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 78.5 million (163.4) for the year to date and NOK 56.5 million (67.5) in the quarter. Accounting items related to written reinsurance and reinstatement premiums are also included.
2 The profit before tax expense is presented for the continuing operation (excluding Gjensidige Bank).
3 Defined as alternative performance measure (APM). APMs are described on www.gjensidige.no/reporting in document named APMs Gjensidige Forsikring Group Q3 2019. 4
Large losses = loss events in excess of NOK 10.0 million. Expected large losses for the quarter were NOK 295.0 million. 5 Underlying frequency loss ratio = claims incurred etc. excluding large losses and run-off gains/(losses) divided by earned premiums
The result for the third quarter 2019 was strong, with the improvement on the corresponding quarter last year primarily being driven by effective pricing and reunderwriting measures, as well as more favourable weather conditions. The Norwegian operations continued to show strong improvement and performance outside Norway progressed according to plan.
Gjensidige Forsikring Group recorded a profit before tax expense of NOK 6,025.2 million (2,603.9) for the year to date. The sale of Gjensidige Bank was completed on 1 March, with proceeds of approximately NOK 5.6 billion and a gain for the Group of NOK 1.6 billion recorded in the first quarter. The profit before tax expense excluding this gain was NOK 4,443.3 million.
The profit from general insurance operations measured by the underwriting result was NOK 3,116.8 million (1,691.4), corresponding to a combined ratio of 83.0 (90.6).
The return on financial assets was 2.6 per cent (2.0) or NOK 1,473.9 million (1,052.0).
The tax expense amounted to NOK 942.4 million (516.0), resulting in an effective tax rate of 15.6 per cent (19.8). The effective tax rate was impacted by the sale of shares in Gjensidige Bank and other realised and unrealised gains and losses on equity investments in the EEA.
The profit after tax expense from continuing and discontinued operations was NOK 5,082.8 million (2,087.9) and the corresponding earnings per share were NOK 10.24 (4.83).
Earned premiums from general insurance increased to NOK 18,336.6 million (17,971.6) for the year to date. The underwriting result increased due to price increases, adjustments to terms and conditions, re-underwriting and efficiency measures in addition to more favourable weather conditions in Norway compared to the same period last year. The underlying frequency loss ratio improved by 4.8 percentage points. Lower large losses and higher run-off gains also contributed to the improved results.
The 12-month rolling underlying profitability of the motor insurance line in Norway reached a turning point during the first quarter and continued to improve through the third quarter as a result of effective profitability measures.
Earned premiums in the Private segment increased by 1.7 per cent. The underwriting result increased, primarily due to more favourable weather conditions than in the same period last year as well as the improvement in the profitability of the motor insurance line mentioned above.
Earned premiums in the Commercial segment increased by 7.3 per cent due to increased prices, which together with more favourable weather conditions led to an increase in underwriting results.
The Danish segment recorded 2.2 per cent lower earned premiums measured in local currency. The underwriting result improved due to a lower underlying frequency loss ratio.
Earned premiums in the Swedish segment were 12.5 per cent lower measured in local currency. The underwriting result was further impacted by improvements in the underlying frequency loss ratio, lower large losses and a run-off loss.
Earned premiums in the Baltic segment increased by 1.0 per cent measured in local currency. The underwriting result was lower than in the same period last year, driven by a higher underlying frequency loss ratio and lower run-off gains.
The Pension segment generated higher profit for the year to date, driven by a growing customer portfolio and increased assets under management.
Gjensidige Bank was recorded as a discontinued operation until the closing of the sale on 1 March 2019. The profit after tax expense in the first two months of the year was NOK 37.6 million (324.3 for the first three quarters of 2018).
The return on financial assets was higher than in the same period last year, with the largest contribution coming from the free portfolio where bonds, current equities and property in particular yielded good returns.
