Capital and shareholder matters

The company is well capitalized under the Solvency II regime. Solvency capital requirement (SCR) ratio using standard formula is 193% as of 30.09.2017, which is within the company's risk appetite.

Prospects

The Board is satisfied with the overall premium growth and the financial results and expects continued strong growth in 2017, despite strong competition in all markets.

The Grenfell Tower catastrophe clearly demonstrated the inherent volatility in our core business. Proper reassurance arrangements have limited the direct net effect on the company. However, uncertainty in claims development, and the inherent volatility of capital markets, are continued to be the most important risk factors that could affect the company's profit in 2017.

During the quarter, changes were made to the classification of currency derivatives. Previously, currency derivatives were posted gross. This has now been changed so that each contract are posted net. Derivatives with a positive market value are shown as assets and derivatives with a negative market value are shown as liabilities. Comparable figures have been restated

Fair value of financial assets traded in active markets are based on market value on the accounting day. A market is considered active if the market rates are easily and regularly available from a stock exchange, distributor, broker, industrial classification, price-setting service or regulatory authority, and these prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions at arm's length. The market price applied to financial assets is the existing bid price. These instruments are included in level 1.

Fair value of financial instruments not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation methods. These valuation methods maximise the use of observable data where available, and are based as little as possible on own estimates. The instrument is included in level 2 if all essential data are based on observable market data.

The instrument is included in level 3 if one or more essential data are not based on observable market data.
