Israel economic resilience including rebounding capital markets (TA-35 index +4%), proactive oversight (e.g., Bank of Israel), low debt (<70% debt/GDP), and social solidarity during conflict

Phoenix group resilience driven by:

  • strategic execution creating continued growth and income diversification
  • full operational & business continuity, with limited impact of war on core activities
  • strong capital position (liquidity, Solvency, ratings)

Long-term positive structural trends (e.g., wealth accumulation, vibrant tech sector)1

Resilience in face of 2023 headwinds (war, political uncertainty, inflation, rates)

However, continued capital market volatility, with Israeli market underperforming US indices

Solvency II implementation

Solvency II implemented in Israel in line with international standards, with strong regulatory oversight

Transitional measures through 2032, with natural offset from Phoenix backbook runoff (expected to release Solvency capital requirements and risk margin at least as high as transitional measures through 2032, reflecting the difference between Solvency ratio with and without transitional measures)

Standard model used (internal models not allowed)

Phoenix Solvency does not include group equity outside Insurance Company; significant additional group capital resources held under Phoenix Holdings

Quarterly publication of Solvency ratio with one quarter delay; full breakdown for Q2 and Q4, with only transitional headline figure for Q1 and Q3

Changes in Solvency Ratio

209% with transitional measures estimated as of September 2023 (Including RT1 issue of 300 NISm in October 2023 & distribution of Construction Finance in January 2024)

Insurance Company BOD dividend threshold raised to 115% without transitionals, while excess capital above 115% was 3.2 NISb (as of June 2023)

Cashflow and Liquidity (Holding Company)

Insurance dividend 30-50% of comprehensive income, in line with solvency target range

Services generate significant cash from fee-based income (e.g., asset management, agencies)

Strong liquidity at holding level including Phoenix Insurance Tier 1 capital notes of 1.3 NISb (trading started May 2023) & financial debt of 1 NISb

Insurance Company with international ratings (Moody's A2, S&P A-)

Raised 350 NISm in October 2023 with expansion of bond series

Moved 300 NISm Construction Finance, optimizing capital

Accounting Income

IFRS 17 & IFRS 9 implementation in 2024, expected to reduce volatility

Dynamic management of market exposures

IFRS 17 & IFRS 9 Implementation Update

Implementation

IFRS 17 expected to be implemented in Israel starting Q1 2025, including figures for 2024; following EU implementation in 2023

IFRS 9 already implemented in group, to be implemented in insurance & retirement together with IFRS 17

Phoenix currently preparing for full implementation

Principles

Under IFRS 17 total income remains unchanged over lifetime of contract, however timing of recognition will be changed

IFRS 17 introduces concept of Contractual Service Margin (CSM), which defers the recognition of new business gains over lifetime of insurance contract

IFRS 9 classifies financial assets based on two tests: contractual cash flows & business model

Impact

Accounting changes impact primarily Life and Health Insurance segments, with long-term policies where earnings are expected to become more stable and predictable; limited impact on P&C insurance short-term policies; no impact on Asset Management & Credit

IFRS 17 will increase transparency, stability, predictability & comparability of insurance business, facilitating easier understanding of business and growth, as well as comparison between insurers on performance and economic positions

IFRS 17 not expected to impact underlying economics, Solvency II, strategy, dividend distribution restriction, and leverage

IFRS 9 will reduce earnings volatility by valuing financial assets related to insurance activity at fair value for P&L, more closely matching changes in liabilities (debt assets not related to activity still measured by amortized cost); impacting net income, EPS, and PE multiple (not only comprehensive income)

Segment highlights P&C Health Life

Note: expectations, assessments and illustrations relating to IFRS 17 & IFRS 9 are by their nature preliminary and subject to change in the course of the formal implementation of IFRS 17 & IFRS 9; this presentation reflects Company expectations and illustrative assessments of the impact of the IFRS 17 & IFRS 9 Implementation
