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 Baltics 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 292.3 million (234.8) for the year to date and NOK 49.3 (43.5) in the quarter. Accounting items related to reinsurance are also included.
2 Defined as an alternative performance measure (APM). APMs are described at www.gjensidige.no/reporting in a document named APMs Gjensidige Forsikring Group Q3 2022.
3 Large losses = loss events in excess of NOK 10.0 million. Expected large losses for the quarter were NOK 366.0 million.
4 Underlying frequency loss ratio = claims incurred etc. excluding large losses and run-off gains/(losses) divided by earned premiums
5 Solvency ratio = Ratio of total eligible own funds to meet the SCR over the Solvency Capital Requirement
Strong operations, effective pricing measures, good risk selection and stringent cost control resulted in the highest quarterly underwriting result in the Group's history, when adjusted for the extra run-off gains in 2018. The investment portfolio was significantly hit by the development in the financial markets. The outlook for Gjensidige's underwriting results remains good.
Gjensidige Forsikring Group recorded a profit before tax expense of NOK 1,485.5 million (2,022.0) for the quarter.
The income tax expense amounted to NOK 380.5 million (526.9), resulting in an effective tax rate of 25.6 per cent (26.1). 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 1,105.0 million (1,495.1) and the corresponding earnings per share were NOK 2.21 (2.99).
The profit from general insurance operations measured by the underwriting result was NOK 1,908.8 million (1,804.0), corresponding to a combined ratio of 76.3 (76.0).
Earned premiums from general insurance increased by 7.1 per cent to NOK 8,046.8 million (7,516.1) in the quarter. Measured in local currency, premiums increased by 8.2 per cent. Earned premiums increased due to solid renewals, effective and differentiated pricing measures and volume growth.
Premium growth, partly offset by higher large losses and lower run-off gains, drove the improvement in the underwriting result. The Covid-19 pandemic did not impact the result in the third quarter.
The underlying frequency loss ratio was unchanged compared with the same quarter in 2021. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in the third quarter 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 0.8 percentage points. Commercial and the Baltics were the main contributors to the improvement.
Earned premiums in the Private segment increased by 6.6 per cent. The underwriting result was broadly stable, with the increase in earned premiums being offset by a higher loss ratio.
Earned premiums in the Commercial segment increased by 10.3 per cent, which together with an improvement in the loss ratio resulted in a higher underwriting result.
Earned premiums in the Danish segment increased by 5.4 per cent measured in local currency. The underwriting result decreased, mainly driven by a higher loss ratio.
Earned premiums in the Swedish segment were up 9.2 per cent measured in local currency. The underwriting result decreased, driven by a higher loss ratio.
Earned premiums in the Baltic segment increased by 6.7 per cent measured in local currency. The underwriting result improved, primarily due to an improved loss ratio.
The Pension segment generated a lower profit for the period, driven by reduced income as a result of the introduction of individual pension account last year and lower financial income.
The financial result for the quarter was minus NOK 328.1 million (207.5), which corresponds to a return on total assets of minus 0.6 per cent (0.3). The result was negatively impacted by higher interest rates, decline in the equity markets and higher credit spreads.
The Group recorded a profit before tax expense of NOK 4,129.7 million (5,949.3) for the period. The profit from general insurance operations measured by the underwriting result was NOK 4,681.5 million (4,370.9), corresponding to a combined ratio of 80.0 (79.8).
The profit after tax expense was NOK 3,234.3 million (4,654.7). Earnings per share amounted to NOK 6.47 (9.31). The profit includes a NOK 0.8 billion gain on the sale of Oslo Areal in the first quarter, recorded under Other items.
The increase in the underwriting result was driven by 8.0 per cent growth in earned premiums and an improved underlying frequency loss ratio, partly offset by higher large losses and lower run-off gains. Earned premiums rose by 8.9 per cent measured in local currency. Adjusted for the effects of the weather and Covid-19 claims in the same period last year, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 0.8 percentage points.
