair value through OCI

This category includes financial assets that meet both of the following conditions:

  • x the financial asset is held within a business model whose aim is achieved either through the collection of contractual cash flows or through sale (a hold-to-collect-and-sell business model); and
  • x the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows consisting solely of payments of capital and interest on the principal amount outstanding (passing the SPPI test).

This item also includes equity instruments not held for trading, for which the option of designation at fair value through other comprehensive income was exercised on initial recognition.

In particular, this item includes:

  • x debt securities attributable to a hold-to-collect-and sell business model that have passed the SPPI test;
  • x equity interests that cannot be classed as being in subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures and are not held for trading, for which the option of designation at fair value through other comprehensive income was exercised.

On initial recognition, assets are recorded at fair value, including transaction costs or income directly attributable to the instrument.

After initial recognition, assets classified at fair value through other comprehensive income, other than equity securities, are measured at fair value, with the impact of the application of amortised cost, impairment and any foreign exchange effect recognised in the income statement, while other gains or losses deriving from a change in fair value are recognised in a specific equity reserve until the financial asset is de-recognised. At the time of full or partial disposal, the gain or loss accumulated in the valuation reserve is reversed in the income statement.

Equity securities classified at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value, with the recognition of fair value gains of losses in equity and the recognition of dividend income in the income statement.

Financial assets are de-recognised only when the contractual rights to the associated cash flows expire or when the financial asset is sold with the substantial transfer of all the risks and rewards associated with the assets.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss

This item includes financial assets not classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income, in particular:

  • x financial assets held for trading;
  • x financial assets designated at fair value;
  • x other financial assets compulsorily measured at fair value, such as, in particular, financial assets other than those that give rise to cash flows on specific dates consisting solely of payments of capital and interest on the principal amount outstanding and assets that are not for held for trading but are managed within other business models.

Other financial assets

This item includes trade receivables from insurance intermediaries and financial assets. Sundry financial assets are recognised at their nominal amount and are subsequently measured at their estimated realisable value. Amortised cost was not applied as the application of this criterion would be practically the same as the historical cost and,

when determining the recoverable amount, no cash flows were discounted, which would yield completely negligible results.

Other receivables

Other sundry receivables that are not related to insurance. They are recognised at their nominal value and subsequently measured at their estimated realisable value and discounted where appropriate.

Other assets

This item includes non-current assets held for sale or disposal groups, current and deferred tax assets and other assets.

Non-current assets held for sale or disposal groups

Non-current assets held for sale or disposal groups are recognised under this item in accordance with IFRS 5. Non-current assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered mainly through a sale transaction rather than through their continuous use. This condition is considered fulfilled only when a sale is highly probable and the discontinued asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its current condition. Assets are recognised at the lower of their carrying amount and their fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. The resulting profit or loss, after tax, is presented separately in the statement of comprehensive income.

Current and deferred tax assets

These items include assets relating to current and deferred taxes, as defined and regulated by IAS 12. These assets are recognised in accordance with current tax legislation on an accruals basis. For tax assets recognised as deferred taxes, a check is periodically carried out on each reporting date for any changes in the relevant tax legislation that might determine a different valuation.

Sundry assets

Sundry assets include accrued income and prepaid expenses, tax assets other than those recognised under "Tax assets", such as assets associated with withholding agent activity and residual assets not included in the above items, in particular claims in course of payment.

Cash and cash equivalents

Other information

Fair value policy

IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the valuation date.

Allocation to one of the three fair value levels envisaged by IFRS 13 meets the following criteria:

  • x Financial instruments quoted on an active market;
  • x Financial instruments whose fair value has been determined on the basis of valuation techniques based on observable market parameters, other than the prices quoted for the financial instrument;
  • x Financial instruments whose fair value has been determined on the basis of valuation techniques based on parameters not observable in the market;

Observable market variables and assumptions are favoured in the definition of fair value and measurement techniques are only used in the absence of such inputs.

