Comments from the CEO

Strong earnings driven by positive trend in non-technical account

Earnings for the second quarter, before and after tax, increased 180 per cent to SEK 50.4 million (18.0) and SEK 39.2 million (14.0), respectively, compared with the yearearlier period. The earnings improvement was driven by rising interest rates and thus a positive trend in the non-technical account, which almost exclusively invests in interest-bearing assets. The technical result, excluding allocated investment return, reported slightly lower earnings compared with the year-earlier period, mainly as a result of weaker sales in durable consumer goods and the insurance concept for the travel industry.

Gross written premiums declined 7 per cent during the quarter to SEK 271.6 million (291.9). The decline was attributable to the Product and Assistance segments, for which sales declined 14 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively, compared with last year. The Product segment was impacted by the decline in durable consumer goods, primarily our insurance solutions for consumer electronics and eyewear. In Assistance, the insurance concept related to car warranties performed well, while sales of travel insurance solutions were adversely affected, mainly as a result of our largest partner not offering Solid's travel insurance solutions on all of the company's platforms unlike last year. The changes made to distribution of travel insurance solutions are likely to continue for the remainder of the year.

Sales in the Personal Safety segment increased 5 per cent and were mainly attributable to payment protection insurance in the Swedish and Finnish markets.

New partnerships

During the period, we initiated a partnership with the loan broker Bliq, which offers Solid's payment protection insurance to its personal loan customers. The launch was positive and we look forward to following and developing the business together with our partner moving forward.

During the period, we also strengthened our partner base in the Norwegian market for our insurance solutions related to car warranties after we initiated a partnership with Stamsaas Fritid, a camper reseller in Norway. We also launched our partnership with Ferda, a major reseller of campers and caravans, according to plan.

Financial performance

The technical result for the period increased 5 per cent to SEK 41.0 million (39.0). Excluding the part of the result of asset management that was reclassified to the technical result, technical result declined 8 per cent. The Personal Safety and Assistance segments made a positive contribution during the period, while Product declined year on year.

Earnings in the non-technical account amounted to SEK 16.7 million for the second quarter (-18.6), which is a significant improvement over the second quarter last year. The result of asset management during the period was driven primarily by increased interest income from the bond portfolio and deposits, which totalled SEK 11.4 million (2.4).

The combined ratio for the second quarter amounted 87.7 per cent (86.9), which was well below the company's financial target of <90 per cent.

Stability in an uncertain market

The company is continuing to show stability and a positive trend in the SCR ratio. In the second quarter of 2023, the SCR ratio strengthened 6 percentage points to 171 per cent. This increase was primarily driven by stronger own funds from positive operating profit, despite the repurchase of own shares during the period. The SCR ratio remains comfortably above the target of at least 150 per cent, meaning that we are financially well equipped in the uncertain market climate that we are in.

Second quarter 2023, April–June

Gross written premiums declined 7 per cent during the period to KSEK 271,647 (291,855). The decline was attributable to the Product and Assistance segments, for which sales declined 14 per cent and 12 per cent, respectively, compared with last year. For Product, the decline was primarily due to lower sales volumes related to consumer electronics and the eyewear industry in the Swedish and Norwegian markets. In Assistance, the decline was mainly related to insurance solutions for the travel industry due to changed distribution of certain insurance concepts distributed by our largest partner. The decline was partly compensated by higher sales of insurance related to car warranties compared with last year, both in the Swedish and the Norwegian markets. The increase in Norway was attributable to the acquisition of Car Protect that took place in January this year. Sales in the Personal Safety segment increased 5 per cent and were mainly attributable to payment protection insurance in Sweden and Finland.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, declined 1 per cent to KSEK 269,863 (273,901). The decline was mainly attributable to the performance of the Product and Assistance segments, which declined 7 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively, compared with last year. Premiums earned in the Personal Safety segment increased 6 per cent primarily related to payment protection insurance in the Swedish and Finnish markets.

The technical result increased KSEK 2,066, corresponding to 5 per cent, to KSEK 41,031 (38,965). The transfer of the investment return to the insurance operations resulted in a positive effect of KSEK 4,893 for the quarter compared with last year, which was primarily due to the increased cost of capital as a result of higher market interest rates. Claim costs increased KSEK 6,736 corresponding to 12 per cent, driven by the Personal Safety segment, for which claim costs related to payment protection insurance (mainly as a result of sick leave) increased, and the Assistance segment, for which claim costs related to motor vehicle insurance solutions (roadside assistance and car warranties) increased. The claims ratio improved to 22.7 per cent (19.9).

