About Solid Försäkring

Solid Försäkring is a non-life insurance company focusing on niche insurance, with the Nordic region as its core market. The non-life insurance operations are divided into three segments: Product, Personal Safety and Assistance. The company has a large customer base of private customers in the Nordic region, which are primarily sourced through partnerships with leading retail chains within several different industries and banks, credit market companies and other financial institutions, travel agencies, car dealerships and car repair shops. Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, in 2024 amounted to SEK 1,129 million and the technical result to SEK 149 million.

Comments from the CEO

Stable performance in insurance operations – the Board proposes increased dividend

The fourth quarter of the year better reflected macro trends than the year-earlier quarter. The technical result was in line with the previous year, while profit from the non-technical account decreased, primarily due to lower market valuations in the investment portfolio. In total, this means that profit before tax for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 37.9 million (64.4). For the full-year 2024, the technical result decreased to SEK 148.8 million (162.3), while earnings per share rose to SEK 8.99 (8.67) as a result of strong returns from our non-technical account and from our buy-back programme.

Underlying sales, gross written premiums, excluding non-recurring effects, increased 10 per cent compared with last year. Q4 2023 included a positive non-recurring effect of SEK 14.5 million as a result of a transaction with AmTrust International, which means that we are handling the run-off that arose in conjunction with our acquisition of Car Protect. In addition, the concluded partnership with Power had a negative impact on sales in Q4 2024 compared to Q4 2023 (however, the impact was marginal). Gross written premiums, including non-recurring effects, for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 260.7 million (286.2).

Sales in the Assistance segment rose 16 per cent excluding the non-recurring effect from AmTrust International. This was primarily due to insurance concepts related to car warranties and insurance concepts for the travel industry. Sales in the Personal Safety segment increased 12 per cent, driven by payment protection insurance in the Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish markets. Sales in the Product segment were 40 per cent lower in than the year-earlier quarter, due entirely to lower sales in consumer electronics, for which the conclusion of the partnership with Power in September had a negative impact on sales. Excluding Power, sales decreased 3 per cent.

Partnerships

During the fourth quarter we signed three agreements to strengthen our partner base. Scandinavian Photo will offer Solid's insurance with the purchase of photography equipment, with an expected launch in spring 2025. Synologen, a Swedish eyewear chain with over one hundred opticians, plans to launch Solid's insurance with the purchase of glasses starting in the first quarter of 2025. Finally, Moank bank will distribute our payment protection insurance, with launch scheduled for summer 2025.

During the period, we also launched our previously announced partnerships with Phonehero for insurance solutions for used mobile phones and Equilo for payment protection insurance.

Financial performance

The technical result for the fourth quarter declined 6 per cent to SEK 35.6 million (38.0). The Product and Personal Safety segments made a positive contribution during the period, while the gross profit in the Assistance segment declined year-on-year. Initiatives were implemented in the Norwegian market during the quarter to improve profitability in the Assistance segment.

In non-technical account, earnings decreased to SEK 7.1 million (33.2), which was primarily due to lower market valuations in the investment portfolio compared to the year-earlier period. Total profit before tax for the quarter decreased to SEK 37.9 million (64.4).

The combined ratio for the fourth quarter amounted to 89.2 per cent (88.8), which was below the company's financial target of <90 per cent. The increase compared with the preceding year was mainly due to relatively higher acquisition costs in the Assistance segment due to a changed partner and product mix. In total, the combined ratio for the full-year amounted to 89.6 per cent (88.0).

Dividends

The Board of Solid Försäkring proposes that the AGM resolve on a dividend of SEK 5.00 per share (4.50), an increase of SEK 0.50 corresponding to 11 per cent compared with 2023 and in line with the current dividend policy. The assessment is that the level is balanced and provides scope for creating value for our shareholders in the future.

Financial stability

Solid Försäkring's financial stability and solvency situation strengthened in the fourth quarter. The solvency capital base improved on the back of positive operating profit for the quarter that was partly offset by the repurchase of own shares. The solvency capital requirement (SCR) increased slightly, but overall the SCR ratio improved from 192 per cent at the end of the September 2024 to 198 per cent at the end of December 2024.

This SCR ratio remains comfortably above the target of 150 per cent.

