Notes:
-For details on the calculation of ratios and the net investment income, see the glossary appended to this report. -The net investment income of the investment portfolio does not include the net investment income from assets pertaining to policyholders who bear the investment risk since such assets do not affect the income statement. The mathematical provision of policyholders who bear the investment risk moves in line with this line item.
-In the period 1–3/2017, reinsurance segment exchange differences had a positive impact of € 0.6 million on the investment result and a negative impact of € 1.0 million on the underwriting result, which demonstrates that the Company is following a strict asset-liability currency management policy. The total impact in the period 1–3/2017 was a negative one of € 0.4 million, while in the period 1–3/2016, the impact on the result was a positive one of € 0.3 million.
The table below compares actual figures against figures planned for the full year 2017:
| (€ million) | 1–3/2017 | 2017 Plan | As % of plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated gross premiums written | 159.9 | 494.3 | 32.3 % |
| Net profit/loss for the period | 9.2 | 32.6 | 28.2 % |
| Annualised return on equity | 11.6 % | 10.3 % | |
| Net combined ratio, excluding the effect of exchange differences | 94.5 % | 94.6 % | |
| Net incurred loss ratio, excluding the effect of exchange differences |
60.7 % | 59.4 % | |
| Net expense ratio, excluding the effect of exchange differences | 31.0 % | 32.6 % | |
| Annualised return on the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences |
2.3 % | 1.8 % |
*The net combined and the net incurred loss ratios have been calculated for the reinsurance and non-life operating segments.
Since exchange differences were not considered in the plan, the table shows ratios excluding the effect of exchange differences.
The annualised return on equity was slightly higher than planned for the full year 2017 as a result of a better net combined ratio and better return on the investment portfolio in the first quarter 2017 compared to the annual 2017 plan.

There was one general meeting of shareholders held in the three months to 31 March 2017.
After the resignation of Branko Tomažič from the position of chair and member of the supervisory board in October 2016, the supervisory board of Sava Re, d.d. temporarily operated with five members. The term of office of the remaining three members who are shareholder representatives is due to expire in July 2017. Due to the complexity of the business operations of Sava Re, d.d. and the Sava Re Group, the Company wanted to ensure that the supervisory board operates with all six members as soon as possible, thereby ensuring compliance with the Company's articles of association as regards the number of supervisory board members. Considering the complexity and amount of time that the procedure would require, including the fit and proper assessment of both the supervisory board member candidates and the supervisory board as a whole, it was assessed that this procedure should result in obtaining a complete set of four members of the supervisory board to represent shareholder interests.
The election of four new members of the supervisory board was carried out in the 32nd session of the general meeting, held on 7 March 2017 at the Horus Hall of the Austria Trend Hotel Ljubljana. The general meeting elected, for a four-year term, the following members of the supervisory board: Davor Ivan Gjivoje, starting on 7 March 2017, and Mateja Lovšin Herič, Keith William Morris and Andrej Kren, starting on 16 July 2017.
As at 31 March 2017, the insurance part of the Sava Re Group comprised–in addition to the controlling company Sava Re–seven insurers based in Slovenia and other Western Balkan countries, and one pension company based in Slovenia.
Composition of the Sava Re Group as at 31 March 2017

In the period 1–3/2017, exchange differences had a negative impact on the underwriting result of reinsurance business of € 1.0 million (1–3/2016: € 1.7 million) and a positive impact of € 0.6 million on the investment result (1–3/2016: negative impact of € 1.3 million). The total negative impact of exchange differences on the net profit for the period was € 0.4 million (1–3/2016: positive impact of € 0.3 million). The Company follows a policy of asset and liability currency matching. As both effects on profit mainly relate to international reinsurance operations, detailed figures are presented in the section covering reinsurance business later in this report.

In the period 1–3/2017, the Group's net investment income from its investment portfolio totalled € 6.3 million, up € 2.2 million year on year. The improved net investment income was mainly the result of higher net exchange differences and higher realised capital gains (up € 0.7 million).
The Group's net investment income relating to its investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences, totalled € 5.8 million, up € 0.4 million year on year.

In the period 1–3/2017, investment income totalled € 8.1 million, up € 0.3 million year on year; excluding exchange differences, investment income increased by € 0.1 million. The largest part of income was interest income, which amounted to € 4.9 million in the period 1–3/2017, down € 0.5 million year on year. Compared to the same period last year, realised capital gains rose by € 0.7 million.
In the period 1–3/2017, expenses relating to the investment portfolio increased by € 1.9 million year on year, but decreased by € 0.3 million on elimination of exchange differences. In addition to exchange losses, the largest contributor to expenses was interest on loans. Interest on loans increased by € 0.2 million year on year. The increased interest expense is entirely due to the one-off impact of the prepayment of part of the Company's subordinated debt, accounted for using the effective interest rate method.

Composition of consolidated gross profit
*The "other" category includes the gross result of the "other" segment.
In 1–3/2017, exchange differences had a significant impact on the composition of the result, so below we set out results, excluding the effect of exchange differences. The impact of exchange differences on the result by operating segment was as follows: negative effect on the underwriting result of € 1.0 million (1–3/2016: € 1.7 million positive effect); positive effect on the investment result of € 0.6 million (1–3/2016: € 1.3 million negative effect). The total negative effect of exchange differences on the result of 1–3/2017 amounted to € 0.4 million (1–3/2016: € 0.3 million positive effect).

