Year-to-date development

Earnings performance

The profit before tax expense was NOK 110.6 million (135.8). The decline was due to lower net financial income and higher operating expenses. The Covid-19 pandemic had a minor impact on the company's results for the period, except from the effects from movements in interest rates and market prices.

Operating income

Total operating income amounted to NOK 313.6 million (301.6).

Administration fees were NOK 117.4 million (113.5) and insurance income was NOK 63.1 (65.7), reflecting the loss of one large client and higher reinsurance costs.

Management income increased to NOK 133.0 million (122.4) as a result of increased assets under management.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses increased to NOK 222.9 million (194.1), mainly driven by increased depreciation as a result of a shortened depreciation timeframe for IT-investments. Higher head counts in response to the growing business volume also had an impact on operating expenses.

Net financial income

Net financial income, including returns on both the group policy portfolio and the corporate portfolio, amounted to NOK 19.9 million (28.3). The decline was due to non-recurring gains from divestments last year and modest returns during the first quarter following the financial turmoil.

Paid-up policy portfolio

The recognised return on the paid-up policy portfolio was 1.4 per cent (2.8). The average annual interest guarantee was 3.4 per cent.

Assets under management

Assets under management increased by NOK 1,683.7 million from year end 2019. Total pension assets under management amounted to NOK 39,018.9 million (35,372.1) including the group policy portfolio of NOK 7,489.9 million (7,082.5).

Solvency position

The solvency margin reported at the end of the period was 153.9 per cent, up from 148.3 per cent in the last quarter.

Development during the quarter

Earnings performance

The profit before tax expense was NOK 41.3 million (43.0). The covid-19 pandemic had a minor impact on the company's results for the quarter.

Operating income

Total operating income amounted to NOK 106.3 million (104.4).

Administration fees were NOK 39.7 million (38.2). Insurance income was NOK 20.0 million (22.9), the decline reflecting higher reinsurance costs. Management income was NOK 46.6 million (43.2), reflecting growth in assets under management.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses were NOK 72.0 million (66.8), for the same reasons as described above.

Net financial income

Net financial income was NOK 7.0 million (5.4) as a result of good returns on real estate investments and the recovery of the financial markets.

Events after the balance sheet date

No significant events have occurred after the end of the quarter.

Outlook

Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring AS offers occupational pension and disability pension products to individuals. The defined contributions market remains competitive but highly active, creating ample business opportunities. The results achieved over the last few years substantiate the fact that the company is well positioned to further develop its business.

Notes

1. Accounting policies

The financial statements as of the third quarter of 2020, concluded on 30 September 2020, comprise Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring AS (GPF) and associated companies. Except of the changes described below, the accounting policies applied in the interim report is the same as those used in the annual report for 2019.

The financial statements as of the third quarter of 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and Norwegian Financial Reporting Regulations for Insurance Companies (FOR 2015-12-12-1824). 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 2019.

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 2020. They have not been applied when preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those that may be relevant to GPF are mentioned below. GPF 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 in connection with 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.

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

GPF is an entity that predominantly undertake insurance activities and has therefore decided to make use of this exception.

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. The standard is expected to have an effect on the group's financial statements, significantly changing the measurement and presentation of income and expenses.

Based on our preliminary assessments and on the basis of 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 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 2019.

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.

A complete or limited audit of the interim report has not been carried out.

2. 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 on the basis of the lowest level of 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 on the basis of valuation techniques 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).

The following financial assets/liabilities are classified as level two in the valuation hierarchy

  • Currency futures, equity options, forward rate agreements and currency swaps, 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.
  • Interest-bearing liabilities (banking activities) measured at fair value. These liabilities are valued based on observable credit spreads.
  • Listed subordinated notes 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 only financial assets classified as level three in the valuation hierarchy are shares in Norsk Pensjon and Pensjonsregisteret AS.
