1 Letter from the chairman of the management board1
1 GRI 102-14

Gross premiums written by the Sava Insurance Group in 2019 were up 9.6%. In Slovenia, Zavarovalnica Sava made an important contribution to high growth with a 12.2% increase in gross premiums written, 4.5 p. p. of which was an increase in gross premiums written for FoS business (freedom of services) performed by the non-life insurer in Slovenia in cooperation with various companies within the EU Member States. Gross life premiums written in Slovenia in 2019 remained at the same level as in 2018, which I see as a success, because we fully offset the shortfall in premiums related to maturity, deaths and surrenders with new insurance contracts.
Gross non-life premiums written outside Slovenia increased by 20.3%. This growth was driven chiefly by the inclusion of the Croatian non-life insurer ERGO Osiguranje into the Sava Insurance Group, but Serbian, Montenegrin, North Macedonian and Kosovar non-life insurers also achieved high growth in the range of 10%. Gross life premiums written outside Slovenia were up 9.1%.
Gross reinsurance premiums written rose by only 1% in 2019, which is due to restrictions on systematic growth and the rejection of less profitable contracts. In general, the reinsurance segment in 2019 experienced a larger volume of claims, primarily due to a greater number of catastrophic events, among them two typhoons in Japan, a hurricane in the Bahamas and some large fire losses.
The insurance segment saw an increased claims burden mainly in Croatia, where the loss ratio deteriorated due to increased claims in motor third-party liability and in motor casco business, as well as owing to the integration of the Croatian Ergo Osiguranje non-life insurer into the Group.
In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group increased its operating revenues by nearly 10%, which was driven both by higher gross premiums written by existing Group companies and the full-year operations of the companies Sava Penzisko Društvo from North Macedonia, the insurance business of Energoprojekt Garant from Serbia and the assistance business of TBS Team 24 from Slovenia, which all joined the Group in the course of 2018, and by companies acquired in 2019. At the end of last February Zavarovalnica Sava acquired a 100% stake in companies Ergo Osiguranje and Ergo Životno Osiguranje, and the investment fund management company Sava Infond joined the Group at the end of June 2019. These acquisitions allow the Sava Insurance Group to tap into the synergies resulting from the growth in the business volume, whereas the acquisition of Sava Infond will also facilitate the development of asset management and the beginning of centralisation of asset management activities in the Group.
The Group generated a net profit of EUR 50.2 million in 2019, up 16.7% year-onyear. The increase was driven by good results in the non-life insurance, life insurance and pensions operating segments, and was reduced by challenging claims experience in the Croatian non-life insurance segment and reinsurance business in international markets. Higher profitability was also driven also by the acquisition of Ergo Osiguranje and Ergo Životno Osiguranje in Croatia, which generated one-off income from the elimination of negative goodwill due to the difference between the cost of acquisition and fair value of acquired net assets.
Return on equity was high at 13.8% in 2019. A stable dividend policy and growth in the business volume and profitability allow us to maximise profits for shareholders. In 2019 we paid EUR 0.95 dividend per share, which translates into a dividend yield of 5.6%. The share's market price in 2019 was up 17.6%.
Return on equity of

In addition to effective organic growth the Sava Insurance Group will continue to grow also through acquisitions. Our growth will continue to focus on the Group's expansion in the industries and markets where we are already present, but we will look for growth opportunities also in the insurance industry in other EU countries. Last August we signed a purchase agreement for Diagnostični Center Bled d.o.o. (Bled Diagnostic Centre), through which we entered the private healthcare market, and in December we signed a contract to acquire the second largest life insurer in Slovenia, NLB Vita d.d., through which we will significantly increase our market share in life insurance.
Sustainable development, i.e. corporate social responsibility, is a growing and an increasingly important aspect of decision-making in all business segments. Aware of the environmental changes and their impact on our business, we will prudently diversify our investment portfolio, focusing in part also on real estate, infrastructure and sustainable investments. This underpins our sustainability efforts in the communities and environment of which we are a part.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our shareholders, customers, employees and other stakeholders for their support and the trust they placed in us. We will continue to invest our efforts in improving quality at all levels of our business while ensuring a high degree of financial strength and profitability of the Group. We are aware that it is only with cooperation of all our stakeholders that we can realise our vision, through which we are building a customer-centric, modern, digital, community-minded and sustainability-oriented insurance group.
Marko Jazbec Chairman of the Management Board of Sava Re d.d.
In order to support its development activities and the optimisation of its capital structure, in October 2019 Sava Re issued 20-year subordinated bonds with an issue size of EUR 75 million and a prepayment option after 10 years. The bonds were admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. Under Solvency II, subordinated bonds count towards the Company's additional capital. The fact that the Company obtained a favourable interest rate of 3.75% for this kind of a financial instrument demonstrates the Group's considerable financial strength and credit rating in the international markets, and at the same time indicates favourable borrowing conditions in these markets.
We are very proud that the Sava Insurance Group's credit rating "A" with a stable outlook was confirmed in 2019 by both credit rating agencies, which gives our operations additional credibility in international reinsurance markets.
I am happy to say that all our key 2017– 2019 strategy goals were achieved. We realised the planned synergies flowing from the merger of four insurers into Zavarovalnica Sava, and the umbrella insurance brand "Zavarovalnica Sava" also achieved very good brand awareness in the region. In the period, the Group grew both organically and through acquisitions. Through acquisitions, the Group expanded its presence in insurance, pensions, assistance and health insurance business and strengthened its asset management presence. A new strategy has been prepared for 2020–2022, which continues in the same primary direction.
In the next mid-term period we will embark on extensive projects aimed at customer-centric digital transformation of the Group. This will make it easier for our customers to buy and manage insurance policies and file claims, but special attention will be paid also to our online presence and mobile applications, as well as to the adjustment of communications and products to customer preferences. Also underway is the Group's IT transformation, which will facilitate the digital transformation and overhaul of its core IT systems, which in turn will allow us to develop a modern and flexible IT system that will give us a competitive advantage in the future.

• In August 2019, Sava Re as the buyer and Cinxro Holdings Ltd. as the seller signed a contract for the sale of 80% of the share capital of Diagnostični Center Bled d.o.o. (Bled Diagnostic Centre), representing 100% of the voting rights. In addition, Sava Re signed an agreement with Zavarovalnica Triglav d.d. on the manner of cooperation in the acquisition of a stake in the Diagnostic Centre Bled. In the agreement, the parties set out the key steps that will guide their joint control over the Diagnostic Centre Bled through their ZTSR d.o.o. joint venture. In March 2020, ZTSR d.o.o., the 50-50 joint venture of Sava Re in Zavarovalnica Triglav d.d., completed the acquisition of the health-care provider Diagnostic Centre Bled d.o.o. (Diagnostičnicenter Bled).

• In October 2019, Sava Re issued subordinated bonds with a scheduled maturity of 2039 and with an early recall option for 7 November 2029. The capital raised is Tier 2 eligible and Solvency II compliant. Sava Re intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes of the Sava Insurance Group and for the optimisation of its capital structure. The total issue size is EUR 75 million. The bond issue is intended for qualified investors and is listed on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange.
• At its meeting in December 2019, the supervisory board of Sava Re took note of the notice of Srečko Čebron on his early termination of his term of office as Sava Re management board member and accepted his proposal for a consensual termination of employment contract as management board member as of 31 May 2020. At the same meeting, the supervisory board unanimously supported the proposal of Chairman of the Management Board Marko Jazbec and appointed Peter Skvarča, who comes from within the ranks of the Sava Insurance Group, as a new member of the management board.
• In December 2019, Sava Re as the buyer, and NLB d.d. and KBC Insurance NV as the sellers signed a sale, purchase and transfer agreement regarding 100% of the share capital in NLB Vita d.d. The acquisition of NLB Vita represents an important step for the Sava Insurance Group in the consolidation of its position in Slovenia's life insurance market. The bancassurance partnership between NLB Vita and NLB will continue to develop, as the bank remains the primary sales channel. The strengthening of partnerships with banks and the development of the bancassurance sales channel is an important strategic objective for the Sava Insurance Group. The transaction's completion depends on the satisfaction of certain suspensive conditions and regulatory approval. The transaction is expected to close by mid-2020.
• In October 2019, Japan was hit by Typhoon Hagibis, one of the worst storms in the region in decades. The negative impact of the loss on the Group's results in 2019 exceeded EUR 5 million.
• All procedures for the acquisition of Sava Terra by Zavarovalnica Sava were conducted in December 2019. The acquisition was completed on 13 February 2020.

On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus a pandemic. In Slovenia, the government declared an epidemic on 12 March 2020. In their efforts to contain the effects of realised operational risk, Sava Re (the Company) and its other Group companies are following their business continuity protocols because the health of our staff and customers is paramount. At the time of preparing this announcement, it is not yet possible to measure all the impacts on the Group's operations. The Company will keep investors and other stakeholders informed of potential impacts as soon as these can be assessed and to the extent that they materialise. The sensitivity of the Group's results to various risks are discussed in the risk management section. In our assessment, the management have assumed that reinsurers will fulfil their obligations to the Group and Sava Re under all existing programmes.
Based on a number of publicly available macroeconomic projections, an economic slowdown is very likely and a transition into recession is possible. In addition, lower general consumption contributes to lower demand for insurance services because GDP growth is closely correlated with premium volume. The operations most exposed to the risk of a global economic downturn and volatility in financial markets are investment fund management, pension companies and insurances of the person. The Group does not rule out the possibility that other classes of business will also be impacted.
The impact of the virus as an external factor has had a severe effect on economic activity. The overriding assumption used in our assessments is that the viral infection will last for one quarter (to the end of June 2020). We assume that economic activity will then gradually return to growth over the next three quarters because the cause of the economic slowdown is a virus rather than structural problems or imbalances in the local or global economies.
So far, no measures have been taken by the insurance regulator, but the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority has already announced the possibility of additional measures on their part to help insurance companies in the current situation. In our assessment of the expected impacts of the virus, we did not take into account the assumption that we will use or need help from the regulator or the state.
By the date of the approval of the 2019 yearend financial statements, the management of the Company/Group identified the following key risks with potential negative impacts on operations and operating results:
Among the insurance classes that the Group expects to be most impacted in terms of premiums are travel insurance due to trip cancellations, corporate non-life insurance due to an economic downturn, and motor insurance due to both the expected delay in policy renewal and the decline in premiums from insurance of rental cars, goods vehicles and passenger cars, where a decline in new vehicle sales is also expected due to lower general consumption.
Related to the increased loss experience, we can expect an impact on the results of lifelong, unit-linked and risk life products. In view of the restrictions on contact by agents and the hours our offices and agencies remain open, we expect premiums from new life business to decline. We also expect certain losses from insolvency and business interruption insurance sold to businesses in the industry.
The outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic could cause a short-term severe decline in economic activity, followed by a drop in riskfree interest rates, widening of credit spreads on debt instruments, and a drop in stock, infrastructure and real estate investments.
A drop in capital markets and developments in the insurance industry will also have an impact on the Group's eligible own funds and solvency capital requirement, and consequently on its solvency position. Because it is difficult to make educated guesses at this early stage of the epidemic, we did not quantify its impact on the stresses and scenarios yet. Instead, we used own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) for 2020 as an approximation, and we present the correlation below. As already mentioned, we expect the coronavirus to have several impacts on our business related to our investments and insurance portfolios, as well as other areas.
1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
The currently not yet quantified adjustment of these ORSA assumptions to the consequences of the coronavirus are estimated as follows:
Government bonds: We believe that it is very likely that the effects of the coronavirus on government bonds will be very similar to the effects in 2008–2009 and, based on available information on movements in government bonds, we expect a materially higher increase in the value of Sava Re's portfolio of government bonds, given the material increase in returns on the safest investments.
Corporate bonds and loans: we expect the
value of corporate bonds to decline by 40% to 60% of the assumed declines used in the 2008–2009 ORSA financial crisis scenario. We believe that the likelihood of widening of credit spreads due to the coronavirus with the intensity assumed under the ORSA scenario is relatively low due to the following circumstances:
Equity securities and property: we expect the value of invested assets to decline by 60% to 90% of the assumed declines used in the 2008–2009 ORSA financial crisis scenario. Our expectation is based on the following circumstances:
Overall we believe that an epidemic would have a smaller impact on profit than projected by the 2008–2009 ORSA financial crisis scenario, mostly due to the expectation that recovery after the epidemic is expected to be faster than observed in the 2009–2009 crisis because the trigger of the economic slowdown is not structural (low capitalisation of the financial sector and excessive debt) but rather a severe external factor, which we assume will have a relatively short duration (less than 12 months).
The overall impact of the combined scenario described above is that the eligible own funds of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re would decline by a material amount. The decline would be partly offset by a lower solvency capital requirement, primarily as the result of a lower value of financial investments.
In the ORSA, the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re considered individual scenarios and a combination of scenarios to assess their overall impact on operations and capital adequacy. In determining the scenarios, we proceeded from our own risk profile of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re and tried to identify which events could have a material impact on our operations and capital adequacy. The assumptions made in the scenarios developed for ORSA were compared with identified risks related to the coronavirus. We assessed that ORSA scenarios covered the main risks, and the assessment of the scenario consequences is even more conservative than the expected consequences of the coronavirus (in particular with respect to potential effects of the financial scenario as presented further below). We have not yet quantified the coronavirus effects; nevertheless, we assess the combined ORSA scenario as a conservative estimate of risks and their possible magnitude.
In the ORSA, which is used as approximation for the coronavirus impact assessment, the solvency calculation was conducted in accordance with the Solvency II formula. In the assessment of the solvency position we did not take into account any regulatory measures taken.
A combined scenario for the Group included the following individual scenarios:
For Sava Re alone, the same methodology as for the Group was used, but we tested only combined scenarios of two individual scenarios: the financial scenario and the natural catastrophe scenario. For Sava Re the life and non-life scenarios are not relevant.
In the original ORSA financial scenario, the impact on the financial investments portfolio was estimated by simulating the impacts of the 2008–2009 financial crisis on the portfolio estimate as at year-end 2019. The following assumptions were used for this simulation:
1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
The Group and Sava Re assess liquidity risk as not significant because it maintains a very liquid portfolio of financial investments for the settlement of its obligations arising out of insurance or other contracts.
While we expect the solvency ratio to decline, we have estimated that it would remain well above the regulatory requirement of 100% and above the minimum solvency ratio as set in the Group's risk strategy for 2020–2022, at 150% (the same as for Sava Re). Thus, even if all the assumptions in the combined scenario are realised, we believe that the capital position of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re will remain adequate.
All this shows that the coronavirus situation could have a material impact on the performance of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re, but management has assessed that it is not expected to threaten their solvency thanks to their high solvency ratios. We also believe the liquidity risk will not be significant in the next 12 months, and consequently that the Group and the Company can continue their business operations, and that the going concern assumption is valid. Our assumption is based on our cash flows from core business expectations and the investment portfolio structure, which will provide adequate liquidity for a prolonged period of distressed economic factors.
In line with measures taken by the Slovenian government, imposing nationwide restrictions on "all but essential" services, and expert recommendations to shut down public life, the Sava Insurance Group has also set up measures to protect people's health and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
In its efforts to contain the effects of realised operational risk, the Sava Insurance Group is following its business continuity protocols because the health of its staff and customers is paramount. To this end, the Slovenian members of the Sava Insurance Group entered a hybrid mode of operation (working partly in the office and partly from home) as of Monday, 16 March 2020, with employees predominantly working remotely.
In accordance with the business continuity protocols and recommendations of the crisis management group, the Group companies have mapped all key and urgent processes and have ensured that they are running smoothly with employees working from their homes. The employees have safely relocated the required means of work to their home environments. The Group companies in the area of claims handling are taking into account country-level measures and the behaviour of other entities on the market. In the case of an emergency that needs to be resolved immediately and that cannot be remotely resolved, an on-call team is scheduled for dispatch to the field to perform an inspection using the required protective equipment.
Regarding the employees involved in all key processes, there is daily information available on their health condition. There is also daily information available on the hybrid mode of operation.
Sava Re is rated by two rating agencies, Standard & Poor's and AM Best.

* The SBITOP index has been rebased to the same level as the POSR share price (1 January 2019: EUR 15.3), this is followed by the stock index growth rate in real terms.
The share price was EUR 18.00 and EUR 15.30 as at 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, respectively, representing a 17.6% increase in the period.
The year 2019 will be remembered for exceptional growth in most global equity indexes. The MSCI AC World global index was up 27.2%, while the European STOXX EUROPE 600 index gained 23.8%, measured in euros. While the Slovenian blue chip index SBITOP followed the positive global trend, its growth did not keep up with the rest of the world. In 2019 it recorded a growth of 15%. High dividend yield of Slovenian equity issuers pushed profitability up by 22.1% in 2019. This was still below the yield of global and European indexes in 2019 (taking into account dividend payments), which ranged between 30.6% and 28.4%.
The yield of the Sava Re share was higher than the yield of the Slovenian SBITOP index. The Sava Re POSR gained 17.6% in 2019 and totalled 24.3% if dividend payments are taken into account. A dividend of EUR 0.95 per share was paid out in the second quarter of the year. The share's annual trade volume on the Ljubljana Stock Exchange was EUR 10.6 million (2018: EUR 9.8 million). The share's average daily turnover in 2019 was EUR 43,417 (2018: EUR 40,167).



As at 31 December 2019, 66.0% of shareholders were Slovenian and 34.0% foreign investors. The largest shareholder of POSR shares is Slovenian Sovereign Holding (Slovenskidržavni holding d.d.) with a 17.7% stake. On 24 May 2019, the Republic of Slovenia

In 2019, the management board comprised the following members: Marko Jazbec, chairman, and members Srečko Čebron, Jošt Dolničar and Polona Pirš Zupančič.
At its meeting of 19 December 2019, the supervisory board of Sava Re d.d. took note of the notice of Srečko Čebron on his early termination of his term of office as Sava Re management board member and accepted his proposal for a consensual termination of employment contract as management board member as of 31 May 2020. At the same meeting, the supervisory board unanimously supported the proposal of Chairman of the Management Board Marko Jazbec and appointed Peter Skvarča, who comes from within the ranks of the Sava Insurance Group, as a new member of the management board. Peter Skvarča, who will be responsible for reinsurance operations after the retirement of Srečko Čebron, has been appointed for a fiveyear term, beginning on the next business day following the receipt of the Insurance Supervision Agency's decision to issue a licence to Peter Skvarča to act as a member of the management board.

The management board's composition takes account of diversification of technical knowledge, experience and skills, and the way candidates complement each other so as to form a homogenous team and ensure sound and prudent conduct of the Company's business. In 2019 the Company sought to align the composition of the management board with the Company's policy on the diversity of the management and supervisory boards.

In addition to the above mentioned control systems, Sava Re has put in place internal control systems for other vital work processes. Internal controls include procedures and acts ensuring compliance with the law and internal rules. All major business processes in Sava Re have been specified, including details on control points together with persons responsible for individual controls. Basic controls are carried out by reviewing documents received or by an automatic or manual control procedure of processed data.
Sava Re complies with all rules and regulations on handling confidential data and inside information, on allocation of investments and prohibition of trading based on inside information. In addition, it regularly controls employee dealings in financial instruments for own account.
Other entities authorised by Sava Re for the provision of individual services must do so in compliance with the law, implementing acts, contracts for service, internal rules and job instructions that are applicable at Sava Re.
The Company has designated an internal control system administrator responsible for maintaining a record of identified internal control weaknesses, including recommended measures for improving the internal control system. Pursuant to the Insurance Act, Sava Re set up an internal audit department that is responsible for assessing the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls employed, and their reliability in the Company's pursuit of objectives and management of risks. The internal audit department reports on its findings to the management board, the audit committee and the Company's supervisory board.

Internal controls comprise a system of guidelines and processes designed and implemented by Sava Re at all levels to manage risks associated, among other things, with financial reporting. These controls work to guarantee the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with applicable regulations and internal acts.
Apart from the Companies Act (ZGD), Sava Re is governed by the Insurance Act (ZZavar), which provides that insurance companies must put in place and maintain an appropriate internal control and risk management system. Relevant implementing regulations based on the Insurance Act, which the Company strictly follows, are issued by the Insurance Supervision Agency.
Financial controls are tightly connected to information technology controls, which are aimed among other things at restricting and controlling access to the network, information and applications, and at controlling the completeness and accuracy of data entry and processing.
Internal controls applying to financial reporting on the consolidated basis are set out in the internal accounting rules and in the Sava Insurance Group financial control rules. Members of the Sava Insurance Group submit the financial information required for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in reporting packages, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the parent's guidelines, within the time limits set out in the Company's financial calendar. Reporting packages have inbuilt cross controls that ensure the consistency of information and are reviewed by external auditors. In addition, Group members submit their separate financial statements, which constitutes an additional control measure. By unifying information systems and applications that support consolidation, planning and reporting, the exchange of financial data among Group companies is becoming ever more efficient. Whether necessary information system controls have been put in place and function adequately is verified, on an annual basis, by relevant experts as part of the regular annual auditing of financial statements.
Under the Sava Re articles of association,the supervisory board is composed of six members, of which four (shareholder representatives) are elected by the Company's general meeting, and two (employee representatives) are elected by the workers' council, which subsequently informs the general meeting of its decision.

Supervisory board members who are shareholder representatives may be recalled by the general meeting for reasons as prescribed by law based on a general meeting resolution adopted by a majority of at least three quarters of the share capital represented.

We grow relationships with our colleagues in a responsible, frank and respectful manner. We exceed client expectations with our ongoing efforts to improve and strengthen relationships. We are active in relation to our social and natural environment.
We are working to become a recognised provider of comprehensive insurance and reinsurance services in our target markets, to establish a climate of trust and loyalty among stakeholders, to become recognised as a company that communicates fairly and transparently, to meet the expectations of our shareholders and achieve an adequate return on equity, to raise awareness about the organisation's values and to integrate these into core business policies and the way people conduct themselves.

Through a positive climate, good business culture, continuous training and investments in employees, we contribute to the continuous development of insurance and ancillary products and to more optimal business processes. We are developing a Group-specific corporate culture that will be reflected in the quality of services and in the loyalty of our employees to their company and the Group.
By definition, insurance is the provision of economic security through the spreading of financial risk, which is why the industry is tightly intertwined with the larger overall economy. Within this system, Sava Re has a responsibility to support activities that contribute to improving the social environment. Sustainable development is an area to which the Company is increasingly committed. Special attention is given to the exchange of knowledge, permanent training of employees and external stakeholders and the utilization of synergies among Sava Insurance Group companies. The social responsibility demonstrated by the Company reflects the values on which we intend to focus more in the future.
The return on equity of 13.8% exceeded the target figure. In addition to the aforementioned one-time positive effects (revaluation of the 15% share of Sava Infond and a partial repayment of the initially impaired corporate bond), the extraordinary income generated by remedying negative goodwill, related to the purchase of the companies ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje (EUR 7.5 million) also had a positive effect on the results. The following extraordinary events had a negative effect on the results of the Group: impairment of real estate owned by Illyria Hospital in the amount of EUR 1.8 million, and an extraordinary event concerning the acquisition of Sava Infond in the amount of EUR 0.8 million. All major metrics remained within the ranges set in the Group's strategic plan.

In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group surpassed the planned gross premiums. Gross premiums surpassed planned volumes in practically all insurance markets. The greatest such case in absolute terms was Zavarovalnica Sava in Slovenia, due primarily to the growth in the sale of new vehicles, growth in average premiums, and FoS operations (freedom of services), written by the non-life insurer in Slovenia in cooperation with various companies within EU Member States. Gross premiums written by reinsurance operations fell slightly short of targets.
The expense ratio was lower than expected, while the net incurred loss ratio was higher than expected due to higher claims frequency in reinsurance markets, and in Croatia and Kosovo. The combined ratio was within the target range.
Net investment income slightly exceeded the planned value, which was partly due to onetime business events (revaluation of the 15% share of Sava Infond in the amount of EUR 2.7 million, and a partial repayment of the previously impaired corporate bond in the amount of EUR 0.4 million).

DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION & PLACING THE CUSTOMER AT THE CENTRE

IT-TRANSFORMATION
GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS

Economic and insured cyber losses are mounting, which indicates that considerable non-affirmative "silent cyber" exposure is embedded in traditional re/insurance products. If (re)insurers do not start to screen their insurance portfolios for non-affirmative cyber exposures or manage them, losses could become significant and create volatility in capital and earnings in the near future. Underwriting cyber risks aren't straightforward because of the potential for large accumulation risk, their human origin, uncertainties over diversification benefits, limited historical data, and still basic modelling and IT expertise. It is expected that the global affirmative cyber insurance market will continue to expand faster than the vast majority of other traditional lines and could reach USD 8 billion in gross written premium by 2022, compared with about USD 5 billion in 2018. Reinsurers are well placed to harness this business potential if they can develop cyber ecosystems and improve cyber modelling, while managing accumulation risk and silent cyber exposure.
The amount of convergence capital (alternative capital, capital from non-insurance sources) provided to reinsurers globally fell for the first time in 10 years, reflecting two and a half years of negative returns and trapped collateral from large natural catastrophes. Despite these challenges, it is expected that capital will continue to flow into the market, particularly to insurance-linked security funds with strong underwriting, established track records of successful capital deployment and transparent reporting. Convergence capital will likely continue to play an important role in the competitive dynamics of the global reinsurance market and bolster capacity. It is also expected that traditional reinsurers will continue to factor third-party capital into their strategies to help them respond to the ongoing challenging competitive environment.
Competitive market conditions have forced global property and casualty (re)insurers to rethink their strategies and redeploy their capital toward optimal risk/reward opportunities. As a result, (re)insurers have shown growing interest in structured solutions, such as loss portfolio transfers and adverse development covers, for their legacy liabilities. If well executed, these structured solutions can benefit cedants and reinsurers. Cedants can lower earnings and capital volatility while reducing capital requirements. Reinsurers can enhance their business profiles and earnings by leveraging their underwriting and claims expertise while strengthening their client relationships.
Challenging market conditions in the global reinsurance sector and cheap financing sources will continue to drive consolidation. Merger and acquisition activity over the past two years demonstrates the convergence of primary insurance, reinsurance, and insurance-linked securities markets, and the desire to diversify internationally.
The reinsurance sector's M&A track record is patchy from the perspective of credit rating, as the effects on the acquirer's credit rating usually do not show on completion of deals, which continues to drive consolidation activities.

