Statement of David Knibbe, CEO

'Today we are reporting strong results for the first half of 2024, highlighting we remain well on track to deliver on our strategic and financial targets for 2025. The results were driven by a continued solid financial and commercial performance in the Netherlands and our growing European markets. Operating capital generation (OCG) was EUR 959 million in the first half of 2024, compared with EUR 997 million in the first half of 2023, reflecting a lower contribution from Netherlands Non-life, which benefitted from favourable claims in the same period last year including benign weather. This was partly offset by higher contributions from Netherlands Life, Insurance Europe and our Banking business. Despite a number of large fire claims at the start of 2024, Netherlands Non-life continued its strong business performance with a combined ratio of 92.2%.

We continue to see high demand for our products and services as reflected by the higher value of new business, which increased by 23% to EUR 241 million in the first half of 2024, supported by higher pension volumes at Netherlands Life and solid sales of protection and pension products across our European markets. In addition, Netherlands Life reported net inflows of EUR 1.2 billion at its defined contribution pension business.

The results demonstrate the strength of our diverse businesses and the sustained execution of our strategy focused on our customers, our colleagues and contribution to society. Customer satisfaction scores, as measured by the relational Net Promoter Score (NPS-r), continued their underlying positive trend, especially in our international markets. Further improving the customer experience remains our focus in all our markets, and we are successfully scaling artificial intelligence (AI) applications across NN to support agents and our employees.

We continue to play our role in contributing to a more sustainable economy and society through our business activities and investments. In February, we committed EUR 350 million to finance a portfolio of assets in the coming years, focused on climate change mitigation and adaption and the broader energy transition. Total investments in climate solutions were EUR 11.5 billion by the end of the first half of 2024.

Our solid business performance and operating capital generation underpin our commitment to our capital return policy of a growing dividend per share and an annual share buyback of at least EUR 300 million. On 27 May 2025, we will host a Capital Markets Day to provide the market with an update of our strategy and targets. We would like to thank our customers, our colleagues, and our shareholders for their continued commitment and trust.'

Consolidated results

  • OCG was EUR 959 million in the first half of 2024, a slight decrease from the same period last year which benefitted from positive experience, reflecting a lower contribution from Netherlands Non-life and the reinsurance business, partly offset by Netherlands Life, Insurance Europe and Banking
  • Operating result decreased to EUR 1,329 million in the first half of 2024 from EUR 1,400 million in the first half of 2023. Growth of Insurance Europe was offset by lower investment results at Netherlands Life, less favourable claims experience of Netherlands Non-life and a lower interest result at Banking
  • The result before tax increased to EUR 824 million in the first half of 2024 from EUR 758 million in the first half of 2023, mainly due to reduced negative effects related to financial markets. The net result increased to EUR 648 million from EUR 586 million in the first half of 2023.
  • Value of new business (VNB) increased by 23% to EUR 241 million in the first half of 2024, reflecting a higher volume in Netherlands Life and Insurance Europe

Netherlands Life significantly contributed to NN Group's OCG supported by favourable markets, with stable longterm remittances expected to continue.

Netherlands Non-life continued to report strong business results, considering claims increasing compared with the first half of 2023, which benefitted from low claims in both Property & Casualty and Disability. This has translated into sustained solid remittances to the holding.

The increase of Insurance Europe's OCG reflects our successful push into higher margin protection products in underpenetrated insurance markets and a healthy growth of our pensions businesses.

Japan Life's VNB has decreased substantially due to lower sales following the improvement order issued by the local regulator (FSA) in the first quarter of 2023. We expect growth to remain subdued until Japan Life can start to restore its market share which is not expected before early 2025.

We see sustained delivery of the Bank, where OCG still benefits from an elevated net interest income and lower balance sheet growth.

The recent performance of the segment Other remains strong, mainly driven by favourable debt costs and investment results as well good results of the reinsurance business.

