Phoenix has recorded yet another quarter of strong performance and growth across all of the group's activities. The Company continues to operate based on its proven strategy for creating value, accelerated growth in profitable activities, implementing innovation and improving efficiency, actively managing human capital, and efficient allocation of capital and investments.

The quarterly results reflect accelerated growth and a significant increase in profitability in the Asset Management Activity - Wealth & Investments, Distribution (Agencies) and Financing (Credit) and Brokers & Advisors (Agencies). These are well-established, profitable platforms, which generate high cash flows and returns with low capital requirements.

In addition, in this quarter, Phoenix is reporting its results according to the new accounting standards - IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - for the first time. As far as the Insurance Activity is concerned, in addition to the continued growth in Property and Casualty Insurance, the positive effect of the new standards is also evident. In addition to having a positive effect on the Company's profitability, the new standards have increased transparency, and no less importantly - have reduced the volatility of results from one quarter to another. About one third of the Company's shares are held by international investors, and I am convinced that the implementation of the new IFRSs will allow them to optimally understand the Company's performance and strength and will even attract more investors to the Company.

As we reported last quarter, the implementation of the new standards combined with the strong performance in the Asset Management Activity is expected to generate an additional potential income of approx. NIS 400-600 million beyond the comprehensive income target set by the Company for 2027, which totals NIS 2 billion. The Company is expected to update the targets for its various activities during the second half of the year.

Phoenix is deepening its commitment to maximize value for its shareholders through dividend distributions and buybacks. Over the past five years, the Company has distributed approx. NIS 3 billion with an average dividend yield of 5%. The Company's strong performance, constant cash flow and economic strength enable its Board of Directors to update the dividend policy and shift to a quarterly rather than semi-annual distribution. This is a similar approach to leading companies in Israel and around the world.

The Board of Directors and I wish to thank the management team and employees for their performance, cooperation and determination in achieving the Company's goals. Furthermore, we would like to thank management and the employees of the Insurance Company for the successful implementation of the new standards.

Phoenix sincerely wishes for the safe return of all the hostages as soon as possible, the speedy recovery of the wounded and sends its heartfelt sympathies to the families of the fallen. We all hope and pray that unity should prevail over rifts and division among Israel's population, for the good of society and the State of Israel as a whole.

Benjamin Gabbay,

Chairman of the Board

These activities are divided in the Report into seven reporting segments. The Insurance Activity is divided into three segments - Property and Casualty (P&C) Insurance, Health Insurance, Life and Savings.1 The Asset Management Activity is divided into four further segments - Retirement, Wealth & Investments,1 Brokers & Advisors (Agencies) and Financing (Credit).

1.2.2. The Company has various sources of operating income of its subsidiaries, as detailed in the sections dealing with the various operating segments. Following is a breakdown of the comprehensive income attributable to the shareholders in the reporting year (in NIS million post-tax), separately for core income and non-operating income, following the implementation of IFRS 17 in accordance with the periods described below.

1 It is noted that in light of the application of the new accounting standard – IFRS 17 - in Phoenix Insurance, as from this quarter the investment policies activity, which is reported as a segment in Phoenix Insurance, was classified in the Company's finan cial statements into the Wealth & Investments Segment under the Asset Management Activity. In addition, it is noted that the Company has restated the comparative figures, see Section 5 to the Report of the Board of Directors.

1.3. Developments in the group

General

1.3.1. First-time application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9

As from these Financial Statements, the Company and Phoenix Insurance are applying IFRS 17 (hereinafter - the "Standard") and IFRS 9 (hereinafter - the "Standards") for the first time to their financial statements (to Phoenix Insurance); for further details regarding the Standards, see Section 5 below. In light of the first-time-application of the Standard and its positive effect on the Company's profitability, during 2025 the Company intends to assess and revise its strategic targets for 2027, which will reflect the Standard's positive effect and other developments, if any. For further details, see Section 5 below and the immediate report dated September 9, 2024 regarding an update of the Company's strategic targets (Ref. No. 2024-01-601901).

1.3.2. Interest rates, the capital market and inflation

Changes in the risk-free interest rate curve and capital market affect Phoenix Insurance's assets, liabilities, and results of operations. The Company manages the interest risks by taking an overall look at its asset and liability management.

Interest rates - during the Reporting Period, the Bank of Israel left its interest rate unchanged - 4.5%. In addition, in the Reporting Period, the NIS yield curve was up and the illiquidity premium was down; in addition to their effect on the assets, these changes led to a change in assets and liabilities for insurance contracts; for further details, see Section 6.4 below and Note 2 to the Financial Statements.

The capital market - during the Reporting Period, despite the volatility, there were increases in financial markets in Israel and across the world. This increase affects the returns on Nostro assets and planholders' assets, and as of the report publication date. For details regarding the assessment of the Company's profitability by separating core income and non-operating income, see Section 6.4.1 below.

Inflation - during the reporting period, the (known) Consumer Price Index was up by 0.3% compared to an increase of 0.3% in the corresponding period last year.

In the period subsequent to the report date through immediately prior to the Financial Statements' publication date, fluctuations continued in financial markets in Israel and across the world concurrently with an 1.1% increase in the CPI in April; these changes brought about real losses in the Nostro liquid portfolio. On the other hand, there was an increase in the risk-free interest rate curve and a decrease in liquidity premium, which may trigger a change in assets and liabilities for insurance contracts.

At this stage, it is impossible to assess future developments in the market and the interest rate curve and their effect on the results of the second quarter of 2025, and therefore the above does not constitute an assessment of the Company's results in the second quarter of 2025.

For further details regarding the changes in the interest rate and in the interest rate curve, the capital markets and inflation rates, see Section 3 to the Report of the Board of Directors; for effects on the Company's financial results and sensitivity tests, see Section 5 to the Report of the Board of Directors. As to the effect of the changes in the NIS yield curve and in capital markets on Phoenix Insurance's solvency ratio, see Section 2.1.6 below, and Section 8 in Phoenix Insurance's Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024.

1.3.3. The Iron Swords War

On October 7, 2023, the Iron Swords War between the State of Israel and the Gaza-based "Hamas" terror organization broke out (hereinafter - the "War"), following a murderous attack by Hamas on localities in southern Israel. In addition to the War in Gaza, Israel is involved in an armed conflict and military operational activity of varying intensities and in a number of fronts. The War and all of the activities in the various fronts have an adverse effect on the Israeli economy. As of the report publication date, the fighting in Gaza was resumed at varying intensity.

Due to the War, the international rating agencies downgraded the State of Israel's credit rating. The abovementioned rating downgrade also affected Phoenix Insurance's international rating. However, on March 26, 2025, the international credit rating agency Moody's reiterated Phoenix Insurance's Baa1 existing rating and changed the rating outlook from negative to stable, due to, among other things, Phoenix Insurance's ability to maintain the resilience of its capital surplus and liquidity and its high and stable level of profits since the outbreak of the War. For further details, see the immediate report dated March 26, 2025 (Ref. No.: 2025-01-020871).

Due to its activity, the Phoenix group is exposed to slumps on the financial markets and to slowdown, as well as to other risks arising from the War. For information regarding sensitivity and exposure to risk factors, see also Note 41 to the Periodic Report.

At this stage, there is uncertainty as to the development of the War, its scope and duration. Therefore, at this stage it is impossible to assess the full effect of the War on the Company and its results in the medium term; however, as of the report publication date, this effect is not expected to be material.

2. Description of the Business Environment

2.1. Implementation of the provisions of the economic solvency regime applicable to Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd.

2.1.1. Provisions regarding the implementation of the Economic Solvency Regime

Phoenix Insurance is subject to the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime in accordance with the provisions of Circular 2020-1-15 of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") - "Amendment to the Consolidated Circular concerning Implementation of a Solvency II-Based Economic Solvency Regime for Insurance Companies" (hereinafter - the "Economic Solvency Regime"), which was published on October 14, 2020. The Economic Solvency Regime is a regulatory directive that regulates capital requirements and risk management processes among insurance companies. The Economic Solvency Regime sets a standard model for calculating eligible own funds and the regulatory solvency capital requirement, with the aim of bringing insurance companies to hold buffers to absorb losses arising from the materialization of unexpected risks to which they are exposed. The solvency ratio is the ratio between an insurance company's economic shareholders' equity recognized for solvency purposes and the capital requirement.

2.1.2. Increasing economic capital according to the Provisions for the Transitional Period

Phoenix Insurance opted for the alternative provided by the Economic Solvency Regime regarding the Provisions for the Transitional Period, whereby the economic capital may be increased by gradually deducting from the insurance reserves until 2032 (hereinafter - the "Deduction during the Transitional Period"). This amount matches the expected increase rate in Phoenix Insurance's capital surplus during the Transitional Period, and reflects, at the very least, the expected expiry of the solvency capital requirements (SCR) and the risk margin of the existing portfolio as of the calculation date. For further details regarding the recalculation of the Deduction for the Transitional Period, see Section 3.1.5 below and 2A(2) in the Solvency Ratio Report dated December 31, 2024.

2.1.3. Publication of Economic Solvency Ratio Report

In accordance with the Consolidated Circular, the Economic Solvency Ratio Report for the December 31 and June 30 data of each year shall be included in the first

periodic report published after the calculation date. Furthermore, in view of the listing of Additional Tier 1 capital on the main list, and in accordance with Phoenix Insurance's undertakings under the deed of trust, as from 2023 the Company publishes an estimated quarterly solvency ratio as of March 31 and September 30, as part of the periodic report published following the calculation date. The calculation of the estimated quarterly solvency ratio is not audited or reviewed by the independent auditor, and the controls conducted by Phoenix Insurance for the purpose of publishing the estimated ratio are less in scope compared to those executed for the purpose of publishing the Solvency Ratio Report, which is published in accordance with the Commissioner's directives. If the Company's solvency ratio goes down to 120% or less, it will publish a full Solvency Ratio Report each quarter in a semi-annual format, instead of an estimated ratio.

2.1.4.1. Restrictions on dividend distribution and solvency ratio without the implementation of the Provisions for the Transitional Period

Dividend

According to the letter published by the Commissioner, in October 2017, (hereinafter - the "Dividend Distribution Letter") an insurance company shall be entitled to distribute a dividend only if, following the distribution, the company has a solvency ratio - according to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime - of at least 100%, calculated without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period and subject to the solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors. The aforesaid ratio shall be calculated without the relief granted for the original difference attributable to the acquisition of the provident funds and management companies. In addition, the letter set out provisions for reporting to the Commissioner.

Phoenix Insurance's policy is to have a solid capital base to ensure its solvency and ability to meet its liabilities to policyholders, to preserve Phoenix Insurance's ability to continue its business activity such that it is able to provide returns to its shareholders. Phoenix Insurance is subject to capital requirements set by the Commissioner.

Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors has set a minimum economic solvency ratio target and target range based on Solvency II. The economic solvency ratio target range, within which Phoenix Insurance seeks to be during and at the end of the Transitional Period, taking into account the Deduction during the Transitional Period and its gradual reduction is 150%- 170%.

The minimum economic solvency ratio target, taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period, was set at 135%, and the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the provisions during the Transitional Period is set to reach 135% at the end of the Transitional Period according to the Company's capital plan.

On December 30, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors decided to increase the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the provisions during the Transitional Period by further 3 percentage points from 118% to 121%, beginning on December 31, 2024 as part of Phoenix Insurance's preparations for increasing the minimum solvency ratio target by the end of the Transitional Period.

Therefore, as of December 31, 2024, the calculation date, the Company has capital surplus with respect to the set targets, as described in the table below. It is hereby clarified that the aforesaid does not guarantee that Phoenix Insurance will meet the set capital targets at all times.

2.1.4.2. Solvency ratio without applying the Provisions for the Transitional Period

The following are data as published in the latest economic Solvency Ratio Report published by Phoenix Insurance, about the economic solvency ratio calculated without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period and the solvency ratio target set by Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors, as required in the letter referred to above. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, this ratio is higher than the target set by the Board of Directors.

2.1.5. Equity transactions and significant updates in 2024 until the report publication date

2.1.5.1. In January 2024, approx. NIS 400 million in Bonds (Series D) were redeemed; the redemption referred to above does not affect the solvency ratio as of December 31, 2023 in view of the surplus Tier 2 capital that the Company holds in excess of the quantitative limit (immediate report dated January 2, 2024, Ref. No.: 2024-01-000765).

2.1.5.2. In August 2024, Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors decided - given Phoenix Insurance's distributable retained earnings and solvency ratio, to distribute a NIS 250 million dividend, after compliance with the solvency ratio targets and the distribution tests as per the Companies Law.

2.1.5.3. On October 2024, approx. NIS 298 million in Bonds (Series J) were redeemed (immediate report dated October 14, 2024, Ref. No.: 2024-01-610850).

2.1.5.4. On December 30, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors made the following decisions:

2.1.5.4.1. To increase the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the provisions during the Transitional Period by further 3 percentage points from 118% to 121%, beginning on December 31, 2024 as part of Phoenix Insurance's preparations for increasing the minimum solvency ratio target by the end of the Transitional Period.

2.1.5.4.2. In December 2024, an in-kind dividend distribution of assets totaling approx. NIS 1.4 billion (economic value of NIS 1.2 billion) was approved. Through the Solvency Ratio Report publication date, the following assets were distributed in practice out of the abovementioned economic value: the loans of Phoenix Mortgages (Gold) Ltd. totaling approx. NIS 574 million, the Company's shares in Bizi Finance Ltd. totaling approx. NIS 19 million, the Company's participation units in Leader Capital Markets & Investments Limited Partnership totaling approx. NIS 6 million and the Company's shares in El Al Frequent Flyer Ltd. which are recorded at a zero economic value in the economic balance sheet.

The Company's rights in the assets known as Block 6154, Parcels 931 and 932 in Givatayim (hereinafter - "Beit Havered") totaling approx. 614 million have not yet been distributed and the carrying amount of the distribution of the Company's stake in Phoenix Mortgages (Gold) Ltd.'s shares is immaterial.

Calculation of the solvency ratio as of December 31, 2024 includes all the distributions which were completed; should the distributions be completed, they will result in approx. 5% decrease in the solvency ratio without applying the Provisions for the Transitional Period.

For further details regarding the said Board of Directors decision, see immediate report of December 31, 2024 (Ref. No. 2024-01-628752) and Section 1.3.8.4 above.

2.1.5.6. The Company is preparing for the application of the Stochastic Model to calculate the optimal actuarial estimate of asymmetric insurance liability flows, including future variable management fees in the participating policies portfolio. The Company believes that the application of the Stochastic Model has a positive effect, which is expected to increase the solvency ratio with and without the application of the Provisions for the Transitional Period; at this stage, the Company is unable to quantify the effect on the solvency ratio. It is also noted that the process is subject to an audit of the independent auditors and to the Commissioner's approval.

2.1.6. Sensitivity to changes in the interest rate curves

Changes in the linked risk-free yield curve affect the Company's economic solvency ratio, especially in the mid- to long-terms, affect Phoenix Insurance's economic solvency ratio.

Phoenix Insurance estimated the sensitivity of the economic solvency ratio - taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period and adjusting the stock scenario in the risk-free interest (both in Israel and abroad) - at a 50 bps decrease, based on the results of the calculation and data of the economic solvency ratio as of December 31, 2024. The estimation resulted in a decrease of approx. 11% in the economic solvency ratio (after applying the Provisions for the Transitional Period).

It is noted that the sensitivity is not necessarily linear; i.e., sensitivity at other rates is not necessarily a simple extrapolation of the sensitivity test presented.

For the results of the sensitivity tests of the economic solvency ratio to various risk factors, see Section 8 to Phoenix Insurance's Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024.

2.2. Arrangements in force

Following are material regulatory directives published during the Reporting Period and thereafter, and which are not included in the Report on the Corporation's Business for 2024. For details regarding material regulatory directives published during the Reporting Period, see Section 4.1.1 to the 2024 Report on the Corporation's Business

2 The risk-free linked interest rate curves were taken from Fair Spread Ltd. To calculate the solvency ratio, the Company takes into account other components in addition to the risk -free interest rate.

2.2.1. In February 2025, the Capital Market Authority published a clarification letter regarding the target solvency ratio. An insurance company which implements an economic solvency regime may distribute a dividend, if subsequent to the distribution the company has a solvency ratio of at least 100%, and subject to the full ratio target set by the company's board of directors. The letter includes examples of inappropriate practices in the process of determining the capital target. Accordingly, it was determined that insurance companies should look into the methodology for conducting sensitivity tests designed to determine the capital target, in order to verify that the capital target is sufficient and ensures the company's resilience given the company's exposure to the various risk factors. The letter details several practices, which the Commissioner deems appropriate, for assessing the various sensitivity tests, and warns that in cases of deviation from these practices, the Commissioner will consider using their statutory powers, including supervisory and control actions and issuance of orders to rectify deficiencies.

2.2.2. In April 2024, the Capital Market Authority published a letter regarding the calculation of deduction during the Transitional Period in an economic solvency regime under IFRS 17. In accordance with the Consolidated Circular's provisions regarding "Economic Solvency Regime", an insurance company may, after receiving the Capital Market Commissioner's approval, include a deduction during the Transitional Period in the calculation of insurance reserves, in accordance with the definitions set in the provisions through the end of 2032 (hereinafter - the "Deduction"). In a letter published by the Authority in October 2020, principles were set for calculating the deduction, approving its inclusion in the calculation of the insurance reserves in the Transitional Period, the manner of monitoring the appropriateness of the inclusion of the deduction in the Transitional Period and related requirements, which will apply to an insurance company whose application will be approved as detailed above (hereinafter - the "Letter of Principles"). The purpose of the latest letter is to revise the method applied in the calculation of the deduction, such that it will no longer rely on financial statement data, which include a calculation of insurance liabilities in accordance with IFRS 4. The letter sets rules regarding the calculation of the deduction subsequent to the implementation of IFRS 17, which amend the rules set in the Letter of Principles.

2.3. Draft laws, regulations and bills

Following are drafts of material regulatory provisions published during the Reporting Period and thereafter, which are not included in the 2024 Report on the Corporation's Business. For details regarding additional drafts of material regulatory provisions published during the Reporting Period, see Section 4.1 to the 2024 Report.

2.3.1. In February 2025, the Privacy Protection Authority published a draft for public comment of a pronouncement dealing with the consent principle in privacy protection laws. In the pronouncement, the Authority presents and clarifies its position regarding the application of the consent principle in light of the evolving digital reality, and regarding the scope of the Privacy Protection Law, 1981. It is clarified that the pronouncement reflects the legal interpretation, which the Authority will apply in exercising its various statutory powers, including monitoring compliance with the provisions of the law and imposing an administrative penalty or a financial sanction for breaching its provisions. The

pronouncement deals, among other things, with the following matters: The content of the request for informed consent; free will, power imbalances and "suspicious" consent; the manner in which consent is obtained; data processing without consent; and withdrawal of consent.

2.3.2. In April 2025, the Capital Market Authority published the Revision to the Provisions of the Consolidated Circular - "Report to the Public" and "Reporting to the Commissioner of the Capital Market" - Date of Reporting the Economic Solvency Ratio Report and the Solvency Reporting File - Draft. In the "Report to the Public" chapter to the consolidated circular, it was determined that an insurance company will include an Economic Solvency Ratio Report in the periodic report published subsequent to the reporting date. In addition, the "Reporting to the Commissioner of the Capital Market" chapter to the consolidated circular prescribes that an insurance company will report the solvency reporting files to the Commissioner of the Capital Market up to two months from the end of the quarter subsequent to the calculation date. In the lead-up to the application of IFRS 17, it is proposed to prescribe in the draft that an Economic Solvency Ratio Report and a solvency file report will be submitted together with the Financial Statements as of that date, as from the Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of June 30, 2026. In addition, the draft proposes adjustments to the disclosure and reporting format, in order to adapt them to the IFRS 17 balance sheet, starting with the Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of June 30, 2025.

2.3.3. In April 2025, the Capital Market Authority published a Draft Resolution in Principle on Indemnity for Diagnostic Tests. The draft resolution deals with the insurance coverage for diagnostic tests sold in the Israeli insurance market. According to the draft, several companies have started offering to the public a service as part of which they schedule diagnostic tests in hospitals in exchange for an amount comprising the test's cost plus an appointment scheduling brokerage fee. The draft proposes to instruct the insurance companies as follows: (a) The indemnity by the insurance companies for a diagnostic test will be in line with the test's price in the hospital in which the test was conducted, subject to the policy's terms. The insurance company is entitled not to indemnify the policyholder for related expenses of a diagnostic test, including expenses paid by the policyholder to brokerage companies for the scheduling of an appointment, if payment for such related expenses is not explicitly prescribed in the insurance policy; (b) if the ambulatory plan, which includes coverage for diagnostic tests, does not include the clarifications listed in the section, the insurance company will send a notice to the policyholder regarding the manner by which the claim will be settled under Subsection (a) within 30 business days from the publication date of this resolution, and ensure that it has evidence that the policyholder received the notice; (c) with regard to insured events, which occurred through the publication date of this resolution, and whose claim was settled, the insurance company will not act to re-settle these claims.

2.3.4. In April 2025, the Privacy Protection Authority published a draft for public comment of guidance regarding the applicability of the Privacy Protection Law to artificial intelligence systems. The guidance draft defines for the first time the application of the Privacy Protection Law's provisions throughout the artificial intelligence (AI) systems' lifecycle, from the model training stage to actual use. The following are the main provisions

of the guidance: (1) The Privacy Protection Law applies to artificial intelligence systems and their output; (2) one should ensure that there is a legal basis for the processing of personal information at each stage of the AI system's lifecycle; (3) one should obtain a person's consent to the processing of their personal information by an AI system; (4) the scraping of personal information on the web for the purpose of developing (training) artificial intelligence models, requires the informed consent of the data subject for this use; (5) owners of digital services, which allow personal data sharing on the internet, are obligated to take measures to prevent prohibited data scraping from their platforms; (6) in artificial intelligence systems, the right to request the correction of incorrect personal information may also apply to the correction of the algorithm, which generated the information; and (7) the Authority intends to ensure the enforcement of the mandatory appointment of a privacy protection officer and to continue promoting the methodology of a privacy impact assessment.

2.3.5. In April 2024, the Taskforce for Assessing the Measures to Increase Retail Banking Competition in the Banking System published its interim report. The taskforce's goal is to promote competition in the banking system and in services provided by banking corporations to the retail sector, by removing barriers and thereby enabling the entry of additional players into the banking system, maintaining the stability and interests of customers and providing a solution to conflicts of interest, which may arise from the holdings structure of those additional players. The following is a summary of the main recommendations included in the interim report: (1) Currently, in general, there is only one level of licensing in the Israeli banking market, which is the "banking corporation", with no distinction between different banking corporations based on the scope of their operations. It is proposed to set two licensing levels for banking corporations, based on scope of activity: a "bank" and a "small bank", defined as a bank, the value of whose assets does not exceed 5% of the value of the assets of all banks in Israel; (2) currently only banking corporations are allowed to receive deposits from the public and provide credit from the deposits.

It is also proposed to allow a small bank to receive deposits from the public and extend credit from those deposits; (3) it is proposed to create a correlation between the scope of supervision and regulation that applies to a banking corporation and the assets under management by setting three levels of regulation: first level - assets under management of up to NIS 15 billion, second level - assets of between NIS 15 billion and NIS 50 billion, and third - assets under management of more than NIS 50 billion; (4) it is proposed that a small bank will not be permitted to engage in investment advice, savings, marketing, etc.; however, it is proposed to permit a small bank to engage in property and casualty insurance brokerage and digital pension advice. In addition, it is proposed to exempt small banks from offering all the services that banks are currently required to offer by virtue of the law, such as opening current accounts; (5) it is proposed to permit financial holding companies, which control an institutional entity, to also control a small bank, provided that the value of the assets of the small bank does not exceed 2.5% of the value of the assets of all banks in Israel, with the option of increasing the asset limit to 5% of the total assets in the banking system at the approval of the Minister of Finance and the Governor of the Bank of Israel; (6) it is proposed to revise the Banking Law (Licensing), such that the requirement to obtain a holding permit regarding a small bank will apply only if the holding threshold of 10% of a certain type of means of control in the small bank is exceeded (instead of the 5% threshold currently set in the law), in order to facilitate the entry of new players into the banking system.

3.2. Trends, events and developments in the macroeconomic environment

Following is a summary description of trends, events and developments in the Group's macroeconomic environment, which have or are expected to have an effect on the Group.

3.2.1. Financial markets in Israel

In the first quarter of 2025, the Israeli economy continued to operate under the shadow of geopolitical and political developments. Towards the end of January, a ceasefire agreement was signed between Israel and Hamas, under which hostages were released – an event that reduced uncertainty, as reflected in the risk premium metrics. However, towards the end of the quarter, security tensions in the south increased again, alongside increasing political tensions – factors that reintroduced uncertainty to the domestic market. The rating agencies did not change Israel's credit rating but emphasized the growing risk of irresponsible political conduct. The 5-year CDS declined during the quarter to 90 basis points compared to 101 basis points at the end of 2024 – but remained relatively high.

On the economic side, the data published during the quarter indicated a moderate improvement in activity – as seen in the Bank of Israel's Composite State-of-the-Economy Index, credit card spending data and the Central Bureau of Statistics' business trends survey. The job market maintained an unemployment rate of 2.8% in February (adjusted for seasonality) and approx. 141 thousand vacancies. The inflation environment recorded an increase upon the start of the year, mainly due to the effect of governmental measures such as the increase in VAT. However, inflation expectations in the capital market declined significantly throughout the curve during the quarter. The Bank of Israel left its interest rate unchanged in February at 4.50%. The government deficit in February stood at 5.3% (Ministry of Finance data), after an annual level of 6.9% in 2024.

