• 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.