*The "other" category includes the gross result of the "other" segment.
The underwriting result in the period 1–3/2017 was better than last year mainly as a result of a stronger underwriting result in the Slovenian non-life insurance segment. The investment result, excluding the effect of exchange differences, remained at approximately the same level, while the result of the life segment improved, mainly due to the better results of Zavarovalnica Sava.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement by operating segment
Following is an overview of results by operating segment.
Business is presented by operating segments (non-life insurance, life insurance, reinsurance business and the "other" segment) and by geography (Slovenia and international). The "Slovenia" segment includes figures of the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava (pre-merger Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia) and Sava pokojninska (life segment), while the "international" segment covers the operations of the other subsidiaries, including the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava (premerger Velebit osiguranje and Velebit životno osiguranje). The reinsurance segment was not broken down geographically, as after the elimination of transactions with subsidiaries, the majority of the remaining transactions relate to Sava Re's business in global reinsurance markets.
In addition to said segment breakdown, the segment reporting information also reflects the effects of consolidation elimination and reallocation of certain income statement items:
In the statement of financial position, the following adjustments were made in addition to the eliminations made in the consolidation process:
Following is a brief commentary on the results of each operating segment.
Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 8.7 "Analysis of operating segments". The reinsurance segment reflects developments of the reinsurance portfolio written by Sava Re outside the Sava Re Group.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business
The performance of this operating segment is impacted by exchange differences, which is why the underwriting and investment results are not directly comparable. The impact of exchange differences is set out in section 2 under the heading "Consolidated gross profit" and refers to the reinsurance segment shown here.
The following graph shows the profit or loss, excluding the impact of exchange differences.
Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business, excluding the effect of exchange differences

The underwriting result, excluding exchange differences, was slightly stronger than in the same period of 2016 (combined ratio 1–3/2017: 94.5 %; 1–3/2016: 97.4 %). The 2016 underwriting result was lower mainly due to prudent reserving for certain large loss events abroad. In the period 1–
3/2017, the investment result (excluding the effect of exchange differences) remained approximately on the same level year on year.

| Net earned premiums | 16,233,050 | 20,464,416 | 79.3 |
Gross premiums written in this segment were slightly lower in 1–3/2017 than year on year. Premiums have been declining due to the more selective underwriting as a result of the soft market prevailing in global reinsurance markets.
The drop in net premiums earned was larger than the decline in gross premiums written. In the period 1–3/2017, the change in the net unearned premiums (an increase compared to the end of the previous year) was larger than in the previous year. This is due to the increase in the share of nonproportional reinsurance, the premiums of which are accounted at the time of writing the contract, which is why a high amount of unearned premiums is set aside in the first quarter.
In Slovenia, the Company transacts mostly intra-Group business; therefore, the amounts of all categories of the reinsurance segment (extra-Group business) are relatively small.

| Net claims incurred | 10,468,454 | 14,161,372 | 73.9 |
In the period 1–3/2017, the consolidated gross reinsurance claims paid were lower than the year-onyear figure, mainly due to premium decline in this segment as the bulk of the claims paid in the first quarter related to business written in the previous year. Consequently, the paid loss ratio improved in the period of 1–3/2017 year on year (1–3/2017: 40.1 %; 1–3/2016: 47.9 %).
The change in the net provision for outstanding claims (including the impact of exchange differences) in the period 1–3/2017 was smaller than the one year on year and in both cases relatively small compared to the level of claims provisions (below 2 %). The change in the net claims provision was also affected by exchange differences, which had a negative impact on the 1–3/2017 result (€ -0.8 million), whereas in 1–3/2016 the impact was a positive one (€ +1.5 million).
The net incurred loss ratio (including exchange differences) of the reinsurance segment deteriorated to 69.7 % in the period of 1–3/2017 (1–3/2016: 61.8 %). Excluding exchange differences, the ratio improved by only 5.3 percentage points.

| Net operating expenses | 3,874,085 | 5,977,821 | 64.8 |
In the period 1–3/2017, acquisition costs fell by 30.8 % (gross premiums written dropped by 1.0 %) due to a smaller volume of proportional business written, resulting in a smaller commission income. The ratio of acquisition costs as a percentage of premiums in 1–3/2017 increased by 5.5 percentage points year on year to 12.9 %.
In the period 1–3/2017, the increase in the level of deferred acquisition costs was slightly higher than last year, primarily due to a lower decline in gross premiums written, resulting in lower acquisition costs. The mechanisms are much the same as the effect of the movement in gross premiums written on the movement of unearned premiums.
Other operating expenses increased by 7.7 % mainly due to growth in personnel costs (recruitment at Sava Re and the impact of interim recruitment in the previous year) and amortisation costs because of the larger cost of software.

Given that the exchange differences mainly relate to Sava Re and their impact does not fully affect profit or loss, the graph above shows the net investment income of the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences.
In 1–3/2017 the net investment income totalled € 0.6 million, remaining at about the same level as year on year.

The figures provided for the period 1–3/2017 for Zavarovalnica Sava are the sums of the figures of the Group insurers that merged on 2 November 2016 into Zavarovalnica Sava (Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia and Velebit osiguranje, excluding intra-group transactions).
Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 8.7 "Analysis of operating segments".