23 Povzeto po Standard & Poor's: Global Reinsurance highlights 2019.
Robust capitalisation, sophisticated enterprise risk management practices, and rational underwriting continue to underpin the stable outlook on the global reinsurance sector. The sector continues to battle secular headwinds, as the influx of alternative capital challenges reinsurers' business models, despite its recent slowdown; however, its growth is expected to pick up and the situation is expected to calm down. Property and casualty reinsurance prices have been rising during the 2019 renewals in response to the record back-toback catastrophe years of 2017–2018 and the resulting increase in claims. The 2019–2020 earnings forecast has been revised slightly upward following the steadying of reinsurance prices, with an expected combined ratio of 95–98% and a return on equity of 7–9%. The reinsurance sector did not earn its cost of capital in 2017 and 2018, but 2019 looks somewhat more promising.
Global reinsurance has remained resilient, despite insured losses from natural catastrophes that reached record back-to-back highs over the past two years. Some reinsurers have chosen to stop retrenching; instead, they are taking advantage of higher premium rates by increasing their exposure to catastrophe risk. Although we expect risk discipline to prevail, global reinsurers' greater exposure to catastrophe risk could heighten their earnings and capital volatility.

8 REVIEW OF OPERATIONS OF THE SAVA INSURANCE GROUP AND SAVE RE
CONTENTS
The segment reporting information also reflects reallocations of certain income statement items:
• Reallocations are made from the reinsurance segment to the other segments (Sava Re as the parent company handles the reinsurance of most risks of the subsidiaries within the Sava Insurance Group): in the segment reporting information, reinsurance premiums received by the reinsurer from the subsidiaries are reallocated to the segments from where they have arisen. The same applies, by analogy, to reinsurance-related claims, commission income, change in unearned premiums, claims provisions and deferred acquisition costs due to reinsurance. In the elimination process, the portion of business retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers is not allocated to the segments. Retrocession-related expenses usually exceed income (except in the case of catastrophe claims). In order to provide a more appropriate presentation of profitability by segment, the result of retroceded business is also allocated to the segment where it arose. All these items are adjusted only in the part relating to the risks of subsidiaries retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers.

In the statement of financial position, the following adjustments are made in addition to the eliminations made in the consolidation process:
TBS Team 24 was first included in the Sava Insurance Group consolidated financial statements on 31 January 2018, and the companies Energoprojekt Garant and Sava Penzisko Društvo on 31 March 2018. Energoprojekt Garant was merged with Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia) at year-end 2018. The acquisition of the company Sava Terra was implemented in the third quarter of 2018, and the first consolidation was performed on 31 December 2018. The companies ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje joined the Sava Insurance Group on 31 March 2019. As a result they have been included in the consolidated income statement since 1 April 2019 and were already included in the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019. Sava Infond has been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Sava Insurance Group since 30 June 2019.

1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD 2 PROFILE OF SAVA RE AND THE SAVA INSURANCE GROUP BUSINESS REPORT OF THE SAVA INSURANCE GROUP AND SAVA RE CONTENTS
The reinsurance segment primarily reflects the developments in the portfolio that Sava Re writes outside Slovenia with non-Group companies.

Gross premiums written in the reinsurance segment in 2019 were up by 1.0% from the previous year. Premium growth was achieved in non-proportional reinsurance business, especially in Asian markets (through organic growth and new contracts). In 2019, net premiums earned were lower than in 2018 by 3.1% due to the higher change in net unearned premiums (in 2018, a decline in gross pre-
miums and consequently a decrease in net unearned premiums was recorded, while in 2019, an increase in gross premiums and consequently an increase in net unearned premiums was recorded).

The performance of this operating segment is impacted by exchange differences, which is why the underwriting and investment results are not directly comparable. The following graph shows the composition of gross profits of the reinsurance segment, excluding the effect of exchange differences.
The underwriting result, excluding the effect of exchange differences, was lower than in 2018, mainly on account of higher claims incurred (deviations are explained later in the section); in 2018, the Company also recognised a one-off effect of the positive settlement of a legal case in the amount of EUR 1.5 million. In 2019, the investment result was more favourable than in 2018, which was due to the partial repayment of the previously impaired corporate bond in 2019 (EUR +0.4 million); in 2018, the company also effected EUR 1.9 million in impairments, which in 2019 did not rise to such a level. The investment result was negatively affected by the decrease in interest income due to the maturity of a part of the investment portfolio and the reinvestment of funds under significantly worse conditions; another significant reason is the increase in interest expenses due to the subordinated bond issued by the controlling company (EUR 0.5 million).
The Company follows a policy of asset and liability currency matching. The impact of exchange differences on results by operating segment was as follows: underwriting categories were impacted by exchange losses of EUR 1.6 million (2018: EUR 0.3 million of exchange gains) and exchange gains of EUR 1.4 million relating to investments (2018: EUR 0.1 million exchange losses).

* Income and expenses for 2018 differ from those listed in the 2018 annual report due to the fact that exchange differences were presented separately, while the 2019 annual report shows the common impact of exchange differences.
Income, expenses and net inv. income of the investment portfolio, excluding the effect of
In 2019, exchange differences had a negative impact on net claims incurred in the amount of EUR 1.6 million (in 2018 a positive impact in the amount of EUR 0.3 million). In 2019, net claims incurred, excluding the effect of exchange differences, rose by 17.1% compared to 2018, due to the fact that there were more catastrophic events in 2019 than in the previous year (2018: a typhoon in Japan and floods in India; 2019: two typhoons in Japan, a hurricane in the Bahamas, fires in the United Kingdom and in Qatar). The net incurred loss ratio relating to the reinsurance segment (excluding the effect of exchange differences) was lower than in the previous year by 13.4 p.p., amounting to 74.8% (2018: 61.4%).

than in 2018. The lower increase in commissions compared to gross premiums written is the result of a relative decline in proportional business, which earns higher commission rates than non-proportional business. The change in deferred acquisition costs in 2019 is lower than in the previous year, and corresponds to the developments in unearned premiums.
Other operating expenses increased by 2.2%, primarily on account of IT services.
In 2019, the net expense ratio was lower than in 2018 by 1.1 p.p. due to the lower acquisition costs and amounted to 28.2%.

The non-life insurance segment comprises the operations of the following companies:
The Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava is discussed under Slovenian non-life insurance, and the Croatian part of the company is discussed under international non-life insurance.
Income statement and statement of financial position by operating segment are presented in the notes to the financial statements, section 17.4.36 "Segment reporting".
The gross consolidated profit for 2019 relating to the non-life operating segment improved by EUR 8.5 million compared to 2018. This is the combined result of a EUR 13.7 million better result of the Slovenian insurer and a EUR 5.2 million weaker result of non-Slovenian insurers.
The consolidated underwriting result of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 14.0 million, mainly driven by growth in net premiums earned. The decline in the non-Slovenian underwriting result of non-life insurers of EUR 9.9 million is chiefly attributable to higher net claims incurred by Croatian nonlife insurers.
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 relating to the reinsurance segment.
Compared to 2018, the Group realised EUR 2.6 million higher return in the reinsurance segment. The higher return was affected by the income from the partial repayment of a previously impaired corporate bond (EUR +0.4 million). In 2018, the company realised EUR 1.9 million impairments, which were not realised in 2019. The investment return for the period was 2.1%.

Gross non-life insurance premiums grew by 13.7% in 2019 as a result of the growth in gross non-life premiums of all non-life insurance companies in the Group. Accordingly, net premiums earned also grew, by 13.8% in total.
Slovenia-sourced gross non-life premiums grew by 12.2%. The increase in gross premiums for FOS business (freedom of service) in the amount of EUR 13.7 million written by the non-life insurer in Slovenia in cooperation with various companies within the EU Member States contributed to the growth of the Slovenian non-life insurer. This chiefly includes motor and general liability policies. The increase in gross premiums of the Slovenian non-life insurer in the amount of EUR 22.9 million refers to non-life insurances without FOS business. In the aforementioned period, the Slovenian insurance market registered 7.5% growth in non-life gross premiums, excluding FOS business and accepted co-insurance, while the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava achieved 7.7% premium growth. The growth in gross premiums written for the Slovenian non-life insurer, excluding FOS business, mostly stemmed from motor business. A large part of the growth relates to private motor insurance business, where the number of policies is increasing, as is the average premium in all insurance packages with the highest sales. In addition, favourable economic conditions with rising sales of motor vehicles boosted the sale of upmarket motor insurance packages. There was also a rise in gross premiums written in property business, due to an increase in insured property value of a large client. Net non-life insurance premiums earned in Slovenia grew by 12.4% in 2019.
Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 20.3%. The growth was chiefly driven by the inclusion of the Croatian nonlife insurer ERGO into the Sava Insurance Group. The largest jump in absolute terms was in motor premiums, chiefly as the result of higher sales in Croatia. Gross motor premiums also rose for the other non-Slovenian non-life insurers as a result of increased sales activities (opening of new branches and roadworthiness tests) and the joining of new policyholders.
The investment result of the Slovenian nonlife insurer was weaker by EUR 1.0 million due to lower interest income. The investment result of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers was weaker by EUR 0.2 million, which is chiefly attributable to lower other investment income and somewhat higher expenses for financial assets and liabilities.
The result of other income and expenses of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 0.7 million, chiefly due to lower other expenses in 2019. This is because in 2019 a change was made in the presentation of discounts for advance payments: in 2018, they were recorded as other expenses, while in 2019 they are recorded as a reduction in gross premiums written. The result of other income and expenses of non-Slovenian non-life insurers improved by EUR 4.8 million due to income concerning the remedying of negative goodwill recognised at the acquisition of the company ERGO Osiguranje.

Consolidated gross non-life claims grew by 8.2% in 2019, chiefly as the result of growth in gross non-life claims of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers.
Consolidated gross claims paid relating to Slovenian business rose by 4.0% in 2019 compared to the previous year. The increase in consolidated gross claims of the Slovenian business was mostly due to the change in the ownership of a subsidiary assistance service provider. In 2018, the costs of services of the assistance service provider concerning the performance of activities for the other Group companies were recognised in operating expenses, while in 2019 a part of these expenses, which the assistance service provider performs for the Group companies, was transferred to the gross claims item. Without this change, the consolidated gross claims related to Slovenian business would remain at same level as the previous year. In 2019 compared to the same period in the previous year, Zavarovalnica Sava incurred higher claims concerning motor insurance due to the increase in the average relevant claims. Two greater claims also increased the level of claims. On the other hand, in the property insurance segment gross claims decreased, since 2018 saw higher claims paid due to weather-related disasters.
Consolidated gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business rose by 31.5%. In absolute terms, growth was mainly driven by the inclusion of the non-life insurer ERGO into the Sava Insurance Group. The largest rise in claims was posted by the Croatian non-life insurer, specifically in motor liability business, followed by motor casco claims. The main reason for the rise in motor claims is a rise in the number of reported claims and several larger claims, which is related to the high growth in the sale of these policies, stronger external distribution channels and online sales. In 2019, the Kosovan non-life insurer also paid out one significant claim in the fire-risk segment.

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-life segment dropped by 1.7 p.p. due to the increase in gross premiums written for the Slovenian non-life insurer (a decrease in the
gross expense ratio of 2.1 p.p.) and an increase in gross premiums written for foreign non-life insurers (a decrease in the gross expense ratio of 1.5 p.p.).

Consolidated acquisition costs were up by 29.7%. The rise in acquisition costs was driven by the growth in premiums written, specifically Slovenian business, FOS business and the inclusion of ERGO into the Sava Insurance Group.
Consolidated other operating expenses were only up by 0.2%. This was mostly due to the change in ownership of the subsidiary assistance service provider. In 2018, all operating expenses of the assistance service provider related to the performance of activities for the other Group companies were transferred from the "other" segment into the non-life segment Slovenia and international non-life segment. In 2019, a part of these expenses was reallocated to gross claims.
An increased change in deferred acquisition costs reflects portfolio growth resulting in more deferred acquisition costs.

The Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava is discussed in the life segment Slovenia, and the Croatian part of the company in the international life segment. The company ERGO Životno Osiguranje joined the Sava Insurance Group on 31 March 2019, and at the end of 2019 it was merged with the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava, which is why as of 1 April 2019 it is included in the consolidated income statement within the Croatian part of the Zavarovalnica Sava in the international life segment.

The net investment income of the investment portfolio of non-life insurance business totalled EUR 7.9 million in 2019, down by EUR 1.0 million from 2018. Net investment income was lower largely owing to lower interest income (EUR 0.9 million). The investment return for the period was 1.4%. LIFE BUSINESS

In 2019, gross premiums written by the Slovenian life insurer remained at approximately the same level as in the previous year. The company managed to offset the entire shortfall in premiums related to maturities, deaths and surrenders with new insurance contracts.
In 2019, gross premiums written by the non-Slovenian life insurers grew by 9.1% year on year, with the largest growth recorded in Serbia, reflecting greater efficiency of the own sales network, as was the case also in Kosovo; however, the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava experienced a decline in gross premiums written as the result of expiring policies (due to maturities, deaths, surrenders) that the company did not manage to compensate by writing new business.

In 2019, acquisition costs fell by 4.6% year on year, and were lower year-on-year in the life business of Slovenia, Croatia and Kosovo, but higher in Serbian business. The difference in the change in deferred acquisition costs between the years chiefly relates to Slovenian life business.

The consolidated gross expense ratio rose by 0.4 p.p. year on year. The Slovenian insurer saw an increase in the gross expense ratio by 0.5 p.p. (higher other operating expenses, mostly regarding information technology, while policy acquisition costs were lower and gross premiums remained roughly the same), while the gross expense ratio fell significantly with foreign companies, namely by 1.9 p.p. (significantly higher gross premiums and lower policy acquisition costs, while the other operating expenses were higher due to the merger with ERGO Životno Osiguranje).

In 2019, gross claims paid in Slovenia rose by 34.7% year on year as the result of a large number of policies reaching maturity. The bulk of the maturity benefits incurred in the period related to traditional life policies, specifically EUR 65.5 million, an increase of EUR 29.3 million year on year. Life insurances, where policyholders bear the investment risk, registered EUR 16.7 million in surrenders and advance payments, up EUR 8.6 million year on year, whereas this class of insurance incurred lower maturity benefits

Of the non-Slovenian insurers, Sava Životno Osiguranje (Serbia) recorded the largest increase in gross claims paid (from maturities and deaths), at 46.5%. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava had an increase in gross claims of 25.3% due to the merger with the ERGO life insurer (approximately EUR 0.7 million in gross claims). Without the ERGO portfolio, the gross claims in the Croatian branch of the Zavarovalnica Sava would decrease by roughly 12%. Illyria Life's gross claims paid grew by 18.1% in 2019 (driven by maturities and surrenders).

The net investment income of the investment portfolio of life insurance business declined by EUR 1.5 million year on year. This was partly due to lower interest income (EUR 1.6 million). The investment return in 2019 was 1.8%.

The annuity part relates to the operation of Sava Pokojninska. The gross premiums written relate to the annuity fund, which in 2019 grew by 4.8% year on year, as a number of policyholders opted for additional pension annuities.
Gross claims paid include supplementary pension annuity payouts, which increased by 0.9% in 2019 compared to the previous year. After insured persons meet pension eligibility requirements their assets are transferred from savings accounts to annuity accounts, which creates growth for annuity funds.
The change in technical provisions includes the change in the technical provision relating to the annuity funds. The change in other net technical provisions reflects the change in premiums and claims, and the change due to revaluation for 2018.

In 2019, operating expenses grew by 34.3% year on year, mostly due to the North Macedonian pension company operating the entire year, while in 2018 it was only included in the Group as of 1 April 2018.
The difference in the balance of fund assets and the balance sheet item assets of financial investments are the receivables of financial investments. In 2019, gross inflows into the group of life cycle funds MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla (MY life-cycle funds) of the Slovenian pension company increased by 4.1% compared to the previous year. Growth was chiefly driven by an increase in the number of policyholders.
In 2019, gross outflows from the group of life cycle funds MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla (MY life-cycle funds) of the Slovenian pension company decreased by 0.7% compared to the previous year. Gross outflows relates to regular or extraordinary termination. The largest portion of the latter refers to withdrawal from insurance.
In 2019, the company carried out transfers from other Group contractors in the total amount of EUR 0.7 million, while transfers to other contractors totalled EUR 0.3 million, so that the net effect of transfers was positive but was, however, significantly lower than in the previous year.
Fund return of EUR 6.9 million is attributable to favourable developments in financial markets in 2019 (above-average returns).
Entry and exit charges relating to the My-Life-Cycle group of funds remained unchanged year on year.
In 2019, the balance of the group of life-cycle funds grew by 10.1% to EUR 148.6 million as at 31 December 2019.

In 2019, gross inflows into the mandatory and voluntary funds of the North Macedonian pension company totalled EUR 71.5 million, and gross outflows were EUR 32.2 million. The majority of outflows refers to the statutory provision that assets and policyholders born after 1 January 1967 are to be transferred from the second pillar back to the first. The funds achieved a return of 9.8% in the period.
In 2019, the net value of fund assets under management grew by 18.3% to EUR 594.5 million as at 31 December 2019.
The value of assets under management is not recognised in the statement of the financial position of Sava Penzisko Društvo because the North Macedonian pension company only manages the assets.

Gross premiums written in Slovenia increased in 2019 by 22.3% or EUR 14.9 million (mainly due to higher premiums received from Zavarovalnica Sava). This favourable premium growth is a result of growth in motor business (increase both in average premium and number of policies written), some new customers, and growth in the portfolio of direct international business based on the freedom of services principle. Gross premiums written from abroad increased by 2.0%, or EUR 1.9 million, due to the growth in non-Group non-proportional business.
Fire business still accounted for the largest share of premiums in 2019, although its proportion shrank by 1.7 p.p. compared to 2018. The share of motor reinsurance within gross premiums increased by 1.6 p.p.

The net investment income of the investment portfolio of pension companies totalled EUR 0.9 million in 2019, up by EUR 0.6 million from 2018. Net investment income grew as the result of a partial repayment of a previously impaired corporate bond (EUR 0.3 million), more dividend income (EUR 0.1 million) and higher income from changes in fair value on disposal of FVTPL assets (EUR 0.4 million). Return on the investment portfolio in 2019 was 3.6%.

Net claims incurred increased by 22.9% compared to 2018. In 2019, exchange differences had a negative impact on claims incurred in the amount of EUR 1.7 million (in 2018, the impact was positive in the amount of EUR 0.3 million). There were more catastrophic disasters in 2019 (two typhoons in Japan, a hurricane in the Bahamas, fires in the United Kingdom and in Qatar) than in the previous year (typhoons in Japan, floods in India).
As a result, the net incurred loss ratio of Sava Re in 2019 was lower than in 2018 by 11.6 p.p. and stood at 69.0%. The ratio without the impact of exchange differences was lower by 10.1 p.p. and in 2019 stood at 67.8%.
Non-life reinsurance business still accounted for the largest share of claims in 2019 and its proportion increased by 3.8 p.p. compared to 2018. The share of motor reinsurance also increased, namely by 2.4 p.p.

In 2019, acquisition costs (commissions) increased by 2.5%, while gross premiums increased by 9.8%. The share of acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written decreased by 1.5 p.p. year on year to 21.5%. The change in deferred acquisition costs (increase in 2019, decrease in 2018) was higher in 2019 than in 2018 due to more gross premiums written, leading to lower unearned premiums.
Other operating expenses of Sava Re com prise reinsurance costs (50.1%) and Group management costs (49.7%). Expenses of Sava Re rose by 5.6% compared to 2018, primarily due to the rise in personnel costs and costs of intellectual and personal services. The later costs were mainly due to computer services and strategic investments in 2019. Amorti sation costs also increased, reflecting higher costs for software. Expenses by nature are shown in note 36 of the notes to the financial statements.
The higher reinsurance commission income is primarily the result of increased commission income generated by Sava Re's retrocession business relating to reinsurance programmes of the Slovenian cedants. This effect relates to more commissions received on surplus reinsurance treaties, which means that due to good results in 2018 Sava Re received more commissions in 2019 from retrocessionaires.

The largest contribution to total 2019 income related to dividends received from subsidiaries, totalling EUR 36.9 million, up EUR 3.4 million year on year. Compared to 2018, there was a rise in dividend distributions from other financial investments in 2019. Interest income and realised gains on disposal of investments were somewhat more modest. In 2019, net exchange gains totalled EUR 1.4 million (2018: net exchange losses of EUR 0.1 million).
Compared to 2018, investment portfolio expenses decreased by EUR 5.6 million. In 2019, investment expenses were mainly comprised of interest expenses relating to the issued subordinated bond of Sava Re. No expenses relating to impairment losses on financial investments or subsidiary companies were recognised in 2019 (2018: EUR 6.0 million).
Net investment income relating to the investment portfolio of Sava Re totalled EUR 43.7 million in 2019 (2018: EUR 32.4 million), of which EUR 6.8 million related to financial investments, including investment property, and EUR 36.9 million to investments in subsidiaries.
Net investment income also includes exchange gains relating to investments used by the Company for asset-liability matching in foreign currencies. However, the effect of exchange differences does not fully impact profit or loss, since liabilities denominated in a foreign currency move in line with investments in that currency. For this reason, net investment income and return on investment are also shown excluding foreign exchange differences. The total impact of exchange differences on the result is set out in the notes to the financial statement of the annual report, section 17.6.3.2.4 "Currency risk".

As at 31 December 2019, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,157.8 million, an increase of EUR 75.0 million from year-end 2018. The increase was largely due to the issuance of Sava Re subordinated bonds totalling EUR 75 million.

The reinsurers' and co-insurers' share of technical provisions (9) increased by EUR 11.3 million, or 41.5%, compared to 31 December 2018. Unearned premiums increased by EUR 4.9 million (extension of the reinsurance programme, especially for new FOS business), whereas claims provisions increased by EUR 6.4 million on account of some large reinsurance claims made by Slovenian Railways in 2019, revaluation of reinsured annuities stemming from liability policies and the acquisition of a new company.
The investment contract assets item (10) includes liability fund assets relating to the group of life cycle funds MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla (MY Life-cycle Funds) that have been managed by the Sava Pokojninska pension company for the benefit of policyholders since 1 January 2016. This group consists of three long-term business funds: Moj Dinamični Sklad (My Dynamic Fund, MDF) and Moj Uravnoteženi Sklad (My Balanced Fund, MBF) (where policyholders bear the full investment risk) and Moj Zajamčeni Sklad (My Guaranteed Fund, MGF), where policyholders bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed funds. As at 31 December 2019, investment contract assets totalled EUR 151.2 million, up 11.5% compared to 31 December 2018. The increase in investment contract assets was mainly due to net flows (EUR 6.7 million, with EUR 13.2 million of inflows and EUR 6.4 million of outflows in 2019) and net income of EUR 6.4 million achieved in 2019, which was fully allocated to policyholders' personal accounts, as well as
EUR 1.9 million in assets backing annuity policies, which are not classified as insurance but investment contracts due to low underwriting risk.
As at 31 December 2019 financial investments accounted for 91.1% of all assets, the rest consisted of receivables, investment property and cash and cash equivalents.
Like the previous category, the movement in investment contract assets depends on new premium contributions, outflows and changes in the unit prices of funds.
Receivables (11) increased by 13.4 % or EUR 18.9 million compared to year-end 2018.
The increase was partly due to the increase in receivables arising from primary insurance business, which rose by EUR 13.4 million compared to 31 December 2018. The ageing analysis shows the highest increase in receivables arising out of primary insurance operations up to 180 days past due. The majority of the increase from primary insurance business relates to Slovenian non-life business, amounting to EUR 11.0 million due to the increase in gross premiums written, which impacted the overall growth of this item. Receivables from primary insurance business also increased in the reinsurance segment (EUR 1.3 million) and the international nonlife segment (EUR 1.0 million) on account of the growth in gross premiums written.
Changes in the composition of the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group:
In 2019, a slight decrease and change in the composition of fixed-income investments were due to the maturity of government bonds, increase in the corporate bond portfolio and the increase in cash and cash equivalents that resulted from strategic investments planned for 2020.
Zavarovalnica Sava is the only Group company to market life products where the investment risk is borne by policyholders. The funds of these policyholders are recorded as financial investments (mainly in mutual funds selected by policyholders) and cash. As at 31 December 2019, financial investments totalled EUR 213.2 million, while cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 18.1 million. Thus, funds increased by EUR 15.4 million compared to 31 December 2018. The increase is a result of revaluation to market value (EUR 23.0 million), transfer of the Ergo Životno Osiguranje d.d. investment portfolio to the Croatia-based branch office of Zavarovalnica Sava (EUR 0.9 million), and changes in accrued interest on debt securities. Net cash flow was negative in 2019 (EUR 10.0 million).

