Changes in IFRS from 2023 – How to read this report

From 2023, the Storebrand Group reports its official IFRS financial statements in accordance with IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, which replaced IFRS 4 and IAS 39 on 1 January 2023. A short comment on the financial performance under IFRS is given in the subsection below and detailed disclosure is available under the "Financial statements Storebrand Livsforsikring Group" section. For the remaining part of the report, Storebrand continues to report and comment on the alternative income statement in parallel with IFRS statements of financial position. The alternative income statement is based on the statutory accounts of all the main subsidiaries and is an approximation of the cash generated in the period, while the IFRS statement includes profit-and-loss effects of updated estimates and assumptions about the timing of future cash flows and insurance services provided1.

Financial performance (IFRS)

Storebrand Livsforsikring Group's profit after tax expenses was NOK 967m (NOK 778) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1 805m (NOK 1 767m) year to date. Stronger results in unit linked business contributed positively. Storebrand Livsforsikring Group's net insurance service result was NOK 547m (NOK 494m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1 418m (NOK 1 114m) year to date. The increased insurance service result is mainly attributed to increased revenue for the insurance contracts measured according to PAA. On a general basis, higher volatility is expected under IFRS 17 due to the measurement models applied.

1 Due to the fundamental differences between IFRS 17 and the alternative income statement, it is not possible to reconcile the numbers. The figures in brackets are from the corresponding period previous year.

Storebrand Livsforsikring Group's cash equivalent earnings before amortisation were NOK 881m (NOK 640m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1,748m (NOK 1,268m) year to date. The improved result reflects continued underlying growth across the business and satisfactory cost development.

Total fee and administration income amounted to NOK 995m (NOK 926m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1,983m (NOK 1,863m) year to date, corresponding to an increase of 7% compared to the same quarter last year and an increase of 6% year to date. Income growth is driven by strong growth in Unit Linked Reserves.

The Insurance result amounted to NOK 303m (NOK 231m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 580m (NOK 425m) year to date. In Group life and Pension related disability insurance segments, repricing led to improved results. Disability continues to be at high levels and the development is closely monitored to assess the need for further pricing measures. The total combined ratio for the Insurance segment was 84% (90%) in the 2nd quarter and 83% (93%) year to date.

The Group's operational cost amounted to NOK - 705m (NOK -754m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1,414m (NOK 1,482m) year to date. The stable cost development is to a large extent explained by

efficiency measures and Danica integration cost in the comparable numbers. Storebrand continues to focus on strong cost discipline, as demonstrated over the past decade.

Overall, the cash equivalent earnings from operations amounted to NOK 593m (NOK 402m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1 148m (NOK 805m) year to date.

The 'financial items and risk result' amounted to NOK 287m (NOK 237m) in the 2nd quarter. Strong results for the company portfolios and improved profitsharing result also contributed positively. Net profit sharing amounted to NOK 119m (NOK 53m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 188m (NOK 72m) year to date. The risk result amounted to NOK 10m (NOK 69m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 54m (NOK 149m) year to date.

Amortisation of intangible assets from acquired business amounted to NOK -46m (NOK -44m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -92m (NOK -93m) year to date.

Tax expenses for the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group amounted to NOK -164m (NOK 275m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -294m (NOK 385m) year to date. The low effective tax rate in the quarter reflects a high contribution to the pre-tax result from the Swedish business. The estimated normal tax rate is 19-22%, depending on each legal entity's contribution to the Group result. Currency fluctuations and varying tax rates in different countries of operations impact the quarterly tax rate.

The Group reports its cash equivalent earnings by business segment. For a more detailed description, see the sections by segment in the report.

Capital situation

The solvency ratio for Storebrand Livsforsikring was 261% at the end of the 2nd quarter, an increase of 3 percentage points from the previous quarter and 11 percentage points year to date. A moderate increase in both interest rates and equity markets, alongside a reduced equity stress from the reduction in the Symmetrical Adjustment have a modest contribution on the solvency position. The Volatility Adjustment contributes negatively.