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; non-life insurance business
The non-life insurance segment recorded a (€ 0.9 million) better consolidated net result in 1–3/2017 than in the same period last year. In this regard, the non-life segment of Slovenian insurance companies improved by € 1.5 million, while non-life operations abroad achieved a € 0.6 million lower result.
The underwriting result of the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava improved, reflecting both growth in net premiums earned and a drop in net claims incurred. The net earned premiums increased especially because of the rise in motor premiums as a result of a larger number of policies sold as well as broader coverages. Net claims incurred dropped despite the fact that gross claims paid increased owing to the payment of claims relating to a large hail loss that occurred in July and August 2016, as claims were settled from technical provisions. The underwriting result of the non-domestic non-life insurers deteriorated by € 0.7 million. The largest impact on the overall deterioration in the underwriting result of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers came from the weaker underwriting performance of the Kosovan non-life insurer.
The investment result of the Slovenian non-life insurer and the Group's non-life insurers abroad remains on the same level as in 2016.

Unconsolidated gross non-life premiums of Sava Re Group companies
In Slovenia Zavarovalnica Sava managed to grow motor and property gross premiums written. Motor premium growth was driven both by growth achieved with individuals, with increases in the number of policies and sums insured on casco policies, as well as in the commerical sector through new clients and partly increased coverages.
The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava posted the highest overall growth in the Group, 27.0 %, achieved through good positioning in Internet sales, improved premium collection and increased efficiency of the own sales network. The largest growth was recorded in motor liability business. The Kosovan non-life insurer achieved growth especially in health business, while the Montenegrin nonlife insurer posted premium growth in accident and fire and other damage to property business. The Serbian insurer also posted growth, mainly on account of property business, while the share of the motor liability premiums declined. The Macedonian insurer achieved premium growth as a result of new clients and increased sales in its subsidiary, the Sava Station vehicle inspection centre.

Gross claims paid for Slovenian business in the period 1–3/2017 were higher mainly due to the increase in gross claims paid of Zavarovalnica Sava relating to property business. Gross claims paid were larger than the year-on-year figure because of claim settlements relating to 2016 hail losses. In July and August 2016 (specifically, on 13 July, and 15 and 29 August), the north-eastern and central parts of Slovenia were hit by hail storms. In addition, the higher claims figure is a result of the increased number of motor policies sold.
Gross claims relating to business from abroad increased by 16.2 %, mainly due to the rise in claims of the Macedonian non-life insurer, where the chief reason is the settlement of two major claims for which provisions had been set aside in prior years; therefore, the profit was not affected. The Serbian non-life insurer posted increased claims as a result of its acquisition of the AS osiguranje portfolio (without any impact on profits, as the portfolio was acquired together with adequate claims provisions).
The decline in the net claims provisions for the Slovenian part relates to claims settlements for hail losses of 2016 for which adequate provisions had been set aside.

| Net operating expenses | 24,208,663 | 23,124,437 | 104.7 |
The consolidated acquisition costs dropped by 2.9 %, as a result of the reclassification of the costs of the Zavarovalnica Sava branch after alignment to the Slovenian part of the Group. Prior to the merger, the Croatian insurer booked the salaries of its agents under acquisition costs, after the merger they were accounted as personnel cost for the purpose of alignment with Zavarovalnica Sava.
The rise in other operating expenses is mainly due to the increase in the Serbian non-life insurer as a result of a larger workforce. Zavarovalnica Sava also posted increased other operating expenses. In the Slovenian part, this was because of the unification of collective agreements for employees (prior to the merger, Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia had different agreements), higher material costs due to one-off purchases and the different timing of use of marketing funds. The reason for the increase in the expenses of the Croatian branch office is mainly due to the above alignment and reclassification of personnel costs relating to agent salaries but also owing to increases in other service costs.
The consolidated gross expense ratio of non-life business declined in Zavarovalnica Sava by 1.9 percentage points year on year as a result of the growth in gross premiums written by 9.4 % against an increase of the sum of acquisition costs and other operating expenses by 1.2 %.
The consolidated gross expense ratio of non-Slovenian non-life insurers dropped by 0.9 percentage points as a result of a 10.1 % growth in gross premiums written against a 8.0 % increase in acquisition costs with other operating expenses.

In 1–3/2017, gross premiums written by the Group's life insurers grew both in Slovenia as well as abroad. After the DWS fund was liquidated by its fund manager, Zavarovalnica Sava made special offers to policyholders with savings to use them for taking out similar policies (funds to be transferred to a new internal fund). These funds increased premiums written by € 1.7 million. The premiums written figure in Slovenia was additionally affected by a large number of maturities of unitlinked policies in January 2017, but many policyholders opted for taking out new policies. The growth in gross premiums written in Slovenia was also driven by the strong increase in single premium annuities written by Sava pokojninska.
Gross premiums written also rose in other countries, notably in Croatia, where the Croatian part of the Zavarovalnica Sava posted a 15.9 % premium growth, against a 2.7 % market growth in Croatia. Sales in the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava were also boosted as after the merger, non-life agents were permitted to sell life policies.
Growth in gross premiums written was also posted by the other two life insurers, Illyria Life and Sava životno osiguranje (SRB). Both companies have been running activities for developing their own sales network through regular training of sales personnel while also seeking growth opportunities in other sales channels.

Gross claims paid in Slovenia grew by 115.9 %, as a result of a large number of unit-linked policies that matured in January 2017. The movement in claims needs to be looked at in conjunction with the change in technical provisions.
Gross claims also increased in other companies, except in the Serbian company, which recorded a lower number of claims year on year. In contrast, Illyria Life saw an increase in the number of claims. This was due to a larger number of surrenders, as a large number of policies became eligible for this option.
The year-on-year change in technical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk of the Slovenian insurers is affected by claims settlements as well as movements in mutual fund unit prices.