The Pension segment recorded a lower profit due to reduced income as a result of the introduction of individual pension accounts last year, higher operating expenses and lower financial income.
The financial result for the period was minus NOK 1,211.0 million (1,565.7), which corresponds to a return on total assets of minus 2.1 per cent (2.6). The rise in interest rates in 2022, combined with an increase in credit spreads, has had a negative impact on fixed-income investments. Due to the rise in interest rates, other asset classes also generated negative returns.
The Group's equity amounted to NOK 25,002.9 million (25,015.4) at the end of the period. The annualised return on equity for the year-to-date was 18.4 per cent (26.9). 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 towards 2025. Customer satisfaction for the Group and retention in Norway remain high, while retention in Denmark and the Baltics is somewhat down. The digitalisation and automation metrics have increased during the quarter.
| Metric | Status Q3 2022 |
Target 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Customer satisfaction | 79 | >78, Group |
| 90% | >90%, Norway | |
| Customer retention | 77% | >85%, outside Norway |
| Digitalisation index | 10% | > +10% annually, Group |
| Digital claims reporting | 77% | > 85%, Group |
| Automated claims processing |
58% | > 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 2021. A few examples of the most recent results and operational initiatives are listed below:
Gjensidige's first product to fully comply with EU taxonomy criteria - commercial building insurance – has been launched. Among other things, the product includes a discount on the premium related to water damage if the insured building has BREEAM or BREEAM-in-Use certification.
Together with Det Norske Veritas (DNV), Gjensidige has launched a new digital tool to evaluate companies' cyber security systems and identify necessary measures to withstand the most urgent and significant cyber threats.
Child insurance coverage has been extended to include psychological assistance for children aged between 12 and 16, and for parents of children up to 16 years. The assistance includes conversation therapy, family counselling and parental guidance.
Have entered into a co-operation agreement with StartupLab and launched pilot programmes to promote the reuse of building materials.
Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring has added a new investment profile option for customers. It focuses on sustainable investments. With this profile, customers will only invest in funds that comply with the requirements of Art. 9 of the EU SFDR regulation.
Gjensidige has recently signed the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), thereby committing to the global corporate climate action and contributing substantially to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and to fulfilling the goals of the Paris Agreement.
Gjensidige has been given a top ranking among Norwegian companies in PWC Norway's 2022 Climate Index.
Developments in EU regulations relating to sustainability, particularly the EU taxonomy, are continuously monitored. Preparations are being made to report according to the taxonomy from 2022. Gjensidige has started transforming insurance products to achieve a leading position within sustainable insurance that is in line with the EU taxonomy.
Gjensidige's transition to the new reporting standards IFRS 17 Insurance contracts and IFRS 9 Financial instruments will be presented in a webinar in November 2022.
The underwriting result was broadly stable, with the increase in earned premiums being offset by a higher loss ratio.
Earned premiums increased by 6.6 per cent, mainly driven by price increases for motor, property and accident and health insurance, as well as higher volumes for motor and travel insurance. Travel insurance premiums are now beyond prepandemic levels, driven by an increase in volume. Gjensidige maintained its strong position in the market. Competitiveness remained good and the number of customers increased.
The loss ratio increased by 2.4 percentage points, driven by a 1.2 percentage point increase in the underlying frequency loss ratio, higher large losses and lower run-off gains. The underlying frequency loss ratio, adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in the third quarter 2021, was stable.
The cost ratio decreased by 0.5 percentage points.
The underwriting result increased by 3.6 per cent, mainly driven by higher earned premiums and lower large losses, partly offset by lower run-off gains.
Earned premiums increased by 6.6 per cent, mainly driven by price increases for motor, property and accident and health insurance, as well as higher volumes for motor and travel insurance. Travel insurance premiums are now beyond prepandemic levels. The customer retention rate was stable.

The underwriting result decreased by 38.0 per cent, or by 34.3 per cent measured in local currency, driven by a higher underlying frequency loss ratio and lower run-off gains, partly offset by lower large losses and higher earned premiums.
