This Quarterly Statement has been prepared in accordance with IFRS principles as at 30 September 2023. It does not constitute a Quarterly Financial Report in accordance with IAS 34 or Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 1.
According to initial provisional figures from the German Federal Statistical Office, real gross domestic product in Germany declined slightly in the third quarter. Higher financing costs squeezed investment, especially in housing construction. Equity markets were initially stable, trending sideways, before prices fell on account of increasing inflation and interest rate worries. Especially in the third quarter, claims performance was affected by a rise in adverse weather events and a higher number of claims and claims expenses as a result, primarily in motor insurance. The W&W Group was not immune to this and reported consolidated net profit as at 30 September of €101.1 million (previous year: €179.7 million).

The W&W Group saw continued success in new business. In gross new home loan savings business, it achieved the best ever figure in the company's history. New lending business, on the other hand, declined on account of higher financing costs. In life and health insurance, total premiums for new business picked up. In property/casualty insurance, the growth trajectory also continued.

The W&W Group has applied the new standard IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts since 1 January 2023. The previous year's figures have been restated accordingly. IFRS 17 replaces IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts, which had been in effect since 1 January 2005, in full and for the first time introduces standardised requirements for the recognition, valuation, presentation and notes on insurance contracts and reinsurance contracts issued or held by the W&W Group's insurance companies.
The details of the introduction of IFRS 17 were already presented in the 2022 annual report and in the 2023 halfyear financial report of the W&W Group. They appear in the "Accounting policies" section.
The W&W Group is still continuing its digital transformation process with "W&W Besser!". The strategic projects were further advanced in the third quarter of 2023.
■ In the Insurance division, Württembergische continued to develop as a partner to small and medium-sized enterprises. More than 600 mobile sales force colleagues have now qualified for the title "SME partner". In addition, Württembergische Lebensversicherung AG implemented data delivery on company pension schemes to the employer portal Württembergische bAVnet, also known as XEMPUS Manager, on a daily basis rather than monthly as previously. This served to improve the registration processes and increase the transparency of changes in customer policy data.
■ In the Housing division, the W&W Group now has around 800 modernisation consultants. The W&W Group wants to play an active role on this growth market in the future and create a unique selling point through this.
Responsible action and social commitment have a long tradition in the W&W Group and are an integral part of its strategic orientation. It is based on an understanding of long-term, stability-focused corporate governance that in turn has its roots in the foundation ideals of W&W AG's main shareholder. The Group-wide sustainability strategy has been revised in order to further advance the issue of sustainability. This involved a focus on increasing the measurability of sustainability goals.
We have voluntarily joined initiatives such as the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) or the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and are committed to increasingly implementing and continuously developing sustainable principles in our business activities.
There are various European regulatory requirements on transparency and disclosure of sustainability information. At present, W&W Group's implementation activities are focused on the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). These will apply for the first time for the 2024 financial year and replace previous non-financial reporting.
Total comprehensive income
As at 30 September 2023, the consolidated net profit after taxes was €101.1 million (previous year: €179.7 million).
With the new accounting standard IFRS 17, part of the consolidated net financial result is attributable to insurance contracts with direct participation features (in life and health insurance). This part of the net financial result is allocated to the technical result. Previously, the net financial result amounted to €1,082.7 million (previous year: -€109.0 million). This increase is primarily attributable to the better measurement result, which benefited from the stabler capital markets than in the previous year. Current net income also picked up. In contrast, net income from disposals declined. After the allocation, the net financial result still grew to €409.2 million (previous year: €210.1 million).
The technical result (net) decreased to €77.5 million (previous year: €229.9 million). The result in property/casualty insurance fell significantly, primarily the result of increased claims expenses due to natural disasters and large losses and in motor business. In life and health insurance, the result was relatively stable. Here, the application of IFRS 17 had a smoothing effect on the development of results overall.
Net commission expense amounted to -€21.5 million (previous year: -€2.2 million). This decrease is attributable to ceased account maintenance fees and the positive development of new home loan savings business, which led to higher commission expenses.
General administrative expenses (gross) increased to €828.4 million (previous year: €776.6 million). Marketing initiatives and investments in our IT infrastructure resulted in higher materials costs. Personnel expenses saw a moderate increase of around 3% on account of inflationdriven pension adjustments and collectively bargained salary increases. As already described with regard to the net financial result, cost components attributable to the technical result were also allocated to general administrative expenses (in both life and health insurance and property and casualty insurance). This put general administrative expenses (net) at €383.9 million (previous year: €345.2 million).
Net other operating income came to €59.8 million (previous year: €139.9 million). Among other things, this was the result of lower income from settlement transactions in connection with home loan savings deposits.
As at 30 September 2023, total comprehensive income stood at €27.2 million (previous year: -€309.9 million). It consists of consolidated net profit and other comprehensive income (OCI).
OCI as at 30 September 2023 was -€128.3 million (previous year: -€489.6 million). The slight rise in interest rates in 2023 had a negative effect on the market values of fixed-income securities and registered securities. Their unrealised losses, which were recognised in OCI, came to -€620.8 million (previous year: -€6,257.2 million). This was countered by the increase in interest rates for the valuation of technical provisions under IFRS 17. The resulting unrealised gains amounted to €518.2 million (previous year: €5,408.3 million). Actuarial losses from defined benefit plans amounted to -€26.8 million (previous year: €359.3 million). Interest had increased even more significantly in the previous year and led to correspondingly higher measurement effects.
As a complement to the income statement, OCI serves to depict profit and loss that is recognised directly in equity and that results from accounting under IFRS 9 and IFRS 17. It essentially reflects the interest rate sensitivity of the assets side of our balance sheet and of underwriting on the liabilities side. The application of the new standard to account for insurance contracts, IFRS 17, significantly reduced measurement discrepancies.
New business for housing purposes for urgent financing, modernisation and the accumulation of equity (total from new business (gross) and the new lending business total including brokering for third parties) came to €17,136 million (previous year: €19,106 million).
Gross new business in terms of total home loan savings contracts and net new business achieved the best ninemonth figures in the company's history. Gross new business rose to €14,251 million (previous year: €13,827 million) and net new business soared by 42.1% to €13,066 million (previous year: €9,193 million).
As a result of the difficult economic conditions, the new lending business total developed in line with the market and declined on the very strong prior year to €2,885 million (previous year: €5,280 million).
Wüstenrot Bausparkasse AG rigorously continued its growth course in the home loan savings business. It continued to grow more strongly than the sector and further expanded its market share.

