The income statement and balance sheet figures relating to the first nine months of 2023 were drawn up in accordance with the new accounting standard IFRS 17 on insurance contracts which came into force on 1 January 2023 and accounting standard IFRS 9 on financial instruments which now also applies to insurance companies. The new accounting standards were also applied retroactively to the figures reported for 2022 to facilitate comparison on a like-for-like basis only2 .
The UnipolSai Group ended the first nine months of 2023 with a consolidated net profit of €586m compared to the consolidated net profit of €616m for the corresponding period of the previous year recorded using the accounting standards previously in effect. The figure from the first nine months of 2022 which was recalculated using the new accounting standards for comparison purposes would have been €262m.
Direct insurance income, including reinsurance ceded, stood at €10,570m in the first nine months of 2023, up 7.5% on the figure of €9,834m recorded at 30 September 2022.

1 Figure excluding reinsurance calculated according to the accounting standards and methods in effect at the time.
2 Starting from 2023, to provide a clearer picture of the actual contribution to the consolidated results, the income statement and balance sheet results previously attributed to the property business were allocated to the life business if they referred to activities where the returns influence the benefits to disburse to insurance investment policy subscribers and to the holdings and other businesses for the remaining portion.

ecosystems in which the Group operates. In addition to the other main Group companies, the insurance company UnipolSai contributed to this result, with non-life premiums of €4,821m (+0.8%). More specifically, UniSalute collected premiums of €562m (+37.0%), due in part to the UniSalute 2.0 project launch whereby the Group agency and bancassurance distribution networks offer retail and SME customers health products from the insurance company. Linear collected a total of €159m in premiums (+9.7%).
Arca Assicurazioni also posted strong results with premiums of €199m (+10.3%).
The MV business was up by 1.2% over the same period last year with premiums of €2,858m, benefitting from the tariff increases which had to be implemented as the average cost of claims rose due to current inflationary pressures.
The 6.2% increase over the first nine months of 2022 in non-MV premiums to €3,216m was even higher, benefitting from the development of the health business.
The Mobility Ecosystem recorded income of €3,131m (+1.0%). UnipolRental continued to expand and took over SIFÀ - Società Italiana Flotte Aziendali - on 1 July last within the scope of a major industrial project in the long-term rental sector. The merger consolidates UnipolRental's position as the pre-eminent wholly Italian owned company in the long-term rental sector, with over 130,000 vehicles in its fleet.
The Welfare Ecosystem reported income of €1,255m (+9.2%), with a significant increase in the health businesses (€762m, +16.6%).
The Property Ecosystem, with income of €1,688m, posted growth of 5.3%.
The combined ratio3 , including the reinsurance balance, stood at 98.6% compared to 97.1% recorded in the first half of 2023. The combined ratio in the first nine months of 2022 amounted to 93.2% calculated pursuant to the accounting standards and methods employed at the time.
The decrease in the combined ratio recorded between the first half of the year and 30 September 2023 is attributable to the impact of the weather events which hit Northern Italy in July with wind and hailstorms. On the other hand, there was an improvement in the Motor TPL business in the third quarter.
The pre-tax result for the non-life business amounted to €527m compared to €731m recorded in the first nine months of 2022, reported with the previous accounting standards.
