VFA: Variable fee approach, the compulsory measurement model under IFRS 17 for long-term participating business

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 audit firms. As a result, we were forced to make adjustments to the opening balance (or changes in equity) between the publication of the 2022 Annual Report and the H1 2023 Interim Report. In particular, these adjustments related to the measurement of outwards reinsurance contracts under the GMM using the OCI option. It is possible that further changes will have to be taken into consideration in the 2023 Annual Report.

  • Great volatility: 26 % decline of the net financial result y-o-y, with a certain recovery in Q3 2023. 1
    • Remarkable increase of the net financial result in Q3 2023 (H1 2023: €0.1 million).
    • Continued focus on real estate risks.
    • DFV's current investment return remains stable.
    • Net insurance finance expenses are driven by effects from changes in estimates (VFA).
  • Item contains €0.6 million one-off restructuring expenses. 2
  • On the background of a robust operating performance and a volatile net financial result – DFV's full-year profit guidance of €3 to 5 million is confirmed. 3