Savings

  • Cash equivalent earnings before amortisation up 62% compared to Q2 2023
  • 19% growth in Unit Linked Reserves from Q2 2023

The Savings segment reported cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 253m (NOK 156m) in the in the 2nd quarter and NOK 499m (NOK 357m) year to date, up by 40% year to date compared to the corresponding period last year. All business saw strong result developments.

The fee and administration income in the Savings segment amounted to NOK 606m (NOK 538m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1,204m (NOK 1,098m) year to date, corresponding to growth of 8% (adjusted for currency effect NOK vs SEK). In Unit Linked Norway, income grew by 15% compared to the same quarter last year. Structural growth in the underlying business and positive markets were supportive, while reduced fee margin had a negative effect. In Sweden, fee and administration income grew by 12% compared to the same quarter last year (in SEK).

Operational cost amounted to NOK -354m (NOK -375m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -712m (NOK -731m) year to date. The stable cost development is largely explained by efficiency measures and additional cost related to Danica in the comparable numbers.

Balance sheet and market trends

In the Norwegian Unit Linked business, assets under management increased to NOK 232bn (NOK 196bn). The growth stems from high occupational pension premiums, new sales, asset return and limited pension payments due to the young nature of the product. Net inflow amounted to NOK 1.5bn (NOK -1.0bn).

In the Swedish Unit Linked business, assets under management increased during the quarter by SEK 9bn and amounted to SEK 193bn. Net inflow amounted to NOK 1.7bn (NOK 2.0bn) in the 2nd quarter.

Insurance premiums f.o.a. amounted to NOK 1,072m (NOK 995m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 2,129m (NOK 1,965m) year to date, corresponding to an increase of 8% compared to the same quarter last year and an increase of 12% year to date. The cost ratio was 12% (14%), with cost amounting to NOK - 133m (NOK -136m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -261m (NOK -267m) year to date.

Cash equivalent earnings before amortisation amounted to NOK 190m (NOK 112m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 362m (NOK 160m) year to date. The total combined ratio was 84% (90%) in the 2nd quarter and 83% (93%) year to date. The combined ratio development was strong in Pension related disability. Several measures, including repricing, have been implemented to improve the profitability in the insurance business.

Within 'Individual life' the cash equivalent earnings before amortisation were NOK 62m (NOK 79m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 149m (NOK 123m) year to date. The claims ratio was 55% (53%) in the 2nd quarter and 54% (56%) year to date. Operational cost was NOK -53m (NOK -61m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -97m (NOK -130m) year to date. Altogether, the product segment delivered a combined ratio of 72% (74%) in the 2nd quarter and 71% (79%) year to date.

'Group life' reported cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 28m (NOK -81m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 38m (NOK -105m) year to date. Last year's result included a weak result of NOK -52m in the quarter and NOK - 71m year to date. Adjusted for this the quarterly result reflects additional progress following a difficult period last year. The improvement follows from strong repricing measures. In sum,

'Group life' reported a combined ratio of 97% (114%) in the 2nd quarter and 99% (108%) year to date.

The cash equivalent earnings before amortisation for 'Pension related disability insurance Nordic' were NOK 81m (NOK 62m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 137m (NOK 70m) year to date. The result in the Norwegian business showed a positive development after weak results last year, mainly driven by price increases implemented. The Swedish business delivered a very strong result in the quarter, driven by low claims and run-off gains. Altogether the combined ratio was 83% (86%) in the 2nd quarter and 85% (93%) year to date.

There is still a high level of uncertainty linked to the disability development in the Norwegian society and Storebrand follows this closely.

The Insurance investment portfolio is primarily invested in fixed income securities with short to medium duration and achieved a financial return of 1.1% in the 2nd quarter.

Balance sheet and market trends

The Insurance segment offers a broad range of products to the retail market in Norway, as well as to the corporate market in both Norway and Sweden. Storebrand has an ambition to grow the insurance business.

Overall growth in annual portfolio premiums amounted to 11% compared to the same quarter last year. Growth in 'Individual life' amounted to 5%. 'Group life' grew by 17%, driven by price adjustments and salary increases, and 'Pension related disability insurance' grew by 12%, driven by price adjustments and salary increases.

Financial performance

Guaranteed pension achieved cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 306m (NOK 293m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 595m (NOK 578m) year to date.