These valuation methods must be applied in hierarchical order: if, in particular, an active market price is available, no other valuation approach can be used.

In summary, first the prices quoted on active markets for the same or identical financial instruments were examined, then the inputs for the asset or liability, observable both directly and indirectly, and finally the inputs relating to the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

Application to assets and liabilities

Debt securities

If available, the fair value of bonds traded in an active and liquid market is defined by the market price. Otherwise, bonds, both Italian and foreign, that are not listed on active markets, are valued by referring respectively to:

  • x the price provided by the counterparty, if executable for the counterparty, or corroborated by adequate information on the model and input data used;
  • x the price provided by the issuer, corroborated by adequate information on the model and the input data used;
  • x the price provided by the Delegated Manager, corroborated by adequate information on the model and the input data used;
  • x at the price recalculated using internal valuation tools.

The same valuation methods are also applicable to asset-backed securities and securities issued by special purpose vehicles that are bonds or similar.

Equity securities

This category includes shares, exchange traded funds (ETFs), rights, warrants and covered warrants.

If an active market is available, the fair value of an Italian or foreign equity security is identified by reference to the price expressed by the reference market.

In the absence of any indications of value (i.e. in the absence of an active market), the valuation criterion followed varies according to the sector to which it belongs, in line with the valuation practices in use.

The methods applied are as follows:

  • x the 'sum of the parts' approach calculates the economic value of a company or business unit as the sum of the economic capital values attributable to the different lines of business within the same corporate structure. Specifically, the tangible equity of the company analysed is considered, adjusted for the difference between the carrying amount and the market value;
  • x the stock exchange multiples method determines the value of the economic capital of a company or business unit on the basis of market multipliers (stock exchange multiples) derived from the stock exchange prices of listed companies deemed comparable with the entity that is being valued;
  • x the discounted cash flow method, which estimates the value of a business or business unit on the basis of future cash flows;
  • x the Net Asset Value (NAV) method, which provides a "static" valuation of a company on the basis of the fair value of the net assets at a given date, without taking into account any income component.

Investment funds

In the case of listed investment funds, fair value is represented by the market price based on quotations in the active market.

Otherwise, the fair value is represented by the net asset value (NAV) communicated by the asset management company ("SGR") or by the fund administrator, or derived from the information provider.

Derivatives

With regard to derivatives (as defined by Legislative Decree No. 58 of 24 February 1998 (Consolidated Law on Finance), if listed on an active market, the fair value is determined by referring to the reference stock exchange price ("close" or "last price" of Bloomberg or alternative information providers).

The fair value of over the counter (OTC) derivatives is determined by referring to:

  • x the price provided by external counterparties, if executable for the purposes of transferring the transaction;
  • x the price provided by central counterparties (CCPs) for derivatives covered by EMIR procedures;
  • x the price recalculated using internal assessment tools or provided by third parties and corroborated by adequate information on the model and input data used.

At the reporting date, the Group is not making use of derivatives.

Other information pursuant to IFRS 16

A contract contains a lease if, in exchange for a consideration, it confers the right to control the use of a specified asset for a period of time.

For contracts in this category the right-of-use asset and the relevant financial liabilities are recognised, except in the following cases: short-term contracts (i.e. leases with a term of 12 months or less) or low-value assets (less than €5,000 when new).

The right-of-use asset and the relevant lease liability are recognised on the contract inception date

Financial liabilities are initially determined at the present value of future payments at the contract inception date, discounted at the implicit rate of the lease or, if this is not readily determinable, at the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. In subsequent entries, the amortised cost method is applied, i.e. the carrying amount of the liability is increased by the interest thereon and decreased to take account of payments made under the lease.

The value of the financial liability is recalculated (with a corresponding adjustment to the value of the right-of-use asset) in the following cases: a change in the term of the lease; a change in the exercise price of the purchase option; a change in the value of lease payments following changes in indices or rates; or amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees. The value of the liability is redetermined by discounting the new lease payments at the initial discount rate (unless the lease payments change as a result of a fluctuation in variable interest rates, in which case a revised discount rate is used).