In 2019, Sava Re issued subordinated bonds with a scheduled maturity of 2039 and with an early recall option for 7 November 2029. Sava Re intends to use the net proceeds for general corporate purposes of the Sava Insurance Group and for the optimisation of its capital structure. The total issue size is EUR 75 million.
Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item on the liabilities side. As at 31 December 2019, they were 1.7% or EUR 15.4 million lower than at year-end 2018.

Gross provisions for the reinsurance segment rose by 8.5%, or EUR 13.3 million, mainly on account of claims provisions, which increased by EUR 12.4 million due to major loss events in the international portfolio.
Gross provisions in the non-life segment at year-end 2019 were up 8.6%, or EUR 42.2 million, as a result of a EUR 23.8 million increase in unearned premiums (corresponding to the growth in the business volume), whereas the gross claims provision increased by EUR 19.4%, mainly on account of the integration of new companies into the Group and portfolio growth.
Gross provisions for traditional life policies at year-end 2018 were 16.1%, or EUR 42.5 million lower than at the previous year-end, mainly as a result of maturity payments.
Other technical provisions (provisions for bonuses, rebates and cancellations, and other provisions) account for a smaller proportion and remained at about the year-end 2018 level.

The technical provision for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk (4) at 31 December 2019 grew by 5.0% or EUR 10.6 million compared to year-end 2018. This provision moves in line with funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk (depending on contributions, outflows and movement in fund unit prices).
Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 151.0 million as at 31 December 2019, up 11.5%, or EUR 15.6 million, from year-end 2018. Their movement is in line with the investment contract assets, driven largely by new premium contributions, payouts and changes in the unit prices of funds.
Group companies initially recognised their long-term lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019. As at 31 December 2019, lease liabilities totalled EUR 10.4 million and refer to liabilities from long-term operating leases.
As at 31 December 2019, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 384.8 million in equity and EUR 74.8 million in subordinated liabilities.
In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group had a negative operating cash flow of EUR 31.1 million (2018: positive operating cash flow of EUR 0.3 million) that was driven by the cash flow from its core activity (insurance and reinsurance business). Cash flow is lower compared to the previous year mainly due to maturity benefits on life insurance policies.
In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group recorded a positive cash flow from financing activities of EUR 56.9 million (2018: negative EUR 12.4 million). Unlike dividend payments, which had a negative effect in 2019 (up EUR 2.6 million over 2018), subordinated debt had a positive effect (EUR 74.3 million).
Net cash flow in 2019 was EUR 1.2 million above the year-on-year figure, mainly due to the issuance of subordinated debt.
Compared to the previous year, the investment portfolio grew by EUR 113.7 million. The increase was largely due to the issuance of Sava Re subordinated bonds totalling EUR 75 million and dividend income from subsidiaries (EUR 36.9 million).
The largest share of the investment portfolio as at 31 December 2019 were fixed-income financial investments, which accounted for 53.5% (31 December 2018: 48.1%). Their share in the composition of the investment portfolio increased by 5.3 p.p. As at 31 December 2019 alternative investments in the form of infrastructure and real estate funds totalled EUR 8.0 million or 1.4% of the investment portfolio. Owing to the time lag between the commitment and the actual investing, the uncalled commitment in infrastructure and real-estate funds is disclosed off the balance sheet (amounting to EUR 13.7 million as at 31 December 2019). Financial investments in subsidiaries accounted for 40.0%, up EUR 19.8 million. The increase was due to the acquisition of the 84% stake in Infond in the second quarter of 2019. The increase in cash equivalents is the result of the issuance of subordinated bonds, the proceeds of which were invested in deposits with up to six months maturity.
Following is an overview of the composition of the investment portfolio.
The investment portfolio consists of the following statement of financial position items: financial investments (7), investments in subsidiaries and associates (6), investment property (5), and cash and cash equivalents (14).
The Sava Re investment portfolio totalled EUR 595.3 million as at 31 December 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 481.7 million).

Unearned premiums increased by EUR 4.7 million (extension of the reinsurance programme, especially for new FOS business), whereas claims provisions increased by EUR 5.0 million on account of Group business (high retroceded claims by Slovenian Railways and revaluation of annuities stemming from liability insurance).
Receivables (11) at year-end 2019 show an increase of 10.5% or EUR 9.2 million. Receivables arising out of primary insurance business increased by EUR 7.0 million, mainly due to the growth in gross premiums written.

Technical provisions (3), the second-largest item on the liabilities side, increased by 11.6%, or EUR 27.2 million, compared to 31 December 2018. The increase is largely due to the growth in the gross claims provision (10.3% or EUR 19.1 million), which increased in the non-Group business portfolio by EUR 12.5 million due to portfolio growth and major loss events in recent years. The claims provision for the Group portfolio increased by EUR 6.6 million, mainly due to large claims by the Slovenian railways and revaluation of annuities stemming from liability business (both are largely retroceded). The movement in technical provisions is discussed in detail in note 24 of the notes to the financial statements.

The largest employee group in the Sava Insurance Group in terms of years of service is the first group – employees with up to five years of service (2019: 23.9%). Slight growth was recorded in other years-of-service groups as a result of low employee turnover.
The large proportion of Sava Re employees in the first two categories, based on seniority in the Company, is attributed to increased recruitment since 2009.

Employee training and development at the Sava Insurance Group is vital for the implementation of strategic directions and the achievement of the goals of the Group and its individual companies. We strive to provide all employees with training opportunities in either internal or external professional sessions. Group and individual trainings are organised in leadership skills, communication, efficient sales, teamwork and time management. Employees are encouraged to undergo training at professional seminars in order to acquire and maintain expertise. We also encourage employees in all companies to reintegrate into formal education.
Companies enable and encourage employees to obtain and retain licenses required for sales personnel and other professional staff.
Sava Re encourages the development of competence and responsibility in its employees. Therefore, employees take part in education and training programmes in accordance with the needs of the workplace as well as their personal and career development.
We employ young and promising, as well as more experienced professionals. In order to prepare new employees for their new role quickly and efficiently, the Company prepares suitable induction programmes upon employment. During these periods, new employees are placed in the care of a mentor and a leader to prepare them for tasks that are more demanding and carry more responsibility.
In 2019, Sava Re fostered the development of leadership and social competencies through its year-long peer-to-peer coaching programme.
We offer our employees interesting work in culturally diverse international environments. We create a working environment that supports the professional and personal development of our employees. We encourage knowledge sharing among Sava Insurance Group employees. In order to unlock synergies and strengthen relations among Sava Insurance Group employees we offered seminars in internal auditing, IT, finance, accounting, controlling, actuarial affairs, human resource management, risk assumption and risk transfer, a life insurance workshop and two marketing and sales conferences.
As in previous years, we organised two international Group-level strategic conferences, bringing together employees from the entire Sava Insurance Group to exchange experiences, analyse current challenges, share best practices and prepare improvements that contribute to more efficient operations. This year, the focus was on strategy development, taking responsibility, credit rating, brand, clients and new developments in international financial reporting standards and sustainable development.
The employee turnover rate is measured by the ratio of the number of employees who left to the total number of employees as at the year end. The employee turnover rate decreased by 4.97 p.p. (2018: 17.65%, 2019: 12.68%). The number of employees who left was lower in all Group companies.

In 2019 we organised various training courses for leaders, foreign language courses, public speaking training sessions, a workshop on first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and courses aimed at developing computer and other skills.
We are a company with a broad range of expertise; therefore, we encourage employees to share their knowledge and skills. This is because highly-skilled employees represent a pillar of development in all areas of our business.

Health and safety at work is a concern that involves all employees, management, the human resources department, an approved medical examiner and an external authorised service provider.
In 2019, we carried out all health and safety at work, and fire protection measures. Our health day was organised for the second year running. Through various activities (a hike, lecture, dance, tennis and volleyball) we want to raise awareness of the importance of our employees' health and well-being. Our staff are offered a weekly supply of seasonal fruit.
Employees are regularly referred to periodic health checks and undergo regular training in health and safety at work in accordance with applicable laws and internal acts.
The Company's holiday facilities in Bohinj and Cres are available for employees to use.
Individual companies offer employees additional financial benefits (e.g. supplementary pension or other insurance) and non-financial benefits (e.g. flexible working hours, recreation, use of leisure facilities).
They also organise social events for employees during the year, also outside working hours. In addition, Group employees were involved in several corporate charity activities that are traditionally part of the Sava Re Day.

All employees can join representative labour bodies in all the companies where such bodies have been set up. Employee representatives are informed of the introduction of important changes in accordance with the applicable legislation.
Employees are regularly informed of developments in Group companies through the Sava Insurance Group portal.
The trade union and the workers' council serve as the link between employees and management of the parent company Sava Re. Their members represent all organisational units. In 2019, we worked closely on amending the collective agreement and several of the Company's internal acts.
All-staff meetings serve as an important source of information for employees, where the management board presents results of operations, plans for the current period and the development strategy of the Company and the Group.
Internal communication is effected through various internal media and tools. Monthly events are posted on the Savan intranet portal.
We foster cooperation and networking in our spring, autumn and pre-New Year social meetings, and in other social events. This year, employees once again took part in a number of volunteer activities in support of the Sava Re Day.

We are aware how important our key professional and promising employees are for the Group, and through training we prepare them for more demanding tasks and posts associated with greater responsibilities. The scope of the training programmes that we organise and conduct demonstrates how committed we are to nurturing professional development and progress of all our employees. We continue to invest in leadership development, as we are convinced that good leadership fosters employee satisfaction and loyalty, through which we build a modern organisational culture.
We encourage a positive working climate by effective leadership and motivation of employees, effective organisation of work and the involvement of employees in a number of projects. We appreciate the commitment of staff members in their efforts to achieve the Company's goals. The remuneration system is geared towards motivating employees to improve on their past performance. They are encouraged to be creative in performing routine tasks, so that they can achieve better results more efficiently.
Annual performance appraisal interviews were also conducted in 2019, as we continue to see them as an important and efficient management tool.
The focus is on a transparent goal-setting and goal-tracking system that is based on the Company's strategy. Thereby the Company seeks to bring the strategy closer to its employees, providing feedback on how their work contributes towards achieving the strategic goals of the Company as a whole. Employees are goal-oriented and quick to identify their role in and responsibility for delivering on the strategy.
In regular annual interviews, leaders and employees review past objectives and set new ones, breaking them down into tasks to be performed in the coming period. They also discuss past and required education, training and other plans.
Most companies conduct annual performance appraisal interviews at least for employees up to the upper-management level. At Sava Re, annual appraisal interviews were conducted with all employees.
In all Group companies, measures related to occupational and fire safety are carried out, in line with applicable legislation. In addition, all employees are referred to the necessary occupational health checks.
Group companies organise a number of activities promoting health in the workplace, depending on their organisational and other capabilities (promotion of recreation, motivational and stress management workshops).

The Sava Insurance Group management is aware that risk management is key to achieving operational and strategic objectives and to ensuring the long-term solvency of the Group. Therefore, the Sava Insurance Group is continuously upgrading the risk management system both at the Group company and Group levels.
The Group companies' risk culture and awareness of the risks to which they are exposed is essential to the security and financial soundness of the companies and the Group as a whole. In order to establish good risk management practices, the Group promotes a risk management culture with appropriately defined remuneration for employees, employee training, and relevant internal information flow at the individual company and Group levels.
The Sava Insurance Group has implemented a risk strategy that defines the Group's risk appetite and policies that cover the entire framework of risk management, own risk and solvency assessments, and risk management for each risk category. Based on the Group's risk strategy and policies, individual Group companies set up their own risk strategies and policies, taking into account their specificities and local legislation. The risk strategy is prepared for three-year periods, simultaneously with the strategic plan. The adequacy of the risk management system policies is examined annually.

CONTENTS
The first line of defence of each individual Group company involves all company employees responsible for ensuring that operational tasks are performed in a manner that reduces or eliminates risks. Additionally, risk owners are responsible for individual risks listed in the risk register. Line managers are responsible for ensuring that the operational performance of the processes for which they are responsible are conducted in a manner that reduces or eliminates risks, and that the frameworks laid down in the risk strategy are observed. The first line of defence is also responsible for monitoring and measuring risks, the preparation of data for regular reporting on individual areas of risk, and the identification of new risks.
Each Group company has set up the following three key functions as part of the second line of defence: the actuarial function, risk management function, and compliance function. In addition, the Group's large members have in place a risk management committee. The members of the risk management committee and key function holders are appointed by the management board; key function holder appointments additionally require the consent of the supervisory board. Each individual company ensures the independence of the key functions, which are organised as management support services and report directly to the management board. Their roles and responsibilities are defined in the policy of each key function or in the risk management policy that defines the risk management function.
The risk management function of each individual company is mainly responsible for setting up effective risk management processes and for the coordination of risk management processes already in place at the company or Group level. It is involved in all stages of the processes of identification, assessment, monitoring, management and reporting of risks. It is also involved in the preparation of the risk strategy and the setting of risk tolerance limits. The risk management function regularly reports to the risk management committee (if set up), the management and the supervisory boards, the risk committee (Sava Re) and the Group's risk management function holder, and works in cooperation with the risk management function on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, it offers support to the management board in decision-making (including in relation to the strategic decisions such as corporate business strategy, mergers and acquisitions, and major projects and investments).
The main tasks of the actuarial function in the risk management system comprise expressing an opinion on the underwriting policy, expressing an opinion on the adequacy of reinsurance arrangements, and independent verification and challenging of technical provision calculations, including assumptions, methods and expert judgment areas. The actuarial function of each individual company works in cooperation with the Group's actuarial function.
Systematic risk management includes an appropriate organisational structure and a clear delineation of responsibilities.
The efficient functioning of the risk management system is primarily the responsibility of the Sava Re management board and the management board of each individual subsidiary. To ensure efficient risk management, the Group uses a three lines of defence model, which clearly segregates responsibilities and tasks among the lines:
The Group's risk management system has been set up based on the top down principle, taking into account the specificities of each individual company.
The management boardof each company plays a key role and bears ultimate responsibility for the effectiveness of established risk management processes and their alignment with the Group's standards and the applicable legislation. In this regard, the management board is primarily responsible for:
The supervisory board of each individual company approves the risk strategy, risk management policies and the appointment of key function holders in the risk management system. In addition, the supervisory board analyses periodic reports relating to risk management. A risk committee has been set up within the supervisory board of the parent company to provide relevant expertise and support in the risk management process in the Company and in the Group.

12 INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES IN THE SAVA INSURANCE GROUP
The main duties of the compliance function relating to the risk management system are: identification, management and reporting of any instances of non-compliance with regulations, including monitoring of the legal environment, analysis of existing processes regarding their compliance with internal and external rules, and any changes in regulations.
Apart from the key functions, the second line of defence at Sava Re and Zavarovalnica Sava also consists of a risk management committee. The Sava Re risk management committee is also responsible for the Group level. The committee includes the key representatives of the first line of defence and the management board with regard to the company's risk profile. The holders of other key functions of the risk management system are also invited to the committee meetings. The committee is primarily responsible for monitoring the risk profiles of the Group and individual companies, analysing risk reports and issuing recommendations to the management board.
The third line of defence consists of the internal audit function. For Slovenian companies the function is organised as an outsourced internal audit engagement at Sava Re, whereas other companies have their own internal audit functions. The internal audit function operates at the individual company and Group levels and is completely independent from the business operations and other functions. In the context of the risk management system, the internal audit function holders are responsible for independent analysis and verification of the effectiveness of the risk management processes and internal controls that are in place.
Good practices from Sava Re's risk management model and the organisation of risk management are also transferred to other Group companies.
Risk management is integrated into all stages of business management and is composed of the following key elements:
The Group's risk management system is presented in the diagram below.

14 BUSINESS PROCESSES AND IT SUPPORT
Risk management processes are inherently connected with and incorporated into the basic processes conducted at the individual company and Group levels. All organisational units are involved in risk management processes.
The chief risk management processes are:
Risk management processes are incorporated into all three lines of defence. The roles of individual lines of defence are defined in the risk management policy. Risk management processes are also integrated in the decision-making system; all important and strategic business decisions are also evaluated in terms of risk.
In the process of risk identification, each individual Group company identifies the risks to which it is exposed. The key risks compiled in each company's risk register, constituting the company's risk profile, are reviewed on a regular basis and new risks are added if so required. Risk identification at the Group level is conducted in the same way.
Risk identification in individual Group companies and at Group level is both a top-down and a bottom-up process. The top-down risk identification process is conducted by the risk management function, the risk management committee and the management board of each Group company. Such identification of new and emerging risks is based on monitoring of the legal and business environment, market developments and trends, and expert knowledge; this process is mainly used with strategic risks, such as reputational risk and regulatory risk.
Bottom-up risk identification takes place in individual organisational units and with risk owners (first line of defence). A Group company's risk thus identified is categorised and incorporated into the relevant monitoring, measuring and reporting processes.
Risk identification is performed on an ongoing basis, especially as part of the business planning process and any major projects and business initiatives such as launching of a new product, investment in a new class of assets, acquisitions and other.
The Group has in place regular risk assessment (measurement) processes for all the risks to which individual companies or the Group are exposed. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are used to measure risk. The modelling development centre functions at the Group level to develop quantitative risk assessment models for the entire Group.
In order to establish a solid risk management framework, in 2017, the management board – with the consent of the Sava Re supervisory board – approved the Sava Insurance Group risk strategy for 2017–2019, which, defines the Group's risk strategy based on its risk bearing capacity. Each individual Group company drafts its own risk strategy by taking into account the Sava Insurance Group's risk strategy. The Group document sets:
The basic principle of the Group is to pursue its business strategy and meet the key strategic objectives while maintaining an adequate capital level.
The key areas on which risk appetite is based are:
Each individual Group company sets its own risk strategy, risk tolerance limits and operational limits based on the Group's risk appetite. Risk tolerance limits are limits set for individual risk categories included in individual companies' risk profiles, determining approved deviations from planned values. These limits are set based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, stress tests and scenarios, and professional judgment.
Based on the risk appetite and risk tolerance limits, individual Group companies set operational limits, such as (re)insurance underwriting limits and investment limits, in order to ensure that the activities of the first line of defence are carried out in accordance with the set risk appetite. In addition, each Group company ensures that it has in place well-defined and established escalation paths and management actions in the case of any breach of operational limits.
For the purpose of periodic monitoring of compliance with the risk strategy, a minimal set of risk measures has been defined in individual Group companies that facilitate simplified monitoring of the current risk profile and capital position of each individual company and the Group, without having to carry out a complete calculation of the solvency capital requirement. The measures in individual companies and the Group are subject to continuous monitoring.
10 HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT
12 INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES IN THE SAVA INSURANCE GROUP
Regular risk reporting has been set up in the large Group companies and on the Group levels. Risk owners report on each risk category to the risk management function, including a predetermined set of significant risk measures and qualitative information. Based on this, the risk management function in cooperation with risk managers prepares a risk report covering each individual company's entire risk profile. The report is first discussed by the company's risk management committee (if the company has one), followed by the management and supervisory boards. Finally, a company' s risk management function submits the report to the Group' s risk management function.
In addition to these risk management processes, EU-based Group (re)insurance companies and the Group also perform an ORSA, which is defined in the own risk and solvency assessment policy. ORSA is a process that includes the identification of the differences between a company's or the Group's risk profile and the assumptions of the standard formula, the own assessment of solvency needs, capital adequacy projections, stress tests and scenarios, and the establishment of the link between the risk profile and capital management. In ORSA, all material risks, whether quantifiable or not, are assessed that may have an impact on the operations of the Group or a Group company from either an economic or a regulatory perspective.
As a rule, the ORSA process is conducted annually; an ad hoc ORSA is performed in the event of a significant change in the risk profile. EU-based Group insurers and the Group report to the regulator on the ORSA (at least) on an annual basis. Every year, ORSA is more closely integrated with other processes, in particular with risk and capital management and business planning. The Group's risk management committee and company management boards are actively involved in the ORSA throughout the process. Employees from different departments take part in the process, as we wish to obtain as complete and updated a picture of a company's risk profile as possible.
The primary objective of the ORSA is to better understand own risk profile and the standard formula, and to analyse the impact of the changes in the risk profile on capital adequacy over the next three years. ORSA is an integral part of the decision-making process conducted to ensure that the key decisions and the business strategy are adopted with consideration of risks and associated capital requirements. Based on ORSA results we also check the compliance of the business strategy with the risk strategy. This establishes the link between the business strategy, the risks taken in the short, medium and longer term, and the capital requirements arising from those risks and capital management.
In 2020, the Group is to prepare its first single ORSA report, which involves all entities required to perform the ORSA: Sava Re, Zavarovalnica Sava and the Sava Insurance Group. The purpose of the single report is to provide a comprehensive overview of own assessment and risk profile.
Risk monitoring is conducted at several levels: at the level of individual organisational units and risk owners, risk management departments, the risk management committee, the management board, the supervisory board's risk committee (Sava Re) and at the supervisory board level of each Group company. In addition, each Group company's risk profile is monitored at the Group level in terms of impact on the Group's risk profile. A standard set of risk measures is defined for risk monitoring, and Group companies follow it on a regular basis. Both risks and risk management measures are subject to monitoring and control.
The management board of each Group company is responsible for risk management and the use of various risk management techniques and actions. In its decisions, the management board takes into account the cost benefit aspect of actions as well as recommendations, if any, issued by the risk management committee or key functions.
Whenever the need arises to adopt a new risk control measure, the relevant company conducts an analysis of the measure in terms of economic and financial viability. Elimination or mitigation of individual risks must be more cost effective than mitigation of the potential impact should the risk materialise, taking into full account the probability of such an event and all of its implications.
In practice, it is already in the business planning process that a Group company examines the impact of the business strategy on its capital position, both with regard to the regulator as well as with regard to the own risk and solvency assessment. If during the financial year decisions are taken that have a significant impact on the risk profile but have not been assessed in terms of risk during the business planning process, the relevant company assesses the impact of such decisions on its risk profile and capital adequacy, and verifies compliance with the risk appetite. If a business decision could have a significant impact also on the Group's risk profile, such impact on the Group's risk profile and capital adequacy is also assessed. If any business decision does not comply with the risk appetite or any risk tolerance limit is exceeded, the Company needs to document such deviation and take relevant action to resolve the situation.

12 INTERNAL AUDIT ACTIVITIES IN THE SAVA INSURANCE GROUP
The Sava Insurance Group and Group members are exposed to the following risks:
Individual risks are described in detail in the notes to the financial statements of the Sava Insurance Group (section 18.6).
Capital management at the Group level is defined in the capital management policy of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d., which sets out the objectives and key activities associated with capital management. Capital management is inseparably linked with the risk strategy, which defines the risk appetite.
The Group's objectives of capital management are:
The Group manages its capital to ensure that each Group company has available, on an ongoing basis, sufficient funds to meet its obligations and regulatory capital requirements. The composition of own funds held to ensure capital adequacy must comply with regulatory requirements and ensure an optimal balance between debt and equity capital. The level of eligible own funds in individual Group companies and within the Group is intended to meet the solvency capital requirements and to achieve the target credit rating and other objectives of the individual Group company and the Group as a whole.
An important input element in capital management and business planning is the Group risk strategy and its risk appetite set out in the strategy. For the purposes of determining a capital management framework, the Group risk strategy defines levels of capital adequacy. Group capital adequacy serves as the basis for determining the capital adequacy of each Group company.
The Group risk strategy in conjunction with capital adequacy is defined so as to meet regulatory requirements and the requirements of rating agencies, and to ensure that the parent company has sufficient excess capital to cover any potential capital needs of subsidiaries in the event of a major stress scenario materialising in any of them. To this end, excess of eligible own funds is determined over the statutorily required.
As provided by the risk strategy, all Group subsidiaries must have, on an ongoing basis, a sufficient amount of capital available to meet solvency requirements. In addition, Group subsidiaries subject to the Solvency II regime must have sufficient capital to absorb small to medium fluctuations in the SCR and own funds, which may result from the standard formula methodology and the possibility of small and medium stresses and stress scenarios materialising.
Regular IAD reviews were focused on establishing the probability of fraud, and exposure and vulnerability to IT risks. In areas subject to internal audit engagements, control systems have been set up and are operating so as to prevent fraud.
The IAD reports – on a quarterly basis – to the management board, the audit committee and the supervisory board on completed auditing engagements, the effectiveness and efficiency of control systems, corporate governance, risk management, identified breaches and irregularities, and on the monitoring of the implementation of recommendations. In addition, the IAD prepared an annual report on its activities in 2019, which is part of the materials for the general meeting of shareholders.
External assessment of the quality of internal audit at Sava Re d.d. in 2019 was performed by Deloitte Revizija d.o.o. The external assessment of the IAD's operations confirmed compliance of the internal audit with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, Code of Ethics of Internal Auditors and the Code of Internal Auditing Principles.
While strengthening the IAD we intensified the implementation of the new software to support the comprehensive internal auditing process, also at the Sava Insurance Group internal audit level.
Internal auditing in the Company is carried out by an independent organisational unit, the internal audit department (IAD), which reports to the management board and is functionally and organisationally separate from other organisational units of the Company. This ensures the autonomy and independence of its operation.
Pursuant to the Insurance Act and based on outsourcing agreements Sava Re d.d. has been performing, for indefinite duration since 1 February 2018, the key functions of the internal audit of Zavarovalnica Sava d.d. and Sava Pokojninska Družba d.d. In 2019, Sava Re signed a contract pursuant to the Investment Funds and Management Companies Act (ZISDU-3) with Sava Infond, Družba za Upravljanje d.o.o., with which the latter transferred the performance of the internal audit key function to Sava Re d.d. as of 1 January 2020, for an indefinite period.
In 2019, the IAS conducted audits and other tasks in accordance with the annual work plan. Of the 24 internal audit engagements planned, 23 were performed.
Based on all tests and methods used in individual audit areas, the IAD is of the opinion that internal controls at Sava Re are adequate and that the degree of their reliability is good. The IAD is also of the opinion that the governance of Sava Re was appropriate and is being improved on an ongoing basis in order to achieve major business goals, and that risks are effectively managed with efficiency and economy of operations in mind. According to the IAD, there remains room for improvement regarding the operation of the system. The audit engagements revealed individual irregularities and weaknesses, which the IAD pointed out, recommending the remedy of such aimed at improving control procedures, corporate governance and risk management. This is to improve the efficiency of internal controls and regularity of operations.
The aim of the internal audit is to provide assurance and advice to the management board in order to add value as well as improve the effectiveness and efficiency of operations. The internal audit assists the Company in achieving its goals based on a systematic and methodical assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of governance, risk management and the internal control system, and by providing recommendations for their improvement.
The consolidated annual report refers to a single financial and calendar year and is prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standards, the Companies Act, the Solvency II Directive and international sustainability reporting standards Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). The annual report is prepared by Sava Re specialist services and all subsidiaries. The consolidated annual report incorporates all legal entities constituting the Sava Insurance Group80.
Sustainability reporting is integrated in individual sections of the annual report. Disclosures are specially indicated with interactive references. The section "Sustainable development in the Sava Insurance Group" provides disclosures and other specific business impacts not covered by other sections of the annual report. In addition to general disclosures it provides, in accordance with prescribed principles, disclosures on the economic, social and environmental aspects that are of vital importance for the Group and relate directly to the Group strategy.

