I am pleased to be able to report to you for the second time on a half‐year period based on the new accounting principles (IFRS 9/17).Once again, it is a very pleasing report: in the first six months of 2024 UNIQA generated earnings before taxes of €277.5 million (compared with €233.2 million in the first half of 2023).
Premiums written (including savings portions) – which are not part of the IFRS 9/17 reporting – grew in the first two quarters by 8.8 per cent to €4,071.3 million. Our insurance sales – the insurance revenue – actually increased by 10.4 per cent to €3,211.6 million, to which all business lines and segments contributed: property and casualty insurance rose by 11.0 per cent, health insurance by 10.7 per cent and life insurance by 6.6 per cent. In Austria, insurance revenue rose by 6.6 per cent, in the international companies by 14.0 per cent.
The technical result climbed by 2.6 per cent to a very satisfactory €307.2 million. The combined ratio (gross before reinsurance) in property and casualty insurance continued to improve, from an already good 87.7 per cent to 87.3 per cent in the first half of 2024. This was attributable to strong growth, good settlement results and low claims burdens from major losses and natural catastrophes. The overall cost ratio also decreased slightly from 31.4 per cent to 31.3 per cent in the first six months of 2024 despite continued high strategic investments in IT, digitalisation, AI and human resources.
Net investment income increased by 40.8 per cent to €437.7 million in the first half of 2024, driven primarily by an increase in current income and higher measurement income from equity and bond funds compared to the previous year. As a result, the financial result also rose to €129.5 million and was therefore significantly above the comparative figure of €82.6 million.
Our strategic programme "UNIQA 3.0– Seeding the Future" comes to an end in 2024. We are continuing to work intensively on our new programme, which will be launched in 2025. We hope to finalise the programme towards the end of 2024 and present it as part of a Capital Markets Day.
For the rest of the year, we will continue to concentrate on further improving the core insurance business in our two home markets, Austria and CEE. Despite the good result in the first half of 2024, we remain cautious in our forecast for the full financial year, above all due to possible geopolitical upheavals and the associated uncertainties for the global capital markets, the volatile interest rate environment, general inflation trends and the possibility of increased claims payments as a result of natural catastrophes. For these reasons, we expect our target profitability to remain at the level of 2023.
Sincerely,
Andreas Brandstetter
CEO UNIQA Group
Vienna, August 2024

Property and casualty insurance and health insurance were the key contributors to this very pleasing growth.

The book value per share remained virtually unchanged at €8.79 per share as at 30 June 2024 (31 December 2023: €8.83 per share).

No significant events subject to mandatory reporting occurred after the reporting date.
For the 2024 financial year, UNIQA continues to strive for further improvement in the core insurance business in both the Austrian and CEE home markets. Expectations of strong growth in property and health insurance are based on both targeted sales activities and adjustments in connection with inflation and index developments.
However, UNIQA continues to expect pressure on earnings in 2024 due to rising expenses for insurance benefits (particularly in the areas of property and health insurance) and costs (primarily due to inflation). Strict cost discipline and continuous optimisation in cost management therefore remain crucial.
Based on a solvency ratio of at least 170 per cent, UNIQA strives to allow shareholders to participate in the company's success, with annually increasing dividend payments. The payout ratio remains unchanged at up to 60 per cent.
These forecasts are subject to possible negative influences on the consolidated profit, which may result from geopolitical upheavals and the associated uncertainties for the global capital markets, from a volatile interest rate environment, from the general inflation trend and from increased claims payments as a result of possible natural catastrophes during the rest of the year. In connection with this, UNIQA expects target profitability to remain at the level of 2023.

