Changes in IFRS – How to read this report

From the 1st quarter 2023, Storebrand Livsforsikring Group reports its official IFRS financial statements in accordance with IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, which replaces IFRS 4 and IAS 39 from 1 January 2023. The purpose of the new standard is to establish uniform practices for the accounting treatment of insurance contracts and greater transparency, both between insurance companies and sectors. The implementation of IFRS 17 has a significant impact on the accounting for insurance contracts in the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group, including the timing of recognition and presentation in the financial statements.

A comment on the financial performance under IFRS is given in the subsection below. For the remainder of the report, Storebrand will continue to report and comment on the alternative income statement in parallel with IFRS statements of financial position. The alternative income statement may differ significantly from the IFRS financial statements, especially for the insurance part of the business reporting in accordance with IFRS 17. While the alternative income statement is an approximation of the cash generated in the period, the IFRS statement includes profit-and-loss effects of updated estimates and assumptions about the timing of future cash flows and insurance services provided. Detailed disclosure of Storebrand Group's IFRS statements and notes are available under the "Financial statements Storebrand Livsforsikring Group" section in this report.

The alternative income statement is based on statutory accounts issued in accordance with Norwegian GAAP (NGAAP) for the Norwegian entities and Swedish GAAP (SGAAP) for the Swedish entities. The reporting frameworks are similar to the previous reporting under IFRS 4. The alternative income statement is adjusted for intercompany transactions and result items related to customers' funds. The introduction of IFRS 17 will not have any material impact on neither the statutory accounts nor the alternative income statement, and the result is still a good approximation of free cash flow generated by the business units.

Financial performance (IFRS)

Storebrand Livsforsikring Group's profit after tax expenses was NOK 778m (NOK 268) in the 2nd quarter and year to date NOK 1 767m (NOK 1 232m) under IFRS. Higher volatility is expected on general basis under IFRS 17 due to measurement models applied. For more information about implementation effects of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, please see note 1, 2 and 8.

The underlying growth continues to be strong across the business. Rising global equity markets, positive net flow and favourable currency effects year to date drive assets under management. ing global equity markets, positive net flow and favourable currency effects year to date drive record high assets under management. External factors such as persistent high inflation and increased claims across some insurance segments represent increased uncertainty.

Total fee and administration income amounted to NOK 926m (NOK 856m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1,863m (NOK 1,753m) year to date, corresponding to an increase of 8% compared to the same quarter last year and an increase of 6% year to date (5% 2nd quarter and 4% year to date adjusted for currency). Income growth is driven by strong premium growth in Unit Linked Norway, supported by the Danica acquisition.

The Insurance result was NOK 231m (NOK 208m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 425m (NOK 392m) year to date with high claims Group business lines. Compared to the corresponding period last year growth remains strong for all segments, driven by a combination of organic growth and the Danica acquisition. 'Group life' has a high claims ratio driven by increased claims frequency and high disability respectively. Measures, including further repricing with full effect from 2024, have been taken to improve the robustness and profitability in the affected segments. The total combined ratio for the Insurance segment was 90% (88%) in the 2nd quarter and 93% (89%) year to date.

The Group's operational cost amounted to NOK -754m (NOK - 625m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -1,482m (NOK -1,243m) year to date. The increase is attributed to inflation, currency, acquired business, growth initiatives and digital investments.

Net profit sharing amounted to NOK 53m (NOK 11m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 72m (NOK -28m) year to date. In the Norwegian portfolio focus is on rebuilding buffer capital after last year's reduction, and profit sharing is close to zero in the quarter and year to date. In the Swedish business profit sharing is positive but moderate in the quarter and year to date driven by development in market returns as well as the high Swedish inflation. The risk result amounted to NOK 69m (NOK 54m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 149m (NOK 135m) year to date. A strong longevity risk result as well as a positive reserve adjustment in Norwegian Paid-up policies are the main contributing factors.

Amortisation of intangible assets from acquired business amounted to NOK -44m (NOK -27m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -93m (NOK -53m) year to date. The increase compared to the restated figures for 2022 is attributed to the Danica acquisition.

Storebrand Livsforsikring Group booked a tax income of NOK 336m (NOK 34m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 355m (NOK 476m) year to date. As previously announced, Storebrand Livsforsikring AS appealed to the Tax Appeals Committee (Skatteklagenemda) a decision made by The Norwegian Tax Administration (TNTA) regarding the uncertain tax position for the income year 2015 claiming changes should be made in the tax returns for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS. During the quarter, Storebrand received a ruling from the Tax Appeals Committee, which gives Storebrand full consent. Based on the decision from the Tax Appeals Committee, Storebrand has recognized a tax gain of approx. NOK 440m in the quarter. The tax case in question is described in more detail in note 28 in the annual accounts for 2022 as "case A" and "case C". The estimated normal tax rate is 19-22%, depending on each legal entity's contribution to the Group result. Different tax rates in different countries of operations as well as currency fluctuations impact the quarterly tax rate.

Capital situation

The solvency ratio was 196% at the end of the 2nd quarter, an increase of 17 percentage points from the previous quarter.

Balance sheet and market trends

Savings - Key figures

Total assets under management in Unit Linked increased to NOK 357bn (NOK 276bn) from NOK 343bn last quarter. Unit Linked premiums increased to NOK 7.0bn (NOK 5.3bn) in the 2nd quarter. Net inflow (from premiums, claims and withdrawals, and transfers) amounted to NOK 1.0bn (NOK 1.6bn).

In the Norwegian Unit Linked business, assets under management increased to NOK 196bn (NOK 146bn). The growth stems from high in occupational pension premiums, new sales, asset return and limited pension payments due to the young nature of the product.

In the Swedish market, SPP is the second largest provider of nonunionised occupational pensions with a market share of 16% measured by gross premiums written including transfers (at the end of the 1st quarter 2023). In local currency, Unit Linked assets under management increased during the quarter by SEK 11.0bn and amounted to SEK 162bn. The underlying growth is driven by strong growth in sales (APE), amounting to NOK 841m (NOK 676m) in the quarter. The transfer balance has shown a positive development and net inflow amounted to NOK 2.0bn (NOK - 0.1bn) in the 2nd quarter.

Insurance premiums f.o.a. amounted to NOK 995 m (NOK 803m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 1,965m (NOK 1,573m) year to date, corresponding to an increase of 24% compared to the same quarter last year and an increase of 25% year to date. Adjusted for Danica, insurance premiums f.o.a. increased by 10% compared to the same quarter last year.

Cash equivalent earnings before amortisation amounted to NOK 112m (NOK 97m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 160m (NOK 178m) year to date. The total combined ratio was 90% (88%) in the 2nd quarter and 93% (89%) year to date. High disability claims are negative contributor.

Within 'Individual life', strong growth continued with premiums f.o.a. growing 38% in the 2nd quarter compared to last year. The cash equivalent earnings before amortisation was NOK 80m (NOK 50m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 125m (NOK 85m) year to date. The claims ratio was 76% (78%) in the 2nd quarter and 80% (66%) year to date.

'Group life' reported a cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK -29m (NOK 14m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -33m (NOK 15m) year to date. The disability development in the associations segment of the Group life business has been challenging and measures including repricing is taken to improve the profitability. The corporates segment of the business had a positive development in the 2nd quarter. In Group life reserves have been strengthened in the quarter due to inflation adjustment of the national base amount, which defines compensation levels in the products. In sum, 'Group life' reported a combined ratio of 114% (97%) in the 2nd quarter and 108% (99%) year to date.

The cash equivalent earnings before amortisation for 'Pension

related disability insurance Nordic' was NOK 62m (NOK 34m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 70m (NOK 78m) year to date. Disability levels improved in the Norwegian business in the 2nd quarter, but the development is being monitored closely as we generally see disturbing trends in work absence due to sickness and disability statistics. Price increases will be implemented with full effect from 2024. In the Swedish business development is stable with satisfactory claims levels. Altogether the combined ratio was 86% (91%) in the 2nd quarter and 93% (89%) year to date.

The cost ratio was 14% (15%), with cost amounting to NOK - 136m (NOK -114m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -287m (NOK - 222m) year to date. The higher cost level is driven by growth in the business and the take-over of the Danica Business.

The Insurance investment portfolio is primarily invested in fixed income securities with short to medium duration and achieved a financial return of 0.7% in the 2nd quarter and 1.7% year to date. With higher rates, the return on the insurance investment portfolio is expected to increase in the coming quarters.

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 26% compared to the same quarter last year. Growth in 'Individual life' amounted to 45% and is driven by strong contribution from sales agents, distribution, partnerships and the Danica acquisition. Group life grew by 12%, while 'Pension related disability insurance' grew by 26%, driven by price adjustments and salary increases, and the acquisition of Danica.

Financial performance

Guaranteed pension achieved cash equivalent earnings before amortisation of NOK 293m (NOK 254m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 578m (NOK 485m) year to date.

Fee and administration income was reduced to NOK 387m (NOK 395m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 765m (NOK 786m) year to date. The reduction mainly stems from the paid-up policies where some adjustments in the fee structure and income accruals were made. The majority of the guaranteed products are closed for new business and are in long term run-off, which should gradually reduce the fee income. However, Public Occupational Pensions (reported under Defined Benefit Norway) is a growth area.

Operational cost amounted to NOK -216m (NOK -206m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK -408m (NOK -409m) year to date.

The cash equivalent earnings from operations was stable and amounted to NOK 171m (NOK 189m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 357m (NOK 377m) year to date.

The risk result was NOK 69m (NOK 54m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 149m (NOK 135m) year to date. A strong longevity and disability risk, result as well as a positive reserve adjustment in Norwegian Paid-up policies are the main contributing factors to the result, which altogether amounted to NOK 59m (NOK 24m) in the quarter.