Marcus Tillberg CEO, Solid Försäkring

The company's earnings

Fourth quarter 2024, October–December

Gross written premiums declined 9 per cent during the quarter to KSEK 260,742 (286,232). Adjusted for a non-recurring effect of SEK 14.5 million related to AmTrust International in Q4 2023 as well as the effect of the concluded partnership with Power, underlying sales increased 10 per cent compared with last year. Sales in the Assistance segment excluding the nonrecurring effect related to AmTrust International increased 16 per cent compared with the previous year, primarily related to insurance solutions for car warranties, with positive contributions from Car Protect in Norway (acquired in 2023) and Svensk Bilhandelsförsäkring (acquired in April 2024) as well as from insurance solutions for travel, where sales increased in relation to Q4 2023 as well as the second and third quarters of 2024. Sales in the Personal Safety segment increased 12 per cent as a result of the positive trend in payment protection insurance in Sweden and Finland, including the new partnerships with Norion Bank, Fairlo and Bliq in the Swedish market. Sales in the Product segment fell 40 per cent compared with the year-earlier period, or 3 per cent excluding the effect of the concluded partnership with Power.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, increased 2 per cent to KSEK 273,103 (268,823). Premiums earned in the Assistance segment increased 10 per cent, primarily related to growth in insurance solutions for car warranties in both Sweden and Norway. Premiums earned in the Personal Safety segment increased 5 per cent primarily related to payment protection insurance in the Swedish and Finnish markets. In the Product segment, premiums earned decreased 12 per cent compared with last year and by 9 per cent excluding Power as a result of an overall decline in sales volumes for the segment.

Technical result declined 6 per cent to KSEK 35,557 (37,951). The Product and Personal Safety segments made a positive contribution during the period, while the Assistance segment made a negative contribution compared with the previous year. Claim costs increased 1 per cent, or KSEK 1,022, but declined compared with the third quarter primarily due to lower claim costs in the Product segment. The claims ratio was in line with last year at 25.9 per cent (25.9) and improved compared with the third quarter of 2024, when the claims ratio amounted to 26.4 per cent.

Operating expenses increased 2 per cent to KSEK 172,859 (169,049) and the expense ratio amounted to 63.3 per cent (62.9). The increase was mainly due to relatively higher acquisition costs in the Assistance segment as a result of a changed product and partner mix and higher administrative expenses, which increased 3 per cent compared with the previous year, primarily due to higher personnel expenses. Administrative expenses as a percentage of premiums earned amounted to 11.3 per

cent (11.1). The combined ratio amounted to 89.2 per cent (88.8).

As a result of developments in the capital markets during the quarter and lower market interest rates, the result of asset management for the fourth quarter decreased KSEK 26,089 to KSEK 7,091 (33,180). Interest income for the quarter decreased KSEK 2,933 compared with last year and amounted to KSEK 16,351. Realised gains on divested holdings amounted to KSEK 5,533 (1,408). The unrealised changes in the value of the investment portfolio amounted to KSEK - 14,165 (12,007). Refer to Note 6 for more detailed information. Net divestments in the investment portfolio amounted to KSEK 46,880 in the fourth quarter.

Profit before tax decreased 41 per cent, or KSEK 26,527, to KSEK 37,875 (64,402). The decline was primarily due to a lower result of asset management.

Profit after tax decreased KSEK 14,338 to KSEK 29,928 (44,266), and basic and diluted earnings per share decreased to SEK 1.65 (2.36) for the quarter.

Performance per quarter (SEK MILLION)

Full-year 2024, January–December

Gross written premiums declined 1 per cent to KSEK 1,103,408 (1,118,179). Adjusted for a non-recurring effect of SEK 14.5 million related to AmTrust International as well as the effect of the concluded partnership with Power, underlying sales increased 4 per cent compared with the previous year. Sales in the Assistance segment increased 7 per cent (11 per cent adjusted for the non-recurring effect related to AmTrust International), driven by growth in insurance solutions for car warranties in both Sweden and Norway.

However, sales of insurance solutions for the travel industry declined in the segment for the full-year. In the Personal Safety segment, sales increased 8 per cent compared with the previous year due to positive growth contributions from the new partnerships.