Operating expenses declined 4 per cent to KSEK 175,548 (183,495) and the expense ratio improved to 65.1 per cent (67.0). The decline was mainly due to lower acquisition costs driven by lower sales, a changed product and partner mix in the Assistance and Product segments and higher claim costs. Administrative expenses as a percentage of premiums earned increased to 10.9 per cent (9.8) for the period, mainly as a result of higher administrative expenses related to the acquisition in Norway (Car Protect) and a higher number of employees in the company. The number of employees at the end of June was 78 compared with 71 at the end of June last year.

The combined ratio increased to 87.7 per cent (86.9) due to higher claim costs and administrative expenses and lower premiums earned.

Result of asset management for the second quarter was positive and amounted to KSEK 16,728 (-18,620) Interest income for the quarter increased KSEK 8,949 to KSEK 11,385 and the unrealised changes in the value of the investment portfolio amounted to KSEK -513 (-25,638). Refer to Note 6 for more detailed information.

Profit after tax increased KSEK 25,202 to KSEK 39,208 (14,006) and basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to SEK 2.04 (0.70) for the quarter

Performance per quarter (SEK million)

First half of 2023, January–June

Gross written premiums declined KSEK 10,329 during the period to KSEK 551,607 (561,936). The decline was mainly due to the performance of the Product segment during the quarter, with lower sales volumes of insurance solutions related to durable consumer goods in consumer electronics and eyewear in the Swedish and Norwegian market, and in the Assistance segment that reported lower sales of travel insurance. However, total sales in the Assistance segment increased 1 per cent for the first half of the year compared with last year, driven by the trend in insurance solutions for car warranties in Sweden and Norway. Sales in the Personal Safety segment were in line with last year.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance increased KSEK 7,520 to KSEK 550,015 (542,495). Growth was mainly driven by the Personal Safety and Assistance segments that rose 5 per cent and 4 per cent, respectively, compared with last year. In the Product segment, premiums earned decreased by 4 per cent.

The technical result increased KSEK 8,500, or 12 per cent, to KSEK 80,897. The transfer of the investment return to the insurance operations resulted in a positive effect of KSEK 9,345 compared with last year, which was primarily due to the increased cost of capital as a result of higher market interest rates. Excluding the share of investment return transferred to the insurance operations, the technical result declined KSEK 845 compared with the year-earlier period.

Claim costs increased 9 per cent and the claims ratio rose in all segments year-onyear to 22.7 per cent (21.1). Operating expenses were slightly lower than last year at KSEK 359,047 (360,940), which was mainly due to lower acquisition costs. The expense ratio fell to 65.3 per cent (66.5) Administrative expenses as a percentage of premiums earned amounted to 10.7 per cent for the first half of the year, which is in line with expectations but higher than last year when the percentage was 9.9 per cent.

The combined ratio amounted to 88.0 per cent (87.7) mainly due to higher claim costs and administrative expenses.

The result of asset management for the period amounted to KSEK 37,098 (- 32,787) and total return to 2.7 per cent (-2.4). Due to rising market interest rates, interest income for the period rose KSEK 16,723 to KSEK 21,721. The unrealised change in value in the investment portfolio was positive at KSEK 6,194 (-43,316). Refer to Note 6 for more detailed information. The total value of the investment portfolio on 30 June amounted to KSEK 1,367,505, of which KSEK 423,905 was interest-bearing cash and cash equivalents, KSEK 101,266 equities and KSEK 842,334 other interest-bearing assets, mainly bonds at floating interest rates and relatively short durations. The company's strategy is to hold bonds until maturity. Net investments were made for a corresponding KSEK 101,868 during the first half of the year.

Profit after tax increased KSEK 53,697 to KSEK 80,716 (27,019) and basic and diluted earnings per share amounted to SEK 4.18 (1.35) for the period.

Product

Second quarter 2023, April–June

During the quarter, the segment was slightly affected by the slowdown in demand for durable consumer goods and sales (gross written premiums) decreased 14 per cent compared with the year-earlier period, totalling KSEK 79,714 (92,518). The decline was mainly related to insurance solutions in the consumer electronics and the eyewear industry in Sweden and Norway.

Premiums earned, net of reinsurance declined KSEK 6,104 in the quarter to KSEK 85,268 (91,372).

Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, declined KSEK 2,624 to KSEK 21,760 (24,384). The claims ratio for the segment improved during the period.

Gross profit declined KSEK 2,482 to KSEK 14,303 (16,785). The gross margin declined to 16.8 per cent (18.4) mainly due to a changed partner and product mix that resulted in relatively higher acquisition costs.