Fee and administration income amounted to NOK 388m (NOK 387m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 779m (NOK 765m) year to date. Behind the flat income development is a positive growth contribution from public sector pensions and paid-up policies, and a negative contribution from other segments.

Operational cost amounted to NOK -211m (NOK -216m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -426m (NOK -408m) year to date.

The cash equivalent earnings from operations had a stable development and amounted to NOK 177m (NOK 171m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 352m (NOK 357m) year to date.

The risk result was NOK 10m (NOK 69m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 54m (NOK 149m) year to date. The risk result was satisfactory in the Norwegian business and weak in the Swedish business. Net profit sharing amounted to NOK 119m (NOK 53m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 188m (NOK 72m) year to date. Profit sharing was mainly generated by the Swedish business with a result of NOK 85m (NOK 51m) in the quarter which is satisfactory. In the Norwegian business profit sharing increased in the quarter due to positive markets as well as implementation of new asset liability management measures based on new and more flexible Buffer fund regulations.

Balance sheet and market trends

The majority of the guaranteed products are in long term runoff. As of the 2nd quarter, customer reserves of guaranteed pensions amounted to NOK 288bn. This is an increase of NOK 4bn year to date, primarily from the positive transfer of public sector pensions schemes. A growth area for Storebrand is public sector occupational pensions, where Storebrand won its first mandates in 2020. Several tender offers are active in 2024.

Net flow of guaranteed pensions amounted to NOK -2.8bn in 2nd quarter (NOK -2.5bn in Q2 2023).

Storebrand's strategy is to maintain solid buffer capital levels in order to secure customer returns and shield shareholder's equity during turbulent market conditions. At the start of 2024, changes to the Norwegian buffer capital regulations were implemented. Additional statutory reserves and market value adjustment reserves are now combined into the new Buffer fund. The new regulation is more flexible and hence positive for the company and customers, who will benefit from larger risk capacity. Buffer capital (excl. excess value of bonds at amortised cost) was 29.1bn as of the 2nd quarter. As a share of guaranteed reserves, buffer capital levels amounted to 6.8% (6.0%) in Norwegian products and 23.4% (21.1%) in Swedish products. This does not include off-balance sheet excess values of bonds at amortised cost, which at the end of the 2nd quarter amounted to a deficit of NOK -12.7bn (NOK -15.5bn).

The financial result for the Other segment amounted to NOK 138m (NOK 107m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 308m (NOK 229m) year to date. The improvement reflects strong returns from fixed income investments in company portfolios where tighter credit spreads were supportive. The investments in the company portfolios are primarily in interest-bearing securities in Norway and Sweden. The Norwegian company portfolio achieved a return of 1.2% in the 2nd quarter and 2.3% year to date, while the Swedish company portfolio reported a return of 1.4% in the 2nd quarter and 2.8% year to date. The company portfolios in the Norwegian and Swedish life insurance companies amounted to NOK 26.2bn at the end of the quarter.

The Storebrand Life Insurance Group is funded by a combination of equity and subordinated loans. Interest expenses in the quarter amounted to NOK -143m.

Balance sheet and capital situation

Continuous monitoring and active risk management is a core area of Storebrand's business. Risk and solidity are both followed up on at the Group level and in the legal entities. Regulatory requirements for financial strength and risk management follow the legal entities to a large extent. The section is thus divided up by legal entities.

Storebrand Livsforsikring AS Customer buffers (NOR)

New regulatory rules on a pooled and customer-distributed buffer fund were introduced for municipal pension schemes with effect from 1 January 2022. Correspondingly, a buffer fund is introduced for private pension schemes from 1 January 2024. The buffer fund replaces previous statutory reserves and market value adjustment reserve for private pension schemes. The buffer fund is distributed among the contracts and can cover negative returns and lack of returns until the contract's annual interest guarantee. Storebrand can set aside all or part of a surplus on the return result to a buffer fund. Furthermore, funds in the buffer fund can be assigned to the customer as surplus.

