NN Group is an international insurance and asset management company, active in more than 18 countries, with a strong presence in a number of European countries and Japan. With around 11,500 employees the group offers retirement services, insurance, investments and banking to more than 15 million customers. NN Group includes Nationale-Nederlanden, NN and NN Investment Partners. NN Group is listed on Euronext Amsterdam (NN).
NN Group uses two Alternative Performance Measures (APMs, also referred to as Non-GAAP measures) in its external financial reporting: Operating result and Adjusted allocated equity.
Operating result is used by NN Group to evaluate the financial performance of NN Group and its segments. NN Group uses Operating result as it reflects how management assesses the performance of the businesses. Operating result excludes gains and losses that are primarily driven by market fluctuations, arise from events or transactions that are clearly distinct from the ordinary business activities and/or are not expected to recur frequently or regularly. Operating result is calculated by adjusting the reported result for the following items:
Net operating result of NN Group is the Net operating result of the ongoing business, adjusted to reflect the deduction of the accrued coupon on undated subordinated notes classified in equity. The Operating result for the life insurance business is analysed through a margin analysis, which includes the investment margin, fees and premium-based revenues and the technical margin. Disclosures on comparative years also reflect the impact of current year's divestments. Operating result is an Alternative Performance Measure and is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS-EU. Because it is not determined in accordance with IFRS-EU, Operating result as presented by NN Group may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies. A reconciliation between Operating result and IFRS result is included in Note 15 'Segments' to the Condensed consolidated interim accounts.
NN Group evaluates the efficiency of the operational deployment of its equity by calculating Return On Equity ('ROE'). The net operating ROE is calculated using Net operating result for ongoing segments in the numerator and average Adjusted allocated equity for ongoing segments in the denominator. Adjusted allocated equity is derived from IFRS equity by adjusting for:
Allocated equity per segment represents the part of equity that is economically deployed by the segments. This allocation does not impact equity in total for NN Group. Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure that is not a measure under IFRS-EU. Adjusted allocated equity as applied by NN Group may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted allocated equity is reconciled to IFRS Total equity as follows:

Net operating ROE is calculated as the (annualised) net operating result of the ongoing business, adjusted to reflect the deduction of the accrued coupon on undated subordinated notes classified in equity, divided by (average) adjusted allocated equity of ongoing business.
The Solvency II ratio is not final until filed with the regulators. The Solvency II ratio is based on the partial internal model.
Note: Operating result and Adjusted allocated equity (as used in the calculation of Net operating ROE) are Alternative Performance Measures. These measures are derived from figures according to IFRS-EU. The operating result is derived by adjusting the reported result before tax to exclude the impact of result on divestments, discontinued operations and special items, gains/losses and impairments, revaluations and market & other impacts. The adjusted allocated equity is derived by adjusting the reported total equity to exclude revaluation reserves and the undated subordinated notes classified as equity. Alternative Performance Measures are non-IFRS-EU measures that have a relevant IFRS-EU equivalent. For definitions and explanations of the Alternative Performance Measures reference is made to the section 'Alternative Performance measures (Non-GAAP measures)'.
In the first six months of 2016, the net result of NN Group decreased to EUR 605 million from EUR 877 million in the same period of 2015, mainly reflecting a lower operating result of the ongoing business and lower result before tax for Japan Closed Block VA, partly compensated by higher non‐operating items.
The operating result of the ongoing business decreased to EUR 626 million from EUR 792 million in the first six months of 2015 due to higher claims in Netherlands Non-life as a result of severe storms, while last year's result benefited from higher private equity dividends and a significantly higher technical margin in Netherlands Life.
The administrative expense base for Netherlands Life, Netherlands Non-life and corporate/holding entities decreased by EUR 17 million in the first half of 2016 to EUR 786 million on a last 12-months basis. The target administrative expense base for Netherlands Life, Netherlands Non-life and corporate/holding entities by the end of 2018 will be reduced from EUR 700 million to EUR 685 million, following the announced divestment of Mandema & Partners.
In the first six months of 2016, Netherlands Life's operating result declined to EUR 369 million from EUR 484 million in the same period last year, which benefited from higher private equity dividends and non-recurring benefits in the technical margin. The technical margin in the first six months of 2016 also reflects an addition to the unit-linked guarantee provision of EUR 32 million due to a decrease in interest rates, compared with a EUR 8 million release of the provision in the same period last year.
The operating result of Netherlands Non‐life decreased to EUR 28 million from EUR 69 million in the first six months of 2015. The decrease is mainly attributable to the impact of severe storms, lower private equity dividends and unfavourable claims experience in Motor and Miscellaneous, partly compensated by fewer large claims in Fire.
In the first six months of 2016, the operating result of Insurance Europe decreased to EUR 86 million, from EUR 95 million in the same period of 2015. The decline in the investment margin and a decrease in the technical margin due to a provision related to the terrorist attacks in Belgium in March 2016 were only partly compensated by an increase in fees and premium-based revenues.
The operating result of Japan Life was EUR 90 million compared with EUR 96 million in the same period of 2015, II ratio of 239%, up from 212% at the end of the first quarter of 2016 due to positive market of the operating result reflects a lower investment margin, a decrease in mortality results and higher DAC amortisation on surrenders, partly offset by higher fees and premium-based revenues.
In the first six months of 2016, the operating result of Asset Management was EUR 62 million, down 16.8% compared with the same period in 2015. Lower average AuM as well as a shift to lower margin AuM led to lower fee income, which was only partly offset by a decrease in administrative expenses.
The operating result of the segment Other improved to EUR -9 million in the first six months of 2016, from EUR -27 million in the same period of 2015, mainly reflecting a higher operating result at NN Bank and lower holding expenses.
The result before tax decreased to EUR 758 million from EUR 1,044 million in the first six months of 2015, largely reflecting the lower operating result ongoing business and lower results at Japan Closed Block VA.
Gains/losses and impairments were EUR 117 million, compared with EUR 218 million in the first six months of 2015, which was supported by a gain on the sale of a large public equity investment in the Netherlands following a public offering in 2015.
Revaluations amounted to EUR 103 million in the first six months of 2016 reflecting positive revaluations on real estate investments and on private equity.
Market and other impacts amounted to EUR 54 million compared with EUR -111 million in the first six months of last year which included a movement in the provision for guarantees on separate account pension contracts (net of hedging) at Netherlands Life.
The result before tax of Japan Closed Block VA decreased to EUR -97 million in the first six months of 2016, compared with EUR 60 million in the same period of 2015. The first six months of 2016 included a EUR 103 million hedge-related loss due to higher market volatility and a EUR 16 million technical provision increase following the refinement of lapse assumptions on the portfolio, while the first six months of 2015 benefited from a EUR 12 million reserve release from higher lapse assumptions of out-of-money policies.
In the first six months of 2016, special items were EUR ‐46 million compared with EUR ‐55 million in the same period of 2015. In the first six months of 2016 special items consisted of disentanglement related expenses in Belgium, expenses for the rebranding of NN Group's subsidiaries and restructuring expenses related to the target to reduce the administrative expense base of Netherlands Life, Netherlands Non-life and corporate/holding entities.
In the first six months of 2016, the net result decreased to EUR 605 million from EUR 877 million in the same period of 2015. The effective tax rate in the first six months of 2016, was 20.1% compared with 13.6% in the same period of 2015, which included higher tax-exempt dividends and capital gains related to shareholdings of 5% or more in the Netherlands.
Total new sales (APE) in the first six months of 2016 amounted to EUR 762 million, down 3.6% compared with the same period last year on a constant currency basis, largely due to lower sales in Netherlands Life and Japan Life.
In the first six months of 2016, the value of new business (VNB) declined to EUR 101 million from EUR 113 million in the same period of 2015. The decrease primarily reflects a lower VNB at Insurance Europe largely due to lower term insurance sales in Belgium and negative market impacts.
The net operating ROE of the ongoing business of NN Group was 8.6% in the first six months of 2016 compared with 11.8% in the same period of 2015 which benefited from higher private equity dividends and a higher technical margin at Netherlands Life. The current year was impacted by higher claims at Netherlands Non-life due to severe storms.

Net operating ROE is calculated as the (annualised) net operating result of the segment, divided by (average) adjusted allocated equity. Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure. It is derived from IFRS equity by excluding revaluation reserves and undated subordinated notes classified as equity.
The Solvency II ratio is not final until filed with the regulators. The Solvency II ratio is based on the partial internal model.
In the first six months of 2016, Netherlands Life's operating result declined to EUR 369 million from EUR 484 million in the same period of 2015, which benefited from higher private equity dividends and non-recurring benefits in the technical margin.
The investment margin in the first six months of 2016 decreased to EUR 400 million from EUR 422 million in the same period of 2015, reflecting lower private equity dividends.
Fees and premium-based revenues decreased to EUR 176 million in the first six months of 2016 from EUR 196 million for the same period in 2015 mainly reflecting the individual life closed book run-off as well as lower margins in the pension business.
In the first six months of 2016, the technical margin decreased to EUR 30 million from EUR 108 million in the same period last year, which was supported by EUR 27 million of non-recurring benefits primarily related to technical provision releases. The technical margin also reflects an addition to the unit-linked guarantee provision of EUR 32 million in the first six months of 2016 due to a decrease in interest rates, compared with a EUR 8 million release of the provision in the same period last year.
Administrative expenses were EUR 216 million for the first six months of 2016, stable compared with the same period of 2015 as lower staff costs were offset by higher project expenses.
In the first six months of 2016, the result before tax was EUR 624 million compared with EUR 680 million in the same period of 2015. This decline is due to a lower operating result, lower gains/losses and impairments and lower positive revaluations on private equity and real estate. This was partly compensated by positive market and other impacts reflecting movements in the provision for guarantees on separate account pension contracts.
New sales (APE) decreased to EUR 196 million in the first six months of 2016 from EUR 203 million in the same period last year, which included a EUR 420 million single premium relating to the buy-out of a large company pension fund. Excluding the impact of this buy-out, APE increased by 21.4%, mainly driven by the renewal of a few large group pension contracts.
The value of new business (VNB) for the first six months of 2016 was EUR 6 million, compared with EUR 8 million in the same period last year.