The increase in acquisition costs is primarily due to the increases in the acquisition costs of the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava due to its expanded operations and altered dynamics of costs included in products. This is also the reason for the increase in the change in deferred acquisition costs of 1–3/2017 year on year.
The rise in other operating expenses is mainly due to the increased expenses of Zavarovalnica Sava. In the Slovenian part this was due to higher personnel costs following the unification of collective agreements for employees (prior to the merger, Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia had different agreements), higher material costs due to one-off purchases and the different timing of use of marketing funds. There was also a rise in the other operating expenses of the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava, which however only relates to a reclassification of expenses for the purpose of alignment to the Slovenian part of the company. Prior to the merger, the Croatian insurer booked the salaries of its agents under acquisition costs. As of 2 November 2016, these were accounted for as personnel costs.
The consolidated gross expense ratio of the Slovenian companies increased by 2.0 percentage points, which is a result of increased expenses in both the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava pokojninska.
The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-Slovenian life insurers dropped by 2.3 percentage points due to the increase in gross premiums written.

Sava Re Group investment portfolio by class of asset
As at 31 March 2017, the Group's investment portfolio totalled € 1,058.4 million, a decrease of € 1.3 million from the year-end 2016 figure.
The decline in the investment portfolio is chiefly due to a partial prepayment of the subordinated debt of Sava Re (€ -12.2 million). Cash flow from core business1 , the change in accrued interest, net foreign exchange gains and realised gains were all positive, totalling € 13.7 million.
1 Cash flow from core business does not include cash flow from business where policholders bear the investment risk.



In terms of asset allocation compared to year-end 2016, there was a 2.8 percentage point increase in the share of cash and cash equivalents. The cash and cash equivalents item increased as Group companies were planning to pay out dividends and repay subordinated debt in the next quarter. The share of government bonds fell by 4 percentage points following the Company's tactical decision to take advantage of rising debt securities prices.
Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk is a major asset item. Zavarovalnica Sava is the only Group company to market life products where the investment risk is borne by policyholders (unit-linked products). Funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk are recorded as financial investments (mainly in mutual funds selected by policyholders) and cash. As at 31 March 2017, financial investments totalled € 218.7 million; while cash and cash stood at € 13.4 million. The decline in the funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk was a result of a negative cash flow from core business (€ -9.6 million), while the change in mutual fund prices of the funds selected by policyholders was a positive one (€ +5.2 million).
Compared to year-end 2016, receivables increased by 28.8 % or € 36.7 million (first quarter 2016: 28.5 % or € 37.2 million). Receivables typically show a significant increase in the first quarter.
This increase was a result of both an increase in receivables arising out of primary insurance business as well as an increase in receivables arising out of reinsurance and coinsurance business. Receivables arising out of primary insurance business increased by € 22.8 million due to the annual renewal of insurance contracts with legal entities (1–3/2016: increase of € 19.2 million). Receivables from reinsurance and coinsurance business rose by € 12.0 million as a result of the annual renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business (1–3/2016: increase of € 16.2 million).
The investment contract assets item includes liability fund assets relating to the life cycle funds MOJI skladi življenjskega cikla managed by the Sava pokojninska pension company for the benefit of policyholders. As of 1 January 2016, the company started managing a group of long-term business funds MOJI skladi življenjskega cikla, consisting of three long-term business funds: MOJ dinamični sklad (MDS) and MOJ uravnoteženi sklad (MUS), where policyholders bear the entire investment risk, and MOJ zajamčeni sklad (MZS) where policyholders bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed funds.
As at 31 March 2017, investment contract assets totalled € 122.5 million, up 0.9 % compared to 31 December 2016. The increase in assets under financial investments was mainly due to new net premiums written (€ 0.1 million; in the period 1–3/2017 there were inflows of € 3.0 million and outflows including expenses of € 2.9 million) and a positive change in fair value reserve (€ 1.5 million).
Like for the previous category, the movement in investment contract liabilities depends on new premium contributions, payouts and changes in fund unit prices.
As at 31 March 2017, cash assets totalled € 50.8 million, up 29.3 % compared to year-end 2016. The level of cash and cash equivalents is high due to the planned payout of dividends, repayment of subordinated liabilities and tactical decisions relating to the management of the portfolio of financial investments.
As at 31 March 2017, cash assets of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled € 13.4 million, a 1.0 million increase over 31 December 2016.

Movements in consolidated gross technical provisions
| (€) | Sava Re Group | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 31/03/2017 | 31/12/2016 | Index | |
| Gross unearned premiums | 199,448,962 | 157,678,496 | 126.5 |
| Gross mathematical provisions | 272,875,898 | 269,762,815 | 101.2 |