Earned premiums increased by 2.0 per cent, or 9.2 per cent measured in local currency, driven by volume growth in both the private and commercial portfolio, slightly offset by termination of a large, unprofitable commercial property contract during the first quarter. The premium growth was driven by commercial property and motor in both segments.
The loss ratio increased by 9.2 percentage points, due to a 10.4 percentage point increase in the underlying frequency loss ratio and lower run-off gains. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in the third quarter of 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio increased by 9.7 percentage points, driven by property insurance in both segments and motor insurance in the private portfolio. Commercial motor insurance showed a slightly improved profitability.
The cost ratio improved by 1.4 percentage points, as a result of a continued focus on cost efficiency and higher earned premiums.
The underwriting result decreased by 12.3 per cent, or by 7.0 per cent measured in local currency. The decrease in the underwriting result was driven by lower run-off gains, partly offset by higher earned premiums and lower large losses.
Earned premiums increased by 2.3 per cent, or by 8.3 per cent measured in local currency, mainly driven by volume growth in the commercial portfolio, slightly offset by termination of a larger unprofitable commercial property contract during the first quarter and termination of a partner agreement in the private portfolio in the third quarter last year. The premium growth was mainly driven by commercial property and motor in both segments, slightly offset by a decrease in payment protection insurance.
Customer retention increased by 2.5 percentage points, with improvement in both the private and the commercial portfolios, driven by successful efforts to strengthen customer satisfaction through sales-, service- and claims processes.
The loss ratio increased by 2.5 percentage points, due to lower run-off gains. The underlying frequency loss ratio was stable. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 0.7 percentage points, driven by the property and motor insurance lines in both segments, slightly offset by lower profitability for health and payment protection insurance.

The underwriting result was minus NOK 1.8 million (minus 26.0). The improvement was primarily due to an improved loss ratio.
Earned premiums increased by 3.9 per cent, or 6.7 per cent measured in local currency, with growth in most insurance lines, except for motor due to sharp price increases. The increase in premiums was primarily driven by pricing measures, particularly for motor. Travel insurance volumes increased significantly compared with the same period last year, taking earned premiums above pre-pandemic levels. High price increases led to lower volumes, resulting in slightly higher written premiums.
The loss ratio improved by 6.9 percentage points, driven by a 14.0 percentage point decrease in the underlying frequency loss ratio, partly offset by run-off losses. The improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio was mainly driven by the motor and property insurance lines in both portfolios.
The cost ratio decreased by 1.1 per cent, driven by higher earned premiums and a continued focus on cost efficiency.
The underwriting result was minus NOK 60.6 million (minus 40.1). The decrease was due to lower run-off gains.
Earned premiums increased by 8.8 per cent, or by 11.1 per cent measured in local currency, with growth in the most insurance lines, particularly for motor and property. Premium development was both price and volume driven. Travel insurance volumes increased significantly compared with the same period last year and were back to pre-pandemic levels. The customer retention rate decreased as a result of the implementation of higher prices.
The loss ratio increased by 2.8 percentage point, driven by lower run-off gains. The underlying loss ratio improved by 0.5 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio decreased by 1.1 percentage points, mainly driven by improved profitability in the motor and property insurance lines in both portfolios.
The cost ratio decreased by 1.0 per cent, driven by higher earned premiums and a continued focus on cost efficiency.

The Group's investment portfolio includes all investment funds in the Group, except for investment funds in the Pension segment. The investment portfolio is split into two parts: a match portfolio and a free portfolio. The match portfolio is intended to correspond to the Group's technical provisions. It is invested in fixed-income instruments that match the duration and currency of the technical provisions. The free portfolio consists of various assets. The allocation of assets in this portfolio must be seen in conjunction with the Group's capitalisation and risk capacity, as well as the Group's risk appetite at all times. Results from the use of 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 58.0 billion (60.7). The financial result for the quarter was minus NOK 328.1 million (207.5), which corresponds to a return on total assets of minus 0.6 per cent (0.3).
