1) Own estimate for reserve resiliency to be validated by Willis Towers Watson

  • Reinsurance Revenue (RR) / New business CSM & LC (net)
    • Reinsurance revenue (gross) growth +3.4% (f/x-adjusted +6.5%) in line with expectation, reflecting cycle management with shift towards non-proportional business and disciplined underwriting
    • New business CSM & LC (net) of 2,328 m. (+46.5%); well-diversified with strongest contribution from Americas, EMEA and Structured Reinsurance/ILS
  • Reinsurance service result (RSR)
    • RSR supported by strong margin increase, reflected in higher New business CSM and lower New business LC
    • Materially higher than planned increase in resiliency expected to be ~ 2 bn.1)
    • Large losses of 1,621 m. below budget (1,725 m.), but increased retrocession expenses and below long-term average recovery from retrocession
    • Higher discount effect (6.5%) vs. interest accretion reflected in prudent reserving; increase in discount effect in Q4 driven by roll-over in higher yield environment and extraordinary increase in reserve resiliency
  • Investment result
    • Strong ordinary income supported by higher fixed-income yields, including 180 m. contribution from inflation-linked bonds
    • 2022 impacted by high realised gains not recognised in P&L (IAS 39) but in equity (IFRS 9)
  • Other result
    • Currency result 100 m. (26 m.); 2022 includes positive one-off (180 m.)

Reinsurance Service Result reflects strong margins and increase in resiliency Increased CSM provides strong basis for 2024

  • CSM release in line with expectations, mainly reflecting successful renewals in 2022 and 2023
  • Extraordinary increase in reserve resiliency reflected in both experience variance and run-off result
  • Experience variance mainly driven by higher-than-expected ceded result due to comparatively low retrocession recovery
  • Run-off result of +399 m. reflects favourable underlying reserve development across most lines of business and includes release of RA in LIC

All figures in m. EUR unless otherwise stated

Reinsurance Service Result Contractual Service Margin (net)

  • CSM increasing by 59%, providing favourable basis for 2024
  • Strong new business CSM reflects successful 2023 renewals with attractive margins

Reinsurance service result contributes steadily to group earnings CSM increased by 9.0%

Reinsurance Service Result

  • CSM release driven by favourable underlying profitability

Contractual Service Margin (net)

  • Successful new business generation of 786 m. (892 m.)
  • Diversified contribution to new business CSM (net) from all reporting lines

  • Increase in ordinary income predominantly due to higher locked-in yields, decreasing but still favourable contribution from inflation-linked bonds (EUR 180 m.)
  • Realised gains/losses driven by regular portfolio maintenance with only minor changes on asset allocation resulting in even higher future running yield
  • Negative impact from re-valuations of some real estates in US and Europe
  • Result from change in fair value of financial instruments driven by insurance-related derivatives
  • Decreased unrealised losses due to change in interest rates at year-end and pull-to-par in portfolio
