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 185.9 million (119.5) 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/reporting in a document named APMs Gjensidige Forsikring Group Q1 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
Solid underwriting result, financial result impacted by market turmoil
Strong operations, effective pricing measures, good risk selection and stringent cost control resulted in a solid underwriting result. The investment portfolio was hit by the turmoil in the financial markets. The Group result was positively impacted by the remaining gain on the sale of Oslo Areal. Gjensidige's outlook remains good.
Group profit performance
Development during the quarter
Gjensidige Forsikring Group recorded a profit before tax expense of NOK 1,506.2 million (1,597.0) for the quarter.
The income tax expense amounted to NOK 188.1 million (256.6), resulting in an effective tax rate of 12.5 per cent (16.1). 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 1,318.1 million (1,340.4) and the corresponding earnings per share were NOK 2.64 (2.68). The profit includes a NOK 0.8 billion gain on the sale of Oslo Areal.
The profit from general insurance operations measured by the underwriting result was NOK 1,024.9 million (1,040.0), corresponding to a combined ratio of 86.5 (85.1).
Earned premiums from general insurance increased by 8.6 per cent to NOK 7,575.1 million (6,973.2) in the quarter. Measured in local currency, premiums increased by 9.9 per cent. Earned premiums increased due to solid renewals, effective and differentiated pricing measures and volume growth.
Premium growth, an improved underlying frequency loss ratio and a lower cost ratio improved the underwriting result, but this was more than offset by above-average large losses. The Covid-19 pandemic did not impact the result in the first quarter.
The underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 1.9 percentage points compared with the same quarter in 2021, driven by Private, Commercial and Sweden. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims and the effect on claims of the extraordinarily cold winter in Norway in the first quarter 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved 0.7 percentage points.
Earned premiums in the Private segment increased by 6.9 per cent, which together with an improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio resulted in a higher underwriting result. Both large losses and run-off gains were lower than in the same period last year.
Earned premiums in the Commercial segment increased by 11.8 per cent. The underwriting result increased due to higher earned premiums and an improved underlying frequency loss ratio, partly offset by higher large losses and lower run-off gains.
Earned premiums in the Danish segment increased by 11.3 per cent measured in local currency. The underwriting result decreased mainly due to higher large losses.
Earned premiums in the Swedish segment were up 7.7 per cent measured in local currency. The underwriting result increased mainly due to an improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio and higher earned premiums, partly offset by run-off losses in the quarter.
Earned premiums in the Baltic segment increased by 14.1 per cent measured in local currency. The underwriting result
decreased, primarily due to a higher frequency loss ratio and higher operating expenses.
The Pension segment generated a higher profit for the period, driven by an increase in operating income and increased return on real estate investments.
The financial result for the quarter was minus NOK 285.1 million (positive 556.1), which corresponds to a return on total assets of minus 0.5 per cent (plus 0.9). The result for the quarter was negatively impacted by higher interest rates, a decline in the equity markets and higher credit spreads. Private equity and commodities contributed positively to the performance.
Equity and capital position
The Group's equity amounted to NOK 22,434.4 million (22,650.5) at the end of the period. The annualised return on equity for the quarter was 22.1 per cent (22.9). The solvency ratios at the end of the period were:
- Approved Partial Internal Model1 : 188 per cent
- Own Partial Internal Model2 : 239 per cent
The Group has a robust solvency position.
Gjensidige has an 'A' rating from Standard & Poor's.

Operational targets
Gjensidige launched a set of new operational targets at the capital markets day in November 2021. These are important in supporting delivery on strategic priorities and Gjensidige's financial targets towards 2025. The development of the metrics during the quarter has been good with improvements among others in customer retention outside Norway. Gjensidige is well under way to deliver on the targets in 2025.