Net profit sharing amounted to NOK 53m (NOK 11m) in the 2nd quarter and NOK 72m (NOK -28m) year to date, generated in the Swedish business. In the Norwegian portfolio focus is on rebuilding buffer capital after last year's reduction, and profit sharing is close to zero in the quarter and year to date. In the Swedish business profit sharing is positive but moderate in the quarter and year to date driven by development in market returns as well as the high Swedish inflation. The deferred capital contributions (DCC) was reduced in the quarter.

Balance sheet and market trends

The majority of the guaranteed products are in long term run-off as pension payments are paid out to policyholders. Most customers have switched from guaranteed to non-guaranteed products.

As of the 2nd quarter, customer reserves of guaranteed pensions amounted to NOK 279bn. This is an increase of NOK 6bn in the year to date, primarily from growth in public sector pensions as well as currency effects from the Swedish business. Net flow of guaranteed pensions amounted to NOK -2.5bn in 2nd quarter (NOK -2.5bn in 2022). As a share of the total balance sheet, guaranteed reserves amounted to 43.9% (49.9%) at the end of the 2nd quarter.

A growth area for Storebrand is public sector occupational pensions, where Storebrand won its first mandates in 2020. The public sector effort has been the driver for a net increase in Defined Benefit reserves in the Norwegian business over the last years. Reserves for public sector mandates were NOK 18bn as of the 2nd quarter reflecting an increase of 2bn year to date due to tender offers won in late 2022. A new municipality representing 0.5bn was won in the 2nd quarter and will be transferred in 2024.

Paid-up policies are experiencing some growth over time as active Defined Benefit contracts eventually become Paid-up policies. Reserves amounted to NOK 143bn as of the 2nd quarter, the same level as the start of the year.

Guaranteed portfolios in the Swedish business totalled NOK 83bn as of the 2nd quarter, an increase of NOK 3bn year to date, driven by strengthening of the currency (SEK).

Storebrand's strategy is to have solid buffer capital levels in order to secure customer returns and shield shareholder's equity under turbulent market conditions. Buffer capital (excluding excess value of bonds at amortised cost) was 25.4bn as of the 2nd quarter, in line with the 1st quarter and an increase of NOK 2.0bn year to date. As a share of guaranteed reserves, buffer capital levels in Norwegian products amount to 6.0% (6.9%) and 21.1% (17.5%) 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 -15.5bn (NOK - 9.6bn). The deficit indicates that the reinvestment yield in the market currently is higher than the average yield in the portfolio. As bonds at amortised cost mature, their excess values will trend

to zero.

The positive result this year stems primarily from positive returns on investments in company portfolios due to higher interest rates and hence higher running yield in the bond portfolios.

The operational cost amounted to NOK -28m (NOK -14m) in the 2nd quarter and -56m (NOK -26m) year to date, but includes integration costs related to acquired business of NOK 30m in the quarter.

The financial result for the Other segment amounted to NOK 107m in the 2nd quarter and 229m year to date, reflecting higher yields on fixed income investments at higher interest rates. The result mainly stems from returns in the company portfolios of SPP and Storebrand Life Insurance. The investments in the company portfolios are primarily in interestbearing securities in Norway and Sweden. The Norwegian company portfolio achieved a return of 0.8% in the 2nd quarter and 2.5% year to date, while the Swedish company portfolio reported a return of 0.8% in the 2nd quarter and 1.8% year to date. The company portfolios in the Norwegian and Swedish life insurance companies and the holding company amounted to NOK 26.0bn 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 -139m. Given the interest rate level at the end of the 2nd quarter, interest expenses of approximately NOK -190m per quarter are expected going forward.

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

The market value adjustment reserve and bufferfund decreased during the 2nd quarter by NOK 0.6bn and increased by NOK 0.9bn year to date. At the end of 2nd quarter 2023 the market value adjustment reserve and bufferfund amounted to NOK 2.7bn, corresponding to 1.6% (2.0% at the end of 1st quarter 2023) of customer funds with a guarantee. New business transferred in contributed positively with NOK 0.2bn in bufferfund for the 1st quarter 2023.

The additional statutory reserves amounted to NOK 8.3bn, corresponding to 5.0% (5.2% at the end of the 1st quarter 2023) of customer funds with guarantee at the end of the 2nd quarter 2023. Investment returns in customer portfolios lower than the guaranteed interest rate in the quarter decreased reserves by NOK 0.4bn in 2nd quarter and NOK 0.7bn year to date.

Together, the customer buffers amounted to 6.6% (7.2% at the end of the 1st quarter 2023) of customer funds with guarantee at the end of the 2nd quarter 2023.

The excess value of bonds and loans valued at amortised cost decreased by NOK 5.7bn in the 2nd quarter and NOK 5.3bn year to date due to increased interest rates and amounted to minus NOK 15.5bn at the end of the 2nd quarter 2023. The excess value of bonds and loans at amortised cost is not included in the financial statements of Storebrand Livsforsikring AS.

Outlook

Strategy

Storebrand Groups's (in which Storeband Life insurance is a significant part) strategy gives a compelling combination of self-funded 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, customer base, cost and data synergies across the Group provide a solid platform for profitable growth and value creation.

Storebrand Group continues to manage capital and a back book with guaranteed products for increased shareholder return. This includes both a dividend policy of growing ordinary dividends from earnings as well as managing the legacy products that carry interest guarantees in a capitalefficient manner. The ambition is to return NOK 10bn of excess capital by 2030, primarily in the form of share buybacks, while generating additional excess capital which may fund further growth or could be returned to shareholders.

Financial performance

External factors such as persistent high inflation and an increasing disability trend represent increased uncertainty for the financial result.

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 endto-end digitalisation. In July 2022, Storebrand acquired Danica in Norway, which will strengthen Storebrand's presence in the segment for small and medium sized businesses, and it will increase Storebrand's distribution capacity of both Defined Contribution pensions and personal risk products.

In Sweden, SPP is a leading market challenger within the segment for non-unionised pensions, with an edge in digital and ESG-enhanced solutions. SPP has become a significant profit contributor to the Storebrand Group, supported by an ongoing capital release from its guaranteed products in runoff. Growth is expected to continue, driven by new sales and transfers.

As a leading occupational pension provider in the private sector, Storebrand also has a competitive pension offering to the Norwegian public sector. It is a growing market which is larger than the private sector market. It is currently dominated by one monopolist. To succeed in the market, municipalities will need to tender their pension procurements to a larger extent than today.

This represents a potential additional source of revenue for Storebrand. The ambition is to gain 1% market share annually, or approximately NOK 5bn in annual net inflow.

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 43.9% of the pension reserves at the end of the quarter, 6 percentage points lower than a year ago. With interest rates having risen to approximately the average level of interest rate guarantees, the prospects for future profit sharing with customers has increased. Higher interest rates also allow Storebrand to build customer buffers at a faster pace, which strengthens the Group's solvency position.

The brand name 'Storebrand' is well recognised in Norway. It facilitates our rapid growth in the Norwegian retail market to leverage capital, customer, and operational synergies.

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. Should the growth not materialise, management has contingency plans in place to cut costs. High inflation rates, particularly wage inflation, is expected to increase the cost base and acquired business such as Danica will add to the total cost base.

Risk

Our dynamic risk management framework is designed to take appropriate risk in order to deliver returns to customers and shareholders. At the same time, the framework shall ensure that we shield our customers, shareholders, employees and other stakeholders from undesirable incidents and losses. The framework covers all risks that Storebrand may be exposed to. In 2022, the outbreak of war on the European continent has led to increased geopolitical and economic uncertainty, resulting in increased financial market volatility and increased risk monitoring in the Group.

Financial market risk is the Group's biggest risk, but main risks also include business risk, insurance risk, counterparty risk, operational risk, climate risk, currency risk, and liquidity risk. In the Board's self-assessment of risk and solvency (ORSA) process, developments in interest rates, credit spreads, and equity and property values are considered to be the biggest risks that influence the solvency of the Group. Should the economic situation worsen, and financial markets deteriorate, investment losses may occur from reduced valuations of such instruments. Storebrand has invested in a high quality real estate portfolio. However, under prevailing market conditions model-based valuations of financial instruments (Level 3), such as investment property, contain greater uncertainty than usual. Storebrand operates an active risk management strategy to optimise customer returns and shield shareholder's equity under turbulent market conditions through dynamic risk management, strong customer buffers, and by holding a significant amount of bonds at amortised cost.

Storebrand has prioritised building buffer capital from excess returns over many years. The customer buffers limit the financial risk to shareholders and policyholders in turbulent financial markets by absorbing investment losses. With 10% of customer buffers as a share of customer reserves, Storebrand effectively has NOK 27bn more in customer assets than guaranteed liabilities.

Inflation has risen in much of the world, including in Norway and Sweden. High and rapidly rising inflation rates may increase costs and insurance claims in Storebrand. However, pension liabilities (payments) are not inflation linked, limiting the impact of inflation on the Group's liabilities. Pension premiums and some insurance premiums are directly linked to wage inflation, which automatically results in premium growth. Other products, including Group Life insurance, are actively repriced to mitigate the negative effects of inflation.

A consequence of higher inflation may be rising interest rates, as seen in 2022. Higher interest rates strengthen Storebrand's balance sheet and improves our ability to fulfil guaranteed pension liabilities in the long run, which also strengthens the solvency ratio and reduces solvency risk. However, the immediate short-term impact of increasing rates lead to fair value losses on fixed income investments. To reduce the financial impact from rising interest rates, Storebrand holds shorter duration bonds at fair value, and has over time built a robust portfolio of long-duration bonds of high credit quality which are held at amortised cost. Changes in interest rates does not have an accounting effect on the latter.