Net operating ROE is calculated as the (annualised) net operating result of the segment, divided by (average) adjusted allocated equity. Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure. It is derived from IFRS equity by excluding revaluation reserves and undated subordinated notes classified as equity.
In the first six months of 2016, the operating result of Netherlands Non-life decreased to EUR 28 million from EUR 69 million in the same period of 2015. The decrease is mainly attributable to the impact of the severe storms, lower private equity dividends and unfavourable claims experience in Motor and Miscellaneous, partly compensated by fewer large claims in Fire.
The operating result in Disability & Accident (D&A) was EUR 58 million compared with EUR 66 million in the first six months of 2015, which included a EUR 6 million private equity dividend.
The operating result in P&C of EUR -32 million decreased from EUR 1 million in the first six months of 2015, due to the impact of severe storms, and lower underwriting results for the Motor and Miscellaneous portfolios, partly offset by fewer large claims in the Fire portfolio.
The combined ratio was 104.0% for the first six months of 2016 compared with 100.0% for the same period of 2015.
In the first six months of 2016, the result before tax decreased to EUR 47 million from EUR 81 million in the same period of 2015, as the lower operating result and higher special items reflecting restructuring expenses were only partly compensated by higher gains on the sale of debt securities.

In the first six months of 2016, the operating result of Insurance Europe decreased to EUR 86 million from EUR 95 million in the same period of 2015. The decline in the investment margin and a decrease in the technical margin due to a provision related to the terrorist attacks in Belgium in March 2016 were only partly compensated by an increase in fees and premium-based revenues.
The investment margin was EUR 34 million, down from EUR 41 million for the first six months of 2015 due to lower reinvestment rates and lower invested volumes.
Fees and premium-based revenues increased to EUR 271 million from EUR 267 million in the same period of 2015 reflecting updates to provisions in Romania and higher traditional life revenues, partly offset by a decrease in unit-linked revenues and lower fees on assets under management.
The technical margin decreased to EUR 93 million from EUR 96 million in the first six months of 2015, mainly due to a provision related to the terrorist attacks in Belgium in March 2016.
Administrative expenses were EUR 157 million in the first six months of 2016 from EUR 152 million in the same period of 2015, mainly reflecting the tax on assets of insurance companies that became effective in Poland as of February 2016 and higher project expenses across the region.
DAC amortisation and trail commissions decreased to EUR 157 million from EUR 161 million in the first six months of 2015, reflecting a lower crisis tax in Belgium as well as lower sales.
The result before tax decreased to EUR 57 million in the first six months of 2016 from EUR 88 million in the same period of 2015, reflecting the lower operating result and lower non-operating items, partly offset by a decrease in special items.
Gains/losses and impairments were EUR -6 million compared with EUR 20 million in the first six months of 2015 which included EUR 14 million of gains on the sale of bonds, fixed income funds and equities.
Revaluations were EUR 2 million compared with EUR 3 million in the first six months of 2015.
Market and other impacts decreased to EUR -3 million from nil in the first six months of 2015.
Special items before tax were EUR -22 million compared with EUR -30 million in the first six months of 2015, reflecting lower rebranding expenses across the region.
New sales were EUR 263 million in the first six months of 2016, down from EUR 273 million in the same period of 2015, which included the sale of a large group contract in Spain. Excluding this contract and excluding currency effects, sales increased by 3.4%, driven mainly by higher bancassurance sales in Romania.
In the first six months of 2016, the value of new business (VNB) decreased to EUR 46 million from EUR 55 million in the same period of 2015, largely due to lower term insurance sales in Belgium and negative market impacts.

In the first six months of 2016, the operating result of Japan Life was EUR 90 million compared with EUR 96 million in the same period of 2015, down 12.1% excluding currency effects. The decline of the operating result reflects a lower investment margin, a decrease in mortality results and higher DAC amortisation on surrenders, partly offset by higher fees and premium-based revenues.
The investment margin decreased to EUR -12 million from EUR -5 million in the first six months of 2015 due to lower interest rates on reinvested assets.
Fees and premium-based revenues increased to EUR 306 million from EUR 274 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding currency effects, fees and premium-based revenues increased by 4.4% driven by higher in-force volumes.
The technical margin was EUR -10 million down from EUR -7 million in the first six months of 2015, due to lower mortality results, partially offset by a better surrender margin. The better surrender results in the technical margin were more than offset by higher DAC amortisation on surrenders.
Administrative expenses were EUR 55 million in the first six months of 2016, slightly lower compared with the same period of 2015, on a constant currency basis.
DAC amortisation and trail commissions were EUR 139 million in the first six months of 2016, up 14.7% excluding currency effects, due to higher premium income and higher DAC amortisation on surrenders.
The result before tax for the first six months of 2016 was EUR 85 million compared with EUR 93 million in the same period of 2015, down 13.8% at constant currencies.
In the first six months of 2016, new sales (APE) were EUR 303 million compared with EUR 300 million in the same period of 2015, down 5.7% at constant currencies.
The value of new business (VNB) was EUR 49 million for the first six months of 2016, broadly stable on the same period of 2015, as the impact of the decrease in interest rates was largely offset by higher sales of COLI protection products.