Sustainable development
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:
Safer society:
- Introduced fire detection sensors as a standard offering to all commercial customers.
- Record low number of fires in the agriculture sector in 2021, after many years of close co-operation with Gjensidige, involving among other things the use of sensors in fuse boxes.
- Improved content and visibility of HSE advice for commercial customers on Gjensidige's web site. Customers can find damage prevention advice relating to fire safety, water damage, cybercrime and theft, as well as employees' health and working environment.
Sustainable claims handling:
- Lifted minimum threshold for second-hand spare parts for motor repairs from 5 to 10 per cent. Applicable to partner repair shops.
- Entered into agreement with Elcare in Norway, paving the way for repairs of a wide range of electronic equipment.
- Implemented several initiatives together with MOT and UE with primary focus on mental health among the young. Reaching out to approximately 200,000 pupils.
Responsible investments:
• The vast majority of our external managers have confirmed that they have signed UN PRI, thus complying with our requirement. We continue to screen the whole portfolio to
evaluate if they comply with Gjensidige's ESG requirements. Exclusions have been made on the basis of E, S and G.
Other initiatives to support our sustainability goals:
- Established co-operation with Skift to find good climate adaptation measures for the commercial sector in Norway. Skift is an organisation consisting of climate leaders in the business community who aim to become a driving force for Norway's achievement of its climate goals by 2030.
- Became a member of SfS BA (Samarbeid for Sikkerhet i bygg og anlegg) in Norway, to strengthen damage prevention efforts in the building sector relating to accidents, working environment and health issues. SfS BA is an organisation consisting of members representing regulators, trade and labour unions and other parts of the value chain in the building industry in Norway.
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 the transformation of insurance products to achieve a leading position within sustainable insurance that is in line with the EU taxonomy. Gjensidige's first product to fully comply with EU taxonomy criteria is commercial building insurance.
General Insurance Private
Development during the quarter
The underwriting result increased by 20.0 per cent, driven by higher earned premiums and an improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio. Both large losses and run-off gains were lower than in the same period last year.
Earned premiums increased by 6.9 per cent, driven by price increases for motor, property and accident and health insurance as well as higher volumes for motor insurance. Gjensidige maintained its strong position in the market. Competitiveness remained good. The number of customers increased, and the customer retention rate was high at 89.8 per cent
The loss ratio decreased by 2.7 percentage points. The underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 4.1 percentage points, due to more favourable weather conditions compared with the first quarter last year, impacting the profitability of the property product line. The profitability of several products, including motor insurance, also improved. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims and the weather effect in the first quarter 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 2.0 percentage points.
The cost ratio decreased by 0.3 percentage points.

General Insurance Commercial
Development during the quarter
The underwriting result increased by 6.9 per cent. The result reflects increased earned premiums and an improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio, partly offset by higher large losses and lower run-off gains.
Earned premiums increased by 11.8 per cent. All the main product lines showed positive growth, driven by effective pricing measures, solid renewals and volume growth for the motor and accident and health insurance products. The customer retention rate remained high at 91.5 per cent.
The loss ratio increased by 2.0 percentage points, mainly driven by a significant increase in large losses, partly offset by more
favourable weather conditions compared with the same quarter last year. The underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 3.4 percentage points due to weather conditions, impacting the profitability of property insurance, and a continued focus on pricing and risk selection. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in the first quarter 2021 and the weather effect, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 0.4 percentage points.
The cost ratio decreased by 1.2 percentage points, reflecting higher earned premiums, a stable cost level and continued focus on cost-efficiency.

General Insurance Denmark
Development during the quarter
The underwriting result decreased by 17.0 per cent, or 14.4 per cent measured in local currency. The decrease was mainly driven by higher large losses.
Earned premiums increased by 7.7 per cent. Measured in local currency, earned premiums increased by 11.3 per cent, driven by growth in the commercial segment and in specialty travel insurance, as well as the contribution from NEM Forsikring A/S. Premium growth in the commercial segment reflected volume growth for the main product lines, as well as price increases, the latter in particular for workers' compensation. Travel insurance volumes increased compared with the same quarter last year, bringing earned premiums back to pre-pandemic levels. Premiums in the private segment (excluding NEM) were somewhat lower than the same quarter last year, driven by
competitive pressure. The customer retention rate remained broadly stable at 80.8.
The loss ratio increased by 4.0 percentage points, mainly driven by higher large losses and a 0.6 percentage point increase in the underlying frequency loss ratio. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in the first quarter of 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 1.8 percentage points, driven by property insurance and workers compensation, as well as the contribution from NEM.
The cost ratio improved due to higher earned premiums.