In the long term, interest rates below the average guaranteed interest rate to customers could represent a financial risk. Over the last decade, during a period with record low interest rates, we have demonstrated Storebrand's ability to successfully adapt to the prevailing interest rate environment. The level of the average annual interest rate guarantee gradually declines as older policies with higher guarantees are phased out. To reduce the risk, Storebrand has over time reduced the asset-duration mismatch in the Norwegian portfolio and has an asset-duration matched portfolio in Sweden. Customer buffers also increase the expected booked returns in Norway and can compensate for a shortfall in returns in a low-rate environment, limiting the financial risk to shareholders and policyholders.

Storebrand is affected by currency movements between the Norwegian krone and foreign currency. The exchange rate between the Norwegian krone and the Swedish krona affects the reported balance sheet and results in the Swedish entities at a consolidated level, including the effective tax rate for the Group. Several reporting lines are exposed to foreign exchange risk as a result of investments in international securities, but also as a result of some international debt funding.

To limit currency risk, Storebrand uses hedging instruments. For company portfolios and guaranteed customer portfolios, most of the assets that are in currencies other than the domestic currency are hedged. Currency hedging is also performed for a significant part of Unit Linked related investments, and for borrowing in foreign currency.

Operational risk could also affect the Group adversely. As a consequence of increased geopolitical uncertainty in 2022, Storebrand has been on heightened alert with increased monitoring of suppliers and value chains, cyber risk, and antimoney laundering (AML). Several regulatory processes, both on the domestic and international level, with potential implications for capital, customer returns and commercial opportunities are also described below in a separate section.

Changes have been made to the Norwegian tax legislation for the insurance industry over many years. Storebrand and the Norwegian Tax Administration have interpreted some of the legislation changes and the associated transitional rules differently. Consequently, Storebrand has had three uncertain tax positions with regards to recognised tax expenses. These are described in more detail in in more detail in note 27 in the annual accounts for 2022, as "case A", "case B" and "Case C". During the quarter, Storebrand received a ruling from the Tax Appeals Committee (Skatteklagenemda), which gives Storebrand full consent regarding the uncertain tax position for the income year 2015 claiming changes should be made in the tax returns for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS. Based on the decision from the Tax Appeals Committee, Storebrand has recognized a tax gain of approx. NOK 440 million in the quarter. The tax case in question is described in more detail in note 27 in the annual accounts for 2022 as "case A" and "case C". The decision from the Tax Appeals Committee can be appealed to the court within 6 months. Should Storebrand's interpretation be accepted in "case B" an estimated positive tax result of up to NOK 1.6bn may be recognised. The timeline for settling the process with the Norwegian Tax Administration might take several years. If necessary, Storebrand will seek clarification from the court of law on the matter. The uncertain tax position is described in more detail in note 8.

Regulatory changes

Flexible buffer for guaranteed pension products from 1 January 2024

Parliament has passed new legislation on flexible buffer fund for private sector guaranteed pension products, such as defined benefit contracts and paid-up policies. The new regulation will take effect from 1 January 2024.

Market value adjustment reserves will merge with the additional statutory reserves into a more flexible customer buffer fund which can cover negative returns. There is no cap on the size of the new buffer fund. The buffer fund is allocated to contracts, and can be subject to profit sharing. Storebrand believe that the new flexible buffer fund will have a positive impact on the investment strategy for guaranteed pension products.

Changes in the National Insurance Pension Scheme A report proposing changes in the Norwegian National Insurance Pension Scheme was delivered to the Government in June 2022 and has been on public hearing. Among the proposals is automatic adjustment of retirement age for earliest possible withdrawal of pensions as longevity expectations increase. The report states that age limits in occupational and individual pension schemes should be

adjusted accordingly. The Government will present proposals to parliament this autumn.

The market for municipal occupational pensions Storebrand has filed two complaints to the EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA). Storebrand has claimed that municipalities, RHFs and hospitals have entered contracts on occupational pension with KLP, in breach of the rules on public procurement. Storebrand has also claimed that municipalities, RHFs and hospitals have granted KLP State aid in violation of Article 61 of the EEA Agreement. According to Storebrand, KLP, by withholding earned equity 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.

The Norwegian government has commented on the complaints, and argues that EEA-legislation does not apply, as KLP is not an economic actor and municipal occupational pension is social security. Storebrand argues that this is an insurance product delivered by life insurance companies in the marketplace. Facilitating competition has been a major goal for Norwegian insurance regulation, also for regulation particular to this product.

Storebrand expect ESA to decide on the complaints before the end of the year.

Storebrand Livsforsikring Group Notes to the financial statements

Note Accounting policies

The Group's interim financial statements include Storebrand Livsforsikring AS, subsidiaries, associated and joint-ventures companies. The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the "Regulation on the annual accounts etc. of life insurance companies" for the parent company and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim financial statements do not contain all the information that is required in full annual financial statements.

This is the first set of the group's interim financial statements in which IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments have been applied. The new changes to significant accounting policies are described below.

The remainder of the of the accounting policies applied in the preparation of the financial statements are described in the 2022 annual report, and the interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with these accounting policies. Accounting policies that relate to IFRS 4 Insurance contracts and IAS 39 Financial Instruments are no longer applicable.

Storebrand Livsforsikring AS - the company's financial statements The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles that were used in the annual report for 2022.

1.1 New standards and changes to the accounting policies applied

IFRS 9

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaced IAS 39 and was generally applicable from 1 January 2018. However, for insurancedominated groups and companies, IFRS 4 allowed for the implementation of IFRS 9 to be deferred until implementation of IFRS 17. The Storebrand Livsforsikring Group qualified for temporary deferral of IFRS 9 because over 90 per cent of the Group's total liabilities as at 31 December 2015 were linked to the insurance businesses. For the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group, IFRS 9 was implemented together with IFRS 17 from 1 January 2023. Storebrand has restated the 2022-figures according to IFRS 9.

The Storebrand Livsforsikring Group did conduct a provisional analysis of the classification and measurement of financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39 for the transition to IFRS 9, based on the business model for the individual instruments. For debt instruments that were expected to be classified and measured at amortised cost or fair value through total comprehensive income upon transition to IFRS 9, a SPPI ("Solely payment of principal and interest") test was carried out. A significant majority of the financial assets has been measured at fair value (the fair value option was used).

The Ministry of Finance has stipulated regulatory provisions that permit pension providers to recognise investments that are measured at fair value through total comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9 at amortised cost in the customer and company accounts. For the consolidated financial statements, the financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss, where the fair value option is used because the insurance liabilities are measured at fair value.

An assessment of the effects for the Group from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 shows that the most significant changes in the transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 will be linked to hedge accounting and new calculation of expected losses. According to IFRS 9, provisions for losses must be calculated based on expected credit losses when establishing a commitment and must be continuously assessed for impairment in subsequent periods. At year-end 2022, expected credit loss (ECL) was calculated at NOK 1.2 million for the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group. The expected credit loss has not changed significantly when compared with the loss provision under IAS 39. The most important changes in hedge accounting for the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group is that IFRS 9 sets different criteria than IAS 39 for the use of hedge accounting. It is no longer a requirement under IFRS 9 that the hedging arrangement needs to be within a specific interval, and it is now possible to rebalance the hedge under existing hedging arrangements and it is also possible to use multiple hedging instruments for the same hedge item. The transition to IFRS 9 has no accounting effects for existing hedging.

IFRS 17

The Storebrand Livsforsikring Group have implemented IFRS 17 in the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS and SPP Pension & Försäkring AB, the statutory reporting remains unchanged. Storebrand has chosen not to apply the OCI option for contracts measured under IFRS 17. The OCI option involves recognizing impacts of changes in financial assumptions for products measured under GMM or PAA over the other comprehensive income, rather than in the profit and loss.

1.1.1 Scope:

An insurance contract pursuant to IFRS 17 is a contract in which Storebrand accepts significant insurance risk from a policyholder by consenting to pay compensation to the policyholder if an insured event adversely affects the policyholder. Certain investment contracts that have a legal form of an insurance contract, but do not expose the Group to significant insurance risk, are classified as investment contracts under IFRS 9. Unit link for Storebrand and unit link at SPP are not considered to satisfy the definition of an insurance contract pursuant to IFRS 17 due to the insurance risk being considered immaterial. The contracts are therefore recognised in accordance with IFRS 9.

Storebrand uses reinsurance to limit insurance risk. Reinsurance contracts are covered by IFRS 17, but since the reinsurance programme is relatively limited, the new accounting policies have a minor impact on the accounts.

1.2 Accounting policies

1.2.1 Measurement model

IFRS 17 introduces measurement models in which insurance revenue is recognised through profit and loss over time as the entity provides insurance related services. The model is based on the present value of expected future cash flows that are expected to arise when the entity fulfils contracts (FCF), an explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA) and the unearned profit the entity expects to earn as it provides services, the contractual service margin (CSM).

Insurance contracts are subject to different requirements for measurement models based on whether the insurance contracts are classified as contracts with or without direct participation features, meaning whether the policyholder is expected to receive an amount equal to a substantial share of the returns on the underlying items, the contractual terms specify that the policyholder participates in a share of a clearly identified pool of underlying items, and the entity expects to pay a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts paid to the policyholder to vary with the change in fair value of the underlying items. Contracts with direct participation features are measured according to the variable fee approach (VFA), and contracts without direct participation features are measured according to the general measurement model (GMM). For short-term contracts with a coverage period up to 12 months, the simplified premium allocation approach (PAA) is applied.

Storebrand determines whether a contract meets the definition of a contract with direct participation features at inception. There is no new classification of the contract unless the contract is modified by amending the contract terms in such a manner that they no longer meet the mentioned conditions. Storebrand issues a number of insurance contracts which are essentially investment-related service contracts, for which the company promises a return on investment based on underlying items. These satisfy the definition of insurance contracts with direct participation features and include a substantial proportion of the Group's guaranteed products. Insurance contracts with direct participation features are measured using the variable fee approach. Other insurance contracts with a short coverage period up to 12 months are measured according to the premium allocation approach. The group disability pensions is measured according to the general measurement model.