On the capital market, during the period under review, the TA 125 index increased by 0.8%. In the bonds market, yields on government bonds remained relatively stable during the period under review, and the 10-year yield increased by only approx. 4 basis points to 4.51%. In the corporate market, the Tel Bond 60 rose by 0.3%. In the foreign currency market - during the period under review, the NIS has devalued to a level of NIS 3.72 per USD 1 and devalued by approx. 6.7% against the EUR. reaching a level of NIS 4.03 per EUR 1.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date and through the report publication date

The second quarter of 2025 started with the Bank of Israel's interest rate decision, which left the interest rate unchanged at 4.50%, concurrently with the revision of economic forecasts. The Bank of Israel revised the growth forecast for 2025 downward from 4.0% to 3.5%, due to, among other things, the effect of the new tariff policy announced by the US government. The Bank estimates that in the coming year the interest rate will decline to 4.00% (2 interest rate cuts of 25 basis points each). The Consumer Price Index increased in March by 0.5%, but annual inflation has continued to slightly subside from 3.4% to 3.3%. With regard to economic activity, the Composite State-of-the-Economy Index for March recorded an increase of 0.25%, in line with the increases in the January-February indices. The Bank of Israel noted that the data reflect a continued slightly moderate growth in economic activity. In March, the government deficit decreased slightly to 5.2%, and the deficit cap for 2025 was set in law to 4.9%.

In the capital market, in total, during the period subsequent to the balance sheet date and through the publication date, the TA 125 Index was up by 9.8%, the yield on 10-year government bonds was up by approx. 6 base points to 4.57%, the Tel Bond 60 Index was up by 0.9%, the NIS strengthened by approx. 4.4% against the USD, reaching a level of NIS 3.55 per USD 1 but devalued by approx. 0.7% against the EUR reaching a level of NIS 4.05 per EUR 1.

3.2.2. Capital markets abroad

The American economy has started 2025 with President Donald Trump taking office; Trump hit the ground with statements regarding the strengthening of the economy, and the new administration's key message was that the in order to achieve economic improvement Americans would be required to pay a price in the short term. The markets' main concern was an immediate imposition of large-scale tariffs, and this came to be as the days passed,

especially concerning countries such as China, Mexico and Canada. Concurrently, Trump has set up the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Elon Musk, which is designed to cut federal spending. In terms of soft economic data, surveys and indices for the first quarter - led by the Purchasing Managers Index and the Consumer Confidence Index - started to indicate growing concerns about a sharp economic slowdown. However, the "hard" data, i.e., data based on actual performance, continued to point to an economy, which is growing at a moderate but stable pace. For example, job market data in February indicated an addition of 102 thousand jobs, with an unemployment rate of 4.1%. The Consumer Price Index in February increased by 0.2%, and annual inflation was 2.8%. In the interest decision made towards the end of the first quarter, the Federal Reserve left the interest rate unchanged. The Federal Reserve revised the economic forecasts, which reflected - for the first time - the expected effect of the tariffs. The new forecasts indicated a slightly higher inflation this year, but the interest rate forecast continued to indicate 2 cuts through the end of the year, since concurrently with the uptick in inflation projections, the Federal Reserve also expects a slight slowdown in the growth rate.

In its latest interest rate decision made at the beginning of March, the European Central Bank (ECB) continued the process of cutting the interest rate with a further cut of 25 basis points to a level of 2.50% (deposit interest). The 2025 growth forecast was revised upwards from 1.1% to 0.9%, and the inflation was revised upwards - from 2.1% to 2.3%. In Germany, Friedrich Mertz, who was elected as the next chancellor, announced a series of dramatic fiscal moves, which include the expansion of public investments, mainly in the fields of security and infrastructure.

During the first quarter of 2025, equity indices on Wall Street recorded high volatility due to the tariff policy, and concerns regarding inflation and economic slowdown. The S&P 500 declined by 4.6%. In the US bonds market, the yield on 10-year government bonds decreased by approx. 36 base points to approx. 4.20%. In Europe, the EURO-STOXX 600 index was up by 5.2%. In the first quarter, the EUR appreciated by approx. 4.5% against the USD, reaching a level of 1.08.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date and through the report publication date

The second quarter of the year started with Trump's big tariff plan – "Liberation Day"; while markets expects "reciprocal" tariffs, Trump surprised with relatively aggressive tariffs, which led to a particularly negative sentiment among investors. Consequently, within a few days, the stock indices on Wall Street recorded particularly sharp slumps, concurrently with a sharp rise in yields in the bond market. A few days later, the administration decided to make a U-turn, and Trump announced a 90-day deferral of the tariff imposition, except with regard to China. Bringing forward purchases and stockpiling has boosted the import of goods by over 50%, which alone cut almost 5 percentage points of the growth. On the other hand, private spending, the main growth engine, grew at a solid rate of 1.8%. The US job market continued to demonstrate robustness in April, with an addition of 177 thousand vacancies (138 thousand were forecast), alongside an unemployment rate, which remained stable at 4.2%. The Consumer Price Index saw a surprising decline in March with a monthly decrease of 0.1%, and annual inflation subsided from 2.8% to 2.4%. The Federal Reserve left the interest rate unchanged for the third time in a row, due to the high level of uncertainty associated with the effect of the tariffs. The interest rate announcement reflected the

increased risks associated with the Federal Reserve's two key policy targets – a potential rise in unemployment and inflation, which indicates a difficult challenge, since it is required to consider which of the risks is expected to tip the scale down the road.

In Europe, the European Central Bank (ECB) cut the interest rate in April by 25 basis points to 2.25% (deposit interest), with concerns of increased risks to economic activity due to the trade war.

In the USA, as of the end of the period subsequent to the balance sheet date until the publication date, the 10-year yield was up by approx. 28 base points to 4.51%, and the S&P 500 was up by 3.4%. In Europe, the EURO-STOXX 600 index has risen by 3.1%, and the EUR has appreciated by approx. 5.3% against the USD, reaching a rate of 1.14.

4. Business Targets and Strategy

The Company's strategy, roadmap and targets constitute forward-looking information, as defined in Section 32A of the Securities Law and are based on the data and information available to the Group as of the report date, its plans as a result thereof, the market situation and the Group's position. The Group's business strategy and targets may change from time to time. In addition, the achievement of the Group's targets and strategy is uncertain and is not under the exclusive control of the Company. The Group's business strategy and targets may not materialize due to, among other things, changes in the Company's priorities, new needs of the Company, market developments, macroeconomic changes, other business opportunities, etc.

4.1 Strategy

The Israeli market benefits from stable, strong long-term trends, which include an increase in total assets held by the public, demographic growth and strong demand trends in the domestic market. Phoenix's value creation strategy is based on these trends and, accordingly, on four value drivers: accelerated growth focusing on high returns; innovation and efficiency to enhance competitive advantage; active management and people development; and capital and investment management.

4.2 Strategic roadmap

Phoenix accelerates growth through strong platforms characterized by high margins and multiples, economies of scale and capital efficiency, and implements the strategy in each of its business lines.

4.2.1 Asset Management

In its Wealth & Investments Segment, the Company focuses on accelerated growth while making the most of market leadership, economies of scale, and digital platforms in the Investment House, creating unique value propositions, which include differentiated products for qualified clients in the Alternatives & Wealth business, and focusing on efficiency and profitability in Retirement. In addition, the Company works to achieve accelerated growth in agencies owned by the Company in order to generate value in Phoenix Agencies as an independent company based on technology, service, and expansion of the financial product offering. In its Financing (Credit) Segment, the Company works to achieve accelerated growth and increase market share among SMEs and in the construction financing activity by utilizing management capabilities, banking experience and advanced technological infrastructure; the Company also works to accelerate the consumer credit platform.

4.2.2 Insurance

In the Insurance Activity, Phoenix broadens its competitive advantages, which include data and technology for accelerated growth in P&C Insurance and other activities with a high return on equity, by improving processes using technological tools and hybrid distribution both through agents and through direct distribution. Additionally, the Company is seeking

to optimize its business mix, distribution channels, operations (including digitization, automation, accessible self-service), claims management and capital management.

4.3 Cash flow

Focusing on Asset Management and Insurance activities generates stable cash flows characterized by low volatility. The Company's lines of business are well established and efficient and do not require a substantial increase in capital in order to continue growing. Furthermore, the Company maintains high liquidity and low leverage levels. The strong cash flow enables regular distribution of dividends and share buybacks concurrently with reinvestment in the business for the purpose of accelerating growth and acquisitions.

4.4 Targets

The Company periodically reviews its plans and objectives in light of market trends and Company's performance. In September 2024, the Company published its strategic targets for 2027 as detailed below, which are based on the Company's strategy. Phoenix has published a growth target of NIS 2 billion in core income with 16-18% in return on equity by 2027. Furthermore, the Company has set a target to distribute at least 50% of comprehensive income as dividends and buybacks. In March 2025, the Company reported that, due to the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 (hereinafter - the "Standards") and their expected positive effect on the Company's profitability in the Insurance Activity and due to overperformance, which was not taken into account in the target plan published in September 2024, the Company believes that there is an additional potential core income totaling approx. NIS 400-600 million beyond the published income target.

The Company plans to reassess and revise - during 2025 - all its targets for 2027, which will reflect the positive impact of the standard and other developments, if any.

For further details regarding the Strategic Plan, see the presentation regarding the Strategic Targets Map for 2027 as published by the Company on September 9, 2024.

5. Key Effects of the Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 on the Company's Financial Statements

5.1. First-time application date

The Group's first-time application date of IFRS 17 (hereinafter in this section - "IFRS 17" or the "Standard") regarding insurance contracts, which superseded IFRS 4 - Insurance Contracts - was January 1, 2025. As stated in Note 2, in light of the postponement of the application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, the Group initially adopted IFRS on January 1, 2025, and the transition date to IFRS reporting is January 1, 2024. The effect of the transition to IFRS reporting, including the effect of the application of IFRS 17 on the Group's financial position, operating results is detailed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements.

5.2. Company's assessments regarding the implementation of IFRS 17 (hereinafter - the "Standard") and IFRS 9 (hereinafter - "IFRS 9") (hereinafter - the "New Standards") in the Company's Financial Statements

For the purpose of the preparations made by insurance companies in Israel for the adoption of IFRS 17, the Commissioner published insurance circulars entitled Professional Issues Pertaining to the Application of IFRS 17 in Israel (hereinafter - the "Professional Issues Circulars"), a roadmap for the adoption of IFRS 17 in Israel. The accounting policies described below are based, among other things, on theses circulars. Through the first-time application date, the Company has completed the main milestones in the roadmap as follows:

    1. QIS 2 Report to the Commissioner on financial data in accordance with the Standards, comprising the statement of financial position (pro forma balance sheet), including a separate disclosure of the contractual service margin (CSM) and risk adjustment (RA) for each of the operating segments, and disclosure of the balance of the credit loss provision as of January 1, 2024 (the transition date) and March 31, 2024, as well as reporting regarding statement of comprehensive income line items (pro forma statement of income) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024. These financial statements are neither reviewed nor audited by the independent auditors.
    1. QIS 3 Report to the Commissioner on financial data in accordance with the New Standards, which includes a statement of financial position (pro forma balance sheet) as of January 1, 2024 and June 30, 2024. as well as reporting regarding statement of comprehensive income line items (pro forma statement of income) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024. These financial statements are neither reviewed nor

audited by the independent auditors.

In addition, the Company has completed the implementation and integration of a new dedicated IT system for the Standard's application and mapped the required controls and flow of information to the Financial Statements.

Furthermore, the Company conducted reviews and training sessions for the business teams and members of the Balance Sheet Committee in connection with the integration, business analysis and understanding of the standard's implications.

The New Standards affect the reported results and financial position of the Company's Insurance Activity, with no effect on its financial reporting on other activities; the main affect will be manifested in the Life Insurance and Health Insurance Activities. The underlying concept of IFRS 17 is the assessment of the expected results for the entire coverage period at the initial recognition date of the contract, and recognizing the expected income - the "contractual service margin" ("CSM") - over the coverage period in accordance with the various products. Changes in estimates attributed to the insurance activity will revise the CSM until it reaches zero.

IFRS 9 sets categories for classification of investments in financial assets and classification of debt instruments in accordance with the Company's model for the management of its financial assets, and in accordance with the question of whether the contractual terms of the cash flows reflect solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI").

The New Standards simplify the insurance business by, among other things, creating a separation between the different sources of income of the insurance companies, while separating the revenues from insurance services from investment income. In addition, the application of IFRS 17 is expected to reduce the volatility of the underwriting financial results following revision of the studies. Furthermore, the Standards will bring about a better alignment of the financial assets held against insurance liabilities and their measurement at fair value through profit and loss. For further details, see Note 2 to the Financial Statements.

The Company is preparing for the application of the Stochastic Model to calculate the optimal actuarial estimate of asymmetric insurance liability flows, including future variable management fees in the participating policies portfolio. The Company believes that the application of the Stochastic Model will have a positive effect, which is expected to increase the contractual service margin (CSM) in the Life Insurance Subsegment. At this stage, the Company is unable to quantify the financial effect. It is also noted that the process is subject to an audit of the independent auditors and to the Commissioner's approval.

5.3. Analysis of the effects of the application of IFRS 17 on the Insurance Activity's results for the first quarter of 2024 and the 2024 results

5.3.1. Main effects of the application of IFRS 17 compared to IFRS 4

Key effects of changes between the comprehensive income in life, health and P&C insurance as compared between IFRS 17 and IFRS 4:

    1. The effect of financial changes on insurance liabilities accumulation of interest expenses and the effect of changes in the risk-free interest rate curve, the illiquidity premium and the CPI on liabilities for insurance contracts. For further details regarding the interest rate's sensitivity, see Section 5.3.5 below.
    1. Reversal of UGL in investments in associates in accordance with the Commissioner's circular, under IFRS 4 entities were allowed to recognize excess fair value over associates against LAT reserves in health insurance, and against best practice reserve in P&C insurance; however, this option was reversed under IFRS 17.
    1. A timing difference in recognition of revenue from premiums compared to revenue from insurance services - in accordance with IFRS 17, revenue from insurance services in the Long-Term Life and Health Insurance Subsegments is recognized in accordance with the decrease in liabilities for remaining coverage (LRC), which reflects the allocation of the total expected consideration for the insurance contract in accordance with the scope of service provided by the Company during the period, instead of revenue recognition based on the premium and management fees charged during the period.
    1. Effect of first-time application of IFRS 17 as of the transition date in accordance with the fair value (FV) approach on long-term life and health insurance portfolios – in accordance with the fair value approach, deferred acquisition expenses attributed to insurance contract policies were derecognized on the transition date and carried immediately to equity rather than on a current basis as amortization expenses in the income statement.
    1. Changes in actuarial assumptions in accordance with IFRS 17, changes in assumptions are charged to contractual service margin (CSM) instead of immediate recognition in profit and loss.
    1. Cancellation of the Pfefferman reserve in savings policies with variable management fees - and as a result - cancellation of Pfefferman reserve's amortization in Life Insurance, which was recorded as a change in the insurance reserves in the Income Statement.
    1. Adjustments to RA reserve in liabilities for P&C insurance contracts upon the transition to IFRS 17, the Company applies the best practice principles, according to which the margin of conservatism (RA) set is 75%.

  1. Adjustment of measurement of financial investments in accordance with IFRS 9 most of the effect is a revaluation of designated bonds in life insurance to fair value through profit and loss instead of adjusted cost.

Main effect on core income in 2024 - IFRS 17 compared to IFRS 4:

    1. Difference arising from the calculation basis of the normalized return differences arising from the calculation basis of liabilities for insurance contracts due to the application of IFRS 17.
    1. Rate of normalized return calculation of normalized return according to nominal riskfree three-month interest as determined at the beginning of the reporting quarter, plus a 2.25% margin instead of a 3% real normalized return.

5.3.4 The following is the breakdown of (pre-tax) core income by segments for 2024 comparing IFRS 17 and IFRS 4 (NIS million):

5.3.5. Sensitivity analysis:

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 17, the Company measures a group of insurance contracts as the total of: (a) the fulfillment cash flows (FCF), and (b) the contractual service margin (CSM). The fulfillment cash flows are measured in each Reporting Period using upto-date estimates, including current discount rates; in the insurance portfolios measured under the GMM model, the effect of the changes to the curve is recognized in profit and loss, and in the participating savings portfolios the effect of those changes is recognized in CSM.

In addition, following the transition to IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, the Company's illiquid debt assets, including Hetz bonds, are measured at fair value through profit and loss (excluding

the equity portfolio) such that an increase or decrease in the interest rate curve will affect their carrying amounts.

The following is a summary of the effects of a change in the interest rate curve on the Company's profit or loss under IFRS 17 and IFRS 9:

Interest rate
decrease
Increase in
interest
FCF in asset position + -
FCF in liability position - +
Hetz bonds + -
Other debt assets at fair value + -

The following is an estimate of sensitivity tests that reflect the change in comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2024 for financial assets, financial liabilities and liabilities/assets for insurance contracts, as a result of a corresponding 1% change in the risk-free interest rate curve, assuming that all other variables remain constant. It should also be noted that the sensitivities are not linear, such that greater or more minor changes relative to the changes described below are not necessarily a straightforward extrapolation of the effect of these changes.

Effect of the change in the interest rate curve on profit or loss/equity:

For the year ended December 31, 2024
IFRS 17 IFRS 4
Effect of 1% increase
(Post-tax) comprehensive income (loss) (455,523) (141,277)
Effect of 1% decrease
(Post-tax) comprehensive income (loss) 520,350 (94,854)

On the liabilities side, under the transition from IFRS 4 to IFRS 17, sensitivity to interest due to changes in the risk-free interest rate curve decreased as a result of changes in the riskfree interest rate curve, since the sensitivity of liabilities is mostly offset by the sensitivity resulting from insurance assets (insurance products characterized by negative BE) and sensitivity to interest of Hetz bonds accounted for at fair value under IFRS 17. Therefore, most of the interest rate sensitivity arises from the free asset portfolio, which is sensitive to changes in the relevant curves.

Consequently, volatility and accounting sensitivity can be better managed.

The information presented above includes forward-looking information, as defined by the Securities Law, 1968. The Company's assessments regarding the abovementioned materialization may not materialize, in whole or in part, or may materialize in a materially different manner to that which is expected, due to, among other things, changes in market conditions.

6. Board of Directors' Explanations for the State of the Corporation's Business

6.1. General

The Group's operations are affected by constant regulatory changes and reforms. In addition, as the controlling shareholder of institutional entities, the Group must also deal with the minimum capital requirements that apply to the activity of the institutional entities, which impose, among other things, restrictions on dividend distribution by the institutional entities.

The Group's operations and results are significantly affected by the capital markets, including, among other things, the interest rate environment that has implications for its insurance liabilities and on the returns embodied in the Group's financial asset portfolios and consequently - on the management fees and financial margins from investments as well.

6.2. Assets under management, premiums and proceeds for investment contracts

Total assets under management by provident funds, excluding guaranteed return provident fund tracks, pension funds, ETFs, and customers' investment portfolios are not included in the Financial Statements. Proceeds for investment contracts are not included in the premiums line item; rather, they are charged directly to liabilities for insurance contracts and investment contracts.

Assets under management

Premiums, gross and proceeds for investment contracts

6.3. Description of the development of the Group's financial position

Following are key data from the consolidated balance sheets (in NIS billion):

Assets:

Total financial assets for yield-dependent contracts and cash and cash equivalents for yielddependent contracts as of March 31, 2025, amounted to approx. NIS 116.2 billion, compared to approx. NIS 114.3 billion as of December 31, 2024. Other assets totaled approx. NIS 59.4 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared with approx. NIS 58.9 billion as of December 31, 2024.

Liabilities:

Liabilities for insurance contracts amounted to NIS 105.4 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared to a total of approx. NIS 107.2 billion as of December 31, 2024. Liabilities for investment contracts amounted to approx. NIS 36.7 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared to a total of approx. NIS 26.6 billion as of December 31, 2024. Other liabilities totaled approx. NIS 21.6 billion as of March 31, 2025, compared with approx. NIS 27.6 billion as of December 31, 2024.

The increase in assets and liabilities arises from continued contributions by policyholders and a persistent increase in the volumes of activity in all of the Company's operating segments.

Following are changes in the net contractual service margin (CSM) (in NIS billion):

6.4. Description of the development of the Group's comprehensive income

6.4.1. General

6.4.1.1. At each Reporting Period, the Company reviews its sources of income, according to the segments breakdown, as detailed in Section 6.4.2 below. The Company also reviews its profitability by separating core operating income, which assumes a risk-free (RF) return according to a nominal interest rate for a three-month period, as set at the beginning of the Reporting Quarter, plus a 2.25% spread (hereinafter - the "normalized return") less bonuses to employees and managers from excess returns and gain from capital market effects above or below a return of RF+2.25, interest rate effects and special items as detailed in the following sections.

6.4.1.2. Special items are considered by the Company as changes in profit or loss outside the Company's ordinary course of business, including actuarial changes as a result of studies, changes in actuarial models, losses (reversal of losses for group of onerous insurance contracts, exceptional effects due to structural changes - including allocation of share-based payment to minority shareholders in Group subsidiaries and exceptional purchase expenses following the implementation of the strategy of increasing the market share in the (hereinafter - "special items").

6.4.1.3. In the Health Insurance and in Property and Casualty Insurance segments, the profitability analysis is divided into core income - which assumes a normalized return and income stemming from capital market effects - which include Nostro investment revenue above or below the normalized return, the effect of the interest rate curve and other special items.

6.4.1.4. In the Life and Savings Segment, profitability is analyzed by applying a breakdown into core income, which includes a normalized return assumption, except in guaranteed return policies backed by designated bonds, for which a risk free return was calculated plus illiquidity premium, such that there is no margin for these policies, and the income originating from the capital market effects, which include investment revenue calculated above or below the normalized return, the effect of the interest rate curve and other special effects.

6.4.1.5. In order to separate the financial results between income attributed to insurance and income arising from other core activities, the Company splits the Other Segment. The disaggregation is made for convenience purposes and the Company views the capital and unattributed segment as a single operating segment.

6.4.1.6. Adjusted EBITDA - calculated as income before finance, taxes, depreciation and amortization in the relevant areas of activity. Adjustment of EBITDA as detailed below:

Insurance segments - N/A.

Retirement - IFRS 16 adjustment and amortization of DAC and special items.

Brokers & Advisors (Agencies), Investment House and Financing (Credit) - IFRS 16 adjustment and special items.

For further details regarding the calculation of the EBITDA, see Section 6.4.4 below.

6.4.2. Following is a composition of the Company's operating results by segments in the first quarter of 2025 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

For the effects on the results at the segment level, see details in Sections 6.5-6.6 below.

6.4.3. Following is the composition of the sources of the Company's pre-tax income by operating income and gains from capital market effects, interest rate and Special Items in the first quarter of 2025 (in NIS million):

  • (*) See Section 6.4.1.
  • (**) For details regarding revenue from investments, interest and special effects at the segment level, see Sections 6.5-6.6 below

Core income increased by approx. NIS 126 million in the Reporting Period, compared with the corresponding period last year.

The decrease in non-core investment revenue compared to the corresponding period last year totaled approx. NIS 367 million in view of lower returns in financial markets in Israel and across the world compared to last year. The change in the risk-free interest rate curve and illiquidity premium in the Reporting Period compared to the corresponding period last year caused an increase in income of approx. NIS 280 million in income. The total net effect of the interest and capital market (in excess of RF+2.25%) in the Reporting Period amounted to approx. NIS 87 million before tax.

The decrease of approx. NIS 27 million in loss in the special effects line item in the reporting period compared to last year, arises mainly from the change in provisions for class actions, and loss from the filing of claims as a result of the Iron Swords War in life and permanent health insurance last year.

6.5. Description of developments in core activity insurance

6.5.1. P&C insurance

Following is the composition of the main effects and changes on the results of the Property and Casualty Insurance Subsegment for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million before tax):

The increase of approx. NIS 25 million in core income in the reporting period compared to the corresponding period last year arises mainly from the Other Subsegment, which was partially offset by a decrease in income in the Compulsory Motor Subsegment. For further details, see Section 6.5.1.3 below. The decrease of approx. NIS 50 million in investment revenue in the Reporting Period compared to the corresponding period last year stemmed from lower returns in financial markets in Israel and globally during the Reporting Period, compared to the corresponding period last year, in relation to the portfolio mix against the segment's liabilities; for further details regarding examining the Company's core profitability and change in imputing the return to the core income, see Note 6.4.1.1 above. The NIS 26 million increase in income from interest rate changes in the Reporting Period compared to the corresponding period last year arises from the changes in the risk-free interest rate curve, from the illiquidity premium, and from the effect on insurance reserves.

6.5.1.1. Following is the pre-tax comprehensive income in the various Property and Casualty Insurance Subsegments for the first quarter of 2025 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

6.5.1.2. Following is the (pre-tax) core income in the various Property and Casualty Insurance Subsegments for the first quarter of 2025 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

The increase in core income in the first quarter of the reporting year compared to the corresponding quarter last year arises mainly from the Other Subsegment as a result of an improvement in CR compared to last year; this income was partially offset by a decrease in the profitability of the Compulsory Motor Subsegment.