| Gross technical provisions | 953,109,830 | 911,221,323 | 104.6 |
The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 8.2 % or € 12.5 million compared to year-end 2016. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as a result of the dynamics of writing reinsurance business (up € 13.2 million), while provisions for outstanding claims dropped by 0.9 million.
The gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life insurance segment recorded an increase of 5.7 % or € 26.9 million compared to year-end 2016. Of these, € 28.5 million related to the increase in unearned premiums and € 3.4 million to the provision for claims outstanding.
The gross mathematical provisions for traditional policies of the life segment increased by 1.2 % (or € 3.1 million) compared to year-end 2016, as a result of aging and growth of the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including pension annuity business (during the distribution phase).
Equity increased by 2.4 % or € 7.1 million compared to year-end 2016.
A positive impact on the equity figure came mainly from the net profit for the period 1–3/2017 in the amount of € 9.2 million. Equity decreased because of a lower level of the fair value reserve, a decline by € 2.2 million compared to 31 December 2016.
Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 2.7 % or € 6.1 million compared with the end of 2016, mainly due to maturities and surrenders.
The investment contract liabilities of Sava pokojninska totalled € 122.4 million as at 31 March 2017, up 1.0 % or € 1.2 million from year-end 2016. They move in line with investment contract assets.
Subordinated liabilities decreased by € 11.8 million, as a result of the partial repayment of the subordinated debt by the parent Sava Re.
Liabilities from operating activities increased by 24.7 %, or € 12.0 million, year on year (1–3/2016: increase € 14.5 million). The large increase in this item is partly due to an increase in liabilities arising out of reinsurance operations following the annual renewal of contracts with cedants and partly due to the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business.
As at 31 March 2017 the Sava Re Group had € 304.2 million of equity capital and € 11.8 million of subordinated liabilities. As at 31 March 2017 debt capital accounted for 3.8 % of equity (decrease as a result of prepayment of subordinated debt). Subordinated liabilities relate to the subordinated debt of Sava Re taken out to expand to the Western Balkans.
Net cash used in operating activities of the Sava Re Group in the period 1–3/2017 totalled € 2.2 million (1–3/2016: net cash from activities of € 10.9 million), reflecting negative cash flow from core business. This is because Zavarovalnica Sava made considerable payments for matured life polices in the first quarter of 2017.
Net disbursements used in financing activities of the Sava Re Group in the period 1–3/2017 totalled € 12.6 million (1–3/2016: € 1.4 million). In the period 1–3/2017 net disbursements used in financing activities related primarily to the partial repayment of the subordinated debt (€ 12.6 million).
The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in 1–3/2017 was € 7.8 million lower than the year-onyear figure.