An assessment of the effects for the Group from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 shows that the most significant changes in the transition from IAS 39 to IFRS 9 will be linked to hedge accounting and new calculation of expected losses. According to IFRS 9, provisions for losses must be calculated based on expected credit losses when establishing a commitment and must be continuously assessed for impairment in subsequent periods. At year-end 2022, expected credit loss (ECL) was calculated at NOK 60.4 million for the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group. The expected credit loss has not changed significantly when compared with the loss provision under IAS 39. The most important changes in hedge accounting for the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group is that IFRS 9 sets different criteria than IAS 39 for the use of hedge accounting. It is no longer a requirement under IFRS 9 that the hedging arrangement needs to be within a specific interval, and it is now possible to rebalance the hedge under existing hedging arrangements and it is also possible to use multiple hedging instruments for the same hedge item. The transition to IFRS 9 has no accounting effects for existing hedging.

1.2.2 Contracts measured according to variable fee approach and general measurement method.

At initial recognition, the carrying value of the insurance contract liability is measured as the sum of:

1. An explicit, unbiased and probability-weighted estimate of all cash flows within the contract's boundary.
1. An adjustment for the time value of money based on a risk-free discount rate that is adjusted to reflect the liquidity of the cash flows.
1. An explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk.
1. Contractual service margin which represents the unearned profit the entity will recognise as it provides insurance contract services in accordance with the insurance contracts in the Group.

Storebrand classifies a contract as onerous at initial recognition if the fulfilment cash flows that are allocated to the contracts, plus any cash flows previously recognised upon acquisition or at initial recognition, are expected to be a net outflow. This does not apply to contracts measured at transition based on the fair value.

The contractual service margin is included in the insurance liability for contracts that are not onerous and is systematically recognised in the income statement over the coverage period based on the pattern of transferred insurance contract services. Determining the release pattern is subject to significant use of judgement and is determined by:

Identifying the coverage units (CU) in the Group based on the quantity of the insurance contract services that are provided under the contracts in the Group and the expected coverage period.
Allocating the contractual service margin to each coverage unit provided in the current period and expected to be provided in the future.
Recognising in profit or loss the amount allocated to coverage units provided in the period.

If an insurance contracts' cash flows is negative, Storebrand recognises a loss component (LC) in profit or loss equivalent to the net outflow for the group of onerous contracts. The determination of a loss component entails that the carrying value of the liability for the contract group is equal to the fulfilment cash flows, and that the contract group's contractual service margin is equal to zero after the loss recognition.

Upon subsequent measurement, the carrying value of a group of insurance contracts at the reporting date corresponds to the total sum of the liability for remaining coverage (LRC) and the liability for incurred claims (LIC). Liability for remaining coverage period corresponds to the present value of future fulfilment cash flows that relate to future services and the remaining contractual service margin. The liability for incurred claims includes fulfilment cash flows that relate to incurred claims, including events that have occurred but for which claims have not been reported, and other incurred insurance expenses.

The present value of expected future cash flows is updated at the end of each period based on updated estimates of future cash flows, discount rate and risk adjustment for non-financial risk. The change in fulfilment cash flows is recognised as follows for contracts measured using the variable fee approach:

Changes that relate to future services, such as changes in assumptions relating to long life expectancy, disability and mortality.	Adjusted in relation to contractual service margin
Differences between any investment component expected to become payable in the period and the actual investment component that becomes payable.	Adjusted in relation to contractual service margin
Changes that relate to current or previous services, for example difference between estimated and actual insurance service expenses.	Recognised in profit and loss from insurance services
The entity's share of the effects that result from the time value of money, financial risk and the effect of these on the cash flows.	Adjusted in relation to contractual service margin

In the subsequent measurement, the contractual service margin is only adjusted for changes that apply to future services. This entails that changes in cash flows for future services are recognised as profit or loss as Storebrand provides services. At the end of each reporting period, the contractual service margin represents the profit that is not recognised in the income statement as profit or loss since it relates to future services.

One of the primary differences between the variable fee approach and general measurement model is that when using the variable fee approach, the contractual service margin must be adjusted for the entity's share of any effects resulting from market variables and their effect on the cash flows. The purpose of the adjustment is to reduce mismatch and volatility by recognising Storebrand's share of changes in the value of the underlying items in the contractual service margin.

When applying general measurement model, the entity is not permitted to make such an adjustment. The change in fulfilment cash flows is thereby recognised as follows for contracts measured using general measurement model:

Changes that relate to future services, such as changes in assumptions relating to long life expectancy, disability and mortality.	Adjusted in relation to contractual service margin.
Differences between any investment component expected to become payable in the period and the actual investment component that becomes payable.	Not applicable for Storebrand contracts measured under the general measurement model.
Changes that relate to current or previous services, for example difference between estimated and actual insurance service expenses.	Recognised in profit and loss from insurance services.
Effects that result from time value of money, financial risk and the effect of these on the cash flows.	Recognised as financial insurance income or expenses.

CONSEQUENCES OF TRANSITION TO IFRS 17 IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT:

Change from IFRS 4	Net effect on equity upon transition to IFRS 17
The present value of fulfilment cash flows increases in total as a result of a reduction in discounting, since IFRS 17 requires the use of market values.	Reduction
IFRS 17 requires the calculation of a risk adjustment for non-financial risk that increases the present value of FCF.	Reduction
The contractual service margin upon transition is determined using the fair value method. Reduction
Reclassification of risk equalisation reserve from equity to liability.	Reduction
Under IFRS 4, the value-of-in-force (VIF) that arises in connection with acquisitions is classified as intangible assets and amortized on an ongoing basis. With the introduction of IFRS 17, VIF is included as part of contractual service margin and thus the total intangible assets will be reduced upon the transition to IFRS 17.	Reduction

1.2.3 Contracts measured according to premium allocation approach

The premium allocation approach is an optional, simplified measurement model for insurance and reinsurance contracts with a short coverage period that is a maximum of 12 months, or when the entity reasonably expects that applying the premium allocation approach would produce a measurement of the liability for remaining coverage for the Group that would not differ materially from the one that would be produced applying the general measurement model. The coverage period is defined as the period during which the entity provides insurance contract services, which includes the insurance contract services that apply to all premiums within the limits of the contract. The premium allocation approach measures the liability for the remaining coverage period based on premiums received, rather than the present value of expected future fulfilment cash flows as under variable fee approach and general measurement model. Storebrand applies premium allocation approach to all P&C insurance and risk products in the Norwegian and Swedish markets.

Upon initial recognition of each group of insurance contracts, the carrying value of the liability for the remaining coverage period is measured as the total of premiums received as of the recognition date. Storebrand has chosen to recognise cash flows for the acquisition of insurance costs in the income statement when these are incurred. In the subsequent measurement, the carrying value of the liability for the remaining coverage period is increased by new premiums received and reduced by the share of premiums recognised for services provided. Insurance income for the period is equal to the amount of expected premium payments allocated to the period. The expected premium payments are allocated over each period based on the passage of time unless the expected pattern for release of risk during the coverage period differs significantly from the passage of time. Since Storebrand provides insurance services within one year of receiving the premiums, there will be no need to adjust the liability for the remaining coverage period for the time value of money in

accordance with IFRS 17. If, at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of insurance contracts is onerous, Storebrand recognises a loss in the income statement and correspondingly increase the liability for the remaining coverage period.

Storebrand recognises a liability for incurred claims for claims that are incurred as of the reporting date. The cash flows for incurred claims are adjusted for non-financial risk (RA) and discounted using the current discount rate if cash flows are expected to be paid out more than 12 months from the claim date. The premium allocation approach applies correspondingly to reinsurance contracts, with some adjustments which reflect that the reinsurance contracts entail that Storebrand has a net asset and that the risk adjustment is negative.

Change from IFRS 4	Effect on equity upon transition to IFRS 17
The present value of fulfilment cash flows related to claims incurred is discounted if the cash flows are paid more than 12 months from the date of the claim.	Increase
IFRS 17 requires the calculation of risk adjustment for non financial risk that increases the present value of fulfilment cash flows.	Reduction
IFRS 17 requires adjustment of the income profile/liability for remaining coverage if the expected pattern of release of risk during the coverage period differs significantly from the passage of time.	Increase/decrease

1.2.4 Aggregation level for insurance contracts

Under IFRS 17, insurance contracts are measured at group level. Groups of insurance contracts are determined by identifying portfolios of insurance contracts that include contracts that are subject to similar risk and are managed together. Storebrand identifies groups of insurance contracts by assessing the underlying insurance risk in the contracts and how changes in underlying assumptions influence the contracts. The insurance risks are described in more detail in Note 5. Furthermore, managed together is assessed based on, among other things, how the business areas manage the insurance contracts internally, the levels used when reporting to management and in risk management. Contracts within different product lines, or that are issued by different Group companies, are included in different portfolios of contracts. At initial recognition, contracts within a portfolio are further divided into groups of onerous contracts, groups that have no significant possibility of becoming onerous if any and groups of the remaining contracts in the portfolio.

The standard prohibits the grouping of contracts issued more than one year apart in the same group. This involves requirements for further division into annual cohorts based on the year of issue. In adopting IFRS 17, the EU has introduced an optional exemption from annual cohorts for contracts with direct participation features measured under variable fee approach. This means that portfolios of contracts with direct participation features are grouped solely based on profitability, irrespective of the year of issue. Storebrand has chosen to make use of the EU exemption from annual cohorts.

1.2.5 Cash flows within the boundaries of a contract

When measuring a group of insurance contracts under IFRS 17, all future cash flows within the boundaries of an existing insurance contract are included. Cash flows are within the boundary of an insurance contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the entity can compel the policyholder to pay the premiums or in which the entity has a substantive obligation to provide the policyholder with insurance contract services.