6.5.1.3. The following are the gross and retention combined ratios in the P&C Subsegment:

Property and Casualty(*)
In NIS million
1-3/2025 1-3/2024 1-12/2024
Gross combined ratio 68.7% 78.6.0% 71.2%
Retention combined ratio 80.2% 81.5% 76.4%

(*) The gross CR is the ratio between insurance contract expenses and insurance contract revenue; it does not take into account other operating expenses, which are not attributed to an insurance contract. Similarly, the retention CR is the ratio between insurance contract expenses less revenues from a reinsurance contract (reinsurers' participation in claims) and revenues from an insurance contract less expenses from a reinsurance contract (reinsurers premium less reinsurers fee). (**) Retention CR in the Motor Insurance Subsegment (compulsory motor and motor property) as of March 31, 2025 is 87.2% compared to 85.4% in the corresponding period last year.

6.5.2. Health insurance

Investment profitability affects the profitability of this segment, some of whose products (such as long-term care coverage) are characterized by accrual of significant reserves over long periods. Investment income is affected by financial market fluctuations, as well as by changes in interest rates and the rate of change in the Israeli consumer price index, which affect the yields on liquid financial asset portfolios held against insurance and contingent claims reserves. It should be noted that at this stage, the Company has ceased to market individual LTC policies.

In accordance with the provisions regarding the transfer of policyholders from "First Shekel" surgical procedures insurance policies (which came into force in 2016) to "Supplementary SHABAN" surgical procedures insurance policies, on September 1, 2024 the relevant policyholders were transferred to a "Supplementary SHABAN" coverage. Consequently, there was an increase in "Supplementary SHABAN" policies in the Company, which affected the surgical procedures insurance portfolio mix.

Following is a composition of the main effects and changes on the results of the Health Insurance Segment for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

The NIS 23 million increase in core income in the first quarter of the reporting year compared to the corresponding quarter last year arises mainly from an improvement in profitability in the Critical Illness and Medical Expenses Subsegments.

The approx. NIS 16 million decrease in investment revenue in the first quarter of the Reporting Year compared to the corresponding quarter last year arises mainly from lower returns in financial markets in Israel and globally, compared to the corresponding period last year. The NIS 96 million increase in interest income in the first quarter of the reporting year compared to the corresponding quarter last year arises mainly from a decrease in the risk-free interest rate curve plus the illiquidity premium last year in the individual long-term care portfolio.

6.5.2.1. Following is the comprehensive income (loss) in the various Health Insurance Subsegments in the first quarter of the 2025 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

6.5.2.2. Following is the (pre-tax) core income (loss) in the various Health Insurance Subsegments in the first quarter of the 2025 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

The increase of approx. NIS 23 million in core income in the first quarter of the reporting year compared to the corresponding quarter last year arises mainly from an increase in income in the critical illness and medical expenses portfolio.

6.5.3. Life and Savings

Investment profitability has a material effect on the profitability of this segment, which is characterized by accrual of significant reserves over long periods. Investment income is affected by financial market fluctuations, as well as by changes in interest rates and the rate of change in the Israeli consumer price index, which affect the yields on liquid financial asset portfolios held against insurance and contingent claims reserves. It should be noted that a significant portion of the investment revenue was carried to participating policies and has no direct effect on the Company's results.

Following is the composition of the main effects and changes on the results of the Life Insurance Subsegment for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

The decrease of approx. NIS 21 million in core income compared to the corresponding quarter last year arises mainly from a decrease in profitability in the portfolio of policies, which include a yield dependent savings component with variable management fees, and a portfolio of policies without a savings component, mainly due to a higher-than-expected increase in cancellations.

The decrease in investment revenue above normalized return was mainly affected by lower returns in the quarter compared to the corresponding quarter last year.

The NIS 158 million increase in income from changes in the risk-free interest rate, including the illiquidity premium in the reporting period compared to the corresponding period last year is mainly in the portfolio of policies which include a non-yield-dependent savings component.

6.5.3.2. Following is the (pre-tax) core income (loss) in the various Life Insurance Subsegments in the first quarter of the 2025 compared with the corresponding quarter last year (in NIS million):

6.5.3.3. The rate of redemptions out of the average reserve (annualized) was approx. 7.8% compared with approx. 7.7% last year. The increase stems mainly from increase in cancellations of executive insurance policies, mostly from 2004 onwards, due to changes in the capital market and from internal transfers to the provident funds of Phoenix Pension and Provident. It is noted that the general state of the economy, transition from product to product, employment rates, employees' wages, and market competition all affect this rate.

6.5.3.4. Following are details concerning estimated net investment income credited to policyholders of yield-dependent insurance policies and management fees calculated

according to the Insurance Commissioner's Directives, based on the return and the insurance reserves balances:

1-3/2025 1-3/2024 1-12/2024

Real returns before payment of management fees 0.18% 4.48% 10.35%

The volatility in these returns are a function of capital market returns in Israel and abroad, changes in the consumer price index, and changes in the exchange rate of the shekel against major currencies.

6.5.3.6. Following are the nominal returns on yield-dependent insurance policies for policies issued from 2004 and thereafter

Policies issued from 2004 and thereafter
1-3/2025 1-3/2024 1-12/2024

Assumptions underlying the calculations

Fair value: Fair value was calculated using the discounted cash flow model, using the suitable interest rate for the cash flow period. The discount rate was calculated based on the market interest rate for the cash flow period, plus the risk premium derived from the security's rating.

Scenarios: For the interest risk, the calculation was based on absolute increase/decrease of 2% during the course of a day. This scenario was selected after a study of the yield curve database found that in the past 10 years, no absolute change exceeding 2% was observed in any single day. Scenario outcomes were calculated at the single asset level, so as to avoid distorting results by aggregating different instruments.

8. Corporate Governance Aspects

8.1. Effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting and disclosure

8.1.1. Securities Regulations

Amendment No. 3 to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 2009 (hereinafter - "ISOX"), which deals with internal controls over financial reporting and the disclosure thereof (hereinafter - the "Regulations"), was published in December 2009. The amendment enacts a number of changes aimed at improving the quality of financial reporting and disclosure by reporting corporations.

As from the publication date of the ISOX amendment, and as detailed in the Company's previous Reports of the Board of Directors, the Company has acted and is acting on an ongoing basis to implement the required procedure in Phoenix group in accordance with the provisions of the ISOX amendment. In accordance with the provisions of the ISOX amendment, the Company opted to implement to the internal controls of all of its consolidated institutional entities the provisions of the circulars of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings applicable thereto - the Institutional Entities Circular 2009-9-10, "Management's Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting"; Institutional Entities Circular 2010-9-6, "Management's Responsibility for Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Amendment"; Circular 2010-9-7 "Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Statements, Reports and Disclosures" (hereinafter - "Management's Responsibility Circulars").

The reports and statements required in accordance with the ISOX amendment are attached below to the periodic Financial Statements, see Part 5 - Report on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls over Financial Reporting and Disclosure.

The processes relating to the activities of institutional entities are also addressed in the Insurance Commissioner's Circulars, see Section 8.1.2 below.

8.1.2. The Insurance Commissioner's circulars

Alongside the process described in Section 8.1.1 above, the Phoenix group's institutional entities apply the provisions of Management's Responsibility Circulars pertaining to controls and procedures regarding disclosure and internal controls over financial reporting of an institutional entity, and implement the procedures required in connection therewith, as detailed below; this is done in accordance with the stages and dates set out in the abovementioned circulars and in collaboration with external consultants engaged for that purpose. As part of this process, the Group's institutional entities adopted the internal control model of COSO - the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission - which is a generally accepted framework for assessment of internal controls.

8.1.3. Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9

IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 came into force at the beginning of 2025; the financial reporting for the 1st quarter of 2025 is the first full report in accordance with the New Standards, and therefore, this report includes significant changes in the manner of measurement and presentation of the financial reporting line items.

Under the Standards' adoption process, the Company carried out comprehensive preparations, which included application and integration of a new core system (Moody's), made changes to infrastructure in order to adapt the databases, and updated the required work processes and calculations in accordance with a methodology approved by Company's management. In addition, the Company tested and mapped the required controls and the flow of information to the financial statements.

Under the preparations for the application of the Standard, the Company set up several committees: a Steering Committee headed by the Company's CEO, and a Steering Committee for the Application of IFRS 17 participated by members of the Balance Sheet Committee, who convened regularly to assess and approve the methodology and working assumptions, and to hold an in-depth discussion of the analysis of the calculation results.

As an integral part of the steps taken by the Company to apply the Standard, controls were implemented on an ongoing basis and an in-depth analysis process was carried out regarding the 2024 data, under which the Company worked to improve the databases and interfaces and conducted an orderly process of learning and drawing lessons. The parallel run for 2024 was carried out in Moody's system (in the testing environment).

For first quarter 2025 data, the calculations were carried out in full in the production environments of the new system.

During the preparation of the current report, the Company gained further insights as to the method of analysis and the required controls, and it applies them on an ongoing basis in the work processes.

In accordance with the roadmap for the adoption of IFRS 17 published by the Capital Market Authority, the Company acted to map the risks in the relevant work processes and, accordingly, to design new key controls, including ITGC controls, and revise the existing control matrix, in accordance with the changes in the reporting process.

The effectiveness of the controls under the revised matrix will be carried out in accordance with the Company's sampling methodology, through the reporting date of the 2025 annual financial statements.

Under the Company's activity for the application of the Standard and in accordance with the changes made to the work processes during the course of this activity, an orderly work plan is in place for the development of additional controls to ensure the adequacy of financial reporting.

In order to prepare the work plans, the Company created a parallel model, whose results were compared to the actual normalized results.

For additional information regarding the application of the Standard, see Section 5 above.

Disclosure controls and procedures

Managements of the institutional entities, together with their CEOs and CFOs, assessed the effectiveness of the controls and procedures concerning the said institutional entities' disclosure in their Financial Statements as of the end of the period covered in this report. Based on this assessment, the CEOs and CFOs of the institutional entities in the Phoenix group concluded that, as of the end of this period, the controls and procedures as to the institutional entities' disclosure are sufficiently effective for recording, processing, summarizing, and reporting the information that the institutional entities are required to disclose in their quarterly report in accordance with the provisions of the law and the reporting provisions set by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance, and Savings and on the date set out in these provisions.

Internal control over financial reporting

During the Reporting Period ending March 31, 2025, no changes took place in the internal control over financial reporting of the Group's institutional entities that had a material effect, or is expected to have a material effect, on the institutional entities' internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, the Group's institutional entities are improving and streamlining processes and/or internal controls and/or customer service.

The Financial Statements relating to the relevant processes are attached to the Financial Statements of Phoenix group's institutional entities, in accordance with the provisions of Management's Responsibility Circulars.

8.2. Disclosure regarding the Financial Statements' approval process in a reporting entity

Pursuant to the Israel Securities Authority's directive regarding disclosures required in the Report of the Board of Directors as to the Financial Statements' approval process in a reporting entity, the corporate organs charged with governance in the corporation should be identified, and disclosure must be made of the procedures implemented by those charged with governance in the corporation, prior to the Financial Statements' approval. The directive does not apply to insurance companies. The Group's institutional entities are subject to the Supervisor's directives and accordingly follow Sections 404 and 302 to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (hereinafter - "SOX"), including review of work processes and internal controls in institutional entities. The Financial Statements of the said institutional entities include officers' statements as to the fairness of the financial data presented in the Financial Statements and the existence and effectiveness of internal controls with respect to these Financial Statements. For further details, see Section 5.4 to the Report on the Corporation's Business.

As part of the review of the financial results, meetings are held which are attended by the CEO, the CFO, division heads and other relevant officers, in which participants discuss material issues concerning financial reporting, including material transactions outside the ordinary course of business, material valuations used in the Financial Statements, the reasonability of the data and the accounting policies applied.

The Company's Board of Directors is the organ charged with governance and approval of the Financial Statements. The Company's Board of Directors has appointed a Financial Statements Review Committee (hereinafter - the "Balance Sheet Committee" or the "Committee"); the Committee submits to the Board of Directors its recommendations concerning the approval of the Financial Statements, prior to their approval by the Board. The Committee is not an Audit Committee.

Auditors' Review Report to the Shareholders of The Phoenix Financial Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying financial information of The Phoenix Financial Ltd. and subsidiaries ("the Company"), the condensed consolidated statement of financial statement of financial position as of March 31, 2025, the related condensed consolidated statements of profit or loss, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three-month period then ended. The Company's Board of Directors and management are responsible for the preparation and presentation of interim financial information for this interim period in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting", and are responsible for the disclosure requirements set by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings and in accordance with the Financial Services (Insurance) Supervision Law, 1981 and they are also responsible for preparing financial information for this interim period under Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, insofar as these regulations apply to a corporation that consolidates an insurance company. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the financial information for this interim period based on our review.

We did not review the condensed interim financial information of certain subsidiaries, whose assets included in consolidation constitute approximately 3.1% of total consolidated assets as of March 31, 2025, and whose revenues included in consolidation constitute approximately 3.8% of total consolidated revenues for the three-month period then ended. Furthermore, we did not review the condensed financial information for an interim period of companies presented on the basis of the equity method. The investment in which, at equity, amounted to approximately NIS 921,709 thousand as of March 31, 2025, and the Company's share in the earning amounted to approximately NIS 33,257 thousand for the period of three-month period then ended. The condensed interim financial information of those companies was reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to financial information in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of the other independent auditors.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and of applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed pursuant to Israeli GAAP and, as a result, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we are not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and in accordance with the disclosure requirements prescribed by the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings, pursuant to the Financial Services Supervision Law (Insurance), 1981.

In addition to that which is stated in the previous paragraph, based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the abovementioned financial information does not comply, in all material respects, with the disclosure provisions of Chapter D of the Israel Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, insofar as these regulations apply to a corporation consolidating an insurance company.

Emphasis of matter

Without qualifying the above conclusion, we draw attention to Note 9 to the financial statements regarding exposure to contingent liabilities.

C. Completion of the merger between Group companies

During the Reporting Period, the Company transferred to Phoenix Capital Partners Ltd. - a new privately-owned subsidiary established and wholly-owned by the Company - the entire Wealth & Alternatives business carried out in Phoenix Investments prior to the merger date and ownership interests in several other companies. Upon completion of the merger, Phoenix Investments and Platinum ceased to exist.

In addition, the Company transferred to Gama, effective January 1, 2025, Phoenix Consumer Credit Ltd., which was wholly-owned by the Company, in exchange for issuance of shares.

In addition, in the reporting period, the Company transferred its 19.9% holding stake in El Al Frequent Flyer Ltd. shares (hereinafter - "El Al Club") to Phoenix Gama, in consideration for issuance of shares. The transfer was carried out after the completion of the distribution of El Al Club shares as a dividend in kind from Phoenix Insurance to the Company. For further details, see the Company's report dated November 27, 2024 and February 25, 2025 (Ref. Nos.: 2024-01-619565 and 2025-01-012796, respectively).

NOTE 1 - GENERAL (cont.)

D. The Iron Swords War

On October 7, 2023, the Iron Swords War between the State of Israel and the Gaza-based "Hamas" terror organization broke out (hereinafter - the "War"), following a murderous attack by Hamas on localities in southern Israel. In addition to the War in Gaza, Israel is involved in an armed conflict and military operational activity of varying intensities and in a number of fronts. The War and all of the activities in the various fronts have an adverse effect on the Israeli economy. As of the report publication date, the fighting in Gaza was resumed at varying intensity.

Due to the War, the international rating agencies downgraded the State of Israel's credit rating. The abovementioned rating downgrade also affected Phoenix Insurance's international rating. However, on March 26, 2025, the international credit rating agency Moody's reiterated Phoenix Insurance's Baa1 existing rating and changed the rating outlook from negative to stable, due to, among other things, Phoenix Insurance's ability to maintain the resilience of its capital surplus and liquidity and its high and stable level of profits since the outbreak of the War. For further details, see the immediate report dated March 26, 2025 (Ref. No.: 2025-01- 020871).

Due to its activity, Phoenix Group is exposed to declines in the financial markets, a slowdown in activity, and to other risks arising from the War. For further details on exposure to risk factors, see also Note 41 to the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements. At this stage, there is uncertainty as to the development of the War, its scope and duration. Therefore, at this stage it is impossible to assess the full effect of the War on the Company and its results in the medium term; however, as of the report publication date, this effect is not expected to be material.

A. Preparation format of the consolidated interim financial statements

The Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting", and in accordance with the disclosure requirements set by the Commissioner in accordance with the Financial Services Supervision Law (Insurance), 1981. In addition, the financial statements were prepared in accordance with the disclosure provisions in Chapter D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970, insofar as these regulations apply to a corporation consolidating an insurance company.

Through December 31, 2022, the Group's consolidated financial statements were drawn up in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including in connection with the data relating to insurer consolidated subsidiaries, which meet the definition of insurer, as defined in the Securities Regulations (Preparation of Annual Financial Statements), 2010.

In accordance with requirements set by the Commissioner, the first-time application date of IFRS 17 regarding Insurance Contracts and IFRS 9 regarding Financial Instruments was postponed to January 1, 2025 (instead of the first-time application date that was set in the standard itself - January 1, 2023). In view of the above, in the periods commencing January 1, 2023 and through initial application in Israel, the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970. In accordance with these provisions, these financial statements data that relate to a consolidated subsidiary, which falls within the scope of the definition of insurer, as defined in the Securities Regulations (Preparation of Annual Financial Statements), 2010, were prepared in accordance with the requirements set by the Commissioner in accordance with the Financial Services Supervision Law (Insurance), 1981.

As from January 1, 2025, the Group has been applying IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 for the first time to financial statement data relating to Phoenix Insurance as stated above, and as a consequence it resumed full application of IFRS. For additional information, see Note 2D.

In preparing the condensed financial statements in accordance with the above, the Company's management is required to exercise discretion in assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the implementation of the policy and the amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. It is clarified that the actual results may differ from those estimates.

The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those implemented in the preparation of the Consolidated Annual Financial Statements, except as follows:

B. Insurance contracts

As detailed in Note 2D regarding first-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts (hereinafter - "IFRS 17"), the Company has been applying IFRS 17 as from January 1, 2025 in accordance with the Provisions for the Transitional Period set forth in IFRS 17, including the restatement of the comparative figures for the first quarter and for 2024. The following are the accounting policies based on the provisions of the IFRSs and the circular "Professional Issues Pertaining to the Application of IFRS 17 in Israel" published by the Commissioner.

1. Classification of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts

A contract is classified as an insurance contract if it transfers to the issuing company a significant insurance risk.

The Company issues insurance contracts in its ordinary course of business, in which it accepts a significant insurance risk from the policyholders. The Company determines whether it has a significant insurance risk, by comparing the benefits which will be provided to the policyholder after an insured event, to the benefits which will be provided to the policyholder if the insured event does not occur. In addition to the significant insurance risk, some insurance contracts also transfer financial risk to the Company, such as a guaranteed rate of return.

Some of the contracts entered into by the Company have the legal form of insurance contracts but do not transfer a significant insurance risk (savings policies without insurance coverage). These contracts are classified as financial liabilities and referred to as 'investment contracts'.

Reinsurance contracts held are contracts held by the Company under which it transfers to reinsurers a significant insurance risk relating to underlying insurance contracts. The purpose of the reinsurance contracts held is to mitigate the Company's significant insurance risk in respect of the underlying insurance contracts.

Insurance contracts are classified as contracts with direct participation features or contracts without direct participation features. Insurance contracts with direct participation features are insurance contracts, which, at the time of engagement therein:

  • A. The contractual terms specify that the policyholder participates in a share of a clearly identified pool of underlying items;
  • B. The Company expects to pay the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the fair value returns on the underlying items; and
  • C. The Company expects a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts paid to the policyholder to vary with the change in fair value of the underlying items.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

1. Classification of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts (cont.)

All other insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts were classified as contracts without direct participation features. Some of these contracts are measured in accordance with the PAA model.

2. Separating components from insurance contracts

An insurance contract may contain one or more components, which would be within the scope of another standard if they were separate contracts. For example, insurance contracts may include:

  • Investment component
  • A service component in addition to the insurance contract services (hereinafter - the "Service Component")
  • Embedded derivatives

Embedded derivatives in insurance contracts will be separated and accounted for in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 9 where their economic characteristics and risks are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, unless the embedded derivative itself meets the definition of an insurance contract.

An investment component represents amounts which the Company is required to repay the policyholder in all circumstances regardless of the occurrence of the insured event. A distinct investment component shall be separated from the host insurance contract and will be accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9. An investment component is distinct if it can be sold separately from the insurance component, and the investment component and the insurance component are not highly interrelated. Some of the Company's life insurance contracts include a savings component, which constitutes an investment component. The Company believes that the investment component is highly interrelated with the contract's insurance component; therefore, it is not a distinct component and is not accounted for separately from the host insurance contract. However, receipts and payments arising from the investment component are excluded from insurance revenues and insurance service expenses.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

2. Separating components from insurance contracts (cont.)

Service components constitute a promise to transfer goods or services to the policyholder in addition to the insurance contract services. A distinct service component will be separated from the host insurance contract and accounted for in accordance with IFRS 15. A service component is distinct if the policyholder can benefit from the goods or services on their own or together with other resources that are readily available to the policyholder. A service component is not distinct if the cash flows and risks associated with the good or service are highly interrelated with the cash flows and risks associated with the insurance components in the contract, and the Company provides a significant service in integrating the good or non-insurance service with the insurance components.

After separating distinct components, the Company implements IFRS 17 for all components not separated from the host insurance contract and accounts for them as a single insurance contract.

The Company did not identify any components, which should be separated from the insurance contract

3. Level of aggregation and combination of insurance contracts

Insurance contracts are classified into groups for measurement purposes. The Company determines the groups upon initial recognition and may add contracts to those groups after the end of the reporting period; however, the Company does not reassess the composition of the groups in subsequent periods.

In order to determine the groups, the Company first identifies insurance contract portfolios. A portfolio comprises contracts subject to similar risks and managed together. The Company identified insurance contract portfolios in accordance with the major product lines and based on the list of insurance portfolios included in the Professional Issues Circular published by the Commissioner, excluding individual medical expenses and disability, collective medical expenses and disability and personal accidents, which is recognized as a single portfolio. Once it has identified a portfolio, the Company divides it into a minimum of the following groups, based on the expected profitability upon initial recognition:

  • A group of contracts, which are onerous at initial recognition;
  • A group of contracts, which at initial recognition have no significant possibility of becoming onerous subsequently (this group is negligible); and
  • a group of the remaining contracts in the portfolio.

For insurance contracts to which the Company applies the PPA model, the Company assumes no contracts in the portfolio are onerous at the initial recognition date, unless facts and circumstances indicate otherwise.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

3. Level of aggregation and combination of insurance contracts (cont.)

IFRS 17 stipulates that an entity shall not include contracts issued more than one year apart in the same group, such that each underwriting year is attributed to a separate group of insurance contracts, except for insurance contract groups for which the Company applied the fair value approach on the transition date (see note 2D).

IFRS 17 permits the inclusion of contracts in the same group if they belong to different groups only because a law or regulation specifically constrains the Company's practical ability to set a different price or level of benefits for policyholders with different characteristics. The Company's relative share in compulsory motor insurance policies issued through the Pool meets this requirement; therefore, the Company opted to include its relative share in these policies in the same group as the compulsory motor insurance policies sold by the Company.

The Company sells insurance contracts, which include a number of coverage types, which would have been classified into different insurance contract groups, had they been separate insurance contracts. The lowest unit of account in IFRS 17 is the insurance contract, with all insurance coverages included therein; therefore, the Company normally allocates the insurance contract in its entirety to a single group of insurance contracts. It is only in cases where the legal form of the policy does not reflect the economic substance of the rights and obligations included in the contract, that the Company separates the coverages and recognizes them as separate insurance contracts. This approach is materially different from the Company's policy under IFRS 4, whereunder the Company normally recognized and measured each coverage separately.

In addition, in certain cases the Company contracts the same policyholder (or a related party thereof) in a set or a series of insurance policies. Normally, each policy in a set or a series shall be recognized as a separate insurance contract. In certain cases, the set or series of policies reflects the economic substance of a single insurance contract. In such cases, the Company recognizes and measures such policies as a single insurance contract. When an insurance contract includes more than one insurance coverage, and the coverages would have been attributed to different insurance portfolios had they been provided under separate contracts, the Company classifies the contract as a whole in accordance with the portfolio to which the main coverage in the contract is attributed.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

3. Level of aggregation and combination of insurance contracts (cont.)

The Company exercises judgment in determining whether to separate insurance components, or to combine a set or a series of insurance contracts with the same counterparty and account for them as a single contract. The Company's judgment is based, among other things, on the interdependence between the cash flows of the insurance contracts, whether the insurance contracts expire together, and priced and sold together, and on the customer's view of the contracts as a single unit.

4. Recognition

The Company recognizes a group of insurance contracts it issues from the earliest of the following:

  • The beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts
  • The date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due
  • For a group of onerous contracts, when the group becomes onerous

The Company recognizes a group of reinsurance contracts held from the earliest of the following:

  • The beginning of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held. However, the Company defers the recognition of a group of reinsurance contracts held which provide proportionate coverage until the initial recognition of any underlying insurance contract, if that date is later than the date of commencement of the coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts held.
  • And the date on which the Company recognizes an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts if it entered into the reinsurance contract held in question as part of a group of reinsurance contracts held on or prior to that date.

