1 Large losses in excess of NOK 30.0 million are charged to the Corporate Centre, while claims of less than NOK 30.0 million are charged to the segment in which the large losses occur. As a main rule, the Baltic segment has a retention level of EUR 0.5 million, while the Swedish segment has a retention level of NOK 10 million. Large losses allocated to the Corporate Centre amounted to NOK 8.7 million (182.6) for the year to date. Accounting items related to reinsurance are also included.
2 Defined as an alternative performance measure (APM). APMs are described at www.gjensidige.no/reports, under Interim reports 2023 Gjensidige Forsikring ASA, Q1, in a document named Alternative Performance Measures (APM).
3 Large losses = loss events in excess of NOK 10.0 million. Expected large losses for the quarter were NOK 388.0 million.
4 Underlying frequency loss ratio, net of reinsurance = (insurance claims expenses + reinsurance premiums + amounts recovered from reinsurance + large losses, net of reinsurance run-off gains/losses, net of reinsurance - risk adjustment, net of reinsurance)/insurance revenue
5 Solvency ratio = Total eligible own funds to meet the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR), divided by SCR. For the Group and Gjensidige Forsikring ASA total comprehensive income for the year-to-date is included in the solvency calculations, minus a formulaic dividend pay-out ratio in the first, second and third quarter of 80 per cent of net profit.
Continued strong growth due to effective pricing measures, combined with good risk selection and stringent cost control, resulted in a good insurance service result for the quarter despite the difficult weather conditions in Norway. The return on the investment portfolio reflects improved market conditions. The outlook for Gjensidige's insurance service results remains good.
The financial statements are from this quarter stated according to IFRS 9 and 17. Figures for 2022 in this report are shown according to the new accounting standards. For explanations, please see note 4 and 5 as well as www.gjensidige.no/group /investor-relations for documents and a webinar recording.
Gjensidige Forsikring Group recorded a profit before tax expense of NOK 1,491.5 million (1,037.3) for the quarter.
The income tax expense amounted to NOK 344.5 million (82.7), resulting in an effective tax rate of 23.1 per cent (8.0). The effective tax rate was impacted by realised and unrealised gains and losses on equity investments in the EEA.
The profit after tax expense was NOK 1,147.0 million (954.6) and the corresponding earnings per share were NOK 2.26 (1.89). The profit in the first quarter 2022 included a gain of NOK 0.8 billion on the sale of Oslo Areal.
The profit from general insurance operations measured by the insurance service result was NOK 1,114.8 million (903.7), corresponding to a combined ratio of 86.9 (88.3).
Insurance revenue from general insurance increased by 10.3 per cent to NOK 8,531.7 million (7,733.1) in the quarter, or by 7.4 per cent measured in local currency. This was due to solid renewals, effective and differentiated pricing measures and volume growth.
The insurance service result increased by 23.3 per cent, due to higher insurance revenue, lower large losses, a positive discounting effect and higher run-off gains. The underlying frequency loss ratio increased by 3.1 percentage points, with the main driver being difficult weather conditions in Norway which impacted motor claims. The cost ratio was unchanged.
Insurance revenue in the Private segment increased by 5.2 per cent. The insurance service result decreased by 7.2 per cent, driven by a higher underlying frequency loss ratio and increased operating expenses.
Insurance revenue in the Commercial segment increased by 9.5 per cent. The insurance service result decreased, driven by a higher loss ratio (loss ratio net of reinsurance). When adjusting for the run-off losses in the quarter, however, the result improved.
Insurance revenue in the Danish segment increased by 7.7 per cent measured in local currency. The insurance service result increased primarily driven by higher run-off gains, a higher discounting effect, higher insurance revenues and depreciation of the Norwegian krone. Lower large losses and a lower cost ratio also contributed to the improvement.
Insurance revenue in the Swedish segment increased by 9.5 per cent measured in local currency. The insurance service result increased, driven by higher run-off gains, no large losses, an increase in insurance revenues, a lower cost ratio and depreciation of the Norwegian krone.
Insurance revenue in the Baltic segment increased by 5.9 per cent measured in local currency. The insurance service result
was improved driven by a lower loss ratio (loss ratio net of reinsurance) and higher insurance revenue.
The Pension segment generated a loss for the period, driven by both a negative insurance service result and net financial income. The negative insurance service result must be seen in relation to the increase in the Contractual Service Margin which represents expected profit to be released in the future, upon expiry of the insurance contracts.
The financial result for the quarter was NOK 794.1 million (minus 1,128.4), which corresponds to a return on total assets of 1.3 per cent (minus 1.8). The result for the quarter was positively impacted by the rise in global equity markets, depreciation of the Norwegian krone and lower credit spreads and interest rates, especially outside Norway. A high running yield contributed to good returns.
Other items of minus NOK 148.0 million (689.2) comprise mainly results from Gjensidige Mobility Group, amortisation of intangible assets and interest expenses on subordinated loans. The decrease compared to the first quarter 2022 is mainly related to the gain on the sale of Oslo Areal. Further, Gjensidige Mobility Group recorded a higher loss than the first quarter last year, due to integration and start-up costs. Interest expenses on subordinated loans also contributed to the decrease.
The Group's equity amounted to NOK 21,553.1 million (21,313.6) at the end of the period. The annualised return on equity for the year-to-date was 20.1 per cent (16.6). The solvency ratios at the end of the period were:
The Group has a robust solvency position.
Gjensidige has an 'A' rating from Standard & Poor's.