The result for the quarter was negatively impacted by higher interest rates, decline in the equity markets and higher credit spreads.

The free portfolio amounted to NOK 19.8 billion (23.9) at the end of the quarter. The return was minus 1.2 per cent (0.0), reflecting weak returns on all asset classes except fixed-income instruments with a short duration and PE funds.
The fixed-income instruments in the free portfolio amounted to NOK 15.0 billion (13.8), of which fixed income – short duration investments accounted for NOK 8.1 billion (7.3). The rest of the portfolio was invested in Norwegian government bonds and international bonds (investment grade, high yield and convertible bonds). The total return on fixed-income instruments in the free portfolio was minus 1.5 per cent in the quarter (0.2).
At the end of the period, the average duration in the portfolio was approximately 3.1 years (2.2). The distribution of counterparty risk and credit rating is shown in the charts on this page. Securities without an official credit rating amounted to NOK 3.3 billion (3.7). Of these securities, 15.9 per cent (10.7) were issued by Norwegian savings banks, while the remainder were mostly issued by corporates and municipalities. The geographical distribution4 of the fixed-income instruments in the free portfolio is shown in the chart on the previous page.
The total equity holding at the end of the quarter was NOK 4.2 billion (4.5), of which NOK 2.8 billion (3.1) consisted of current equities and NOK 1.4 billion (1.4) of PE funds. The equity risk exposure was NOK 1.2 billion lower due to derivatives.
The return on current equities was minus 2.8 per cent (minus 2.3). PE funds returned 5.2 per cent (2.1).
At the end of the quarter, the exposure to real estate in the portfolio was NOK 34.4 million (4.8 billion). The property portfolio had a return of 2.1 per cent (1.2) for the quarter.
The rise in interest rates in 2022 combined with an increase in credit spreads has had a negative impact on fixed-income investments. Due to the rise in interest rates, other asset classes also generated negative returns. Commodities, Private Equity, bonds valued at amortised cost and fixed income investments with short duration were the only asset classes with positive returns in the investment portfolio during the period.
The financial result for the period was minus NOK1,211.0 million (1,565.7), which corresponds to a return on total assets of minus 2.1 per cent (2.6). Oslo Areal was sold during the fourth quarter 2021. The transaction was closed in January 2022. A gain of NOK 0.8 billion was recorded under Other items in the first quarter 2022.
4 The geographical distribution is related to issuers and does not reflect actual currency exposure.
The Group had a total of 4,153 employees at the end of the third quarter, compared with 4,143 at the end of the second quarter.
The composition of the Group's employees was as follows: General insurance operations in Norway: 1,962 (1,966), in Denmark: 841 (836), in Sweden: 243 (232) and in the Baltics (excluding agents): 671 (676). Pension, Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring 100 (102) employees. Other than insurance: 7 in Gjensidige Mobility Group, 283 (282) in Falck (Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Lithuania) and 46 (46) in Flyt. The figures in brackets refer to the number of employees at the end of the second 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 to continue improving its profitability 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 as 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 rising. 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.
Gjensidige is not directly impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Group has no direct risk exposure in these countries and investments in Russian and Ukrainian assets are minimal. Gjensidige has a robust investment strategy, but the investment portfolio is of course exposed to the ongoing volatility in the global capital markets.
Staying ahead of claims inflation is key to maintaining good profitability and has high priority in Gjensidige. Claims inflation experienced during the third quarter was in line with expectations. Supply disruptions, amplified by the war in Ukraine, have put further pressure on prices. Gjensidige is vigilantly monitoring developments in the relevant markets for signs that inflation might increase beyond the current expectation. Gjensidige will continue to put through necessary price increases in response.
The Group's annual financial and solvency targets through 2025 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.
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. At the Group level, near-term growth is expected to be higher. 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 stay 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.
