Reinsurance Service Result 1H/2023 Contractual Service Margin (net)

  • Regular CSM release in line with expectations, mainly reflecting successful renewals in 2022/2023
  • Experience variance mainly driven by front loading of retro expenses and relatively low retrocession recovery due to benign large loss experience
  • Run-off result of +168 m. reflects overall favourable reserve development across most lines of business and includes release of RA in LIC

  • Strong new business CSM reflects successful 2023 renewals with attractive margins
  • Changes in estimates reflects experience variance for premium and acquisition expenses
  • Overall CSM growth expected to be lower in full year 2023, as renewal dates result in front loading of new business CSM in 1H/2023; CSM release more stable over the course of the year