The data on sustainable operation of the Group was prepared by a mixed working group brought together explicitly for this purpose, with the assistance of specialist services of each subsidiary. Data is collected and the report drafted by specialist services of the parent company, which is also responsible for reporting. Disclosures in accordance with the GRI standard refer to all Group companies, where possible; where it is not possible, to the parent company and EU-based subsidiaries. The GRI content index81 at the end of the annual report offers a comprehensive overview of the type and scope of disclosures.
No statements or information from the previous report have changed on account of new findings, and the report therefore contains no corrections82.
Sava Re did not seek external assurance of the sustainability report in 201983.
Sustainable development is one of Sava Insurance Group's fundamental strategic orientations for 2017–2019 and the next strategic period. Sustainable development, i.e. corporate social responsibility, is a growing and increasingly important aspect of decisionmaking in all business segments.
These efforts are reported in accordance with the international sustainability reporting standards Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) (Core option); the report provides a straightforward and honest overview of the character, values and strategic pursuits of the Company and the Group as a whole77.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted at the United Nations Summit in September 2015, brings together 17 sustainable development goals in a well-balanced scheme.
Sustainable development strategy adopted
The upcoming strategic period will thus centre around:

• the focus on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal "Good health and well-being" – in our insurance products and services, to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages; • interests and expectations of the relevant interested parties and stakeholders, as communicated to us through dialogue with different stakeholder groups. The sustainable development strategy is thus based on building quality long-term relationships with all stakeholders, with customers and their satisfaction at the centre;
All subsidiaries appointed their sustainable development owners responsible for the implementation of the sustainable development strategy and coordination of the tasks agreed.
With the non-financial information reported in accordance with the GRI standards, the annual report of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d. for 2019 complies with the Directive 2014/95/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on disclosure of non-financial and diversity information by certain large undertakings and groups, and with the Companies Act.
In its strategic plan for the period 2017–2019, the Sava Insurance Group incorporated sustainable development as one of its key pursuits and made a commitment to make it an integral part of the business processes in this period. As evident in the report, the guidelines were followed in some areas, whereas in others the sustainable aspect is still being implemented. Business models for sustainable development and criteria for monitoring sustainable development indicators have not yet been established everywhere, and the 2019 non-financial report does not yet allow for comparative analysis in all areas, but in some cases it presents data and facts consistent with the reporting principles.
As sustainable development remains one of our priorities in the next strategic period 2020–2022, we have prepared and adopted the "Sustainable development strategy" in cooperation with all Group subsidiaries.
The Group's objectives and its sustainable development strategy are rooted in its values, mission and vision. The goal of the Sava Insurance Group for the strategy period is for its stakeholders to recognise it as:
We will pursue this goal by supplying transparent and comprehensible products over a wide sales network with a well-trained sales force, through transparent and effective processes (business digitalisation). This will contribute to improved customer satisfaction and will boost satisfaction, innovation and motivation among our employees.

Employees of subsidiaries Illyria, Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro) and of both North Macedonian subsidiaries also participated in blood drives in 2019.
84 GRI 102-40, 102-42, 102-43, 102-44, 102-46
The needs and interests of stakeholders are met and monitored through mutual relations established at the strategic and operational levels. Trust and mutual understanding with individual groups is thus strengthened on the basis of fair and balanced communications and inclusion.
Key stakeholder groups are a dynamic and constantly evolving category, with new stakeholder groups forming as the Sava Insurance Group develops and grows, and with them also the need for new information and communication channels. To this end, Sava Re organised workshops with members of specialist services in subsidiaries, in which we reidentified groups of stakeholders who play key roles in ensuring the ongoing health and success of the Sava Insurance Group.
At the same time we highlighted and discussed 17 key topics that had been recognised as important in our previous cooperation with stakeholders and as such as defining for the Sava Insurance Group strategic policy.
In the reporting period 2019 we thus, for the first time, directly engaged our key stakeholders in compiling the sustainability report, by asking them to participate in an online survey. This time, the groups of respondents were defined by Sava Re and Zavarovalnica Sava, but the plan is to engage all subsidiaries in the next sustainability reporting.

Below, we list those stakeholders believed to have a significant impact on each individual legal entity in the Group and vice versa; what is more, these stakeholders also actively contribute in adding value to our business operations.
We cultivate responsible and sincere relations with all our stakeholders. In doing so we follow the recommendations and rules of public reporting, the code of ethics and internal rules. Additionally, we seek out opportunities to simplify access to information and opinion sharing, making use of information technology, which is unconstrained by time and space.

Economic performance defined by the strategic goals in all areas and reported more extensively in the financial part of the report is the key performance indicator for the operations of the Sava Insurance Group. This is achieved through timely risk identification and management. We believe that both financial and non-financial risks have an impact on the economic performance of the company.

When investing, Sava Re and Zavarovalnica Sava adhere to the ESG (environmental, social, governance) principles through negative screening. When choosing investments we favour those that comply with the ESG principles, the principles of sustainable developments, responsible investment and similar. Return on investment is not the only criterion; sustainable impact is another factor that plays a pivotal role in investment decisions. In building our investment portfolio we avoid investing in securities that might have harmful effects of any kind either on people or the environment, or that in any way deviate from the ESG principles. Part of our funds are invested in debt securities issued by international organisations such as the EBRD, the World Bank and the European Investment Bank, as we believe that these organisations invest in environment-friendly projects and promote development in accordance with their environmental and social policies. We also invest in securities issued to fund green, environmental projects (green bonds). We do not make investments in nuclear energy, net fishing, production or trade in illegal products or services, or in products and services that (potentially) harm people or the environment. In addition, we no longer invest in military industries, the tobacco industry, adult entertainment or gambling. From the end of 2018, investments in green bonds, which totalled EUR 19 million, increased by EUR 6.4 million and reached EUR 25.4 million. These are bonds of supply and energy companies, as well as government bonds and bonds issued by financial institutions. What they all have in common is that the funds collected through the issue of bonds, finance projects and investments that meet criteria such as the ESG standards.
Sustainability criteria are the most effectively integrated in infrastructure investments. In the past, compliance with ESG standards was one of the key selection criteria, but in the past year we tightened the criteria, and non-compliance with the ESG guidelines now constitutes ground for exclusion when making decisions on investments in infrastructure funds and direct infrastructure projects. Currently, all infrastructure funds in the portfolio meet the ESG criteria, which has a positive impact on the environment and society, and some of them explicitly target infrastructure projects that involve renewable energy sources.
In 2019, we provided capital commitments of EUR 25.5 million for four different infrastructure funds and one direct investment in energy efficiency solution for a school gym in the amount of EUR 107 thousand. All these funds meet the ESG criteria, with one of them investing exclusively in renewable energy sources in developing countries.

In 2019 we saw an increase in losses due to natural disasters in Sava Re's international reinsurance portfolio, the most notable being two typhoons in Japan (Faxai, EUR 2.7 million, and Hagibis, EUR 5 million) and the tropical storm Dorian in the Caribbean (EUR 2.3 million).
In 2019, Zavarovalnica Sava measured a moderate level and frequency of storms, much like in the two and three recent years. In these terms, 2019 could even be defined as a more favourable year. Catastrophes (storm, hail, flood) accounted for 12,148 claims (+13%) totalling (claim payments and provisions) EUR 10.4 million, which was slightly less (-5%) than the year before.
As for other subsidiaries, 2019 did not stand out in terms of weather phenomena and related claims.
The Sava Insurance Group companies coordinated and unified the purchasing policy, which provides strategic guidelines and principles governing a transparent procurement process. Internal acts prescribe the inclusion of an anti-corruption clause in all purchase contracts.90 When ordering, taking over and paying for goods, the principle of four eyes is applied, which ensures a high degree of individual control over the business purchasing process. Sava Re assesses the risk inherent in purchasing on a quarterly basis.91 The "Rules on the procurement procedure" are accompanied by the "Questionnaire on the sustainability of the company"92, which is intended for suppliers whose bids are collected through tenders (the value of goods exceeds EUR 50,000). A completed questionnaire is an important factor in the selection of a supplier and the first

GRI 205-01 GRI 205-01 GRI 414-01 GRI 204-01 step towards the promotion of sustainability in partner relationships within the procurement process. When updating their internal acts governing the business procurement process, the companies in North Macedonia and Montenegro also integrated the mechanisms for monitoring suppliers' sustainability using questionnaires for high value purchases.
Group companies' suppliers are mainly providers of consulting services, IT tool maintenance and upgrading, office supplies, small tools, computer hardware, software and similar, and company cars. Recycled paper was included in Sava Re's stationery supply. The nature of business and the need to establish long-term partnerships in their own community require all Group companies to cooperate with local suppliers. The local market of an individual Group member represents the total geographical area of the country in which it is registered93.
Although some of the purchases are made outside their home country, they are limited (mainly to the goods and services that cannot be sourced in their home country or are offered at non-competitive prices), and in case of producers or service providers from other countries business relationships are established through local agents or representatives. Frequently, looking for suppliers in foreign markets is not reasonable, because companies can make purchases under better conditions and with less risk with domestic suppliers.
The goal of the Group's purchasing policy is also to set up a joint list of suppliers in order to create synergies in the quality of goods, by building trust between partners and securing favourable commercial conditions. The first initiatives are limited to the local markets and strategic suppliers.
The Sava Insurance Group invested EUR 5 million in real estate funds and provided additional EUR 5 million in capital commitments. Real estate funds plan to reduce their energy, water and waste consumption by 10% by 2025; they are working to gain environmental certifications such as LEED, BREEAM in HQE, or pursue sustainable goals, including greenhouse gas reduction, which they regularly report on to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).

In 2020, we plan to continue investing in renewable energy sources and energy efficiency projects, and tap into the potential of green bonds to strengthen our portfolio. In the strategic period 2020–2022 we decided to uphold the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), in the framework of which we will further develop the sustainability assessment methodology for investments.

Globalisation and previously unimagined technological development have changed all our lives. Human activity, our growing need for energy supply through fossil fuels, and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are the main causes of climate change and have a visible impact on the environment. Measurements across the world provide evidence that the Earth is becoming warmer and glaciers smaller, while higher temperatures and increased evaporation drive the frequency and intensity of extreme weather phenomena (heat waves, droughts and storms), thus changing regional precipitation and climate patterns.
The insurance sector as the industry that offers insurance protection from natural disasters, thus faces the challenge of managing additional risks defined as the result of human activity in the last century, in particular the excess of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and intensive land use.
Investing in sustainable development and prevention (renewable resources, awareness raising) are the factors that have an important impact on the scope and scale of losses due to natural disasters, which is why we integrated sustainable development into our strategic plan 2017–2019 as one of its main orientations, while our main efforts remain focused on limiting exposure to the industries and sectors that play a big part in adding to environmental burdens.

1 LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
94 GRI 201-04
The Group companies received no financial assistance from the government in 2019.
In 2019, Sava Re claimed a reduction in the payment of employer's contributions for pension and disability insurance for employing persons younger than 26 years of age for indefinite periods, namely for the first two years of employment. The company was entitled to a 50% refund on employer's contributions for pension and disability insurance for the first year of employment and up to 30% on contributions for pension and disability insurance for the second year. The total value of these refunds amounted to EUR 2,025 (2018: EUR 2,119).
Sava Re also set up a collective voluntary supplementary pension insurance scheme funded by the employer and has a contract in place on the accession to the pension company's pension scheme, registered in the pension scheme register at the Financial Administration of the Republic of Slovenia. Based on these contracts, the Company pays a voluntary supplementary pension insurance premium for the employees who have joined the pension scheme. Thus, it is entitled to a reduced income tax base in the amount of the voluntary supplementary pension insurance premium paid in the tax year for its employees to the pension scheme provider. The total value of this tax relief amounts to EUR 102,416 (2018: EUR 96,378).
Zavarovalnica Sava receives a monthly bonus for employing more employees with disabilities than prescribed by the quota and also claims exemption from paying the pension and disability insurance contributions for these employees. These incentives in Zavarovalnica Sava for 2019 totalled EUR 104,163 (2018: EUR 122,393).
In 2019, Sava Pokojninska received funds from the Public Scholarship, Development, Disability and Maintenance Fund of the Republic of Slovenia for comprehensive support to enterprises for active aging of the work force in the amount of EUR 14,600 for 7 employees. This served as the basis on which the company shaped the Strategy for better management of older workers and their upskilling.
The Sava Insurance Group ensures competitiveness and transparency of the selection procedure in relationships with its suppliers by sending requests for proposals to several providers and increasing competencies and responsibilities for decision making regarding the selection of suppliers, depending on the level of the estimated value of the goods. Special attention is paid to the development of quality criteria, mutual cooperation, creation of synergy, and price competitiveness (rebate scales and similar), all of which are considered an appropriate basis on which to assess suppliers.
In terms of procurement, the Company/ Group takes into account also a number of other internal acts defining procedures and other instructions, for example: the fleet management policy in the Group, rules on procurement, use and maintenance of company vehicles, systemic procurement procedure in the Sava Insurance Group, rules on company mobile phones and devices, and similar.
Sava Re and all Sava Insurance Group companies settle their procurement-related liabilities within agreed deadlines.

All companies offer additional benefits to their employees, within their capabilities, including preventive healthcare, team building, a motivating and positive working atmosphere, work-life balance and general wellbeing in the workplace.
They organise pre-New Year's Eve social events, teambuilding programmes, excursions, meetings, new-year gifts for employees' children and symbolic gifts for their employees upon jubilees and other occasions.
Once a week, Sava Re offers fruit to its employees and organises four events a year dedicated to health and recreation, with sports activities, workshops or lectures.
A medical examination is available for both men and women. The Company organises social events for all employees, including new year's parties, picnics, celebrations of employees' anniversaries, a day off for parents of first-graders.
All Slovenia-based companies pay voluntary supplementary pension insurance premium for their employees: Sava Re, Zavarovalnica Sava, Sava Pokojninska, Sava Infond and TBS Team 24. The North Macedonian insurers Sava Osiguruvanje and Sava Penzisko also pay into the voluntary pension scheme on behalf of their employees.
In the Sava Insurance Group we are aware of our responsibility to employees. The fundamental goal of our sustainable development strategy is to be recognised by our stakeholders as a socially responsible and attractive employer in the region. Survey results also demonstrated how important satisfied, innovative and motivated employees are. All groups of the key stakeholders ranked the importance of happy, innovative and motivated employees among first three of seventeen topics (see section "Involvement of stakeholders").
The Group is strongly committed to fostering and building honest and respectful relationships, and invests many efforts in creating a positive and creative atmosphere in its daily routine as well as in its strategic policies.
We are aware that we can achieve our goals only with competent, qualified, experienced and motivated employees. In the Sava Insurance Group we promote development and transfer of knowledge and skills. We create synergies by sharing knowledge and good practices between professional services and companies in the Group. To achieve this we organise expert meetings for representatives of all companies at events, meetings or professional conferences, which serves as the opportunity to exchange knowledge and skills and allows us to inform each other about results and plans. In 2019, we organised 24 events of this kind.
In the Sava Insurance Group we build and promote the culture of innovation. We organise meetings and innovation workshops, and collect proposals for improvements. Zavarovalnica Sava introduced the "Register of Continuous Improvements" which enables all employees to submit, by completing an online form, proposals for improvements or innovations, express their approval or report an inconsistency, deficiency or error. Proposals or reports may relate to business processes, insurance products, compliance of business operations, risks and internal controls, as well as employees and internal relationships. Employees can also submit commendations, which promotes a positive attitude across the company. In 2019, the register received 25 requests.
Every year, the Montenegrin company Sava Osiguranje organises a competition for the most innovative proposals. These are reviewed by the appointed committee, which is also responsible for their implementation. Awards are conferred at an award ceremony meeting with all company employees.

Customer satisfaction and customer relations are at the centre of every business decision in the Sava Insurance Group. Our goal is to offer them the best user experience. Owing to the Group's growth, also in terms of new insurance companies and companies operating in complementary services, we decided to test the strength of the brand that best describes our Group.
All our companies have a common denominator: they conduct insurance business or business ancillary to insurance. For this reason, we decided that the umbrella brand Sava Re Group be replaced in all corporate documents by Zavarovalna Skupina Sava in Slovenian and Sava Insurance Group in English. The new umbrella brand was first used in the financial report January–March 2019.
In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group made the first step towards expanding its offer of ancillary insurance services to meet the needs of its customers. In so doing, the Group keeps its sights set on its sustainable development goals and socially responsible investing, which is becoming the most important investment trend of the present and the future.
In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group took over Infond and became its sole owner, which has allowed the Group to further expand and develop its asset management operations.
One of the sub-funds under the umbrella fund Krovni Sklad Infond, which is managed by Sava Infond, is also a global equity subfund of developed markets Družbeno Odgovorni Delniški Podsklad Razvitih Trgov, the first Slovenian fund that invests in shares based on social responsibility criteria.
In its pursuit of the United Nations sustainable development goal "Good health and well-being" the Sava Insurance Group launched, in cooperation with Zavarovalnica Triglav, activities to take over the Diagnostični Center Bled d.o.o. (Diagnostic Centre Bled), an important healthcare provider in the Slovenian market. It is a company with an established brand and more than 25 years of business tradition. The acquisition of Diagnostični Center Bled, d.o.o. is an important step for the Sava Insurance Group in implementing its strategy towards the expansion to the private healthcare market in Slovenia.
We remain true to the promise that we made to our clients in 2016 under the slogan #NeverAlone. We are honest, accurate and understandable in our communication with customers.
To manage provision of services all companies have in place rules, protocols or instructions that have a pivotal role in ensuring the quality of services and in turn customer satisfaction: for underwriting, claims settlement, instigation of recourse proceedings and complaints resolution, describing the procedures for providing information about insurance products or services where the local legislation so requires (e.g. in the Republic of Serbia).
Companies offer additional discounts to their employees for health and other insurance, and have a collective accident insurance scheme in place for their employees.
All companies are aware how important the work-life balance is for their employees.
Zavarovalnica Sava is the recipient of the full Family-Friendly Company certificate. Zavarovalnica Sava also offers paid absence from work for employees introducing their children into kindergarten or accompanying their child on the first day of school (from the 1st to the 3rd year of elementary school), and employees returning to work after a prolonged absence are offered assistance through interviews and a work reintegration plan.
Both Kosovar companies allow nursing mothers to leave work an hour early every day until their child is two years old.
Companies also offer discounts and other benefits to their employees who wish to join sports and recreational activities, visit cultural events and preventive medical check-ups.
Zavarovalnica Sava established a special association for its agents, the Zavarovalnica Sava Top Team, and agents are invited to join it based on their fulfilling the set criteria. In 2019, the Top Team had 43 members. They were invited to three gala cultural events and two major sporting events for business partners; they attended both sales conferences organised last year and received several quality business gifts.

A family run with the message #ActiveTogether was organised in March 2019 by the subsidiaries in Serbia in cooperation with the Athletic Association of Serbia.

Launch of the new brand
In 2019, Zavarovalnica Sava adopted the "Rules regulating the distribution of insurance products", which govern such distribution in order to prevent and mitigate damage for customers, support the management of conflicts of interest and ensure that customers' objectives, interests and characteristics are taken into account.
One of the requirements of the directive is the insurance product information document (IPID). It is a short and stand-alone form with all key information about the product (e.g. insurance cover, excluded risks, restrictions). A customer is provided with better transparency and easier comparability of products. Prior to the conclusion of the contract, the agent must also determine the suitability of the insurance product for the client, and each policyholder must sign that they are acquainted with the content of the insurance product information document and that the insurance product has been fully and accurately presented.
Zavarovalnica Sava complies with all provisions of the Consumer Protection Act and other acts governing communication of information to clients entering into investment (insurance) contracts. Applicable legal provisions and regulatory frameworks are observed also when pursuing development activities.
Therefore, every effort is made to ensure transparency, clarity and access to information both in developing new products and in client notification.
At Sava Re we are aware of the role of effective dialogue with our reinsurance customers, so we pay regular visits to our partners and take part in international (re) insurance conferences.

The adoption of Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on the distribution of insurance products (hereinafter: IDD directive) introduced significant changes in the development cycle of insurance services, especially in terms of selling insurance products in the insurance market.
With the aim of ensuring greater transparency and comparability of insurance, enhancing consumer protection and increasing confidence in the insurance market, the Company improved transparency in the development and sale of insurance products and product information provided to customers. The fundamental principles of the directive are the transparent operation of insurance companies and other sellers of insurance products in accordance with the best interests of policyholders, and the provision of fair, clear and non-misleading information about insurance products.
The purpose of the new directive, which has applied since 1 October 2018, is to coordinate national rules concerning access to the distribution of insurance products and is aimed at minimum harmonisation, which means that it does not preclude Member States from maintaining certain traditional methods of selling insurance products or introducing more stringent provisions in order to protect customers, provided that such provisions are consistent with this directive. The IDD directive focuses on insurance distribution from the consumer (policyholders) protection perspective and stresses in particular the central role of insurance and reinsurance intermediaries in the distribution of insurance products. The IDD was transposed to the Slovenian legislation with the Act Amending the Insurance Act (ZZavar-1A) at the beginning of 2019.


The insurance product document is a form that contains all key information about the product. A customer can review the contents of the product in detail prior to entering into the insurance contract.


Our customers are also offered access to our services through modern media and technologies, which enables them to get better acquainted with the content of the product, take out insurance, and receive instructions on how to file an insurance claim.