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 in order 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 for 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 earningsand dividend growth over time.

The consolidated financial statements as of the third quarter of 2022, concluded on 30 September 2022, comprise Gjensidige Forsikring ASA and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Group) and the Group's holdings in associated companies. Except for the changes described below, the accounting policies applied in the interim report is the same as those used in the annual report for 2021.
The consolidated financial statements as of the third quarter of 2022 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 2021.
A number of new standards, changes to standards and interpretations have been issued for financial years beginning after 1 January 2022. They have not been applied when preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those that may be relevant to Gjensidige are mentioned below. Gjensidige does not plan early implementation of these standards.
IFRS 9 addresses the accounting for financial instruments and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The standard introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, including a new expected loss model for the recognition of impairment losses, and changed requirements for hedge accounting.
IFRS 9 contains three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income, and fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets will be classified either at amortised cost, at fair value through other comprehensive income, or at fair value through profit or loss, depending on how they are managed and which contractual cash flow properties they have. IFRS 9 introduces a new requirement regarding financial liabilities earmarked at fair value where changes in fair value that can be attributed to the liabilities' credit risk are presented in other comprehensive income rather than over profit or loss.
Preliminary assessments indicate that the financial assets will be measured according to fair value through profit or loss. Surplus/ deficit values in portfolios measured at amortised cost will have a positive/negative effect on the opening balance when implementing IFRS 9.
Amendments to IFRS 4 Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts (2016) The amendments to IFRS 4 permit entities that predominantly undertake insurance activities the option to defer the effective date of IFRS 9 until 1 January 2023. The effect of such a deferral is that the entities concerned may continue to report under the existing standard, IAS 39 Financial Instruments. In addition, the insurance sector of a financial conglomerate is allowed to defer the application of IFRS 9 until 1 January 2023, where all of the following conditions are met:
• no financial instruments are transferred between the insurance sector and any other sector of the financial conglomerate other than financial instruments that are measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised through the profit of loss account by both sectors involved in such transfers;
Gjensidige is a financial conglomerate which primarily operates insurance business and has therefore decided to make use of this exception. The IFRS 9 will be effective 1 January 2023, at the same date as IFRS 17.
IFRS 17 establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts issued. IFRS 17 is a complex standard that includes some fundamental differences to current accounting for liability measurement and profit 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). If a group of contracts is or become loss-making, the loss will be recognised immediately. Insurance revenue, insurance service expenses and insurance finance income or expenses will be presented separately. IFRS 17 is effective from 1 January 2023.
Preliminary assessments indicate that implementing discounted insurance liabilities, risk-adjustment and contractual service margin will lead to a material effect in the opening balance. Further, the results in the non-life insurance business will not be significantly affected by the new measurement method, in contrast to the results in the life insurance business where significant effects are expected. Excess reserves released in 2022 will be restated in the comparable figures.
Based on our preliminary assessments and based on Gjensidige's current operations, other amendments to standards and interpretation statements will not have a significant effect.
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 regarding preparing the interim report as in the annual report for 2021.
Comparable figures are based on IFRS. All amounts are shown in NOK millions unless otherwise indicated. Due to rounding-off differences, figures and percentages may not exactly add up to the exact total figures.
Notes are presented on a Group level. Separate notes for Gjensidige Forsikring ASA (GF ASA) are not presented as GF ASA is the material part of the Group and therefore the notes for the Group 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.
For some insurance products, seasonal premiums are used. 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 period of insurance, 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 example, for motorcycles, 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 is refunded for which the Company did not bear any risk. 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 in effect only for six months.
The group has six reportable segments, as described below, which offers 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 its reporting managers for the different segments, concerning performance management, which focuses 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 placement. Other operational segments deliver products and services mainly to customers in Norway.

The claims provisions shall cover future claims payments. The claims provisions for insurances with annuity payments are converted to present value (discounted), whereas other provisions are undiscounted.