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes: the initial value of the liability deriving from the lease; and lease payments made before or on the inception date of the contract. In subsequent entries, the right-of-use asset is recognised in the financial statements net of depreciation and any impairment. Depreciation is on a straight-line basis over the period between the inception date of the contract and the shorter of the lease term and the residual useful life of the underlying asset.

Statement of cash flows

The prospectus was prepared using the indirect method and in accordance with ISVAP Regulation No. 7 of 13 July 2007, distinguishing between operating, investing and financing activities.

Use of estimates

In accordance with the IFRS, the preparation of financial statements requires the use of estimates that affect the carrying amounts of assets, liabilities, costs and revenues, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

For the 2023 consolidated financial statements, the assumptions made are believed to be congruous and appropriate and the consolidated financial statements are believed to be prepared clearly, providing a true and fair view of the financial position, cash flows and financial performance for the year.

In order to make reliable estimates, reference was made to historical experience and other reasonable factors. In particular, estimates were used in:

  • x determining the present value of cash flows and the non-financial risk component for the purposes of measuring insurance assets and liabilities;
  • x determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, if the fair value is not observable on active markets;
  • x impairment testing;
  • x assessing the recoverability of deferred taxes and tax assets;
  • x the quantification of provisions for risks and charges;
  • x assessing the costs associated with stock option plans or other forms of share-based payment.

These estimates are reviewed periodically and the effects of changes are reflected in the income statement. However, due to the uncertainty inherent in these financial statement items, their actual values may differ from estimates due to the occurrence of unexpected events or changes in operating conditions.

In the following sections, the disclosures and analyses as required in Paragraph 93 et seq. of IFRS 17 are provided, specifically:

  • x disclosures that enable users of the financial statements to assess the nature and extent of risks deriving from insurance contracts;
  • x significant judgements made and any changes at the time of application;
  • x additional information enabling stakeholders to understand the Group's exposure to financial risks and how they are managed.

This is qualitative and quantitative information on exposure to insurance, market, credit and liquidity risk deriving from the use of financial instruments, as well as sensitivity analyses, which highlight the impact of changes in the main financial and insurance variables.

Intangible assets include start-up costs and other directly attributable deferred costs, and are recognised in the consolidated financial statements at purchase cost. They are amortised over five years on a straight-line basis according to their expected useful life, deemed appropriate to represent the residual useful life of the assets. No impairment losses have been recognised.

Goodwill

Goodwill, recognised following the acquisition by REVO SPAC of Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A. in November 2021, amounted to €74,323,000 and was unchanged compared with the end of the previous year.

During the year, no potential indicators of impairment were observed and, in particular, no indicators of a failure to achieve the objectives set out in the Plan or material changes with negative effects for the Group from a technological, market, economic and regulatory viewpoint.

Impairment testing

IAS 36 requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least once a year to determine whether there is evidence that the carrying amounts of assets may not be fully recoverable.

The impairment testing process involves ascertaining whether there are any indicators that the assets may have become impaired and then determining the amount of any such losses. Impairment indicators can essentially be divided into two categories:

  • x qualitative indicators, such as the achievement of negative results of operations or, in any case, a significant deviation from budget objectives or targets set out in long-term plans communicated to the market, and the announcement/commencement of bankruptcy procedures or restructuring plans;
  • x quantitative indicators, consisting of a carrying amount of the entity's net assets that is higher than its market capitalisation, or a carrying amount of the investment in the separate financial statements that is higher than the carrying amount in the consolidated financial statements of the net assets and goodwill of the investee, or the latter's distribution of a dividend that exceeds its total profit.

The portion of the purchase price of Elba Assicurazioni's equity investment, that is higher than the portion at current value (net fair value) of assets and liabilities, was accounted for as goodwill and represents a payment made in anticipation of

future economic benefits deriving from assets that cannot be identified individually and recognised separately. The ancillary costs incurred during the acquisition were charged to the income statement during the year.