Despite wider government bond spreads and weaker equity performance in the first half of 2024, our Solvency II ratio of 192% remained at the upper end of the 150-200% comfort range. The business performance and operating capital generation continue to underpin our commitment to the capital return policy of a growing dividend per share and a minimum annual share buyback of EUR 300 million.

NN Group's OCG slightly decreased to EUR 959 million compared with EUR 997 million in the first half of 2023. The lower contribution of Netherlands Non-life and the reinsurance business was partly offset by a higher contribution from Netherlands Life, Insurance Europe and Banking.

Netherlands Life OCG increased to EUR 536 million from EUR 523 million in the first half of 2023, mainly driven by higher mortgage spreads resulting in a higher investment return.

The OCG of Netherlands Non-life decreased to EUR 153 million from EUR 210 million in the first half of 2023, which benefitted from benign weather in Property & Casualty (P&C) and positive claims experience in the Group Income portfolio. In the first half of 2024, there was an increase in claims in P&C, partly due to large fire claims in the first quarter of 2024.

Insurance Europe's OCG increased to EUR 229 million from EUR 218 million in the first half of 2023. The growth was mainly driven by strong performance of the pensions businesses as well as an increased contribution from new business.

OCG of Japan Life was broadly stable at EUR 65 million. A higher investment return and a lower new business strain were offset by an adverse currency impact.

The OCG of Banking increased to EUR 79 million from EUR 70 million in the first half of 2023, mainly driven by a lower capital consumption which was mainly due to a lower portfolio growth and increasing housing prices. This was partly offset by a lower interest margin, which remained at an elevated level.

The OCG of segment Other was EUR -103 million compared with EUR -91 million in the first half of 2023. The performance of the reinsurance business was supported by a favourable claims experience, although not as high as in the first half of 2023.

Operating result

The operating result of NN Group decreased to EUR 1,329 million from EUR 1,400 million in the first half of 2023. Strong business performance of Insurance Europe was more than offset by a lower investment result at Netherlands Life, a less favourable claims experience of Netherlands Non-life and a lower interest result at Banking.

The operating result of Netherlands Life decreased to EUR 671 million from EUR 810 million in the first half of 2023, mainly due to refinements of the operating investment result, the adverse impact from interest rate movements on the investment result and lower technical results.

Netherlands Non-life's operating result decreased to EUR 205 million from EUR 226 million in the first half of 2023, which benefitted from positive experience such as benign weather and a favourable claims experience in Disability. The combined ratio for the first half of 2024 was 92.2%, which is close to the middle of the 91-93% guidance range, compared with 90.1% in the same period of last year. The combined ratio of P&C increased to 91.7% from 89.8% in the first half of 2023, reflecting higher claims partly due to large fire claims in the first quarter. The combined ratio of Disability increased to 93.4% from 90.8% in the first half of 2023, which benefitted from favourable claims experience.

For Insurance Europe, the operating result increased to EUR 299 million from EUR 219 million in the first half of 2023. This was mainly driven by business growth, strong pensions performance and higher technical results.

Japan's operating result was broadly stable at EUR 104 million, driven by higher mortality and surrender results offsetting an adverse currency impact as well as a reduced profit margin due to lower new business following the business improvement order from the local regulator.

Operating result for Banking decreased to EUR 102 million from EUR 113 million in the first half of 2023. The interest result was lower than in the first half of 2023, although the net interest margin remained at an elevated level.

The operating result of the segment Other was EUR -53 million compared with EUR -71 million in the first half of 2023, which was negatively impacted by a non-recurring market related impact in the reinsurance business.

Result before tax

The result before tax increased to EUR 824 million from EUR 758 million in the first half of 2023, mainly due to reduced negative effects related to financial markets. Gains/losses and impairments were EUR -66 million

compared with EUR -171 million in the same period in 2023. The current half‐year primarily shows losses on the sale of debt securities at Netherlands Life.

