The calculations and reconciliation against information in the financial statements of these performance measures are presented on the website under "Financial statements".

Solid Försäkring is a non-life insurance company focusing on niche insurance, with the Nordic region as its core market. The operations in Norway, Finland and Switzerland are conducted by branches, and operations in other countries are conducted as cross-border operations. The non-life insurance operations are divided into three segments: Product, Personal Safety and Assistance. The company partners with leading retail chains in various industries and the banking sector, has about 2.3 million customers across the Nordic region and has its head office in Helsingborg. Net premiums earned in 2021 amounted to SEK 981 million and the technical result to SEK 114 million.
1
All segments reported sales growth in the first quarter of the year. The performance of the Assistance segment remained particularly strong, driven by the recovery after COVID-19. We can also confirm that the trend in Personal Safety is continuing, with the positive performance largely driven by the recovery in the Norwegian market.
Premiums earned increased 14 per cent compared with the year-earlier period to SEK 269 million. Growth was mainly driven by the strong performance in the Assistance and Product segments. Growth in premiums earned in the Assistance segment was 52 per cent. Premiums earned in the Product segment increased 8 per cent, primarily driven by higher market shares in the Danish market. Premiums earned in the Personal Safety segment fell 2 per cent, but the positive sales trend is continuing and the increase in gross written premiums was 10 per cent.
A strong trend was also noted for the technical result, increasing 12 per cent compared with the year-earlier period. The growth in the technical result was primarily driven by the strong trend in the Assistance segment, but also in the Personal Safety segment. Our combined ratio was 88.4 per cent for the period compared with 87.9 per cent last year.
Profit before appropriations and tax declined to SEK 17 million compared with SEK 53 million last year. The ongoing war in Ukraine, high energy prices and rising inflation resulted in greater turmoil and volatility in the capital market in the first months of the year, which resulted in a decline in the market valuations of our investment assets. Result of asset management was SEK -14 million for the quarter compared with SEK 24 million in the year-earlier quarter. The negative result was attributable to unrealised changes in value of investment assets, which comprise bonds that we hold until maturity, cash and cash equivalents and a small percentage of equities.
During the period, we signed a partner agreement with AD bildelar, which comprises just over 250 car workshops. The company offers repairs and service of cars at its workshops, and customers receive roadside assistance insurance in connection with a car service. The partnership will be launched in April this year and means that the Assistance segment will be strengthened further.
Solid Försäkring has a strong financial position with an SCR ratio amounting to 168 per cent on 31 March (157), corresponding to a decrease of 5 percentage points compared with the end of December 2021 (173). The decrease was primarily due to lower profit after tax for the quarter as a consequence of the negative result of asset management.

Growth in premiums earnings for Assistance segment
+12% Technical result

Gross written premiums increased KSEK 54,218 to KSEK 270,081 (215,863) for the period. Sales increased in all segments compared with the first quarter last year. The improvement was mainly an effect of the travel industry's recovery from COVID-19, which positively impacted demand for travel insurance products in the Assistance segment. In the Product segment, the increase was mainly attributable to the consumer electronics industry in Denmark and the expanded partnership with Power that was initiated in the third quarter of 2021. The main reason for the higher sales in the Personal Safety segment was the continuing positive performance of the Norwegian market.
Premiums earned, net of reinsurance increased KSEK 33,747, corresponding to 14 per cent, to KSEK 268,594 (234,847). Growth was mainly driven by the strong performance in the Assistance segment for which the increase was 52 per cent. Premiums earned in the Product segment increased 8 per cent, primarily driven by growth in the consumer electronics industry in Denmark. Premiums earned in the Personal Safety segment fell 2 per cent.
The technical result increased KSEK 3,568, corresponding to 12 per cent, to KSEK 33,432, which is an all-time high for the first quarter. Excluding the share of investment return transferred to the insurance operations, the increase was 10 per cent compared with the year-earlier period. Operating expenses increased 18 per cent to KSEK 177,445 (149,755). The increase was mainly due to higher acquisition costs, driven by higher sales for the quarter. The changed product and partner mix in the Assistance and Product segment also led to higher acquisition costs in relative terms. Administrative expenses as a percentage of premiums earned amounted to 10.0 per cent for the period, which is in line with expectations but lower than last year when the percentage was 10.4 per cent.
The combined ratio was 88.4 per cent (87.9) due to the trend in acquisition costs.
The ongoing war in Ukraine, high energy prices and rising inflation resulted in greater turmoil and volatility in the capital market in the first quarter, which negatively impacted the market valuations of investment assets. Result of asset management for the quarter amounted to KSEK -14,167 (23,957) and total return to -1 per cent (2.1). The negative result was attributable to unrealised changes in value of investment assets, which comprise bonds that we hold until maturity, cash and cash equivalents and a small percentage of equities. The value of the investment portfolio on 31 March amounted to KSEK 1,312,700, of which KSEK 580,776 was cash and cash equivalents, KSEK 85,979 equities and KSEK 645,945 other interest-bearing assets, mainly bonds at floating interest rates. In 2021, the equities portion of the investment portfolio was reduced and amounted to 6 per cent at the start of 2022.
Profit after tax declined KSEK 27,342 to KSEK 13,013 (40,355).