In light of the current structure of the REVO Group and future corporate developments, focused, from the point of view of business development, on traditional and parametric insurance, mainly relating to the SME segment, the CGU was identified as the operating business itself, as there are no individual organisational/functional units capable of autonomously producing cash flows independently of each other.

With regard to the determination of value in use, parameters, methodologies and criteria commonly used by operators for this type of assessment have been adopted, such as the methodology of excess capital distributable beyond a certain Solvency Ratio threshold identified within the Company's risk appetite system, the cost of capital and the perpetual growth rate "g", determined on the basis of methodologies commonly used for valuation and forward-looking results based on the latest available economic and financial projections with a time horizon of at least four years.

On the basis of these methodologies, the impairment tests performed at 31 December 2023 were successful and did not entail any need to make write-downs.

Specifically, the cost of capital was determined on the basis of the CAPM (Capital Asset Pricing Model), with particular reference to a beta coefficient attributable to European insurance companies operating in the non-life segment and an equity risk premium attributable to the Italian market. On the basis of these parameters, and taking into account the fact that the Company is still limited in size and the project is still in the development phase, a cost of capital of 8.82% was identified, in addition to a nominal long-term growth rate "g" of 0.5%. For the purposes of quantifying potentially distributable capital, a Solvency Ratio threshold of 130% was identified.

A sensitivity analysis was also conducted, using broader values for the parameters described, including the cost of capital DQGWKHJURZWKUDWHêJë-0.5%) and the Solvency Ratio threshold (range of 120%-160%). This analysis did not indicate any need to recognise any goodwill impairment.

Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets totalled €14,092,000 (€8,748,000 at 31 December 2022).

The item includes multi-year costs of €14,026,000 incurred for the preparation and implementation of software relating to corporate information systems (€7,655,000 at 31 December 2022), advances on intangible fixed assets of €46,000 (€42,000 at 31 December 2022), trademarks, patents and similar rights of €11,000 and start-up and expansion costs of €9,000;

The increase in the item relating to information systems was specifically due to the implementation of the strategic development plan that envisaged substantial IT investments to support and sustain the Group during the business development phase (in particular the change in the accounting management system and the development of the OverX platform, designed, inter alia, to simplify and facilitate underwriting processes).

This category includes financial assets held to collect contractual cash flows, the terms of which give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The amount of €3,088,000 refers to deposits in escrow accounts designed to secure the obligations assumed by the sellers of Elba Assicurazioni S.p.A. shares to pay indemnities other than those of a tax nature as specified in the share purchase agreement signed on 19 July 2021. The amount deposited is expected to be released by 30 December 2026, as per the escrow agreement of 30 November 2021.

The change recorded in the escrow deposits with respect to 31 December 2022, amounting to approximately €1,000, is due to the release that took place in December 2023 in relation to tax guarantees provided for in the purchase agreement.

In the first half of 2022, the Company announced a plan to allot bonus ordinary shares, named the "2022-2024 Performance Share Plan" (the "Plan"), reserved for the Chief Executive Officer and employees of the Company who perform significant roles or functions and for which an action is justified that will strengthen their loyalty with a view to creating value.

The Plan was approved by the Company's Shareholders' Meeting of 4 April 2022.

The allotment of shares is subject to verification by the Board of Directors, for the year ending 31 December 2024, of a consolidated Solvency II Ratio higher than 130%, while the number of shares to which each beneficiary is entitled will depend on the number of rights allotted to each beneficiary, the level of performance targets achieved by the Company as defined in the Plan rules and the weighting attributed to individual targets.

Beneficiaries will be required to hold 50% of the shares received in each tranche for at least one year from the allotment date.