The Company adds new contracts to the group during the reporting period in which the contract meets one of the abovementioned recognition criteria.

5. Cash flow for purchase of insurance

Insurance acquisition cash flows arise from the costs of selling, underwriting and starting a group of insurance contracts (issued or expected to be issued) that are directly attributable to the portfolio of insurance contracts to which the Group belongs.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

5. Cash flow for purchase of insurance (cont.)

The Company allocates on a systematic and rational basis:

  • a) Insurance acquisition cash flows, which are directly attributable to a group of insurance contracts:
    • (i) to this group; and
    • (ii) To groups comprising insurance contracts, which are expected to arise from renewals of the Group's insurance contracts.
  • b) Insurance acquisition cash flows, which are directly attributable to a portfolio of insurance contracts, which are not directly attributable to a group of insurance contracts - to groups of insurance contracts in the portfolio.

6. Contract boundary

The Company includes in the measurement of a group of insurance contracts all cash flows within the contract boundary of each contract in the group. Cash flows are within the boundary of a contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations which exist during the reporting period in which the Company can compel the policyholder to pay the premiums or in which it has a substantive obligation to provide the policyholder with insurance services. A substantive obligation to provide insurance services ends when:

• The Company has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the particular policyholder and, as a result, can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects those risks.

Or

  • Both of the following criteria are satisfied:
    • The Company has the practical ability to reassess the risks of the portfolio of insurance contracts, which contains the contract and, as a result, can set a price or level of benefits that fully reflects those risks.
    • The pricing of the premiums for coverage up to the date when the risks are reassessed does not take into account the risks, which relate to periods after the reassessment date.

A liability or asset relating to expected premiums or expected claims outside the boundary of the insurance contract is not recognized. Such amounts relate to future contracts.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

6. Contract boundary (cont.)

Cash flows are within the boundary of a reinsurance contract held if they arise from substantive rights and obligations, which exist during the reporting period, in which the Company is compelled to pay amounts to the reinsurer or has a substantive right to receive services from the policyholder. A substantive right to receive services from the reinsurer ends when the reinsurer has a practical ability to reassess the risks transferred to it and can set a new price or change the terms of the benefits, such that they fully reflect those risks, or alternatively, when the reinsurer has a substantive right to discontinue the insurance coverage.

7. Measurement model

There are three models for measuring insurance contracts:

  • The general measurement model (the GMM model) the Company applies this model for insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts, which are not measured in accordance with the VFA or PAA model. These contracts mainly include policies, which have a non-yield-dependent savings component, life insurance, and permanent health insurance, which are sold as a standalone policy, and long-term health insurance products.
  • The variable fee approach (the VFA model) the Company applies this approach to insurance contracts with direct participation features (see details under "classification of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts" above). The Company's insurance contracts with direct participation features are policies, which have a yield-dependent savings component, and yielddependent immediate annuity policies.
  • The premium allocation approach (the PAA model) the Company applies this simplified approach to certain insurance and reinsurance contracts, whose coverage period is normally one year or less, and insurance contracts, which satisfied the eligibility criteria for application of the PAA model (see details under "insurance contracts measured in accordance with the PAA model"), which include P&C insurance contracts and short-term health insurance products.

8. Insurance contracts measured under the GMM or VFA model

Measurement on initial recognition

The measurement of insurance contracts upon initial recognition is identical for the GMM model and the VFA model. Upon initial recognition, the Company measures a group of insurance contracts as the total of: (a) the fulfillment cash flows, and (b) the contractual service margin (CSM).

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

8. Insurance contracts measured under the GMM or VFA model (cont.)

Measurement on initial recognition (cont.)

The fulfillment cash flows include estimated future cash flows, adjusted to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks and a risk adjustment for nonfinancial risk.

If the fulfillment cash flows constitute in total a net inflow upon initial recognition, a CSM is recognized to fully offset the fulfillment cash flows, with no effect on profit or loss upon initial recognition. The CSM represents the unearned profit of the insurance contract, which the Company will recognize insofar as it provides services under the contract. However, if the fulfilment cash flows constitute in total a net outflow upon initial recognition, a loss is recognized immediately in the profit or loss (hereinafter - the "Loss Component") and the group of contracts is deemed onerous.

The CSM or Loss Component unit of account is based on groups of insurance contracts consistently with the aggregation level described above.

Subsequent measurement of fulfillment cash flows

In each reporting period, the fulfillment cash flows are measured using current estimates of the expected cash flows and current discount rates. In subsequent periods, the balance of a group of insurance contracts on each reporting date is the sum of:

  • The liability for remaining coverage (LRC), which includes the fulfillment cash flows relating to future services, and any remaining CSM as of that date; and
  • The liability for incurred claims (LIC), which includes the fulfillment cash flows for incurred claims (including claims incurred and not yet reported) and expenses payable.
  • Subsequent measurement of fulfillment cash flows
  • For an onerous group, the LRC is split into a Loss Component, which reflects the losses recognized in respect of an onerous group of insurance contracts and an LRC excluding a Loss Component, which reflects the balance of liability for future service. The Loss Component determines the amounts presented in profit or loss as reversals of losses on onerous groups and are consequently excluded from the determination of insurance revenue.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

8. Insurance contracts measured under the GMM or VFA model (cont.)

Subsequent measurement of CSM under the GMM model

For contracts without direct participation features, when applying the GMM model, the CSM balance at the end of the reporting period is the CSM calculated at the end of the latest reporting period adjusted to reflect the following changes:

  • Effect of new contracts added to the group;
  • Interest accrued on the carrying amount of the CSM, measured at nominal discount rates as of the initial recognition date;
  • changes in the fulfilment cash flows relating to future service, except if:
    • The increase in fulfilment cash flows exceeds the carrying amount of the CSM, in which case the excess is recognized as a loss in profit or loss and forms a Loss Component.
    • The decrease in the fulfillment cash flows is carried to the Loss Component and reverses losses recognized in profit or loss in previous periods; and
  • The amount recognized as insurance revenues because of the transfer of services in the period, determined by the allocation of the contractual service margin remaining at the end of the reporting period (before any allocation) over the current and remaining coverage period.

When measuring the fulfillment cash flows, changes relating to future services are measured using current discount rates, but the CSM is adjusted to reflect these changes using the discount rates set in the initial recognition. The implementation of the two different interest rates generates a profit or loss, which is recognized under insurance finance revenues or expenses.

Subsequent measurement of CSM under the VFA model

Contracts with direct participation features measured in accordance with the VFA model are contracts under which the Company's obligation to the policyholder is the net of:

• The obligation to pay the policyholder an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items; and

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

8. Insurance contracts measured under the GMM or VFA model (cont.)

Subsequent measurement of CSM under the VFA model (cont.)

• A variable fee in exchange for the future services provided by the insurance contract, which is the Company's share in the fair value of the underlying items net of fulfilment cash flows which do not vary based on the returns on underlying items. The Company provides investment management services under these contracts by providing a guaranteed return on investments based on underlying items, in addition to insurance coverage.

When measuring a group of contracts with direct participation features, the Company adjusts the fulfillment cash flows in respect of all changes in the obligation to pay the policyholder an amount equal to the fair value of the underlying items. These changes do not relate to future services and are recognized in profit or loss. The Company adjusts the CSM for changes in the amount of the Company's share in the fair value of the underlying items, relating to future services, as described below.

The CSM balance at the end of the reporting period is the CSM calculated at the end of the latest reporting period adjusted to reflect the following changes:

  • Effect of new contracts added to the group;
  • The change in the amount of the Company's share in the fair value of the underlying items and changes in fulfillment cash flows relating to future services, except if:
    • The Company applied the risk mitigation option so as not to recognize the change in CSM to reflect changes in the effect of financial risk on the amount of its share in the underlying items or fulfilment cash flows;
    • A decrease in the amount of the Company's share in the fair value of the underlying items, or an increase in the fulfilment cash flows relating to future services, exceeds the carrying amount of the CSM, giving rise to a loss and consequently - a Loss Component; or
    • An increase in the amount of the Company's share in the fair value of the underlying items, or a decrease in the fulfilment cash flows relating to future services, is attributed to the Loss Component, and reverses losses recognized in profit or loss in previous periods; and
  • The amount recognized as insurance revenues in respect of services provided during the period.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

8. Insurance contracts measured under the GMM or VFA model (cont.)

Subsequent measurement of CSM under the VFA model (cont.)

Changes in fulfilment cash flows relating to future services include changes relating to the abovementioned future services for contracts without direct participation features (measured at current discount rates), and changes in the effect of the time value of money and financial risk, which do not arise from the underlying items.

Risk mitigation option

Under the management of its business and as part of its regulatory obligations, the Company is required to manage investment portfolios of assets held for yielddependent insurance policies. Under such portfolios, the Company may actually hold assets, whose total amount exceeds the nominal aggregate value of the yielddependent policies accounted for by the VFA approach, in order to hedge the effects of additional financial exposures arising from those policies, including with regard to the effect of guaranteed annuity conversion factors, all in accordance with the Company's objective and risk mitigation strategy.

The Company put into practice the risk mitigation alternative set in the standard with regard to changes in the fulfillment cash flows arising from changes in the time value of money and financial risks in the relevant insurance liabilities, which are hedged through those assets. Therefore, the aforementioned changes will be recognized in profit or loss under the "Net finance expenses (revenues) from insurance contracts' concurrently with the revenues or expenses, which will arise in respect of the abovementioned assets. It is noted that the Company assesses and may periodically assess the amount of excess assets under management be held in practice under the participating portfolio in order to hedge the yielddependent liabilities, if any.

Subsequent measurement of loss component

For contracts, which are not measured under the PAA model, the Company creates a Loss Component of the obligation in respect of the remaining coverage for onerous groups of insurance contracts. The loss component determines the amount of fulfillment cash flows to be recognized in profit or loss in subsequent periods as reversal of losses on onerous contracts, excluded from insurance revenues when incurred. When fulfilment cash flows are incurred, they are allocated between the Loss Component and the LRC without a Loss Component on a systematic basis.

The systematic basis is determined by the ratio between the Loss Component and the present value of the expected claims and expenses plus RA at the beginning of each period.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

8. Insurance contracts measured under the GMM or VFA model (cont.)

Subsequent measurement of loss component (cont.)

Changes in fulfilment cash flows relating to future services and changes in the amount of the Company's share in the fair value of the underlying items for contracts with direct participation features are allocated solely to the Loss Component. If the Loss Component is reduced to zero, any excess exceeding the amount allocated to the Loss Component gives rise to new CSM for the group of contracts.

9. Insurance contracts measured under the PAA model

The Company may implement the Premium Allocation Approach only if upon inception of the group:

  • a) The coverage period of each contract in the group is one year or less; or
  • b) The Company reasonably expects that such simplification would produce a measurement of the liability for the remaining coverage period provided by the group that would not differ materially from the measurement that would result from applying the General Measurement Model.

In most property and casualty insurance portfolios, the coverage period of all contracts is up to one year. These groups of insurance contracts qualify automatically for application of the PAA model.

In respect of the remaining groups of contracts, the Company compares the liability in respect of the remaining coverage period, which will be produced from applying the PPA mode and the liability which will be produced from applying the General Measurement Model under possible future scenarios (PPA model eligibility test).

The Company has two-year personal accident policies and dental insurance policies. In accordance with the eligibility criteria implemented by the Company, these contracts qualify for application of the PAA model.

The LRC is initially measured as the total premiums received upon initial recognition net of the insurance acquisition cash flows as of that date, without adjustment in respect of the time value of money, since the premiums are usually received within one year from the date of providing the related coverage.

For insurance acquisition cash flows allocated to groups of insurance contracts measured when applying the PAA model, the Company may amortize the amount over the coverage period or recognize the amount as an expense as incurred, if the coverage period of each contract in the group does not exceed one year. This choice may be carried out at the insurance contracts group level.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

9. Insurance contracts measured under the PAA model (cont.)

For all groups of the Company's insurance contracts measured when applying the PAA model, the Company has opted to recognize the acquisition expenses directly attributable to the groups of insurance contracts in profit or loss over the coverage period in a systematic way on the basis of the passage of time.

If facts and circumstances indicate that a group of contracts is onerous upon initial recognition, loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss in respect of net payments and a Loss Component of the LRC arises in respect of the group.

Subsequent measurement

In subsequent periods, the Company measures the LRC balance at the end of each reporting period as follows:

  • The LRC at the beginning of the period; plus
  • Premiums received during the period; net of
  • Cash flow for purchase of insurance; with an added
  • Amounts recognized as amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows; net of
  • Amounts recognized as insurance revenues during the period; net of
  • Investment component paid or transferred to LIC.

The amounts recognized as insurance revenues during the period are based on the passage of time

If during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of insurance contracts is onerous, the Company recognizes a loss in profit or loss and an increase in the LRC up to the amount by which current estimates of the fulfillment cash flows relating to the remaining coverage (including RA) exceed the LRC balance.

The Company estimates the LIC as the fulfillment cash flows relating to incurred claims. The standard allows not to discount the future cash flows in respect of incurred claims if those cash flows are expected to be paid or received within one year or less from the date the claims are incurred. The Company does not implement the abovementioned expedient.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

10. Reinsurance contracts held measured under the GMM model

Measurement on initial recognition

The measurement of reinsurance contracts held is made by applying the principles applied for the GMM model for issued insurance contracts, subject to the adjustments detailed below. Reinsurance contracts cannot be measured using the VFA model.

Upon initial recognition, the Company recognizes net profit/cost as CSM in the consolidated statements of financial position, except for several exceptions. If the net cost of reinsurance contracts held relates to insured events which occurred before the initial recognition of insurance contracts, the net cost is immediately recognized in profit or loss. Furthermore, if the underlying insurance contracts are onerous, the Company is required to recognize immediately a profit in profit or loss in respect of that portion of the claims which the Company expects to recover from reinsurance, if the Company entered into the reinsurance contract held on or before the date on which it entered into the onerous contracts (hereinafter - the "Loss Recovery Component").

The measurement of the cash flows of a reinsurance contract held is consistent with that of the underlying insurance contracts but includes an adjustment for the risk of non-performance by the reinsurer. The RA represents the risk transferred by the Company to the reinsurer.

Subsequent measurement

In subsequent periods, the book balance of a group of reinsurance contracts held is the sum of:

  • The asset for remaining coverage (ARC), which includes the fulfillment cash flows relating to services, which will be received under the contract in future periods, and any remaining CSM as of that date; and
  • The asset for incurred claims (AIC), which includes the fulfillment cash flows for incurred claims and expenses receivable.

The Company adjusts the CSM balance of a group of reinsurance contracts held to reflect changes in the fulfillment cash flows by applying the approach applied for issued insurance contracts, excluding:

  • Revenues recognized to cover losses from onerous underlying contracts adjusts the CSM balance;
  • Reversals of the loss recovery component, up to the amount at which these reversals are not changes in the fulfillment cash flows of the group of reinsurance contracts held, also adjust the CSM; and

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

10. Reinsurance contracts held measured under the GMM model (cont.)

Subsequent measurement (cont.)

• Changes in the fulfillment cash flows relating to future services adjust the CSM provided that changes in fulfillment cash flows relating to a group of underlying insurance contracts also adjust the CSM.

When a loss component is recognized after initial recognition of a group of underlying insurance contracts, the recognized reinsurance income adjusts the loss recovery component of the reinsurance asset for the remaining coverage. The balance of the Loss Recovery Component may not exceed that portion of the balance of the Loss Component of the onerous group of underlying insurance contracts, which the Company expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts. Accordingly, the Loss Recovery Component is reduced to zero when the Loss Component of the underlying insurance contracts is reduced to zero.

11. Reinsurance contracts held measured under the PAA model

Reinsurance contracts held may be measured under the PAA model if they meet the criteria for applying the model, which are similar to the criteria for issued insurance contracts.

The Company measures reinsurance contracts held for which the PAA model is applied on the same basis as issued insurance contracts, with adjustments reflecting the features of reinsurance contracts held, which vary from those of issued insurance contracts.

If the Loss Recovery Component is recognized for a group of reinsurance contracts measured according to the PAA model, the Company adjusts the ARC balance since under the PAA model there is no CSM.

12. Derecognition and modifications to the terms of an insurance contract

The Company derecognizes an insurance contract when it is extinguished, i.e., when the obligation specified in the insurance contract expires or is discharged or cancelled.

Furthermore, if a modification is made to the terms of the insurance contract, which would have substantially changed the accounting treatment applied to the insurance contract had the modified terms existed on initial recognition date (hereinafter - "Material Modification of Terms"), the Company derecognizes the original insurance contract and recognizes the modified contract as a new insurance contract.

If an immaterial modification is made in the terms of the insurance contract, the Company treats changes in the cash flows arising from the modification of terms as changes in the estimated fulfillment cash flows.

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

13. Disclosure and presentation

The Company presented separately in the statement of financial position the balances of insurance contracts portfolios which constitute assets, and the balances of insurance contracts portfolios which constitute liabilities, portfolios of reinsurance contracts which constitute assets and portfolios of reinsurance contracts held which constitute liabilities.

Any asset in respect of insurance acquisition cash flow recognized before the respective insurance contracts were recognized is included in the related portfolio balance of the issued insurance contracts.

The Company divides the amounts recognized in the statement of income and other comprehensive income into:

  • A. Insurance service results, comprising insurance revenues and insurance service expenses; and
  • B. Finance revenues or finance expenses from insurance.

IFRS 17 does not require disaggregation of the RA between insurance service results and finance revenues or finance expenses from insurance. The Company opted not to apply this expedient and to disaggregate the RA between insurance service results and finance revenues or finance expenses from insurance. The Company presents separately revenues or expenses from reinsurance contracts held and revenues or expenses from insurance contracts issued.

Insurance service results

Insurance revenues reflect the amount to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for providing the services arising from a group of insurance contracts. For contracts measured in accordance with the GMM or VFA model, insurance revenues during the period is measured in accordance with the change in the LRC which relates to insurance services for which the Company expects to receive a consideration. Revenues from insurance services include:

  • (a) Claims and other expected insurance service expenses incurred, excluding repayments of investment components/ premium repayment and excluding amounts allocated to the loss component;
  • (b) Changes in RA excluding amounts allocated to the Loss Component;
  • (c) CSM release based on the coverage units;
  • (d) Other amounts including experience adjustments in respect of premiums relating to current or past service; and

B. Insurance contracts (cont.)

13. Disclosure and presentation (cont.)

Insurance service results (cont.)

(e) A portion of the premiums which relate to the recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows.

For contracts measured in accordance with the PAA model, insurance revenues for each period is the amount of expected premiums receivable for the insurance services provided during the period.

Insurance service expenses arising from insurance contracts are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred and do not include repayments of investment/premium components. Expenses from insurance services include:

  • (a) Claims and other insurance service expenses incurred;
  • (b) Losses and reversal of losses for groups of onerous insurance contracts
  • (c) Adjustments for LIC;
  • (d) Amortization of insurance acquisition cash flows; and
  • (e) Impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses on assets in respect of insurance acquisition cash flows.

Amortization of the insurance acquisition cash flows, which constitutes part of the insurance service expenses, is identical to the recovery of the insurance acquisition cash flows, which constitutes part of insurance revenues for contracts measured under the GMM or VFA model. Amortization of the acquisition costs for the period is calculated based on the coverage units.

Expenses in respect of reinsurance contracts held include the allocation of premiums paid to the reinsurer. revenues in respect of reinsurance contracts held includes amounts, which the Company expects to recover from the reinsurer, including recognition of the Loss Recovery Component in respect of onerous groups of insurance contracts. Reinsurance cash flows, which are contingent on claims on the underlying contracts, are treated as part of the claims, which the Company expects to recover from the reinsurer, while reinsurance cash flows, which are not contingent on claims of the underlying contracts (for example, ceding commissions) are treated as a reduction in the premium paid to the reinsurer. For reinsurance contracts measured under the GMM model, the allocation of premiums paid to the reinsurer represents the total changes to the asset for the remaining coverage relating to the services for which the Company expects to pay consideration. For insurance contracts measured under the PAA model, the allocation of premiums paid to the reinsurer is the expected amount of premium payments for receiving service during the period.

Finance revenues or finance expenses from insurance

Finance revenues or finance expenses from insurance include the change in the balance of a group of insurance contracts arising from:

  • A. From the effect of the time value of money and changes in the time value of money; and
  • B. The effect of financial risk and changes in financial risk, including the effect of the change in the Consumer Price Index; but
  • C. Excluding any such changes for groups of insurance contracts with direct participation features, which were carried to the Loss Component and included in insurance service expenses.

For all insurance portfolios, the Company recognizes in profit or loss insurance finance revenues or expenses for the period.

C. Financial instruments

1. Financial assets

Financial assets are measured at initial recognition at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the purchase of the financial asset, except for financial assets that are measured at fair value through profit or loss, for which transaction costs are carried to profit or loss.

The Company classifies and measures the debt instruments in its financial statements based on the following criteria:

  • (a) The Company's business model for managing financial assets, and
  • (b) Contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

The Company measures debt instruments at amortized cost when:

The Company's financial model is to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; furthermore, the contractual terms and conditions of the financial assets provide entitlement, at specified dates, to cash flows that are only principal and interest payments in respect of the outstanding principal amount.

Subsequent to initial recognition, instruments in this group are measured at amortized cost in accordance with their terms, using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.

C. Financial instruments (cont.)

1. Financial assets (cont.)

The Company measures debt instruments at amortized cost when: (cont.)

At the initial recognition, a company may irrevocably designate a debt instrument for measurement at fair value through profit or loss if such designation eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency, for example, when the underlying financial liability is also measured at fair value through profit or loss.

This group mainly includes debt assets, which do not back insurance portfolios.

Debt instruments at fair value through profit or loss:

Financial assets in this category are those, which IFRS 9 requires that they are measured at fair value or which were designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition to prevent an accounting mismatch. This category includes debt instruments, the features of the cash flows of which do not meet the Principal and Interest Test or are not held under a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows, or to collect contractual cash flows and to sell financial assets. Subsequent to initial recognition, the financial asset is measured at fair value; gains or losses arising from fair value adjustments are charged to profit or loss. This group mainly includes the debt assets in the Participating Portfolio managed on a fair value basis and debt assets, which back the insurance contracts (including designated bonds), and managed on a fair value basis or designated to the fair value through profit and loss category to prevent an accounting mismatch against the insurance liabilities.

Equity instruments and other financial assets held for trading

Investments in equity instruments do not meet the projected contractual cash flow characteristics criterion and are therefore measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Other financial assets held-for-trading, including derivatives, are measured at fair value through profit or loss, unless they are designated to be used as hedging instruments and the hedging is effective in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9.

2. Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company tests the provision for loss in respect of financial debt instruments that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss should be estimated.

C. Financial instruments (cont.)

2. Impairment of financial assets (cont.)

The Company differentiates between two situations of recognition of a provision for loss:

a) ECL (Expected Credit Loss)

Debt instruments with no significant impairment in credit quality since the initial recognition date or with a low credit risk - the provision for loss recognized for this debt instrument will take into account current expected credit losses in the 12 months period after the reporting date, or;

b) Life time ECL

Debt instruments with significant deterioration in credit quality since the initial recognition date and their credit risk is not low, the provision for loss recognized will take into account the current expected credit losses - over the balance of the useful life of the instrument.

The Company has credit facilities, which are not designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. These credit facilities constitute commitments to advance a loan, which are accounted for as off-balance sheet liabilities, but are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9.

In estimating the expected credit losses in respect of a commitment to advance a loan, the Company estimates the expected credit facility to be utilized over the expected life of the commitment. The ECL is based on the present value of the expected cash flows, which will not be received, based on a probability-weighted average of reasonably possible scenarios. The estimated expected cash flows, which will not be received, are discounted at the expected effective interest rate on the loan.

The Company has financial assets with short credit periods, such as accounts receivable for a lease, to which it applies the expedient set forth in IFRS 9, i.e., the Company measures the impairment provision at an amount equal to current expected credit losses throughout the entire life of the instrument.

The Company applies the relief provided in IFRS 9, according to which it assumes that the credit risk of a debt instrument has not increased significantly since its initial recognition date if it is determined, at the reporting date, that the instrument has low credit risk, for example - if the instrument has an external "investment grade" rating.

Furthermore, the Company estimates that when contractual payments for a debt instrument are more than 30 days past due, a significant increase in credit risk occurred, unless there is reasonable and supportable information proving that credit risk has not increased substantially.

C. Financial instruments (cont.)

2. Impairment of financial assets (cont.)

The Company deems a financial asset to have defaulted when contractual payments for the financial asset are more than 90 days past due. However, there are situations in which the Company deems a financial asset to have defaulted when external or internal information is received whereby the Company is not expected to receive all contractual payments.

The Company considers a financial asset not measured at fair value through profit or loss as a credit-impaired financial asset, when one or more events which have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred.

Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired include observable data regarding the following events:

  • A. A significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower
  • B. A breach of a contract such as a failure event, or a payment delay.
  • C. A concession granted to the borrower due to its financial difficulties, which the lender would not otherwise grant.
  • D. It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial restructuring.
  • E. The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficultiesץ
  • F. The purchase or origination of a financial asset at a deep discount, which reflects the incurred credit losses.

Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset if and only if:

  • (a) The contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have expired, or
  • (b) The Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards arising from the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset or when some of the risks and rewards upon the transfer of the financial asset remain in the hands of the Company but the Company can be said to have transferred control over the asset, or
  • (c) The Company retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows arising from the financial asset but assumes a contractual obligation to pay these cash flows in full to a third party, without any substantial delay.