Equity (2) on 31 March amounted to KSEK 728,089 (633,779) and Net Asset Value (2) to KSEK 707,384 (604,462). For the first quarter 1 January–31 March 2022, annualised RoE (2)* amounted to 7.2 per cent (26.4) and annualised RoNAV (2)** to 8.5 per cent (29.0).
The SCR ratio improved to 168 per cent on 31 March (157), and declined 5 percentage points compared with the end of December 2021 (173). The decrease was primarily due to lower profit after tax for the quarter as a consequence of the negative result of asset management. The company has a stable Solvency II position and company management and the Board do not believe that the ongoing war in Ukraine or the continuing effects of the previous pandemic will jeopardise stability or the capital situation in the future. However, the company is closely following external developments and the effects of the war on the capital markets to identify any changes in consumer behaviour that could impact the company's insurance business and thus profitability and earnings.
Cash flow*** from operating activities amounted to KSEK 24,209 (163,056). Cash flow from investing activities amounted to KSEK -63,125 (173,275). During the quarter, investment assets were acquired for KSEK 82,601 and the value of divested and mature investment assets amounted to KSEK 19,476. The subordinated loan of KSEK 200,000 to Resurs Bank fell due for payment in April 2021. Cash flow from financing activities amounted to KSEK 0 (-59,000). Cash and cash equivalents fell to KSEK 580,776 (613,139).

Preparations for the launch of the partnerships with Wästgöta Finans and Svea Bank continued during the period. In addition, the distribution model for payment protection insurance was developed with an existing partner, whose offering has also been expanded to include more products.
Sales (gross written premiums) for the segment rose 10 per cent compared with the year-earlier period. This increase was primarily driven by the performance of the Norwegian market for which sales of payment protection insurance increased KSEK 10,284, corresponding to 68 per cent, compared with last year.
Premiums earned, net of reinsurance declined KSEK 2,167 to KSEK 93,267 (95,434).
Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, continued to decline and amounted to KSEK 7,575 (12,613), which is also lower than the fourth quarter of 2021. The effects that the pandemic had on claim costs, caused by higher unemployment and illness, have abated.
Gross profit increased KSEK 1,994 to KSEK 26,240 (24,246). The gross margin improved to 28.1 per cent (25.4), mainly due to lower costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance.

Sales (gross written premiums) for the segment rose 11 per cent compared with the year-earlier period, mainly driven by the partnership with Power in the Danish market.
During the period, the company focused on preparations ahead of the bicycle season in close cooperation with partners in the bicycle industry. The supply of bicycles improved compared with last year when the industry experienced a slight shortage of goods due to the effects of the pandemic on manufacturing and logistics.
Premiums earned, net of reinsurance increased KSEK 6,832 to KSEK 89,988 (83,156). This increase was primarily attributable to insurance for consumer electronics in the Danish market.
Costs for claims incurred, net of reinsurance, were in line with the preceding year at KSEK -23,288 (-23,153). The claims ratio for the segment improved during the period.
Gross profit increased 485 per cent to KSEK 17,692 (17,207). The gross margin declined to 19.7 per cent (20.7), mainly due to higher acquisition costs, which was primarily the result of a changed product and partner mix in the segment.

The recovery in the travel industry positively affected the segment during the quarter and sales (gross written premiums) increased 66 per cent compared with the yearearlier period. The company's partners in the travel industry noted a slight change in consumer behaviour. More travellers are aware of the need for travel insurance and the share of travellers choosing to by supplementary travel insurance and/or cancellation insurance has increased compared with the share before the pandemic.
The used car market has normalised following substantial growth during the pandemic. According to statistics from the Swedish Association for Motor Retail Trades and Repairs, 20 per cent¹ fewer used cars were sold in March 2022 compared with March 2021. The company also noted a slight slowdown in the rate of increase of new sales of insurance policies linked to car warranties and the increase in gross written premiums for the quarter was just over 8 per cent compared with the yearearlier period.
A new partner agreement was signed with AD bildelar during the quarter, which comprises just over 250 car workshops. The company offers repairs and service of cars at its workshops, and customers receive roadside assistance insurance in connection with a car service.
The partnership will be launched in April this year and means that the Assistance segment will be strengthened further.
Gross written premiums rose KSEK 37,884 during the period to KSEK 95,317 (57,433). Premiums earned, net of reinsurance increased KSEK 29,082 to KSEK 85,339 (56,257). Most of the increase in both gross written premiums and in premiums earned, net of reinsurance was attributable to travel insurance products but also to insurance related to car warranties.
Gross profit increased KSEK 2,678 to KSEK 13,959 (11,281) mainly as a result in growth in premiums earned. The gross margin declined to 16.4 per cent (20.1) mainly driven by a changed product mix in the segment, with the share of cancellation insurance in the segment increasing compared with the year-earlier quarter.

Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Apart from an enormous humanitarian impact, the invasion is expected to have major economic and financial consequences both globally and in Sweden. The West has agreed on a number of sanctions in response to Russia's invasion, some of which affect the financial markets. In Sweden, the Stockholm Stock Exchange was negatively affected following the news of the invasion. Considerable volatility in the capital markets is continuing, which affects the market valuations of Solid Försäkring's investment portfolio. The company is closely monitoring developments to identify any early signs of potential changes in consumer behaviour, which in turn could affect the company's insurance operations.

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 2022 that have had a material impact on the company.
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.