AuM includes the mortgage portfolio managed on behalf of NN Life and NN Non-life since 2Q14. The comparative figures have been restated accordingly.
Net operating ROE is calculated as the (annualised) net operating result of the segment, divided by (average) adjusted allocated equity. Adjusted allocated equity is an Alternative Performance Measure. It is derived from IFRS equity by excluding revaluation reserves and undated subordinated notes classified as equity.
Total Assets under Management (AuM) at Asset Management were EUR 197 billion at the end of the first six months of 2016, compared with EUR 187 billion at the end of 2015. The increase reflects positive market performance of EUR 13.3 billion as a result of lower interest rates increasing the value of fixed income assets, as well as net inflows in Proprietary assets of EUR 2.3 billion, partly offset by net outflows in Other Affiliated assets of EUR 4.3 billion and Third Party assets of EUR 1.3 billion.
In the first six months of 2016, the operating result of Asset Management was EUR 62 million, down 16.8% from the same period in 2015. Lower fee income was only partly offset by a decrease in administrative expenses.
Fees were EUR 224 million, down 11.8% compared with the first six months of 2015, reflecting the lower average AuM as well as a shift to lower margin AuM primarily due to a higher proportion of fixed income investments.
Administrative expenses were EUR 162 million, down from EUR 179 million in the first six months of 2015. The decrease mainly reflects lower staff-related expenses as well as lower volume driven fixed service fee expenses (with an offsetting impact in fees).
The result before tax in the first six months of 2016 was EUR 59 million, stable compared with the same period in 2015, as the lower operating result was offset by lower special items related to rebranding expenses.

End of period, in EUR billion.
In the first six months of 2016, the operating result of the segment Other improved to EUR -9 million from EUR -27 million in the same period of 2015 mainly reflecting a higher operating result at NN Bank and a lower holding expenses.
The holding result improved to EUR -52 million compared with EUR -56 million in the first six months of 2015, reflecting lower holding expenses, partly offset by lower investment income.
The operating result of the reinsurance business decreased to EUR 12 million.
The operating result of NN Bank improved to EUR 30 million from EUR 11 million in the first six months of 2015. The expansion of its mortgage and customer savings activities led to a higher interest result, partly offset by higher administrative expenses supporting the bank's growth.
The result before tax of the segment Other was EUR -17 million in the first six months of 2016, stable compared with the same period of 2015. The improved operating result in the first six months of 2016 was offset by lower non-operating items and higher special items reflecting restructuring expenses in the holding company.
Total administrative expenses were up EUR 2 million to EUR 115 million in the first six months of 2016 as the lower holding expenses were more than offset by higher expenses at NN Bank.