The values and principles of ethical conduct are defined in the "Code of ethics of the Sava Insurance Group" (hereinafter: the "Code of ethics"), which was adopted also by the Group's subsidiaries. The general principles of the "Code of ethics" represent the basic values of the Sava Insurance Group, which are binding on all our employees and include: fairness and compliance of business operations, transparency, managing conflicts of interest, prevention of money-laundering and financing of terrorism, and prevention of restriction of competition. Employees who are aware of violations of the Code or other binding rules are obliged to report them to the compliance function holder. No violations of the "Code of ethics" were determined in 2019. Annual plan 2020 for the Sava Insurance Group compliance function holder envisages the renewal, i.e. updating of the "Code of Ethics of the Sava Insurance Group".
In the conduct of its business the Company also complies with the provisions of the adopted "Insurance code" to ensure business development, a professional underwriting process and business conduct. The Company's operations are grounded in compliance with market principles, market competition based on loyalty and integrity, and insurance economics and business ethics, with the aim of providing customers high-quality (re)insurance protection.
Sava Re has also signed the Slovenian Corporate Integrity Guidelines, committing the Group to creating a work environment grounded in a culture of corporate integrity, zero tolerance for the illegal and unethical conduct of its employees, compliance with legislation, rules and values as well as in the highest ethical standards. Sava Re's reference code is the Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies adopted by the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, the Slovenian Directors' Association and the Managers' Association of Slovenia on 27 October 2016.
At the end of 2017, Sava Re also adopted a policy on the diversity of the management and supervisory boards of Sava Re d.d., which governs and preserves, inter alia, the genderand age-balance of all board members99. Sava Re has integrated respect for human rights in its operations in accordance with the applicable legislation and follows the proposal for the national action plan on business and human rights of the Republic of Slovenia. The Company has adopted the rules on prevention and elimination of violence, bullying, harassment and other forms of psychosocial risks in the workplace, including a protocol for recognising and resolving such risks. No such cases were reported in 2019.
To increase international brand awareness we organise training programmes (Sava Summer Seminar) in which we host our existing and prospective partners from around the world and introduce them to the topical developments in reinsurance, actuarial science, modelling and solvency-related issues.
All subsidiaries post information on their products on their websites, whereas in Serbia customers receive product information prior to signing the policy and confirm this by signing the so-called pre-contractual notification.
All Group companies communicate with their customers through various channels that are adapted to different target groups and comply with the local legislation. Customers are placed at the centre in order to build partnerships with them that will permeate all aspects of their lives. This can only be ensured through a wide range of insurance products and with services that are readily available at any time. We inform our customers and communicate with them personally as well as through modern media and technology, including websites, email, written notifications, call centres or contact phones, online chats, social networks, SMS and similar. All companies have established an expansive sales network through their branch offices that offer customers access to their services.
When advertising the Group provides relevant information on advertised products. Product information is always available on official websites together with statutory notifications and related news. In the event of mass losses, Zavarovalnica Sava publishes a notice and provides instructions for policyholders, setting forth the right course of action.
When handling policyholders' complaints, Group members abide by the rules and procedures on complaints resolution, which are compliant with the guidance issued by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA).
The complaints handling procedure in place in Zavarovalnica Sava is harmonised with the "Guidelines on complaints-handling by insurance undertakings" and "Report on best practices by insurance undertakings in handling complaints", which were adopted by the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority – EIOPA and also comply with the statutory obligations regarding the out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes. The complaints handling system rules are laid down in the applicable "Complaints resolution rules". These rules regulate the procedure for the resolution of complaints submitted by policyholders, the insured, prospective insured, injured parties and other beneficiaries of insurance contracts regarding the misunderstandings and disputes arising from underwriting, and insurance or compensation payments, which are referred to the complaints committee. In 2019, the committee processed 2,641 complaints. Most of them concerned the amount of compensation paid, and grounds for refusal when compensation was denied.
Companies outside Slovenia also have in place internal rules, prescribed procedures and instructions for monitoring and handling complaints in accordance with the local legislation.

Zavarovalnica Sava also adopted the Slovenian Corporate Integrity Guidelines and thus confirmed its commitment to abide by and ensure transparency and corporate integrity, zero tolerance for the illegal and unethical conduct of its employees from the top down as the fundamental principles underlying the Company's operations.
In its contracts Zavarovalnica Sava lays down provisions on the conflict of interests, data protection, professional secrecy, general purchasing conditions and the anti-corruption clause.
Zavarovalnica Sava' s "Code of ethics" provides for anonymous reporting of improper conduct and breaches of the Company's values within its "Speak Out" ("Spregovori") system. They also prepared an implementing act defining the process of reporting suspected improper conduct, the issues covered
102 GRI 103-01, 103-02, 103-03, 205-01
by the system, established reporting channels, a whistle-blower protection system and reporting on adopted measures. The proposed solution, i.e. the report and report handling procedure complies with the EU whistleblower protection directive that was adopted at the end of 2019. Efficient internal procedure for handling unfair conduct can protect the Company against serious damage to its image in case of an external report indicating the Company's failure to sanction, eliminate or prevent unfair conduct through internal mechanisms. In the process of establishing the "Speak Out" breach reporting system the Company also appointed a corporate integrity committee. A breach reporting system is in place also in the Republic of Croatia.
In 2019, the committee received one breach notification, which subsequently turned out to be unfounded.
In accordance with the provisions of the Slovenian Corporate Integrity Guidelines, the Sava Insurance Group purchasing policy and internal rules of an individual company in the Republic of Slovenia, the anti-corruption clause is incorporated as a mandatory contractual provision in legal relations with contractual partners, along with the general purchasing conditions of individual companies, protection of confidential data and provisions governing the protection of personal data. The Sava Re "Rules on the management of conflicts of interest" prescribe the procedures and rules relating to receiving gifts, entertainment and hospitality.
The Sava Insurance Group did not record any corruption cases in 2019. A detailed and transparent gift policy limits the opportunities for unjustified grievances and distrust in employees' honesty in performing their daily job responsibilities.
Sava Re follows the principles and guidelines of the rules on the management of conflicts of interest. The rules aim to mitigate the effects of conflicts of interest and manage conflicts of interest that may arise in the performance of the duties and tasks of individuals in the Company, by establishing and implementing procedures and measures to be applied when a conflict of interest arises.
The Sava Insurance Group updates the system and rules governing the conflicts of interest on an ongoing basis, in particular by raising awareness, building knowledge and standards of ethical conduct.
In 2019, Zavarovalnica Sava adopted the new "Code of ethics" that covers all business areas of the insurance company. The Code provides a framework for the Company's commitment to legal compliance, fairness and ethical conduct; it expresses and implements the general principles and fundamental values of Zavarovalnica Sava and the rules of conduct that govern its employees' daily work. The Code applies to all Zavarovalnica Sava employees and other stakeholders associated with its operations.
The disputes arising from violations of the insurance code, good business practices and fundamental standards of insurance practice are processed by the complaints resolution officer. In 2019, the complaints resolution officer processed 57 complaints that mainly concerned unprofessional conduct in handling insurance claims, incorrect data submitted with the insurance contract, protection of customers' rights and benefits, and the complaints procedure 100.
100 GRI 416-02 101 GRI 416-02 If a customer finds that the insurer was in breach of the insurance code and other good business practices and fundamental standards of the insurance profession, they may also lodge a complaint also with the insurance ombudsman at the Slovenian Insurance Association. In 2019, we received 14 complaints from the ombudsman. The complaints mainly refer to the handling of claims and delays in claims resolution101.
Zavarovalnica Sava has in place a system of reporting to the Office of the Republic of Slovenia for the Prevention of Money Laundering and an internal line for reporting suspected money laundering or terrorist financing to allow for prompt notification of the anti-money laundering and counter terrorist financing officer (hereinafter: AML/CTF officer) regarding the transactions or business relationships that show signs of suspected money laundering or terrorist financing. This area is governed by the internal "Rules on prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing" and in subordinate operative internal acts.
All other Group companies also introduced anti-money laundering measures, both by adopting internal rules and by employee training on the relevant local legislation.

According to the information received the GDPR had already been adopted by two countries and two were planning to adopt it by the end of 2019. The compliance officer will continue to follow up on the adoption of the new data protection legislation in Montenegro and the Republic of North Macedonia, and will coordinate, if so required, the transfer of good practices from the companies in Slovenia (in particular Zavarovalnica Sava) to the subsidiaries based in non-EU countries.
The largest Group company, Zavarovalnica Sava, fully complies with the GDPR and the Personal Data Protection Act (ZVOP), both of which require responsible handling of customers' personal data. Its appointed data protection officer (DPO) complies with the adopted "Rules on the role and responsibilities of the data protection officer (DPO)". The Company defined the fundamental principles and rules of conduct concerning personal data protection in its "Privacy policy" and the "Rules on personal data protection". The rules define the responsibilities of the data protection officer, their deputies and assistants (DPO team) and the DPO's consultants. The DPO team meets twice a month in regular meetings to discuss the topical issues concerning personal data protection in Zavarovalnica Sava.
In 2019, Zavarovalnica Sava adopted the "Workplace privacy policy", which serves as the fundamental principle guiding Zavarovalnica Sava as an employer and data controller in ensuring privacy and lawful processing of personal data, and as a reference for employees in exercising their rights.

Two breaches or so-called self-reports via the prescribed breach notification form for an identified (potential) major personal data breach were forwarded to the Information Commissioner of the Republic of Slovenia in Zavarovalnica Sava in 2019.
No such incidents were reported for other subsidiaries.
In line with the adopted "Code of ethics" and the rules on sponsorship and donations, Sava Re and Zavarovalnica Sava do not finance political parties, which applies to all subsidiaries in the Group.

The Sava Insurance Group companies registered in the Republic of Slovenia have in place internal acts that prescribe the procedures and measures for the protection of personal data and define the persons responsible for specific personal databases as well as persons that may process certain personal data due to the nature of their work. The data is properly protected through technical and organisational measures designed to ensure their confidentiality, integrity and availability. The companies subject to these measures also appointed data protection officers (DPOs) responsible for providing advice regarding and supervision over personal data protection.
In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group compliance officer enquired with compliance officers of non-EU subsidiaries as to whether their company had adopted an internal personal data protection act and whether this act had been reviewed by the local regulator, and if so, what their findings consisted of. The compliance officer found that all non-EU based companies had adopted internal personal data protection acts and regularly adapted them to legislative changes. The companies did not report any deficiencies observed by the local data protection supervisor. Based on this information the compliance officer finds that the companies are familiar with the personal data protection legislation and that the risk of violating this legislation is adequately managed.
The Sava Insurance Group compliance officer enquired with compliance officers of non-EU subsidiaries as to whether the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which became directly applicable in the EU on 25 May 2018 (and applies also to non-EU companies that do business with EU residents or process their personal data) would be transposed to the local legislation in their respective countries.

The Sava Insurance Group members forge strong ties with the community in which they operate, establishing a partnership with their environment and society. They support their communities through projects with which they help institutions financially or with volunteer work, and thus actively participate in the broader social context.
Having already developed an extensive business network, Group companies can more easily recognise the needs and potentials of local communities. Certain members of our Group are the co-founders of the Network for Social Responsibility of Slovenia, members of the Institute for the Development of Social Responsibility and members of the Partnership for National Strategy and Social Responsibility.105
With Zavarovalnica Sava's Violet Little Ones (Vijol'čnitamali) project the dreams of young sports fans come true. The project enables them to go to the football pitch hand-in-hand with their football idols at every home game.
In 2019, we launched the "Loneliness" ("Osamljenost") project, an initiative aimed at training the employees at the Contact-Assistance Centre how to respond to calls from people in distress. Other companies with call centres will be invited to join the initiative. We will show them how the loneliness issue was addressed at Zavarovalnica Sava, because we believe everyone should have access to support when they need it the most.
Other subsidiaries also support their local communities with sponsorships and donations, becoming increasingly recognised as socially responsible companies. These efforts have won several companies numerous commendations as well as awards. One of the more prominent is the Iskra Philanthropy Award that was conferred on Sava Osiguranje in Montenegro by the Fund for Active Citizenship (Fond za aktivno građanstvo).
The most important sponsorships and donations comprise:

Montenegrin companies allocate the bulk of these resources to road safety, with Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro) being the owner of the subsidiary Sava Car with which it has established a joint network of ten vehicle inspection centres.
Similarly, subsidiary Sava Station in North Macedonia also has two vehicle inspection centres.
A comprehensive offer of vehicle inspection and registration, with car insurance taken out upon vehicle inspection provided through our subsidiaries, contributes to better road safety.

In Zavarovalnica Sava road safety measures are taken also when using company vehicles. Pursuant to the internal "Rules on procurement, use and maintenance of company vehicles" all new company vehicles must have an integrated hands-free phone system. This reduces the risk of negative consequences of using a mobile phone while driving. All company vehicles in Zavarovalnica Sava are fitted with a fire extinguisher, although this is not yet mandatory in the Republic of Slovenia.

Preventive projects have a significant impact on the insurance industry as they reduce the likelihood of loss events and raise awareness of the general public of the importance of protection of property and health of our clients and the wider community. For this purpose the insurance companies create special funds for such projects, in line with the local legislation. Such funds are in place in Slovenia, the Republic of Serbia and Montenegro.
In Zavarovalnica Sava, most of these assets go to fire prevention, as the company supports a number of fire brigades both at the local and the national level.
The bulk of prevention resources in Serbia is also allocated to fire protection.
Noteworthy in terms of road safety is our cooperation with the national automobile association AMZS, through which Zavarovalnica Sava contributed to better road safety in 2019 as well. Two major projects:

The Sava Insurance Group supports corporate volunteerism. Its major volunteer project is Sava Re Day, which has been bringing together employees from all Group members for nine years running and which most genuinely embodies our promise "Never alone" – in good spirits, with busy hands and a sympathetic ear for people who need our help. In collaboration with local organisations and associations we invest our efforts in helping less privileged groups and individuals in our society through intergenerational programmes and by assisting in renovations or minor repair and maintenance jobs. We believe that we can significantly help local communities by involving employees in such projects, and at the same time raise awareness of the importance of sustainability and environment protection among our employees. Sava Re Day is not only about corporate social responsibility, it also promotes social responsibility in each and every employee.
In 2019, the Save Re Day was part of the pan-Slovenian Day of Change organised by the Slovene Philanthropy – Association for the Promotion of Voluntary Work, under the auspices of Sava Re and Zavarovalnica Sava. The focus of the Day of Change was "Eliminate discrimination", so the Slovene Philanthropy prepared activities involving various discriminated target groups. The Save Re Day was held on 5 April 2019 (several open-air activities had to be put off due to bad weather) and attended by all Group companies operating in Slovenia and the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava. Other Group companies organised the Save Re Day as close as possible to World Water Day (22 March).

Save Re Day embodies our promise "Never alone" through volunteerism, making those in need around us happier.

In addition to Sava Re Day volunteer activities, Zavarovalnica Sava carried out two additional humanitarian projects in 2019 with the participation of its employees:
In the framework of their humanitarian projects all non-EU companies organise Sava Re Day, in which our employees also participate with a helping hand. In North Macedonia, 27 employees from both companies took part in the run with children with Down syndrome, 29 employees donated blood, some of them restored benches in the city park and planted trees.
Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro) employees participate in blood drives twice a year. Their contribution to Sava Re Day was the renovation of the city park in the city of Berane, with 110 employees participating in the project.

On Sava Re Day, Zavarovalnica Sava helped at more than 38 locations, with more than 800 employees participating.
Alongside them were also employees from Sava Pokojninska and TBS Team 24.
Given the response of employees and external organisations, Sava Re Day was once again a success. The objective – to help those in need through personal engagement and to raise awareness of the importance of sustainability – was clearly achieved.

The slogan of the fourth Zavarovalnica Sava event "Sharing Christmas" was "Sharing Christmas, sharing knowledge". It is extremely encouraging to see how children absorb knowledge from their elders and how happy the elderly are to pass it on.
Mixed utility and biodegradable waste, and mixed and glass packaging in Zavarovalnica Sava is collected by the local municipal companies.
Other waste in Zavarovalnica Sava branch offices was collected by authorised or registered waste collectors or processors.
The large volume of mixed construction and demolition waste is due to the renovation of large business premises and is not associated with regular business processes.
Discarded electronic devices are collected by service providers who replace them, or their contractors who service them; if not, they are taken over by registered waste collectors or processors of such waste at the location of Zavarovalnica Sava.
As our battery consumption is low, batteries are collected for several years before they are properly consigned.
Zavarovalnica Sava uses remanufactured cartridges for printing and copying. The supplier collects the empty cartridges and reconditions them for reuse.
Slovenia-based companies separate waste according to the instructions of the local utility company. Non-EU based companies have an electronic waste disposal service provider, whereas waste separation and removal are provided by public utility companies.

Concern for the natural environment, environmental issues, climate change and related weather phenomena have a profound impact on the global insurance industry. Environmental problems bring new and unexpected risks in the insurance sector. The Group is aware this requires urgent action in daily operations, both in practice and in strategic terms.
Sava Re has in place a waste separation system undergoing ongoing improvements. Also, the Company takes measures to reduce waste. One of those is a water bottle for each employee. We are going paperless, reducing paper consumption and waste paper. We have electronic pay slips, and materials for management bodies and similar are prepared only in electronic form. We cannot yet measure the volume of waste by type, as waste is collected for the entire building, which accommodates a number of other legal entities.

Data by year is not entirely comparable, as the measurement methodology changed in 2019. As much as 20% of data on municipal waste is an estimated volume assessed relative to the cost of utility services due to the change in the invoicing by public utility companies.
A more significant investment in reducing energy consumption was moving Zavarovalnica Sava's business premises to the address Tivolska 48, where the two-pipe heating system was replaced during renovation with a four-pipe system, which enables simultaneous heating of cold offices and cooling of warm
114 GRI 103-01, 103-02, 103-03, 305-01, 305-02, 305-03
offices on the south-facing side. To ensure sufficient energy for heating and cooling we had an additional energy-efficient heat pump installed. All connections to the central consumption meter in the building (water, heating, cooling) are fitted with meters that accurately measure and monitor consumption.
In 2019, the Sava Insurance Group took the first steps towards introducing a methodology for calculating its carbon footprint. The methodology is based on the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, the most widely used greenhouse gas accounting standard.
In 2019, we thus calculated the carbon footprint for Sava Re and Sava Pokojninska Družba. Our goal for the next strategic period is to have all Group companies adopt the methodology.
The calculation demonstrated that the majority of emissions generated by Sava Re come from business travel (58%), especially air travel, which is not surprising given the international character of its business operations. The share of emissions attributed to energy consumption (20%) is almost the same as that attributed to heating (22%).
The share of emissions attributed to business travel is even higher at Sava Pokojninska (88% of total emissions), mainly on account of car travel. On the other hand, the emissions they generate through energy consumption and heating are below average emissions generated by organisations with similar office activity.
Indirectly, the Group can contribute to emission reduction also through its investment policy and by investing in green projects. Three such projects resulted in 940 tons less CO2 emissions a year. These projects are:
113 GRI 302-01
Energy consumption and energy efficiency is both an environmental and economic concern.
In 2019, Sava Re selected a qualified contractor to perform the Company's energy review and prepare a report with proposals for improving its energy efficiency.
The Sava Insurance Group remains committed to sustainability also in investing and maintenance of investments.
When buying new business premises in Montenegro, the project group that negotiated with the seller paid particular attention to having the facility fitted with energy efficient devices (lights, energy efficient window coverings, furniture in light, warm colours, meters monitoring consumption and similar). The new premises also come with a modern energy efficient heating and cooling system.
The rationale behind maintaining or replacing investments is always assessed also in terms of energy efficiency. For example, when Zavarovalnica Sava replaced the cooling gas aggregate in its business building in Novo Mesto with an electric one, it considerably reduced its gas consumption, while Sava Osiguranje (SRB) installed a recuperator and thus increased energy efficiency.

nological level of the new generation data warehouse of the Company and the Group. In 2019 we started to gradually move contents from the existing data warehouse and add new business contents, based on more complex technical and organisational data quality criteria.
The infrastructure provided support to operations, improved the system software and hardware infrastructure in accordance with the business plan, and carried out upgrades in line with the amortisation cycle and the requirements supporting ongoing business, and planned IT development projects.
Information security was enhanced in accordance with business requirements. We prepared the relevant baselines for projects planned for the next strategic period, when this area will receive significant attention.
In business continuity, we successfully carried out the tasks we set ourselves.
In IT management, we refined the management of development requests, IT architecture, internal controls and risks, and improved the process of controlling IT costs and investments. We expanded the use of independent expert complementary opinion when making more complex decisions.
The self-audit system became a standard part of the internal audit and IT risk management systems across the Group.
As regards human resources, the situation is stable and we do not experience difficulties in attracting new people and external partners, even though this is becoming an increasingly pressing general problem.
In addition to supporting business and regulatory requirements of companies, business application development focused on the upgrade of IT processes in change management in the software development, and in the verification of the appropriateness of business solutions for various thematic areas. In 2019 we launched the project of replacing the IT solution for asset management at the Group level, IT solution for life/ non-life in a subsidiary and the selection process for a new reinsurance solution.