Provisions for risks and charges 2,987 3,243 -256
Total 2,987 3,243 -256

At 31 December 2023, this item includes provisions for future risks amounting to €2,987,000 (€3,243,000 at 31 December 2022) that refer, in accordance with IAS 37, to all future risks arising from potential terminations of agency relationships existing at 31 December 2023 (the "TFM provision", amounting to €2,856,000 at 31 December 2022). It should be noted that in 2023, the allocation of €200,000 recognised at 31 December 2022 was fully utilised following the settlement of a non-insurance dispute, and that with regard to the payment order relating to a counterfeit surety policy, it was decided to release the allocated amount of €120,000, following the expert report ordered by the judge, who accepted the argument that the signatures on the surety policy were not authentic.

The agents' end-of-service provision benefited from the review of mandate agreements with the new agencies, which began in 2022, in order to determine and maintain provisions in the financial statements for the part within the Company's remit not covered by an appropriate indemnity, and was affected by the utilisation of €31,000 to pay some agencies that reached the end of their mandates.

Item 3. Insurance liabilities

16 The weighted average number of outstanding shares is calculated by adding to the weighted average of outstanding ordinary shares the number of ordinary shares in the event of conversion of special shares at the established conversion rate.

Insurance costs deriving from insurance contracts written 118,677 45,252

Costs of insurance services increased by a total of €73,426,000.

The overall performance of claims-related expenses at 31 December, measured in terms of loss ratio was, although increasing, appropriate in view of the development and diversification of other lines of production, standing at 42.0% 17, compared with 20.3% in 2022.

In absolute terms, the costs of insurance services provided by insurance contracts written increased, mainly due to the effect of the Property portfolio (€26,164,000), the MAT Specialty lines portfolio which although negligible in 2022, recorded an increase of €24,760,000 caused by the reporting of six large claims for a claims-related expense net of reinsurance of approximately €2,790,000, and the Agro portfolio, which recorded an increase of €12,751,000, linked both to the development of the business underwritten and to the weather events that occurred during 2023, causing substantial damage to crops.

The technical performance of the Suretyship portfolio was, once again, particularly profitable, with an increase of €375,000 in insurance costs compared with 2022 and a ratio of claims for the year to insurance revenue net of reinsurance unchanged compared with 2022 at 12.5%.

With regard to the largest claims 18, the following should be noted:

  • x ten claims relating to cover underwritten in 2022, of which six occurred in 2023, with an overall negative impact of €8,577,000 and €4,129,000 net of reinsurance (five relating to the Property LOB for €2,289,000 net and five relating to the Engineering LOB for €1,840,000, both of which relate to the Property portfolio);
  • x seven claims incurred in 2023 relating to the Bond portfolio with a total negative impact of €5,072,000 and €2,603,000 net of reinsurance;
  • x six open claims relating to the MAT portfolio in 2023 and concerning cover underwritten in 2022 and 2023, with an overall negative impact of €7,736,000 and €2,790,000 net of reinsurance;
  • x a claim in 2023 relating to the General liability portfolio with an overall negative impact of €502,000 and €301,000 net of reinsurance.

The claims provision was strengthened by setting aside a higher IBNR, net of reinsurance, of €2,916,000, and €1,628,000 net of reinsurance, the result of a normal increase in overall business.

17 The loss ratio is obtained by comparing claims from direct and indirect business with insurance revenue before commissions and the value of the portfolio acquired (ex. VoBA).

18 With an impact net of reinsurance of more than €200,000.

Item 20. Taxes

Taxes 31.12.2023 31.12.2022 Change
Taxes 424 -287 711
Total 424 -287 711

Taxes have been accounted for in accordance with current tax provisions on an accruals basis.

Deferred tax assets are duly adjusted taking into account the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding values recognised for tax purposes.

The balance at 31 December 2023 of €424,000 was affected by the following factors:

x current taxes: the calculation of current regional business tax and corporation tax benefited from €2,863,000 in a tax relief for the New Patent Box (hereinafter "NPB"), linked to the OverX software, as it is particularly innovative and potentially worthy of legal protection.