In the first six months of 2016, the result before tax of Japan Closed Block VA decreased to EUR -97 million from EUR 60 million in the same period of 2015. The first six months of 2016 included a hedge-related loss of EUR 103 million due to higher market volatility and a technical provision increase of EUR 16 million following the refinement of lapse assumptions on the portfolio, while the first six months of 2015 benefited from a EUR 12 million reserve release from higher lapse assumptions of out-of-the-money policies.
The operating result of Japan Closed Block VA was EUR 16 million compared with EUR 36 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding currency effects, the operating result decreased by 58.1%, mainly driven by lower fees and premium-based revenues.
Fees and premium-based revenues were EUR 29 million compared with EUR 52 million in the first six months of 2015. Excluding currency effects, fees and premium-based revenues decreased by 47.5% largely due to a lower account value, reflecting a decreasing number of policies.
Administrative expenses decreased to EUR 8 million from EUR 10 million in the first six months of 2015.
Market and other impacts were EUR -113 million compared with EUR 24 million in the first six months of 2015, reflecting a hedge-related loss of EUR 103 million due to the impact of higher global market volatility. The first six months of 2015 also included a EUR 12 million reserve release for higher lapse assumptions of out-of-the money policies.
The Net Amount at Risk in the Japan Closed Block VA increased to EUR 1,021 million from EUR 203 million at the end of 2015, primarily as a result of equity markets depreciation.
Total assets of NN Group increased by EUR 15.7 billion to EUR 177.9 billion at 30 June 2016, mainly driven by higher market values as longterm interest rates decreased and currency impacts.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 2.5 billion to EUR 9.9 billion. The increase reflects mainly an increase in cash collateral related to non-trading derivatives to EUR 3.5 billion in the first six months of 2016.
Investments for risk of policyholders decreased by EUR 3.5 billion to EUR 31.6 billion reflecting asset transfers from the separate account to the general account at Netherlands Life and the lower account value due to the portfolio run-off at Japan Closed Block VA and currency impacts. These changes are mirrored in the Provision for risk of policyholders on the liability side of the balance sheet.
Non-trading derivatives increased by EUR 2.6 billion to EUR 7.3 billion, reflecting positive revaluations on interest rate swaps as interest rates declined in the first six months of 2016 and currency impacts.
Debt securities increased by EUR 9.1 billion to EUR 76.7 billion mainly driven by EUR 6.9 billion higher market values as long-term interest rates decreased in the first six months of 2016 and currency impacts.
Loans increased by EUR 2.6 billion to EUR 33.6 billion reflecting an increase in the Dutch mortgages portfolio and deposits.
Assets and Liabilities held for sale reflect the balance sheet items of Mandema & Partners following the announced sale and the balance sheet items of NN Re (Ireland) Ltd. which expects to sign a portfolio transfer agreement for an investment contract and the related available-for-sale investments in the second half of 2016.
Shareholders' equity increased by EUR 4.8 billion to EUR 25.3 billion at 30 June 2016, reflecting a EUR 5.4 billion increase in the Available-forsale debt securities revaluation reserves, an EUR 1.4 billion increase in the cash flow hedge reserve and the net result for the first six months of 2016 of EUR 0.6 billion. This was partially offset by EUR 2.0 billion deferred interest crediting to life policyholders, EUR 0.3 billion impact from share buybacks and the payment of the 2015 final dividend of EUR 0.2 billion.
Other borrowed funds increased by EUR 1.4 billion following the completion of a residential mortgage backed securitisation transaction (RMBS) by NN Bank during the second quarter and higher collateral related to non-trading derivatives.
Life insurance provisions increased by EUR 8.5 billion, mainly due to the transfer of insurance liabilities from the separate account to the general account at Netherlands Life. Currency impacts and higher deferred profit sharing to policyholders following the increase of the debt securities revaluation reserve and cash flow hedge reserve also contributed to the increase. The provision for risk of policyholders decreased by EUR 3.5 billion reflecting the aforementioned asset transfers from the separate account to the general account, separate account exits and the portfolio run-off at Japan Closed Block VA.

In April 2016, the Dutch regulator DNB designated NN Group as a financial conglomerate (FICO) effective from 1 January 2016. As of that date NN Group N.V. qualifies as a mixed financial holding company and is subject to supplemental group supervision by DNB in accordance with the requirements of the EU's Financial Conglomerate Directive. As a result, DNB has required NN Group to deduct its participation in credit institutions from the NN Group Solvency II ratio. Accordingly, NN Group now excludes NN Bank from both Own funds and the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR). The NN Group Solvency II ratio of 239% at the end of 2015 would have been 245% on a comparable basis.
The NN Group Solvency II ratio increased to 252% at 30 June 2016 from 239% of 2015 due to a decrease of credit spreads on highly rated government bonds. This was partly offset by the EUR 250 million share buyback in January 2016, the deduction of the EUR 500 million share buyback programme, and the 2016 interim dividend of approximately EUR 195 million.

The cash capital position at the holding company increased to EUR 2,337 million at 30 June 2016 from EUR 1,953 million at the end of 2015. This increase reflects EUR 922 million of dividends received from all segments, partly offset by capital flows to shareholders of EUR 513 million representing the cash part of the 2015 final dividend (EUR 185 million), the amount of the EUR 250 million share buyback in January 2016 and the amount of shares repurchased in the second quarter of 2016 (EUR 78 million).