Sales in the Product segment fell 21 per cent compared with the year-earlier period (9 per cent adjusted for the effect of the concluded partnership with Power), which was due to lower overall sales volumes in the segment during the year owing to the prevailing consumer market conditions.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, increased 3 per cent to KSEK 1,128,588 (1,094,098). In April and August, the earnings pattern for insurance solutions for car warranties with longer maturities in Sweden was adjusted to more adequately match the claims pattern. The positive effect of premiums earned amounted to about SEK 34 million. Excluding the adjustment, premiums earned were in line with the preceding year.

The technical result decreased KSEK 13,525, or 8 per cent, to KSEK 148,774. The Personal Safety segment made a positive contribution, while the Assistance and Product segments declined year-on-year. The adjustment in earnings pattern for insurance solutions for car warranties in Assistance had a positive impact of about SEK 2.3 million. Claim costs increased 8 per cent and the claims ratio rose in all segments year-on-year to 25.2 per cent (24.1).

Operating expenses were 4 per cent higher than the previous year and amounted to KSEK 726,603 (699,538) and the expense ratio increased to 64.4 per cent (63.9), as a result of higher administrative expenses, which increased 7 per cent compared with last year.

Administrative expenses as a percentage of premiums earned amounted to 11.1 per cent, which is in line with expectations but higher than last year when the percentage was 10.7 per cent. The cost increase was primarily related to projects to implement the DORA regulations and a new ERP system as well as higher personnel expenses. The total number of employees at the end of December 2024 was 74 compared with 72 at the end of December last year.

The combined ratio for the period was 89.6 per cent (88.0).

The result of asset management for the period improved to KSEK 90,684 (85,583) and total return from the start of the year amounted to 6.6 per cent (6.2).

Interest income increased KSEK 12,852 during the period and amounted to KSEK 67,107, while capital gains from divested holdings amounted to KSEK 14,041 (8,480). The unrealised change in value in the investment portfolio was positive at KSEK 8,714 (20,231).

Refer to Note 6 for more detailed information. The total value of the investment portfolio on 31 December was KSEK 1,417,322, of which KSEK 343,855 was interestbearing cash and cash equivalents, KSEK 104,274 equities and KSEK 969,193 other interest-bearing assets, mainly bonds at floating interest rates and relatively short durations. Net divestments in the investment portfolio amounted to KSEK 28,029 in the year.

Profit before tax decreased 4 per cent year-on year and totalled KSEK 211,163 (219,776).

Profit after tax was in line with last year at KSEK 164,711 (165,363). Basic and diluted earnings per share increased to SEK 8.99 (8.67) for the full-year.

Financial position, equity and cash flow, 31 December 2024

Equity (2) on 31 December amounted to KSEK 891,947 (847,237) and Net Asset Value (2) to KSEK 868,596 (827,759). For the full-year 2024, annualized RoE (2)* amounted to 18.9 per cent (20.1) and annualised RoNAV (2)** to 20.1 per cent (21.1).

The company's SCR ratio improved to 198 per cent at the end of the fourth quarter of 2024, which is an increase of 6 percentage points compared with the end of September 2024 when the SCR ratio was 192 per cent. The fourth-quarter increase was driven by a stronger solvency capital base, while the SCR increased slightly. The solvency capital base improved on the back of positive operating profit for the quarter that was partly offset by the repurchase of own shares. The marginal increase in solvency capital requirement for the quarter was attributable to slightly lower market risks and slightly higher insurance risks.

Cash flow*** from operating activities amounted to KSEK 95,047 (113,415). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to KSEK 18,755 (-235,645). During the period, investment assets were acquired for KSEK 368,317 and the value of divested and mature investment assets amounted to KSEK 396,347. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to KSEK -121,638 (-117,271). During the period, own shares were repurchased for a corresponding KSEK 38,576 and dividends of KSEK 82,838 were paid to shareholders. Cash and cash equivalents fell to KSEK 343,855 (353,418).

Personal Safety

Fourth quarter 2024, October–December

During the fourth quarter, an agreement was signed with Moank for brokering payment protection insurance. Launch is expected in summer 2025. The expanded partnership with Bliq encompassing brokering payment protection insurance under the framework of the Equilo brand was launched during the period as planned.