On 27 February 2019, Zavarovalnica Sava satisfied all suspensive conditions, becoming the sole owner of the companies Ergo Osiguranje and Ergo Životno Osiguranje. The first consolidated accounts of the Sava Insurance Group after the Croatian companies joined the Group were prepared as at 31 March 2019. The gain on the bargain purchase determined upon the acquisition of ERGO companies totalled EUR 7.5 million. This gain resulted from the difference between the purchase price determined using the discounted cash flow method and the net value of assets established in the acquisition. In November 2019 the Group transferred the portfolio of insurance contracts from the acquired companies to the Croatia-based branch office of Zavarovalnica Sava, after which the ERGO companies were transformed into limited liability companies and are expected to be wound up in the next year. Through the acquisition of insurance companies the Group increased its market share in insurance business in Croatia, and by transferring the portfolio to the subsidiary of Zavarovalnica Sava the Group will optimise its operations in Croatia and realise synergies resulting from the growth in the volume of insurance business.
In June 2019, Sava Re acquired an 85% stake in the investment fund management company KBM Infond (now Sava Infond). The first consolidated accounts of the Sava Insurance Group after Sava Infond joined the Group were prepared as at 30 June 2019. Sava Infond serves over 80,000 investors and manages assets in excess of EUR 300 million in the Infond Umbrella Fund, which is made up of 22 sub-funds offering diverse investment schemes. In terms of the number of funds and assets under management, Infond, with a market share of approximately 12%, ranks among the largest asset managers in Slovenia. This acquisition is a further step in the Sava Insurance Group's strategy of acquisitions-based growth in asset management, an important pillar of the Group's operations other than insurance business. The acquisition of Infond will allow the Sava Insurance Group to further expand and develop its asset management operations. On the first consolidation, income of EUR 2.7 million was recognised on the revaluation of the 15% stake in Sava Infond held by Zavarovalnica Sava.
In 2019, the subsidiary Sava Terra was merged into Zavarovalnica Sava. This merger had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements are set out below. In 2019, the Group applied the same accounting policies as in 2018, except for lease contracts, which are measured in accordance with IFRS 16. As for the implementation of IFRS 9, the Group applied the temporary exemption until the adoption of IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts". For more information, see section 17.5.
The consolidated and separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), and interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee's (IFRIC), as adopted by the European Union. They have also been prepared in accordance with applicable Slovenian legislation (the Companies Act, ZGD-1).
Interested parties can obtain information on the financial condition and results of operations of the Sava Insurance Group by consulting the annual report. Annual reports are available on Sava Re's website and at its registered office.
In selecting and applying accounting policies, as well as in preparing the financial statements, the management board of the controlling company aims at providing understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable accounting information.
The financial statements have been prepared based on the going-concern assumption.
The Company's management board approved the audited financial statements on 20 March 2020.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historic cost basis, except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss, and available-for-sale financial assets, which are measured at fair value. Assets of policyholders who bear the investment risk are also measured at fair value.
The financial statements are presented in euros (EUR) without cents. The euro is the functional and presentation currency of the Group companies. Due to rounding, figures in tables may not add up to the totals.
The controlling company prepared both separate and consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2019. The consolidated financial statements include Sava Re as the controlling company and all its subsidiaries, i.e. companies in which Sava Re holds, directly or indirectly, more than half of the voting rights and has the power to control their financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities.
All subsidiaries in the Sava Insurance Group are fully consolidated.
The financial year of the Group is the same as the calendar year.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated as of the date of obtaining control and are deconsolidated as of the date that such control is lost.
At the time of an entity's first consolidation, its assets and liabilities are measured at fair value. Goodwill is measured as the excess of the fair value of the consideration effectively transferred over the net amount of the acquirer's (controlling company's) interest in the fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less any impairment losses.
When acquiring a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary (when the Group already holds a controlling interest), the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The Group recognises any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted, and the fair value of the consideration paid directly in equity, and attributes it to the owners of the controlling company. The difference between cost and the carrying amount of the non-controlling interest is accounted for in equity under capital reserves.
Profits earned and losses made by subsidiaries are included in the Group's income statement. Intra-Group transactions (receivables and liabilities, expenses and income between the consolidated companies) have been eliminated.
18 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
Technical provisions calculation and liability adequacy tests pertaining to insurance contracts are shown in sections 17.4.24–26. Movements in these provisions are shown in note 24.
The Company Sava Re has recognised an error in its previous periods. As a consequence, it restated comparative amounts from previous periods, i.e. for the year ended 31 December 2018 and restated opening balances as at 1 January 2018, as shown in the statement of financial position in section 16.1.
In section 17.11 of the notes to the financial statements, the Company has additionally disclosed balances as previously reported as at 31 December 2017, the adjustment due to the recognised error, the restated balance as at 1 January 2018, and balances as reported as at 31 December 2018, adjustment due to recognised error, restated as at 31 December 2018.
The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method. The cash flow statement has been prepared as the sum of all cash flows of all Group companies less any inter-Group cash flows. Cash flows from operating activities have been prepared based on data from the 2019 statement of financial position and income statement, with appropriate adjustments for items that do not constitute cash flows. Cash flows from financing activities are shown based on actual disbursements. Items relating to changes in net operating assets are shown in net amounts.
Intangible assets, except goodwill, are stated at cost, including any expenses directly attributable to preparing them for their intended use, less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated for each item separately, on a straight-line basis, except for goodwill, which is not amortised. Intangible assets are first amortised upon their availability for use.
Intangible assets include computer software, licences pertaining to computer software (with useful life assumed to be five years). In case of recognition of a specific intangible asset with a longer useful life (customer list), the useful life is defined in a separate valuation report.
Assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2019 denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into euros using the mid-rates of the European Central Bank (hereinafter: "ECB") as at 31 December 2019. Amounts in the income statements have been translated using the average exchange rate. As at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2019, they were translated using the then applicable mid-rates of the ECB. Foreign exchange differences arising on settlement of transactions and on translation of monetary assets and liabilities are recognised in the income statement. Exchange rate differences associated with non-monetary items, such as equity securities carried at fair value through profit or loss, are also recognised in the income statement, while exchange rate differences associated with equity securities classified as available for sale are recognised in the fair value reserve. Since equity items in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019 are translated using the exchange rates of the ECB on that day and since interim movements are translated using the average exchange rates of the ECB, any differences arising therefrom are disclosed in the equity item translation reserve.
Assumptions and other sources of uncertainty relate to estimates that require management to make complex, subjective and comprehensive judgements. Areas that involve significant management judgement are presented below.
An assessment is made annually to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is made. The recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount exceeds or is equal to the carrying amount, the asset is not impaired. Value in use is assessed in terms of a cash-generating unit, with a company as a whole constituting a cash-generating unit.
Gains and losses on the disposal of items of property, plant and equipment, calculated as the difference between sales proceeds and carrying amounts, are included in profit or loss. The costs of property, plant and equipment maintenance and repairs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Investments in property, plant and equipment assets that increase future economic benefits are recognised in their carrying amount.
As of 1 January 2019, assets include rightof-use assets at the present value of future lease payments due to the implementation of the new standard IFRS 16 and the recognition of lease liability. Right-of-use assets are amortised through value adjustments in the amount equalling depreciation calculated based on the lease term. Lease liability is increased by interest expense calculated on the lease liability and decreased by lease payments made. Right-of-use assets and lease liability are recognised in net amount, excluding taxes. Group companies recognise payments for short-term and low-value leases as an expense.
As of 1 January 2019, the Group companies recognise right-of-use assets relating to long-term leases (more than one year) in excess of EUR 5,000 and lease liability. The value of the right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, and an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset. All lease contracts have been reviewed, examining the right to control the use of an identified asset for a definite period. The lease term is either set in the contract or estimated, if the lease contract is entered into for an indefinite period or has an extension option. The rightof-use assets are calculated as discounted future cash flows of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease liability is also recognised. The applied discount rate consists of the incremental borrowing rate and takes into account the company's credit rating and lease term, and country risk for Group companies outside Slovenia.
The cost model is applied, where the rightof-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability using a revised discount rate. Upon the initial application of the standard the Group companies used the modified approach.
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries. In acquisitions, goodwill relates to the excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired company. If the excess is negative (badwill), it is recognised directly in the income statement. The recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit so calculated is compared against its carrying amount, including goodwill belonging to such unit. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.
A cash-generating unit consists of an individual company. Movement in goodwill is discussed in detail in note 1 of section 17.7.
Goodwill of associate companies is included in their carrying amount. Any impairment losses on goodwill of associate companies are treated as impairment losses on investments in associate companies.
Section 17.7, note 1, sets out the main assumptions for cash flow projections used in the calculation of the value in use.
Property, plant and equipment assets are initially recognised at cost, including cost directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. Subsequently, the cost model is applied: assets are carried at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment assets are first depreciated upon their availability for use. Depreciation is calculated for each item separately, on a straight-line basis. Depreciation rates are determined so as to allow the cost of property, plant and equipment assets to be allocated over their estimated useful lives.
| Depreciation group | Rate |
|---|---|
| Land | 0% |
| Buildings | 1.3–2% |
| Transportation | 15.5–20% |
| Computer equipment | 33.0% |
| Office and other furniture | 10–12.5% |
| Other equipment | 6.7–20% |
Investment property comprises assets not used directly for carrying out business activities but held to earn rent or to realise capital gains at disposal. Investment property is accounted for using the cost model and straight-line depreciation. Investment property is depreciated at the rate of 1.3–2%. The basis for calculating the depreciation rate is the estimated useful life. All leases where the Group companies act as lessors are cancellable operating leases. Payments and/or rentals received are recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A cash-generating unit consists of an individual property. An assessment is made annually as to whether there is an indication of impairment of investment property. If any such indication exists, an estimate of the recoverable amount of the asset is made. The recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use and the net selling price less costs to sell. If the recoverable amount exceeds or is equal to the carrying amount, the asset is not impaired.
The Group companies measure the fair value of investment property using fair value models.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are initially recognised at fair value. Subsequently, the Company measures them using the cost model less any impairment losses.
Subsidiaries are entities in which the Company holds more than 50% of voting rights and which the Company controls, i.e. has the power to control their financial and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from their activities. Associates are entities in which the Company holds between 20% and 50% of voting rights or over which the Company has significant influence.
Impairment testing in Group companies and associates is carried out at least on an annual basis. Pursuant to IAS 36, the controlling company, when reviewing whether there are indications that an asset may be impaired, considers external (changes in market or legal environment, interest rates, elements of the discount rate, capitalisation) as well as internal sources of information (business volume, manner of use of asset, actual versus budgeted performance results, decline in expected cash flows and such like).
A non-current asset is classified as held for sale if its carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. For this to be the case, its sale must be highly probable and it must be available for immediate sale in its present condition. There must be a commitment to sell the asset and the sale should be completed within one year. Such assets are measured at the lower of the assets' carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are not depreciated.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are amounts of income taxes expected to be recoverable or payable, respectively, in future periods depending on taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base.
Deferred tax assets are established for temporary non-deductible impairments of portfolio investments. Deferred tax assets are additionally established for impairment losses on receivables, unused tax losses and for provisions for employees. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for catastrophe equalisation reserves transferred from technical provisions to profit reserves (as at 1 January 2007), which were tax-deductible when set aside (prior to 1 January 2007).
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established also for the part of value adjustments recorded under fair value reserve. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are also accounted for actuarial gains or losses arising on the calculation of provisions for severance pay upon retirement. This is because actuarial gains and losses, and the related deferred tax assets or liabilities, affect comprehensive income.
A Group company sets off deferred tax assets and liabilities, provided that the criteria have been satisfied. The Group does not set off deferred tax assets and liabilities in its consolidated financial statements.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. In 2019, no deferred tax assets of this kind were recognised.
In 2019, deferred tax assets and liabilities were accounted for using tax rates that the management believes will be used to tax the differences. The tax rate applicable for most Group companies (Slovenia) is 19% (2018: 19%), and 9–18% for other companies.
The discount factors used in 2019 ranged from 8.3% to 10.9%.
The residual value after the projection period was calculated based on a long-term growth rate ranging from 0.3% to 2.0%. For Slovenia-based companies this growth rate is based on the average risk-free rate of return totalling 0.3%; for other markets it totals 2.0% and is based on long-run inflation expectations.
The recoverable amount of Zavarovalnica Sava was not revalued, as it had been determined in previous years that as a result of highly profitable business operations the value in use materially exceeds the carrying amount. In 2019, the company further improved the profitability of its business operations and plans to continue this trend in the future.
Assessments as to whether there is any indication of impairment of investments in subsidiaries are made using the same model as for goodwill. For more information on the assumptions, see section 17.4.7 of the financial statements with notes.
Financial assets are classified into the following categories:
This category consists of the following two sub-categories:
Financial assets held for trading comprise instruments that have been acquired exclusively for the purpose of trading, i.e. realising gains in the short term. Financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss comprise subordinated financial assets, primarily because they provide the issuer with the option of early redemption, and assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk.
If impairment is necessary, an impairment test is carried out for each individual investment by calculating the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit based on the value in use. Cash flow projections used in these calculations are based on the business plans approved by the respective management for the period until and including 2024, as well as on extrapolations of growth rates for an additional five-year period for insurance and pension companies. The projection for insurance and pension companies exceeds five years as we believe that the markets in which Group insurance and pension companies operate have not matured to the level that would allow us to believe that they will achieve a normal volume of business in the period of five years. The discount rate used is based on market rates adjusted to reflect company-specific risks. The recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit so calculated was compared to its carrying amount.
Discounted cash flow projections are based on the Group companies' five-year business projections (strategic business plans for individual companies for the period 2020– 2024) with a further five-year extrapolation for insurance and pension companies. A tenyear projection for insurance and pension business allows us to estimate a normalised cash flow based on which we can estimate the residual value in perpetuity.
Growth in premiums earned by insurance companies reflects the growth expected in their insurance markets, as well as the characteristics of their portfolios (a small proportion of non-motor business). In all their markets, insurance penetration is relatively low. However, insurance penetration is expected to increase due to the expected convergence of their countries' macroeconomic indicators towards EU levels. Social inflation is also expected to rise, i.e. claims made against insurance companies are expected to become more frequent and higher. Costs are expected to lag slightly behind premiums owing to expected business process optimisation in subsidiaries. Business process optimisation will thus contribute to the growth in net profits.
Growth in pension companies' revenues is due to increased contributions to pension funds as a result of demographic trends, at relatively fixed operating costs. This leads to higher profitability and requires an extension of the period in which we can determine a normalised cash flow based on which we can estimate the residual value in perpetuity.
The discount rate is determined as the cost of equity (COE), using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). It is based on the risk-free interest rate and equity premium, as well as prospects for the relevant business. Added are the country risk premium and a size premium.
All financial instruments are measured at fair value, except for deposits, shares not quoted in any regulated market that constitute the non-material portion of the investment portfolio, loans (assuming that their carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value) and financial instruments held to maturity, which are measured at amortised cost. The fair value of investment property, and land and buildings used in business operations and the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortised cost are set out in note 29. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either (i) in the principal market for the asset or liability, or (ii) in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Group. The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use. Valuation techniques are used that
are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of unobservable inputs.
On the valuation date, the fair value of a financial investment is established by determining the price in the principal market based on:
Assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements are measured and presented in accordance with the IFRS 13 fair-value hierarchy that categorises the inputs of valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels.
Assets and liabilities are classified in accordance with IFRS 13 based primarily on the availability of market information, which is determined by the relative levels of trading identical or similar instruments in the market, with a focus on information that represents actual market activity or binding quotations of brokers or dealers.
Held-to-maturity financial assets are assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group companies have the intention and ability to hold to maturity.
Available-for-sale financial assets are assets that are intended to be held for an indefinite period and are not classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss or as held to maturity financial assets.
This category includes loans and bank deposits with fixed or determinable payments that are not traded in any active market, and deposits with cedants. Under some reinsurance contracts, part of the reinsurance premium is retained by cedants as guarantee for payment of future claims, and generally released after one year. These deposits bear contractually agreed interest.
Available-for-sale financial assets and held-to-maturity financial assets are initially measured at fair value plus any transaction costs. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value, with any transaction costs recognised as investment expenses.
Acquisitions and disposals of financial assets, loans and deposits are recognised on the trade date.
Gains and losses arising from fair value revaluation of financial assets available for sale are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, and transferred to the income statement upon disposal or impairment. Gains and losses arising from fair value revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised directly in the income statement.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or when the assets are transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with IAS 39.
Loans and receivables (deposits) and held-to-maturity financial assets are measured at amortised cost.
CONTENTS
18 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
If the second condition above is met, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss as the difference between the potential payment out of the bankruptcy or liquidation estate and the cost of the investment. The potential payment out of the bankruptcy or liquidation estate is estimated based on information concerning the bankruptcy, liquidation or compulsory settlement proceedings, or, if such information is not available, based on experience or estimates made by a credit rating or other financial institution.
In respect of debt securities, only impairment losses recognised pursuant to indent one above (first condition) may be reversed. An impairment loss is reversed when the issuer's liability is settled. Impairment losses are reversed through profit or loss.
Equity investments (other than equity investments at fair value through profit or loss) are impaired when any of the following conditions are met:
An impairment loss is recognised in the amount of the difference between market price and carrying amount of a financial instrument.
The amount of the reinsurers' share of technical provisions represents the proportion of gross technical provisions and unearned premiums for transactions that the Group cedes to reinsurers and co-insurers outside the Sava Insurance Group. The amount is determined at the close of each accounting period in accordance with the provisions of co-insurance and reinsurance (retrocession) contracts and in line with movements in the portfolio, based on gross technical provisions for the business that is the subject of these contracts.
Assets are tested for impairment on the reporting date. Assets ceded to individual partners are tested individually. For an estimation of retrocession risks, see section 17.6.2.1.4 "Risk of inadequate retention and reinsurance programme".
Investments measured or disclosed at fair value are presented in accordance with the levels of fair value under IFRS 13, which categorises the inputs used to measure fair value into the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:
The policy of determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred is disclosed and fully complied with. Policy on the timing of recognising transfers is the same for transfers into the levels as that for transfers out of the levels. Examples of policies include: (a) the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer; (b) the beginning of the reporting period; (c) the end of the reporting period.
A financial asset other than at fair value through profit or loss is impaired and an impairment loss incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and if such events have an impact on future cash flows that can be reliably estimated. An assessment is made quarterly as to whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired (when preparing interim and annual reports).
Investments in debt securities (other than investments in debt securities at fair value through profit or loss) are impaired when any of the following conditions are met:
If the first condition above is met, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss in the amount of the difference between the discounted value of expected cash flows from a debt security and carrying amount of the debt security (if the carrying amount exceeds the discounted value of expected future cash flows).
of attachment, a written agreement with or payments by the policyholder or debtor, or subrogation for credit risk insurance). Even if subrogation is applicable, recourse receivables are recognised only after the debtor's existence has been verified and the debtor is contactable. Recognition of principal amounts to which recourse receivables relate decreases claims paid. Group companies recognise impairment losses on recourse receivables based on past experience. Recourse receivables are tested for impairment on a case-by-case basis.
The Group companies have pledged no receivables as security.
Receivables are classified into groups with similar credit risk in order to be assessed in terms of recoverability or impairment. All material items of receivables are subject to this assessment. An allowance is created for receivables expected not to be collectible in full or in part. Such receivables are recognised as doubtful. In case of litigation, such receivables are recognised as disputable; allowances are established for such receivables and charged against operating expenses from revaluation.
In addition to age, the method of accounting for allowances takes into account the phase of the collection procedure, historical data on the percentage of write-offs made and the ratio of recoverability. Assumptions are reviewed at least annually.
Acquisition costs that are deferred include that part of operating expenses directly associated with policy underwriting.
Deferred acquisition costs consist primarily of deferred commissions. These are invoiced commissions relating to the next financial year and are recognised based on (re) insurance accounts and estimated amounts obtained based on estimated commissions taking into account straight-line amortisation.
Other assets consist of capitalised shortterm accruals and deferrals, namely shortterm deferred costs.
The statement of financial position and cash flow item "cash and cash equivalents" comprises:
Investment contract assets and liabilities only include the investment contract assets and liabilities of the company Sava Pokojninska. Investment contract assets comprise the assets supporting the liability funds "Moji Skladi Življenjskega Cikla" for the transaction of voluntary supplementary pension business that are measured in accordance with IFRS 9. On initial recognition, investment contract assets are classified as either assets at fair value through profit or loss or as held-to-maturity assets. The amounts are adjusted for the purpose of consolidation in line with the financial investment policies set out in section 17.4.14. Classification and valuation of assets is presented in detail in note 8. Investment contract liabilities comprise liabilities arising out of pension insurance business under group and individual plans for voluntary supplementary pension insurance, for which the administrator maintains personal accounts for pension plan members. Sava Pokojninska is required to establish mathematical provisions to cover these liabilities. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for assets on policyholders' personal accounts (net contributions and return) and additional liabilities to cover the difference between the actual and guaranteed rate of return. Investment contract liabilities are presented in note 10.
Sava Pokojninska initially recognises investment property assets under investment contract assets using the cost model, plus any transaction costs. Subsequent measurements are made using the fair value model, as prescribed by legislation. Appraisals are carried out at least once every three years by certified real estate appraisers licensed by the Slovenian Institute of Auditors.
Receivables consist mainly of premium receivables due from policyholders or insurers as well as receivables for claims and commissions due from reinsurers.
Receivables are initially recognised based on issued policies, invoices or other authentic documents (e.g. confirmed reinsurance or co-insurance accounts). In financial statements, receivables are reported in net amounts, i.e. net of any allowances made.
Receivables arising out of reinsurance business are recognised when inwards premiums or claims and commissions relating to retrocession business are invoiced to cedants or reinsurers, respectively. For existing reinsurance contracts for which no confirmed invoices have been received from cedants or reinsurers, receivables are recognised in line with policies outlined in sections 17.4.30 "Net premiums earned" and 17.4.31 "Net claims incurred".
Recourse receivables are recognised as assets only if, on the basis of a recourse claim, an appropriate legal basis exists (a final order
In the statement of financial position technical provisions are shown in gross amounts under liabilities. The share of technical provisions for the business ceded to non-Group reinsurers is shown in the statement of financial position under the asset item reinsurers' share of technical provisions. Technical provisions must be set at an amount that provides reasonable assurance that liabilities from assumed (re)insurance contracts can be met. The main principles used in calculations are described below.
Unearned premiums are the portions of premiums written pertaining to periods after the accounting period. Unearned premiums are calculated on a pro rata temporis basis at insurance policy level, except for decreasing term contracts (credit life). Since there is generally insufficient data available for accepted reinsurance business at the individual policy level, the fractional value method is used for calculating unearned premiums at the level of individual reinsurance accounts for periods for which premiums are written.
Mathematical provisions for life insurance contracts represent the actuarial value of obligations arising from policyholders' guaranteed entitlements. In most cases, they are calculated using the net Zillmer method with the same parameters as those used for premium calculation, except for the discount rate applied, which was a technical interest rate of at least 1.25%. Other parameters are the same as those used in the premium calculation. Any calculated negative liabilities arising out of mathematical provisions are set to nil. The Zillmer method was used for amortising acquisition costs. The calculation of mathematical provisions is based on the assumption that the full agent commission was paid upon the conclusion of the contract, while agents actually receive the commission within two to five years, depending on the policy term. The mathematical provision includes all deferred commissions. Deferred policy acquisition expenses are shown under assets, in the event of commission prepayments, or show the difference between the positive Zillmerised mathematical provision and the Zillmerised mathematical provision.
Provisions for outstanding claims (claims provision) are established in the amount of expected liabilities for incurred but not settled claims, including loss adjustment expenses. These comprise provisions both for reported claims, which are calculated based on case estimates, and claims incurred but not reported (IBNR), which are calculated using actuarial methods. Future liabilities are generally not discounted, with the exception of the part relating to annuities under certain liability insurance contracts. In such cases, the related provisions are established based on the expected net present value of future liabilities.
Reserves provided for by the articles of association are used:
Profit reserves also include catastrophe equalisation reserves set aside pursuant to the rules on technical provisions and capital reserves as approved by appointed actuaries. These are tied-up reserves and their distribution cannot be decided in the general meeting.
Pursuant to the Companies Act, the Company's management board has the power to allocate up to half of the net profit to other reserves.
Subordinated liabilities represent a longterm liability of the Group in the form of a subordinated bond to be used for general corporate purposes of the Sava Insurance Group and for the optimisation of its capital structure.
The Group transacts traditional and unitlinked life business, non-life business and reinsurance business, the basic purpose of which is the transfer of underwriting risk. Underwriting risk is considered significant, if the occurrence of an insured event would result in significant additional payments. Accordingly, the Group classified all such contracts concluded as insurance contracts. Proportional reinsurance contracts represent a risk that is identical to the underlying insurance policies, which are insurance contracts. Since non-proportional reinsurance contracts provide for the payment of significant additional pay-outs in case of loss events, they also qualify as insurance contracts.
These are provisions for unit-linked life business. They comprise mathematical provisions, unearned premiums and provisions for outstanding claims. The bulk comprises mathematical provisions. Their value is the aggregate value of all units of funds under all policies, including all premiums not yet converted into units, plus the discretionary bonuses of guaranteed funds managed by us. The value of funds is based on market value as at the statement of financial position date.
Adequacy testing of provisions set aside based on insurance contracts is conducted as at the financial statement date, separately for non-life and life business. The liability adequacy test for non-life business is described in section 17.4.24 "Technical provisions".
The liability adequacy test for life policies is carried out as a minimum at each reporting date against a calculation of future cash flows using explicit and consistent assumptions of all factors – future premiums, mortality, morbidity, investment returns, lapses, surrenders, guarantees, policyholder bonuses and expenses. For this purpose, the present value of future cash flows is used.
Discounting is based on the yield curve for euro area sovereign bonds at the statement of financial position date, but for EU Member States the risk-free yield curve of government bonds at the statement of financial position date, including a loading for the investment mix. Where reliable market data is available, assumptions (such as the discount rate and investment return) are derived from observable market prices. Assumptions that cannot be reliably derived from market values are based on current estimates calculated by reference to the Group's own internal models (lapse rates, actual mortality and morbidity) and publicly available resources (demographic information published by the local statistical bureau). For mortality, higher rates are anticipated than are realised due to uncertainty.
Input assumptions are updated annually based on recent experience. Correlations between risk factors are not taken into account. The principal assumptions used are described below.
Provisions for incurred but not reported claims are calculated for the major part of the portfolios of primary insurers using methods based on paid claims triangles; the result is the total claims provision, and the IBNR provision is calculated as the difference between the result of the triangle method and the provision based on case reserves. In classes where the volume of business is not large enough for reliable results from the triangle methods, the calculation is made based on either (i) the product of the expected number of subsequently reported claims and the average amount of subsequently reported claims or (ii) methods based on expected loss ratios. The consolidated IBNR provision also includes the IBNR provision for the proportion of business written outside the Group. For this part of the portfolio, technical categories based on reinsurance accounts are not readily available; therefore, it is necessary to estimate items that are received untimely, including claims provisions, taking into account expected premiums and expected combined ratios for each underwriting year, class of business and form of reinsurance as well as development triangles for underwriting years by accounting quarters; the IBNR provision is then established at the amount of the claims provision thus estimated.
The provision for outstanding claims is thus established based on statistical data and using actuarial methods; therefore, its calculation also constitutes a liability adequacy test.
The provision for bonuses, rebates and cancellations is intended for agreed and expected pay-outs due to good results of insurance contracts and expected payment due to cancellations in excess of unearned premiums.
Other technical provisions include the provision for unexpired risks derived from a liability adequacy test for unearned premiums, as described below.
Unearned premiums are deferred premiums based on coverage periods. If based on such a calculation the premium is deemed to be inadequate, the unearned premium is also inadequate. Group companies carry out liability adequacy tests for unearned premiums at the level of homogeneous groups appropriate to portfolios. The calculation of the expected combined ratio in any homogeneous group is based on premiums earned, claims incurred, commission expenses and other operating expenses. Where the expected combined ratio exceeds 100%, thus revealing a deficiency in unearned premiums, a corresponding provision for unexpired risks is set aside within other technical provisions.