Revaluations amounted to EUR -367 million versus EUR -330 million in the first half of 2023. The current half-year mainly shows revaluations of derivatives used for hedging purposes, largely related to accounting asymmetries.

Market and other impacts amounted to EUR -30 million compared with EUR -101 million in the first half of 2023. This was mainly due to non-operating losses on onerous contracts including assumption changes.

Special items amounted to EUR -28 million compared with EUR -44 million in the first half of 2023, mainly due to lower project expenses.

The result on divestments was nil compared with EUR 19 million in the first half of 2023, which reflects the sale of the former MetLife pension business in Poland.

Net result

The net result increased to EUR 648 million from EUR 586 million in the first half of 2023.

The effective tax rate (ETR) was 20.1%, mainly reflecting taxexempt investment results.

Total assets of NN Group decreased by EUR 3.7 billion in the first half of 2024 to EUR 205.2 billion.

Shareholders' equity was broadly stable at EUR 19.4 billion, reflecting the positive net result offset by dividend payment and share buyback.

Total liabilities 183,990 187,822

The CSM (net of reinsurance) was broadly stable at EUR 6.4 billion. Organic growth was EUR 0.1 billion, reflecting business growth in Insurance Europe and Netherlands Non-life, offsetting the net release of CSM of Netherlands Life and Japan Life.

Sales and value of new business

Gross premiums written 7,937 7,244 9.6%
New sales life insurance (APE) 801 743 7.9%
Value of new business 241 195 23.2%

Gross premiums written increased 10% to EUR 7,937 million from EUR 7,244 million in the first half-year of 2023. The growth was mainly driven by a pension buyout transaction in the Netherlands and higher sales in Europe.

Total new sales (APE) increased 8% to EUR 801 million from EUR 743 million in the first half-year of 2023. Strong performance from Insurance Europe and Netherlands Life more than offset lower sales in Japan Life.

Value of new business (VNB) increased by 23% to EUR 241 million from EUR 195 million in the first half-year of 2023, reflecting a higher volume of group pension contracts in Netherlands Life and strong sales performance in Insurance Europe.

VNB of Netherlands Life increased to EUR 76 million from EUR 40 million in the first half of 2023, due to a higher

volume of group DB pension contracts partly driven by improved retention of short-term contracts.

VNB of Insurance Europe increased to EUR 137 million from EUR 114 million. This reflects strong sales performances across most business units as well as a favourable business mix.

VNB of Japan decreased to EUR 27 million from EUR 41 million, mainly due to lower sales of cash value insurance products due to the business improvement order as well as negative currency impacts.

Assets under management DC increased to EUR 35.9 billion from EUR 32.7 billion on 31 December 2023, driven by net inflows of EUR 1.2 billion and positive market movements.

Capital Management

  • Solvency II ratio of NN Group decreased to 192% in the first half of 2024 from 197% at the end of 2023, mainly due to capital flows and regulatory changes more than offsetting operating capital generation
  • Cash capital position increased to EUR 1,359 million mainly reflecting remittances from subsidiaries
  • 2024 interim dividend of EUR 1.28 per ordinary share or approximately EUR 347 million

The NN Group Solvency II ratio decreased to 192% from 197% at the end of 2023, mainly due to the deduction of the 2024 interim dividend and the EUR 300 million share buyback programme, as well as regulatory changes including the impact of the Ultimate Forward Rate (UFR) reduction from 3.45% to 3.30% and an update of the Volatility Adjustment (VA) representative portfolio by EIOPA. This was partly offset by operating capital generation and positive market impacts. Market impacts mainly reflect changes in interest rates, partly offset by adverse movements in credit spreads and negative equity variance.

The NN Life Solvency II ratio decreased to 190% from 196% at the end of 2023, due to the regular dividend payments to the holding company, as well as the

aforementioned regulatory changes, partly offset by operating capital generation and positive market impacts.

