  • Protection against inflation risk

Cycle management

Effective cycle management and focus on profitability

  • Selective growth: increase market share in "hard" markets only
  • No pressure to grow due to low administrative expense ratio

Our capital structure consists not only of equity

Use of hybrids, securitisations etc. lowers cost of capital and levers RoE

  • Equity capital is by far the most expensive form of capital. Therefore, we make optimal use of equity substitutes:
    • Conventional reinsurance/retrocession on an opportunistic basis (i. e. use of other reinsurers' capital)
    • Alternative capital market transactions
    • Hybrid capital

Benefits of an above-average rating

Our cost of financing in the capital markets is lower

  • Hybrid bonds trade at tighter spreads
  • Better conditions for LoCs and credit lines

We create lower capital charges for our cedents

  • "AA" range S&P capital charge on reinsurance recoverables = 0.8% ("A" = 1.4%, BBB = 3.1%)
  • As an above-average rated R/I, we "minimise" our cedents' cost of capital

Capital adequacy ratio remains well above target Own Funds increase supported by operating earnings and new hybrid bond

Development of the Solvency II ratio

Eligible Own Funds Solvency Capital Requirements (SCR)

1) Excluding minority shareholdings of EUR 650 m.

2) Minimum Target Ratio Limit 180%

  • Increase in eligible own funds due to strong operating capital generation and issuance of new hybrid bond (EUR 750 m.)
  • SCR increased mainly as a result of business growth and higher asset volumes as well as stronger f/x rates compared to EUR with offsetting effects from interest rate movements
  • Increase in excess capital supports further business growth

Strong capital generation driven by business growth Increase in solvency ratio supported by issuance of new hybrid bond

IFRS 17 significantly changes the structure of the balance sheet IFRS 9 changes the classification and measurement of financial instruments

IFRS 17 - Full adoption of GMM allows to steer business on a consistent basis Ensuring transparency and bridging the GA(A)P to economic view

Full adoption of General Measurement Model (GMM) for entire business (P&C and L&H)

Valuation methods and rationale

  • Cash flows and economics of reinsurance business will remain unchanged
  • IFRS 17, in particular GMM as default model, is complex with significantly increased data and other requirements
  • However, we have taken a broader, long-term view and aim to use the change in accounting as transformational in order to
    • increase transparency on earning patterns and value creation, incl. comparability between lines of business
    • improve alignment with both Solvency II and internal performance measures (IVC: Intrinsic Value Creation)
    • review our data and IT infrastructure, streamline processes and increase automation
    • solve systematic IFRS4 accounting mismatches and reward asset-liability management efforts
    • improve steering and managing of our portfolios
  • Adoption of OCI option for large parts of our portfolio to match investment valuation will reduce volatility from interest rate movements
  • Prudent reserving approach will be maintained and together with CSM and RA at transition – help to manage potential increased volatility

IFRS 9 - Fundamental revision of accounting rules for financial instruments Higher share of assets at Fair Value through P&L

Classification and valuation

  • Majority of investments in scope of IFRS 9 (direct real estates out of scope)
  • IAS 39 categories HtM, L&R, AfS, FVPL will change to
    • Amortised Costs (AC)
    • Fair Value through P&L (FVPL)
    • Fair Value through OCI (FVOCI)
    • Fair Value through OCI w/o recycling (FVOCI non-recycling)
  • Reduced flexibility in assigning financial instruments to valuation categories ("SPPI" criteria)
  • Business model "Hold & Sell" has been applied, i.e. most financial instruments continue to be classified as FVOCI (~ 93%)
  • FVPL volume rises significantly
  • Expected Credit Loss (ECL) becomes new P&L component
  • Existing currency accounting mismatch (monetary vs. non-monetary items) will be mitigated with changes in FV of investment funds (incl. Private-Equity, Real-Estate, fixed-income funds and the respective f/x effects) now being recognised in P&L (previously OCI)
  • Minor effect on equity at transition (amortised costs instruments)

SPPI = Solely payment of principle interest

Assets categorised Fair Value P&L

• Main asset classes: Private-Equity, Real-Estate, fixed-income funds

Introduction of Expected Credit Loss (ECL)

  • ECL is measured at acquisition for all fixed-income instruments categorised Amortised Cost or Fair Value OCI
  • In case of a significant change in credit quality, probability of default changes from 1 year to remaining maturity

Transition to IFRS 17 moderately increases earnings level Impact of IFRS 17/9 accounting change

Property & Casualty reinsurance Life & Health reinsurance

  • Prudent Reserving approach and Retro Strategy continue to mitigate overall volatility
  • OCI option limits volatility of technical result and equity

  • CSM release with stabilising effect on overall result

  • OCI option limits volatility of technical result and equity

  • Volatility likely to increase due to higher share of assets FVPL, but due to "hold & sell" >90% FVOCI
  • Minor impact from introduction of Expected Credit Loss
  • Insurance related derivatives reflected in technical result