The table above shows the number of employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. The number of employees in the Group is subject to fluctuations mainly due to fluctuation in the agency network.
2 Credit rating agency Standard & Poor's uses the following scale for assessing financial strength: AAA (extremely strong), AA (very strong), A (strong), BBB (adequate), BB (less vulnerable), B (more vulnerable), CCC (currently vulnerable), CC (highly vulnerable), R (under regulatory supervision), SD (selectively defaulted), D (defaulted), NR (not rated). Plus (+) or minus (-) following the credit rating from AA to CCC indicates the relative ranking within the major credit categories.
A.M. Best uses for the following categories to assess financial strength: A++, A+ (superior), A, A- (excellent), B++, B+ (Good), B, B- (fair), C++, C+ (marginal), C, C- (weak), D (poor), E (under regulatory supervision), F (in liquidation), S (suspended).
The risks that the Group companies are exposed to are: insolvency risk, underwriting risk, risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risk associated with investment contracts, financial risk, operational risk and strategic risk.
The Sava Re Group has calculated the opening balance of the Group's capital requirements as at 1 January 2016 in accordance with Solvency II regulations. The Group held eligible own funds of € 403 million, of which most were tier 1 funds. The valuation of both assets and liabilities for determining eligible own funds was carried out in accordance with economic principles. The solvency capital requirement of the Group was € 200 million. The solvency ratio as at 1 January 2016 stood at 201 %, which indicates that the capital position of the Sava Re Group is good.
The Group's eligible own funds as at 31 December 20163 increased slightly compared to 1 January 2016 to € 416.2 million. Eligible own funds are already net of foreseeable dividends for 2016 in the amount proposed to the general meeting. In addition, the Group's eligible own funds as at 31 December 2016 were already net of the subordinated liabilities of € 23.6 million to be repaid in 2017 on the basis of the approval issued by the Insurance Supervision Agency. Thus all eligible own funds are classified as tier 1 funds.
The calculation of the solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2016 is still in progress; a minor increase is expected compared to 1 January 2016.
Based on these indicators, we estimate that the Group's capital adequacy was at a high level at 31 December 2016. Compliance with regulatory requirements is not at risk and the insolvency risk is very small.
All Group subsidiaries assume risks from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risks to Sava Re. Sava Re also assumes risks from other cedants; any excess is retroceded to other reinsurers.
In terms of underwriting process risk, losses may be incurred because Sava Re Group members incorrectly select or approve risks to be assumed for (re)insurance. This risk is mitigated by the Group mainly by complying with established and prescribed underwriting procedures; correctly determining the probable maximum loss (PML) for each risk; complying with underwriting guidelines and instructions; complying with the authorisation system; having in place an appropriate pricing and reinsurance policy; and through actuarial reviews. Underwriting risks in excess of the Group's capacity are also reduced through retrocession contracts.
The pricing risk is monitored by Sava Re Group members by conducting actuarial analyses of loss ratios and identifying their trends and by making appropriate corrections. When premium rates are determined for new products, the pricing risk can be monitored by prudently modelling loss experience, by comparing against others' experience, and by comparing the actual loss experience against estimates.
3 The most recent calculation was for the fourth quarter of 2016; however, it may not necessarily be equal to the final annual calculation. The calculation as at 31 March 2017 will be conducted for half-yearly reporting.
Claims risk is managed by appropriate (re)insurance conditions and pricing, adequate underwriting, controlling risk concentration, and especially adequate reinsurance programmes for subsidiaries and an adequate retrocession programme for Sava Re.
Sava Re Group members mitigate net retention risk by setting appropriate maximum net retention limits and by designing adequate reinsurance or retrocession programmes. In managing this risk, we take into account that maximum net aggregate losses in any one year are affected both by the maximum net claim arising from a single catastrophe event and by the frequency of such events.
Sava Re Group members manage reserving risk by comparing historic reserving figures with actual amounts, by applying the latest actuarial methods and by adopting a prudent approach in setting the levels of technical provisions.
Retrocession programme: the Group concludes reciprocal contracts with other reinsurers to further disperse underwriting risks.
In order to manage underwriting risk of life insurance business, the Group regularly monitors mortality and morbidity rates, termination of life policies, looking for specific trends. In addition, it regularly conducts adequacy testing of provisions. The Group manages underwriting risk in its life insurance business by employing underwriting procedures. Underwriting guidelines specify criteria and terms of risk acceptance.
With policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risks are substantially transferred to policyholders, as mathematical provisions move in line with assets. Within the set of products where policyholders bear the investment risk, the Sava Re Group also offers products that, to a certain extent, provide a guaranteed return. As at 31 March 2017 assets under such contracts totalled € 39.2 million (31/12/2016: € 36.3 million). With respect to such assets, there is a risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return.
Zavarovalnica Sava offers a guaranteed return for the investment fund ZM Zajamčeni and the ZM Hibrid product of the ZM Garant investment fund.
The guaranteed return of the ZM Zajamčeni investment fund is 2.75 %; for the new ZS Zajamčeni investment fund, 1.5 % (for policies taken out in 2017). Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities for profit attribution based on the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liabilities for exceeding the return). Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, guaranteed return and amounts for exceeding the guaranteed return (provisions for profit attribution). In years when the guaranteed return is exceeded, liabilities for exceeding the guaranteed return are increased; if, however, the realised return is below the guaranteed level, these liabilities are decreased. If these liabilities are negative, they need to be covered by the insurer from own funds (the balance of additional liabilities is set to zero in the accounting books), but in years when the guaranteed return is again reached, the insurer first has to cover the negative balance through profit attribution. The described control of guaranteed return is carried out at the level of individual policies.
The assets underlying the policies of the ZM Hibrid product are invested in two investment funds, DWS Garant 80 and ZM Garant. Each month on the cut-off date, the portion of assets in each fund are recalculated using a specific algorithm to ensures the achievement of the investment objective (selected by the policyholder) at the policy expiry. Fund managers maintain data for each
policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, current level of selected investment objective and balance of liabilities in both investment funds.
For the DWS Garant 80 investment fund, the guarantee that the unit value cannot fall by more than 20 % in one month is provided by DWS Investment GmbH. The guaranteed return for assets in the ZM Garant fund is 2.25 %. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net premiums paid and guaranteed return). There are no additional liabilities for profit attribution for this fund. Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid and guaranteed return. If the guaranteed return is not achieved, the insurer is to cover the loss from own funds.
In the last quarter of 2016, Zavarovalnica Sava set up the Varnost fund with an amount of € 60.0 million, for which it also provides a guarantee, and will, in line with its investment policy, invest in assets for which it will provide a 100 % guarantee. There is a risk of reinvesting these assets since interest rates on A-rated bonds are already negative for shorter maturities.
The Group classifies as investment contracts its supplementary voluntary pension insurance (SVPI) business of the pension insurer Sava pokojninska during the accumulation phase, as part of the company's SVPI liability fund. Investment contract liabilities are not included in the consolidated technical provisions item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of underwriting risk. Investment contract assets are not included in the consolidated financial investments item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of financial risks. In addition, there is a risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed returns associated with investment contract assets and liabilities.
SVPI policyholders (members) bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed return of the liability fund with guaranteed return. The two pension plans of Sava pokojninska provide a guaranteed return of 60 % of the average annual interest rate on government securities with a maturity of over one year. Investment contract liabilities include liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities to cover any deficit resulting from the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liability to exceed the return). For each member, the manager keeps a personal account with accumulating net contributions, guaranteed returns and assets to exceed the guaranteed return (provisions). In years when the return in excess of guaranteed return is realised, liabilities for return in excess of guaranteed return are increased; if, however, the realised return is below the guaranteed level, this part of liabilities decreases until the provision is fully exhausted. The described control of guaranteed return is carried out at the level of individual members' accounts. In the event that individual provisions of any account are not sufficient to cover the guaranteed return, the difference is covered from the pension company's own funds (there were no transfers in 2016).
The risk of failing to realise guaranteed returns for both contracts where the investment risk is born by the policyholder as well as for investment contract assets, is managed primarily through appropriate management of policyholder assets and liabilities, an appropriate investment strategy and provisioning.
In the course of their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks, such as market, liquidity and credit risk.