NN Group issued EUR 750 million of undated restricted Tier 1 subordinated notes with a fixed coupon at 6.375% per annum until 2031 on 12 March 2024. EUR 335 million of dated Tier 2 subordinated notes were redeemed at their first call date on 8 April 2024. Restricted Tier 1 subordinated notes were repurchased for an amount of EUR 287 million in March 2024 and the remaining EUR 128 million of these notes were redeemed at their first call date on 13 June 2024. The transactions had no material impact on the total tiering capacity.

NN Group has financial flexibility given its remaining tiering capacity of EUR 0.8 billion in Restricted Tier 1 and EUR 0.5 billion in Tier 2 capital.

The cash capital position at the holding company increased to EUR 1,359 million from EUR 971 million at the end of 2023. This reflects remittances from subsidiaries, partly offset by capital flows to shareholders as well as

other movements including holding company expenses, interest on loans and debt and other holding company cash flows. Capital flows to shareholders comprise the 2023 final cash dividend of EUR 334 million and the repurchase of EUR 170 million of own shares.

The financial leverage ratio of NN Group was broadly stable at 17.8% from 17.7% at the end of 2023. The aforementioned debt transactions in the first half of 2024 had no material impact on the financial leverage position.

The fixed-cost coverage ratio (on the basis of the last 12 months) increased to 11.5x from 8.7x at the end of 2023. This mainly reflects higher revaluations on real estate and debt securities.

Dividend and share buyback

Dividend

NN Group announced today that it will pay an interim dividend of EUR 1.28 per ordinary share, or approximately EUR 347 million in total based on the current number of outstanding shares (net of treasury shares), calculated as 40% of the 2023 full-year dividend per ordinary share in accordance with the NN Group dividend policy.

The interim dividend will be paid fully in cash, after deduction of withholding tax if applicable. NN Group ordinary shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 19 August 2024. The record date for the dividend will be 20 August 2024. The dividend will be payable on 27 August 2024. More information is available at www.nn-group.com.

Share buyback

On 29 February 2024, NN Group announced that it will execute an open market share buyback programme for an amount of EUR 300 million within nine months, commencing on 2 April 2024. Up to Friday 9 August 2024, shares for a total amount of EUR 160 million were repurchased under this programme, representing 53% of the total share buyback amount.

Following the payment of the 2023 final dividend, NN Group announced that it would repurchase ordinary shares for a total amount of EUR 232 million, equivalent to the value of the stock dividend, to neutralise the dilutive effect. This share buyback programme commenced on 17 June 2024 and is expected to end no later than 30 August 2024.

The share buyback programmes are executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the General Meeting on 24 May 2024. The shares are repurchased at a price that does not exceed the last independent trade or the highest current independent bid on the relevant trading platform. The programmes are executed by financial intermediaries and are performed in compliance with the safe harbour provisions for share buybacks.

NN Group reports on the progress of the share buyback programmes on www.nn-group.com on a weekly basis.

Footnote references

    1. Operating capital generation is an Alternative Performance Measure, which is not derived from IFRS-EU. NN Group analyses the change in the excess of Solvency II Own Funds over the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) in the following components: Operating Capital Generation, Market variance, Capital flows and Other. Operating capital generation is the movement in the solvency surplus (Own Funds before eligibility constraints over SCR at 100%) in the period due to operating items, including the impact of new business, expected investment returns in excess of the unwind of liabilities, release of the risk margin, operating variances, non-life underwriting result, contribution of non-Solvency II entities and holding expenses and debt costs and the change in the SCR. It excludes economic variances, economic assumption changes and non-operating expenses.
    1. Operating result is an Alternative Performance Measure. This measure is derived from figures according to IFRS-EU. The operating result is derived by adjusting the reported result before tax to exclude the impact of result on divestments, amortisation of acquisition intangibles, discontinued operations and special items, changes to losses from onerous contracts due to assumption changes, gains/losses and impairments, revaluations and market and other impacts.
