Verona, 12 March 2025 - The Board of Directors of REVO Insurance S.p.A., parent company of the REVO Insurance Group, today approved the financial consolidated results as at 31 December 2024.

KEY INDICATORS

The 2024 financial year confirmed the project's solidity, with steady progress across all economic and financial metrics, fully in line with capital strength targets.

  • Gross written premiums of €308.8 million, up 42.8% on the previous year (€216.2 million);
  • Further profitable growth in the Surety sector (accounting for 30.8% of total premiums, up 11.6%), alongside a significant increase in exposure across all other business lines (up 63.1% compared to 2023);

  • Technical profitability remained at an excellent level, despite the delayed reporting of some claims from the extreme events of 2023, with an overall loss ratio of 37.3%1 , significantly improving from the previous year (42.0%);

  • Consolidated net profit of €18.6 million (up 75.8%) and adjusted net profit of €22.6 million;
  • Ongoing IT developments, with €11.6 million in investments, aimed at further enhancing the scalability of OverX and supporting AI-related projects launched during the financial year;
  • Positive contribution from the investment portfolio, surpassing annual targets, driven by a prudent management strategy emphasizing low duration and high diversification;
  • Capital strength confirmed at excellent levels, with a Group Solvency II ratio of 236.7%, calculated using the specific USP parameters2 .

Alberto Minali, Chief Executive Officer of REVO Insurance, commented: "2024 was a turning point: we achieved all our targets and, a year ahead of schedule, met the 2025 premium collection goals after recording exceptional growth in key performance indicators, while fully maintaining capital strength. This achievement reaffirms the quality of our project and the value of our management team. At the same time, our commitment to innovation was strengthened with the launch of the first artificial intelligence initiatives last year— a strategic pillar for the Company's future development. Investments in technology, alongside support for human capital, will continue in a focused and efficient manner, ensuring a balance between innovation and technical profitability, with the goal of generating sustainable value for our stakeholders.."

STRATEGIC PERFORMANCE

During the year, all the strategic objectives announced to the market were achieved. In particular:

  • New improvements to the proprietary OverX platform, including the addition of after-sales functions to ensure excellence in service for the distribution network, delivering even higher standards of speed, control, and quality;
  • Enhancement of the OverX Claims module to drive continuous improvement in claims management processes. This development has significantly increased operational capacity, allowing the team to handle 50% more claims per loss adjuster;
  • A significant evolution of Artificial Intelligence projects, reaffirming the central role of technology in the project. AI is already operational in specific tasks across the Underwriting, Claims Management, and Planning & Control departments, enhancing operational efficiency and productivity;

1 IFRS 17 loss ratio = (gross claims incurred by direct and indirect business) / (gross insurance revenue from reinsurance, commissions and VoBA) 2On 5 February 2025, REVO Insurance obtained authorisation from IVASS, pursuant to Article 45-sexies, paragraph 7, of the Private Insurance Code, to use Undertaking-Specific Parameters ("USPs") and Group-Specific Parameters ("GSPs") for the Credit and Surety classes, starting from the solvency assessment of 31 December 2024.

  • Further expansion of the offering with new solutions and collaborations in both specialty and parametric areas. Enhancement of the Marine range on OverX, including proposals for Goods in Transit on Turnover, Goods Transported by Subscription, and Road Carrier Liability. Completion of the Engineering offering, also on the platform, to protect contractors and companies in both the public and private sectors. Finally, the launch of new Travel & Hospitality solutions, including specialty products like Travel Care Medical Baggage, Travel Care Medical Baggage Cancellation, and the 'Serena Vacanza' parametric policy;
  • The growth trajectory of the parametric offering was confirmed. It includes dedicated solutions for the Energy sector, with specific policies for the multi-utility and photovoltaic industries. Interest from both domestic and transalpine markets (Plage.fr) in alternatives to traditional coverage remains strong: continuing the trend from Q3, the growth rate in the number of policies remains in the triple digits;
  • Progressive expansion of the distribution network, which reached 72 brokers and 118 agencies by the end of the financial year. Concurrent growth in the number of horizontal collaborations initiated by REVO Underwriting (over 250);
  • Continuation of the Company's process of positioning in the Iberian market with the completion of the recruitment of the first-line management team of REVO Iberia in the Business Lines with strategic priority (Surety, Financial Lines, Professional Liability, Property). Confirmation of the scalability of the OverX platform, which is now fully operational and calibrated to the specific needs of the Spanish insurance market. Implementation of strategic actions designed to strengthen relationships with local brokers and create new partnerships;
  • Strengthening of the workforce with the addition of 56 new employees in the Underwriting and Operations areas, particularly within the Data & Analytics office. This aligns fully with the Company's growth strategy, which aims to integrate technological expertise to enhance operational efficiency and support further business development.
  • The achievement of the UNI/PdR 125:2022 gender equality certification, as part of the Company's sustainability efforts, reaffirming its commitment to fostering a work environment increasingly guided by the principles of equity and inclusion.