General Insurance Sweden
Development during the quarter
The underwriting result was NOK 28.1 million (2.4). The increase was mainly driven by an improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio and higher earned premiums, partly offset by run-off losses in the quarter.
Earned premiums increased by 0.7 per cent. Measured in local currency, earned premiums increased by 7.7 per cent, mainly driven by volume growth in the commercial portfolio, slightly offset by a decline in the private portfolio and termination of a larger unprofitable commercial contract during the quarter. Termination of a partner agreement in the private portfolio in the third quarter last year was the main reason for the decline in earned premiums in the private portfolio. Customer retention increased by 3.1 percentage points, with improvement in both the private and commercial portfolios, driven by successful efforts to strengthen customer satisfaction with sales-, serviceand claims processes.
The loss ratio decreased by 4.8 percentage points, driven by an 8.1 percentage points decrease in the underlying frequency loss ratio, partly offset by run-off losses in the quarter. Adjusted for the positive Covid-19 impact on claims in the first quarter of 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 8.6 percentage points. Profitability improved for property insurance in the commercial portfolio and motor insurance in both portfolios, while the health and payment protection insurance lines recorded somewhat lower profitability.
The cost ratio improved by 1.7 percentage points, as a result of cost reductions and higher earned premiums.

General Insurance Baltics
Development during the quarter
The underwriting result was minus NOK 40.2 million (minus 10.0). The decrease was primarily due to a higher frequency loss ratio, and higher operating expenses.
Earned premiums increased by 10.4 per cent. Measured in local currency, earned premiums increased by 14.1 per cent, with growth in most insurance lines, particularly motor and health insurance. Travel insurance volumes increased significantly compared with the same period last year, but they were still below pre-pandemic levels. Customer retention increased to 69.6 per cent, driven by efforts to strengthen customer loyalty.
The loss ratio increased by 10.3 percentage points, driven by a 9.2 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 first quarter 2021, the underlying frequency loss ratio increased by 8.1 percentage points, driven by less favourable weather conditions and inflationary pressure on repairs. Motor, health and property insurance lines showed lower profitability.
The cost ratio improved by 0.7 percentage point, driven by higher premiums.

Pension
Development during the quarter
The profit before tax expense increased by 19.5 per cent, driven by increased operating income and a higher return on real estate investments.
Administration fees decreased by 7.7 per cent due to reduction in the holding of pension certificates after the introduction of individual pension account last year. Insurance income increased by 22.6 per cent, reflecting portfolio growth for both occupational and individual insurance products.
Management income rose by 12.6 per cent due to growth in assets under management since the first quarter of 2021.
Operating expenses increased by 2.5 per cent, mainly driven by a higher headcount.
Net financial income, including returns on both the group policy portfolio and the corporate portfolio, was NOK 8.6 million (6.0), reflecting high returns on real estate investments.
The recognised return on the paid-up policy portfolio was 1.2 per cent (1.0). The average annual interest guarantee was 3.4 per cent.
Assets under management decreased by 0.5 per cent or NOK 236.1 million from year-end 2021, reflecting the development in the capital markets. Total pension assets under management amounted to NOK 51,190.3 million (44,199.4) including the group policy portfolio of NOK 8,471.0 million (7,866.6).
ROE after tax was 15.3 per cent (13.0), driven by higher profit.

Management of financial assets and properties
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.
Development during the quarter
At the end of the period, the investment portfolio totalled NOK 61.1 billion (60.5). The financial result for the quarter was minus NOK 285.1 million (positive 556.1), which corresponds to a return on total assets of minus 0.5 per cent (plus 0.9).
The result for the quarter was negatively impacted by higher interest rates, a decline in the equity markets and higher credit spreads. Private equity and commodities contributed positively to the performance.

The match portfolio amounted to NOK 36.8 billion (36.1). The portfolio had a return of minus 0.1 per cent (plus 0.6) for the quarter, excluding changes in the value of bonds recognised at amortised cost. The result reflects higher interest rates and somewhat higher credit spreads. Bonds recognised at amortised cost amounted to NOK 16.6 billion (15.5). Unrealised excess value fell to minus NOK 0.3 billion (excess value 0.7) at the end of the period.
The reinvestment rate for new investments in the portfolio of bonds held at amortised cost was approximately 3.6 per cent (2.3) on average for the quarter. The running yield on the portfolio of bonds held at amortised cost was 3.4 per cent (3.4) at the end of the