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk dropped by € 1.3 million compared to 31 December 2016. Details are provided in section 4.1.1 "Investment portfolio".
Interest rate risk is measured through a sensitivity analysis, by observing the change in the value of investments in bonds or the value of mathematical provisions in case of a change in interest rates. The analysed investments do not include held-to-maturity bonds as they are measured at amortised cost. Interest rate risk is managed through each company's efforts to optimise maturity matching of assets and liabilities so that any movement on the assets side offsets the movement on the liabilities side.
The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 31 March 2017 was € 828.6 million (31/12/2016: € 841.7 million). Of this, € 570.0 million (31/12/2016: € 582.7 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and € 258.6 million (31/12/2016: € 259.0 million) to assets of life insurers.
The sensitivity analysis for data as at 31 March 2017 showed that in the event of an upward shift of the yield curve by 50 basis points, the value of non-life insurance investments would drop by € 10.3 million or 1.8 % (31/12/2016: € 11.2 million or 1.9 %). The value of life insurance investments would decline by € 6.1 million or 2.4 % (31/12/2016: € 6.0 million or 2.3 %).
Interest rate risk slightly decreased compared to the prior year-end.
Equity risk is measured through a stress test assuming a 10-percent drop in equity prices. The calculation is based on the Company's equity holdings and equity mutual funds with a weight of 1 and mixed mutual funds with a weight of 0.5.
In case of a 10 % drop in the market prices of equity securities as at 31 March 2017, the value of investments would decrease by € 2.2 million (31/12/2016: € 2.3 million).
The risk did not change compared to year-end 2016.
Exposure to property risk is monitored through a stress test assuming a 25 % drop in prices. The basis for the calculation is the balance of investment property.
In case of a 25 % drop in all property prices, the value of investments as at 31 March 2017 would decrease by € 2.0 million (31/12/2016: € 2.0 million).
The risk did not change compared to year-end 2016.
The Sava Re Group manages currency risk by the efforts of each Group member to optimise assetliability currency matching. Sava Re is the Sava Re Group member with the largest exposure to currency risk due to its substantial international presence. Group companies whose local currency is the euro (companies based in Slovenia, Montenegro and Kosovo) have all liabilities and investments denominated in euro, meaning that these companies are not exposed to currency risk. Group companies whose local currency is not the euro (in Serbia and Macedonia, Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava) transact most business in their respective local currencies, while due to Group relations, they are to a minor extent subject to euro-related currency risk and translation risk in respect to equity.
Sava Re reduces its currency risk by matching assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Currencies are matched at the accounting currency level4 . If capital markets are not available in the accounting currency, currencies are matched at the transaction currency level5 .
The tables below show the currency matching of Sava Re, providing effects on the statement of financial position and income statement with foreign currency amounts translated into euros.

Accounting currency (mis)match as at 31 March 2017
4 The accounting currency is the local currency used in the accounting documentation. Reinsurance contracts may be accounted for in various accounting currencies. Generally, this is the currency of liabilities and receivables due from cedants, and hence also the reinsurer.
5 The transaction currency is the currency in which reinsurance contract transactions are processed.

Transaction currency (mis)match at 31 December 2016
Currency mismatches affect the income statement of Sava Re through accounting for exchange differences due to the impact of exchange rate changes on various statement of financial position items.
When assets and liabilities are 100 % matched in terms of foreign currencies, changes in foreign exchange rates have no impact on profit or loss. This is because any change in the value of assets denominated in a foreign currency as a result of a change in the exchange rate is offset by the change in the value of liabilities denominated in that foreign currency. As Sava Re's assets and liabilities are not 100 % currency matched, changes in exchange rates do affect profit or loss. The following table shows the impact of exchange differences.