Decree-Law No. 146 of 21 October 2021, "Urgent measures on economic and fiscal matters, to protect employment and for requirements that cannot be deferred", published in the Official Journal of 21 October 2021 No. 252, which came into force on 22 October 2021, made radical changes to the "patent box" system for tax relief on income from the direct or indirect use of certain intangible assets, which was introduced in 2015. The government amendment to the 2022 Budget Law, approved on 28 December 2021, confirmed the repeal of the Patent Box (old scheme), but corrected the start date indicated in the Decree-Law. The scheme has been cancelled based on the options starting from the 2021 financial year (five-year period 2021-2025), while the options for the five-year period 2020-2024 remain valid, including if they are exercised after 22 October 2021, although effectively they are weaker.

The option is valid for five tax periods and is irrevocable and renewable.

Relief may be obtained on costs incurred directly or indirectly in the conduct of business activities, for the research and development of copyrighted software, industrial patents, designs and models. Research and development activities may be carried out inside the undertaking or externally by means of research agreements with universities, research organisations or companies not directly or indirectly linked to the party requesting the relief.

The costs incurred for eligible intangible assets benefit from a specific incremental deduction of 110% for corporate income tax purposes. The option exercised is valid for both regional business tax (IRAP) and corporation tax (IRES) purposes.

x DTA/DTL on IFRS adjustments: at 31 December 2023, the adjustment of amortisation of statutory goodwill of €8,904,000 is present: this does not generate corresponding deferred tax assets as statutory goodwill is not relevant for tax purposes.

The following table sets out the reconciliation between the tax rate and the effective rate:

Total deferred IRES and IRAP tax liabilities/assets -1,068 3,047

The temporary differences that generated deferred tax assets, as shown in the above table, are the same as those recorded in previous years.

Following the reverse merger between REVO and ELBA, which had retroactive effect as of 1 January 2022, the latter's financial investments were revalued at market value on that date, generating a positive difference of €878,000 (higher values deriving from the allocation of goodwill arising on the merger). To avoid any difference between accounting and tax values, the Company has opted to apply the substitute tax for corporation tax (IRES) and regional business tax (IRAP), obtaining tax recognition of the higher values recognised in the financial statements. Accordingly, to all intents and purposes, this is a substitute tax payable in January 2024.

The tax loss of REVO generated during 2021 has been fully utilised.

Fair value measurement

IFRS 13 regulates the measurement of fair value and the related disclosure.

A breakdown of the measurement at fair value and the amount of investments and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated financial statements is provided below.

As can be seen from the table above, there are no investments or financial liabilities whose carrying amount differs from their fair value.

With respect to the fair value hierarchy, it should be noted that the item "Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income" includes the equity investment in Mangrovia Blockchain Solutions S.r.l., allocated to Stage 3. Please refer to the "Investments" section of these notes for details.

During the year, there were no purchases or sales of the equity investment, the qualitative and quantitative measurement of which confirmed the value recognised in the 2022 annual financial statements.

The remaining securities in the "Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income" item are all allocated to Stage 1.

The security under the "Financial assets measured at FVTPL" item is allocated to Stage 2.

The following table illustrates the above information on the breakdown of assets and liabilities by fair value levels.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group operates exclusively in the non-life insurance sector and the entire portfolio is valued using the premium allocation approach, as set out in previous chapters of these documents. For this reason, the sensitivity analyses were performed by analysing the change in the liability for incurred claims and the corresponding reinsurance item, "Asset for incurred claims", by amending the following measures:

  • x 7KHGLVFRXQWUDWHRI- 0.5 percentage points;
  • x *URVVDQGQHWFDVKIORZVRI- 5%.

7KHFKDQJHLQWKHGLVFRXQWUDWHRI- 0.5 percentage points resulted in:

  • x an impact on the liability for incurred claims of -DQGWKHDVVHWIRULQFXUUHGFODLPVRI-
  • x DQHIIHFWDIWHUWD[DQGEHIRUHUHLQVXUDQFHRQSURILWIRUWKH\HDURI-DQGDIWHUGLVSRVDORI-1.0%.