The buffer fund amounted to NOK 12.9bn at the end of 2nd quarter, with minimal changes in the 2nd quarter, corresponding to 6.8% customer funds with a guarantee. This is an increase NOK 1.5bn year to date. The excess value of bonds and loans valued at amortised cost decreased by NOK 0.2bn in the 2nd quarter and NOK 2.1bn year to date due to increased interest rates and amounted to NOK -12.7bn at the end of 2nd quarter. The excess value of bonds and loans at amortised cost is not included in the financial statements of Storebrand Livsforsikring AS.

Storebrand's strategy gives a compelling combination of capital-light growth in the front book, i.e. the growth areas of the "future Storebrand", and capital return from a maturing back book of guaranteed pensions.

Storebrand Group aims to (a) be the leading provider of Occupational Pensions in both Norway and Sweden, (b) continue a strategy to build a Nordic Powerhouse in Asset Management and (c) ensure fast growth as a challenger in the Norwegian retail market for financial services. The combined capital, cost and revenue synergies across the Group provide a solid platform for profitable growth and value creation.

In Norway, the market for Defined Contribution pensions is growing structurally due to the young nature of the product. High single-digit growth in Defined Contribution premiums and double-digit growth in assets under management are expected during the next years. Storebrand aims to defend its strong position in the market, while also focusing on cost leadership and improved customer experience through end-to-end digitalisation. As a leading occupational pension provider in the private sector, Storebrand also has a competitive pension offering to the Norwegian public sector, a large and fast-growing market. It is currently dominated by one player and represents a potential additional source of revenue for Storebrand.

In Sweden, SPP is a market challenger within the segment for non-unionised pensions, with an edge in digital and ESG-enhanced solutions. SPP is a significant profit contributor to the Storebrand Group, supported by an ongoing capital release from its guaranteed products in runoff. SPP's ambition is to achieve double digit annual growth, driven by a strong value proposition, growth in capital light guaranteed savings and selected portfolio transfers.

Overall reserves of guaranteed pensions are expected to decrease in the coming years. Guaranteed reserves represent a declining share of the Group's total pension reserves and amounted to 40% of the pension reserves at the end of the quarter, 4 percentage points lower than a year ago. With interest rates having risen to significantly higher levels than the average level of interest rate guarantees, the prospects for future profit sharing with customers have increased.

The brand name 'Storebrand' is well recognised in Norway. Together with capital, customer and operational synergies in the business, it supports rapid growth in the Norwegian retail market.

Financial performance

Storebrand expects top line growth in both fee-based income and insurance. In 2023, the insurance results were severely affected by persistent high levels of disability. The board expects the insurance results to gradually improve from last year level.

Storebrand maintains a disciplined cost culture. Strong cost discipline will be a critical success factor to deliver on the earnings ambition. Storebrand will continue to reduce underlying costs, but it will also be necessary to make selective investments to facilitate profitable growth.

To accelerate growth and profit ambitions, investments in profitable growth have gradually increased costs. This includes growth in digital solutions and public occupational pensions, in addition to acquired business. Should the growth not materialize plans will be implemented to reduce costs.

Risk

Storebrand is exposed to several risk factors that have previously been elaborated on in the 'Outlook' section. These elements are covered by the notes and in the annual report.

Regulatory changes

Paid-up policies

A new legislation on flexible buffer fund for private sector guaranteed pension products such as paid-up policies and defined benefit contracts entered into force 1 January 2024.

The Parliament has asked the Government to consider further changes in the regulation of paid-up polices that could benefit policy holders, in a process involving the different stakeholders. A working group assigned by the Ministry of Finance is expected to deliver a report with proposals in the third quarter 2024.

The market for municipal occupational pensions Storebrand has filed two complaints to the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA). Storebrand has claimed that municipalities, regional health authorities (RHAs) and hospitals have entered contracts on occupational pension with KLP, in breach of the rules on public procurement. Storebrand has also claimed that municipalities, RHAs and hospitals have granted KLP state aid in violation of European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement. According to Storebrand, KLP, by withholding retained earnings when customers move to other providers, is given access to capital from municipalities and hospitals on more favourable terms than other market participants would receive.