The Group recorded a profit before tax expense of NOK 1,271.5 million (964.0) for the quarter. The profit from general insurance operations measured by the underwriting result was NOK 1,061.1 million (573.4), corresponding to a combined ratio of 83.2 (90.6). The return on financial assets was 0.5 per cent (0.8) or NOK 278.8 million (426.5).
The profit after tax expense was NOK 993.2 million (803.5). Earnings per share amounted to NOK 1.99 (1.75).
The underwriting result was primarily driven by 3.3 per cent growth in earned premiums, an improved underlying frequency loss ratio and lower large losses. The underlying frequency loss ratio improved primarily due to improved weather conditions in addition to effective pricing and re-underwriting measures across all segments. In addition, a restructuring provision of NOK 80.0 million was made in the third quarter of 2018.
The Pension operation recorded an increased profit due to higher net operating income, which was partly offset by lower returns on property investments.
The financial return in the quarter was lower than in the same period last year. Good returns on property were partly offset by low returns from convertible bonds, current equities and PEfunds in the free portfolio.
The Group's equity amounted to NOK 24,819.9 million (22,233.9) at the end of the period. The annualised return on equity was 29.9 per cent (15.0). Excluding the NOK 1.6 billion gain on the sale of Gjensidige Bank, the annualised return on equity was 21.6 per cent. The solvency margins at the end of the period were:
Total comprehensive income for the year-to-date is included in the solvency calculations, minus a formulaic dividend pay-out ratio of 80 per cent of net profit (excluding the gain on the sale of Gjensidige Bank). The guarantee scheme provision is treated as a liability in accordance with instructions from the Financial Supervisory Authority of Norway. In Gjensidige's opinion, special Norwegian provisions that are actually an equity element must be treated as solvency capital. Gjensidige will continue to make endeavours to ensure that the regulations are in line with this view.
Gjensidige has an 'A' rating from Standard & Poor's.
The Gjensidige Group's financial and solvency targets have been reviewed in connection with the annual Own Risk and Solvency Assessment (ORSA) process. The new target range for the solvency margin, based on the Partial Internal Model (both the regulatory approved model and the model with internal calibration) is 150-200%. This range supports both rating ambitions and the necessary financial flexibility for the Group. The remaining financial targets are unchanged.
The Group continuously endeavours to set the technical provisions at the correct level. There is nonetheless an inherent risk that the technical provisions will be insufficient. In order to reduce this risk, regular efforts are made to improve the actuarial methods used. External actuaries are used from time to time to conduct independent reviews of the provisions. A review carried out by such third party during the third quarter confirmed the Group's gross loss reserves as at 30 September 2019.

The underwriting result was NOK 1,474.6 million (1,123.7). The increase in the underwriting result was driven by more favourable weather conditions than in the same period last year and by the improvement in the profitability of the motor insurance line following successful profitability measures. The combined ratio was 77.8 (82.8).
Earned premiums increased to NOK 6,642.3 million (6,532.3), mainly due to price increases for motor and property insurance. Price increases were implemented for all main product lines. The number of insured objects declined somewhat compared with the same period last year, both as a result of the ongoing pricing measures for motor and property in particular, and because of the previously announced termination of the NITO partner agreement with effect from 1 January 2019. However, the trend improved during the period.
Claims incurred amounted to NOK 4,307.3 million (4,572.0). The loss ratio improved to 64.8 (70.0), primarily driven by a 4.8 percentage point improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio. Lower large losses also contributed positively, while run-off gains were somewhat lower than in the same period last year. Both the motor and property insurance lines showed improved profitability, reflecting the difference in weather conditions. The profitability of the motor insurance line also reflected significant pricing measures and adjustments to terms and conditions in response to claims inflation. The negative 12-month rolling underlying profitability trend for motor, excluding the extraordinary weather effects last year, reached a turning point during the first quarter of 2019. and continued to improve through the third quarter.
Operating expenses increased to NOK 860.4 million (836.5). The cost ratio was 13.0 (12.8).
The underwriting result was NOK 495.5 million (408.7). The increase in the underwriting result was driven by improved profitability in all the main product lines. The combined ratio was 78.7 (82.1).