The financial leverage ratio of NN Group was stable at 21.7% at the end of the second quarter of 2016. The capital base for financial leverage was stable. The positive net result for the first six months of 2016 of EUR 605 million and positive currency impacts were offset by negative equity revaluations, the cash part of the 2015 final dividend (EUR 185 million), the share buyback in January 2016 of EUR 250 million and the amount of shares repurchased (EUR 78 million).
The fixed-cost coverage ratio decreased to 12.1x at 30 June 2016 (on a last 12-months basis) from 13.1x at the end of 2015 due to lower earnings.
NN Group will pay a 2016 interim dividend of EUR 0.60 per ordinary share, or approximately EUR 195 million in total, calculated as 40% of the 2015 full year dividend per ordinary share. The 2016 interim dividend will be paid either in cash, after deduction of withholding tax if applicable, or ordinary shares from the share premium reserve at the election of the shareholder. To neutralise the dilutive effect of the stock dividend, NN Group will repurchase ordinary shares for an amount equivalent to the stock dividend. The NN Group ordinary shares will be quoted ex-dividend on 22 August 2016. The record date for the dividend will be 23 August 2016. The election period will run from 22 August up to and including 5 September 2016. The stock fraction for the stock dividend will be based on the volume weighted average price of NN Group ordinary shares on Euronext Amsterdam for the five trading days from 30 August through 5 September 2016. The dividend will be payable on 9 September 2016.
On 5 January 2016, ING Group announced the sale of 33 million shares of NN Group at a price of EUR 31.00 per share which settled on 8 January 2016. As part of this transaction, NN Group repurchased approximately 8 million shares from ING Group for an aggregate amount of EUR 250 million. The transaction further reduced ING Group's stake in NN Group to 16.2% of outstanding shares (net of treasury shares). NN Group funded the share repurchase from the cash capital position at the holding company.
In February 2016, ING Group exchanged the third and final tranche of EUR 337.5 million mandatory exchangeable subordinated notes into 6.9 million ordinary shares in NN Group and cash. The exchange was part of the anchor investment in NN Group by three Asian institutional investors - RRJ Capital, Temasek and SeaTown - as announced on 30 April 2014. The transaction reduced ING's remaining stake in NN Group from 16.2% to 14.1% of outstanding shares (net of treasury shares).
On 14 April 2016, ING Group announced the sale of 45.7 million shares of NN Group at a price of EUR 30.15 per share which settled on 19 April 2016. The transaction completed ING's divestment of NN Group. ING Group will continue to hold warrants that are exercisable for approximately 35 million ordinary shares of NN Group as specified in the warrant agreement dated 10 June 2014.
On 26 May 2016, NN Group announced an open market share buyback programme for an amount up to EUR 500 million over a period of 12 months commencing 1 June 2016.
In addition to this share buyback programme, NN Group intends to neutralise the dilutive effect of stock dividends. Following payment of the 2015 final dividend on 28 June 2016, NN Group will repurchase ordinary shares for an amount of EUR 156 million, equivalent to the value of the stock dividend. With respect to the 2016 interim dividend, NN Group will also repurchase ordinary shares for an amount equivalent to the value of the stock dividend which is payable on 9 September 2016.
These share buybacks will be executed under the programme by financial intermediaries by 31 May 2017. Shares for an amount of EUR 78 million were repurchased in the second quarter of 2016.
The share buyback programme is being executed within the limitations of the existing authority granted by the AGM on 2 June 2016 and is being performed in compliance with the safe harbour provisions for share buybacks. The shares will be repurchased at a price that does not exceed the last independent trade or the highest current independent bid on Euronext Amsterdam. NN Group intends to cancel all of the shares acquired under the programme.
NN Group reports on the progress of the share buyback programme on its corporate website on a weekly basis (www.nngroup.com/Investors.htm). The execution of the share buyback programme is subject to NN Group maintaining a robust capital position and overall financial flexibility. NN Group will continue to explore options for deploying excess capital for value creating corporate opportunities, in line with its dividend policy.
On 30 June 2016, 7,808,135 NN Group treasury shares were cancelled, which were acquired as part of the sale of NN Group shares by ING Group in January 2016.
On 3 June 2016, Standard & Poor's affirmed NN Group's A- credit rating with a stable outlook.
On 11 April 2016, Fitch Ratings assigned NN Group's core life insurance subsidiary NN Life, an Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) rating of 'A+'. Fitch also assigned NN Group a Long-term Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of 'A' and ratings on the Subordinated debt at 'BBB'. The outlooks on NN Group's Long-term IDRs and IFS ratings are stable. The Baa2 rating by Moody's is on an unsolicited basis as from 18 May 2016.

Assets and liabilities are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This relates to businesses that are available for immediate sale in their present condition, for which management is committed to a sale and for which a sale is highly probable, i.e. expected to occur within one year. As at 30 June 2016 assets and liabilities held for sale relate to a portfolio of NN Re (Ireland) Ltd. and to Mandema & Partners. Classification as held for sale does not impact the comparative figures in the balance sheet. As both NN Re (Ireland) Ltd. and Mandema & Partners do not qualify as discontinued operations, there is no impact on the presentation of the profit and loss account.
In the second half of 2016, NN Re (Ireland) Ltd. expects to sign a portfolio transfer agreement for an investment contract and the related available-for-sale investments. The related assets and liabilities are presented as held for sale at 30 June 2016. As the investment contract and related investments are the only activity of NN Re (Ireland) Ltd., it intends to repatriate capital to NN Group after completion of the transfer. These transactions are expected to result in a net loss, which is expected to be immaterial and to be recognised in the second half of 2016. NN Re (Ireland) Ltd. is presented in the segment 'Other'.
For the agreed sale of Mandema & Partners reference is made to Note 18 'Companies and businesses acquired and divested.' Mandema & Partners is presented in the segment 'Netherlands Non-life'.
Assets held for sale relate mainly to Available for sale investments. Liabilities held for sale relate mainly to Insurance and investment contracts.