The consolidated interim financial statements at 30 June 2024 were prepared in accordance with the requirements of IAS 34 and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) recognised by the European Union (EU) as well as the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee.
The accounting, measurement and consolidation principles correspond to those applied in the consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2023, with the exception of the new and amended standards listed below. The functional currency for UNIQA Insurance Group AG is the euro.
In preparing the consolidated interim financial statements, estimates and planning have been used to a greater extent than for annual reporting.
The consolidated interim financial statements were prepared in € million. Rounding differences may occur when totalling rounded amounts and percentages.
An amendment to IAS 7 and IFRS 7, which requires additional disclosures for supplier financing arrangements and is effective as of 1 January 2024, has no effect on UNIQA.
The global minimum tax rate of 15 per cent for multinational groups has been applicable since 1 January 2024. This will result in an additional tax expense of €1.5 million for UNIQA.
In accordance with the order published on 7 July 2024, the Austrian Federal Tax Court (Bundesfinanzgericht) requested a preliminary ruling from the ECJ as to whether the intermediate bank VAT exemption constituted State aid incompatible with the internal market. If the answer is in the affirmative, the European Commission would then have to carry out a further assessment of the aid with the possible consequence of a recovery decision. This VAT exemption is applied to some of the services provided by and to UNIQA in Austria, which is why UNIQA is closely monitoring the reference for a preliminary ruling in order to take any necessary steps.
In the second quarter of 2023, the contractual service margin was incorrectly recognised. Consequently, the release of the contractual service margin in the insurance revenue item was €7.0 million too low. In addition, the amortisation of insurance acquisition cash flows was misposted, with the result that insurance service expenses of €30.8 million were overstated. Both errors concern the UNIQA Austria segment.
During the introduction of the euro common currency in the Republic of Croatia on 1 January 2023, intra-Group balances of the Croatian company UNIQA osiguranje d.d. (Zagreb, Croatia) were recognised twice in the system. As a result, the half-year financial report as at 30 June 2023 incorrectly presented consolidation entries of €35.3 million in other non-insurance revenues and of €11.9 million in other non-insurance service expenses. The error concerns the UNIQA International segment.

The amounts indicated for each business line have been adjusted to eliminate amounts resulting from internal transactions. Therefore, the equity allocated to the
respective business line cannot be inferred from the balance of the business line assets and liabilities.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised and measured in the statement of financial position according to the rules of IFRS 9. Financial assets are recognised for the first time on the settlement date. They are derecognised when the contractual rights to cash
flows from an asset expire or the rights to receive the cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

A reclassification of financial assets is only possible if the business model in which a financial asset is held has changed. Such changes of the business model are expected by UNIQA only in very rare cases. Reclassifications are to be performed prospectively in these cases.
Financial assets are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss if they are held within an "other" business model in accordance with IFRS 9, or the contractual cash flows of the asset are not solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding ("SPPI criterion" is not satisfied).
All unit-linked and index-linked life insurance investments are assigned to an "other" business model and are therefore required to be classified and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
All value changes are recorded in profit/(loss) for the period.

Financial assets are required to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income for fair values if they are held within a "hold-and-sell" business model in accordance with IFRS 9 and the contractual cash flows of the asset are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding ("SPPI criterion" is satisfied).
Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially measured at their fair value plus directly attributable transaction costs. The subsequent measurement takes place at fair value. Changes in market value are generally recognised in other comprehensive income. Changes resulting from the effective interest method and foreign currency translation differences are recognised in profit/(loss) for the period. Expenses and income from impairments of the model for expected credit losses are recognised both in profit/(loss) for the period and in other comprehensive income. In the
case of derecognition of financial assets, the accumulated other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit/(loss) for the period.
For equity instruments, an irrevocable option exists at the date of addition to reclassify them as at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI option"). This option can be exercised individually for each equity instrument.
UNIQA applies the FVOCI option to selected strategic investments and equity investments.
All value changes are recorded in other comprehensive income. A reclassification of value changes recorded in other comprehensive income to profit/(loss) for the period is not permitted upon derecognition.

Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if they:
Financial assets at amortised cost are initially recognised at acquisition cost plus directly attributable transaction costs. Changes resulting from the effective interest method, foreign currency translation differences and impairments are recorded in profit/(loss) for the period.
To assess the relevant business models, UNIQA focuses in particular on the strategic management of the
investments. As an insurance company, UNIQA holds financial assets mainly to finance liabilities from insurance contracts.
Under other investments, UNIQA divides the business models into "hold-and-sell" and "hold". Financial assets under other investments are mainly allocated to the "holdand-sell" business model. Only other investments without the intention to sell, such as time deposits and loans, are allocated to the "hold" business model.
When the SPPI criterion is reviewed, the characteristics of the contractual cash flows are analysed. To analyse the cash flows, UNIQA uses both the specific contracts (such as securities prospectuses) and (semi-)automated IT support from external information systems. External information systems are usually relied upon for exchangetraded securities such as government bonds and corporate bonds because these exchanges record the characteristics of the contractual cash flows in standardised databases.
A range of accounting policies and disclosures requires the determination of the fair value of financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. UNIQA has defined a control framework with regard to the determination of fair value. This includes a measurement team, which bears general responsibility for monitoring all major measurements of fair value, including Level 3 fair values, and reports directly to the responsible member of the Management Board.
A review of the major unobservable inputs and the measurement adjustments is carried out regularly. If information from third parties (e.g. price quotations from brokers or price information services) is used to determine fair values, the evidence obtained from third parties is examined in order to determine whether it meets the requirements of IFRSs. The level in the fair value hierarchy to which these measurements are attributable is also tested. Major items in the measurement are reported to the Investment Committee.
As far as possible, UNIQA uses data that are observable on the market when determining the fair value of an asset or a liability. Based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the fair values are assigned to different levels in the fair value hierarchy:
not fulfil the conditions under Level 1, along with structured products.
Level 3: measurement parameters for assets or liabilities that are not based or are only partly based on observable market data. The measurement here primarily involves application of the discounted cash flow method, comparative procedures with instruments for which there are observable prices and other procedures. As there are no observable parameters here in many cases, the estimates used can have a significant impact on the result of the measurement. At UNIQA, it is primarily other equity investments, private equity and hedge funds as well as structured products that do not fulfil the conditions under Level 2 that are assigned to Level 3.
If the inputs used to determine the fair value of an asset or a liability can be assigned to different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the entire fair value measurement is assigned to the respective level of the fair value hierarchy that corresponds to the lowest input significant for the measurement overall.
UNIQA recognises reclassifications between different levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period in which the change occurred.
The measurement processes and methods are as follows:
For the measurement of investments, the procedures best suited for the establishment of the corresponding value are applied. The following standard valuation techniques are applied for financial instruments which come under Levels 2 and 3:
Market approach
The measurement method in the market approach is based on prices or other applicable information from market transactions which involve identical or comparable assets and liabilities.
Income approach
The income approach corresponds to the method whereby the future (expected) payment flows or earnings are inferred on a current amount.

The main unobservable input in the measurement of fixed-income securities is the specific credit spread. In order to be able to measure these securities in a discounted cash flow model, the spreads are determined using a selection of reference securities with comparable characteristics. For the fixed-income securities in Level 3, an increase in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in a 5.9 per cent reduction in value (2023: 4.6 per cent). A reduction in the discount rate by 100 basis points results in a 3.9 per cent increase in value (2023: 3.6 per cent).
Other securities under Level 3 mainly comprise private equity funds and other equity investments. Private equity funds are measured based on the net asset values which are determined by the fund manager using specific unobservable inputs for all underlying portfolio positions. This is done in accordance with the International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines. For other equity investments under Level 3, invested
capital is considered to be an appropriate measure of fair value. In these cases, a sensitivity analysis is not applicable.
Securities loaned within the framework of securities lending continue to be recognised in the statement of financial position, as the significant opportunities and risks are not transferred through the lending. In return, UNIQA receives collateral in the form of securities that are not recognised in the statement of financial position. At the reporting date, the carrying amount of the loaned financial assets in the category of "Fixed-income securities at fair value through other comprehensive income" from securities lending transactions amounts to €655.9 million (2023: €526.2 million). The fair value corresponds to the carrying amount. The equivalent amount of the collateral received is €747.1 million (2023: €571.6 million). The components of these transactions recognised in profit or loss are reported under "Net investment income".