Net income after taxes in the Housing segment was €51.7 million (previous year: €56.6 million).
The net financial result climbed to €334.7 million (previous year: €198.4 million). This was largely attributable to higher net income from disposals and increased current
net income. Net interest income benefited from the remeasurement of the additional liabilities recognised as part of the purchase price allocation of the former Aachener Bausparkasse AG for acquired contracts with customers in the home loan and savings pool.
Net commission income declined to -€28.4 million (previous year: €7.8 million). This development was primarily driven by the removal of account maintenance fees in the savings phase and higher commission expenses as a result of the significantly increased new home loan savings business.
General administrative expenses amounted to €256.3 million (previous year: €239.8 million). As a result of our projects for further digitalisation, materials costs and depreciation on capitalised acquisition costs increased.
Net other operating income declined to €26.4 million (previous year: €114.7 million). This was mainly the result of lower income from settlement transactions in connection with home loan savings deposits.
Total premiums for new life insurance business rose to €2,443 million (previous year: €2,377 million). Growth in company pension schemes played a key role here. Total premiums were up 17.8% at €835 million (previous year: €709 million).

Annual new premiums also enjoyed growth in health insurance, rising to €7.0 million (previous year: €4.8 million). New business reported growth in full-coverage premium rates as well as supplementary rates.
Segment net income after taxes stood at €22.2 million (previous year: €31.7 million).
With the new accounting standard IFRS 17, almost all the net financial result is attributable to contracts with direct participation features. This share of the net financial result is recognised in the technical result and taken into account in the adjustment of the contractual service margin through other comprehensive income. Before the allocation, the net financial result in the Life and Health Insurance segment amounted to €659.8 million (previous year: -€325.3 million). This was due mainly to the measurement result. In the previous year, higher inflation resulted in measurement losses. By contrast, the current financial year saw measurement gains on shares and interest-bearing securities. This development was also evident in the case of investments for unit-linked life insurance policies. Moreover, the increase in interest income led to higher current net income.
The technical result (net) fell to €65.2 million (previous year: €72.0 million). Insurance revenue (technical income) increased to €870.7 million (previous year: €818.9 million). The previous year's increase in interest rates led to growth in the contractual service margin (CSM) of around 11% compared to the previous year and thus slightly revenue in the current financial year. Technical expenses increased to €794.7 million (previous year: €737.0 million). In the previous year, the increase in interest rates resulted in one-off income for our pension fund.
Gross general administrative expenses (before the attribution of components of profit or loss attributable to the technical result) increased to €188.9 million (previous year: €177.5 million). Increased materials costs were offset by lower personnel expenses. After the allocation to the technical result, net general administrative expenses amounted to €28.1 million (previous year: €20.5 million).
New business in terms of the annual contribution to the portfolio amounted to €349.7 million (previous year: €280.6 million). Both brand new business and replacement business were increased compared with the previous year. There was significant growth in the corporate customer and motor businesses. Business with retail customers was higher than planned but lower than in the previous year due to a special effect. There was also a high level of non-recurring new business with underwriters in the previous year. After adjustment for this effect, new business with retail customers increased.

