Insurance revenue

Opex (Cost cutting)

Combined ratio

Insurance revenue und Opex: change year-over-year

Unchanged product/market approach

  • Health remains the core product:
    • Unchanged focus on profitable products, in line with the core competencies of DFV.
    • Approx. two thirds of the new business stream results from established online channels with an increasing inflow from direct channels, fuelled by bespoke TV spots.
  • Segment reporting:
    • Health and P/C are now the reporting segments in the consolidated financial report.
    • The previously existing reporting segment Inwards Reinsurance disappears due to IFRS 17 (IFRS 8.13).

Stronger insurance service result (IFRS 17)

OCI: other comprehensive income

With regard to the reconciliation and recognition of IFRS 17 insurance items, certain insurance contracts and accounting methods are currently still under discussion, both in the literature and among auditing firms. As a result of this situation, we were forced to make adjustments to the opening balance (or changes in equity) between the publication of the 2022 Annual Report in March 2023 and the current H1 2023 Report. In particular, these adjustments related to the measurement of reinsurance contracts under the General Measurement Model (GMM) using the OCI option. It is possible that further changes will have to be taken into consideration in the Annual Report for 2023.

Growth of business volume drives both the insurance contract liabilities and the corresponding investment portfolio. 1

DFV's solvency position remains robust and significantly above the regulatory requirements

ESG rating confirms DFV's sustainability engagement

  • Initial ESG rating in 2023
    • ESG Book, founded by Arabesque in 2018 and an investment of inter alia Allianz X since 2022.
    • DFV 'significantly above average of the insurance industry'.
    • DFV part of TOP 15 % of ESG Book's company universe (based on a total of 8,900 listed companies).
    • Very good rating (sehr gute Leistung) in all three sub-scores.

Key messages

  • H1 2023 operating profit up 52 % y-o-y – cost discipline remains on the agenda 2
  • Despite a volatile investment income: FY 2023 profit guidance of €3 to 5 million is confirmed 3