C. Financial instruments (cont.)

2. Impairment of financial assets (cont.)

Derecognition of financial assets (cont.)

If the Company transfers its rights to receive cash flows from an asset but neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset nor transfers control of the asset, a new asset is recognized to the extent of the Company's continuing involvement in the asset. When continuing involvement takes the form of guaranteeing the transferred asset, the extent of the continuing involvement is the lower of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum amount of consideration received that the Company could be required to repay (the guarantee amount).

3. Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial liabilities at fair value net of transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Company measures all financial liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for:

  • (a) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss
  • (b) Financial guarantee contracts;
  • (c) Commitment to advance a loan at an interest rate which is lower than the market interest rate;
  • (d) Contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination that falls within the scope of IFRS 3.

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include liabilities held-for-trading including derivatives and liabilities for short sale. Furthermore, they include financial liabilities, which meet certain criteria, designated upon initial recognition to the fair value through profit or loss category.

At initial recognition, the Company designates a financial liability as a liability measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Upon initial recognition, the Company measures these financial liabilities at fair value, and transaction costs are stated in profit or loss. Subsequent to initial recognition, changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss, other than changes that may be attributed to changes in the credit risk of the financial liability, which are presented in other comprehensive income.

C. Financial instruments (cont.)

4. Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability if and only if it is settled - that is to say, when the obligation established in a contract is repaid or canceled or expires.

A financial liability is extinguished when the debtor repays the liability by a cash payment, other financial assets, goods or services, or is legally released from the liability.

If the terms of an existing financial liability change, the Company assesses whether the terms of the liability are materially different than the existing terms, taking into account qualitative and quantitative considerations.

When a material change has been made to the terms of an existing financial liability or a liability has been replaced with another liability between the Company and the same lender with materially different terms, the transaction is accounted for as a derecognition of the original liability and a recognition of a new liability. The difference between the balances of the above two liabilities in the financial statements is recognized in profit or loss.

In the event that a non-material change is made to the terms of an existing liability or a liability has been replaced with another liability between the Company and the same lender with terms that do not differ materially, the Company updates the liability amount, that is to say, discounts the new cash flows at the original effective interest rate, and the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

5. Embedded derivatives

In accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9, derivatives embedded into financial assets shall not be separated from a host contract. These hybrid contracts shall be measured as a whole at amortized cost or at fair value, in accordance with the criteria of the business model and the contractual cash flows.

When a host contract does not falls within the scope of the definition of financial asset, an embedded derivative is separated from the host contract and is accounted for as a derivative, if the economic characteristics and risks of an embedded derivative are not closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, the embedded instrument meets the definition of a derivative, and the hybrid instrument is not measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss.

The need to bifurcate an embedded derivative is only reassessed if there is a change in the terms and conditions of the contract that significantly modifies the cash flows from the contract.

D. First-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments

In May 2017, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published IFRS 17 - Insurance Contracts (hereinafter - "IFRS 17"). Furthermore, in June 2020 and December 2021, the IASB published amendments to the standard (hereinafter - "IFRS 17").

IFRS 17 sets rules for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts and supersedes the current guidance on this issue under IFRS 4 and the directives of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority.

The first-time application date set in IFRS 17 is January 1, 2023; however, in accordance with the requirements of the Commissioner, which were published as part of the "Roadmap for the Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 17 - Insurance Contracts" (hereinafter - the "Roadmap"), the firsttime application date of IFRS 17 in Israel was postponed to the quarterly and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025, and the transition date is January 1, 2024.

In July 2014, the IASB published IFRS 9 regarding Financial Instruments (hereinafter - "IFRS 9"), which supersedes IAS 39 and sets new rules for classification and measurement of financial instruments, with an emphasis on financial assets. The first-time application date set in IFRS 9 is January 1, 2018. In September 2016, an amendment to IFRS 4 was published, which allowed entities which issue insurance contracts and meet certain prescribed criteria to postpone the adoption of IFRS 9 to January 1, 2023 (the first-time application date of IFRS 17), in order to eliminate the accounting mismatch which may arise from the application of IFRS 9 prior to the application of IFRS 17. The Company complied with the abovementioned criteria and postponed the application of IFRS 9 accordingly. Upon the deferral of the first-time application date of IFRS 17 to January 1, 2025, the Commissioner also postponed the first-time application date of IFRS 9 to January 1, 2025, accordingly.

Due to the deferral of the first-time application date of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 in Israel to quarterly and annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2025 (instead of January 1, 2023), the Company is effectively deemed a first-time adopter of International Financial Reporting Standards as defined in IFRS 1 in its quarterly financial statements and its 2025 annual financial statements; therefore, IFRS 1 applies to these financial statements. In accordance with IFRS 1, IFRS must be applied retrospectively, excluding exceptions for which specific provisions have been set. The provisions of IFRS 1 stipulate that IFRS 17's transitional provisions should be applied upon initial application. Furthermore, IFRS 1 includes provisions with respect to the classification of financial assets, the calculation of the provision for expected credit losses and the designation of financial assets and liabilities to fair value through profit or loss upon first-time adoption.

D. First-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (cont.)

(1) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 17:

A. Recognition, measurement and presentation of insurance contracts

IFRS 17 sets rules for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts, reinsurance contracts and investment contracts with discretionary participation features. The standard presents a model that measures groups of contracts based on the Company's estimates of the present value of future cash flows expected to arise from the fulfillment of the contracts, explicit risk adjustment with respect to non-financial risk and CSM.

Under IFRS 17, insurance revenues (long-term life and health insurance products) in each reporting period represent the changes in liability for the remaining coverage relating to the services for which the Company expects to receive consideration and allocation of premiums relating to the recovery of insurance acquisition cash flows instead of revenues recognition based on the premiums charged during the period (gross premiums). Furthermore, investment components are no longer included in insurance revenues and insurance service expenses. These components represent amounts, which will be refunded to the policyholder in any case, even if an insured event did not take place, and constitute a kind of a deposit deposited by the policyholder. Therefore, this amount does not constitute a part of the consideration received by the Company in respect of the service, and its refund does not constitute part of the Company's expenses.

Insurance finance income or expenses, which are included in profit or loss, are presented separately from insurance revenues and insurance service expenses. The above disaggregation shall increase transparency as to the Company's sources of income.

The Company applies the PAA model to simplify the measurement of contracts in the P&C Insurance Segment and in short-term health insurance products, except for groups of insurance contracts, which do not qualify for application of the PAA model. The measurement of the liability with respect to the remaining coverage under the PAA model is similar to the Company's previous accounting treatment under IFRS 4. However, in its measurement of liability for incurred claims, the Company includes an explicit risk adjustment for non-financial risk. In addition, the Commissioner's Directives, which cap the discount rates applicable to acquisition costs regarding insurance premium do not apply under the New Standard. Furthermore, the level of aggregation of insurance contracts for the purpose of calculating premium deficiency varies from the one applied under IFRS 4.

D. First-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (cont.)

(1) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 17: (cont.)

A. Recognition, measurement and presentation of insurance contracts (cont.)

Previously, all acquisition expenses were recognized and presented as separate assets from the related insurance contracts ('deferred acquisition expenses') until these costs were recognized in profit or loss. Under IFRS 17, only insurance acquisition cash flows arising prior to the recognition of the associated insurance contracts are recognized as separate assets and tested for recoverability. These assets are presented in the balance of the associated portfolio of insurance contracts and derecognized when the associated contracts are recognized.

For the Company's accounting policies with respect to insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts under IFRS 17, see Section B above.

B. Transitional provisions

Changes in accounting policies arising from the application of IFRS 17 were applied retrospectively using the full retrospective application approach to the extent possible. Under the full retrospective application approach, on January 1, 2024 the Company:

  • Identified, recognized and measured each group of insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts as if IFRS 17 is applied retrospectively.
  • Derecognized balances reported in the past, which would not have existed had IFRS 17 always been applied. These balances include deferred acquisition costs in respect of insurance contracts, intangible assets relating to insurance contracts and other insurance receivables and payables. Under IFRS 17, these balances are included in the measurement of insurance contracts.
  • Recognized any differences in equity.

If full retrospective application for a group of insurance contracts and/or an asset in respect of insurance acquisition cash flows is impractical, the Company applied one of the following approaches:

a) The modified retrospective approach - to achieve the closest outcome to Full Retrospective Application possible using reasonable and supportable information available without undue cost or effort; or

D. First-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (cont.)

(1) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 17: (cont.)

B. Transitional provisions (cont.)

b) The fair value approach - in this approach the Company shall determine the contractual service margin or loss component of the liability for remaining coverage at the transition date as the difference between the fair value of a group of insurance contracts at that date and the fulfilment cash flows measured at that date.

The Company applied the full retrospective application approach to its P&C insurance portfolios and to certain health insurance portfolios, such as travel, dental, foreign workers, and short-term personal accidents insurance policies.

The Company is of the opinion that it is impractical to apply IFRS 17 retrospectively to groups of life and health insurance contracts, for the following reasons;

  • The effects of a full retrospective application cannot be determined since the required information (for example, expectations as to an insurance contract's profitability and the risk of its becoming onerous, information regarding historical cash flows and discount rates, information regarding changes in assumptions and assessments, etc.) is not collected nor available due to changing of a system, data retention requirements or other reasons.
  • The retrospective application approach requires assumptions regarding Company management's intentions in previous periods or material accounting estimates, which cannot be made without using hindsight (for example, assumptions regarding the discount rates and RA for previous periods where these assumptions were not required by the Company).

Therefore, the Company applied the modified retrospective approach to critical illness, life, individual and collective permanent health insurance portfolios for underwriting years 2020-2023.

In applying this approach, the Company made the following permitted adjustments for the purpose of setting the CSM on the transition date:

D. First-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (cont.)

(1) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 17: (cont.)

B. Transitional provisions (cont.)

  • a) The future cash flows of each group of insurance contracts are estimated on the initial recognition date as the amount of the future cash flows on the Group's transition date, adjusted to reflect the cash flows already known to have occurred between the initial recognition date of the said group and the transition date (including with respect to the cash flows actually incurred in respect of insurance contracts that ceased to exist before the transition date).
  • b) Risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA) is determined as of the Group's initial recognition date as the RA amount on the transition date adjusted to reflect the expected release from the risk prior to the transition date. The expected release from risk is determined with respect to the release from risk of similar insurance contracts, which the Company issues on the transition date.
  • c) The CSM determined as of the initial recognition date as described above is reduced as of the transition date by comparing the coverage units provided as of the transition date and the expected remaining coverage units as of the transition date.

The Company's remaining insurance contracts groups will be measured in accordance with the FVA approach.

The fair value approach - FVA

In accordance with the Commissioner's Directive, the assessment of the fair value of the liabilities and the reinsurance assets was carried out using the Appraisal Value method (hereinafter - "AV"). The calculations under this method were based - to the extent possible - on calculations of IFRS 17 and Solvency 2-based economic solvency regime.

In accordance with the AV approach, the fair value is calculated as the consideration that a market participant will agree to pay (or receive) for the insurance portfolio, such that the forecast of cash flows released from the capital, which the market participant is required to hold in each period until the portfolio is extinguished, will yield the required return on equity of the market participant.

(1) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 17: (cont.)

B. Transitional provisions (cont.)

The fair value approach - FVA (cont.)

Following are the main assumptions underlying the valuation:

  • A. Required capital: The capital requirements are based on the provisions of Solvency II in Israel. For the purpose of assessing the compensation for the Company's diversification, it is assumed that the market participant has an existing business mix similar to that of the Company. When calculating the compensation for diversification until the extinguishment of the portfolio, the Company takes into account new future sales in accordance with its current sales mix. Furthermore, the appraisal assumes that 40% of the capital requirements are financed through Tier 2 capital instruments.
  • B. Minimum economic solvency ratio target The assumption underlying the model is that a market participant will hold capital in accordance with the minimum economic solvency ratio target set for dividend distribution. In accordance with the Commissioner's Directives, the initial economic solvency ratio target required from the market participant will be based on the average of the current capital targets for dividend distribution purposes of the five largest insurance companies in Israel plus a 10% margin, and the final economic solvency ratio target required from the market participant will be based on the average of the future capital targets for dividend distribution purposes of the five largest insurance companies in Israel. Accordingly, the appraisal assumes an initial capital target of 121% in the year following the transition date, which will rise to 135% at the end of 2032 and then remain constant.
  • C. Target Return on Equity (TRE) The appraisal assumes a 13.6% return on equity based on the CAPM model with adjustments to reflect level of inherent risk in the Company's insurance portfolio mix.
  • D. Assumption of return on the assets backing the insurance portfolio The appraisal model assumes that the backing assets will generate a return at a risk-free interest rate plus an illiquidity premium.
  • E. Expenses forecast: The cash flows in respect of the expenses allocated to the insurance portfolio for the purpose of calculating the fair value are based on the expenses included in the cash flows forecast in the Company's Solvency II calculations.

D. First-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (cont.)

(1) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 17: (cont.)

B. Transitional provisions (cont.)

The fair value approach - FVA (cont.)

The fair value of a reinsurance portfolio is calculated as the difference between the fair value of the (gross) portfolios included in the reinsurance portfolio and the fair value of those portfolios net of reinsurance.

In applying the fair value approach, the Company may include in a group contracts issued more than one year apart. The Company opted to apply this expedient, rather than to divide groups into those, which include only contracts issued one year or less apart.

(2) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 9:

Classification of financial assets and financial liabilities

To determine the classification and measurement group, IFRS 9 requires that all financial assets be evaluated based on the Company's business model for managing the assets and the characteristics of the instrument's contractual cash flows. IAS 39's financial asset measurement categories (fair value through profit or loss, available for sale, held to maturity and loans and receivables) have been replaced by the following measurement categories:

  • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, including equity instruments and derivatives
  • Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, with gains or losses recognized in profit or loss upon derecognition
  • Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, with gains or losses not being recognized in profit or loss upon derecognition
  • Debt instruments at amortized cost

Under IFRS 9, derivatives embedded in a host contract, which constitutes a financial asset within the scope of IFRS 9 are not separated. Instead, the financial instrument in question is assessed in its entirety for classification purposes.

IFRS 9 did not have a material effect on the Company's accounting policies regarding the classification of financial liabilities.

D. First-time application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts, and IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (cont.)

(2) Main changes resulting from application of IFRS 9: (cont.)

Impairment of financial assets

IFRS 9 supersedes IAS 39's impairment model with a forward-looking 'expected credit losses' model. The new impairment model is applied to financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and lease receivables. Under IFRS 9, credit losses are recognized earlier than under IAS 39.

Provisions for the Transitional Period

Changes in accounting policies resulting from first-time application of IFRS 9 were applied retrospectively, including presentation of comparative figures as of the transition date, except as specified below.

  • The following assessments were made based on the facts and circumstances as of the transition date:
    • Assessment of the business model
    • Simple debt test/ SPPI test
    • Designation of financial instruments to measurement at fair value through profit or loss due to recognition or measurement inconsistency.
    • Designation of investments in equity instruments to fair value through other comprehensive income.
  • If a financial asset had a low credit risk on the transition date, the Company concludes that there was no substantial increase in credit risk since initial recognition.

      • (a) Effect of first-time application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 on the Statement of Financial Position line items: (cont.)
          1. Most of the change arises from revaluation to fair value of designated bonds instead of measurement at adjusted cost. In addition, other financial investments measured at amortized cost include a balance of credit losses totaling approx. NIS 15 million, which are fully allocated to the Other Equity Return Segment.
          1. In accordance with IFRS 17, the collectible premium balance is included in the estimated future cash flows in respect of insurance contracts and therefore it was included in the liabilities in respect of insurance contracts line item. Deferred acquisition costs attributable to long-term products in the Life and Health Insurance Segment were derecognized on the transition date against a decrease in equity. As from 2024, deferred acquisition expenses attributed to insurance contracts policies will be included in the measurement of the insurance contracts as part of the present value of the future cash flows and will reduce the value of the CSM.
          1. Costs of obtaining investment management service contracts constitute deferred acquisition expenses in respect of investment contracts.
          1. In accordance with IFRS 17, reinsurers' deposits are included in the estimated future cash flows in respect of the reinsurance contracts and therefore they were included in the reinsurance assets line item.
          1. Capital reserve in respect of available-for-sale financial assets were classified to retained earnings. Financial investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 39 will be measured at fair value through profit and loss under IFRS 9.
          1. The recognition of insurance assets arises from the measurement of life and critical illness insurance portfolios in accordance with the present value of the estimated future cash flows, which constitutes an asset, less the RA and CSM representing an unrecognized future income. For details regarding the measurement method, see Note 2B.

          1. The revaluation of liabilities in respect of insurance contracts is mainly due to the recognition of CSM and RA and the transition to discounting the liabilities based on a risk-free interest.
          1. As of the report publication date, the 2025 sectoral tax agreement has not yet been finalized, which also includes the effect of the Standards' initial application on the transition date for income tax purposes (January 1, 2025); therefore, the tax calculations in respect of the abovementioned effects of first-time application were recorded against deferred taxes.

Life Insurance and Long-Term Savings Segment

Out of the said balances, the share of CSM and RA attributed to savings portfolios, including the premium collected to cover the risk included in those portfolios totals approx.

Health Insurance Segment

Out of the said balances, the portion of the CSM and RA attributed to the individual LTC portfolio (a subsegment the Company has discontinued), net of reinsurance, totals approx. NIS 1.9 billion and a total of approx. NIS 0.5 billion, respectively. The remaining CSM and RA balances are for health and critical illness risk products, with most of the amount attributed to a health portfolio. On June 30, 2024, the Company reclassified approx. NIS 300 million from CSM to RA for the individual long-term care portfolio. The reclassification was carried out following the publication of a draft revised circular by the Capital Market Authority according to which RA should be calculated in the individual long-term care portfolio before the effect of diversification.

Property and Casualty Segment

Most of the RA balance in this segment is in respect of the compulsory motor and liability subsegments.

          1. The adjustments are mainly due to the fact that under IFRS 17 the long-term life and health insurance revenues recognized in the period are measured in accordance with the amount of decrease in the LRC arising from the service provided during the period instead of revenue recognition based on the premium charged during the period and the fact that investment components/premium refunds in the savings policies are not recognized in insurance revenue.
          1. The main adjustments arise from investment components/premium repayments in the savings policies, which are not recognized in insurance service expenses, changes in insurance reserves such as LAT reserve and reserve for fixed premium, which are no longer required under IFRS 17, financial effects on insurance liabilities, which are recognized in the insurance contract finance expenses line item in accordance with IFRS 17, presentation of expenses, which are not directly attributable to insurance contracts and expenses relating to noninsurance activities in the other operating expenses line item, and differences in the recognition insurance acquisition cash flows as an expense during the period.
          1. The adjustments are mainly due to the fact that under IFRS 17 the long-term life and health reinsurance expenses recognized during the period are measured in accordance with the amount of the decrease in the ARC arising from the service provided during the period instead of recognition of the expense based on the premium charged during the period and due to reinsurance commissions, whose amount is not derived from the claims for the underlying contracts, and which are presented as a decrease in expenses in respect of reinsurance.
          1. The adjustments are mainly due to reinsurance commissions, whose amount is derived from claims for the underlying contracts, and which are presented under the reinsurance claims; revenues from reinsurance fees and commissions are classified to reinsurance revenues and expenses under IFRS 17.

          1. For an explanation regarding the measurement method, see Note 2B.
          1. The adjustment arises from the classification of expenses, which are not directly attributable to insurance contracts, to the other operating expenses line item.

E. Significant estimates and judgments

1.Insurance contracts

Fulfillment cash flows

Fulfillment cash flows include:

  • Estimated future cash flows;
  • An adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows; and
  • Risk adjustment in respect of non-financial risk

The Company's goal in estimating the future cash flows is to determine the expected value of a full range of possible outcomes. The Company primarily uses deterministic forecasts to estimate the present value of the future cash flows.

Estimated future cash flows

In estimating future cash flows the Company makes unbiased use of all reasonable and supportable information available at the reporting date without undue cost or effort. This information includes internal and external historical data regarding claims and other experience, revised to reflect current expectations regarding future events.

The estimated future cash flows reflect the Company's perspective regarding current conditions as of the reporting date, provided that the estimates of relevant market variables are consistent with observable market prices.

When estimating the future cash flows, the Controller takes into account current expectations of future events, which may affect those cash flows. However, the Company shall not take into account current expectations of future changes in legislation, which would change or discharge the present obligation or create new obligations under existing insurance contracts until the change in legislation is substantively enacted.

Cash flows within the boundary of an insurance contract are those that relate directly to the fulfilment of the contract. These cash flows include payments to (or on behalf of) a policyholder, insurance acquisition cash flows and other costs incurred in the fulfillment of the contract.

Insurance acquisition cash flows arise from selling, underwriting and starting a group of insurance contracts, which are directly attributable to the portfolio of insurance contracts to which the group belongs. Other costs incurred in the fulfillment of the contracts include:

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

Fulfillment cash flows (cont.)

Fulfillment cash flows include: (cont.)

Estimated future cash flows (cont.)

  • Claims handling costs, policy management and maintenance costs;
  • Current commissions to agents received on the basis of premium collection (recurring commissions);
  • Costs incurred by the Company in respect of the provision of investment management services;
  • Costs, which the Company will incur in performing investment activities to the extent that the Company performs them to enhance benefits from insurance coverage for policyholders. Investment activities enhance benefits from insurance coverage if the entity performs those activities expecting to generate an investment return from which policyholders will benefit if an insured event occurs; and

Insurance acquisition cash flows and other costs incurred in the fulfillment of the contract include direct costs and an allocation of fixed and variable overheads.

Contract boundary

The assessment of the contract boundary, which defines which cash flows are included in the measurement of a contract, requires the exercising of judgment and taking into consideration the Company's substantive rights and obligations under the contract.

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

Contract boundary (cont.)

Following are the contract boundary of material policies, which were identified:

A. Individual health insurance policies issued from 2016 and thereafter

As part of the reform, which came into effect on February 1, 2016 it was stipulated that the insurance period in individual health insurance policies will be two years, and the policy will be renewed every two years on a fixed renewal date, without the need to undergo a medical assessment or a further qualification period. Changes to the policy's tariffs and/or terms and conditions shall be made subject to the approval of The Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner"). By virtue of Insurance Circular 2022-1-13 regarding "Tariff Updating in Renewable Health Insurance Policies", which was published on September 20, 2022, the insurance companies may - subject to compliance with certain conditions - revise the premium in renewable health insurance policies without being required to receive the Commissioner's approval. Through the publication date of the circular, the Commissioner did not grant approvals for changes in tariffs in respect of existing coverages. In addition, the circular caps the rate of premium revision at the rate of the loss ratio (LR), which ranges between 75% to 85%, depending on the calculation method and the size of the Company. Therefore, it is impossible to say that there is a practical ability to reassess the portfolio's risks and accordingly to set a new price, which fully reflects those risks. Accordingly, the periods subsequent to fixed renewal date are included in the contract's boundary.

B. Life insurance policies, which include a savings component without a guaranteed annuity conversion factor on the policy issuance date

Life insurance policies, which include a savings component to the retirement age and permanent health insurance and/or life insurance coverage are insurance contracts, which often also provide an additional pension insurability (hereinafter - the "Annuity Option"). The Annuity Option is not included in the contract boundary, since the Company has the practical ability to reassess the contract's risks and to set an annuity conversion factor, which reflects those risks. Subsequent to its exercise, the Annuity Option shall be recognized as a new insurance contract in accordance with the standard's recognition rules.

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

Contract boundary (cont.)

C. Reinsurance contracts held

In accordance with IFRS 17, except for cash flows in respect of underlying contracts transferred to the reinsurer as of the balance sheet date, the reinsurance contract boundary may also include cash flows in respect of underlying contracts, which the Company expects to sell (and deliver to the reinsurance) in the reporting period, if the Company and the reinsurer do not have the right to cancel or reprice the obligation to deliver those futures.

Key assumptions used in the Life and Health Segment

  • A. Mortality and morbidity rates
    • 1) Active mortality based on the CMI Series 2000 standard British mortality table, adjusted to reflect the Company's claims history in accordance with periodic mortality studies for the relevant products.
    • 2) Mortality of pensioners (with respect to annuity recipients) in accordance with the appendixes and the life expectancy increase assumption as published by the Commissioner in the Consolidated Circular Section 5, Part 2, Chapter 1 - Measurement Appendix C - Measurement of Liabilities, including the amendment of the provisions of the Circular Provisions on Measuring Liabilities - Updating the Demographic Assumptions in Life Insurance and Updating the Mortality Improvements Model for Insurance Companies and Pension Funds of July 27, 2024. An increase in the mortality rate assumption, due to an increase in actual mortality rates to a level, which is higher than the current level, will result in an increase in the estimated future cash flows in respect of the policyholders' death before they reach retirement age and a decrease in the estimated future cash flows in respect of lifetime annuities. It should be noted that in recent decades, there has been a reversal of the trajectory - of increasing life expectancy and lower mortality rates. The mortality assumption used to calculate the estimated future cash flows takes into account an assumption in respect of a future increase in life expectancy.

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

Key assumptions used in the Life and Health Segment (cont.)