The base run is calculated using the same assumptions as for liability adequacy testing. Changes in variables represent reasonable possible changes which, had they occurred, would have led to significant changes in insurance liabilities at the statement of financial position date. The reasonable possible changes represent neither expected changes in variables nor worst case scenarios. A change in key variables would affect the corresponding component of the result in the same proportion.
The analysis is prepared for the change in variables, with all other assumptions remaining unchanged, and ignores changes in the values of related assets. Sensitivity was calculated for an unfavourable direction of movement. The income statement and insurance liabilities (as shown in the LAT test) are mostly impacted by changes in the investment return, while unit-linked business is also impacted by changes in operating expenses.
Employee benefits include severance pay upon retirement and jubilee benefits. Provisions for employee benefits are the net present value of the Group's future liabilities proportionate to the years of service in the Group (the projected unit credit method). Pursuant to IAS 19 "Employee benefits" actuarial gains and losses arising on re-measurement of net liabilities for severance pay upon retirement are recognised in other comprehensive income.
These provisions are calculated based on personal data of employees: date of birth, date of commencement of employment in the Group, anticipated retirement, and salary. For each Group company, the amounts of severance pay upon retirement and jubilee benefits are in accordance with local legislations, employment contracts and other applicable regulations. Expected pay-outs also include tax liabilities where payments exceed statutory non-taxable amounts.
The liability adequacy test is performed on the policy and/or product level. If the test is performed at the policy level, the results are shown at the product-level, with products grouped by class of business. A company evaluates the test results separately for traditional insurance other than annuities, investment insurance and annuity insurance. The adequacy of liabilities is checked separately for each group of insurance products. In determining any additional liabilities to be established the liability inadequacies of individual groups are not offset against surpluses arising on other groups. The net present value of future cash flows calculated using the assumptions described below is compared with the insurance liabilities, for each group separately. If this comparison shows that the carrying amount of the insurance liabilities is inadequate in the light of the estimated cash flows, the entire deficiency is recognised in profit or loss by establishing an additional provision.
Mortality is usually based on data supplied by the local statistical bureau and amended by the Group based on a statistical investigation of its mortality experience. Assumptions for mortality and morbidity are adjusted by a margin for risk and are higher than actual.
Future contractual premiums are included and for most business also premium indexation is taken into consideration. Estimates for lapses and surrenders are made based on experience. Actual persistency rates by product type and duration are regularly investigated, and assumptions updated accordingly. The actual persistency rates are adjusted by a margin for risk and uncertainty.
Estimates for future maintenance expenses included in the liability adequacy test are derived from experience. For future periods, cash flows for expenses have been increased by a factor equal to the estimated annual inflation or have remained on the present level, taking into account the portfolio development.
Yield and the discount rate are based on the same yield curve; a loading for market development is added when discounting.
The liability adequacy test takes into account expected future discretionary bonuses. Expected future discretionary bonuses are aligned with the bonus methodology. The share of discretionary bonuses complies with internal rules and is treated as a discounted liability.
For most life policies estimates are made of the impact of changes in key variables that may have a material effect on the results of liability adequacy tests at the end of the year. Sensitivity analyses are prepared separately for traditional life business and investment-linked life business.
Estimates are made on the basis of amounts in reinsurance contracts, which, according to contractual due dates, have already accrued, although the Group has yet to receive reinsurance accounts. Net premiums earned are calculated based on invoiced gross reinsurance premiums less invoiced premiums retroceded, both adjusted for the movement in gross unearned premiums and the change in reinsurers' share of unearned premiums. Premiums earned are estimated based on individual reinsurance contracts.
Claims and benefits incurred are accounted for on an accrual basis. Net claims incurred comprise gross claims paid net of recourse receivables and reinsured claims, i.e. amounts invoiced to retrocessionaires. The amount of gross claims paid includes the change in the claims provision, taking into account estimated claims and provisions for outstanding claims. Estimates are made on the basis of amounts in reinsurance contracts, which, according to contractual due dates, have already accrued, although corresponding reinsurance accounts have not been received. Claims incurred are estimated based on estimated premiums and combined ratios for individual reinsurance contracts. These items are used to calculate net claims incurred in the income statement.
Investment income and expenses are recorded separately by source of funds, i.e. in three separate registers: the non-life insurance investment register, the life insurance investment register and own funds investment register. Own fund investments support the Group's shareholders' funds, nonlife insurance investments support technical provisions, and life insurance investments support mathematical provisions.
Investment income includes:
Investment expenses include:
The probability of an employee staying with the Group includes both the probability of death and the probability of termination of employment relationship. Assumptions relating to future increases in salaries, severance pay upon retirement and jubilee benefits, as well as those relating to employee turnover depend on developments in individual markets and individual Group companies. The same term structure of risk-free interest rates is used for discounting as that in the capital adequacy calculation under Solvency II.
Other financial liabilities mainly include dividend payment obligations relating to previous years.
Liabilities are initially recognised at amounts recorded in the relevant documents. Subsequently, they are increased or decreased in line with documents, and reduced through payments. Liabilities consist in: liabilities for claims and outwards retrocession premiums, liabilities for claims arising out of inwards reinsurance contracts, liabilities for retained deposits, current income tax liabilities, amounts due to employees, amounts due to clients and other short-term liabilities.
Since 1 January 2019 Group companies have been reporting lease liabilities as a separate item. Lease liability is initially recognised at the present value of lease payments that have not been paid on the date of recognition. The applied discount rate consists of the incremental borrowing rate and takes into account the company's credit rating and lease term, and country risk for the Group. Lease liability is measured at the commencement date by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. If the lease changes after the initial measurement, the carrying amount is remeasured to reflect any modifications or reassessments using a revised discount rate.
Other liabilities include amounts due to employees, amounts due to clients, deferred reinsurance commissions and accrued expenses.
Group companies use the accrual basis method of accounting for insurance premiums earned. The following are disclosed separately: gross (re)insurance premiums, co-insurance and retrocession premiums, and unearned premiums. These items are used to calculate net premiums written in the income statement. Premiums earned are recognised based on confirmed (re)insurance accounts or (re)insurance contracts.
CONTENTS
18 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
Income tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Current income tax is presented in the income statement, except for the portion relating to the items presented in equity. The same applies to deferred tax. Current tax is payable on the taxable profit for the year using the tax rates enacted by the date of the statement of financial position, as well as on any adjustments to tax liabilities of prior periods. Deferred tax is recognised using the statement of financial position method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The deferred tax amount is based on the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using the tax rates effective on the date of the statement of financial position. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
The Group income tax expense has been determined in accordance with the requirements of each member's local legislation. The tax rate applicable for most Group companies (Slovenia) is 19% (2018: 19%), and 9–18% for other companies.
Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments were formed based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks and the environment in which companies operate).
Business is broken down by operating segment: reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions and the "other" segment. Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, with net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs a common performance indicator for all segments. The management board monitors performance by segment to the level of underwriting results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions on a quarterly basis.
These income and expenses are disclosed depending on whether the underlying investments are classified as investments held to maturity, at fair value through profit or loss, available for sale, loans and receivables, or deposits.
Interest income and expenses for investments classified as held to maturity or available for sale are recognised in the income statement using the effective interest rate method. Interest income and expenses for investments at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the income statement using the coupon interest rate. Dividend income is recognised in the income statement when payout is authorised. Gains and losses on the disposal of investments represent the difference between the carrying amount of a financial asset and its sale price, or between its cost less impairment, if any, and the sale price in the case of investments available for sale.
Operating expenses include:
Other technical income of the Group comprises income from commissions (reinsurance commissions less the change in deferred acquisition costs relating to reinsurers), and is recognised based on confirmed reinsurance accounts and estimated commission income taking into account straight-line amortisation. These include other technical income such as income on the realisation of impaired receivables, revenues from other insurance business, exchange gains and revenues from other services.
Other technical expenses of the Group comprise expenses for loss prevention activities and fire brigade charge, contribution for covering claims of uninsured and unidentified vehicles and vessels, regulator fees and exchange losses, operating expenses from revaluation and other expenses.
Other expenses consist of allowance for other receivables, direct operating expenses arising from investment property, expenses arising from impairment of intangible fixed assets and other extraordinary expenses.

The accounting policies adopted by the Group companies in preparing their financial statements are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the following new or amended IFRSs adopted for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
The listed new standards, amendments to and interpretations of standards are not mandatory for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2019 or later, and have not been used in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. The Group companies intend to apply these provisions when they enter into force.
On 1 January 2019, the Group companies implemented the new IFRS 16 "Leases" – discussed in section 17.4.9 "Right-of-use assets" and section 17.4.29 "Liabilities from operating activities, lease liabilities and other liabilities" – which had an impact on the financial statements.
New standards, interpretations and amendments to the published standards as adopted by the EU that have not yet been applied by the Group companies
The final version of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" reflects all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" and all previous versions of IFRS 9. The standard introduces new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting. The Group companies (insurance and reinsurance companies) have taken advantage of the option to postpone application due to the application of IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts".
Due to the adoption of the new standard on insurance contracts, IFRS 17, insurance companies may defer the application of IFRS 9 until 1 January 2022. Late application is conditional upon the carrying amount of liabilities arising out of insurance business exceeding 90% of the total carrying amount of liabilities. The Group companies first tested the satisfaction of this condition on 31 December 2015. The calculation is shown in the table below. There have been no changes that would have a significant effect on the satisfaction of the condition since 31 December 2015. The Group's insurance companies are subject to disclosures in IFRS 9, as presented below.

The other liabilities item does not include investment contract liabilities disclosed by the Slovenian pension company, as the company already applies IFRS 9 (the calculation excluding investment contracts totals 96%) and subordinated liabilities from the Sava Re bond issue.
The table below provides an analysis of the fair value of financial assets. Financial assets are divided into assets whose contractual cash flows consist solely of payments of principal and interest on the principal amounts outstanding, net of financial assets held for trading (hereinafter SPPI financial assets), and other financial assets.

insurance contracts in financial statements, to harmonise different practices allowed by IFRS 4, and to ensure comparability with other industries. The standard has an impact on the reported profit or loss, in particular for long-term contracts, and also provides information on the current and expected profitability by main types of insurance contracts.
Group companies expect the new standard to have a significant impact on the financial statements on the date of initial application, as insurance companies represent an important part of the Group. Insurance companies in the Group have been preparing for the new standard since 2018, and the project is in the preparation stage of the first approximate financial statements. Insurance companies in the Group are still in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard on the financial statements. The largest impact will be on the calculation of provisions and also on revenues from insurance contracts, the presentation of which will be very different from the present one. In the statement of financial position, the new standard will have a material impact on receivables and liabilities arising out of insurance business as these categories will be shown under new designations.
The amendments are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The amendments narrowed and clarified the definition of a business. They also permit a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a group of assets rather than a business. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group companies on the date of initial application.
The changes refer to disclosures. They are effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The amendments are mandatory and apply to all hedging relationships directly affected by uncertainties related to the IBOR reform. The amendments provide temporary relief from applying specific hedge accounting requirements to the hedging relationships with the effect that IBOR reform should not generally cause hedge accounting to terminate. The key reliefs provided by the amendments relate to:
The amendments also require companies to provide additional information to investors about their hedging relationships which are directly affected by these uncertainties.
Standards, interpretations and amendments to the published Standards as adopted by the EU that are not yet effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2019
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. The amendments clarify and align the definition of "material" and provide guidance to help improve consistency in the application of that concept whenever it is used in IFRS Standards. The amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements when initially applied.
Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 relate to the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The European Commission decided to defer the endorsement indefinitely. The amendments clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture, the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business, such that:
IFRS 17 applies for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 or later, with early application permitted. This standard has not yet been endorsed by the EU.
IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" establishes principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of insurance contracts. It also requires similar principles to be applied to reinsurance contracts held and investment contracts with discretionary participation features issued. The objective is to ensure that entities provide relevant information in a way that faithfully represents those contracts. This information provides a basis for users of financial statements to assess the effect that contracts within the scope of IFRS 17 have on the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of an entity.
The project is of regulatory nature and of the highest priority. The new concept of accounting for insurance contracts, which changes the existing practice of many years, must be implemented by 2022. The aim of the new standard is to provide more relevant information underlying the disclosures for all

Below, we provide the most important types of risk to which the Group is exposed:
The table shows the risk profiles of the Group and Sava Re in 2019. The risks have been assessed with regard to the potential volatility of business results and the resulting impact on the financial statements of the Group and Sava Re. The potential impact in the case an extreme internal or external risk is realised and the impact of such on the Group's solvency position is set out in the "Sava Insurance Group's solvency and financial condition report" and in the "Sava Re's solvency and financial condition report".

The Group and Sava Re use the standard formula for calculating their capital require ments under the Solvency II regime. The solvency capital requirement is calculated annually, while eligible own funds supporting the Group's solvency requirements are val ued on a quarterly basis.
The table below shows the calculation of cap ital adequacy of the Group and Sava Re as at 31 December 2018119 and 30 September 2019120 .
The Group's unaudited eligible own funds as at 30 September 2019 totalled EUR 461.4 million and were slightly higher than as at 31 December 2018 (EUR 471.9 million). In the first three quarters, own funds were not reduced by the foreseeable dividends for 2019, whereas eligible own funds as at 31 December 2019 will be reduced by the fore seeable dividends. Due to the issuance of sub ordinated debt by Sava Re in the last quarter, the level of the Group's eligible own funds as at 31 December 2019 will be higher than as at 31 December 2018. We expect the solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2019 to be higher than as at 31 December 2018, and the solvency ratio is expected to remain at a similar level. Accordingly, the risk to the Group's insolvency risk is assessed as very low.
Sava Re's unaudited eligible own funds as at 30 September 2019 totalled EUR 500.4 million and were slightly higher than as at 31 December 2018 (EUR 475.9 million). In the first three quarters, own funds were not reduced by the foreseeable dividends for 2019, whereas eligible own funds as at 31 December 2019 will be reduced by the fore seeable dividends. Due to the issuance of sub ordinated debt in Sava Re in the last quarter, the level of Sava Re's eligible own funds as at 31 December 2019 will be higher than as at 31 December 2018. We estimate that the sol vency capital requirement as at 31 December 2019 will be higher than as at 31 December 2018. We also expect a higher solvency ratio of the Company.
It is important for the Group not only to achieve regulatory capital adequacy, but also to manage capital in such a way that the level of capital meets the requirements of credit rating agencies for level "A" ratings, and that the Group remains solvent and is able to meet its obligations even in the event of stress scenarios. To this end, the risk strat egy, which defines the Group's risk appe tite, also defines the below capital adequacy ranges in relation to the solvency ratio.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE SAVA INSURANCE GROUP AND SAVA RE CONTENTS 15 AUDITOR'S REPORT 16 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 17 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 18 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE
Where significant risks are involved, adequately qualified underwriting experts of the controlling company are involved. Additionally, in respect of risks exceeding the limits set out in the obligatory reinsurance treaties, it is vital that adequate facultative reinsurance cover is obtained to upgrade the basic reinsurance programme.
In respect of obligatory proportional reinsurance treaties, Sava Re follows the fortune of its ceding companies, while with non-proportional and facultative contracts,
the decision on assuming a risk is on Sava Re. It follows from the foregoing that in order to manage this risk, it is essential to review the practices of existing and future ceding companies and to analyse developments in the relevant markets and in the relevant classes of insurance. Consequently, coverage may only be granted by taking into account internal underwriting guidelines. The Group's exposure measured by the volume of consolidated net premiums earned by insurance class is shown in the graph below.

As part of the underwriting risk category, the Group is exposed to underwriting process risk (insurance and reinsurance), pricing risk, claims risk, risk of inadequate retention and reinsurance programme, risk of inadequate technical provisions. The Group is indirectly exposed to some other underwriting risks, such as product design risk, economic environment risk and policyholder behaviour risk. While these risks may be significant, we believe their impact is indirectly reflected in the main underwriting risks, which is why we do not consider them in detail. Similarly to the Group, Sava Re is exposed to underwriting risk.
The basic purpose of both non-life and life insurance is the assumption of risk from policyholders. In addition to the risks assumed directly by Group primary insurance companies, the controlling company also indirectly assumes reinsurance risks from cedants outside the Group. The Group manages such risks through appropriate underwriting, any additional requirements or exclusion clauses in reinsurance contracts and through an appropriate retrocession programme. Sava Re retains a portion of the assumed risks (from the Group and outside it) and retrocedes the portion that exceeds its capacity.
First, we present underwriting risks arising out of non-life business. This is followed by risks arising out of life insurance business. In addition, the Group has a minor exposure relating to health insurance business. Health insurance business pursued on a similar technical basis as non-life insurance business, the risks of which are therefore similar to non-life insurance risks, are discussed under non-life insurance. Health insurance business pursued on a similar technical basis as life insurance business, the risks of which are therefore similar to life insurance risks, are discussed under life insurance.
The Group mitigates underwriting process risk mainly by complying with established and prescribed underwriting procedures (especially with large risks); correctly determining the probable maximum loss for each risk; complying with internal underwriting guidelines and instructions; complying with the authorisation system; and having in place an appropriate pricing and reinsurance policy.
Most non-life (re)insurance contracts are renewed annually. This allows insurers to amend the conditions and rates to take into account any deterioration in the underwriting results of entire classes of business, and for major policyholders in a timely manner.

Claims risk is the risk that the number of claims or the average claim amount will be higher than expected. This risk may materialise due to incorrect assessments in the underwriting process, changes in court practice, new types of losses, increased claims awareness, changes in macroeconomic conditions and similar.
In inward non-proportional reinsurance business, this risk is closely linked to the same risk borne by ceding companies. In inward non-proportional reinsurance business, Sava Re has greater control over the expected claims risk through direct control over pricing; however, since this business is more volatile, the risk is managed mainly through portfolio diversification. A treaty may be either very profitable for the reinsurer (if there are no losses in excess of a predetermined amount, the priority) or very unprofitable, if the loss exceeds the priority.
Claims risk is managed through designing appropriate (re)insurance conditions and tariffs, appropriate underwriting, monitoring risk concentration by site or geographical area and especially through adequate reinsurance and retrocession programmes.
We believe that the risk management measures set out are adequate and we estimate that the claims risk remained moderate and similar to the 2018 level.
Net retention risk is the risk that higher retention of insurance loss exposures will result in large aggregate losses due to catastrophic or concentrated claims experience. This risk may also materialise in the event of "shock losses", where a large number of insured properties are impacted. This may occur especially through losses caused by natural peril events, which are generally covered by a basic or an additional fire policy or by a policy attached to an underlying fire policy (e.g. business interruption policy or earthquake policy).
Sava Re manages net retention risk by way of appropriate professional underwriting of the risks to be (re)insured, partly by measuring the exposure (based on model results and by aggregating sums insured) by geographical area for individual natural perils, and especially by designing an appropriate reinsurance programme. In managing these risks, due consideration is given to the fact that maximum net aggregate losses in any one year are affected both by the maximum net claim arising from a single catastrophe event as well as by the frequency of such events.
We estimate that, in relative terms, retention risk is moderate and in 2019 remained at 2018 levels.
Underwriting risk in excess of the Group's capacity is reduced through retrocession contracts.
We estimate that underwriting process risk relating to the Group's (re)insurance business is moderate and well managed, although it moderately increased in 2019 compared to 2018 due to an increase in premium volume. This is because net non-life premiums written by the Group in 2019 grew by 10.2% or EUR 42.4 million compared to 2018.
Pricing risk is the risk that (re)insurance premiums charged will be insufficient to cover future obligations arising from (re)insurance contracts.
In the Group's subsidiaries, this risk depends on many factors, such as inadequate assessment of market developments, poor assessment of claims frequency, use of inadequate statistics, and intentionally excessively low premiums for certain insurance classes, as compensatory effects are expected from other classes or due to inadequate assessment of the effect of macroeconomic factors that may change significantly during the term of the contract.
Principally, the Group monitors pricing risk by conducting actuarial analyses of expected loss and combined ratios and identifying their trends and by making relevant corrections. When premium rates are determined for new products, the pricing risk can be monitored by prudently modelling loss experience, through comparison against market practice, and by comparing the actual loss experience against estimates.
In proportional reinsurance contracts, reinsurance premiums depend on insurance premiums, mostly set by ceding companies, while the risk premium also depends on the commission recognised by the reinsurer. The Group manages this risk by having an appropriate underwriting process in place and by adjusting applicable commission rates. Likewise in respect of non-proportional reinsurance treaties, the pricing risk is managed by properly underwriting the risks to be reinsured and by determining adequate reinsurance premiums. Expected results of individual reinsurance contracts entered into on the basis of available information and set prices must be in line with the target combined ratios, while the adequacy of prices is verified through modelling and reviewing of results on the portfolio level, and through results by form of reinsurance and group.
Based on reasonable actuarial expectations of claims movements or loss ratios and expenses or expense ratios and assuming rational behaviour of all market participants, the premium rates on the Group level allow for a combined ratio below 100%.
The Group considers the pricing risk to have been moderate in 2019 and similar to that in 2018.

The cumulative gross redundancies for the underwriting years from 2014 to 2018 increased compared to amounts at the end of the preceding year, which were 42.4%, 38.7%, 31.4% and 18.6% of original estimates.
The Group cannot use triangles organised on the basis of accident year data for actuarial estimations of claims provisions in respect of accepted reinsurance business. This is because ceding companies report claims under proportional treaties broken down by underwriting year. As claims under one-year policies written during any one year may occur either in the year the policy is written or in the year after, data on losses for proportional reinsurance contracts is only
broken down by underwriting year. Furthermore, some markets renew treaty business during the year, resulting in additional discrepancies between the underwriting year and the accident year. Due to these specifics, the Group provides data on reinsurer's share by underwriting year. The estimated liabilities relate to claims that have already been incurred (reported and not reported) and the settlement of which is covered by the claims provision, and claims arising from accepted contracts that have not yet been incurred and the settlement of which is covered by unearned premiums less deferred commission.
An appropriate reinsurance programme is important for managing the underwriting risk to which the Group and Sava Re are exposed. Sava Re uses retrocession treaties to diversify risk appropriately. The reinsurance programme is set up to reduce exposure to potential single large losses or the effect of a large number of single losses arising from the same loss event. The Group considers its reinsurance programme (including proportional and non-proportional reinsurance) to be appropriate in view of the risks to which it is exposed. Net retention limits set by the Group are only rarely applied. The Group also concludes co-insurance and reciprocal contracts with other reinsurers to further disperse risks. The Group's net retained portfolio, relating to both domestic and foreign cedants, is further covered for potentially large losses through prudently selected non-proportional reinsurance programmes.
The Group's reinsurance programme is not substantially different from 2018, but is supplemented primarily in line with portfolio growth (ensuring the coverage for new FOS business, additional renewal of the coverage for catastrophic events). In this way, the Group maintains retention risk at a level comparable to 2018.
When establishing technical provisions, the Group takes into account any under-reserved technical provisions identified on the subsidiary company level, recognising any identified deficiencies at the Group level.
Unearned premiums are established by Group members on a pro rata basis at the insurance policy level. In addition to unearned premiums, Group companies establish provisions for unexpired risks for those homogeneous risk groups where the combined ratio (loss ratio plus expense ratio) is expected to exceed 100%, as described in the notes to technical provisions.
Due to the difference in reserving (set out later in the report) methodologies used in accepted reinsurance and primary insurance business, the run-off analysis was made separately for primary insurance and reinsurance business. Such testing or analysis of whether technical provisions are adequate can only be applied to past years – the further back in time, the more precise the results. Given that technical provisions are calculated using consistent actuarial methods, we can conclude, based on past discrepancies between originally estimated liabilities and subsequently established liabilities at individual dates of the statement of financial position, that the provisions as at 31 December 2019 are adequate.
121 For reasons of comparability, the figures below exclude figures relating to the changes resulting from the acquisitions of new companies during the year.
Maximum net retentions and retrocession programmes of the (re)insurance company are of key importance to estimating the exposure to underwriting risks.
The net retention limit per risk is set at EUR 4 million for the majority of non-life classes of insurance, whereby a combined limit used for the classes fire and natural forces, other damage to property and miscellaneous financial loss must not exceed EUR 4 million; a net retention limit of EUR 2 million is set for motor liability and for marine. The net claim payable relating to an individual risk may not exceed EUR 4 million. In case of any catastrophe event, e.g. flood, hail, storm or even earthquake, the maximum net claim payable is limited by the priority of the non-proportional reinsurance programme (protection of net retention), which is EUR 5 million for Group as well as non-Group business. These amounts represent the maximum net claim on the Group level for a single catastrophe event based on reasonable actuarial expectations. In some international markets (India, USA, China), this retention may be exceeded, but must not exceed EUR 8 million. Hence, the probability that a large number of catastrophe events would compromise the solvency position of the Group is negligible.As the number of catastrophic events randomly fluctuates, an increase in net claims must always be expected. This may have an adverse effect on profit or loss, but will not compromise the Group's or Sava Re's solvency position, which has been tested using scenarios as part of the own risk and solvency assessment.
An increase in realised underwriting risk would essentially result in an increase in net claims. Because the Group as a whole has an adequate retrocession programme in place, it is not exposed to the risk of a sharp increase in net claims, not even in the case of catastrophic losses. A more likely scenario to which the Group is exposed to is the deterioration of the net combined ratio as a result of an increase in claims or expenses along with a decrease in premiums.
If the Group's net combined ratio changed due to higher/lower underwriting risks by 1 p.p., net profit before tax would decrease/ increase by EUR 4.87 million (2018: EUR 4.39 million).
If Sava Re's net combined ratio changed due to higher/lower underwriting risks by 1 p.p., net profit before tax would change by EUR 1.5 million (2018: EUR 1.4 million). In 2018, an additional maximum net claim of EUR 5 million would have deteriorated the combined ratio by 3.5% (2018: 3.6%), which is still acceptable.
The risk that the underwriting risk may seriously compromise the Group's or Sava Re's financial stability is deemed, according to our assessment, low and there are no significant differences between 2019 and 2018.
The table below therefore shows originally estimated gross or net liabilities with claims provisions included at any year-end plus unearned premiums less deferred commission, which is compared to subsequent estimates of these liabilities.

14.9% | 16.4% | 17.4% | 13.0% | 4.1% |
Cumulative gross redundancies for the underwriting years from 2014 to 2017 were at a comparable level as at the end of the preceding year, which were 17.0%, 17.5%, 18.4% and 11.3% of original estimates. We observe a small surplus for 2018, as the claims related to the Japanese typhoon estimated at the end of 2018 further deteriorated in 2019.
The Group manages reserve risk with strict regard for the internal procedures and rules on technical provisions and by using recognised actuarial methods.
Reserve risk is the risk of insufficiency of technical provisions and may occur because of inaccurate actuarial estimates or an unexpectedly unfavourable loss development. It may be a result of new types of losses that have not been excluded in cedants' insurance conditions and for which no claims provisions have yet been established, which is common with liability insurance contracts, but can also occur due to changed court practices.
Due to the high cumulative redundancies of both gross and net technical provisions, we estimate reserve risk at the end of 2019 to be relatively low and similar to that at yearend 2018.
In their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to investment portfolio risk such as investment property risk, and financial risks such as market, liquidity and credit risk, as well as the risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns on life business.
In 2019, the Group also assessed investment-risk liability fund ("IRLF") investments in the investment portfolio with exposure to financial risk. IRLF investments are investments for which an insurance subsidiary provides guaranteed unit values, thereby assuming the risk of achieving the guaranteed return. As at 31 December 2019, the value of these investments totalled EUR 104.9 million (31 December 018: EUR 82.6 million). As at 31 December 2019, investment portfolio assets of EUR 1,262.1 million were exposed to risk (31 December 2018: EUR 1,164.9 million) and included:
The investments of policyholders relating to unit-linked life business where policyholders fully bear the investment risk are excluded from the analysis of risks; as at year-end 2019, these totalled EUR 126.4 million (31 December 2018: EUR 133.3 million).
The risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns also includes the risk of investment contracts relating to the long-term business funds of the voluntary supplementary pension insurance (VSPI) that Sava Pokojninska manages for the benefit of policyholders.
As at 31 December 2019, Sava Re's investment portfolio totalled EUR 357.2 million and included:
The main risks to which the Group is exposed due to life insurance operations are lapse risk, mortality risk and life expense risk. The exposure to other risks, such as longevity, disability and morbidity risk, is lower.
Underwriting risks relating to additional accident business are similar to those described under non-life insurance and are managed in a similar way.
In order to manage the underwriting risk of life insurance business, the Group regularly monitors mortality and morbidity rates, termination of life policies, looking to identify specific trends. In addition, it regularly conducts adequacy testing of provisions. The Group also manages underwriting risk by strictly complying with underwriting procedures. These specify the criteria and terms of risk acceptance. At given premium rates, risk assumption depends on the age at entry and the requested sum insured. The Group accepts risks if the insured's health, as a measure of risk quality, is in line with table data listing criteria for medical examinations. An additional factor in the assumption of risks is lifestyle, including leisure activities and occupation. The Group has in place an appropriate reinsurance programme in order to limit the impact of underwriting risk; covers are generally on a proportional basis. The retention of insurers generally does not exceed EUR 50,000. Critical illness is reinsured with a foreign partner (Partner Re).
At the Group level, there is no significant concentration of life underwriting risk, as the portfolio is well diversified in terms of the age of the insured persons, the unexpired policy term, exposures (of sums insured and sums at risk), and annual and single premium payment. The portfolio is also diversified in terms of the percentage of policies lapsed in a period, expenses and mortality and morbidity rates by product.
We estimate that the exposure to underwriting risk relating to life insurance business is low and at a comparable level to 2018.