Earned premiums increased to NOK 2,329.8 million (2,279.0), mainly due to price increases for motor and property insurance. The number of insured objects declined compared with the same quarter last year, although the number was up compared with the second quarter this year.
Claims incurred amounted to NOK 1,535.8 million (1,572.7). The loss ratio improved to 65.9 (69.0), reflecting a 0.9 percentage point improvement in the underlying frequency loss ratio and lower large losses. Run-off gains were slightly higher. The property insurance line showed improved profitability driven by somewhat better weather conditions. Motor insurance showed an improved loss ratio as a result of effective profitability measures. Travel insurance, and accident and health also recorded improved profitability.
Operating expenses amounted to NOK 298.5 million (297.6). The cost ratio was 12.8 (13.1).

The profit before tax expense was NOK 135.8 million (110.3). The increase was driven by higher operating and financial income.
Administration fees increased to NOK 113.5 million (107.2) and insurance income increased to NOK 65.7 million (48.6), both driven by a growing customer portfolio. Management income increased to NOK 122.4 million (110.2) as a result of growth in assets under management.
Operating expenses increased to NOK 194.1 million (181.3), driven by increased business volume.
Net financial income, including returns on both the group policy portfolio and the corporate portfolio, amounted to NOK 28.3 million (25.7). The increased return was related to gains on divestments of loans and receivables during the first quarter.
The year-to-date return on the paid-up policy portfolio was 2.8 per cent (4.5). The decline was related to non-recurring effects last year due to a change in the classification of unrealised gains relating to property investments. The average annual interest guarantee was 3.3 per cent.
Assets under management increased by NOK 4,683.9 million from year end 2018. Total pension assets under management amounted to NOK 35,372.1 million (31,711.5) including the group policy portfolio of NOK 7,082.5 million (6,474.3).
The pension segment reported a profit before tax expense of NOK 43.0 million (40.2).
Administration fees increased to NOK 38.2 million (36.7), insurance income to NOK 22.9 million (16.9) and management income to NOK 43.2 million (37.5), all for the same reasons as described above.

Net financial income was NOK 5.4 million (11.0) mainly due to lower returns on property investments than in the same period last year.
Assets under management increased by NOK 1,204.6 million during the quarter, reflecting a positive market trend.

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 risk in the investment portfolio is generally hedged close to 100 per cent, within a permitted range of +/- 10 per cent per currency.
At the end of the period, the investment portfolio totalled NOK 57.5 billion (52.7). The financial result for the year to date was NOK 1,473.9 million (1,052.0), which corresponds to a return on total assets of 2.6 per cent (2.0).
The match portfolio amounted to NOK 34.7 billion (34.4). The portfolio yielded a return of 1.7 per cent (1.9), excluding changes in the value of the bonds recognised at amortised cost. Bonds recognised at amortised cost amounted to NOK 15.4 billion (15.6). Unrealised excess value amounted to NOK 0.9 billion (0.8) at the end of the period. The reinvestment rate for new investments in the portfolio of bonds held at amortised cost was approximately 2.7 per cent on average in the third quarter, while the running yield on the portfolio of bonds held at amortised cost was 3.7 per cent at the end of the period.
The average duration of the match portfolio was 3.4 years. The average term to maturity for the corresponding insurance liabilities was 4.0 years. The distribution of counterparty risk and credit rating is shown in the charts on page 13. Securities without an official credit rating amounted to NOK 8.4 billion (11.2). Of these securities, 5.2 per cent (4.4) were issued by Norwegian savings banks, while the remainder were mostly issued by Norwegian power producers and distributors, property companies, industry and municipalities. Bonds with a coupon linked to the development of the Norwegian consumer price index accounted for 5.5 per cent (6.4) of the match portfolio.
The geographical distribution3 of the match portfolio is shown in the chart on the next page.

The free portfolio amounted to NOK 22.8 billion (18.4) at the end of the period. The return was 4.1 per cent (2.1). The increase in assets was mainly due to the sale of Gjensidige Bank ASA.