• Minor impact from accounting change

  • Minor impact for large parts of L&H business
  • Uplift from unlocking effect for mortality business with long durations
  • Minor impact from accounting change

80 Hannover Re: the somewhat different reinsurer

Reinsurance revenue will be lower than gross written premium

P&C reinsurance L&H reinsurance

1) At unchanged f/x rates

P&C: IFRS 17 with limited impact on earnings level Prudent reserving approach

  • Positive impact from margin improvements expected in 2023 renewals provides flexibility to strengthen resilience reserve
  • Prudent reserving approach
  • Large loss budget increased to EUR 1,725 m.

Underlying development Accounting impact IFRS 17

Discounting

  • Lower Combined ratio due to discounting of cash flows, offsetting impact from interest accretion in insurance finance expenses
  • OCI option limits volatility of technical result and equity Reserving
  • Prudent best estimate reflected in LIC; expectation of positive run-off result (A/E experience)
  • As a result of prudent initial reserving parts of the loss component might ultimately not be loss making
  • Risk adjustment (RA) provides additional layer of prudency

P&C: translation to IFRS 17 metrics results in lower combined ratio Outlook 2023: Expected margin improvements enable strengthening of resiliency

Accounting impact IFRS 17

Discounting

• Positive impact on combined ratio (magnitude depending on interest rate level)

Change in disclosure

• Deduction of commissions and NDIC2) from both numerator and denominator

Admin expenses

  • Directly attributable expenses are lower than IFRS 4 admin expenses
  • Moderate positive impact of ~0.6%p reflects overall low expense ratio

Risk adjustment

  • Business growth with negative impact on combined ratio Other
  • Other methodological changes (e.g. seasonality of loss component)

Illustrative translation to IFRS 17 assuming a combined ratio <100 %. 1) Reinsurance revenue (gross) – Reinsurance expenses (ceded) 2) Non-distinct investment component

L&H: IFRS 17 transition effects will lead to moderately higher earnings level Outlook 2023: further growth mainly from Longevity and Financial Solutions

  • Supported by further growth mainly in Longevity and Financial Solutions
  • Further decreasing impact from Covid-19

Insurance service result

  • Insurance service result will include full profitability of underwriting activity
    • Includes result from currently deposit accounted treaties in Financial Solutions
    • Includes planned income from funds withheld

Underlying development Accounting impact IFRS 17

  • Focus of transition approach on sustainability of future earnings
  • Better reflection of value and earnings of L&H business
  • Increasing transparency in particular in connection to CSM development
  • Overall similar earnings pattern (largely unchanged for Financial Solutions and Longevity business)
  • Transition to IFRS 17 results in unlocking of best estimate liability and unlocking of discount rates to current interest rates

EBIT level up by mid to high double-digit million

Investments: IFRS 9 has limited impact on underlying earnings level P&L volatility likely to increase due to higher share of assets FVPL

Underlying development

  • Ordinary investment income
    • Increasing contribution from fixed income securities (excl. inflation-linked bonds),
    • Decreasing contribution from inflation-linked bonds based on currently embedded inflation expectation
    • Planned contribution from alternative investments in line with 2022
  • No realised gains / losses planned
  • Current economic environment bears risk of decreasing valuation of private equity and real estate

Accounting impact IFRS 9

  • Volatility likely to increase (more pronounced in P&C) due to higher share of assets FVPL
    • Increase from <1% to ~7.5%, main asset classes: Private-Equity, Real-Estate, fixedincome funds
  • Minor impact from introduction of Expected Credit Loss
  • Insurance related derivatives reflected in technical result

  • Margin approach aligned with pricing metrics for insurance risks calculated with available capital as base
  • Consideration of group diversification
  • Confidence level of risk adjustment ~80%
  • Risk adjustment (RA) is sensitive to interest rate movements
  • Risk adjustment (at transition) at similar level to Solvency II risk margin

Key take-aways: Greater transparency on future results Increasing earnings in the medium term

  • Economic view: More realistic and aligned presentation of market and interest rate developments
  • Increasing Transparency: Additional items will help to estimate current financial status
  • Increased comparability: Common set of valuation principles across the industry
  • Better visibility: Better disclosure of information to anticipate future profits

Outlook for Hannover Re:

Property & Casualty reinsurance:

  • Very favourable underlying market conditions
    • improved net risk return and underlying earnings profile provide increased flexibility to increase confidence level of reserves

Life & Health reinsurance:

  • Positive underlying business development
    • profitable business growth mainly driven by Longevity and Financial Solutions
    • additional uplift from transition to IFRS17
  • Further decrease of Covid-19-impact expected

Investments:

  • Ordinary investments will benefit from higher interest rates
  • Contribution from inflation-linked bonds is expected to decline (materially)
  • Some allowance for negative FVPL impact from Private Equity and real estate

Details on reserve review by WTW

• The scope of WTW's work was to review certain parts of the held loss and loss adjustment expense reserve, net of outwards reinsurance, from Hannover Re Group's consolidated IFRS financial statements and the implicit resiliency reserve margin, for the non-life business of Hannover Re Group annually as at each 31 December, most recently as at 31 December 2022. WTW concludes that the reviewed loss and loss adjustment expense reserve, net of reinsurance, less the resiliency reserve margin is reasonable in that it falls within WTW's range of reasonable estimates.