  • A. Mortality and morbidity rates (cont.)
    • 3) Morbidity rates refer to the prevalence of claims for morbidity from critical illnesses, PHI, long-term care, surgery and hospitalization, accident disability, etc. These rates are determined based on the Company's experience or studies by reinsurers. In the long-term care and PHI Subsegments, the annuity payment period is based on Company's experience or studies of reinsurers.
    • 4) The higher the assumption regarding the morbidity rate, the higher the estimated future cash flows due to morbidity from critical illnesses, permanent health insurance, long-term care, surgery and hospitalization, and accidental disability insurance.
  • B. Annuity takeup rate

In respect of funds deposited through 2008, life insurance contracts, which include a savings component, were managed under two tracks: equity or annuity. In some of the contracts, the policyholder may select the track at the retirement date. Since the estimated future cash flows differs in each of these two tracks, the Company must determine the rate of policies in which the policyholders will select the annuity track. This rate is set in accordance with the Company's experience as observed in periodic studies, the different policy types and funds. As from 2008, all savings premiums deposited under life insurance are designated for annuity.

C. Cancellation rates

(Discontinuation of premium payment, settlement of policies, payment of redemption value) - in accordance with Company's experience with the different products as observed in periodic cancellation studies, while making adjustments in accordance with the Company's estimates in cases where past experience does not faithfully represent the Company's expectations as to future changes.

Estimated future cash flows for P&C claims

The ultimate cost of claims is estimated using a range of actuarial claim prediction techniques, such as the Chain-Ladder and Bornhuetter-Ferguson methods.

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

Estimated future cash flows for P&C claims (cont.)

The key underlying assumption of these techniques is that past development of the Company's claims can be used to predict the development of future claims and consequently the ultimate cost of claims.

The choice of the appropriate actuarial method for each insurance subsegment and for each event or underwriting year is determined by exercising judgment on the degree of the method's suitability to the subsegment, and sometimes the various methods are combined. The assessments are mainly based on past experience in the development of claim payments and/or development of the amount of specific payments and estimates. The assessments include assumptions about the average claim cost, claims handling costs, and prevalence of claims. Additional assumptions may take into account changes in interest rates and timing of payments. Claim payments include direct and indirect expenses to settle claims, less subrogation and deductibles.

The use of actuarial methods based on the development of claims is particularly appropriate when there is concrete and satisfactory information on claim payouts and/or individual assessments to estimate the total expected cost of claims. When the information available in the actual claim history is insufficient, the actuary, at times, uses a calculation which weights a known estimate (in the Company and/or industry) such as LR and the claims' actual development. Greater weight can be estimated based on experience as time goes on and further information about the claims accumulates.

In addition, qualitative assessments and judgment are included regarding the extent to which past trends will not continue in the future. For example, due to a one-time event, internal changes such as a change in the portfolio mix, underwriting policies and claims handling procedures, as well as the effect of external factors such as court rulings, legislation, etc. When such changes were not fully reflected in past experience, the actuary updates the models and/or makes specific provisions based on statistical and/or legal assessments, as applicable.

The actuarial assessment is based on statistical estimates that include a component of uncertainty. The statistical estimate is based on various assumptions, which will not necessarily materialize, such that the actual cost of claims may be higher or lower than the statistical estimate.

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

Estimated future cash flows for P&C claims (cont.)

In large claims, which are not based on statistical estimates, and in segments which do not have an appropriate statistical model, the assumptions are based on the opinion of the Company's experts and the recommendations of their legal counsel.

The estimate of the contingent claims in the Compulsory Motor Subsegment for the Company's share in the Pool is based on a calculation carried out by the Pool's actuary with the necessary adjustments.

The share of reinsurers in the contingent claims is estimated taking into account the type of agreement (proportional or non-proportional) and the actual claims data.

Discount rates

The Company determines the interest rate curves for all groups of insurance contracts using the bottom-up approach. In this approach, the discount rate is obtained by adding the illiquidity premium (which reflects the liability's illiquidity) to the risk-free interest rate curve. The risk-free interest rate curve is based on yields to maturity of liquid bonds of the Israeli government. The last liquid point is the 25th year. Beyond this point, the Company will set the risk-free interest rate curves by way of extrapolation - in accordance with the Smith-Wilson method - up to the ultimate forward rate, which will be set at 60 years.

The full illiquidity premium is set based on the average spread of the bonds included in the Tel-Bond 60 Index. This premium is added in full or in part to the risk-free interest rate curve in accordance with the illiquidity characteristics of the relevant cash flows.

  • (*) In savings portfolios (which include paid annuity policies) an illiquidity premium of 50% to 100% is added to the risk-free interest rate curve. In the long-term care portfolio an illiquidity premium of 80% to 100% is added to the risk-free interest rate curve. In all other life and health insurance portfolios a uniform illiquidity premium of 50% is added to the risk-free interest rate curve.

Risk adjustment in respect of non-financial risk

The RA represents the compensation which the Company demands for bearing the uncertainty regarding the amount and timing of the cash flows arising from non-financial risks, which include insurance risk and other nonfinancial risks, such as lapse risk, and expenses risk. The RA reflects the amount that the insurer will rationally pay to be relieved of the uncertainty that future cash flows will exceed the present value of the estimated future cash flows.

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

Risk adjustment in respect of non-financial risk (cont.)

In life and health insurance, the risk adjustment is determined according to the value at risk (VaR) technique, which reflects the expected loss due to the materialization of negative scenarios relevant to the risk characteristics of the various coverages. Similarly to the solvency principles, the scenarios reflect events, which may occur in the forthcoming year (one-year time horizon), and may affect the cash flow both during and after the year. The confidence interval determined for the purpose of calculating the VaR at the level of the Life and Health Insurance Segments is 75% except for a long-term care insurance portfolio for which a 90% confidence interval was determined in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives and in order to reflect its inherent risk characteristics. For Property and Casualty Insurance, the Company the implements principles of the "best practice" approach, which is an approach based on the VaR technique with a long horizon. The confidence interval determined for the calculation of the VaR at the level of Property and Casualty Insurance Subsegments is 75%.

In determining the non-financial risk adjustment at the portfolio level, the Company takes into account the compensation for diversification between the Company's various portfolios and segments. For reinsurance contracts held, the Company calculates the non-financial risk adjustment in the manner detailed above, on a gross (without the effect of reinsurance) and retention (after the effect of reinsurance) basis, and sets the non-financial risk adjustment transferred to the reinsurer as the amount of the difference between gross and retention as detailed above.

The contractual service margin (CSM) and setting the coverage units

The CSM is a component of the asset or liability in respect of a group of insurance contracts representing the unrealized gain, which the Company will recognize when it will provide services in the future. A proportionate share of the CSM amount in respect of a group of insurance contracts is recognized in profit or loss as insurance revenues in each period to reflect the insurance services provided within the group of insurance contracts during that period. This amount is determined as follows:

  • Identification of the coverage units in a group
  • The Company allocates the CSM at the end of the period equally to any coverage unit provided in the current period and those expected to be provided in the future (before any amount is recognized in profit or loss to reflect the insurance services provided during the period)

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

1.Insurance contracts (cont.)

The contractual service margin (CSM) and setting the coverage units (cont.)

• The Company recognizes in profit or loss the amount allocated to the coverage units provided during the period

The number of coverage units in a group is the quantity of coverage services provided by the contracts in the group, determined by considering for each contract the quantity of the benefits provided under a contract and its expected coverage period. The total amount of the coverage units of each group of insurance contracts is revalued at the end of each reporting period.

The insurance contract services include:

  • A. Coverage for an insured event (insurance coverage);
  • B. Management of the underlying items on behalf of the policyholder in contracts with direct participation features (hereinafter - "Investment-Related Service"); and
  • C. Generation of an investment return for the policyholder in contracts without direct participation features (hereinafter - "Investment-Return Service").

Insurance contracts without direct participation features may provide an Investment-Return Service if, and only if:

  • A. An investment component exists, or the policyholder has a right to withdraw an amount;
  • B. The entity expects the investment component or amount the policyholder has a right to withdraw to include an investment return (an investment return could be below zero, for example, in a negative interest rate environment); and
  • C. The entity expects to perform investment activity to generate an investment return.

The Company has identified an Investment-Return Service in policies which include a non-yield-dependent savings component.

IFRS 17 does not determine whether the time value of money should be taken into consideration when allocating the contractual service margin to the coverage units, such that the allocation will reflect the expected timing of the coverage units, which will be provided.

E. Significant estimates and judgments (cont.)

The contractual service margin (CSM) and setting the coverage units (cont.)

For the purpose of allocating the contractual service margin to the coverage units, the Company discounts the coverage units.

When a group of insurance contracts comprises several types of insurance coverage, the Company weighs the coverage units in accordance with the relative scope of the insurance service of the type of coverage, which is measured in accordance with the relative cost of the type of coverage. In addition, when a group of insurance contracts comprises an insurance service and an investment service, the Company weighs the different coverage units in accordance with the relative cost of the type of service.

The coverage units of reinsurance contracts held are consistent with the coverage units of the underlying contracts with adjustments in respect of the differences in the scope of the services provided.

The following are the coverage units used to release the contractual service margin of the main portfolios:

component

The Company identifies an investment component of a contract by determining the amount to be paid to the policyholder in all scenarios that have a commercial substance. These scenarios include situations where the insured event has occurred or the contract expires or terminated without the occurrence of an insured event. Investment components are not included in insurance revenues and insurance service expenses.

Policies with a savings component without an annuity conversion factor include an investment component. These policies have explicit redemption values. The investment component, which is not included in investment revenues and insurance service expenses, is set as the policy's cash surrender value.

Policies, which include a savings component with a guaranteed annuity conversion factor, do not include an investment component, since the Company is not committed to pay any amount if the policyholder does not redeem the contract and does not survive until the first annuity payment date. However, all reimbursements of the cash surrender value (including in case of death) are treated as reimbursements of premiums for unutilized coverage and will not be recognized in insurance revenues and insurance service expenses. In addition, if at the beginning of the pension period the policyholder opted for a pension track, which includes a guaranteed period of payments, these amounts will also be treated as reimbursement of premium for unutilized coverage and will not be recognized in insurance revenues and insurance service expenses.

2.Financial assets

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether the credit risk of a financial instrument has increased substantially since the initial recognition date. The entity measures the provision for credit losses in accordance with forecasts. The possible implications for the financial statements are an increase or decrease in the amount of the provision for impairment, which will be recognized in profit or loss.

F. Disclosure of the new IFRSs in the period prior to their application

1. IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements

In April 2024, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (hereinafter the "New Standard") - which supersedes IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements (hereinafter - "IAS 1").

The New Standard is aimed at improving the comparability and transparency of communication of financial statements.

The New Standard includes requirements previously included in IAS 1 and introduces new requirements on presentation within the statement of profit or loss, including the presentation of totals and subtotals required under the New Standard, disclosure of management-defined performance measures, and new requirements for the aggregation and disaggregation of financial information.

The New Standard does not change the provisions regarding recognition and measurement of items in the financial statements. However, since items in the statement of profit or loss must be classified into one of five categories (operating, investing, financing, income taxes, and discontinued operations), it may change the structure of the entity's statement of income. In addition, the publication of the New Standard triggered limited amendments to other accounting standards, including IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flow - and IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting.

The New Standard was applied retrospectively as from annual periods beginning on January 1, 2027 or thereafter. In accordance with the resolution of the Israel Securities Authority, early application is permitted as from the period starting on January 1, 2025, provided a disclosure is made.

The Company is studying the effect - on the consolidated financial statements - of the New Standard, including the effect of consequential amendments to other accounting standards.

F. Disclosure of the new IFRSs in the period prior to their application (cont.)

2. Amendment to IAS 21 - The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates

In August 2023, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 21, The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates (hereinafter - the "Amendment") in order to clarify how an entity assesses whether a currency is exchangeable into another currency, and the accounting requirements (measurement and disclosure), that an entity is required to comply with in instances where a currency is not exchangeable into another currency.

The Amendment sets the manner by which a spot exchange rate will be set when a currency is not exchangeable. The disclosure requirements as per the Amendment are designed to assist and enable users of the financial statements to understand how the currency which is not exchangeable into the other currency, affects, or is expected to affect, the entity's financial performance, financial position, and cash flows.

The Amendment was applied for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2025 or thereafter. Early application is permitted but will need to be disclosed. In applying the Amendment, an entity shall not restate comparative information. Alternatively, if the currency is not exchangeable at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which the Amendment is implemented for the first time (the first-time application date), an entity shall translate assets, liabilities and equity in accordance with the provisions of the Amendment, and the differences on the first-time application date shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of the retained earnings and/or the reserve from translation differences, in accordance with the provisions of the Amendment.

The Company believes that the above amendment is not expected to have a material effect on the Company' consolidated financial statements.

  • (3) Premiums received based on billing dates.
  • (4) Enlargements of existing policies are not included as part of the annualized premium in respect of new business, but as part of the operating results of the original policy, except if recorded as a new policy in the policies system.

  • (5) Until December 31, 2023, the Company provided collective long-term care insurance services to the members of Maccabi Healthcare Services (hereinafter - "Maccabi"), including operational services for long-term care policyholders of Maccabi Magen - Mutual Medical Insurance Association Ltd. In accordance with the agreement with Maccabi, The Company will continue paying insurance benefits in the existing claims and will deal with new claims that will be filed as long as the insured event took place through December 31, 2023. For that purpose, the Company will retain under its management a claims reserve, which will include the reserves amount, plus a margin of conservatism of 20%, in accordance with the provisions of the agreement. In accordance with the above, most of the decrease in liabilities in respect of insurance contracts and yield-dependent investment contracts in the Health Insurance Segment arises from the discontinuation of long-term care insurance for Maccabi members.

3. Valuation techniques

The fair value of investments traded actively in regulated financial markets is determined based on market prices as of the reporting date. For investments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using transactions that were recently made at fair market value, reference to the current market value of another instrument which is substantially the same, discounted cash flows, or other valuation methods.

a) Illiquid debt assets

The fair value of illiquid debt assets, which are measured at fair value through profit and loss, and the fair value of illiquid financial debt assets, for which fair value information is provided solely for disclosure purposes, is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows from those assets. The discount rates are based primarily on yields on government bonds and spreads of corporate bonds as measured on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. The quoted prices and interest rates used for discounting purposes are determined by a company which won the tender, published by the Ministry of Finance, for the setting up and operating a database of quoted prices and interest rates for institutional entities.

b) Illiquid shares

The fair value of the investment in illiquid shares was estimated using the discounted cash flow model (DCF). The estimate requires management to make certain assumptions regarding the model's data, including expected cash flows, discount rates, credit risk and volatility. The probabilities in respect of the estimates in the range can be measured reliably, and management uses them to determine and evaluate the fair value of these investments in illiquid shares.

D. Financial liabilities (cont.)

    1. Valuation techniques (cont.)
    2. c) Derivatives

The Company enters into transactions involving derivative financial instruments with multiple parties, especially financial institutions. The derivatives were valued using valuation models with observable market inputs are mainly interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency forwards. The most frequently used valuation techniques include prices of forwards and swap models using present value calculations. The models combine a number of inputs, including the credit rating of the parties to the financial transaction, spot/forward exchange rates, prices of forward contracts and interest rate curves. All derivative contracts are fully back against cash; therefore, there is no counterparty credit risk and non-performance risk of the Company itself in respect thereof.

d) Liability for Repo

The Company enters into REPO transactions with multiple parties, especially financial institutions. The underlying assets of these transactions are not derecognized from the Company's statements of financial position, since the Company is still exposed to the risks and economic benefits arising therefrom. Accordingly, the consideration received in the transaction is presented against a financial liability. The differences between the consideration received in the transaction and the future purchase price represents the transaction's implicit effective interest rate, which is used by the Company in the subsequent measurement of the financial liability in the statements of financial position.

It is management's policy to maintain a strong capital base in order to retain Company's ability to continue its activities such that it will be able to generate returns to its shareholders and support future business activities. Phoenix Insurance, Phoenix Investment House group, Pension and Provident management company, Gama, and other institutional entities consolidated in the financial statements are subject to capital requirements set by the Commissioner.

A. Principles of the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime

Phoenix Insurance is subject to the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime in accordance with implementation provisions as published in June 2017 and revised in October 2020 (hereinafter - the "Economic Solvency Regime").

Economic solvency ratio

The economic solvency ratio is calculated as the ratio between the Insurance Company's recognized economic equity and the solvency capital requirement.

The recognized economic equity capital is determined as the sum of the core tier 1 capital derived from the economic balance sheet and debt instruments that include loss absorption mechanisms (Additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital instrument).

Economic balance sheet items are calculated based on economic value, with insurance liabilities calculated on the basis of a best estimate of all expected future cash flows from existing businesses, without conservatism margins, and plus a risk margin.

The solvency capital requirement (SCR) is designed to estimate the economic equity's exposure to a series of scenarios set out in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, and which reflect insurance risks, market risks and credit risks as well as operational risks.

The Economic Solvency Regime includes, among other things, transitional provisions in connection with compliance with capital requirements, and which allow increasing the economic capital by deducting from the insurance reserves an amount calculated in accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime (hereinafter - the "Deduction"). The Deduction will decrease gradually until 2032 (hereinafter - the "Transitional Period").

A. Principles of the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime (cont.)

Economic solvency ratio (cont.)

In April 2024, the Capital Market Authority published a letter regarding the calculation of deduction during the Transitional Period in an economic solvency regime under the application of IFRS 17, Insurance Contracts. In accordance with the Consolidated Circular's provisions regarding "Economic Solvency Regime", an insurance company may, after receiving the Capital Market Commissioner's approval, include a deduction during the Transitional Period in the calculation of insurance reserves, in accordance with the definitions set in the provisions through the end of 2032 (hereinafter - the "Deduction"). The purpose of the published letter is to revise the method applied in the calculation of the deduction, such that it will no longer rely on financial statement data, which include a calculation of insurance liabilities in accordance with IFRS 4. The letter sets rules regarding the calculation of the deduction subsequent to the implementation of IFRS 17, which amend the rules set in the Letter of Principles. During May 2025, the Company received the Commissioner's approval regarding the Deduction Rates for the Transitional Period.

In accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime Report, the economic Solvency Ratio Report as of the December 31 and June 30 data of each year shall be included in the first periodic report published after the calculation date.

Furthermore, in view of the listing of Additional Tier 1 capital for trading on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's main list, and in accordance with Phoenix Insurance's undertakings under the deed of trust, as from 2023 the Company publishes, in the framework of the Report of the Board of Directors, the estimated quarterly solvency ratio as of March 31 and September 30, as part of the periodic report published following the calculation date. The calculation of the estimated quarterly solvency ratio is not audited or reviewed by the independent auditor, and the controls conducted by Phoenix Insurance for the purpose of publishing the estimated ratio are less in scope compared to those executed for the purpose of publishing the Solvency Ratio Report, which is published in accordance with the Commissioner's directives. In addition, if the Company's solvency ratio falls to 120% or below, it will publish a Full Solvency Ratio Report on a quarterly basis in a semi-annual format, instead of an estimated ratio.

Phoenix Insurance published its Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31 2024 along with the publication of the Financial Statements. In accordance with the Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024, Phoenix Insurance has surplus capital, both when calculation is made having no regard to the transitional provisions and when it is made taking into account the Transitional Provisions.

A. Principles of the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime (cont.)

Economic solvency ratio (cont.)

The calculation as of December 31, 2024 made by Phoenix Insurance was reviewed by Phoenix Insurance's independent auditors, in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE 3400) - The Examination of Prospective Financial Information. This standard is relevant to audits of solvency calculations and does not constitute part of the auditing standards that apply to financial statements.

It should be emphasized that the projections and assumptions on the basis of which the Economic Solvency Ratio Report was prepared are based mainly on past experience as arising from actuarial studies conducted from time to time. In view of the reforms in the capital market, insurance and savings, and the changes in the economic environment, past data do not necessarily reflect future results. The calculation is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future events, steps taken by management, and the pattern of the future development of the risk margin, that will not necessarily materialize or will materialize in a manner different than the assumptions used in the calculation. Furthermore, actual results may materially vary from the calculation, since the combined scenarios of events may materialize in a manner that is materially different than the assumptions made in the calculation.

In their special report, the independent auditors noted that they did not review the appropriateness of the Deduction During the Transitional Period as of December 31, 2024, except for verifying that the Deduction amount does not exceed the expected discounted amount of the risk margin and the capital required for solvency in respect of life and health insurance risks arising from existing businesses during the Transitional Period in accordance with the pattern of future development of the required capital, which affects both the calculation of the expected capital release and the release of the expected risk margin as detailed in the provisions on calculation of risk margin. Furthermore, attention is drawn to the Solvency Ratio Report regarding the uncertainty derived from regulatory changes and exposure to contingent liabilities, the effect of which on the solvency ratio cannot be estimated.

For further details, see Section 3.1 to the Report of the Board of Directors, and the Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024.

B. Dividend

1) Capital distribution target

According to the letter published by the Commissioner, in October 2017, (hereinafter - the "Dividend Distribution Letter") an insurance company shall be entitled to distribute a dividend only if, following the distribution, the company has a solvency ratio - according to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime - of at least 100%, calculated without taking into account the transitional provisions and subject to the economic solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors. The aforesaid ratio shall be calculated without the relief granted in respect of the original difference attributed to the acquisition of the provident funds and management companies. In addition, the letter set out provisions for reporting to the Commissioner.

Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors has set a minimum economic solvency ratio target and target range based on Solvency II. The economic solvency ratio target range, within which the Company seeks to be during and at the end of the Transitional Period, taking into account the Deduction during the Transitional Period and its gradual reduction is 150%-170%. In addition, the minimum economic solvency ratio target, taking into account the transitional provisions, is set at 135%. In addition, on August 21, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors increased the minimum economic solvency ratio target by 3 percentage points without taking into account the Provisions during the Transitional Period - from a rate of 115% to a rate of 118% beginning on September 30, 2024.

On December 30, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors decided to further increase the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the Provisions during the Transitional Period by further 3 percentage points from 118% to 121%, beginning on December 31, 2024 as part of Phoenix Insurance's preparations for increasing the minimum solvency ratio target by the end of the Transitional Period. This minimum economic solvency ratio target is expected to reach 135% at the end of the Transitional Period, in accordance with the Company's capital plan.

2) Phoenix Insurance's dividend distribution policy

On October 27, 2020, Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approval of the dividend distribution whereby, as from 2021, Phoenix Insurance shall distribute an annual dividend at a rate of 30% to 50% of its distributable comprehensive income as per its audited annual consolidated financial statements for the relevant year, as long as Phoenix Insurance meets the minimum economic solvency ratio targets in accordance with Solvency II, as described above.

B. Dividend (cont.)

2) Phoenix Insurance's dividend distribution policy (cont.)

On March 28, 2022, Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approved a revision of the dividend distribution policy that will apply to future dividend distributions to be made in connection with Phoenix Insurance's financial results for 2022 and thereafter. According to the update, the rate of dividend will not change, but Phoenix Insurance will take steps to distribute a dividend twice a year:

  • Dividend at the discretion of the Board of Directors on the approval date of the Financial Statements for the second quarter of each calendar year.
  • Supplementary dividend in accordance with the policy on the annual report's approval date of each calendar year.

On May 28, 2024, Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approved a revision of its dividend distribution policy whereby, as from 2024, Phoenix Insurance shall distribute an annual dividend at a rate of 40% to 60%.

On May 15, 2025, Phoenix Insurance's Board of Directors approved a revision to the dividend distribution policy, according to which Phoenix Insurance will distribute a dividend on a quarterly basis rather than on a semiannual basis.

It is hereby clarified that this policy should not be viewed as an undertaking by Phoenix Insurance to distribute dividends, and that any actual distribution shall be individually subject to the Board of Directors' approval, at its sole discretion; the Board of Directors of Phoenix Insurance may decide on actual distribution at different (higher or lower) rates, or not to distribute any dividend. Furthermore, the execution of any actual distribution shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of the law applicable to any dividend distribution, including, among other things, the provisions of the Companies Law, 1999, and to compliance with the financial covenants Phoenix Insurance has undertaken or/or will undertake to comply with, to Phoenix Insurance's having sufficient distributable profits on the relevant dates, to the condition that the distribution shall not adversely affect the terms of Phoenix Insurance's bonds and/or its cash flows, and to the extent to which Phoenix Insurance needs cash to finance its activities, including future investments, as shall be from time to time, and/or its expected and/or planned future activities. The Board of Directors of Phoenix Insurance may review the dividend distribution policy from time to time and decide, at any given time, taking into account business considerations and the legal and regulatory provisions applicable to Phoenix Insurance, to change the dividend distribution policy, including the rate of dividend to be distributed.

As detailed in Section B below, in recent years, the filing of motions to certify class actions - both against the Group and against companies engaged in similar areas of activity - has become routine; however, it has become apparent over time that such claims have no material effect on the Group's business. Moreover, the difficulty in assessing the chances of the lawsuit being allowed within the time frame requiring the publication of an immediate report (i.e. immediately prior to the date of receipt of the lawsuit by the company) led to a practice whereby - prior to the revision of the Reporting and Disclosure Policy - immediate reports regarding lawsuits were published before an assessment was made of the lawsuit's chances of success, and accordingly, a verbal description of those lawsuits was included in the note regarding contingent liabilities and commitments in the subsequent financial statements.

In accordance with the current Reporting and Disclosure Policy, a claim deemed material at the time of its receipt by the Group (in accordance with a quantitative and qualitative assessment), as stated below, will be reported to the public effective immediately and information thereof will be detailed in the notes to the financial statements. A lawsuit, which will not be considered material upon its receipt by the Group (in accordance with the quantitative and qualitative assessment as detailed below), will not be reported under an immediate report; rather, it will be included in the summary table in Section G below. In certain cases, as detailed below, the Company shall provide a verbal description of such a claim in the notes to the financial statements.