Gjensidige launched a new set of operational targets at the capital markets day in November 2021. They are important to support delivery on strategic priorities and Gjensidige's financial targets. The high customer satisfaction score confirms Gjensidige's strong customer offering. Retention in Norway remained high and stable. The digitalisation and automation metrics improved further. Digital claims reporting declined slightly due to road assistance being included from this quarter.
| Metric | Status Q1 2023 (Q4 2022) |
Target 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Customer satisfaction | 78 (78) | >78, Group |
| 90% (90) | >90%, Norway | |
| Customer retention | 77% (77) | >85%, outside Norway |

| Digital claims reporting | 75% (77) | > 85%, Group |
| Automated claims processing |
60% (59) | > 70%, Norway |
Gjensidige's sustainability targets focus on three areas where the Group can really make a difference: a safer society, sustainable claims handling and responsible investments. For a more detailed description, see the Integrated Annual Report for 2022. A few examples of the most recent results and operational initiatives are listed below:
Launched the second taxonomy aligned insurance product – property insurance for housing associations. With this product, the taxonomy aligned share of gross written premiums was further increased to 9 per cent.
Gjensidige has included grief counselling in the life insurance product as a supplement to various services aimed promoting the mental wellbeing of our customers.
Gjensidige has assessed water damage projections in Norway together with the Norwegian Computing Centre. Insights from the assessment have been published in a scientific article in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. In short, the article points out that water damages are expected to remain fairly stable up until 2050, before increasing by 40 per cent towards 2100. A corresponding mapping is being conducted in Denmark.
The circular resource centre Sirkulær Ressurssentral, founded by Gjensidige among others, was inaugurated on 14 March. The centre will promote the reuse of second-hand and dismantled construction materials in the construction industry by establishing a marketplace for the materials. The centre aims to become the largest of its kind in Northern Europe.
Gjensidige has entered into several new agreements across all geographies where suppliers have committed to increasing the share of repair (as opposed to scrapping) and to use less materials in repair processes.
Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring's sustainability pension profile "Grønn Fremtid" generated the highest return of all funds in Norway in 2022, according to Pensjon Norge.
Gjensidige has joined the Task force on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) and participates in the TNFD Forum. This gives Gjensidige an opportunity to build further competence on threats and opportunities relating to nature risk.
Gjensidige has been given top ranking in the 2023 Sustainable Brand Index and is thus recognised as Norway's most sustainable company in the Insurance and Pension industries. The Sustainable Brand Index is Europe's largest independent brand study on sustainability, and includes nearly 1,600 brands, 36 industries and 80,000 consumers across 8 countries.

The insurance service result decreased by 7.2 per cent, driven by a higher underlying frequency loss ratio and increased operating expenses.
Insurance revenue increased by 5.2 per cent, mainly driven by price increases in motor, property and accident and health insurance. Despite necessary price increases in response to claims inflation, Gjensidige maintained its strong position in the market and the number of customers increased. The customer retention rate was largely stable compared with the same quarter last year. Sale of motor insurance was particularly strong in the first quarter, reflecting strong competitiveness and strengthened sales forces.
The loss ratio increased by 1.8 percentage points, driven by a higher underlying frequency loss ratio and a change in risk
adjustment. Run-off gains were significantly higher than in the same quarter last year. The underlying frequency loss ratio increased by 4.9 percentage points. Motor claims were the main driver of this development which was significantly impacted by difficult driving conditions caused by a long winter with many days of heavy snowfall and large fluctuations in temperature. Profitability for property insurance improved compared with the first quarter last year.
The cost ratio increased by 0.9 percentage points due to a strengthening of the sales force and higher IT expenses.