KEY PLAN AND ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE KPIs

The following table sets out the main economic KPIs of the Business Plan recorded over the last three financial years.

Main KPIs3
- € M
31.12.2022 31.12.2023 31.12.2024 Δ '24 vs '23
GWP 131,388 216,239 308,809 42.8%
Adjusted operating profit 13,879 21,279 35,122 65.1%
Adjusted net profit 10,753 14,801 22,634 52.9%

Investments over the years in human, technological, and distribution capital have enabled REVO to maintain a trajectory of operational growth, evident in all key metrics, with adjusted net profit more than doubling over the analyzed time horizon, alongside a Solvency II Ratio well above the medium-term target.

These indicators not only confirm REVO's ability to achieve significant growth in GWP generation, but also the soundness of its technical performance, which is essential for the profitable long-term development of the project.

The following table summarises the main income statement items recorded during the period:

Main Economics KPIs - € 000 31.12.2024 31.12.2023 Δ '24 vs '23
Insurance revenues deriving from insurance contracts written 220,145 148,949 47.8%

Profit (loss) for the year before tax 23,102 10,142 127.8%
Profit (loss) for the year after tax 18,576 10,566 75.8%

During the year, GWP amounted to €308.8 million, marking a significant increase compared to 2023 (up 42.8%). Progress was recorded across all business lines, except for the Agro business, where a more selective approach was adopted, leading to outstanding technical performance (with a Loss Ratio of 39.5% for the IFRS 17 Agro portfolio).

The Surety line grew by 11.6% during the year, reinforcing the company's leadership in the Italian market within this business segment, with gross written premiums amounting to €95.1 million.

As at 31 December 2024, the business mix is more diversified, fully in line with REVO's objective to become the key player in the SME and professional segment.

It is worth noting that during the year, thanks to the quick decision-making that characterizes the project, several opportunities were strategically seized in the Property sector on terms technically favorable to the Company, contributing to the strong growth of this business line.

3 Adjusted operating profit and adjusted net profit for the 2022 financial year are presented in accordance with IFRS 4 (with minor differences to the IFRS 17 presentation in light of the simplified approach adopted by the Group).

Total 308,809 100.00% 216,239 100.0%

The results for the year are driven by the following dynamics:

  • The loss ratio improved compared to 2023 (37.3% vs. 42.0%), reflecting excellent technical performance in current business despite the late receipt of some claims related to extreme events in 2023. It is worth noting that, as a precautionary measure, the value of the IBNR reserves was further increased by approximately €7.9 million;
  • The acquisition ratio4 for the period stood at 17.1%, up slightly from 16.2% in the 2023 period, mainly due to the different business mix underwritten;
  • Approximately €2.7 million of additional costs for human resources, in addition to IT investments in the year of some € 11.6 million, both largely absorbed by growth in business volumes;
  • The cost ratio5 was significantly lower (19.4% compared to 23.2% in 2023), due to lower insurance costs and other operating expenses as the business grows, confirming the improvement in operating leverage;
  • Reinsurance cost ratio of 12.6%, improving compared to the first half of 2024 (17.3%), but higher than in the 2023 financial year (6.0%), mainly due to the revision of reinsurance commissions as a result of the negative impact of late claims (see above) and the increased cession of claims to treaties recorded during the previous financial year.

4 Acquisition ratio IFRS 17 = (Total purchase commission) / (Insurance revenues before commissions and VoBA).

5 Cost Ratio IFRS 17 = (Total operating expenses net of amortisation of intangible assets + other operating income/expenses) / (Insurance revenues gross of commissions and VoBA).

As a result of these dynamics, the gross COR ratio6 for the period was 85.8%, in line with 2023.

Finally, the positive contribution of the investment portfolio stood at €6.0 million, compared with €4.1 million in 2023. Further diversification of the portfolio continued during the year, with a reduction in the overall exposure to Italy risk (34.1% compared to 37.8% at 31 December 2023), against a greater contribution from non-Italian government bonds (43.7% compared to 42.5%) and high-rated corporate bonds with a short duration (20.1% compared to 15.8%).