A. Testing materiality for reporting and disclosure purposes regarding class action certification motions, class actions, and legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of business (cont.)

Quantitative assessment - If the claimed amount in a claim against any of the Group's companies at the time of its receipt (before its prospects have been examined) exceeds 5% of the total equity attributable to the relevant Company's shareholders (the Company or Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd.), the claim shall be deemed material. It is clarified that the Company shall be entitled to determine, in certain cases in which the circumstances of the claim indicate as much - even if a claimed amount exceeds the aforementioned threshold - it shall not be deemed a material claim, and vice versa - if the qualitative assessment (see below) reflects this both upon receipt of the claim by the Company and during the life of the claim.

Qualitative assessment - As part of this assessment, several aspects of the claim will be examined, first and foremost - whether the claim relates to the Group's core business or to a unique field such as securities law, competition law, or whether it has special broad implications, or may have a material impact on the Group's business, or whether the claim may have a material impact on the overall information which serves as the basis for investment decisions regarding the Company's securities made by investors.1

It is clarified that, in light of the duration of legal proceedings (sometimes over many years) and their development, a claim which did not amount to a material claim at the time of its receipt by the Company (and accordingly - was not published in an immediate report), may develop into a material claim as it progresses. In such a case, the Company will include a disclosure about the claim at a later date in the notes to the financial statements shortly after it has become material and will assess the need to issue an immediate report regarding such development in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The abovementioned revision of the Group's Reporting and Disclosure Policy came into force on March 12, 2025. It is clarified that lawsuits, in respect of which immediate reports were published from January 1, 2025 until March 12, 2025 (i.e., prior to the entry into force of the Reporting and Disclosure Policy), and which are not deemed material lawsuits under the Reporting and Disclosure Policy, are not included in the narrative disclosure in Section C to this note.

1 In doing so, the Company will take into account various considerations, such as the identity of the plaintiff or group of plaintiffs, identity of the defendants, anticipated effects if the claim is certified as a class action, and in case it is certified by the court - the manner in which the process is expected to be conducted, its complexity and its cumulative effects on the Group, the existence of similar claims on similar grounds, etc.

A. Testing materiality for reporting and disclosure purposes regarding class action certification motions, class actions, and legal proceedings outside the ordinary course of business (cont.)

It should also be noted that the quantitative threshold for including a verbal annotation in a note to the financial statements about a claim regarding which no immediate report was published at the time of its receipt by the Company, but has become material during its life, will be determined by the Company from time to time. In addition, the Company may include a verbal disclosure in a note to the financial statements regarding a claim that has become material even though at the time of its receipt by the Group it was not considered as such, due to other qualitative considerations.

B. Class actions - motions to certify lawsuits as class actions and lawsuits certified as class actions

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of motions to certify class actions filed against the Group and in the number of lawsuits recognized as class actions. This is part of an overall increase in motions to certify class actions in general, including against companies engaged in the Group's areas of activity, which stems mainly from the enactment of the Class Actions Law, 2006 (hereinafter - the "Class Actions Law"). This trend substantially increases the Group's potential exposure to losses in the event of a ruling against the Group companies in class actions.

Motions to certify class actions are filed through the hearing procedure mechanism set forth in the Class Actions Law. The hearing procedure for motions to certify class actions is divided into two main stages: The first stage is the motion to certify the claim as a class action (hereinafter - the "motion to certify" or the "certification stage", respectively). Provided the motion to certify is rejected by the court, the hearing stage at the class action level ends. A ruling at the certification stage may be subject to a request for appeal to the appellate courts. In the second stage, if the motion to certify is accepted, the class action will be heard (hereinafter - the "class action stage"). A judgment at the class action stage can be appealed to the appellate courts. Within the mechanism of the Class Actions Law, there are, inter alia, specific settlement agreements, both in the certification stage and in the class action stage, as well as arrangements with regard to the plaintiff's withdrawal of the motion to certify or the class action.

In the State of Israel, filing class action lawsuits does not entail payment of a fee derived from the claimed amount; therefore the amounts of such claims may be significantly higher than the actual exposure for that claim.

Section C to this note below includes a disclosure regarding lawsuits, which meet the criteria for material lawsuits, in accordance with the quantitative and qualitative parameters set in the Reporting and Disclosure Policy (hereinafter - "Material Lawsuits").

B. Class actions - motions to certify lawsuits as class actions certified as class actions (cont.)

In the material claims detailed in Subsections 1-5 under Section C below, in which, in management's opinion - that is based, inter alia, on legal opinions - the Group's defense claims are more likely than not to be accepted and the motions to certify lawsuits as class actions to be rejected - no provision was included in the financial statements, except for motions to certify lawsuits as class actions in which the Group is willing to reach a settlement. In material claims (some / all) of which are more likely than not to be rejected, and in which the Group is willing to reach a compromise, provisions were included in the financial statements to cover the exposure as assessed by the Group or a provision in the amount for which the Group is willing to settle, as the case may be.

Management's assessment, which is based, inter alia, on legal opinions received, is included in the financial statements under adequate provisions, where such provisions were required, to cover the exposure as assessed by the Group or the amount for which the group is willing to settle, as the case may be.

Regarding the Material Lawsuit detailed in Subsection 6 to Section C below, at this preliminary stage, it is impossible to assess the chances of the motion to certify and therefore no provision was included in the Financial Statements in respect of this lawsuit.

In addition to the Material Lawsuits described in Section C below, 47 motions to certify class actions are pending against the Group (including lawsuits which were approved and/or are under appeal), which the Company believes do not constitute Material Lawsuits under the Reporting and Disclosure Policy, and therefore no narrative description thereof was included in this note (hereinafter - the "Remaining Lawsuits").

The total claimed amount specified by the plaintiffs in the Remaining Lawsuits is approx. NIS 2.93 billion; in respect of all 53 lawsuits, the total claimed amount specified by the plaintiffs is approx. NIS 6.59 billion (compared to approx. NIS 6.79 billion in respect of all 52 lawsuits as of December 31, 2024). It is noted that for 27 of these 47 lawsuits, the amount claimed was not estimated.

In the Remaining Lawsuits, allegations are made, among other things, regarding unlawful payments (including the collection of premiums or payments or other components not in accordance with the terms of the policy and/or non-payment of components such as interest and/or linkage); failure to pay/ underpayment of insurance benefits in violation of the provisions of the law and/or the terms of the policy; interpretation of the terms of the policy and claims regarding policy breach; allegations regarding non-disclosure of information to policyholders in accordance with Statutory Provisions; allegations regarding breach of regulatory obligations; allegations regarding breach of the Privacy Protection Law, 1981 and/or the Communications Law (Bezeq and Broadcasting), 1982; etc.

B. Class actions - motions to certify lawsuits as class actions certified as class actions (cont.)

In the management's opinion, based, among other things, on legal opinions, and/or on the position of the management of the Group's consolidated companies, which is based on the opinions of their legal counsels (as applicable) - the Financial Statements include adequate provisions for the Remaining Lawsuits, to the extent required.

Regarding all class action certification motions (including lawsuits which were approved and/or are under appeal), which were mostly filed against the Group on various matters pertaining to insurance contracts and to the Group's ordinary course of business, the Group provided insurance reserves.

C. Material class actions - motions to certify lawsuits as class actions certified as class actions

* For additional claims concluded between January 1, 2025 and March 13, 2025, see Note 43A3, Sections 17-18 of the table of concluded claims in the Company's Financial Statements as of December 31, 2024, published on March 13, 2025 (Ref. No. 2025-01-016702).

E. Legal and other proceedings

The following are legal and other proceedings against the Group, which are deemed material in accordance with the Reporting and Disclosure Policy. For proceedings where, in the opinion of management - which is based, among other things, on the legal opinion it has received - it is more likely than not that the Group's defense claims will be allowed and the proceeding will be dismissed, no provision was included in the financial statements.

For proceedings where it is more likely than not that the Group's defense claims will be dismissed, in whole or in part, the financial statements include provisions to cover the exposure estimated by the Group. In management's opinion, which is based, among other things, on legal opinions it received, the financial statements include adequate provisions, where provisions were required, to cover the exposure estimated by the Group.

  • A. In December 2021, Phoenix Insurance received a letter from the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority in connection with the restriction of insurance coverages in accordance with Regulation 45 to the Income Tax Regulations (Rules for Approval and Management of Provident Funds), 1964. As part of the said letter, Phoenix Insurance was requested to transfer information and check whether it acted in accordance with provisions of the law referred to in the letter, and should it failed to act in accordance with the said provisions, to repay the cost of insurance coverage allegedly collected not in accordance with the relevant provisions. The letter states that it was sent, among other things, against the backdrop of a legal proceeding currently being conducted against another insurance company in connection with this issue. On April 28, 2022, Phoenix Insurance responded in writing to this letter. The Authority's decision has yet to be issued.
  • B. In April 2023, a letter was received from the Capital Market Authority, along with a draft audit report regarding the collective long-term care insurance plan administered by Phoenix Insurance for members of the Meuhedet HMO. The draft audit report focuses on the adequacy of the management of the money held in the fund between 2017 and 2019 and mainly concerns the manner in which contingent claims funds were managed.

In June 2023, Phoenix Insurance responded to the letter and to the draft audit report. In July 2023, Phoenix Insurance added upon its response and a hearing was held before the ISA. The Authority's decision has yet to be issued.

C. The Group is a party to legal and other proceedings, which are not insurance claims, including, among other things, claims made by customers, former customers, agents and various third parties in immaterial amounts and for a total amount of approx. NIS 45 million. The causes of action against the Group in these proceedings are different.

F. Complaints

Complaints are filed against the Group from time to time, including complaints to the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") in relation to policyholders' rights under insurance policies and/or the law. These complaints are handled on an ongoing basis by the Group's Public Complaints Department. The Commissioner's decisions with regard to these complaints, to the extent that a decision has been made in respect thereof, are sometimes issued as sweeping decisions relating to a group of policyholders. Before issuing a final version of his decisions, the Commissioner usually issues a draft decision.

Furthermore, as part of the Commissioner's inquiries with the Group, following complaints and/or audits on his behalf, demands are made from time to time to receive various data regarding the Group's handling of insurance policies in the past and/or a demand to reimburse funds to groups of policyholders and/or other guidelines. In addition, the Commissioner has the power, among other things, to impose financial sanctions on the Group in accordance with the data that was and/or will be transferred thereto following inquiries as described above.

In addition to the motions to certify claims as class actions filed against the Group and the legal and other proceedings, there is a general exposure, which cannot be assessed and/or quantified, due to, among other things, the complexity of the services provided by the Group to its policyholders. The complexity of these services inevitably leads to interpretive claims and other claims due to information gaps between the Group and third parties to the insurance contracts in connection with a long list of commercial and regulatory terms. This exposure is reflected, among other things, in the areas of pension savings and long-term insurance, including health and long-term care insurance, in which the Group operates. Insurance policies in these areas of activity are assessed over many years in which policies, regulation and legislation change and new court rulings are issued. These changes are implemented by automated systems that undergo frequent changes and adjustments. The complexity of these changes and the application of the changes over many years lead to an increased operational exposure. In addition, allowing new interpretations for the provisions of insurance policies and long-term pension products sometimes affects the Group's future income in respect of its existing portfolio, in addition to the exposure embodied in claims for compensation for customers in respect of past activity.

It is impossible to anticipate the types of claims that will be raised in this area or the exposure arising from these and other claims in connection with insurance contracts - claims which are raised through, among other things, the procedural mechanism set forth in the Class Actions Law.

F. Complaints (cont.)

In addition, some of the Group's products have long terms and are particularly complex in light of the various legislative arrangements both in the field of product management and in the field of taxation, attribution of contributions, investment management, the policyholder's employment status, his contributions, etc.

The Wage Protection Law, 1958 imposes a liability on the Group's institutional entities, in accordance with the circumstances specified in the law, in respect of employers' debts to the institutional entities, where such debts have not been repaid on time. The Group is in the process of improving the data on employers' debts and policyholders' rights, during the course of which lawsuits were filed against employers and the debts of other employers were rescheduled. The Company continues with the ongoing treatment and improvement of employers' debts in accordance with the provisions of the law.

G. Summary table

The following table summarizes the amounts claimed in all pending motions to certify claims as class actions, certified class actions and other material claims against the Group, as noted by the plaintiffs in the statements of claim filed on their behalf. It is hereby clarified that the claimed amount does not necessarily constitute a quantification of the exposure amount assessed by the Group, since these are assessments on behalf of the plaintiffs which will be resolved as part of the legal proceedings. It is further clarified that the table below does not include proceedings that have been concluded, including proceedings that concluded after a settlement agreement was approved in respect thereof.

To The Shareholders of The Phoenix Financial Ltd. Dear Madam/Sir,

Re: Special report to the review of the separate interim financial Information pursuant in accordance with Regulation 38D of the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970

Introduction

We have reviewed the separate interim financial information disclosed in accordance with Regulation 38D to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970 of The Phoenix Financial Ltd. ("the Company") as of March 31, 2025, and for the three months period then ended. The Company's board of directors and management are responsible for the separate interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion regarding the separate interim financial information based on our review.

We did not review the separate interim financial information taken from the interim information of investees, in which the total investment amounted to approximately NIS 2,071,966 thousand as of March 31, 2025, and the Company's share in of their earnings amounted to approximately NIS 88,570 thousand for the three months period then ended, respectively. The separate interim financial statements of those companies were reviewed by other auditors, whose review reports have been furnished to us, and our conclusion, insofar as it relates to the financial statements in respect of those companies, is based on the review reports of the other auditors.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with Review Standard (Israel) 2410 of the Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Israel, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and of applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit performed pursuant to Israeli GAAP and, as a result, does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we are not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying separate interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Regulation 38D to the Securities Regulations (Periodic and Immediate Reports), 1970.

The Board of Directors of

Phoenix Insurance Company

Re: Examination of the Application of Certain Instructions of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings regarding the Solvency II-Based Economic Solvency Requirement of The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. (hereinafter - the "Company") as of December 31, 2024

We examined the capital required to maintain the solvency capital requirement (hereinafter - "SCR") and the economic capital of The Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. of December 31, 2024 (hereinafter - the "Information"), included in the Company's Economic Solvency Ratio Report attached hereby and carries our office's seal for identification purposes (hereinafter - the "Report").

The Board of Directors and management bear the responsibility for the preparation and presentation of the Information drawn up in accordance with the directives of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") regarding Solvency II-based economic SCR of an insurance company as included the Commissioner's circular No. 2020-1-15 of October 14 2020, and in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives regarding principles for calculation of Deduction during the Transitional Period in a Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime of October 15 2020 (hereinafter - the "Directives").

The calculations, forecasts and assumptions on which the preparation of the Information was based fall under the responsibility of the Board of Directors and management.

We conducted our examination in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements No. 3400 - The Examination of Prospective Financial Information, and in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives, as included in the Consolidated Circular in Chapter 7, Section 5, Part 1, Independent Auditor, which provides guidance as to audit of Economic Solvency Ratio Report.

We did not examine the appropriateness of the amount of Deduction during the Transitional Period as of December 31, 2024 as presented in Section 2 to the Report, except for verifying that the Deduction does not exceed the expected discounted amount of the risk margin and the solvency capital requirement in respect of life and health insurance risks arising from existing businesses during the Transitional Period in accordance with the pattern of future development of the capital requirement, which affects both the calculation of the expected capital release and the release of the expected risk margin as detailed in the provisions on calculation of risk margin.

Except for the abovementioned in connection with the appropriateness of the Deduction during the Transitional Period, based on the examination of the evidence supporting the calculations, the forecasts and the assumptions, as referred to below, which were used by the Company's Board of Directors and management in the preparation of the information nothing came to our attention which caused us to believe that the forecasts and assumptions, as a whole, do not constitute a reasonable basis for the information in accordance with the Directives. Furthermore, in our opinion, the information, including the method employed to determine the assumptions and forecasts, was prepared and presented in all material respects in accordance with the Directives.

It should be emphasized that the projections and assumptions are based mainly on past experience, as arising from actuarial studies conducted from time to time. In view of the reforms in the capital market, insurance and savings, and the changes in the economic environment, past data do not necessarily reflect future results. The information is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future events, steps taken by management, and the pattern of the future development of the risk margin, which will not necessarily materialize or will materialize in a manner different than the assumptions used in the information. Furthermore, actual results may materially vary from the information, since the combined scenarios of events may materialize in a manner that is materially different than the assumptions made in the information.

We draw attention to Section D - comments and clarifications regarding the solvency ratio, the uncertainty derived from regulatory changes and exposure to contingent liabilities, the effect of which on the solvency ratio cannot be estimated.

A. Overview and Disclosure Requirements

Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime

The information provided below was calculated in accordance with the provisions of Circular 2020- 1-15 of the Commissioner of the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings (hereinafter - the "Commissioner") - "Amendment to the Consolidated Circular concerning Implementation of a Solvency II-Based Economic Solvency Regime for Insurance Companies" (hereinafter - the "Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime"), was prepared and presented in accordance with Chapter 1, Part 4 Section 5 of the Consolidated Circular as revised in Circular 2022-1-8 (hereinafter - the "Disclosure Provisions").

The Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime set a standard model for calculating eligible shareholders' equity and the regulatory solvency capital requirement (SCR), with the aim of bringing insurance companies to hold buffers to absorb losses arising from the materialization of unexpected risks to which they are exposed. The solvency ratio is the ratio between the eligible shareholders' equity and the regulatory solvency capital requirement.

The eligible shareholders' equity is composed of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital. Tier 1 capital includes shareholders' equity calculated through assessing the economic value of an insurance company's assets and liabilities in accordance with the circular's provisions, and Additional Tier 1 capital. Additional Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital include equity instruments with loss absorption mechanisms, including Subordinated Tier 2 capital, Hybrid Tier 2 capital and Tier 3 capital, which were issued prior to the circular's effective date. The circular places restrictions on the composition of shareholders' equity for SCR and MCR purposes (see below), such that the rate of Additional Tier 1 capital shall not exceed 20% of the Tier 1 capital, and such that the rate of components included in Tier 2 capital shall not exceed 40% of the SCR without taking into account the Provisions of the Transitional Period, and shall not exceed 50% of the SCR under the Provisions for the Transitional Period.

The eligible capital is compared to the capital requirement when there are two levels of capital requirements:

  • The capital required to maintain an insurance company's solvency (hereinafter "SCR"). The SCR is comprised of risks to which the Company is exposed and is based on forward-looking calculation of the impact of the materialization of different scenarios, while taking into account the correlation of the different risk factors, based on the guidance in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime.
  • Minimum capital requirement (hereinafter "MCR" or "minimum capital requirement"). In accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the minimum capital requirement shall be equal to the highest of the amount of the minimum Tier 1 capital requirement under the "Requirements of the Previous Capital Regime" and an amount derived from insurance reserves and premiums (as defined in the Solvency Circular), with a floor of 25% and a cap of 45% of the SCR.

The eligible capital and the capital requirement are calculated using data and models which are based, among other things, on forecasts and assumptions that rely mainly on past experience. These calculations are highly complex.

Phoenix Insurance Company Ltd. 5

The Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime include, among other things, Provisions for the Transitional Period, which are based on increasing the eligible capital by deducting from the insurance reserves an amount that will be calculated as detailed in Section b below. The Deduction Amount will decrease gradually until 2032 (hereinafter: the "Deduction during the Transitional Period").

Publication of Economic Solvency Ratio Report

In accordance with the Consolidated Circular, the Economic Solvency Ratio Report in respect of the December 31 and June 30 data of each year shall be included in the first periodic report published subsequent to the calculation date.

Furthermore, in view of the listing of Additional Tier 1 capital on the main list, and in accordance with The Phoenix Insurance's undertakings under the deed of trust, as from 2023 the Company publishes an estimated quarterly solvency ratio as of March 31 and September 30, as part of the periodic report published following the calculation date. The calculation of the estimated quarterly solvency ratio is not audited or reviewed by the independent auditor, and the controls conducted by The Phoenix Insurance for the purpose of publishing the estimated ratio are less in scope compared to those executed for the purpose of publishing the solvency ratio report, which is published in accordance with the Commissioner's directives. If the Company's solvency ratio goes down to 120% or less, it will publish a Full Solvency Ratio Report on a quarterly basis in a semi-annual format, instead of an estimated ratio.

Forward-looking information

The data included in this Economic Solvency Ratio Report, including the eligible and the solvency capital requirement are based, among other things, on forecasts, assessments, and estimates of future events, the materialization of which is uncertain and is not under the Company's control, and which should be considered as "forwardlooking information" as the term is defined in Section 32A to the Securities Law, 1968. Actual results may differ from the results reflected in this Economic Solvency Ratio Report, if such forecasts, assessments and estimates, either in whole or in part, fail to materialize or materialize in a manner different than anticipated, including, among other things, with respect to actuarial assumptions (including mortality rates, morbidity rates, recovery rates, cancellations, expenses, takeup of pension benefits, rate of release of the risk margin and underwriting income rate), future tax arrangements, assumptions regarding future management actions, risk-free interest rates, capital market returns, future revenue, and damage in catastrophe scenarios.

C. Calculation Methodology

The Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was calculated and prepared in accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime.

Economic balance sheet

The economic balance sheet is calculated in accordance with the detailed rules and directives published by the Commissioner, which are based on the European Solvency II rules, with adjustments to reflect the characteristics of the economic environment and products in Israel. The purpose of the rules is to reflect the economic value of the balance sheet items in accordance with the Commissioner's approach. In accordance with the Directives, the insurance liabilities are calculated based on the best estimate of all expected future cash flows from existing businesses, without conservatism margins and plus a risk margin, which represents the addition to the insurance liabilities that is expected to be required from another insurance company to assume the insurance company's insurance liabilities. In accordance with the Directives, the risk margin is calculated using the cost of capital method, at a rate of 6% per year of the expected capital requirement in respect of insurance risks over the life of the existing businesses as described below. The economic balance sheet is prepared based on the Company's standalone financial statements plus investees, whose main occupation is holding rights in real estate properties. The economic balance sheet attributes zero value to intangible assets and deferred acquisition costs other than investment in "Insurtech" as defined in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, and the Commissioner's approval in that respect was obtained, as required.

Increasing economic capital according to the Provisions for the Transitional Period

The Company opted for the current alternative provided by the Provisions for the Transitional Period, whereby the economic capital may be increased by gradually deducting from the insurance reserves until 2032 (hereinafter - the "Deduction during the Transitional Period" or the "Deduction Amount"). With regard to the Deduction during the Transitional Period, a letter was addressed to insurance companies managers titled "Principles for calculating Deduction during the Transitional Period in the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime" (hereinafter - the "Letter of Principles"). Pursuant to the Letter of Principles, the Deduction during the Transitional Period shall be calculated by dividing insurance policies issued through December 31, 2016 into homogeneous risk groups. The aforesaid Deduction shall be calculated as the difference between insurance reserves (retention) as per the economic balance sheet including the risk margin attributed thereto (without adjusting the fair value of designated bonds) and the insurance reserves (retention) as per the Financial Statements. This difference shall be deducted on a linear basis until December 31, 2032.

The Company ensures that the deduction balance at each reporting date (hereinafter - the "Deduction Value During the Transitional Period") shall be proportionate to the expected increase in the solvency ratio calculated excluding expedients during the Transitional Period, and factors in at least the expected amortization of the SCRs and risk margin of the current portfolio as of the calculation date.

The Company recently recalculated, as of the reporting date, the Deduction Amount as of December 31, 2024. For further details regarding the Deduction Amount, see Section 2A(2) below.

Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024

Further to the application of IFRS 17, on April 10, 2025, the Commissioner issued guidance regarding the calculation of the amount of Deduction Amount after the application of the standard (starting from the Solvency Ratio Report as of June 30, 2025). In accordance with the guidance, the ratio between the calculated amount of Deduction Amount as of December 31, 2024 and the amount of BE and RM components less the addition of the value of Hetz bonds (for a guaranteed return portfolio) should be calculated for each homogeneous risk group (hereinafter - "Deduction Rates").

After the application of IFRS 17, the Deduction Amount will be determined by multiplying the Deduction Rates calculated as of December 31, 2024 for each homogeneous risk group, by the amount of the BE and RM components less the addition of the value of Hetz bonds (for a guaranteed return portfolio) as of the calculation date. The maximum Deduction Amount for each reporting period will be equal to the amount of Deduction of all homogeneous risk groups, amortized, on a straight line basis, between December 31, 2019 and the end of 2032.

During May 2025, the Company received the Commissioner's approval regarding the Deduction Rates for the Transitional Period.

Solvency capital requirement (SCR)

The calculation of the solvency capital requirement is based on an assessment of the economic shareholders' equity's exposure to the following risk-weighted components set in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime: life insurance risks, health insurance risks, property and casualty insurance risks, market risks and counter-party default risks. These risk-weighted components include sub-risk-weighted components with respect to specific risks to which the insurance company is exposed. The exposure assessment of the economic shareholders' equity to each sub-risk component is carried out based on a defined scenario set out in the guidance. The determination of the solvency capital requirement is based on the sum of the capital requirements in respect of the risk-weighted sub-components and the sub-risk weighted components, as stated above, net of the effect of the risk diversification in the Company in accordance with the correlations assigned to them under the Directives, and net of the loss absorption adjustment due to deferred tax, as detailed in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime. Furthermore, the calculation of the solvency capital requirement includes components of the capital requirement for operational risk and for management companies (where relevant).