Such an obligation to provide insurance contract services ends when:

Storebrand has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the particular policyholder and, as a result, can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects those risks; or
Storebrand has the practical ability to set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects the risk in the portfolio until the date when the risks are reassessed and does not take into account the risks that relate to periods after the reassessment date.

For guaranteed products measured under the variable fee approach, the boundaries of the contract generally include future premiums, as well as the associated fulfilment cash flows. This is because Storebrand is unable to reassess the

policyholder's risk and thus cannot set a new price or level of benefits that fully reflects these risks. This applies both to the individual contracts and at portfolio level.

The estimated cash flows for a group of contracts include all ingoing and outgoing payments that are directly related to the fulfilment of insurance contract services. This includes benefits and compensation to policyholders including, but not limited to:

Premiums and any additional cash flows resulting from these premiums.
Claims and benefits to or on behalf of a policyholder.
Costs associated with handling compensation claims.
Costs associated with handling and maintaining policies.
Lapse from Storebrand.
Transaction-based taxes and fees for SPP.
An allocation of fixed and variable joint expenses that are directly attributable to fulfilling insurance contracts (for example, costs of accounting, HR and IT). Allocation takes place at group level using systematic and rational methods that are applied consistently.

In addition, cash flows arising from expenses relating to the sale, subscription and establishment of a group of insurance contracts will be included in the measurement of an insurance contract. This applies to cash flows that are directly attributable to the portfolio of insurance contracts to which the group belongs.

1.2.6 Risk adjustment

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA) represents the compensation that Storebrand requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of cash flows that arise from non-financial risk. The risks covered by the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are insurance risk and other non-financial risks such as:

Mortality
Long life expectancy
Disability/reactivation
P&C insurance risk
Expenses
Catastrophe
Lapse

The risk adjustment is calculated separately from the estimates of future cash flows and included in the measurement of insurance contracts in an explicit way. This ensures that the estimates of future cash flows do not account for any additional risk adjustment beyond the explicitly calculated risk adjustment. The method used to calculate the risk adjustment for nonfinancial risks is described in Note 2.

1.2.7 Discount rate

To calculate a present value of future expected cash flows, a discount rate must be defined that reflects the time value of money and the financial risks associated with those cash flows. The discount curve is determined for the first time at the transition date and then updated continuously at each reporting date. Storebrand has chosen to use a bottom-up approach for determining the discount rate, whereby a risk-free yield curve is used that is adjusted for liquidity premium to reflect the liquidity characteristics of insurance contracts. The risk-free yield curve is derived using the Norwegian and Swedish ten year swap rate, and the credit risk adjustment is determined by using EIOPAs credit risk adjustment. After ten years, the yield curve is extrapolated to a forward rate using EIOPAs ultimate forward rate (UFR). An illiquidity premium is added to reflect the assumption that the fulfilment cash flows is illiquid during the period.

1.3 Transition to IFRS 17

According to IFRS 17 a retrospective transition method must be applied for the opening balance sheet. However, a modified retrospective transition method or fair value approach is permitted if retrospective application is impracticable. Storebrand has decided to use the fair value approach at the transition date when transitioning to IFRS 17, since the retrospective transition method is not considered to be practicable. This applies to contracts with a coverage period of more than one year. For contracts with a coverage period of less than one year the full retrospective approach has been applied, as there is concluded that only current and prospective information is required to reflect circumstances at the transition date. Storebrand uses the fair value hierarchy in accordance with IFRS 13, where fair value reflects the market price that well-informed parties would agree on as a fair transaction price. For products for which there is an active transfer market, the transfer value is used as an estimate of fair value. For contracts where there are no active market, Storebrand

uses relevant transactions as a reference point to determine the fair value. By using the fair value approach at the transition date of 1 January 2022, the difference between the fair value of a group of contracts and the fulfilment cash flows, with the addition of risk adjustment in accordance with IFRS 17, will form the basis for the contractual service margin. For all contracts measured under the fair value approach, Storebrand has used reasonable and documentable information available at the transition date to make assessments related to the recognition and measurement of the contracts, including:

Determining the level of aggregation based on portfolios and profitability groups.
Determining risk adjustment.
Determining measurement method, including assessment of criteria for the use of premium allocation approach for contracts with a short coverage period and variable fee approach for contracts that satisfy the definition of contracts with direct participation features.
How to identify discretionary cash flows for insurance contracts without direct participation features.

1.3.1 Changes in equity at transition

The following table shows changes in equity during the transition to IFRS 17. In the transition to IFRS 17, the equity is decreased by approximately 31%. The decrease in equity will mainly be offset by the creation of the contractual service margin. Under IFRS 4, Value-of-in-force (VIF) which arises in connection with acquisitions were classified as intangible assets and are amortized on an ongoing basis. With the introduction of IFRS 17, VIF is included as part of contractual service margin and thus total intangible assets will be reduced by the transition to IFRS 17.

Deferred tax assets

The increase in deferred tax asset is due to effects on deferred tax as a result of changes in equity when implementing IFRS 9 and 17.

Other assets

Under previous reporting framework, IFRS 4, the value-of-in-force (VIF) that arises in connection with acquisitions was classified as intangible assets and amortized on an ongoing basis. With the introduction of IFRS 17, VIF is included as part of CSM and thus the total intangible assets is reduced.

Financial assets

The increase in financial assets is due to transition to IFRS 9 and is mainly related to an increase in the valuation of debt instruments which is measured at fair value through profit or loss. These instruments were previously measured at amortised cost under IFRS 4.

Receivable

The decrease in receivables is mainly related to reclassification effects where the receivables related to direct operations in the P&C business is reclassified to insurance liabilities. The decrease is related to deferred acquisition cost from the Swedish insurance business, SPP. With the introduction of IFRS 17, deferred acquisition costs is reduced, which impacts both receivables and other liabilities.

Equity

The decrease in equity is explained in the equity reconciliation above.

Insurance liabilities

The insurance liabilities excluding CSM and risk adjustment decrease with the introduction of IFRS 17. The decrease is due to reclassification effects as explained under Receivable, new measurement models and discounting effects. According to IFRS 17, the CSM and risk adjustment is a part of the insurance contract liability and will be presented collectively in the financial statement.

Contractual service margin

The contractual service margin is introduced with the transition to IFRS 17 and represents expected future profits. The contractual service margin is derived at transition from the difference between the fair value of a group of contracts and insurance liabilities including risk adjustment.

Risk adjustment

The risk adjustment is introduced with the transition to IFRS 17 and represents the non-financial risk arising from insurance contracts.

Other liabilities

The decrease is related to deferred acquisition cost from the Swedish insurance business, SPP. With the introduction of IFRS 17, deferred acquisition cost is reduced, which impacts both receivables and other liabilities.

Note

Important accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing the Group's financial statements the management are required to make estimates, judgements and assumptions of uncertain amounts. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on historical experience and expectations of future events and represent the management's best judgement at the time the financial statements were prepared.

Actual results may differ from these estimates.

A description of the most critical estimates and judgements that can affect recognised amounts is included in the 2022 annual report in note 2, valuation of financial instruments at fair value is described in note 13 and in the interim financial statements note 10 Solvency II.

A description of the use of significant judgement and accounting estimates related to the new accounting policies introduced by IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and IFRS 9 Financial instruments is provided below.

2.1 Insurance contracts

2.1.1 Definition and classification:

Significance of insurance risk:Storebrand applies judgement to assess the significance of insurance risk. The assessment is performed at initial recognition on a contract-by-contract basis. When classifying contracts under IFRS 17, Storebrand takes into consideration its substantive rights and obligations, irrespective of whether these stem from a contract, a law, or a regulation. Storebrand considers possible elements that have commercial substance when assessing the significance of insurance risk, including events that are extremely unlikely.

Contracts that have a legal form of an insurance contract are considered to have insignificant insurance risk if the additional amounts paid upon the occurrence of an insured event make up 5% or less of the amount payable to the policyholder in all other circumstances. Contracts that fall marginally above or below this threshold are subject to closer assessment from a specialized unit to insure consistency across all group companies. The application of judgement in this area excludes unit-link contracts with investment choice in Storebrand and SPP from the scope of IFRS 17.

Investment component:Storebrand considers all the contractual terms to determine whether an investment component exists. The amount an insurance contract requires the group to repay to a policyholder in all circumstances, regardless of whether an insured event occurs, are classified as non-distinct investment components. For collective group insurance contracts with mutualization features, amounts repayable to "a policyholder" include amounts the group is required to repay to any current or future policyholder within the collective group of policyholders.

All contracts measured under the variable fee approach feature investment components that the group is required to repay to current or future policyholders under all possible circumstances. Payouts that relate to such amounts are not part of the insurance service expenses. The effect of any deviation or changes in the expected pattern or timing of such repayments adjusts the CSM.

2.1.2 The methods and assumptions used to measure insurance contracts:

Storebrand uses a combination of deterministic and stochastic projection methods to estimate the future cash flows for a group of insurance contracts. The estimates of future cash flows reflect the Group's best estimates given current conditions at the reporting date and take into account any relevant market variables in accordance with observable market data.

Expenses:The estimated future expenses that are directly attributed to the fulfilment of existing insurance contracts are taken into account. The expenses are estimated according to the Group's own cost analyses and are based on the current level of operating costs during the most recent periods combined with assumptions about future inflationary trends and wage developments that reflect the management's best estimate. Only immediate cost-rationalization measures are taken into account when estimating future expenses.

The cash flows within the contract boundary include an allocation of fixed and variable overhead costs directly attributable to the fulfilment of insurance contracts. To reflect such overhead costs, Storebrand uses systematic and rational allocation methods that reflect the products driving the costs. The allocation method is applied consistently for cost categories that share similar characteristics.