The currency losses in net investment income amount to €3 million (1–6/2023: currency losses of €16 million).
Current income from fixed-income securities at fair value through other comprehensive income contains current interest income according to the effective interest method amounting to €192 million (1–6/2023: €169 million). In the category "Financial assets at amortised cost", these amount to €21 million (1–6/2023: €19 million).
Expected credit losses are calculated using the 3-stage model for debt instruments measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss and equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income ("FVOCI option") are not subject to the impairment model.
To determine the expected credit losses, UNIQA uses a credit deterioration model in which the amount of the risk provision to be recognised is based on the change in the default risk of a financial instrument following its addition. The risk provision is also recognised for expected losses and therefore represents a prospective impairment in the amount of the present value of the expected credit losses. The expected credit losses are determined as at the
measurement date as the difference between the discounted contractual cash flows and the risk-weighted cash flows. The scenario-based risk weighting of the cash flows is carried out using the probability of default and the loss given default. The model that UNIQA uses to determine expected credit losses aims to come up with an undistorted, scenario-weighted amount. It does this by taking into account the time value of money as well as data on current economic conditions and their future forecasts that are available at the measurement date without unreasonable time and cost. The probabilities of default also include forward-looking information and take the macro-economic development of the unemployment rate into account as well as the high-yield spreads.
The probability of default is the probability that debtors will be unable to meet their payment obligations, either within the next twelve months or over the entire remaining term. The loss given default corresponds to the expectation of how much the loss of a financial asset will be in the event of default.
UNIQA obtains most of the data used to calculate the probability of default and the loss given default from external data sources. The probability of default is determined at issuer level, and the loss given default is allocated on the basis of long-term averages of individual classes of financial instruments. In cases where specific input data is not completely available from external data
sources (e.g. financial assets that are not externally rated), the risk parameters were allocated on the basis of benchmarks of comparable instruments and expert assessments.
The time value of money (which is needed to determine the expected credit losses) is the effective interest rate of the respective financial asset, determined at the date when the financial asset was acquired.
The expected credit loss of a financial instrument is determined based on the assigned impairment level on the measurement date either as the present value of the expected defaults over the next twelve months or as the present value of the expected defaults over the entire remaining term.
At each measurement date, all financial assets within the scope of the impairment model are assigned to an impairment level.
For Level 1 financial instruments, an impairment is recognised in the amount of the 12-month expected credit loss (12-month ECL). The 12-month ECL represents a portion of the total expected credit losses (lifetime ECLs) that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within twelve months after the reporting period. Financial instruments for which no significant increase in the credit risk was determined on the measurement date as well as financial instruments first recognised on the measurement date are assigned to Level 1. Furthermore, instruments with a low default risk (investment grade) are regularly assigned to Level 1 of the impairment model. UNIQA makes use of the option of not analysing a significant increase in credit risk for instruments with a low default risk (investment grade – in UNIQA's model up to the equivalent of a rating level of BBB-) on the measurement date.
For Level 2 financial instruments, an impairment is recognised in the amount of the present value of the expected credit losses over the entire maturity. Financial instruments for which a significant increase in the credit risk was identified on the measurement date are assigned to Level 2.
For Level 3 financial instruments, an impairment is recognised in the amount of the present value of the expected credit losses over the entire maturity. Financial instruments viewed as having diminished
creditworthiness on the measurement date are assigned to Level 3.
UNIQA assesses a significant increase in credit risk overall on the basis of quantitative and qualitative criteria. To make this quantitative assessment, the probability-ofdefault curve over the lifetime at the measurement date is compared with the forward-looking probability-of-default curve over the lifetime at the time of initial recognition. A significant increase in credit risk is normally assumed whenever there is a relative doubling of the probability of default since the date of purchase. If a significant increase in credit risk is determined on the measurement date, an allocation to "Level 2" is made. As a backstop for the identification of a significant increase in the credit risk of a financial instrument, contractual cash flows are assumed to be overdue at more than 30 days.
In the overall assessment, a qualitative evaluation of the level allocation for Level 1 or Level 2 is also carried out based on external market indicators and by subject matter experts. In the qualitative assessment, particular consideration is given to factors such as a significant change in contractual terms, a borrower's ability to repay their other exposures, as well as external factors with a potentially significant influence on the borrower's ability to repay.
An allocation to Level 3 (credit-impaired financial assets) of the impairment model is made if one or more events with an adverse effect on the expected future cash flows of the financial asset occur. Among others, UNIQA considers the following events to be indicators:
In addition, a financial instrument is assigned to Level 3 if contractual cash flows are more than 90 days in default. To assess whether a financial asset is credit-impaired, the indicators are considered both individually and collectively.

Insurance and reinsurance contracts along with investment contracts with discretionary participation features fall within the scope of IFRS 17 (Insurance Contracts), which differentiates between three measurement models: the general measurement model, the premium allocation approach and the variable fee approach. The general measurement model is applied for the long-term property and casualty insurance business as well as for life insurance contracts without profit participation. For short-term contracts – this is predominantly the case in the area of property and casualty insurance – UNIQA uses the premium allocation approach. The variable fee approach is applied in
health insurance and for contracts that involve profit participation and unit-linked and index-linked life insurance contracts.
In the application of the general measurement model as well as the variable fee approach, the contractual service margin serves as a significant component. This represents the as yet unrealised profit for a group of insurance contracts that will be generated for services provided in the future and which is recognised through profit or loss over the coverage period in accordance with the provision of services. In the consolidated statement of financial position, the contractual service margin is included in the positions "Assets from insurance contracts" and "Liabilities from insurance contracts".
