Results

In Q3, the profit was NOK 459 m (581 ). The insurance service result was NOK 598 m (504 ), corresponding to a combined ratio of 83.1 % (83.2 %). The insurance service result was driven by good results in the UK and the Nordics.

The loss ratio net of reinsurance ended at 72.2 % (73.6 %). Large losses totalled NOK -205 m, or 5.8 % (7.1 %), comprising 4 large loss events in the UK, Norway and Sweden. Total run-off contributed with gains at 2.6 % (2.8 % gains).

The cost ratio amounted to 10.9 % (9.6 %). Exclusive of commissions the cost ratio was 6.4 % (5.6 %). Development in the company's share price on which the long-term bonus scheme is dependent and the establishment of the French branch account for more than the increase in cost ratio relative to the same period last year.

Investments

The assets under management totalled NOK 26,675 m ( 22,727 ). Compared to the end of Q2 2025, the portfolio is down -1%.

In Q3, the investment activities yielded a positive return of NOK 117 m (534 ), or 0.4 % (2.3 %). Equities accounted for a NOK -96 m loss (74 ), or -2.5 % (2.2 %), including put options. The return on the fixed income portfolio was NOK 213 m (460 ), or 0.9 % (2.4 %).

In Q1-Q3 2025, the investment activities yielded a positive return of NOK 1,336 m (1,155 ), or 5.2 % (5.4 %). Equities accounted for a NOK 460 m gain (275 ), or 11.5 % (8.7 %), including put options. The fixed income portfolio returned a NOK 876 m gain (880 ), or 4.0 % (4.8 %).

At the end of Q3, 14.7 % (15.1 %) of Protector's assets under management were invested in equities, down from 15.5 % at the end of Q2 2025. Approximately NOK 5.3 bn ( 3.7 ) of the financial assets were allocated to high yield securities at the end of Q3, down from NOK 5.8 bn last quarter.

The insurance finance result impacted the total investment return negatively with NOK -13 m (-235 ) in Q3 and negatively with NOK -228 m (-242 ) in Q1-Q3 2025. The negative contribution was mainly driven by unwinding - the discounting effect of rolling forward liabilities of incurred claims.

Equity and capital position

At the end of Q3, the SCR-ratio was 229% (194%); own funds totalled NOK 9,679 m ( 7,994 ), while the solvency capital requirement (SCR) was NOK 4,229 m ( 4,127 ).

On August 12, Protector successfully issued a subordinated loan of NOK 500 million. The loan's terms comply with both current and anticipated future requirements for subordinated debt to be classified as Tier 2 capital. The new Tier 2 bond issue was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange 15 October 2025. The capacity for Tier 2 capital is directly linked to the company's total solvency requirement.

The company's equity amounted to NOK 6,523 m (5,191 ) an increase of NOK 234m compared to the equity at the end of 2024. Dividend paid out in Q1-Q3 2025 has reduced the equity by NOK 742 m.

Protector Forsikring ASA has an A- (stable outlook) financial strength rating (FSR) from AM Best.

Dividend

Based on the company's strong financial position, competitive position in the market and dividend policy, the Board has utilized its authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting 10 April 2025 and has decided to distribute a dividend of NOK 247m, corresponding to NOK 3.00 per share.

The decided dividend is included in other equity.

Transaction subject to approval

As previously communicated, on April 2, 2025, Protector entered into a portfolio transfer agreement with DARAG Deutschland AG for its entire Danish workers' compensation (WC) portfolio. The completion of this agreement is subject to several conditions, including approvals from the Norwegian and German financial regulatory authorities. Initially anticipated for completion and accounting in Q3 2025, the transfer is now expected to be finalized and recorded in Q4 2025, as the required conditions have not yet been met. The transfer is expected to have a limited impact on the company's solvency margin and financial results. However, the balance sheet will be reduced by the transaction amount and DARAG's portion of the existing Loss Portfolio Transfer Agreement (LPTA). Upon completion, Protector will have no remaining exposure to Danish WC.

Prospects

Underlying profitability remains good, and with continued underwriting discipline, the insurance service result is expected to stay strong.

Claims development and the inherent volatility of capital markets continue to be the most important risk factors that could affect the company's profit in 2025. The rapid development of technology represents both a risk and an opportunity, requiring investments beyond previous efforts. There is inherent uncertainty related to future market conditions, but the Board is of the opinion that the company is well equipped to meet the competition going forward.

Notes

Accounting principles

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Statement Regulation for Non‐life Insurance Companies (Forskrift om årsregnskap for skadeforsikringsselskaper), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IFRS.

The interim report does not include all the information required in a complete annual report and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for 2024.

There are no changes in or new issued standards with significant effect on the financial statements in 2025, and the accounting policies applied in the interim report are the same as those used in the annual report for 2024.

The preparation of interim accounts involves the application of assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the use of accounting policies and the amounts recognized for assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The most material assessments involved in applying accounting policies and the most important sources of uncertainty in the estimates are the same in connection with preparing the interim report as in the annual report for 2024.

The annual report for 2024 is available at https://investor.protectorforsikring.no/all-reports.

The fair value of listed investments is based on the current sales price. Financial instruments measured at fair value are valued on a daily basis. Directly observable prices in the market are used as far as possible. The valuations for the different types of financial instruments are based on recognized methods and models.

Level 1: Financial instruments valued on the basis of quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.

This category encompasses listed equities that over the previous three months have experienced average daily trading equivalent to approximately NOK 20m or more. Based on this, the equities are regarded as sufficiently liquid to be included at this level. Bonds, certificates, or equivalent instruments issued by national governments are generally classified as level 1.

Level 2: Financial instruments valued on the basis of observable market information not covered by level 1.

This category encompasses financial instruments that are valued on the basis of market information that can be directly observable or indirectly observable. Market information that is indirectly observable means that the prices can be derived from observable related markets. Level 2 includes shares or equivalent equity instruments for which market prices are available, but where the volume of transactions is too limited to fulfil the criteria in level 1. Shares in this level will normally have been traded during the last month. Bonds and equivalent instruments are generally classified in this level. Foreign exchange derivatives are classified as level 2. Fund investments are generally classified as level 2.

Level 3: Financial instruments valued on the basis of information that is not observable in accordance with level 2.

The instrument is included in level 3 if one or more essential data are not based on observable market data.