Biometric assumptions:Contracts measured under the general measurement model and the variable fee approach expose Storebrand to biometric risks such as longevity, mortality and disability. This means that a key source of estimation uncertainty when measuring the fulfilment cash flows for non-PAA contracts is related to assumptions and estimates concerning biometric variables.

Storebrand applies widely recognized actuarial models to make best estimate assumptions related to biometric variables. When estimating biometric variables, the Group incorporates measures to reflect recent historical data and

the characteristics of the underlying populations, including gender, age, disability and other relevant policyholder data. The best estimate assumptions used under IFRS 17 are consistent with those applied under Solvency II.

Adverse development in biometric risks may result in a reduction in the insurance service result or the contractual service margin. However, due to mutualisation, Storebrand's exposure to biometric risk is often limited by existing buffers.

Lapse rates:Lapse rates are determined using statistical measures based on the Group's own experience and vary by product category and external market conditions. For large parts of the guaranteed pension segment, the lapse rate is assumed to be close to zero percent. This is due to an inactive market for group and individual defined benefit plans in a low interest rate environment in recent years. Changes in the expected lapse rates affects mainly the contractual service margin.

Investment returns:Storebrand applies a stochastic modelling technique to project asset returns for all contracts measured under the variable fee approach or the general measurement model. Using this model, the Group generates a range of potential economic scenarios based on a probability distribution that reflects the investment strategy and other relevant market variables. The random variations are therefore based on the volatility of asset portfolios backing a specific category of insurance contracts.

Applying IFRS 17 standard, the expected return on assets equals on average the discount rate applied in the measurement of the fulfilment cash flows.

Discount rates:The discount rate is determined as the risk-free rate, plus an illiquidity premium to reflect the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts. The key sources of estimation uncertainty relate to determining the yield curve beyond the observable data points at which interest rate swaps in Norway and Sweden are traded, and adjusting for any inherent credit risk in the underlying reference rates. Storebrand addresses this uncertainty by using well established methodologies set out by EIOPA to determine the ultimate forward rate and credit risk adjustment. The methodology used is described in Note 1. This method maximizes the use of observable market variables and ensures that the estimates reflect the current market conditions and other reasonably available information. Other sources of estimation uncertainty relate to the estimation of the liquidity characteristics of the insurance contracts and the underlying financial instruments.

Q2 2023	1 year	5 years	10 years	15 years	20 years
NOK	5.11 %	4.34%	3.96%	3.82 %	3.75 %
SEK	4.11%	3.25 %	2.92 %	3.02%	3.12%

The yield curves that were applied for discounting the estimated future cash flows are listed below:

Risk adjustment for non-financial risk:The risk adjustment is calculated based on cost of capital. The basis for the calculation is the capital charge under Solvency II standard model for the relevant risks for the entire coverage period and a cost of capital of 6 percent p.a., discounted by the discount rate. This shares similarities with the risk margin under Solvency II, but with some adjustments which primarily are the exclusion of operational risk and counterparty risk.

The corresponding confidence level is based on the distribution of the one-year value at risk for the solvency capital due to losses from the included risks. The risk calibration is based on the partial internal model, including a simplified approach for non-life risks which are outside of scope for the partial internal model. The confidence level is >95 percent.

The main source of uncertainty when determining the risk adjustment for non-financial risk is related to the non-financial risk factors listed in note 5 Insurance risks.

Amortization of the contractual service margin:Storebrand applies judgement to identify the quantity of benefits provided in a group of insurance contracts and allocate the contractual service margin based on coverage units. The coverage units are determined based on the expected duration linked to the group of insurance contracts, this is applied consistently over time and across contracts that share similar characteristics:

Contracts with direct participation (VFA): Storebrand Livsforsikring uses the policyholder's reserves as a basis for determining the level of benefits provided when calculating the coverage unit per group of insurance contracts measured under the variable fee approach. For SPP, policyholder funds, including the deferred capital contribution (DCC), are used as a basis for the assessment of coverage unit. This insures a relatively stable amortization and serves as a scaling factor for variable fee approach contracts providing both insurance coverage and investment-related services. Non-participating contracts (GMM): For group disability insurance in Norway, Storebrand uses insurance premiums as a basis to determine the quantity of benefits during the first coverage year (accumulation phase), as opposed to the policyholder reserves during the pay-out phase. At the end of each reporting period, the total coverage units are reassessed to reflect the expected pattern of service, contract cancellations and lapse when applicable. Storebrand provides no investment-return services under the group disability insurance, as the contract does not feature any investment components.

For contracts measured under the variable fee approach, Storebrand makes further adjustments to the coverage units to ensure that the contractual service margin release reflects the insurance services provided in the reporting period. These adjustments are made to account for the fact that the expected financial return on average exceeds the discount rate used to project future assets under IFRS 17. This creates a state in which the contractual service margin release must be adjusted to avoid an artificial delay in the recognition of such excess earnings for variable fee approach contracts. The contractual service margin is discounted using the discount rates provided above.

Profit by segments

Storebrand´s operation includes the segments Savings, Insurance, Guaranteed Pension and Other.

Savings

The savings segment includes products for retirement savings with no interest rate guarantees. The segment consists of defined contribution pensions in Norway and Sweden. In addition, certain other subsidiaries in Storebrand Livsforsikring and SPP are included in Savings..

Insurance

The insurance segment provides personal risk products in the Norwegian retail market in addition to employer's liability insurance and pension-related insurance in the Norwegian and Swedish corporate markets

Guaranteed pension

The guaranteed Pension segment includes long-term pension savings products which provides customers a guaranteed rate of return. The area includes defined benefit pensions in Norway and Sweden, paid-up policies and individual capital and pension insurances.

Other

The result for the company portfolios of Storebrand Livsforsikring and SPP are reported in the Other segment.

Reconciliation between the income statement and alternative income statement (segment)

The alternative income statement is based on the statutory accounts of the legal entities in the Group, adjusted for intercompany transactions. The statutory accounts in the legal entities is primarily similar to IFRS with the exception of IFRS 17 for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS and SPP Pension & Forsäkring AB where the local GAAP is more aligned with the historical IFRS 4 reporting. Since the alternative income statement is based on the statutory accounts of the legal entities, the group adjustments related to amortisation and tax effects on acquired business is not included in the alternative income statement. The results in the segments are reconciled against the statutory income statement of each legal entity in the Group.

Due to the fundamental differences between the alternative income statement and IFRS 17, it is not possible to reconcile the numbers for most IFRS 17 products since the underlying drivers for the profit and loss recognition is based on different principles. Storebrand has communicated that it will continue to report its alternative income statement post IFRS 17, as this cash-equivalent reporting provides useful information about the value creation in the business.

Fee and administration income

Storebrand Livsforsikring charges a fee for interest rate guarantee and profit risk. The interest rate guarantees in group pension insurance with a interest guarantee must be priced upfront. The level of the interest rate guarantee, the size of the buffer capital (additional statutory reserves and market value adjustment reserve), and the investment risk of the portfolio in which the pensions assets are invested determine the fee that the customer pays for the interest rate guarantee.

There are also fee's for asset management and other administration fees for both savings and guaranteed products.

The insurance result consists of insurance premiums and claims

Insurance premiums consist of premium income related to risk products (insurance segment) that are classified as insurance income in the statutory financial income statements.

Claims consist of paid-out claims and changes in provisions for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR) and claims reported but not settled (RBNS) relating to risk products that are classified as insurance expenses in the statutory income statements.

Operating costs consist of the Group's operating costs excluding operating costs allocated to traditional individual products with profit sharing. Operating costs are classified as operating expenses and insurance expenses in the statutory income statement.

Financial items and risk result life and pensions include risk result life and pensions and financial result includes net profit sharing and Loan Losses.

Risk result life and pensions consists of the difference between risk premium and claims for products relating to definedcontribution pension, unit linked insurance contracts (savings segment) and defined-benefit pension (guaranteed pension segment). Risk premium is classified as insurance income in the statutory income statements. The financial result consists of the return for the company portfolios of Storebrand Livsforsikring AS and SPP Pension & Försäkring AB (Other segment), while returns for the other company portfolios in the Group are a financial result within the segment which the business is associated with. Return on company portfolios are classified as net income on financial and property investment in the statutory income statements. The net income financial and property investment in the statutory income statements also includes return on customer assets, both guaranteed and non guaranteed. Net profit sharing

Storebrand Livsforsikring AS

A modified profit-sharing regime was introduced for old and new individual contracts that have left group pension insurance policies (paid-up policies), which allows the company to retain up to 20 per cent of the profit from returns after any allocations to additional statutory reserves. The modified profit-sharing model means that any negative risk result can be deducted from the customers' interest profit before sharing, if it is not covered by the risk equalisation fund. Individual endowment insurance and pensions written by the Group prior to 1 January 2008 will continue to apply the profit rules effective prior to 2008. New contracts may not be established in this portfolio. The Group can retain up to 35 per cent of the total result after allocations to additional statutory reserves. Any negative returns on customer portfolios and returns lower than the interest guarantee that cannot be covered by additional statutory reserves/buffer reserves must be covered by the company's equity and will be included in the net profit-sharing and losses line.