The insurance service result increased by 18.8 per cent, mainly driven by higher run-off gains, no large losses, an increase in insurance revenue, a lower cost ratio and depreciation of the Norwegian krone.
Insurance revenue increased by 13.3 per cent or 9.5 per cent measured in local currency and was driven by growth in the commercial and private portfolios. The revenue growth reflects both volume and price increases, particularly for commercial property and health insurance, as well as private motor and payment protection insurance. The number of customers was stable. The customer retention rate decreased slightly compared to the same quarter last year.
The loss ratio increased by 0.6 percentage points, driven by an increase in the underlying frequency loss ratio and a lower contribution from the change in risk adjustment. Run-off gains were higher and large losses lower than in the same quarter in 2022. The discounting effect also made a positive contribution, driven by the rise in interest rates. The underlying frequency loss ratio increased by 7.4 percentage points, driven by private property, commercial property and motor insurance, and health insurance in both segments.
The cost ratio decreased by 1.2 percentage points due to higher insurance revenue and improved cost efficiency.

The insurance service result was minus NOK 7.5 million (minus 43.7). The improvement was driven by a lower loss ratio and higher insurance revenues.
Insurance revenue increased by 17.2 per cent, or 5.9 per cent measured in local currency, with growth in all main insurance lines, except motor. The increase in insurance revenues was primarily driven by pricing measures for both portfolios. The significant price increases resulted in lower volumes, particularly for motor. The customer retention rate decreased compared to the same quarter last year, due to the price increases.
The loss ratio improved by 12.7 percentage points, driven by a lower underlying frequency loss ratio, higher run-off gains, a higher discounting effect as a result of the rise in interest rates and the change in risk adjustment. The underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 10.1 percentage points, due to increased prices and improved risk selection. Motor and property insurance in both the private and commercial segments, as well as commercial health insurance showed improved profitability. The cost ratio increased by 0.7 percentage points, driven by sales growth related commission expenses.

The profit before tax expense was minus NOK 8.5 million (150.2), driven by a negative insurance service result and net financial income.
Insurance revenue amounted to NOK 118.2 million (108.5) and the increase was driven by higher business volumes. Insurance claims expenses amounted to NOK 122.8 million (69.6) and were mainly impacted by the change in losses on onerous contracts. This must be seen in relation to the increase in the Contractual Service Margin (CSM) of NOK 52.9 million, which represents expected profit to be released in the future, upon expiry of the insurance contracts.
Insurance operating expenses amounted to NOK 30.5 million (26.5) and the increase was driven by a higher head count and business volumes.
Net investment income amounted to NOK 84.4 million (minus 316.6).

The Group's investment portfolio includes all financial investments in the Group, except for in the Pension segment. The investment portfolio is split into two parts: a match portfolio and a free portfolio, and all investments are measured at fair value. The match portfolio is intended to match the Group's technical provisions as measured in accordance with the solvency regulations. It is invested in fixed-income instruments that match the duration and currency of the technical provisions. The purpose of the free portfolio is to contribute to the Group's results. The investments are made in various asset classes, reflecting the Group's capitalisation, risk capacity and risk appetite.
Results from derivatives for tactical and risk management purposes are assigned to the respective asset classes. Currency exposure related to fixed-income investments is generally hedged 100 per cent, within a permitted range of +/- 10 per cent per currency. Currency risk related to equities can be hedged between 0 and 100 per cent.
At the end of the period, the investment portfolio totalled NOK 58.8 billion (60.7). The financial result for the quarter was NOK 794.1 million (minus 1 128.4), which corresponds to a return on total assets of 1.3 per cent (minus 1.8).
The result for the quarter was positively impacted by the rise in global equity markets, depreciation of the Norwegian krone, and lower credit spreads and interest rates, especially outside Norway. A high running yield contributed to good returns.

The match portfolio amounted to NOK 36.0 billion (36.4). The portfolio generated a return of 1.0 per cent (minus 2.4) for the quarter. The match portfolio's return for the quarter net of insurance finance (unwinding and change in financial assumptions) was 0.3 per cent (minus 1.2). The result mainly reflects higher running yield and lower credit spreads in the match portfolio. The remaining difference is mainly due to the investments not fully matching the

accounting based technical provisions. Securities without an official credit rating amounted to NOK 6.1 billion (8.1). Of these securities, 14.9 per cent (7.0) were issued by Norwegian savings banks, while the remainder were mostly issued by Norwegian power producers and distributors, property companies, industry and municipalities. Bonds with a coupon linked to the development of the Norwegian and Danish consumer price index accounted for 3.9 per cent (3.5) of the match portfolio.