• Life reinsurance and health reinsurance business are excluded from the scope of this review.

• WTW's review of non-life reserves as at 31 December 2022 covered 97.2% / 100.0% of the gross and net held non-life reserves of €41.0 billion and €37.8 billion respectively. Together with life reserves of gross €5.9 billion and net €5.7 billion, the total balance sheet reserves amount to €46.9 billion gross and €43.6 billion net.

• The results shown in WTW's reports are not intended to represent an opinion of market value and should not be interpreted in that manner. The reports do not purport to encompass all of the many factors that may bear upon a market value.

• WTW's analysis was carried out based on data as at evaluation dates for each 31 December. WTW's analysis may not reflect claim development or all information that became available after the valuation dates and WTW's results, opinions and conclusions presented herein may be rendered inaccurate by developments after the valuation dates.

• The results shown in this presentation are based on a series of assumptions as to the future. It should be recognised that actual future claim experience is likely to deviate, perhaps materially, from WTW's estimates. This is because the ultimate liability for claims will be affected by future external events; for example, the likelihood of claimants bringing suit, the size of judicial awards, changes in standards of liability, and the attitudes of claimants towards the settlement of their claims.

• As is typical for insurance and reinsurance companies, claims reporting can be delayed due to late notifications by some claimants and cedants. This increases the uncertainty in the WTW results.

• Hannover Rück SE has asbestos, environmental and other health hazard (APH) exposures which are subject to greater uncertainty than other general liability exposures. WTW's analysis of the APH exposures assumes that the reporting and handling of APH claims is consistent with industry benchmarks. However, there is scope for wide variation in actual experience relative to these benchmarks. Thus, although Hannover Re Group's held reserves show resiliency reserve compared to WTW's indications, the actual fully developed losses could prove to be significantly different to both the held and indicated amounts.

• WTW has not anticipated any extraordinary changes to the legal, social, inflationary or economic environment, or to the interpretation of policy language, that might affect the cost, frequency, or future reporting of claims. In addition, WTW's estimates make no provision for potential future claims arising from causes not substantially recognised in the historical data (such as new types of mass torts or latent injuries, terrorist acts), except in so far as claims of these types are included incidentally in the reported claims and are implicitly developed.

• Sharp increases in inflation in many economies worldwide have resulted from recent rises in energy, food, component and raw material prices driven by wider economic effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict combined with factors such as supply chain disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and labour shortages. Generally, inflation is expected to remain elevated in the near term despite mitigating policy responses by central banks and governments. Over time reductions in inflation rates to more normative levels, barring future shocks to the global economy are expected. However, prospective inflationary risks remain high due to the continuing Russia-Ukraine conflict and heightened geopolitical tensions with increased possibilities of hitherto unexpected conflict escalation. Longer term implications for inflation from current conflicts, heightened geopolitical tensions, increased energy prices, potential reductions in food supplies, disruption in global trading and their impacts on insurance exposures remain highly uncertain. The WTW analysis makes no explicit allowance for extraordinary future effects that may result from the above factors or other emerging shocks on the projection results.

• In accordance with its scope WTW's estimates are on the basis that all of Hannover Re Group's reinsurance protection will be valid and collectable. Further liability may exist for any reinsurance that proves to be irrecoverable. • WTW's estimates are in Euros based on the exchange rates provided by Hannover Re Group as at each 31 December evaluation date. However, a substantial proportion of the liabilities is denominated in foreign currencies. To the extent that the assets backing the reserves are not held in matching currencies, future changes in exchange rates may lead to significant exchange gains or losses.

• WTW has not attempted to determine the quality of Hannover Re Group's current asset portfolio, nor has WTW reviewed the adequacy of the balance sheet provisions except as otherwise disclosed herein.

• In its review, WTW has relied on audited and unaudited data and financial information supplied by Hannover Rück SE and its subsidiaries, including information provided orally. WTW relied on the accuracy and completeness of this information without independent verification.

• Except for any agreed responsibilities WTW may have to Hannover Re Group, WTW does not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any person for any damages suffered by such person arising out of this commentary or references to WTW in this document.