SPP Pension & Försäkring AB

For premiums paid from and including 2016, previous profit sharing is replaced by a guarantee fee for premiumdetermined insurance (IF portfolio). The guarantee fee is annual and is calculated as 0.2 per cent of the capital. This goes to the company. For contributions agreed to prior to 2016, the profit sharing is maintained, i.e. that if the total return on assets in one calendar year for a premium-determined insurance (IF portfolio) exceeds the guaranteed interest, profit sharing will be triggered. When profit sharing is triggered, 90 per cent of the total return on assets passes to the policyholder and 10 per cent to the company. The company's share of the total return on assets is included in the financial result. In the case of defined-benefit insurance (KF portfolio), the company is entitled to charge an indexing fee if the group profit allows the indexing of the insurance. Indexing is allowed up to a maximum equalling the change in the consumer price index (CPI) between the previous two Septembers. Pensions that are paid out are indexed if the ratio between assets and guaranteed insurance liabilities in the portfolio as at 30 September exceeds 107 per cent, and half of the fee is charged. The entire fee will be charged if the ratio between assets and guaranteed insurance liabilities in the portfolio as at 30 September exceeds 120 per cent, in which case paid-up policies can also be included. The total fee equals 0.8 per cent of the insurance capital. The guaranteed liability is continuously monitored. If the guaranteed liability is higher than the value of the assets, a provision must be made in the form of a deferred capital contribution. If the assets are lower than the guaranteed liability when the insurance payments start, the company supplies capital up to the guaranteed liability in the form of a realised capital contribution. Changes in the deferred capital contribution are included in the financial result.

Loan losses: Loan losses consist of individual and group write-downs on lending activities that are on the balance sheet of Storebrand Bank Group. In the Group's income statement, the item is classified under loan losses. With regard to loan losses that are on the balance sheet of the Storebrand Livsforsikring Group, these will not be included on this line in either the alternative income statement or in the Group's income statement, but in the Group's income statement will be included in the item, net income on financial and property investment in the statutory income statements.

Note 5 Financial market risk and insurance risk

Risks are described in the annual report for 2022 in note 8 (Financial market risk), note 9 (Liquidity risk), note 10 (Credit risk), note 11 (Concentrations of risk) and note 12 (Climate risk).

The group accounts for Storebrand Livsforsikring are prepared in accordance with IFRS. From 2023, new accounting standards for financial instruments (IFRS 9) and insurance contracts (IFRS 17) applies. The corporate account for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS (Storebrand Livsforsikring) continue to be prepared in accordance with Norwegian GAAP, consistent with the customer accounts. The statutory accounts for SPP Pension & Försäkring AB (SPP) continues to be prepared in accordance with Swedish GAAP.

The risk management of the investments is still aimed at controlling the risk based on the customer accounts and GAAP corporate account for Storebrand Livsforsikring and SPP. The description of financial market risk below, mainly reflect the risk measured by these principles.

The new IFRS-standards change the dynamics of the reported group results. The effect of changes in financial market for the IFRS result is reported below under Sensitivities.

Financial market risk

Market risk means changes in the value of assets due to unexpected volatility or price changes in the financial markets. It also refers to the risk that the value of the insurance liability develops differently than the assets due to interest rate changes. The most significant market risks are interest rate risk, equity market risk, property price risk, credit risk and currency exchange rate risk.

The financial assets are invested in a variety of sub-portfolios. Market risk affects Storebrand's income and profit differently in the different portfolios. There are three main types of sub-portfolios: company portfolios, customer portfolios without a guarantee (unit linked insurance) and customer portfolios with a guarantee.

The market risk in the company portfolios has a direct impact on the profit. Storebrand aims to take low financial risk for the company portfolios, and most of the funds are invested in short and medium-term fixed income securities with low credit risk.

The market risk in unit linked insurance is borne by the customers, meaning Storebrand is not directly affected by changes in value. Nevertheless, changes in value do affect Storebrand's profit indirectly. Income is based mainly on the size of the portfolios, while the costs tend to be fixed. Lower returns from the financial market than expected will therefore have a negative effect on Storebrand's income and profit.

For customer portfolios with a guarantee, the net risk for Storebrand will be lower than the gross market risk. The extent of risk sharing with customers depends on several factors, the most important being the size and flexibility of the customer buffers, and the level and duration of the interest rate guarantee. If the investment return is not sufficiently high to meet the guaranteed interest rate, the shortfall will be met by using customer buffers in the form of risk capital built up from previous years' surpluses. The buffers primarily consist of unrealised gains, additional statutory reserves, and conditional bonuses. Storebrand is responsible for meeting any shortfall that cannot be covered by the customer buffers. The risk is affected by changes in the interest rate level. Rising interest rates are negative in the short term because resulting price depreciation for bonds and interest rates swaps reduce investment return and buffers. But long term, rising interest rates are positive due to higher probability of achieving a return above the guarantee.

During the first half of 2023, high inflation, together with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, continued to impact the economic news flow. Economic activity has held up better than expected. Inflation has fallen slightly from elevated levels, particularly due to falling energy prices, but the underlying price and wage-pressure is still high. Central banks have continued to rise interest rates to combat inflation. During the first half of 2023, Norges Bank raised the interest rate by 100bp to 3,75 percent and the Sveriges Riksbank raised the interest rate by 125bp to 3,75 percent. Both banks signal further increases later in 2023.

The equity market was positive in the first half of 2023. Global equities rose 15 percent and Norwegian equities rose 2 percent. The credit market was temporarily negatively affected by the closure of two regional banks in the US and the forced merger of Credit Suisse with UBS, but credit spreads generally have fallen slightly during the first half of the year.

Short-term interest rates continued to increase in the first half of 2023, in line with increased policy-rates from the central banks. Long-term interest rates were volatile during the first half of the year, as the market aims to balance the need for combating inflation against the risk of a weaker economy. The Norwegian 10-year swap-rate rose 0.5 pp to 3.8 percent. The Swedish 10-year swap-rate fell 0.1 pp to 3.0 percent.

For the customer accounts and the corporate accounts for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS, most of the interest rate investments in the Norwegian guaranteed customer portfolios are valued at amortized cost. This dampens the effect from interest rate changes on booked returns. The amortized cost portfolio valuation in the accounts is now higher than fair value. For SPP, both investments and liabilities are valued at fair value. Since SPP has a similar interest rate sensitivity on assets and liabilities, changes in interest rates have a quite limited net effect on SPP's financial result under Swedish GAAP.

For the group accounts for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS and Storebrand ASA, all interest rate investments are valued at fair value. The value of these investments is negatively affected by rising interest rates and positively affected by falling interest rates. For the group accounts, the value of the insurance liabilities is also interest rate sensitive with value moving in the opposite direction of the investments. This dampens the risk, but net the risk is falling interest rates.

The Norwegian krone weakened 6 percent against the Swedish krone, 11 percent against the euro and 10 percent against the US dollar in the first half of 2023. A high degree of currency hedging in the portfolio means that the exchange rate fluctuations have a modest effect on results and Storebrand's market risk.

There is an elevated risk associated with the valuation of financial instruments. There is thus greater uncertainty than normal related to pricing of financial instruments that are priced based on models, and it must be assumed that, when concerning illiquid assets, there is a difference between the estimated value and the price achieved when sold in the market. Valuations related to investment properties are considered to have particularly increased uncertainty because of macroeconomic developments, and the total transaction volume for investment properties was significantly lower in 2022 and in the first half of 2023 when compared to 2021. Furthermore, the valuation of investment properties is sensitive to changes in input factors such as inflation and interest rates. There is a wide spectrum of possible outcomes for these input factors and thus for the modelled valuations. The values therefore reflect management's best estimate, however, contain greater uncertainty than what would be the case in a normal year.

The market-based return for guaranteed customer portfolios in Norway in general was positive in the first half of 2023. The booked return was also positive but was lower than accrued interest rate guarantee for some of the portfolios. Based on expected investment returns for the rest of the year and the possibility of utilising customer buffers, the effect on the financial result was limited.

The return for guaranteed customer portfolios in Sweden was positive and higher than the change in the value of the liabilities. The effect on the financial result was limited.

The return for the unit linked portfolios was generally positive in the first half of 2023 due to positive equity markets.

During the first quarter, the investment allocation towards equities was increased for the guaranteed customer portfolios in Norway. Other than that, investment allocation has not been materially changed during the first half of 2023.

Sensitivity analyses for the group IFRS result

The sensitivities show the effect for the IFRS result from changes in financial market variables. The effect is disclosed for Fulfillment cash-flows and Contractual Service Margin (CSM) or Loss component (LC).

Changes in Fulfillment cash-flows does not affect the result directly but impact the result through changes in CSM or LC. The CSM is transformed to result as the contractual service is performed. A lower CSM will correspond to a proportionate fall in future results. The CSM can't be negative, so further falls will lead to a LC with an immediate negative result effect. Similarly, an increase in LC will correspond to an immediate negative result effect.

For SPP the effect on CSM from interest rate movements should be limited as the interest rate sensitivity on the asset side closely matches the liability side. The interest rate hedge is however constructed to minimize volatility in the financial result according to Swedish GAAP and there could hence be some volatility in CSM due to the differences between the two accounting standards (IFRS and Swedish GAAP).

Part of SPP's investment strategy is to take investments risk via investments in credits, equities and real assets and the financial result is hence affected by movements in these type of assets. The asset allocation is however individualized, and the investment risk is adjusted according to the risk capacity on the different policies.

Because it is the immediate market changes that are calculated, dynamic risk management will not affect the outcome. If it is assumed that the market changes occur over a period, then dynamic risk management would reduce the effect of the negative outcomes and reinforce the positive outcomes to some extent.

Insurance risk

Insurance risk is the risk of higher-than-expected payments and/or an unfavourable change in the value of an insurance liability due to Insurance risk is the risk of higher-than-expected payments and/or an unfavourable change in the value of an insurance liability due to actual developments deviating from what was expected when premiums or provisions were calculated. Most of the insurance risk for the group is related to life insurance. Changes in longevity is the greatest insurance risk for Storebrand because higher longevity means that the guaranteed benefits must be paid over a longer period. There are also risks related to disability and early death.

The development of the insurance reserves is dependent on future scenarios and are currently more uncertain than normal. Storebrand will continue to monitor the development of Covid-19 and effects for the economy. The compensation for the Norwegian products group life and workmen's compensation is defined based upon the base amount (grunnbeløpet i folketrygden) at time of payment. The size of future payments will be estimated based upon assumed value of the future base amount and inflation. However, the current insurance reserves represent Storebrand's best estimate of the insurance liabilities.