The fixed-income instruments in the free portfolio amounted to NOK 12.8 billion (8.1), of which money market investments, including cash, accounted for NOK 5.4 billion (4.3). The rest of the portfolio was invested in Norwegian government bonds and international bonds (investment grade, high yield and convertible bonds).

The financial result for the total investment portfolio was NOK 278.8 million (426.5) in the quarter. This corresponds to a return on financial assets of 0.5 per cent (0.8).
The match portfolio yielded 0.5 per cent (0.6), excluding changes in the value of the portfolio valued at amortised cost. The return on the free portfolio was 0.5 per cent (1.2). The return was negatively impacted by negative returns in the Danish match portfolio and on convertible bonds whereas all other asset classes yielded positive returns.
The Group had a total of 3,711 employees at the end of the third quarter, compared with 3,716 at the end of second quarter.
The composition of the Group's employees was as follows: 1,884 (1,874) in general insurance operations in Norway, 70 (69) in Gjensidige Pensjonsforsikring, 736 (729) in Denmark, 267 (283) in Sweden and 754 (761) in the Baltic states (excluding agents). 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.
The Group's annual financial and solvency targets for the period 2019 through 2022 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.
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. The key operational strategic priorities with a view to achieving these ambitions are to deliver the best digital customer experiences, focus on business intelligence and advanced analytics, and develop dynamic organisational capabilities.
Geopolitical uncertainty, low interest rates and financial challenges in several key economies reflect an uncertain economic situation. The macroeconomic outlook in the Nordic region and the outlook for Gjensidige's operations are still regarded as good.
Organic growth is expected to be in line with nominal GDP growth in Gjensidige's market areas in the Nordic countries and the Baltic states over time. In addition, profitable growth will be achieved by pursuing a disciplined acquisition strategy, as has been done successfully in the past.
Competition is still strong in the Norwegian general insurance market. Gjensidige's competitiveness remains good. Continued efforts to maintain and further strengthen Gjensidige's position in the Norwegian market will be prioritised, ensuring cost-efficiency and improving digital customer experiences. At the same time, new, profitable opportunities for growth will be considered in the Nordic region and the Baltic states to ensure good utilisation of a scalable business model and best practice. Strong emphasis will also be placed on further developing cooperation with partners and distributors.
The profitability of the motor insurance line in Norway has improved significantly following effective pricing measures and adjustments to terms and conditions. Price increases will continue going forward to counter the impact from expected claims inflation. Profitability is expected to remain at the current high level.
Efforts to deliver the best digital customer experiences in the Nordic and Baltic general insurance industry will be intensified. To support this, Gjensidige has started the process of developing and configuring the new core IT system, starting with Denmark. The investment in a new core system is expected to be handled within the current cost ratio target, and will be made step-by-step, starting with Denmark, then Sweden and finally Norway.
Gjensidige has a robust investment strategy, although returns are affected by challenging market conditions. There are still some outstanding uncertainties relating to changes to the regulatory framework conditions for the financial sector in Norway and internationally.
The Group has satisfactory 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.
The sale of Gjensidige Bank will have a temporary negative impact on the Group's return on equity, until the proceeds have been reinvested in value-enhancing opportunities or returned to shareholders. The gain on the sale will be excluded from the basis for calculating the payout ratio for regular dividends.
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 2019, concluded on 30 September 2019, 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 2018.
The consolidated financial statements as of the third quarter of 2019 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 2018.
Gjensidige implemented IFRS 16 at 1 January 2019 and there were significant implementation effects on the balance sheet, as well as an effect on equity. Please refer to note 11 for further details.
Amendments to IAS 12: Changes in classification of tax on equity items that are classified as liability for tax purposes In accordance with IAS 12 paragraph 57A, tax on equity items classified as liability for tax purposes are no longer classified as part of the equity transaction, but as part of the tax expense in the income statement.
A number of new standards, changes to standards and interpretations have been issued for financial years beginning after 1 January 2019. 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.