Sales (gross written premiums) for the segment rose 12 per cent compared with the year-earlier period. The increase was mainly due to sales of payment protection insurance in the Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian markets, including the new partnerships for payment protection insurance with Norion Bank, Bliq and Fairlo in the Swedish market. Sales also increased (2.6 per cent) compared with the third quarter of 2024, driven by sales growth in the Norwegian, Danish and Finnish markets.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, increased 5 per cent compared with last year and amounted to KSEK 113,291 (107,431). The increase was mainly related to payment protection insurance in Sweden and Finland.

Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, increased KSEK 1,901 to KSEK 12,948 (11,047) driven by claims reported related to payment protection insurance in the Swedish and Finnish markets.

Gross profit increased KSEK 896 to KSEK 30,281 (29,385). The gross margin decreased to 26.7 per cent (27.4) due to relatively higher claim costs and acquisition costs.

Full-year 2024, January–December

Sales (gross written premiums) for the segment increased 8 per cent compared with the year-earlier period, totalling KSEK 423,568 (393,726). Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, increased 9 per cent to KSEK 446,898 (410,843), primarily driven by payment protection insurance in the Swedish and Finnish markets. Sales and premiums earned in Norway decreased compared with the previous year, driven primarily by more restrictive lending from our largest partner as a result of regulatory requirements.

Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, increased KSEK 6,639, mainly related to payment protection insurance in Sweden and Finland, and amounted to KSEK 50,461 (43,822).

Gross profit increased KSEK 11,217, or 10 per cent, to KSEK 122,362 (111,145). The gross margin improved to 27.4 per cent (27.1) primarily due to relatively low acquisition costs.

Sales volumes in the segment decreased 40 per cent to KSEK 54,073 (90,445) compared with the previous year, primarily due to lower sales volumes related to the consumer electronics industry, with the conclusion of the partnership with Power having a negative impact.

Full-year 2024, January–December

Sales (gross written premiums) for the segment decreased 21 per cent to KSEK 266,237 (336,679) compared with the year-earlier period, mainly as a result of the negative sales trend in the durable consumer goods segment.

Assistance (Roadside assistance/Car warranty and travel)

Fourth quarter 2024, October–December

Gross written premiums declined 1 per cent during the quarter to KSEK 96,752 (98,076). Sales in Q4 2023 were positively impacted by a non-recurring effect totalling SEK 14.5 million, related to AmTrust International and the acquisition of Car Protect in Norway. Excluding the non-recurring effect related to AmTrust International, sales increased 16 per cent compared with last year, primarily related to insurance solutions for car warranties, with positive contributions from the acquisition in Norway in 2023 and Svensk Bilhandelsförsäkring in April, as well as from insurance solutions for travel, where sales increased over the previous year as well as the second and third quarters of 2024.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance increased 10 per cent, corresponding to 8,368 KSEK, to KSEK 88,804 (80,436), driven by growth in insurance solutions for car warranties in Sweden and Norway. Premiums earned from insurance solutions for the travel industry were in line with last year.

Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, increased KSEK 1,689 to KSEK 37,559 (35,870). The increase was mainly attributable to insurance solutions for car warranties.

Gross profit fell KSEK 2,105 to KSEK 14,835 (16,940) and the gross margin declined to 16.7 per cent (21.1) mainly as a result of relatively higher acquisition costs due to a changed partner and product mix in the segment.

Full-year 2024, January–December

Gross written premiums increased 7 per cent, corresponding to KSEK 25,829, to KSEK 413,603 (387,774). Adjusted for the non-recurring effect related to AmTrust International in 2023, sales increased 11 per cent compared with last year, driven by growth in insurance solutions for car warranties in both Sweden and Norway. However, sales of insurance solutions for the travel industry declined in the segment compared with the previous year.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, increased 10 per cent or KSEK 35,022 to KSEK 379,790 (344,768). In April and August, the earnings pattern for insurance solutions for car warranties with longer maturities in Sweden was adjusted to more adequately match the claims pattern. The positive effect of premiums earned amounted to about SEK 34 million. Excluding the adjustment, premiums earned were in line with the preceding year.

Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, increased KSEK 24,152 to KSEK 148,070 (123,918). The increase was primarily related to the claim costs trend in insurance solutions for car warranties in Norway and Sweden.

Gross profit fell KSEK 14,762 to KSEK 64,924 (79,686) and the gross margin declined to 17.1 per cent (23.1) mainly as a result of relatively higher claim costs and relatively higher acquisition costs due to a changed partner and product mix in the segment. The adjustment in earnings pattern for insurance solutions for car warranties had a positive impact of about SEK 2.3 million.