On 2 June 2016, the General Meeting of Shareholders adopted the proposed 2015 final dividend of EUR 1.05 per ordinary share, which represents a total amount of EUR 341 million. This dividend was paid on 28 June 2016 either in cash or in ordinary shares at the election of the shareholder. As a result, an amount of EUR 185 million was distributed out of Other reserves (cash dividend) and 6,020,620 ordinary shares, with a par value of EUR 0.12 per share, were issued (EUR 156 million stock dividend). On 7 September 2015, an interim dividend of EUR 0.46 per ordinary share was paid, resulting in a total dividend for 2015 of EUR 1.51 per ordinary share.
NN Group will pay a 2016 interim dividend of EUR 0.60 per ordinary share, or approximately EUR 195 million in total. The 2016 interim dividend will be paid either in cash or ordinary shares at the election of the shareholder. To neutralise the dilutive effect of the stock dividend, NN Group will repurchase ordinary shares for an amount equivalent to the stock dividend.
On 8 January 2016, NN Group repurchased 8,064,516 ordinary shares in NN Group ('Treasury shares') from ING Groep N.V. at a price of EUR 31.00 per share for an aggregate amount of EUR 250 million.
On 1 June 2016, NN Group commenced an open market share buyback programme for an amount of up to EUR 500 million. These shares are to be repurchased over a 12-month period. The share buyback has been deducted in full from Solvency II Own Funds in the second quarter of 2016 and is deducted from IFRS shareholders' equity when actual buyback transactions occur.
In order to neutralise the dilutive effect of the final 2015 stock dividend on earnings per ordinary share, NN Group repurchases ordinary shares for a total amount of EUR 156 million, equivalent to the value of the stock dividend. This share buyback is executed in conjunction with the open market share buyback programme.
During the second quarter of2016, 2,956,000 ordinary shares for a total amount of EUR 78 million have been repurchased.
The repurchased shares are held by NN Group and the amount has been deducted from Other reserves ('Purchase/sale of treasury shares'). On 30 June 2016, NN Group cancelled 7,808,135 treasury shares. As at 30 June 2016, 3,690,859 treasury shares were held by NN Group.
The undated subordinated notes have an optional annual coupon payment on 15 July. Following the payment of dividend and repurchase of ordinary shares in the first six months of 2016, the payment of the annual coupon on 15 July 2016 became mandatory and is recognised as a liability at 30 June 2016. As a result, EUR 34 million (net of tax) was deducted from equity.

Earnings per ordinary share shows earnings per share amounts for profit or loss attributable to shareholders of the parent. Earnings per ordinary share is calculated on the basis of the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. In calculating the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding, own shares held by group companies are deducted from the total number of ordinary shares in issue.

The reporting segments for NN Group, based on the internal reporting structure, are as follows:
The Executive Board and the Management Board set the performance targets and approve and monitor the budgets prepared by the reporting segments. The segments formulate strategic, commercial and financial policies in conformity with the strategy and performance targets set by the Executive Board and the Management Board.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 'Accounting policies'. Transfer prices for inter-segment transactions are set at arm's length. Corporate expenses are allocated to segments based on time spent by head office personnel, the relative number of staff, or on the basis of income and/or assets of the segment. Intercompany loans that qualify as equity instruments under IFRS-EU are presented in the segment reporting as debt; related coupon payments are presented as income and expenses in the respective segments.
Operating result (before tax) is used by NN Group to evaluate the financial performance of its segments. Each segment's operating result is calculated by adjusting the reported result before tax for the following items:
The operating result for the life insurance business is analysed through a margin analysis, which includes the investment margin, fees and premium-based revenues and the technical margin. Disclosures on comparative years also reflect the impact of current year's divestments. Operating result as presented below is an Alternative Performance Measure (non-GAAP financial measure) and is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS-EU. Because it is not determined in accordance with IFRS-EU, operating result as presented by NN Group may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of performance of other companies.

The estimated fair value represents the price at which an orderly transaction to sell the financial asset or to transfer the financial liability would take place between market participants at the balance sheet date ('exit price'). The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is based on unadjusted quoted market prices, where available. Such quoted market prices are primarily obtained from exchange prices for listed instruments. Where an exchange price is not available market prices are obtained from independent market vendors, brokers or market makers. Because substantial trading markets do not exist for all financial instruments, various techniques have been developed to estimate the approximate fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not actively traded. The fair value presented may not be indicative of the net realisable value. In addition, the calculation of the estimated fair value is based on market conditions at a specific point in time and may not be indicative of the future fair value.
Further information on the methods and assumptions that were used by NN Group to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments and the sensitivities for changes in these assumptions is disclosed in Note 35 'Fair value of financial assets and liabilities' of the 2015 NN Group Consolidated annual accounts.
The fair value of the financial instruments carried at fair value was determined as follows:

This category includes financial instruments whose fair value is determined directly by reference to published quotes in an active market that NN Group can access. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions with sufficient frequency and volume to provide reliable pricing information on an ongoing basis.
This category includes financial instruments whose fair value is determined using a valuation technique (e.g. a model), where inputs in the model are taken from an active market or are observable. If certain inputs in the model are unobservable the instrument is still classified in this category, provided that the impact of those unobservable inputs elements on the overall valuation is insignificant. Included in this category are items whose value is derived from quoted prices of similar instruments, but for which the prices are modified based on other market observable external data and items whose value is derived from quoted prices but for which there was insufficient evidence of an active market.
This category includes financial instruments whose fair value is determined using a valuation technique (e.g. a model) for which more than an insignificant part of the inputs in terms of the overall valuation are not market observable. This category also includes financial assets and liabilities whose fair value is determined by reference to price quotes but for which the market is considered inactive. An instrument is classified in its entirety as Level 3 if a significant portion of the instrument's fair value is driven by unobservable inputs. Unobservable in this context means that there is little or no current market data available from which the price at which an orderly transaction would likely occur can be derived.