The free portfolio amounted to NOK 22.8 billion (24.3) at the end of the quarter. The return was 1.8 per cent (minus 1.0), reflecting positive returns on most asset classes.
The fixed-income instruments in the free portfolio amounted to NOK 18.8 billion (18.8), of which fixed-income short duration investments accounted for NOK 8.1 billion (11.0). The rest of the portfolio was invested in Norwegian and international bonds (investment grade and high yield). The total return on fixedincome instruments in the free portfolio was 1.7 per cent in the quarter (minus 1.7).
At the end of the period, the average duration and yield in the portfolio were approximately 3.0 years (1.6) and 3.5 per cent respectively. Securities without an official credit rating amounted to NOK 3.3 billion (3.5). Of these securities, 9.8 per cent (6.0) were issued by Norwegian savings banks, while the remainder were mostly issued by corporates and municipalities.
The total equity holding at the end of the quarter was NOK 2.9 billion (5.1), of which NOK 1.7 billion (3.6) consisted of listed equities and NOK 1.2 billion (1.5) of private equity (PE) funds. The equity risk exposure was NOK 0.5 billion lower due to derivatives.
The return on listed equities was 6.3 per cent (minus 5.5). PE funds returned 0.5 per cent (10.9).
The Group had a total of 4,382 employees at the end of the first quarter, compared with 4,248 at the end of the fourth quarter.
The composition of the Group's employees was as follows: General insurance operations in Norway: 2,066 (2,004), in Denmark: 899 (860), in Sweden: 254 (247) and in the Baltics (excluding agents): 682 (683). Pension, Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring 110 (101) employees. Other than insurance: (14) 13 in Gjensidige Mobility Group, 312 (296) in RedGo (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Lithuania) and 45 (44) in Flyt. The figures in brackets refer to the number of employees at the end of the previous quarter.
No significant events have occurred after the end of the period.
Gjensidige's ambition is to become the most customer-oriented general insurance company in the Nordic region. The Group's priority is to retain its strong and unique position in Norway and profitable growth outside Norway. Furthermore, the Group will

focus on ensuring continued capital discipline, including delivering attractive returns to shareholders. A fundamental prerequisite for long term value creation is sustainable choices and solutions. The top three priorities are contributing to a safer society, sustainable claims handling and responsible investments.
The global economic prospects have deteriorated among otheras a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, fuelling uncertainty and adding to the inflationary pressure brought on by the pandemic. The risk of recession in many countries is high. The Nordic economies have rebounded after the pandemic and have a strong starting point from which to weather the current volatilities. Although there is higher uncertainty than normal, Gjensidige does not expect to see any significant spillover to its non-life operations from the current macroeconomic outlook.
Staying ahead of claims inflation is key to maintaining good profitability and it has high priority in Gjensidige. Claims inflation in recent years has been in line with the Group's forecasts. Gjensidige vigilantly monitors developments in the relevant markets and will continue to put through necessary price increases.
Due to a combination of increasing natural catastrophes globally, increased geopolitical uncertainty and years of low profitability in the reinsurance industry, we are seeing a significant increase in reinsurance premiums. Gjensidige is affected by this, but a reinsurance program focused on mitigating the effects of large claims and events, long-standing relationships with our reinsurers and a diversified panel of reinsurers reduces the overall risk to our profits. Furthermore, the recognised high quality of our underwriting and the comparatively low exposure to natural catastrophes in our region secures that Gjensidige is adequately protected against these claims and events.
Organic growth is expected to be in line with nominal GDP growth in Gjensidige's market areas in the Nordic and Baltic countries over time. In addition, profitable growth will be achieved by pursuing a disciplined acquisition strategy, as has been done successfully in the past.
In the next few years, it is expected that Gjensidige's business model and the type of market participants will broadly remain the same. Gjensidige has different positions and preconditions for further growth and development in the different segments and geographies. Best practices will be implemented across segments and borders where this is natural and expedient. Profitability will be prioritised over growth.
A key strategic priority in the next few years is maintaining and cultivating the direct customer relationship. Gjensidige aims to achieve greater relevance and create sales opportunities by offering customers a broader value proposition than ever before – in terms of both services and products, alone or in partnership with other providers. The goal is to become an even better and more relevant partner for customers – a problem-solver with a stronger focus on damage prevention – thereby further strengthening the customer relationship.
The Group's annual financial and solvency targets from 2023 are as follows:
These are financial targets and should not be regarded as guidance for any specific quarter or year. Unexpected circumstances relating to the weather, the proportion of large losses and run-off gains or losses could contribute to a combined ratio that is above or below the annual target range.
Continued investments in technology and data are key to reducing costs and achieving enhanced functionality and flexibility. This is necessary to enable more flexible partner integration and product modularity. The launch of nextgeneration tariffs, CRM and investments in a new core system and IT infrastructure are important to succeed in becoming an analytics-driven company. This will result in better customer experiences and more efficient operations and create sufficient capacity for innovation. Gjensidige has launched its new core IT system in Private Denmark and will gradually implement it in other parts of the Danish operations and other geographies. The investment is expected to be handled within the current cost ratio target.
The Group has high capital buffers in relation to internal risk models, statutory solvency requirements and its target rating. The Board considers the Group's capital situation and financial position to be strong.
There is always considerable uncertainty associated with the assessment of future developments. However, the Board remains confident in Gjensidige's ability to deliver solid earnings and dividend growth over time.