First half of 2023, January–June

Sales (gross written premiums) for the segment decreased 8 per cent compared with the year-earlier period, mainly as a result of the negative trend related to durable consumer goods in the consumer electronics and eyewear industry in the second quarter. Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, declined KSEK 7,928 to KSEK 173,432 (181,360).

Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, declined KSEK 1,945 to KSEK 45,727 (47,672) and the claims ratio was in line with last year.

Gross profit fell KSEK 2,526 to KSEK 31,951 (34,477) and the gross margin declined to 18.4 per cent (19.0) mainly due to a changed partner and product mix that resulted in relatively higher acquisition costs.

Assistance (Roadside

assistance/Car warranty and travel)

Second quarter 2023, April–June

The segment noted a slowdown in sales in the second quarter, primarily related to insurance solutions for the travel industry due to certain changes made to the distribution of travel insurance concepts distributed by our largest partner. However, sales of insurance policies linked to car warranties in the segment increased over last year, both in Sweden and in Norway. The increase in Norway was attributable to the acquisition of Car Protect that took place in January this year. A partnership with Stamsaas Fritid, a camper reseller in Norway, was initiated during the quarter for insurance solutions related to car warranties. The partnership on insurance solutions for car warranties with Ferda that was entered into at the start of the year was launched during the period.

Gross written premiums declined KSEK 12,565 during the quarter to KSEK 92,226 (104,791). Premiums earned, net of reinsurance, declined KSEK 3,199 to KSEK 85,098 (88,297).

Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, increased KSEK 6,292 to KSEK 28,368 (22,076), which impacted the claims ratio that rose during the period compared with last year. The increase in claim costs was mainly attributable to motor vehicle insurance solutions (roadside assistance and car warranties). Acquisition costs fell to KSEK 35,382 (45,803), mainly due to lower sales volumes and a changed product and partner mix in the segment.

Gross profit increased KSEK 930 to KSEK 21,348 (20,418) and the gross margin improved to 25.1 per cent (23.1) mainly as a result of relatively low acquisition costs due to a changed partner and product mix in the segment.

First half of 2023, January–June

Gross written premiums increased KSEK 2,243 to KSEK 202,351 (200,108). Premiums earned, net of reinsurance increased KSEK 6,137 to KSEK 179,773 (173,636). The increase in both gross written premiums and in premiums earned, net of reinsurance, was primarily attributable to insurance related to car warranties.

Gross profit increased KSEK 5,168 to KSEK 39,545 (34,377) and the gross margin improved to 22.0 per cent (19.8) mainly driven by a changed partner and product mix, with the share of cancellation insurance in the segment declining compared with the year-earlier period.

Dividends

The Annual General Meeting, held on 26 April, resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to pay shareholders a dividend of SEK 2.85 per share for the 2022 financial year. The dividend amount, KSEK 54,958, was calculated on the number of shares outstanding as per 10 March 2023. No dividends were paid on Solid Försäkring's holdings of treasury shares. Solid Försäkring's holdings of treasury shares amounted to 716,478 on 10 March 2023. The dividend was paid to shareholders at the start of May.

Repurchase

The Annual General Meeting, held on 26 April, resolved in accordance with the Board's proposal to cancel the shares repurchased within the framework of the buyback programme that took place between 26 October 2022 and 10 March 2023. At the start of June, following approval from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority, 716,478 shares were cancelled and a bonus issue was carried out to restore restricted equity. The number of shares after the cancellation thus amounted to 19,283,522.

The Annual General Meeting also resolved, in accordance with the Board's proposal, to authorise the Board to acquire the company's own shares on one more occasions up until the next Annual General Meeting. A new buy-back programme was initiated on 15 May.

The acquisition of own shares may occur of at most as many shares as are needed so that the company's holdings of own shares at any given time do not exceed five per cent of all shares in the company. The purpose of the share buy-back programme is to give the Board an instrument to continuously adapt and improve the company's capital structure and thereby create additional value for the shareholders. In addition, the buy-back programme enables the Board to transfer shares to the participants in LTIP 2023 The intention for the shares that are repurchased and that are not attributable to future delivery of shares in relation to LTIP 2023 is to finally be cancelled by resolutions at future general meetings.

On 30 June, 226,258 own shares had been repurchased from the total mandate of 964,176 shares for a value of KSEK 15,217 at an average price of SEK 67.25.

Notes to the financial statements

Note 1 Accounting policies

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

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

The same accounting policies and basis for calculations were applied as those used in the most recent annual report. No other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations have come into force since 1 January 2023 that have had a material impact on the company.

Note 2 Segment information

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