| Corporate customers | 100.1 | 75.1 | +33.3 |
| Retail customers | 51.9 | 55.2 | -6.0 |
Segment net income after taxes stood at €9.9 million (previous year: €97.9 million).
The net financial result climbed to €40.3 million (previous year: -€7.5 million). This was due chiefly to the improved net measurement income on shares, investment funds and fixed-income securities.
The technical result (net) fell slightly to €14.0 million (previous year: €154.0 million). All in all, the insurance portfolio grew well thanks to the good new and replacement business. Technical revenue rose to €1,903.1 million (previous year: €1,717.9 million). As well as the increase in
claims expenses due to large losses in the corporate customer business and higher natural disasters in the summer months, the technical result was particularly negative impacted by higher claims inflation in combination with the increase in claims frequency in motor. The combined ratio (net) in accordance with IFRS 17 stood at 99.3% (previous year: 91.1%).
General administrative expenses (gross) came to €332.8 million (previous year: €303.4 million). Both materials costs and personnel expenses increased, essentially the result of our IT investments. After the allocation to the technical result, net general administrative expenses amounted to €49.1 million (previous year: €28.9 million).
"All other segments" covers the divisions that cannot be allocated to any other segment. This mainly includes W&W AG - together with its participations in Wüstenrot Immobilien GmbH, W&W Asset Management GmbH, Wüstenrot Haus- und Städtebau GmbH, and W&W brandpool GmbH - and the Group's internal service providers.
Segment net income after taxes amounted to €70.2 million (previous year: €29.3 million).
The net financial result climbed to €88.3 million (previous year: €13.0 million). This was thanks to higher distributions and a better measurement result. Declining capital markets in the previous year led to measurement losses for shares and investment funds, which did not occur in the first three quarters of 2023.
Net commission income increased slightly to €29.1 million (previous year: €26.3 million).
General administrative expenses amounted to €69.4 million (previous year: €65.3 million). Higher write-downs were recognised on account of our investment in digitalisation initiatives and in the campus buildings. Personnel expenses also rose as a result of higher wages and salaries.
Net other operating income declined to €23.2 million (previous year: €38.8 million). The previous year saw higher income from construction projects at Wüstenrot Haus- und Städtebau GmbH and from reversals of miscellaneous provisions.
Given the exceptionally challenging circumstances, we have amended ad hoc our expectations for the 2023 financial year on 25 October 2023. The increase in adverse weather events and higher claims expenses, especially in motor insurance, mean that consolidated net income under IFRS will be lower than our previous forecast of between €220 million and €250 million.
We now anticipate consolidated net income of between €130 million and €160 million.
At the same time, we are standing by our forecast of W&W AG's net income under HGB of around €120 million.
The forecast is subject to the proviso that there are no upheavals on capital markets, economic slumps or unforeseen major loss events over the rest of the year.

The segment information is prepared in accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments on the basis of internal reporting, which the chief operating decision maker regularly uses to assess the segments' business performance and make decisions regarding allocating resources to the segments (known as the management approach). The Management Board is the chief operating decision maker in the W&W Group.
The reportable segments are identified on the basis of products and services and regulatory requirements. For this purpose, individual business segments are included in the Life and Health Insurance segment. The products and services used by the reportable segments to generate income are listed below. There is no dependency on individual major customers.
The reportable Housing segment has one business segment and covers home loan and savings and banking products, essentially for retail customers in Germany, e.g. home loan and savings contracts, advance loans, bridge loans and mortgages.
The reportable Life and Health Insurance segment has several business segments, all of which have similar characteristics and are comparable in terms of all IFRS 8 aggregation criteria. In particular, the group of persons, sales channels, regulatory framework, underlying actuarial calculations and the product type all have similar economic characteristics.
The reportable Life and Health Insurance segment provides a wide range of life and health insurance products for individuals and groups, including classic and unit-linked life and pension insurance, risk life and health insurance policies, occupational disability insurance, comprehensive and supplementary private health insurance and care insurance.
The reportable Property/Casualty Insurance segment provides a comprehensive selection of insurance products for retail and corporate customers, including liability, personal accident, motor, household, residential building, legal, transport and technical insurance.
All W&W Group's other business activities, such as central Group functions, asset management, building developer activities, were grouped under All other segments as these are not directly related to the other reportable segments. This also includes interests in subsidiaries of W&W AG that cannot be consolidated in All other segments (e.g. Wüstenrot Bausparkasse AG, Württembergische Lebensversicherung AG, Württembergische Versicherung AG and Württembergische Krankenversicherung AG), because they are allocated to another segment (Housing, Life and Health Insurance, Property/Casualty Insurance).
Consolidation measures that are necessary for reconciliation to Group figures are shown under the column Consolidation/reconciliation.
As in previous years, each individual segment's performance is measured by net segment income under IFRS. Transactions between the segments are conducted at arm's length conditions.
The measurement principles used in segment reporting are the same as the accounting policies used in the IFRS consolidated financial statements, with the following exceptions. In line with internal Group reporting and management, IFRS 16 is not applied to leases under the law of obligations within the Group. Interests in the subsidiaries of W&W AG that are not consolidated in All other segments are measured there at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI, not reclassified to the consolidated income statement).