The change in the undiscounted best estimate liabilities for claims ('UBEL' claims) and the Reinsurance Recoverable 8QGLVFRXQWHG&ODLPVRI-5% resulted in:

  • x an impact on profit for the year of -DIWHUWD[HIIHFWVDQGEHIRUHUHLQVXUDQFH
  • x an impact on profit for the year of -DIWHUWD[HIIHFWVDQGUHLQVXUDQFH

Credit risk

With regard to credit risk, the maximum exposures of the Group to the various credit categories related to the insurance business are shown below:

  • x Receivables due from intermediaries at 31 December 2023 amounted to €4,852,000 and the maximum exposure to a single intermediary was approximately €605,000;
  • x Receivables from policyholders amounted to €47,608,000 at 31 December 2023, and the maximum exposure to an individual policyholder was €1,755,000;
  • x Receivables from insurance and reinsurance companies and brokerage agencies relating to indirect and ceded business amounted to €5,614,000 at 31 December 2023. The maximum exposure concerns two receivables from individual insurance companies of €1,228,000 and €1,076,000, respectively.

Reinsurance treaties were signed with leading reinsurance companies, significantly reducing the Group's counterparty risk. The following table sets out the ratings of the companies in the panel:

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the risk of not having sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet commitments arising from contracts within the scope of application of IFRS 17, or of not being able to meet cash outflows (both expected and unexpected) according to cost-effectiveness criteria without prejudicing daily operations or the financial situation. This risk due to uncertainty about the amounts and timing of the cash flows associated with insurance contracts may mainly arise:

  • x as a result of reduced premium income;
  • x from the need to settle an insurance claim or an unplanned cost;
  • x from failure to repay/collect a payable/receivable vis-a-vis a counterparty within the specified time;
  • x from an operational error.

Liquidity risk management takes place through the monitoring and definition of tolerance thresholds for the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR), which quantifies as a percentage the coverage of the expected cash outs, according to this formula:

/&5 ,QLWLDOFDVKEDODQFHɇ incoming flows) / ɇ outgoing flows These thresholds are monitored on a quarterly basis with reference to a short-term time horizon (90 days) and a mediumterm time horizon (24 months) based on forecast cash flows from the approved rolling business plan. Monitoring is performed by means of stress analysis.

If the thresholds are breached and according to the severity of the breach, the Company decides on the actions to take, according to their cost-effectiveness:

    1. use of cash and the sale of securities in the portfolio;
    1. bank loans.

The action referred to in the first point is carried out as a priority, but not exclusively, in order to rebalance net cash flows in a manner commensurate with the magnitude of the mismatch and on the basis of the powers and levels of autonomy of the persons delegated by senior management to perform monitoring and on the basis of what is defined in the relevant internal policy.

For the purposes of analysing the maturities of cash outflows, the table below sets out the liability for incurred claims by maturity, gross of the discounting effect and without considering the risk adjustment component, broken down by IFRS 17 portfolio:

Maturity up to 1 year 2 to 5 years 6 to 10 years 11 to 20 years over 20 years

Revenue or cost elements of exceptional size or impact

During the year, in accordance with Article 2427, paragraph 13, of the Italian Civil Code, exceptional costs of €1,288,000 were incurred, mainly linked to the voluntary tender offer (takeover bid), the request for authorisation from IVASS to operate in the 17-Legal expenses class and tax assistance for the facilitation of New Patent Box.

Long-term incentives – LTI Plan

On 4 April 2022, the Company's Shareholders' Meeting approved a performance share plan entitled the "2022-2024 Performance Share Plan" (hereinafter, the "Plan"), the rules of which were defined and approved by the Board of Directors of REVO Insurance S.p.A. on 26 May 2022.

The Plan is a valuable tool for retaining and motivating the individuals who play a key role in achieving the Group's objectives, and for aligning the interests of key company personnel with those of other stakeholders, with a view to the long term and the pursuit of sustainable development.