The consolidated financial statements as of the first quarter 2023, concluded on 31 March 2023, comprise Gjensidige Forsikring ASA and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) and the Group's holdings in associated companies.
The consolidated financial statements as of the first quarter 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IFRS and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim report does not include all the information required in a complete annual report and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for 2022. Except for the changes described below, the accounting policies applied in the interim report are the same as those used in the annual report for 2022.
The preparation of interim accounts involves the application of assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the use of accounting policies and the amounts recognised for assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The most material assessments involved in applying the Group's accounting policies and the most important sources of uncertainty in the estimates are the same in connection with preparing the interim report as in the annual report for 2022.
In this interim report, Gjensidige has applied IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments for the first time. Gjensidige has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The accounting policies regarding IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 are described in note 4 and 5 respectively.
Comparable figures are based on IFRS. All amounts are shown in NOK millions unless otherwise indicated. Due to the roundingoff of differences, figures and percentages may not add up to the exact total figures.
Notes are presented on the Group level. Separate notes for Gjensidige Forsikring ASA (GF ASA) are not presented since GF ASA is the material part of the Group, and the notes for the Group therefore give a sufficient presentation of both the Group and GF ASA.
A complete or limited audit of the interim report has not been carried out.
Seasonal premiums are used for some insurance products. This is because the incidence of claims is not evenly distributed throughout the year but follows a stable seasonal pattern. Normally, premium income (earned premiums) is accrued evenly over the insurance period, but for products with a seasonal pattern, premium income must also be allocated according to the incidence of claims. Gjensidige Forsikring has a seasonal premium for the following products: pleasure craft, snowmobiles and motorcycles. For motorcycles, for example, earned premiums for the period from April to September amount to a full 85 per cent of the annual premiums.
Another consequence of a seasonal premium is that, if the customer cancels the insurance contract before the renewal date, only the portion of the seasonal premium for which the Company did not bear any risk is refunded. For motorcycle insurance taken out on 1 April, but cancelled on 1 October, the policyholder will only be refunded 15 per cent of the annual premium, even though the insurance was only in effect for six months.
The group has six reportable segments. These offer different products and services within different geographical areas. The Group's reportable segments are identified based on the Group's internal reporting. The Group CEO holds regular meetings with the reporting managers for the different segments, about performance management, where focus is on future measures to ensure performance and deliveries.
General insurance is the Group's core activity. General insurance is divided into five segments, mainly based on the customer's geographical location. Pension delivers products and services to customers in Norway.

IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of issued insurance contracts, and is effective from 1 January 2023. Comparable figures have been restated. The figures presented are indicative and may be altered in the audited financial statement for 2023.
On initial recognition, insurance contracts will be recognised at a risk-adjusted present value of the future cash flows plus an amount representing the unearned profit in the Group of contracts (the contractual service margin). This is referred to as the building block approach (BBA) model. If a group of contracts is or becomes loss-making, the loss will be recognised immediately. The onerous test is performed at a granular level, ensuring that the group of contracts is homogenous and that profit-making contracts are not subsidising loss-making contracts. For profit-making contracts, the earnings are based on accrued services.
An entity may simplify the measurement by using the premium allocation approach (PAA) if the entity expects such simplification to produce a measurement of the liability for remaining coverage that will not differ materially from the measurement that would be produced by applying the BBA model described above, or if the coverage period of each contract in the Group is one year or less.
Liabilities for insurance contracts consist of liability for remaining coverage (LRC) and liability for incurred claims (LIC). LRC represents liabilities for remaining coverage, while LIC represents liabilities for claims that have already been incurred.
Assets for reinsurance contracts consist of the asset for remaining coverage (ARC) and the asset for incurred claims (AIC) (reinsurers' share of claims that have already been incurred).
Reinsurance is presented separately from gross insurance.
Insurance finance income or expense are presented in profit or loss.
The insurance liabilities under IFRS 17 should be based on the expected cash flows, and excess reserves beyond what is expected cannot be part of the best estimate. Gjensidige has recognised excess reserves in 2022 that are not in accordance with IFRS 17. This amount is therefore adjusted for in the preliminary opening balance as at 1 January 2022.
Gjensidige has comprehensive insurance policies within different products and segments. To determine the right level of aggregation, the following elements are taken into consideration:
All insurance contracts are written according to an approved tariff or by underwriting. All premiums are set so that there is an expected profit, and no contracts are expected to be onerous at initial recognition. The actual outcome will be different for some contracts, but Gjensidige will supervise the actual outcome very closely for all contracts and if necessary, change the premium in order not to allow any contract to become onerous over time.
Since the premium are paid in advance, within the insurance period of normally one year, the measurement of a group of insurance contracts with respect of checking for onerous contracts, are done by looking into the expected combined ratio, adjusted for risk adjustment and eventually for discontinued loss provision (time value of money).
Consequently, Gjensidige will for each portfolio have groups with contracts with either no significant possibility of becoming
onerous or contracts that are onerous at initial recognition. The profitable and onerous contracts will be divided into groups based on the year the contract has been issued.
For the general insurance contracts, Gjensidige has decided to use PAA. Most of Gjensidige's contracts have a coverage period of one year or less. For the contracts where the coverage period is more than one year, Gjensidige has calculated that the LRC will not differ materially from the liability that would be arrived at by applying the general measurement model called the building block approach (BBA), and it will therefore also use PAA for those contracts.
Applying the PAA model, Gjensidige will measure the carrying amount of the LRC on initial recognition as the premiums received upon initial recognition.
At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the carrying amount of the LRC is the carrying amount at the start of the period plus the premiums received during the period, minus the amount recognised as insurance revenue for services provided in that period. LRC corresponds to the provision for unearned premium deducted by premium receivables
At the end of each subsequent reporting period, the carrying amount of the LIC, comprising the fulfilment cash flows related to past services, is measured according to best estimate of future payments for incurred claims and claims expenses. Future payments are based on historical payment pattern.
When measuring the operating expenses, indirect costs should not be included in the fulfilment cash flow. In Gjensidige, costs related to the training of newly hired personnel in sales and distribution and certain costs related to new products are indirect and will be classified as other expenses as opposed to operating expenses. Further, Gjensidige has chosen to expense the acquisition costs directly when applying the PAA, as has been done under IFRS 4.
A major part of the LIC stems from long-tailed business with a duration of more than one year, and Gjensidige has therefore decided to discount LIC for all products. Swap rates, which are a well-known market-based yield curve, are used for the respective currencies. The swap rates have a duration of up to 30 years and are a fairly good hedge for the investments. The swap rate fulfils the bottom-up requirement in IFRS 17 and is considered to be risk-free.