Storebrand Livsforsikring AS acquired Danica Pensjonsforsikring Norge AS in 2022 and renamed the company to Storebrand Danica Pensjonsforsikring AS. The companies merged on the 2 January 2023. The insurance risk from Storebrand Danica Pensjonsforsikring is mainly related to disability risk. Other insurance risk was not materially changed during the first half of 2023.

Sensitivities

The following sensitivities are calculated:

Financial sensitivities:

Interest rates up 50bp: The interest rate curve is parallel shifted up 50 basis points for the first 10 years, which constitutes the liquid part of the curve. After 10 years the curve is extrapolated towards the long-run ultimate forward rate (UFR).
Interest rates down 50bp: The interest rate curve is parallel shifted down 50 basis points for the first 10 years, which constitutes the liquid part of the curve. After 10 years the curve is extrapolated towards the long-run ultimate forward rate (UFR).
Equity -25%: The value of all equities is reduced by 25 %.
Spread +50bp: The credit spreads are increased by 50 basis points. The liquidity premium of the discount curve is increased by 15 basis points.
Reals estate -10 %: The value of all real estate is reduced by 10 %.

Non-financial sensitivities:

Expenses +5 %: All administration and overhead expenses are increased by 5 % for all the years of the projection.
Disability +5 %, reactivation -5 %: Best estimate for disability is increased by 5 % for all the years of the projection, while the reactivation is reduced by 5 %.
Mortality -5 %: The level of the best estimate for mortality is reduced by 5 %, reducing the mortality intensity for all the years of the projection. The trend is kept unchanged.

The insurance risk and financial market risk affect the CSM volatility and consequently the profit and loss. The sensitivities indicate the uncertainty of the mentioned risks. Storebrand's products hold different insurance- and financial market risk, but the sensitivity calculation is based on the same sensitivities for each product as it is assumed that any changes in assumptions are distributed evenly between the products. The sensitivities are calculated separately for SPP and SBL.

The sensitivities are chosen based on the assumption that they are expected to have the highest impact on the results.

Non-financial: Expenses, mortality, disability, and reactivation
Financial: Risk free interest rate curve up and down, real estate, credit spread and equity
The table presents the CSM impact per 30.06.2023 for the mentioned sensitivities.

The sensitivity calculations indicate that the financial market risks have the largest impact on CSM. A fall in the equity, real estate and interest rates reduce the CSM as it reduces the probability of achieving returns according to the guarantee. In addition, Storebrand's revenue decreases in line with the lower market value of the portfolio. CSM is also impacted negatively with the increase of credit spreads. Changes in non-financial factors gives a lower impact on the CSM.

The Group categorises financial instruments valued at fair value on three different levels. Criteria for the categorisation and processes associated with valuing are described in more detail in note 13 in the annual report for 2022.

The company has established valuation models and gathers information from a wide range of well-informed sources with a view to minimize the uncertainty of valuations.

Note 9

Tax

The effective tax rate is influenced by the fact that the Group has operations in countries with tax rates that are different from Norway and differences from currency hedging of the Swedish subsidiary SPP. The tax rate for companies' subject to the financial tax is 25 per cent. The Storebrand Group includes companies that are both subject to and not subject to the financial tax. Therefore, when capitalising deferred tax/deferred tax assets in the consolidated financial statements, the company tax rate that applies for the individual companies is used (22 or 25 per cent).

The tax rate for companies in Sweden is 20.6 per cent, but a majority of Storebrand's business related to occupational pension is subject to a standardized return tax on the assets managed on behalf of policyholders and not company tax. The expected tax rate from Storebrand's Swedish business is therefore lower than the company tax rate.

Storebrand has hedged part of the currency risk from the investment in the Swedish subsidiaries. Gains/losses on currency derivatives are taxable/deductible, while agio/disagio on the shares in the subsidiaries falls under the exemption method. Hence, large SEK/NOK movements will affect the group tax cost.

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 probable that the Norwegian Tax Administration's interpretation will be accepted in a court of law. Any paid tax related to the uncertain tax positions not recognised in the financial statements is classified as receivables. Significant uncertain tax positions are described below.

for how the companies should revalue/write-down the tax values as at 31 December 2018. In December 2018, the Norwegian Directorate of Taxes published an interpretive statement that Storebrand does not consider to be in accordance with the wording of the relevant act. When presenting the national budget for 2020 in October 2019, the Ministry of Finance proposed a clarification of the wording of the transitional rules in line with the interpretive statement from the Norwegian Directorate of Taxes. The clarification was approved by the Norwegian Parliament in December 2019. Storebrand considers there to be uncertainty regarding the value such subsequent work on a legal rule has as a source of law, and which in this instance only applies for a previous financial year. In the tax return for 2018, Storebrand Livsforsikring AS applied the wording in the original transitional rule. However, in October 2019 Storebrand received a notice of adjustment of tax assessment in line with the interpretive statement from the Norwegian Directorate of Taxes and the clarification from the Ministry of Finance. Storebrand Livsforsikring AS disagrees with the Norwegian Tax Administration's interpretation but considers it uncertain as to whether the company's interpretation will be accepted if the case is decided by a court of law. In April 2022 and January 2023, Storebrand received a decision from the Norwegian Tax Administration based on similar grounds as the ones outlined in the draft decision. Storebrand continues to disagree with the view of the Norwegian Tax Administration and has challenged the decision to the Norwegian Tax Appeals Committee. The uncertain tax position has therefore been recognised in the financial statements. Based on our revised best estimate, the difference between Storebrand's interpretation and the Norwegian Tax Administration's interpretation is approximately NOK 6.4 billion in an uncertain tax position. If Storebrand's interpretation is accepted, a deferred tax expense of approximately NOK 1.6 billion will be derecognised from the financial statements.

During the quarter, Storebrand received a ruling from the Tax Appeals Committee which gives Storebrand full consent in previous uncertain tax positions. Based on the decision from the Tax Appeals Committee, Storebrand has recognized a tax gain of approx. NOK 440 million in the quarter. The tax case in question is described in more detail in note 28 in the annual accounts for 2022 as "case A" and "case C". The decision from the Tax Appeals Committee can be appealed to the court within 6 months.

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 with the Norwegian Tax Appeals Committee is unclear, but Storebrand will, if necessary, seek clarification from the court of law for the aforementioned uncertain tax positions

Storebrand Livsforsikring has received a letter from the Norwegian FSA (Finanstilsynet) regarding the fee structure on paid up policies. The fee element in question amounts to approximately NOK 100 million in annual fees. Storebrand is of the opinion that the fee is legitimate and hence that the company is entitled to it. Storebrand has however chosen not to recognize it as income for the current year until the case is settled/awaiting further proceedings.

Storebrand´s operation includes the segments Savings, Insurance, Guaranteed Pension and Other.

Savings

The savings segment includes products for retirement savings with no interest rate guarantees. The segment consists of defined contribution pensions in Norway. In addition, certain other subsidiaries in Storebrand Livsforsikring are included in Savings.

Insurance

The insurance segment provides personal risk products in the Norwegian retail market in addition to employer's liability insurance and pension-related insurance in the Norwegian corporate markets.

Guaranteed pension

The guaranteed Pension segment includes long-term pension savings products which provides customers a guaranteed rate of return. The area includes defined benefit pensions in Norway, paid-up policies and individual capital and pension insurances.

Other

The result for the company portfolios of Storebrand Livsforsikring and costs related to acquisitions are reported in the Other segment.

Reconciliation with the income statement

The statutory income statement includes gross income and gross expenses linked to both the insurance customers and owners. The various segments are to a large extent followed up on net profit margins, including risk and administration results. The profit lines that are used in segment reporting will therefore not be identical with the profit lines in the statutory income statement.

A description of the most important differences is included in the 2022 annual report in note 4 Segment reporting.

Sensitivity assessments

Note Tax

The tax rate for Storebrand Livsforsikring AS subject to the financial tax is 25 per cent.

Uncertain tax positions

(This is described in point B in previous tax notes for the annual accounts and quarterly reporting) New tax rules for life insurance and pension companies were introduced for the 2018 financial year. These rules contained transitional rules for how the companies should revalue/write-down the tax values as at 31 December 2018. In December 2018, the Norwegian Directorate of Taxes published an interpretive statement that Storebrand does not consider to be in accordance with the wording of the relevant act. When presenting the national budget for 2020 in October 2019, the Ministry of Finance proposed a clarification of the wording of the transitional rules in line with the interpretive statement from the Norwegian Directorate of Taxes. The clarification was approved by the Norwegian Parliament in December

Storebrand considers there to be uncertainty regarding the value such subsequent work on a legal rule has as a source of law, and which in this instance only applies for a previous financial year. In the tax return for 2018, Storebrand Livsforsikring AS applied the wording in the original transitional rule. However, in October 2019 Storebrand received a notice of adjustment of tax assessment in line with the interpretive statement from the Norwegian Directorate of Taxes and the clarification from the Ministry of Finance. Storebrand Livsforsikring AS disagrees with the Norwegian Tax Administration's interpretation but considers it uncertain as to whether the company's interpretation will be accepted if the case is decided by a court of law. In April 2022 and January 2023, Storebrand received a decision from the Norwegian Tax Administration based on similar grounds as the ones outlined in the draft decision. Storebrand continues to disagree with the view of the Norwegian Tax Administration and has challenged the decision to the Norwegian Tax Appeals Committee. The uncertain tax position has therefore been recognised in the financial statements. Based on our revised best estimate, the difference between Storebrand's interpretation and the Norwegian Tax Administration's interpretation is approximately NOK 6.4 billion in an uncertain tax position. If Storebrand's interpretation is accepted, a deferred tax expense of approximately NOK 1.6 billion will be derecognised from the financial statements.