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 2021. 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 2021, where all of the following conditions are met:
Gjensidige is a financial conglomerate which primarily operates insurance business and has therefore decided to make use of this exception. According to the Exposure Draft "Amendments to IFRS 17" published June 2019, the IFRS 9 will be effective 1 January 2022, 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 expected to be effective 1 January 2022. 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 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 2018.
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.
Gjensidige Bank was discontinued from the third quarter 2018 and is no longer a separate segment in Gjensidige Group. The sale was completed on 1 March.
The Group´s core operations comprise the segments general insurance Private, Commercial, Denmark, Sweden and Baltics. The Group also has operation in the Pension segment.
The segments are evaluated regularly by Gjensidige´s senior group management based on financial and operational information specially prepared for each segment for the purpose of following up performance and allocating necessary resources. 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.
Segment income is defined as earned premiums for general insurance and earned premiums and other income for Pension.
The segment result is defined as the underwriting result for general insurance and the profit before tax expense for Pension.
As from 1 January 2018 the former Nordic segment has been divided into two new segments: Denmark and Sweden. Comparable figures are changed accordingly.

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 occupational injuries 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 MTPL personal injuries are paid as lifelong annuities. The discount rate used is a swap interest rate.
Over the next four years, average annual run-off gains are expected to be around NOK 1,000 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).
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.
The sensitivity analysis for financial assets that are valued based on non-observable market data shows the effect on profits of realistic and plausible market outcomes. 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. A fall in value of ten per cent is deemed to be a realistic and plausible market outcome for shares and similar interests, as well as bonds and other securities with a fixed return that are included in level three of the valuation hierarchy.

As part of its ongoing financial management Gjensidige has committed, but not paid up to NOK 743.4 million (687.4) in loan funds containing secured debt and various private equity and real estate funds, over and above the amounts recognised in the balance sheet.
Gjensidige Forsikring is liable externally for any insurance claim arising in the cooperating mutual fire insurers' fire insurance operations.
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.
There have not been any significant transactions with related parties other than ordinary current agreements conducted at arm's length distance.
IFRS 16 requires all contracts that qualify under its definition as a lease to be reported on a lessee`s statement of financial position as right of use assets and lease liabilities. Earlier classification of leases as either operating leases or finance leases are removed. Short-term leases (less than 12 months) and leases of low-value assets are exempt from the requirements. A lessee shall recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The interest effect of discounting the lease liability shall be presented separately from the depreciation charge for the right-of-use asset. The depreciation expense will be presented with the group's other depreciations, whereas the interest effect of discounting will be presented as a financial item.
To determine whether a contract contains a lease, it is considered whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset. This is for Gjensidige considered to be the case for rental contracts, leases for cars and some office machines etc. However, the main part of the latter group is exempted for recognition due to low value. IT agreements are not considered to fall under IFRS 16 since these are based on the purchase of capacity that is not physically separated and thus not identifiable.
The rental period is calculated based on the duration of the agreement plus any option periods if these with reasonable certainty will be exercised. Joint expenses etc. are not recognised in the lease liability for the rental contracts.
The discount rate for the rental contracts is determined by looking at observable borrowing rates in the bond market for each of the countries in which Gjensidige operates. The interest rates are adapted to the actual lease contracts duration etc. The discount rate for the leasing cars is determined based on an assessment of which loan interest Gjensidige would achieve for financing cars from a financing company.
Gjensidige has recognised its lease liabilities at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application, as well as the recognition of related right-of-use assets to an amount corresponding to the lease liability according to the modified retrospective approach. However, for the largest rental agreements in Norway, Sweden and Denmark, Gjensidige has chosen to recognise the right-of-use asset at the carrying amount as if the standard had been applied since the commencement date, but discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate at the date of initial application. Comparative figures were not adjusted. The difference between this and the lease liability, less deferred tax, amounted to NOK 61.4 million and was recognised directly in equity on 1 January 2019.