LRC could also be discounted to reflect the time value of money. This adjustment is not mandatory under PAA. For LRC, most of the premiums are received in the same year as coverage is provided. In addition, a substantial part of the premium is paid monthly or quarterly. Hence, the financial component of LRC is very limited, and discounting are therefore not be performed.
The risk adjustment (RA) represents the compensation an entity requires for bearing the uncertainty about the amount and timing of the cash flows that arises from non-financial risk as the entity fulfils insurance contracts. The percentile approach is chosen and risk adjustment for each legal entity within the Group is chosen to represent a confidence level of 85 per cent for the ultimate probability distribution for the claim's provisions.
The confidence level of 85 per cent is aligned with Gjensidige's cost of capital until final run-off of the claim's provisions. Ultimate risk is chosen because the accounting balance shows the liabilities as estimated until final run-off.
For Gjensidige Forsikring ASA, the Partial internal model (PIM) with own calibration is used to determine the risk adjustment.
The percentile can be derived from the probability distribution for reserve risk.
Insurance companies in the Group, other than Gjensidige Forsikring ASA, develop their own models, based on the Solvency II risk margin, to determine the RA. The calculation of RA is adjusted to comply with the Group principle of a confidence level of 85 per cent and based on ultimate risk.
The confidence level of 85 per cent until final run-off corresponds to a level of 95 per cent for one-year risk.
Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are not disaggregated into an insurance service component and an insurance finance component.
The retrospective approach has been used for all general insurance contracts, starting from recognition of contracts.
Gjensidige has three main product groups within the scope of IFRS 17; paid-up policies, occupational pension and individual risk products. Paid-up policies consist of six portfolios, similar to the asset portfolio in which they are managed. Each of the portfolios represents different investment strategies and asset allocation, with the purpose of matching the financial risk and size of the portfolios to the guarantees one the liability side. The risk element of the occupational pension consists of a deposit exemption that are obligatory in the contracts, in addition to other risk products, where disability is the main part. Individual risk products consist of disability pension and children's disability pension.
The choice of aggregation level is based on homogeneous product groups, that are reported to the Board. Hence, management of the products and management of the risk and administration result has been decisive for the final division into portfolios. The portfolios are:
The onerous test for choice of grouping is done on each contract at initial recognition. The test compares the premium received and the fulfilment cash flows. The contracts are divided into one of the following groups:
The onerous test is only performed at initial recognition. The loss component is reconsidered, but the contracts remain in the original group.
Gjensidige has classified all pensions contracts as fulfilling the requirements for the use of the BBA.
The paid-up policies have a guaranteed rate of return, and it is assessed whether the contracts fall under the definition of the Variable Fee Approach (VFA). To qualify for measurement under the VFA, Gjensidige must expect to pay the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the fair value returns on the underlying items and a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts paid to the policyholder will vary with the change in fair value of the underlying item. These conditions are not met, and the paid-up policies will therefore be measured based on the BBA.
On initial recognition, the LRC for a group of contracts will be measured as the total of:
Gjensidige has decided to use the EIOPA interest rate curve without volatility adjustments. The EIOPA interest rate fulfils the bottom-up requirement in IFRS 17 and is considered to be riskfree. The pension contracts' liabilities are mainly long-term pensions, and the EIOPA curve is based on an extrapolation method that also produces very long-term interest rates.
Gjensidige has developed its own model for calculation of the risk adjustment using the BBA model. The model is based on the models for cash flows, taking into consideration the uncertainty in timing and size of the cash flows. The model is a percentile approach (confidence level of 85 per cent), for ultimate risk. Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are not disaggregated into an insurance service component and an insurance finance component.
The CSM is a component of the carrying amount of the asset or liability for a group of insurance contracts representing the unearned profit the entity expects to recognise as the insurance contract services are provided.
The modified retrospective approach has been used for all pension contracts, starting from 31 December 2016.
The risk adjustment for the Group is the sum of risk adjustments for each legal entity, less risk adjustment on internal reinsurance. As there is a diversification effect between the entities the percentile level of the risk adjustment at Group level will be somewhat higher for ultimate risk and one-year risk.