ESA gave preliminary views on the issues raised in the public procurement case, in a letter to Norwegian authorities dated 29 February 2024. ESA's preliminary view is that public sector occupational pension contracts fall within the scope of public procurement law, and that the

lack of tender processes in this market constitutes a consistent and general practice in failure to observe EEA public procurement law with regard to the award and/or modification of contracts concerning insured public sector occupational pension contracts.

The Norwegian government responded to ESAs preliminary view on 14 June 2024. The governments letter to ESA did not present new arguments or views compared to submissions made before ESA's prelimary view. Storebrand therefore expects ESA to initiate infringement proceedings in the public procurement case.

ESA is still considering the state aid case.

Changes in IFRS

A new accounting standard for presentation and disclosures in financial statements, IFRS 18, has been published by the IASB in April 2024 and replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. If endorsed by the EU, the standard will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. The management's preliminary

Lysaker, 11 July 2024

Board of Directors Storebrand Livsforsikring AS

assessment is that the implementation of IFRS 18 will not significantly affect the financial reporting for the Group.

Storebrand Livsforsikring AS

Profit before tax was NOK 511 million in the 2nd quarter, and NOK 2,036 million year to date (NOK 34 million and NOK 519 million). Premium incomes amounted to NOK 8,151 million in the 2nd quarter and NOK 21,538 million year to date (NOK 8,344 million and NOK 19,682 million), and solid growth in group pension, public business and defined contribution pensions contributed to the increase. There have been good returns in both the company and customer portfolios in 2024. Claims amounted to NOK 7,590 million in the second quarter, and NOK 15,163 year to date (NOK 9,895 million and 17,129), partly as a result of increased disability cases and transfer of own pension accounts. Operating costs remain relatively stable compared to last year. Strong growth and digital investments are offset by reduced integration costs and strong cost discipline. Dividends and group contributions from subsidiaries amounting to NOK 1,020 million (NOK 878 million) have been received in the first quarter.

Note 6

Tax

A description of the accounting principles for tax, and the most significant impact on the effective tax rate is described in Storebrand Livsforsikring's annual report note 1 and note 21.

Uncertain tax positions

The tax rules for the insurance industry have undergone changes in recent years. In some cases, Storebrand and the Norwegian Tax Administration have had different interpretations of the tax rules and associated transitional rules. As a result of this, uncertain tax positions arise in connection with the recognised tax expenses. Whether or not the uncertain tax positions have to be recognised in the financial statements is assessed in accordance with IAS 12 and IFRIC 23. Uncertain tax positions will only be recognised in the financial statements if the company considers it to be preponderance that the Norwegian Tax Administration's interpretation will be accepted in a court of law. For further description of uncertain tax positions, see note 21 (Group) and note 26 (Company) in the Annual Report. The

statement below relates to developments in the case regarding group contributions in the first half year of 2024.

As previously stated in the annual report, Storebrand received full approval from the Tax Appeals Commitee regarding group contributions in June 2023. In December 2023, the Ministry of Finance took legal action against the decision. In a petition dated 15 March 2024, the Ministry of Finance states that the remaining issue is regarding the direct group contributions, and Storebrand sees that a substantial part of the uncertain tax position is therefore considered finally settled. In a petition dated 21 June 2024, the Ministry of Finance accepts that NOK 1.5 billion of the direct group contributions of NOK 2.9 billion are not a repayment of contributed capital. The remaining NOK 1.4 billion will be distributed among the company's 2,300 shares and treated according to the share-by-share principle.

With regard to the direct group contribution from Storebrand Eiendom Holding AS to Storebrand Livsforsikring AS, the assessment is that there is a preponderance of probability that the Company's view will prevail in a legal process, and an uncertain tax position has therefore not been recognised in the financial statements based on the subpoena. If the Ministry of Finance were to prevail with its view on the direct group contribution, the estimated tax cost would be between NOK 100 million and NOK 150 million.

Storebrand has reviewed the uncertain tax positions as part of the reporting process. The review has not reduced the Company's assessment of the probability that Storebrand's interpretation will be accepted in a court of law. The timeline for the continued process is unclear, but if necessary, Storebrand will seek clarification from the court of law for the aforementioned uncertain tax positions.