Organisation
The Group had a total of 4.112 employees at the end of the first quarter, compared with 3,815 at year end 2021. The increase is due to the acquisition of Falck, Gjensidige's recently acquired road assistant companies in Norway, Sweden, Finland, Estonia and Lithuania
The composition of the Group's employees was as follows: 1,947 (1,948) in general insurance operations in Norway, 307 (0) in Falck, 46 (45) in Flyt, 100 (99) in Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring, 798 (795) in Denmark, 224 (237) in Sweden
and 690 (691) in the Baltic states (excluding agents). The figures in brackets refer to the number of employees at year end 2021.
Events after the balance sheet date
No significant events have occurred after the end of the period.
Strategy and outlook
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 with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, fuelling uncertainty and adding to the inflationary pressure brought on by the pandemic. The Nordic economies have rebounded after the pandemic and have a strong starting point to weather the current volatilities. Although there is higher uncertainty than normal, Gjensidige does not expect to see any significant read over to its non-life operations from this macroeconomic uncertainty.
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 first 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.
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 claims 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's annual financial and solvency targets through 2025 are as follows:
- A combined ratio below 85 per cent • Annual run-off gains of approximately NOK 1 billion are still expected in 2022
- A cost ratio below 14 per cent
- A solvency margin based on the Partial Internal Model (the regulatory approved model) of between 150 and 200 per cent
- Return on equity after tax > 19 per cent
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.
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 strength 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.

Notes
1. Accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements as of the first quarter of 2022, concluded on 31 March 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 first 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.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
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 Financial instruments (2014) in the insurance operations
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;
- the financial conglomerate states in the consolidated financial statements which insurance entities in the group are applying IAS 39;
- disclosures requested by IFRS 7 are provided separately for the insurance sector applying IAS 39 and for the rest of the group applying IFRS 9.
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 Insurance Contracts (2017)
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. However, the effects are not quantified as they cannot yet be calculated reliably.
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 2019.
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.
2. Seasonal variations
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.
3. Segment information
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.

| Nominal claims provision, gross - annuities | 6,677.3 | 6,383.0 | 6,585.5 |
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 April to 31 December 2022, run-off gains are expected to be around NOK 750 million, moving the expected reported combined ratio to the lower end of the 86-89 corridor (undiscounted).
8. Financial assets and liabilities
Fair value
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
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
- Listed shares
- Norwegian government/government backed bonds and other fixed income securities
- Exchange traded funds
Valuation based on observable market data
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
- Currency derivatives, equity options and forward rate agreements, in which fair value is derived from the value of underlying instruments. These derivatives are valued using common valuation techniques for derivatives (option pricing models etc.).
- Equity funds, bond funds, hedge funds and combination funds, in which fair value is estimated based on the fair value of the underlying investments of the funds.
- Bonds, certificates or index bonds that are unlisted, or that are listed but where transactions are not occurring regularly. The unlisted instruments in this category are valued based on observable yield curves and estimated credit spreads where applicable.
• 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
- Unlisted private equity investments. The private equity investments that are not organised as funds are valued using cash flow analysis, price multiples and recent market transactions. The private equity investments that are organised as funds are valued based on NAV (Net Asset Value) as reported by the administrators in accordance with IPEV guidelines (International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation. Because of late reporting from the funds, the NAV from the previous quarterly reporting is used in estimating fair value. The NAV is then assessed for discretionary adjustments based on objective events since the last reporting date. Objective events may be the development in underlying values of listed companies since the last reporting, changes in regulations or substantial market movements.
- Loan funds containing secured debt and real estate funds. The funds are valued based on reported NAV values as reported by the fund administrators. Because of late reporting from the funds, the NAV values from the previous quarterly reporting are used in estimating fair value.
The valuation process for financial assets classified as level three
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.
Sensitivity financial assets level three
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.

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 to be a business combination.
The purchase price NOK 1.5 billion and will finally be determined when the closing balance is approved, probably in the middle of May. 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.

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.
Gjensidige's consolidated income statement for March amount to NOK 60 million with a profit before tax of NOK 5.1 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 consti-tutes expected synergy effects through collaboration with the business areas in Gjensidige and Flyt AS.
Equity as of 1 March 2022 was NOK 112 million, compared with equity as of 31 December 2021 of NOK 102 million.
Acquired goodwill is not considered to be tax deductible.