The reason why the claims provisions for annuities are discounted is due to very long cash flows and substantial future interest income. The claims for workers' compensation in Denmark are paid either as annuities or as lump-sum indemnities (which are calculated mainly as discounted annuities). Therefore, it is most expedient to regard the whole
portfolio as annuities. For Swedish and Baltic bodily injuries for motor insurances are paid as lifelong annuities. The discount rate used is a swap interest rate.
For the period 1 October to 31 December 2022, run-off gains are expected to be around NOK 250 million, moving the expected reported combined ratio to the lower end of the 86-89 corridor (undiscounted).
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are carried at the amount each asset/liability can be settled to in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurements date at the prevailing market conditions.
Different valuation techniques and methods are used to estimate fair value depending on the type of financial instruments and to which 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 that are included in the respective levels are accounted for below.
Quoted prices in active markets are considered the best estimate of an asset/liability's fair value. A financial asset/liability is considered valued based on quoted prices in active markets if fair value is estimated based on easily and regularly available prices and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring transactions at 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 which are based on observable market data.
A financial asset/liability is considered valued based on observable market data if 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
• Listed subordinated debt where transactions are not occurring regularly.
Valuation based on non-observable market data When neither quoted prices in active markets nor observable market data is available, the fair value of financial assets/liabilities is estimated based on valuation techniques which are based on non-observable market data.
A financial asset/liability is considered valued based on nonobservable market data if 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
In consultation with the Investment Performance and Risk Measurement department, the Chief Investment Officer 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 real estate 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 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 default on 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 1,967.3 million (1,988.8) 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 are making capital calls from their investors. 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) in average including option for of extension.
Gjensidige Forsikring is liable externally for any insurance claim arising in the cooperating mutual fire insurers' fire insurance operations.
During the quarter Falck Räddningskår AB and Flyt AS have been transferred from Gjensidige Forsikring ASA to Gjensidige Mobility Group AS. Falck has been rebranded to RedGo.
On 3 December 2021, Gjensidige Forsikring ASA entered into an agreement with Falck Investment Sverige AB to acquire 100 per cent of the shares in the Swedish roadside assistance company Falck Räddningskår AB and its subsidiaries in Norway and Finland. The Finnish company has subsidiaries in Estonia and Lithuania. The acquisition is considered a business combination.
The purchase price was NOK 1.5 billion. Voting share is equal to ownership share.
The transaction closed on 1 March 2022. Falck Räddningskår AB and its subsidiaries were included in Gjensidige's consolidated accounts from the same date.
Falck's roadside assistance activities fit well into Gjensidige's strategy to offer customers a broader range of services related to car maintenance. The acquired business had 280,000 assignments in 2020, and more than 1,400 recovery vehicles at 370 stations. In total, there are 307 employees in the acquired Falck units. Operating revenues that are recognised in
According to the agreement with Gjensidige Pensjonskasse the return, if not sufficient to cover the pension plans guaranteed interest rate, should be covered from the premium fund or through contribution from Gjensidige Forsikring.
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.
Except the sale of Falck and Flyt, there have not been any significant transactions with related parties other than ordinary current agreements conducted at arm's length distance.
Gjensidige's consolidated income statement per June amount to NOK 248 million with a profit before tax of NOK 25.5 million.
The acquisition method is the basis for accounting for the acquisition. The identifiable assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are measured at fair value. The analysis of acquired assets and liabilities is presented in the table below and is to be regarded as preliminary. The value in excess of the identifiable acquired assets and assumed liabilities is recognised as goodwill in the consolidated financial statements. Excess values are identified for existing customer relationships. There is a provision for deferred tax for surplus values, except for surplus value associated with goodwill. Goodwill represents an expectation of increased future business, streamlining of operations and constitutes expected synergy effects through collaboration with the business areas in Gjensidige and Flyt AS.
Equity as of 1 March 2022 was NOK 109 million, compared with equity as of 31 December 2021 of NOK 102 million.
Acquired goodwill is not considered to be tax deductible.