In particular, the Plan sets out the following main terms and conditions:

  • x it has a total duration of three years starting from 2022;
  • x beneficiaries will be allocated a number of rights to receive, free of charge, ordinary shares in the Parent Company, if the triggering condition is met and the predetermined performance targets and thresholds are achieved;
  • x the individual targets to which the allotment of shares is subject are defined by the Board of Directors and are based on the following parameters of performance and sustainability, which are objectively measurable and consistent with the business priorities: Adjusted Operating ROE, P/E (Price-to-Earnings) and ESG Objectives defined in the Business Plan;
  • x even if the performance targets are met, REVO Insurance S.p.A. may not allocate shares under the 2022-2024 Performance Share Plan if the Solvency II Ratio is lower than 130% (the gate);
  • x the maximum number of rights that can be allotted and shares that can be allotted to each beneficiary at the end of the three-year reference period is determined by the Board of Directors, with the Chief Executive Officer having the right to make changes both by reducing and, in certain justified cases, increasing the number of rights allotted to beneficiaries of the Plan, other than the CEO himself, for which the Board of Directors remains

responsible, as identified, without prejudice to the overall maximum limit; all of this being in accordance with the procedural requirements for transactions with related parties;

  • x a three-year total vesting period has been established;
  • x the shares are allotted to each beneficiary at the end of the vesting period following an assessment of the performance objectives achieved and without prejudice to achievement of the Solvency II Ratio;
  • x malus and clawback mechanisms are in place in accordance with the Company's remuneration policies and hedging prohibitions.

Overall, the shares allotted and accruing to service the Plan amount to approximately 678,000, for a total value of €5,239,000, of which €2,438,000 has already been recognised in the income statement.

Contingent liabilities, purchase commitments, guarantees, pledged assets and collateral

At 31 December 2023, the Group did not record any contingent liabilities, purchase commitments or guarantees.

Although not reported in the statement of financial position, for some insurance contracts written, collateral guarantees were obtained (mainly pledges on life policies and bank guarantees) to be used, in the event of enforcement of the policy, to ensure the recovery of any sums paid to policyholders.

Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of the Revo Insurance Group (the "group"), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, the income statement and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended and notes thereto, which include material information on the accounting policies.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the group's financial position as at 31 December 2023 and of its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulations implementing article 90 of Legislative decree no. 209 of 7 September 2005.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of Revo Insurance S.p.A. (the "parent") in accordance with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy to audits of financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Responsibilities of the parent's directors and board of statutory auditors ("Collegio Sindacale") for the consolidated financial statements

The directors are responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed by the European Union and the Italian regulation implementing article 90 of Legislative decree no. 209 of 7 September 2005 and, within the terms established by the Italian law, for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

about the transition to IFRS 17.

The directors are responsible for assessing the group's ability to continue as a going concern and for the appropriate use of the going concern basis in the preparation of the carve-out consolidated financial statements and for the adequacy of the related disclosures.

The use of this basis of accounting is appropriate unless the directors believe that the conditions for liquidating the parent or ceasing operations exist, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Collegio Sindacale is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by the Italian law, the group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISA Italia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISA Italia, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
  • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group's internal control;
  • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors;
  • conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group to cease to continue as a going concern;
  • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
  • obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at the appropriate level required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with the ethics and independence rules and standards applicable in Italy and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, the measures taken to eliminate those threats or the safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current year and are, therefore, the key audit matters. We describe these matters in this report.

Opinion pursuant to article 14.2.e) of Legislative decree no. 39/10 and article 123-bis.4 of Legislative decree no. 58/98

The parent's directors are responsible for the preparation of the group's reports on operations and on corporate governance and ownership structure at 31 December 2023 and for the consistency of such reports with the related consolidated financial statements and their compliance with the applicable law.

We have performed the procedures required by Standard on Auditing (SA Italia) 720B in order to express an opinion on the consistency of the report on operations and the specific information presented in the report on corporate governance and ownership structure indicated by article 123-bis.4 of Legislative decree no. 58/98 with the group's consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2023 and their compliance with the applicable law and to state whether we have identified material misstatements.