The capital requirement for each of the risks is calculated in accordance with the Company's exposure to that risk, taking into account the parameters set in the Directives. In accordance with the Directives, the capital requirement represents the scope of equity that will allow the insurance company to absorb unexpected losses in the forthcoming year and meet its obligations to policyholders and beneficiaries on time, with a 99.5% certainty level.

Loss absorption adjustment due to deferred tax asset

In accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, an insurance company may recognize a loss absorption adjustment with respect to deferred tax assets up to the amount of the balance of the deferred tax reserve included in the economic balance sheet plus a tax asset against future profits up to 5% of the basic solvency capital requirement (BSCR), provided that the following conditions are met:

  • The insurance company is able to demonstrate to the Commissioner that it is probable that it will have future taxable income against which the tax assets may be utilized.
  • The future profits shall arise only from property and casualty insurance or from Not Similar to Life Techniques (NSLT) (short term health insurance) only.

D. Comments and clarifications

1. General

The Economic Solvency Ratio Report includes, among other things, forecasts based on assumptions and parameters based on past experience, as they arise from actuarial studies conducted from time to time, and on Company's assessments regarding the future, to the extent that it has relevant and concrete information which can be relied upon. The information and studies are similar to those used as the basis for the Company's financial statements as of as of December 31, 2024. Any information or studies obtained or completed after the reporting date of the Company's annual report as of December 31, 2024 were not taken into account.

It should be emphasized that in view of the reforms in the capital, insurance and savings market and the changes in the economic environment, past data are not necessarily indicative of future results, and the Company is unable to reliably assess the effect of the reform and the changes. The calculation is sometimes based on assumptions regarding future events and steps taken by management, which will not necessarily materialize or will materialize in a manner different than the assumptions used in the calculation. Furthermore, actual results may materially vary from the calculation, since the combined scenarios of events may materialize in a manner that is materially different than the assumptions made in the calculation.

It should be emphasized that the results of the models used in the calculation of the eligible shareholders' equity and the solvency capital requirement are highly sensitive to the forecasts and assumptions included therein, as well as to the manner by which the Directives are implemented. The economic solvency ratio is highly sensitive to market variables and other variables and accordingly may be volatile.

2. Future effects of legislation and regulatory measures known as of the report's publication date and exposure to contingent liabilities

a) The field of insurance has been subject to frequent changes in relevant legislation and regulatory directives. For more information, see Sections 2.1 and 2.3. to Part B and Section 4.1 in Part D of the Description of the Corporation's Business in the 2024 Periodic Report and Section 1.2 to the Report of the Board of Directors and in the Periodic Report for the period ended March 31, 2025.

The legislation and regulatory measures may impact the Company's economic solvency ratio. The calculation of the solvency ratio does not reflect the entire potential effect of the aforesaid legislation and regulatory measures and of other developments that are not yet reflected in practice in the data; this is since to date the Company is unable to assess their entire effect on its business results and solvency ratio. In this regard, it is noted that the application of the various components of IFRS 17, which came into force

in Israel on January 1, 2025 may affect the Company's solvency ratio. The Company believes that at this stage, no material effects are expected as a result of the application of the standard.

  • b) In accordance with the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the value of contingent liabilities in the economic balance sheet is determined based on their value in the accounting balance sheet in accordance with the provisions of IAS 37; this measurement does not reflect their economic value. It is not possible to assess the effect of the uncertainty arising from the exposure to contingent liabilities, including such exposure's effect on the Company's future profits and economic solvency ratio. For details regarding the exposure to contingent claims as of December 31, 2024, see Note 39 to the Financial Statements for 2024. For an update as to developments in this exposure after reporting date, see Note 8 to the financial statements as of March 31, 2025.
  • C) Calculation of the amount of Deduction Amount for the Transitional Period under the provisions of IFRS 17 – see Chapter C above.

** Subsequent to the report date, as of December 31, 2024, Bonds (Series P and Q) totaling approx. NIS 786 million were issued (immediate report of April 17, 2025, Ref. No.: 2025-01-027737). The abovementioned issuance was recognized as Tier 2 capital up to the level of the quantitative limit.

Subsequent to the balance sheet date as of December 31, 2023, approx. NIS 400 million in Bonds (Series D) were redeemed (immediate report dated January 2, 2024, Ref. No.: 2024-01-000765). The abovementioned redemption does not affect the solvency ratio as of December 31, 2023 in view of the surplus Tier 2 capital that the Company holds in excess of the quantitative limit.

For details regarding the economic solvency ratio without applying the Provisions for the Transitional Period, and regarding the target economic solvency ratio and restrictions applicable to the Company in connection with dividend distribution, see Section 9 below.

Explanations to main changes in capital surplus and in the economic solvency ratio compared to last year:

▪ In the reporting period, there was an increase in the risk-free interest rate curve and an increase in the Consumer Price Index in Israel. The increase in the interest rate increased the capital surpluses as well as the solvency ratio of the Company; this increase was offset against the increase in inflation rate in Israel.

Economic Solvency Ratio Report as of December 31, 2024

  • In accordance with the Commissioner's Directives, the Company recalculated the value of the Deduction Amount during the Transitional Period as of December 31, 2024. Following the said recalculation, there was a decrease of approx. NIS 929 million in the Deduction Amount compared to December 31, 2023 (from NIS 3,355 million to NIS 2,426 million, before linear amortization and approx. NIS 572 million after the linear amortization). As a result, the Company's Capital Surplus declined. For further details regarding the recalculation of the Deduction for the Transitional Period see Section 2A(2) below and Section C above.
  • The solvency ratio results as of December 31, 2024 include the effect of the Amendment to the Consolidated Circular - Updating the Demographic Assumptions published on July 24, 2024. The effect of this circular is a decrease of approx. 3% in the solvency ratio including applying the Provisions for the Transitional Periodin the Transitional Period.
  • During 2024, the Company implemented several actuarial studies, including: revision of assumptions regarding the cancellation rates, a study regarding morbidity in the personal accidents sub-subsegment, and the completion of a study regarding pension takeup rate (TUR). The effect of the study regarding the cancellation rates on executive insurance products in particular resulted in a decrease in the solvency ratio; this effect was largely offset by a reduction in capital requirements and risk margin (RM) due to the effect of the study on additional insurance products. Overall, the studies do not have a material effect on the Company's solvency ratio.
  • During the reporting period, the Company's Capital Surplus increased as a result of positive returns in the investment portfolios, which were partly offset by an increase in capital requirements in respect of the market risk-weighted component, mainly due to an increase in exposure to the equity component compared to last year, and due to an increase in the symmetric adjustment component (SA).
  • In the reporting period, there was a natural increase in the capital surplus and solvency ratio of the Company due to the amortization in the capital requirement for existing life and health insurance products, which reduces the solvency capital requirement and the risk margin (RM). Furthermore, the Capital Surplus and the solvency ratio were positively affected by sales in the P&C Insurance segment.
  • The results of the economic solvency ratio as of December 31, 2024 were down due to a distribution of a cash dividend in the amount of NIS 250 million, which was paid in the third quarter of 2024. The results were also down to a distribution - as dividend in kind - of Phoenix Mortgages (Gold) Ltd.'s loans totaling approx. NIS 574 million, distribution of the Company's stake in Bizi Finance Ltd.'s shares totaling approx. NIS 19 million, distribution of the Company's stake in Leader Capital Markets & Investments Limited Partnership's participation units totaling approx. NIS 6 million and a NIS 170 million cash dividend, which was declared simultaneously with the publication of this report.
  • For details regarding other equity transactions subsequent to the balance sheet date, see footnote in the above table.

Implications of the Iron Swords War

The Company is exposed to declines on the financial markets and to slowdown, as well as to other risks arising from the War. For further details on sensitivity and exposure to risk factors, see also Note 37 to the Financial Report as of December 31, 2024. At this stage, there is uncertainty regarding how the War will develop, its scope, and duration. As of the report publication date, since December 31, 2024 there has been an increase in the CPI-linked risk-free interest, and equity markets were up. For information about the sensitivity of results to changes in share indices and the index-linked risk-free interest, see Chapter 8 - Sensitivity Tests - in this report. For further details regarding the ramifications of the War, see Section 1.3.2 to the 2024 Annual Financial Statements and the Company's Financial Statements as of March 31, 2025.

Key changes compared with December 31, 2023

  • For explanations about key changes in Tier 1 capital, see Section 3 above.
  • For more information regarding the changes in the Deduction during the Transitional Period, see Section 2A(2) below.

Section 2A - Information about economic balance sheet

The fair value of assets and liabilities in the economic balance sheet was calculated in accordance with the provisions included in the chapter dealing with measurement of assets and liabilities for financial statements purposes in the Consolidated Circular (Code of Regulations), except for items for which other provisions apply as per the Solvency Circular, as follows:

(1) Liabilities for insurance contracts, risk margin (RM) and investment contracts and reinsurance assets

Liabilities in respect of insurance contracts and investment contracts are calculated in accordance with Part A Chapter 4 of the Solvency Circular based on a best estimate (hereafter - "BE" or "Best Estimate") on the basis of assumptions that are mainly a result of projecting to the future existing experience relating to past events, within the environment in which the Company operates, and without conservatism factors. As a rule, with respect to life and Health SLT liabilities, the Company applied the embedded value (EV) calculation methodology in Israel, and with respect to property and casualty insurance - on the basis of the section in the Commissioner Position entitled "Best Practice for Calculation of Insurance Reserves in Property and Casualty Insurance for Financial Reporting Purposes".

The calculation of SLT life and health insurance liabilities contracts was carried out by discounting the Company's expected future cash flows using a model applied to information available in the Company's operational systems as to insurance coverages, and to many demographic, economic and behavioral assumptions. The projected cash flows include, for example, projected premiums in view of the expected cancellation rates, net of the expenses that the Company will incur in respect of the coverages, including fees and commissions to agents, expected claims, etc.

This cash flow is discounted based on an interest rate curve set by the Commissioner which is based on the real yield to maturity of bonds of the Government of Israel (hereinafter - "riskfree interest"), with convergence in the long-term to a fixed real rate of 2.6% (UFR) plus a margin (VA) set by the Commissioner.

The calculation of the liabilities does not include cash flows in respect of future sales; however, it does include an assumption that the Company will continue receiving premiums from existing businesses (excluding in respect of policies without an insurance risk, including investment contracts). Furthermore, the calculation assumes that the Company shall continue as a going concern, i.e., that the Company's activity will not change, and therefore, some of the fixed expenses in the future shall not be allocated to the current portfolio, but rather to a new business which is expected to be sold in the future.

It is likely that the actual cash flows will vary to some degree on another from the estimates made on a best estimate basis, even if the underlying parameters of the calculation will not change in any way. See also Section C1 above - comments and clarifications.

As stated above, the measurement of the insurance liabilities in the economic balance sheet is carried out by discounting the projected cash flows, including future profit, by a risk-free interest plus VAT and taking the UFR into consideration, on the basis of a best estimate that does not include conservatism margins, where the risk is reflected in the RM component, which

is a separate liability. This measurement differs from the measurement applied in the financial statements, where insurance liabilities are estimated with conservatism margins using the discounting methods and rates described in the risk management note of the annual financial statements.

Risk margin - In addition to the insurance liabilities based on a best estimate, a component of the risk margin is calculated which reflects the total cost of capital that another insurance company would be expected to require in order to receive the insurance company's total insurance liabilities, calculated on the basis of a best estimate. The risk margin is calculated in accordance with the Commissioner's Directives, based on a capital cost rate of 6%, and is discounted at an adjusted risk-free interest rate, but excluding the VA component and based on current and future capital requirements. The future capital requirement is calculated in accordance with the "risk factor method", by changing the capital requirement components calculated as of the reporting date in accordance with the projected development of the risk factors attributed thereto. These factors are designed to reflect the development of the standard model risks over time. The calculation does not take into account the capital requirement for market risks.

Limitations and qualifications with regard to calculation of the best estimate

  • Generally, the underlying assumptions of the models were formulated mainly on the basis of studies and analyses which are based on Company's experience over the past few years, which did not include extreme events. Although there is low probability that extreme events will occur, the Company is unable to estimate this probability or the extent of the effect of those events. Accordingly, such events were not taken into account in the determination of the models' underlying assumptions.
  • The determination of the BE should be based on an estimation of the distribution of the potential BEs. With no available significant statistical data that can be used to evaluate the distribution of BE for all demographic and operational factors in life and health SLT, the Company used real assumptions of each and every parameter, according to the expected value of each relevant factor, without taking into account any correlation or dependency between the different assumptions, or between the assumptions and external economic parameters such as taxation, interest or employment levels in Israel. Since the Company did not have sufficient data, when calculating the BE it did not check the level of correlation between demographic and operational assumptions (such as the rate of cancellations) and assumptions pertaining to market conditions (such as the interest rate), which may materially affect the BE.
  • In many cases, the future cash flows refer to periods of tens of years into the future. The studies on which the underlying cash flow assumptions rely are based on management's best knowledge, mainly recent years' experience. It is highly uncertain whether the underlying cash flow assumptions will, indeed, materialize, including as a result of future regulatory changes which may have a material effect.

Limitations and qualifications with regard to calculation of the risk margin (RM)

The risk margin is calculated using the cost of capital method, at a rate of 6% in accordance with the guidance of the Economic Solvency Regime, and this rate does not necessarily reflect the cost of capital that is expected to be required from another insurance company or reinsurer in order to assume the Company's insurance liabilities. In this context, it should be emphasized that the capital requirements are based on the model used to calculate the best estimate, despite its limitations as described above.

Assumptions underlying the insurance liabilities calculation

Demographic and operating assumptions

The calculation's underlying assumptions were set in accordance with the Company's best estimates of relevant demographic and operational factors and reflect the Company's expectations as to the future in respect of these factors. The demographic assumptions included in the calculation were taken from Company's internal studies, if any, and conclusions reached as a result of exercising professional judgment, based on relevant experience and the integration of information received from external sources, such as information from reinsurers and mortality and morbidity tables published by the Commissioner.

The operational assumptions (general and administrative expenses) were calculated in accordance with the results of the Company's internal pricing model applied to expenses relating to the relevant insurance liabilities, including: allocation of expenses to the different segments and activities (issuance, current management, investments, claims management, etc.) and assumptions regarding their future development (in accordance with the CPI, amount of premiums and assets under management, etc.).

Following are the key assumptions on which the Company relied in the calculations:

  • a) Economic assumptions
    • Discount rate risk-free interest rate curve based on the yield to maturity of bonds of the Government of Israel (hereinafter - "risk-free interest") plus a margin (VA), with convergence in the long-term to a fixed real rate of 2.6% (UFR) as set by the Commissioner (hereinafter - the "Discount Rate").
    • The yield on the assets backing the life and long-term health insurance products is identical to the Discount Rate (except for the assumed yield for designated bonds).

The yield on designated bonds takes into account their interest rate and the best estimate as to the Company's future entitlement to purchase them.

b) Operational assumptions (for life and health insurance)

General and administrative expenses - the Company analyzed the expenses allocated in the financial statements to the relevant insurance segments and allocated them to various products and coverage types and to various activities such as current operating of the coverages, investment management, handling claims, payment of pensions and more. The expenses study is revised periodically and the different types of expenses are carried to the future cash flow in relation to the relevant factors, such as the number of

coverages, premiums, reserves or claims. The determination of the future expenses and their allocation to future cash flows include many assessments and judgments by the Company, which affect the amount of the liabilities.

(2) Deduction Value during the Transitional Period

The Deduction during the Transitional Period (hereinafter - the "Deduction") is calculated in accordance with the provisions included in the Economic Solvency Regime and in the letter to insurance companies managers: "Principles for Calculating Deduction during the Transitional Period in the Solvency II-based Economic Solvency Regime" of October 15 2020 (hereinafter - the "Letter of Principles").

The Company recalculated the value of the Deduction Amount during the Transitional Period as of June 30, 31 and December 31, 2024 in accordance with the economic solvency ratio provisions. Following the said recalculation, there was a decrease of approx. NIS 929 million in the Deduction Amount compared to December 31, 2023 (from NIS 3,355 million to NIS 2,426 million, before linear amortization and approx. NIS 572 million after the linear amortization).

For more information regarding the calculation of the Deduction during the Transitional Period under IFRS 17, see Chapter C above.

Other assets and liabilities:

  • (3) Intangible assets in accordance with Part A Chapter 2 Appendix A to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, an insurance company shall assess the value of intangible assets at zero, except for investment in Insurtech as defined in the Solvency Circular, for which it obtained the Commissioner's approval, as required.
  • (4) Deferred acquisition costs in accordance with Part A Chapter 2 Appendix A to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, an insurance company shall assess the value of acquisition expenses at zero. It should be noted that the value of the future profits implicit in the insurance contracts was taken into account in the liability for insurance contracts item.
  • (5) Investment in investees which are not insurance companies in accordance with Part A Chapter 2 Appendix B to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the calculation was carried out using the adjusted equity method, in accordance with the circular on investees which are not insurance companies. In accordance with this method, the Company's stake in investees was included based on its relative share in the excess of their assets over their liabilities, calculated in accordance with the economic value of the assets and liabilities in accordance with the circular's provisions, which is calculated based on their financial statements after writing-off intangible assets. In investees where the economic balance sheet reflects an excess of liabilities over assets, the value of the investment will be zero rather than a negative amount, when its value in the accounting balance sheet is a positive amount.

The economic value of the investees does not include the profits implicit in those companies.

In the management company, 35% of the balance of the original difference relating to this company is added to the economic value.

(6) Non-marketable debt assets - in accordance with Part A, Chapter 1 to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the fair value of non-marketable debt assets is calculated on the basis of a discounted cash flow model; the discount rates are determined by a company providing price and interest rate quotes for institutional entities.

  • (7) Designated bonds in accordance with Part A Chapter 2 Appendix E to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the insurance company adjusts the value of designated bonds to their value as per the economic balance sheet in accordance with their economic value that takes into account their interest rate and the best estimate as to the Company's future entitlement to purchase them. See also Section 2a(1)(a) above.
  • (8) Contingent liabilities as to the value of contingent liabilities in the economic balance sheet, see Section d(2)(b) above.
  • (9) Liabilities for deferred taxes, net in accordance with Part A Chapter 2 Appendix C to the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, the calculation is based on the difference between the value attributed to assets and liabilities in the economic balance sheet (taking into account the Deduction Amount) and the value attributed to those assets and liabilities for tax purposes, in accordance with the recognition, measurement and presentation provisions of IAS 12. Deferred tax assets may be recognized only if the Company shall meet the criteria included in the Economic Solvency Regime, in addition to the criteria included in the abovementioned accounting standard.
  • (10) Payables and credit balances, receivables and debit balances in accordance with Part A Chapter 1 of the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime, some of the balances in this item were calculated in accordance with the general principles regarding the economic balance sheet.
  • (11) Financial liabilities were calculated in accordance with the general principles set in the Provisions of the Economic Solvency Regime and subject to the guidance in Part A Chapter 3, whereby changes in the Company's credit risk may only taken into account for changes in risk-free interest. That is to say, the discount rate is a risk-free interest plus the margin on issuance date.

changes
compared

2023:
  • Decrease in liabilities for SLT life insurance and long term health insurance contracts arises from the increase in risk-free interest rates and revision to pension takeup rates. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the Consumer Price Index and a revision to demographic assumptions.
  • The increase in liabilities for insurance contracts and yield-dependent investment contracts is mainly due to an increase in new sales of investment contracts and positive returns in portfolios. The increase also arises from a continued cancellation trend in executive insurance.

      1. Changes in the value of investment assets;
      1. Changes in capital requirement for market risk component, including change in the symmetric adjustment component (SA);
      1. Effect of inflation;
      1. Effect of changes in the risk-free interest rate curve on solvency.
  • (c) This item includes new insurance contracts (SLT life and health insurance alone) signed in the reporting year, and insurance portfolios in those subsegments, purchased or sold in the reporting year, including their effect on market risks, counterparty risk and operational risk. It is emphasized that this section does not include the profitability of the operating activities in NSLT P&C and health insurance, which are included - as stated above - in section A.
  • (d) This item includes equity transactions, including dividends, issuance and redemption of Tier 1 capital and Tier 2 capital instruments which were carried out through the report date, and a dividend declared subsequent to the publication date of the solvency ratio report.

Key explanations for changes in capital surplus for the reporting period:

  • The effect of operating activities mainly includes the effect of implementing actuarial studies, including revisions to assumptions regarding cancellation rates and expected settlements in executive insurance policies, the effect of mortality tables published by the Commissioner and completion of a study regarding pension takeup rates (TUR). These effects were partially offset against operating activities in P&C insurance.
  • The effect of economic activity led to an increase in capital surplus in the reporting period mainly due to an increase in the risk-free interest rate, which increased the shareholders' equity in respect of SCR and decreased the solvency capital requirement (SCR) as well as from positive returns in investment portfolios. This effect was partially offset as a result of increases in the Consumer Price Index.
  • For more information about significant effects on the economic solvency ratio's components, see Section 1a above.

Section 8 - Sensitivity Tests

Following is a sensitivity analysis of the economic solvency ratio to various risk factors as of the report date. This analysis reflects the effects of various risk factors both on equity, including the effect of the quantitative restrictions that apply to equity and on the solvency capital requirement. The sensitivity tests only reflect direct effects, holding all other risk factors constant, and do not include secondary effects or derived changes on other risk factors or effects on the Deduction Amount.

It is noted that the sensitivities are not necessarily linear, such that the sensitivities at other rates are not necessarily a simple extrapolation of the sensitivity tests presented.

As of December 31, 2024 As of December 31, 2023
Audited
Effect on the economic solvency ratio (in percentage points)
A 50-base-point decrease in risk-free interest (a) (11%) (13%)
A 25% decrease in the value of equity assets (b) (18%) (22%)
A 5% increase in morbidity rate (c) (7%) (9%)
A 5% decrease in mortality rates (c) (7%) (10%)

(a) The sensitivity to a 50-base-point decrease in interest was calculated by creating a risk-free interest rate curve for a new solvency that includes a corresponding 50-base-point decrease compared with the basic curve up to the 10th year, and subsequent to that year an extrapolation according to the Smith Wilson model with convergence to a UFR of 2.6% as required in the Solvency Circular.

The sensitivity test was implemented to all debt assets and insurance liabilities which are exposed to changes in the risk-free interest, including recalculation of indirect effects on variable management fees.

  • (b) Sensitivity to a 25% decrease in the value of equity assets applies to all shares accounted for in the shares sub-risk-weighted component, including all Israeli shares and foreign shares, investment funds and illiquid capital expenditures. For the purpose of the sensitivity test, the SA was recalculated in line with a 25% slump in the TA 125 Index, which is used to calculate the SA.
  • (c) Sensitivities to an increase in morbidity rates and a decrease in mortality rates were calculated for all insurance products which are sensitive to those changes, where relevant.

Section 9 - Restrictions on Dividend Distribution

The Company's policy is to have a solid capital base to ensure its solvency and ability to meet its liabilities to policyholders, to preserve the Company's ability to continue its business activity such that it is able to provide returns to its shareholders. The Company is subject to capital requirements set by the Commissioner.

The Company's Board of Directors has set a minimum economic solvency ratio target and target range based on Solvency II. The economic solvency ratio target range, within which the Company seeks to be during and at the end of the Transitional Period, taking into account the Deduction during the Transitional Period and its gradual reduction is 150%-170%.

The minimum economic solvency ratio target, taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period, was set at 135%, and the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period is set to reach 135% at the end of the Transitional Period according to the Company's capital plan.

On December 30, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors increased the minimum solvency ratio target without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period by further 3 percentage points from 118% to 121%, beginning on December 31, 2024 as part of the Company's preparations for increasing the minimum solvency ratio target by the end of the Transitional Period.

As of December 31, 2024, the date of the calculation, the Company has capital surplus in relation to the set targets, as described in the table below.

It is hereby clarified that the aforesaid does not guarantee that the Company will meet the set targets at all times.

Dividend

According to the letter published by the Commissioner, in October 2017, (hereinafter - the "Letter") an insurance company shall be entitled to distribute a dividend only if, following the distribution, the company has a solvency ratio - according to the Economic Solvency Regime - of at least 100%, calculated without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period and subject to the solvency ratio target set by the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, the letter set out provisions for reporting to the Commissioner. On February 27, 2025, the Company received a letter regarding "setting a solvency ratio target") (hereinafter – the "Capital Target Letter"), which lists appropriate practices for determining a solvency ratio target. The Company believes that the capital targets were set in accordance with the requirements of the Capital Target Letter.

The Company's rights in the assets known as Block 6154, Parcels 931 and 932 in Givatayim (hereinafter - "Beit Havered") totaling approx. 611 million have not yet been distributed and the carrying amount of the distribution of the Company's stake in Phoenix Mortgages (Gold) Ltd.'s shares is immaterial.

Should the distributions be completed, they will result in a decrease of approx. 5% in the solvency ratio without applying the Provisions for the Transitional Period. Subsequent to the dividend distributions, as set out above, the economic solvency ratio of The Phoenix Insurance and the economic solvency ratio excluding the Provisions for the Transitional Period and without adjusting the share scenario, meet the minimum economic solvency ratio target without taking into account the Provisions for the Transitional Period as set by the Board of Directors, according to the Commissioner's requirements on dividend distribution, as set out above.