Repurchase

At the end of May, following approval from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and in accordance with the Board's proposal, 806,169 shares were cancelled and a bonus issue was carried out to restore restricted equity. The number of shares after the cancellation amounted to 18,477,353.

The Annual General Meeting held on 25 April 2024 resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to authorise the Board to acquire the company's own shares on one more occasions up until the next Annual General Meeting. A new buy-back programme was initiated on 10 May.

The acquisition of own shares may occur of at most as many shares as are needed so that the company's holdings of own shares at any given time do not exceed five per cent of all shares in the company. The purpose of the share buy-back programme is to give the Board an instrument to continuously adapt and improve the company's capital structure and thereby create additional value for the shareholders. In addition, the buy-back programme enables the Board to transfer shares to the participants in LTIP 2024. The intention for the shares that are repurchased and that are not attributable to future delivery of shares in relation to LTIP 2024 is to finally be cancelled by resolutions at future general meetings.

On 31 December 2024, 304,376 own shares had been repurchased from the total mandate of 920,427 shares for a value of KSEK 25,625 at an average price of SEK 84.19. The company also holds 68,809 own shares for a value of KSEK 4,434, which will be used to transfer to participants in LTIP 2023 and that were repurchased within the framework for the buy-back programme that ran from 26 October 2022 to 10 March 2023.

Financial objectives and dividend policy

Solid Försäkring has the following medium-term financial targets:

23 October 2025 Interim report January–September 2025 (Q3)

  • Annual growth in premiums earned of 4–7 per cent (+3 % outcome for full-year 2024) In addition, the company intends to grow through selective acquisitions.
  • Maintain a combined ratio below 90 per cent (89.6 per cent full-year 2024)
  • Achieve a return on RoNAV (2) of more than 14 per cent (20.1 per cent on 31 December 2024)
  • Maintain an SCR ratio of at least 150 per cent (198 per cent on 31 December 2024)

Dividend policy

According to the Board's dividend policy, the company intends to pay an annual dividend corresponding to at least 50 per cent of net profit for the year. The dividend policy is conditional on the target for the SCR ratio and that no potential major acquisitions are carried out.

Proposed dividends for 2024 financial year

The Board of Solid Försäkring intends to propose that the Annual General Meeting resolve on a dividend of SEK 5.00 per share (4.50), which is in line with the Board's dividend policy. The dividend proposal is based on the number of shares outstanding excluding bought-back treasury shares, as per 31 December 2024, which amounted to 18,104,168. Up to the AGM on 24 April 2025, the number of shares outstanding may change due to the ongoing buy-back programme, which could result in a change in the total amount paid in dividends since the bought-back treasury shares will not carry entitlement to dividends.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1 Accounting policies

Solid Försäkring's year-end report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Report and the applicable parts of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act for Insurance Companies (1995:1560), the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority's regulations and general guidelines on Annual Accounts at Insurance Undertakings (FFFS 2019:23), including all applicable amendment regulations, and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. Disclosures pursuant to IAS 34.16A are presented in the financial statements and the accompanying notes as well as elsewhere in this year-end report.

The ESMA guidelines on alternative performance measures are applied. These are performance measures that are not defined in applicable regulations (IFRS, ÅRFL, FFFS 2019:23 and FRL), but that Solid Försäkring believes to be relevant for monitoring and describing the company's financial situation and to provide additional useful information for users of the financial statements. Since these measures have been developed and adapted for Solid Försäkring, they are not fully comparable with similar performance measures presented by other companies.

The same accounting policies and basis for calculations were applied as those used in the most recent annual report. No other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations have come into force since 1 January 2024 that have had a material impact on the company.

Note 2 Segment information

Solid has established three operating segments: Personal Safety, Product and Assistance. These operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal financial reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker. For Solid, the chief operating decision maker is the CEO since this is the person who is responsible for allocating resources and evaluating results. The financial information reported to the CEO, used as a basis for allocating resources and assessing the company's results, as gross profit and gross margin specified by three product areas, which have also been determined as the company's three operating segments: Personal Safety, Product and Assistance. The company uses the same valuation principles in its segment report according to IFRS 8 as in its financial statements.