Transfers into Level 3
The transfers into Level 3 mainly reflect an improved fair value measurement of certain investments for risk of policyholders, resulting in classification as Level 3 instead of Level 2. The (changes in) fair value of these investments have no net impact on profit or loss or shareholders' equity as these are offset by (changes in) liabilities for Insurance and investment contracts.

In May 2016 NN Group announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Dom Kredytowy Notus S.A. ('Notus'). Notus is a leading financial broker in Poland, offering mortgage loans, insurance, investment and savings products. The transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the capital position and operating result of NN Group. It is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the second half of 2016.
In July 2016, NN Group announced that it had reached an agreement to sell its 100% subsidiary, Mandema & Partners, to Van Lanschot Chabot. The transaction is not expected to have a significant impact on the capital position and operating result of NN Group. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2016.
During the first six months of 2015, NN Group reached an agreement with ING Bank Slaski to acquire the remaining 20% stake in the Polish pension fund, NN Powszechne Towarzystwo Emerytalne S.A. (NN PTE) in which NN Group held 80% of the shares. In July 2015 NN Group completed the acquisition of the remaining stake for a consideration of PLN 128 million (approximately EUR 31 million). The consideration reflects a purchase price of PLN 210 million adjusted by a PLN 82 million dividend paid by NN PTE to ING Bank Slaski prior to completion. NN PTE manages the second pillar open-ended pension fund and the open-ended third-pillar voluntary pension fund.
In December 2015, NN Group completed the sale of its wholly owned private equity management company, Parcom Capital Management. The divestment result on the sale of Parcom Capital Management is included in 'Results on disposals of group companies'. As a consequence of the sale of the asset management company, NN Group no longer has control over its investments in private equity funds, which are managed by Parcom Capital Management. These private equity funds were previously consolidated and the underlying investments were included in the Consolidated balance sheet in Trading assets and Available-for-sale investments. As a consequence of the divestment of Parcom Capital Management, these underlying investments were derecognised and the investments in the private equity funds are now included in the balance sheet under Associates and Joint ventures.
Nationale-Nederlanden continues to reach out to customers to encourage them to carefully assess their unit-linked products in order to find an appropriate solution on an individual basis, where needed. On 29 March 2016 KiFiD issued its final ruling (in first instance) related to a unit-linked product in an individual case in which the complainant is assisted by a consumer claims association. KiFiD concluded, among other things, that there is no contractual basis for charging initial costs and that an insurer is obliged to warn against the leverage and capital consumption effect. Nationale-Nederlanden believes that the KiFiD has incorrectly applied the ruling of the European Court of Justice of 29 April 2015 and is appealing the KiFiD ruling with the Appeals Committee of the KiFiD. Dutch courts and KiFiD will continue to provide an interpretation of the ruling of the European Court of Justice with respect to information provision requirements related to unitlinked products in proceedings against Nationale-Nederlanden and other Dutch insurance companies. The KiFiD ruling does not change earlier statements and conclusions disclosed by NN Group in relation to unit-linked products.
Arbitration proceedings that were initiated in 2014 by the purchaser of NN Group's former insurance subsidiary in South Korea alleging that the financial condition of this subsidiary was not accurately depicted, are ongoing. At this stage the financial impact of these proceedings, if any, remains uncertain.

On 19 April, the Dutch regulator DNB designated NN Group as a financial conglomerate (FICO) effective from 1 January 2016. As of that date NN Group N.V. qualifies as a mixed financial holding company and is subject to supplemental group supervision by DNB in accordance with the requirements of the EU's Financial Conglomerate Directive. As a result, DNB has required NN Group to deduct its participation in credit institutions from the NN Group Solvency II ratio. Accordingly, NN Group now excludes NN Bank from both Own funds and the Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR). The NN Group Solvency II ratio of 239% at the end of the fourth quarter of 2015 would have been 245% on a comparable basis.
The NN Group Solvency II ratio increased to 252% at 30 June 2016 from 239% of 2015 due to a decrease of credit spreads on highly rated government bonds. This was partly offset by the EUR 250 million share buyback in January 2016, the deduction of the EUR 500 million share buyback programme, and the 2016 interim dividend of approximately EUR 195 million.

To: the Shareholders and Supervisory Board of NN Group N.V.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim accounts for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 of NN Group N.V., The Hague, as included on page 19 to 42 of this report. These condensed consolidated interim accounts comprise the condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2016 and the condensed consolidated profit and loss account, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity and the notes for the six-month period then ended. Management of the Company is responsible for the preparation and presentation of the condensed consolidated interim accounts in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these condensed consolidated interim accounts based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with Dutch law including standard 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim accounts as at and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2016 are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting' as adopted by the European Union.