The Group mitigates credit risk by investing in highly rated debt securities. As at 31 March 2017 a share of 83.2 % of the fixed income portfolio was rated "investment grade" (BBB– or better) (31/12/2016: 84.5 %), and 70.6 % of investments were rated A- or better (31/12/2016: 73.6 %).
The Sava Re Group's credit profile remained at about the same level as at year-end 2016, so we believe that the credit risk has not changed from the end of the prior year.
Credit risk due to issuer default includes concentration risk representing the risk of excessive concentration in a geographic area, economic sector or issuer.
The investment portfolio of the Sava Re Group is reasonably diversified in accordance with local law and Group internal rules in order to avoid large concentration in a certain type of investment, large concentration with any counterparty or economic sector or any other potential forms of concentration.
The Group's largest regional concentration is with EU countries (31/03/2017: 49.2 %; 31/12/2016: 51.7 %). In terms of industry, the Group is mainly exposed to governments (31/03/2017: 52.2 %; 31/12/2016: 56.2%), followed by the banking sector (31/03/2017: 22.6 %; 31/12/2016: 19.8 %). In the banking sector, covered bonds represent 48.5 % of the exposure. The Group holds covered bonds as a form of low-risk investment. Exposure to the 10 largest issuers accounted for 36.1 % of the investment portfolio (31/12/2016: 39.3%), with the largest exposure to the Republic of Slovenia (31/03/2017: 21.5 %; 31/12/2016: 22.2%), while exposure to any other single issuer does not exceed 2 % of the investment portfolio.
We estimate that credit risk did not change significantly compared to year-end 2016.
Liquidity risk is managed through prudent forecasting of future cash flow requirements.
In the event of large losses, so-called cash call provisions in reinsurance contracts are triggered, providing for immediate payments in the chain cedant – controlling company – retrocessionaire.
An additional liquidity cushion is provided by a credit line of € 10 million arranged by Sava Re with two commercial banks for the purpose of covering the liquidity needs of its Group members.
The Slovenia-based companies maintain a high proportion of their portfolio in highly liquid assets that are readily available to provide liquidity in the event of unexpected liquidity requirements (liquidity class L1A according to the ECB classification of assets eligible for collateral).
In the case of extraordinary liquidity needs of both Slovenia- and non-Slovenia based companies, the parent company would provide necessary funds from the parent's surplus funds or through loans.
In terms of liquidity of Group companies, the matching of the assets with the technical and mathematical provisions covered is very important. Each Group company is responsible for monitoring the matching of assets with liability funds for life and non-life business and for regularly reporting the status of both to the parent company and supervisory institutions.
We believe that liquidity risk is low and manageable.
For effective management of operational risk, Sava Re Group companies have established processes for identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing and reporting of such risks. Operational risk management processes have been set up also at the group level and are defined in the operational risk management policy.
Identification of operational risks is carried out regularly and in all organisational units of individual Group companies, especially upon the introduction of new products, new regulatory requirements, changes in operations and the transformation of other internal and external factors that could affect the amount of operational risk. Each risk is assigned a risk owner, who is responsible for regular monitoring and reporting. The risk management department (if set up in the Group company) regularly informs the risk management committee and the management board of any new risks.
The Group measures (assesses) operational risks primarily in terms of qualitative assessment of the probability of loss and financial impact of risks listed in the risk register, while the EU-based companies additionally use scenario analysis. Risk registers are maintained both at the company and Group level, where risks are assessed that either occur only at the Group level or are compounded at the level of the Group.
To manage operational risk, the Group companies have in place an effective internal control system and a business process management system.
Operational risk generally arises together with other risks (e.g. underwriting risk, market risk), having a tendency to compound them. Inconsistencies in the underwriting process, for example, may significantly increase underwriting risks.
The main measures of operational risk management on the individual company and the Group level include:
Operational risk categories are not among the most important risk types that the Group is exposed to. Nevertheless, some of them are quite important, such as:
Strategic risks are by their nature very diverse, they are difficult to quantify and are heavily dependent on diverse (external) factors.
The Sava Re Group and its Group members are also exposed to various internal and external strategic risks. The main strategic risks include as below:
Such risks are identified by individual organisational units of Group companies, management boards, risk management committees and risk management functions. Strategic risks are additionally identified by the Group's risk management committee.
The Group's strategic risks are assessed qualitatively in the risk register by assessing the frequency and potential financial impact of each event. In addition, key strategic risks are evaluated using qualitative analysis of various scenarios. Based on the combination of both analyses, the Group obtains an overview of the extent and change in the exposure to this type of risk.
The management of strategic risks is mainly through prevention. Individual strategic risks are mitigated through preventive activities. Strategic risks are also managed through on-going monitoring of the realisation of short- and long-term goals, by monitoring regulatory changes and market development.
The main risks that the Group is exposed to are underwriting risks followed by market risks. The realisation of underwriting risks is fortuitous and only for certain classes of insurance seasonal. A major increase in realised underwriting risks could be expected as a result of an increased frequency of storms with massive losses, while an increase in realised financial risks could be expected as a result of unfavourable trends in financial markets.
Although the merger process that combined four Sava Re Group companies was formally completed on 2 November 2016, there remain risks related to the merging of processes and the realisation of synergistic effects in Zavarovalnica Sava.

The selected notes to the financial statements for the three months to 31 March are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group in the first three months of 2017 as compared to both the first three months of 2016 and end-of-year 2016.
The financial statements with notes have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
Pursuant to IAS 34, notes are provided in relation to major business events that are required to understand the financial position and performance of the Group compared to the previous annual financial report prepared for 2016.
The financial statements with notes as at and for the three months to 31 March 2017 have not been audited.
The interim financial statements as at 31 March 2017 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2016.
The operations of the Group are not seasonal in nature. Pursuant to underwriting rules, Group insurance companies defer costs/expenses and income that, by their nature, may or is required to be deferred also at the year-end.
There were no items unusual because of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the period 1–3/2017.
Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2 % thereof as at 31 March 2017, which is € 6.1 million. Changes in the balance of statement of financial position items that did not exceed the set materiality threshold have not been presented in detail in interim financial statements. Disclosures and notes that the Group is required to present under IAS 34 or statutory requirements are given in the report, even though they may not exceed the materiality threshold.
The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.
The Group is predominately composed of financial companies (insurance companies) that invest their assets (those supporting liabilities as well as capital funds) in financial instruments. If the fair value of any financial instrument falls below its cost, the Group–pursuant to applicable accounting rules–examines whether the decrease is a significant and long-term one, in the event of which the financial instrument is impaired.
Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments have been formed based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks and the environment in which companies operate).
Subject to the nature, scope and organisation of work, CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) is a group composed of management board members, executive director of finance, executive director of accounting, executive director of corporate finance and controlling. CODM can monitor quarterly the results of operations by segments. These results include technical results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions. All figures reviewed by CODM are part of quarterly financial reports submitted to the management board.
Operating segments include reinsurance business, non-life insurance business, life insurance business, and the "other" segment. Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, a common performance indicator for all segments being net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs.

Technical provisions increased by € 41.9 million or 4.6 % compared to 31 December 2016. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (€ 41.8 million) as a result of seasonal movements: establishment of high unearned premiums for coverages for which the full-year premiums were booked at the beginning of the year. The gross provision for traditional life policies increased by 1.2 % (or € 3.1 million), as a result of aging and growth of the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including pension annuity business (during the distribution phase). The gross provision for outstanding claims decreased by 1.0 % (€ 4.9 million), mainly due to the settlement of losses relating to the previous years and due to releases of over-prudent provisions. Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 2.7 % or € 6.1 million, mainly due to maturities and surrenders. Other technical provisions (bonuses and discounts, unexpired risks) account for a smaller share and grew in total by € 1.9 million.
