• Premium income up 20.2% • Pre-tax profit of Euro 14.2 million (Euro 9.5 million in September 2021) and normalised net profit of Euro 11.1 million (Euro 9.6 million in Q3 2021) • Combined Ratio (net reins.) at 68% (73% in 2021) • Resilient capital position: Group Solvency Ratio of 166.4% (177.5% as at 30 September 2021)
Rome, 9 November 2022 – The Net Insurance S.p.A. Board of Directors, which met today under the Chairmanship of Ms. Luisa Todini, has approved the Consolidated Interim Management Report at 30 September 2022.
In the first nine months of the year, gross premiums written of the Net Insurance Group amounted to Euro 136.9 million, a 20.2% increase compared to the figure in the previous year. Premiums related to Salary-backed loan amounted to Euro 74.5 million (+6.3% compared to 30 September 2021), those of Bancassurance and Brokers amounted to Euro 32.8 million (+53.5%), while those reported in the Agro segment amounted to Euro 29.6 million (up 32%).
The Bancassurance channel significantly drives growth in both Non-Life and Life Protection compared to Q3 2021.
In the Non-Life segment premiums amounted to Euro 69.9 million (+20%). In particular, for the Salary-backed loan, allocated to the Credit class, there was stability in premiums compared to the first nine months of 2021, while there was significant double-digit growth in the other Non-Life segments.
In the Life insurance segment, premiums amounted to Euro 67 million (+20.4%); 75% related to Salary-backed loan and the remainder to "temporary covers in the
event of death" underlying products distributed by the bancassurance and broker channel.
The "turnover" data is therefore fully in line with end-of-2022 targets. A breakdown of premiums, as at 30 September 2022, by insurance segment, is shown in the attached Table 1, compared with the same period of the previous year.
Net expenses from claims1 amounted to Euro 19 million (Euro 17.6 million as at 30 September 2021), which is attributable to the increase in the portfolio.
Thus, overall, the claims figures are also consistent with the year-end targets.
Ordinary expenses amounted to Euro 16.9 million (as at 30 September 2021 they stood at Euro 15.4 million) and were fully in line with year-end expectations2 .
The operational margin (net technical result)3 amounted to Euro 14.2 million, compared to Euro 10 million in Q3 2021.
Consequently, in terms of technical business performance, the combined ratio ("CoR") stood at 68% net of reinsurance (73% in September 2021) and 93% gross of reinsurance (in 2021 it was 92%).
The investments of the Group amounted to Euro 216.2 million (+7.3% compared to 31 December 2021). The financial management result amounted to Euro 1.5 million (Euro 2.2 million as at 30 September 2021) and the decrease was mainly due to the impairment on the Gazprom bond for Euro 216 thousand (the only direct position in Russian issuers in the Companies' portfolio).
However, the result is in line with the figure expected for the end of the year.
Profit for the period before tax amounted to Euro 14.2 million (compared to Euro 9.5 million approximately, at 30 September 2021).
1 The expense item is the portfolio's claims ratio, as per the Company's reclassified income statement. This differs from the item "net expenses from claims" in the consolidated balance sheets because it does not include the change in Life reserves (amounting to Euro 24.6 million as at 30 September 2022 compared to Euro 12.6 million as at 30 September 2021), which are included for reclassification purposes in earned premiums. The increase in the change in Life reserves is related to the growth in the portfolio.
2 The figure for Ordinary Expenses is estimated at Euro 23.1 million as at the end of the year.
3 The net technical result derives from the sum of premiums, claim expenses, commissions to distribution networks, reinsurance technical result and operating expenses. This indicator does not include the effect of the extraordinary assignment of an irrecoverable loan portfolio arising from Salary-backed loan contracts.
Normalised net profit4 amounted to Euro 11.1 million (Euro 9.6 million in Q3 2021), compared to the Euro 13.6 million forecast in the Plan for the full year 2022.
Finally, the Group's net profit for the period amounted to Euro 10.5 million (in Q3 2021 it amounted to Euro 8.6 million). The tax rate amounted therefore to 26.3% of the pre-tax profit for the period; in the third quarter of the previous year, the tax rate was just over 9% where it was affected by the recognition of deferred taxes related to the brand revaluation process.
During the period under review, the Group's consolidated shareholders' equity amounted to Euro 79 million, a decrease of 11% compared to 31 December 2021 (equity amounted to Euro 88.8 million). The decrease is attributable to the recognition in the reserve " Profit or losses on available-for-sale financial assets" of the depreciation of financial instruments in the portfolio.
In terms of solvency, the Group's Solvency II Ratio as at 30 September was 166.4% (as at Q3 2021 it was 177.5%), due to market tensions.
The solvency indicator, taking into account the strong financial volatility observed, showed its resilience and is to be considered particularly positive.
In the fourth quarter of the year, the Company will remain focused on continuing the strategic objectives outlined in the 2022-2025 Business Plan in all business segments. In particular, further efforts will be made to strengthen the Group's presence in the Salary-backed loan "core" business through:
Lastly, still on the subject of Salary-backed loans, periodic portfolio checks and assessments should be noted, also in the light of contingent economic and macroeconomic scenarios.
4 This figure is net of non recurrent charges and revenues, therefore linked to events of an extraordinary nature.
In the bancassurance and broker sector, the following are planned for the fourth quarter of 2022:
"These results reveal the intense planning of the current financial year and confirm that management performance continues to be substantially in line with expectations, despite the marked scenario volatility and in the context of the launch of the extraordinary operation by Poste Vita," stated Andrea Battista, CEO of Net Insurance.