IFRS 9 addresses accounting for financial instruments and is effective from 1 January 2023. Comparable figures have been restated. The figures presented are indicative and may be altered in the audited financial statement for 2023.
The purpose of the Group's investments is to support the insurance business by securing the value of insurance liabilities against fluctuations in market variables. Funds beyond this will be invested to achieve the Group's overall profitability goals. Investments for general insurance and life insurance are managed separately. The investment portfolio for general insurance is split into two parts: a match portfolio and a free portfolio.
The classification of financial instruments at initial recognition depends on their contractual terms and the business model for managing the instruments.
Equity instruments and derivatives do not pass the SPPI (solely payment of principal and interest) are classified at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Debt instruments are classified based on the business model and on the cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
The match portfolio in General Insurance is intended to correspond to the cash flows from the underwriting business. It is invested in debt instruments with a duration and currency that matches the duration and currency of the cash flows for the underwriting business. A major part of the investments would pass the SPPI-test and could be accounted for according to amortised cost. However, Gjensidige has chosen to use the fair value through profit or loss option to reduce the accounting mismatch between investments and insurance liabilities.
The free portfolio consists of various assets, which are managed based on fair value and Gjensidige's risk appetite. Hence, the financial assets do not satisfy the condition to collect cash flows and will therefore be classified as fair value through profit or loss.
The financial assets in Pension's group policy portfolios are intended to correspond to the cash flows from the underwriting business, with debt instruments with a duration and currency that matches the duration and currency of the cash flows for the underwriting business. A major part of the investments would
pass the SPPI-test and could be accounted for according to amortised cost. However, Gjensidige has chosen to use the fair value through profit or loss option to reduce the accounting mismatch between investments and insurance liabilities. The financial assets in the unit-linked and corporate portfolio are measured at FVTPL.
Financial liabilities are measured at either fair value through profit or loss (derivatives) or at amortised cost (subordinated loans).
Financial instruments are recognised when Gjensidige becomes a party to the instrument's contractual terms. Initial recognition is at fair value. Except for financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at FVTPL, transaction expenses are added to this amount. For financial assets and liabilities measured at FVTPL transaction expenses are recognised in profit or loss when they incur. Normally initial recognition will be equal to the transaction price. Subsequent to initial recognition the instruments are measured as described below.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when Gjensidige transfers the financial asset in a transaction where all or practically all the risk and rewards related to ownership of the assets are transferred.
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, in the accounting line Net changes in fair value of investments (incl. property).
The category at fair value through profit or loss comprise the classes shares and similar interests, bonds and other fixedincome securities, loans and receivables, assets in life insurance with investment options, other assets and receivables, cash and cash equivalents, liabilities in life insurance with investment options and other financial assets.
Financial derivatives are used in the management of exposure to equities, bonds and foreign exchange in order to achieve the desired level of risk and return. The instruments are used both for trading purposes and for hedging of other balance sheet items. Any trading of financial derivatives is subject to strict limitations.
Gjensidige uses financial derivatives, amongst other to hedge foreign currency exchanges arising from the ownership of foreign subsidiaries with other functional currency.
Financial derivatives are measured at fair value at the reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. When the time horizon of the financial liability's due time is quite near in time the nominal interest rate is used when measuring amortised cost.
The category financial liabilities at amortised cost comprises subordinated debt.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at the amount each asset/liability can be settled at in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, based on the prevailing market conditions.
Different valuation techniques and methods are used to estimate fair value depending on the type of financial instruments and to what extent they are traded in active markets. Instruments are classified in their entirety in one of three valuation levels in a hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The different valuation levels and which financial assets/liabilities are included in the respective levels are accounted for below.
Quoted prices in active markets are regarded as the best estimate of an asset/liability's fair value. A financial asset/liability is considered to be valued based on quoted prices in active markets if its fair value is estimated based on easily and regularly available prices and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring transactions based on the arm's length principle. Financial assets/liabilities valued based on quoted prices in active markets are classified as level one in the valuation hierarchy.
The following financial assets are classified as level one in the valuation hierarchy
When quoted prices in active markets are not available, the fair value of financial assets/liabilities is preferably estimated based on valuation techniques that are based on observable market data.
A financial asset/liability is deemed to be valued based on observable market data if its fair value is estimated with reference to prices that are not quoted but are observable either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices). Financial assets/liabilities valued based on observable market data are classified as level two in the valuation hierarchy.
The following financial assets/liabilities are classified as level two in the valuation hierarchy
Valuation based on non-observable market data When neither quoted prices in active markets nor observable market data are available, the fair value of financial assets/liabilities is estimated based on valuation techniques that are based on non-observable market data.
A financial asset/liability is deemed to be valued based on nonobservable market data if its fair value is estimated without being based on quoted prices in active markets or observable market data. Financial assets/liabilities valued based on non-observable market data are classified as level three in the valuation hierarchy.
The following financial assets are classified as level three in the valuation hierarchy
The Investment Performance and Risk Measurement department decides which valuation models will be used when valuing financial assets classified as level three in the valuation hierarchy. The models are evaluated as required. The fair value and results of the investments and compliance with the stipulated limits are reported weekly to the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Executive Officer, and monthly to the Board.
Shares and similar interests (mainly unlisted private equity investments, loan funds and distressed/hedge funds), as well as bonds and other fixed-income securities are included in level three in the valuation hierarchy. General market downturns or a worsening of the outlook can affect expectations of future cash flows or the applied multiples, which in turn will lead to a reduction in the value of shares and similar interests. Bonds and other fixed-income securities primarily have interest rate and credit risk as a result of changes in the yield curve or losses due to unexpected defaults on the part of Gjensidige's debtors. However, the sensitivity to changes in the yield curve is reduced through hedging using interest rate swaps classified as level 2.

As part of its ongoing financial management Gjensidige has committed, but not paid up to NOK 1,681.1 million (2,014.2) in loan funds containing secured debt and various private equity and real estate funds, over and above the amounts recognised in the balance sheet.
The timing of the outflow of capital is dependent on when the funds make capital calls from their investors. The average remaining operating time for the funds, based on fair value, is slightly less than three years (four) and slightly less than four years (five) on average including an extension option.
Gjensidige Forsikring is liable externally for any insurance claim arising in the cooperating mutual fire insurers' fire insurance operations.

The Group is involved in disputes of various kinds. There is often uncertainty associated with litigation. Nevertheless, based on available information, the Group is of the opinion that the cases will be resolved without significant negative impact, neither individually nor collectively, on the Group's result or liquidity. For disputes where the Group considers that there is a more than 50 per cent probability that a financial obligation will arise, provisions have been made based on the best estimate.
In 2022, a case involving Gjensidige in Sweden was appealed to the Supreme Court, which will decide whether there is coverage under the epidemic interruption insurance in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic. Gjensidige has previously won in two lower courts. A loss could involve a significant pay-out, but Gjensidige considers this less likely.
