We are somewhat different Our approach in P&C reinsurance

Underwriting

Empowered underwriters

  • − Fast decision-making and strong underwriting culture
  • − Contributes to lean operating model

Distribution

Distribution channels

− Flexible cost base due to relatively higher share of business written via brokers (~2/3)

Reserving

Conservative reserve policy

  • − Reduction of P&C earnings volatility
  • − 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 admin expense ratio
  • ‒ Above-average profitability due to stringent underwriting approach with focus on bottom line

Broad portfolio diversification in Property & Casualty across business lines

Hannover Re Group

Our capital structure consists not only of equity

Use of hybrids, securitizations 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

Details on reserve review by WTW

  • − WTW's review of the LIC claim reserves as at 31 December 2024 covered 97.4% of the gross and 99.2% of the net undiscounted Liability for Incurred Claims ("LIC"). Life reinsurance and health reinsurance business are excluded from the scope of this review
  • − The scope of WTW's work was to review the nominal and discounted claims cash flows for the non-life LIC under IFRS17, gross and net of outwards reinsurance, from Hannover Rück SE's consolidated IFRS17 financial statements and the implicit resiliency reserve margin as at 31 December 2024. WTW concludes that the reviewed LIC claims reserves, net of reinsurance, less the resiliency margin is reasonable in that it falls within WTW's range of reasonable estimates. The scope of WTW's reviews is aligned with IFRS 17 from 31 December 2023 onwards with the prior reviews being aligned with IFRS 4.
  • − WTW's analysis relies on data provided by Hannover Rück SE as of 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 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.
  • − 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.
  • − 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.
  • − WTW's analysis includes 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. The actual fully developed losses for these claim exposures could prove to be significantly different to both the held and indicated amounts.
  • − Sharp increases in inflation in many economies worldwide have resulted from rises in energy, food, component, and raw material prices since 2021, driven by wider economic effects of the Russia-Ukraine conflict combined with factors such as supply chain disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, labour shortages and geopolitical tensions. Generally, inflation has remained elevated since 2021 despite mitigating policy responses by central banks and governments. However, inflation rates appear to have peaked and have declined with an expectation of normalising in 2025. Prospective inflationary risks remain high due to the current heightened geopolitical tensions with increased possibilities of hitherto unexpected conflict escalation. Uncertainty around possible changes to tariffs applied by the US on other countries, and any reciprocal actions that they take, could result in economic shocks that cause increases in inflation which have not been anticipated in the WTW analysis. WTW's 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 Rück SE'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 Rück SE as at 31 December 2024. 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 Rück SE's current asset portfolio, nor has WTW reviewed the adequacy of the balance sheet position 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 Rück SE, 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.