The risk is the change in the fair value of investment property directly or indirectly owned by the Group or Sava Re.
The Group and Sava Re are exposed to investment property risk within investment portfolio risks. The table below shows the value of investment property of the Group and Sava Re.
As at 31 December 2019, the value of the Group's investments exposed to property risk stood at EUR 20.7 million (31 December 2018: EUR 20.6 million) and did not substantially change compared to the previous period.
As at 31 December 2019, the value of the Sava Re investments exposed to property risk stood at EUR 9.1 million (31 December 2018: EUR 9.0 million) and did not substantially change compared to the previous period.
In addition to investment property, real estate funds shown as alternative investments under financial investments are also exposed to the risk.
The risk of alternative investments has been determined based on stressed values as prescribed under Solvency II regulations for the capital adequacy calculation. We assumed a 15% decrease in the value of investment property and real estate funds.
A shock would reduce the value of the Group's investments exposed to investment property risk by EUR 3.1 million. And the value of Sava Re's investments exposed to investment property risk would drop by EUR 1.4 million.

As part of market risks, the Group makes assessments of interest rate risk, equity risk and currency risk.
The value of the Group's financial investments exposed to market risk increased by EUR 97.1 million in 2019 compared to year-end 2018, which is explained in section 9.2.1.1 of the business report part.
The value of Sava Re's financial investments exposed to market risk increased by EUR 93.1 million in 2019 compared to year-end 2018, which is explained in section 9.2.1.1 of the business report part.

Interest rate risk is the risk of exposure to losses resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. These can cause a decrease in investments or an increase in liabilities.
The major part of interest rate risk on the liabilities side only affects the life insurance segment (mathematical provisions). Based on the prescribed methodology for the calculation of technical provisions for the purposes of preparing financial statements, on the non-life business side only temporary and life annuities arising out of liability policies are interest-rate sensitive; however, any change in liabilities due to changes in the capitalised value of annuities as a result of a decline in interest rates is negligible and has therefore not been considered in those calculations.
Interest rate risk is measured by a sensitivity analysis, by changing the value of investments in interest-sensitive assets or the value of mathematical provisions when interest rates change by 1 p.p. The interest-rate sensitive portfolio includes government and corporate bonds, deposits, loans, bond mutual funds with a weight of 1 and mixed mutual funds with a weight of 0.5.
The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 31 December 2019 was EUR 1,098.2 million (31 December 2018: EUR 1,052.0 million). Of this, EUR 706.6 million (31 December 2018: EUR 644.8 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and EUR 391.6 million (31 December 2018: EUR 407.2 million) to assets of life insurers.
The sensitivity analysis of the non-life segment as at 31 December 2019 showed that in the event of an interest rate increase by 1 p.p., the value of the interest rate sensitive investments would drop EUR 22.8 million (31 December 2018: EUR 18.4 million) or 3.2% (31 December 2018: 2.8%). The table below shows in greater detail how the value of investments changes in response to a change in interest rates and the impact on the financial statements, where the impact on equity is a result of available-for-sale investments and the impact on profit or loss a result of investments classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

The sensitivity analysis of interest rate sensitive life insurance investments showed that in case of an increase in interest rates by 1 p.p., the value would decrease by EUR 16.3 million or 4.2% (31 December 2018: EUR 13.6 million; 3.3%). The table below shows in greater detail how the value of investments changes in response to a change in interest rates and the impact on the financial statements, where the impact on equity is a result of available-for-sale investments and the impact on profit or loss a result of investments classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
The value of the mathematical provision included in the sensitivity analysis on the liabilities side amounted to EUR 213.8 million at 31 December 2019 (31 December 2018: EUR 252.7 million). A sensitivity analysis for liabilities (mathematical provisions) showed that if the present value of mathematical provisions is calculated using an interest rate that is 1.p.p higher, the mathematical provisions would decrease by EUR 8.5 million, or 3.9%, (31 December 2018: EUR 8.6 million; 3.4%). By contrast, if the provision is calculated using a 1 p.p. lower interest rate, mathematical provisions would increase by EUR 11.7 million, or 5.2%, (31 December 2018: EUR 11.8 million; 4.7%). The sensitivity analysis includes the results of the LAT test set out in section 17.4.26.
The results of sensitivity analyses of assets and liabilities show that the sensitivity of assets to interest rate changes and also the sensitivity of mathematical provisions increased compared to 2018. In 2019, the Group also adjusted the maturity of assets and liabilities to reduce the net effect of interest rate changes on the Group's balance sheets. The difference between the average maturity of assets and liabilities separately for life and non-life business is presented below.
The average maturity of bonds and deposits of non-life business was 3.37 years at yearend 2019 (31 December 2018: 2.98 years), while the expected maturity of non-life liabilities was 2.20 years (31 December 2018: 2.77 years).
The average maturity of bonds and deposits of life business was 4.39 years at yearend 2019 (31 December 2018: 3.48 years), while the expected maturity of life liabilities was 4.98 years (31 December 2018: 4.39 years).
Interest rate risk increased slightly in 2019. The increase in interest rate risk is largely due to the widening of the difference between the value of interest rate sensitive assets over interest rate sensitive liabilities, but also the widening of the difference between the maturity of assets and liabilities. It is important to note that due to the low interest rate environment, the companies are primarily exposed to reinvestment risk, and this is particularly important for the life insurance segment, which must meet its commitments regarding guaranteed returns over a longer period.
Given that according to the prescribed methodology for the calculation of technical provisions, Sava Re does not have interest-rate sensitive technical provisions, changes in market interest rates are only reflected in the value of the investment portfolio. The interest-rate sensitive portfolio includes government and corporate bonds, bond and convertible mutual funds with a weight of 1 and mixed mutual funds with a weight of 0.5.
The sensitivity analysis showed that in case of an increase in interest rates, the value of bonds included in the analysis would decrease by EUR 8.3 million (31 December 2018: EUR 8.1 million) or 3.1% (31 December 2018: 3.6%).
Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, the interest rate risk did not change significantly compared to 2018.

Equity risk is the risk that the value of investments will decrease due to fluctuations in equity markets. Assets exposed to the risk include shares, equity and mixed mutual funds (a stress test takes into account half of the value) and alternative funds (infrastructure).
Unlike the bond portfolio, which moves inversely to interest rates, the value of equities and mutual funds changes linearly with stock prices. To assess the Group's sensitivity of investments to equity risk, we can assume a 10% drop in the value of all equity securities, which would result in a decrease in the value of investments by EUR 4.3 million (31 December 2018: EUR 2.4 million). Thus, a 20% fall in equity prices would reduce the value of investments by EUR 8.6 million (31 December 2018: EUR 4.8 million). The
Group shows the highest concentration of equity risk to Slovenia-based issuers. The value of investments in equity securities of Slovenian issuers at year-end 2019 stood at EUR 16.9 million, representing 39.3% of assets sensitive to changes in equity securities (2018: EUR 15.1 million, 63.3%).

The Sava Insurance Group's exposure to equity risk increased slightly in 2019 compared to year-end 2018, mainly on account of an increase in exposure to alternative investments (infrastructure funds). We estimate that the equity risk increased slightly over the period.
Assets exposed to the equity risk of Sava Re include shares, equity and mixed mutual funds (a stress test takes into account half of the value) and alternative funds. Investments in subsidiaries are excluded from stress tests as the Company assesses their value in accordance with the policy described in section 17.4.13. "Financial investments in subsidiaries and associates". As at the year-end 2019, investments in subsidiaries totalled EUR 238.2 million (31 December 2018: EUR 220.2 million). Sava Re maintains and increases the value of its investments in subsidiaries through active management.
As at 31 December 2019, investments exposed to the equity risk accounted for 4.7% of Sava Re's investment portfolio, 0.4 p.p. more compared to year-end 2018.

In order to assess the sensitivity of investments to equity risk, we assume a 10% drop in the value of all equity securities, which would have resulted in a decrease in the value of investments of EUR 1.7 million (31 December 2018: EUR 1.1 million). Thus, a 20% fall in equity prices would reduce the value of investments by EUR 3.3 million (31 December 2018: EUR 2.3 million).
Sava Re shows the highest concentration of equity risk to Slovenia-based issuers. The value of investments in equity securities of Slovenian issuers at year-end 2019 stood at EUR 9.5 million, representing 57.5% of assets sensitive to changes in equity securities (2018: EUR 8.6 million, 76.1%).
Currency risk is the risk that changes in exchange rates will lower the value of foreign-denominated assets or increase liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.
The Sava Insurance Group manages currency risk through the efforts of each company to optimise asset-liability currency matching. Sava Re is the Sava Insurance Group member with the largest exposure to currency risk.
As at 31 December 2019, the Company's liabilities denominated in foreign currencies accounted for 18.0% of its total liabilities. As the proportion of international business is rising (as is the number of different currencies), Sava Re has put in place a currency matching policy. It took measures for the matching of assets and liabilities in foreign currencies aimed at decreasing currency risk.
The currency matching policy lays down the criteria as to when the Company is to start the currency mismatch by accounting currency122. Based on the market situation, the Company assesses the ability of currency matching in the primary currency, and if this is not possible, the transaction currency is to be used for matching123. The currency matching policy of a company defines the conditions and method of matching. Currency matching of assets and liabilities using the accounting and transaction currency methodology is shown in the table "Transaction currency match".
Currency mismatch of assets and liabilities is monitored by individual accounting currency. The following table includes the currency mismatch for the five currencies that account for the largest share of liabilities.
123 The transaction currency is the currency in which reinsurance contract transactions are processed.
122 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.

Sava Re has set itself a target of matching assets and liabilities at least 90%. In 2019 assets and liabilities were matched 96.0% (2018: 96.8%), which demonstrates the high quality of currency risk management.
In the management of currency risk (management aspect), Sava Re managed to directly match all substantially liquid currencies. Other currencies were matched based on their correlation with the euro or the US dollar. Since many accounting currencies are at least 90% correlated to the US dollar, the surplus of assets over liabilities in US dollars has been reduced to EUR 0.6 million (from EUR 2.9 million). This would further increase the currency matching percentage to 99.6% (2018: 98.8%).

and in the case of liquidity problems, informs the parent company, which assesses the situation and provides the necessary funds to ensure liquidity.
Liquidity risk assumed by individual Group members is also reduced by regular measurement and monitoring based on selected indicators. An indicator of liquidity risk is the level of maturity matching of financial assets and liabilities.
Liquidity requirements are met by allocating funds to money market instruments in the percentage consistent with the estimated normal current liquidity requirement. In this regard, each EU-based Group company maintains a liquidity buffer of highly liquid assets accounting for at least 15% of its investment portfolio. Highly liquid assets are intended to provide liquidity to meet any extraordinary liquidity requirements and are available on an ongoing basis. The other Group members manage their short-term liquidity requirements through cash in bank accounts and short-term deposits.
The table below shows the value of financial investments and technical provisions covering life policies by year based on undiscounted cash flows, while the value of technical provisions covering non-life business is shown by year and expected maturity based on triangular development. The Group companies cover the excess of liabilities over assets with a maturity of less than one year with assets available on call and through surplus cash flows arising out of current operations.
Sava Re minimises liquidity risk by ensuring funds in the amount of the estimated liquidity requirement. This comprises estimated ordinary current liquidity needs and liquidity reserves, which are ensured through the allocation of funds in money market instruments and through setting minimum percentages of portfolios that must be invested in highly liquid assets readily available to provide liquidity in case of emergency.
Sava Re makes the normal current liquidity assessment based on the projected cash flow analysis in the period of up to one year included in the monthly and weekly plans, which take into account the planned investment maturity dynamics as well as other inflows and outflows from operating activities. To this end, the Company uses historical data from previous monthly and weekly liquidity plans and projections regarding future operations. The liquidity reserve is calculated on the basis of an assessment of the maximum weekly outflows based on historical data.
As at 31 December 2019, L1A assets represented 21.7% of the investment portfolio of the Company (31 December 2018: 25.0%), which points to its high liquidity.
Exposure to liquidity risk is also measured by maturity-matching of assets and liabilities. The following table shows the value of financial investments by year based on undiscounted cash flows, while the value of technical provisions is shown by year and expected maturity based on triangular development.
A currency mismatch also affects profit or loss through accounting for exchange rate 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. Other Group companies whose local currency is the euro (companies based in Slovenia, Montenegro and Kosovo) have the majority of euro-denominated liabilities, while a process of currency matching is conducted with regard to liabilities denominated in currencies other than euro when the materiality threshold is exceeded. Group companies whose local currency is not the euro (companies based in Croatia, Serbia and North Macedonia), 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.
We estimate that currency risk at the Group level remained the same in 2019 compared to 2018 since Sava Re is taking measures to reduce exposure to currency risk, and it continues currency matching of assets and liabilities both directly based on accounting currencies and indirectly based on transaction currencies, and thus reduces exposure to currency risk.

Liquidity risk is the risk that, owing to unexpected or unexpectedly high obligations, the Company will not be able to meet all its financial obligations.
Individual Group companies manage liquidity risk in line with the guidelines laid down in the Sava Insurance Group liquidity risk management policy. Each Group member carefully plans and monitors the realisation of cash flows (cash inflows and outflows),

Financial investments also include IRLF investments, for which the insurer provides guaranteed return, classified as held-to-maturity assets (EUR 9.7 million) and available-for-sale assets (EUR 61.9 million).
The Company has on its books EUR 62.1 million of investments (31 December 2018: EUR 71.0 million) assessed as highly liquid by the ECB (first two categories under ECB methodology for assessing the liquidity of investments).
In terms of the Company's liquidity, matching of maturity of gross technical provisions and reserves with funds of the nonlife insurance register is very important. At year-end 2019, Sava Re recorded a surplus of assets over liabilities with maturities up to one year, which indicates good liquidity of the Company. The average maturity of assets and liabilities also indicates the liquidity situation. The average maturity of bonds and deposits of the non-life insurance register was 3.20 years at year-end 2019 (31 December 2018: 3.03 years), while the expected maturity of liabilities was 2.98 years (31 December 2018: 4.1 years).
Based on the above, we estimate that liquidity risk is well managed both at the Group and individual company level and did not change significantly compared to year-end 2018.

Sava Re mitigates credit risk with other investments through a high degree of diversification and by investing in liquid securities.
The credit risk due to issuer default also includes concentration risk representing the risk of excessive concentration in a geographic area, economic sector or issuer.
The investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance 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 other potential forms of concentration.

The Group's exposure to Slovenia decreased by 2.5 p.p. in 2019. Investments in government bonds represent the largest exposure to Slovenia as in the previous year. In the total portfolio they accounted for 7.6% and decreased by 5.7 p.p. compared to the previous year.
At year-end 2019, the exposure of Sava Re to Slovenia-based issuers was EUR 91.3 million, representing 25.6% of financial investments (31 December 2018: EUR 48.9 million; 18.6%). Compared to 2018, the percentage of such investments increased by 7 p.p. The increase in the structural share is the result of an increased cash and deposit balance with banks in Slovenia.
As at 31 December 2019, the Group's exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 388.4 million, representing 30.7% of financial investments (31 December 2018: EUR 403.5 million; 34.7%). The largest single issuer of securities to which the Group is exposed is the Republic of Slovenia.
As at 31 December 2019, exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 125.5 million, representing 36.1% of financial investments (31 December 2018: EUR 83.7 million; 31.8%). The largest single issuer of securities to which Sava Re is exposed is the United States. As at 31 December 2019, it totalled EUR 25.8 million or 7.4% of financial investments (31 December 2018: EUR 17.4 million; 6.6%).
We assess that in 2019, the Sava Insurance Group companies – by maintaining a large percentage of highly-rated investments, diversification of investments by industry and geography and reducing concentration – managed credit risk well, maintaining it on the same level as in 2018.
The Group is also exposed to credit risk in relation to its retrocession programme. As a rule, subsidiaries conclude reinsurance contracts directly with the controlling company. If so required by local regulations, they would also buy reinsurance from the providers of assistance services and from local reinsurers. In such cases, local reinsurers transfer the risks to Sava Re, thus reducing the effective credit risk exposure relating to reinsurers below the one correctly shown according to accounting rules.
The tables below show the receivables ageing analysis for the Group and Sava Re, including the above-mentioned receivables for reinsurers' shares in claims.
The Group's largest exposure by region is to the EU member states (31 December 2019: 58.5%, 31 December 2018: 57.0%), with the exposure spread among 24 countries. This is followed by the exposure to Slovenia-based issuers (31 December 2019: 19.1%; 31 Dec 2018: 21.7%) and issuers based in the Americas and Australia (31 December 2019: 10.5%; 31 Dec 2018: 9.3%). Exposure to other regions remained more or less the same compared to year-end 2018.
Sava Re's largest exposure is to EU Member States (31 December 2019: 49.4%, 31 December 2018: 53.7%), with the exposure spread among 22 countries. This is followed by the exposure to Slovenia-based issuers (31 December 2019: 25.6%; 31 Dec 2018: 18.6%) and issuers based in the Americas and Australia (31 December 2019: 16.4%; 31 Dec 2018: 17.3%). Exposure to other regions remained more or less the same compared to year-end 2018.

As at 31 December 2019, the total exposure of the Group to credit risk relating to reinsurers was EUR 44.4 million (31 December 2018: EUR 32.5 million), of which EUR 38.6 million (31 December 2018: EUR 27.3 million) relate to the reinsurers' share of technical provisions and EUR 5.8 million (31 December 2018: EUR 5.2 million) to receivables for the reinsurers' and co-insurers' shares in claims. As at 31 December 2019, the Group's total credit risk exposure relating to retrocessionaires represented 2.4% of total assets (31 December 2018: 1.9%).
Retrocession programmes are mostly placed with first-class reinsurers that have an appropriate rating (at least A- according to Standard & Poor's for long-term business, and at least "BBB+" for short-term business). Thus, at least 80% of credit risk exposures related to a reinsurer at the end of 2019 (2018: at least 70%) at least 70%) relate to those with a rating equal to or higher than "BBB". When classifying reinsurers by credit
rating group, we considered the credit rating of each individual reinsurer, also where the reinsurer is part of a group. Often such reinsurers are unrated subsidiaries, while the controlling company has a credit rating. We consider such a treatment conservative, as ordinarily a controlling company takes action if a subsidiary gets into trouble.

Sava Re assessed its receivables for impairment. Allowances were established for receivables that needed to be impaired. Receivables are discussed in greater detail in note 11.
The total exposure of Sava Re to retrocessionaires as at 31 December 2018 was EUR 34.6 million (31 December 2018: EUR 25.8 million). Of this, EUR 31.2 million (31 December 2017: EUR 21.4 million) relate to retroceded gross technical provisions (EUR 8.3 million to unearned premiums and EUR 22.9 million to provisions for outstanding claims) and EUR 3.4 million (31 December 2018: EUR 4.4 million) to receivables for reinsurers' shares in claims.
The total credit risk exposure of Sava Re arising from retrocessionaires represented 4.7% of total assets in 2019 (31 December 2018: 4.3%). Retrocession programmes are mostly placed with first-class reinsurers with an appropriate credit rating (at least "A-" according to Standard & Poor's for long-term business, and at least "BBB+" for short-term business). We consider this risk as low, particularly as the investment portfolio is adequately diversified. See details in the following table.
in excess of guaranteed return is realised, liabilities to the members of the MGF for assets in excess of guaranteed levels of assets are increased; if, however, 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 assets, the company is required to make provisions for the difference, which may exceed 20% of the capital. Any excess must be covered by the company's own funds.
The risk of failing to realise guaranteed returns is managed primarily through appropriate management of policyholder assets and liabilities, an appropriate investment strategy, an adequate level of the company's capital and provisioning. The Group tests its risk exposure arising out of guaranteed return through stress tests and scenarios as part of the own risk and solvency assessment. We assess that the risk of having to contribute funds in order to deliver the guaranteed return is low and did not change compared to 2018.
The value of fund assets of the North Macedonian pension company Sava Penzisko Društvo (two funds, mandatory and voluntary) is not included in the statement of financial position of the company as these are funds under management (similar treatment as for fund management companies). The role of the North Macedonian pension company is solely to manage the assets; the funds have no guaranteed return. Consequently, the company is not exposed to the risk to which investment contracts are exposed, i.e. failure to realise the guaranteed return.
With regard to its traditional life insurance and unit-linked life insurance business with a guaranteed unit value (value of a unit of the fund), the Group is exposed to the risk of failure to realise the guaranteed return.Taking into account the realised book return on financial investments and the guaranteed return on the liabilities side in the period 1–12/2019, the effect of not achieving the guaranteed return totals EUR 406.6 thousand.
We assess that the risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns is moderate and only slightly increased compared to 2018.
Regarding the risk related to its financial investments in subsidiaries and associates, Sava Re is especially exposed to the risk of a decline in these investments and to the concentration risk. Among its financial investments in subsidiaries and associates, the Company has one major exposure, i.e. the investment in Zavarovalnica Sava, the value of which accounts for 51.8% (2018: 56.0%) of the total value of its financial investments in subsidiaries and associates. As at 31 December 2019, Sava Re's total exposure to the risk of financial investments in subsidiaries and associates was EUR 238.2 million (31 December 2018: EUR 220.2 million).

The Group is exposed to the risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return, specifically with investment contracts and with traditional and unit-linked life insurance business.
The Group's investment contracts include a group of life cycle funds called MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla (MY life-cycle funds), relating to supplementary pension business of the company Sava Pokojninska in the accumulation phase. The company manages the group of long-term life-cycle funds MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla, which comprise three funds: MOJ Dinamični Sklad (MY Dynamic Fund), MOJ Uravnoteženi Sklad (MY Balanced Fund), and MOJ Zajamčeni Sklad (MY Guaranteed 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 return associated with investment contract assets and liabilities for the long-term business fund with a guaranteed return (MGF).
The members of the supplementary pension insurance scheme thus bear the entire investment risk arising out of the two funds MDF and MBF, while with the MGF they bear the investment risk above the guaranteed return. The guaranteed return of MGF is 60% of the average annual interest rate on government securities with a maturity of over one year. Liabilities relating to MGF comprise paid in premiums, guaranteed return and amounts in excess of the guaranteed return, provided the company achieved it. For each member, the fund administrator keeps a personal account with accumulating net contributions and assets to exceed the guaranteed return (provisions); for MGF, additionally the guaranteed return is maintained. Liabilities to the members of the MDF and MBF move in line with the value of investments; members fully bear the investment risk. In years when the return
Sava Re manages the risk related to its financial investments in subsidiaries and associates through active management of the companies, comprising:
The table below shows the value of investments in subsidiaries and associates taking into account the shock.
Exposure to risk related to financial investments in subsidiaries and associates in 2019 was slightly higher than in 2018, as Group complexity increased with new acquisitions. This also explains the slight drop in the percentage of total financial investments represented by the largest exposure, to Zavarovalnica Sava, and the increase in diversification. Taking account of all the impacts we believe that the risk related to participations increased slightly, but still remained moderate due to its active management.

Group companies and the Group are exposed to a variety of internal and external strategic risks that may have a negative impact on the income or capital adequacy.
The primary key strategic risks to which the Group and Sava Re were exposed in 2019 include:
Strategic risks are by nature very diverse, difficult to quantify and heavily dependent on various (including external) factors. They are also not included in the calculation of capital requirement in accordance with the Solvency II standard formula.
Group companies' and 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 in an EU-based Group (re)insurance company using qualitative analysis of various scenarios. Based on both analyses combined, an overview is obtained of the extent and change in the exposure to this type of risk.
Group companies mitigate individual strategic risks mainly through preventive measures, and individual companies have in place various processes that ensure that they can properly identify, measure, monitor, manage, control and report strategic risks, thus ensuring their effective management. In addition to the competent organisational units in Group companies, it is also the executive management bodies, the risk management committees and the risk management functions that are actively involved in the identification and management of strategic risks. Strategic risks are additionally identified by the Group's risk management committee. Strategic risks are also managed by continually monitoring the realisation of short- and long-term goals of Group companies, and by monitoring regulatory changes in the pipeline and market developments.
The Group is aware that its reputation is important in realising its business goals and in order to achieve its strategic plans in the long term. Group companies have taken steps aimed at mitigating reputation risk, such as setting up fit and proper procedures applicable to key employees, ensuring systematic operations of their respective compliance functions, having in place business continuity plans, developing stress tests and scenarios, and planning actions and responses in the case such risks materialise. Toward ensuring the Group's good reputation, each and every employee is responsible for improving the quality of services delivered and overall customer satisfaction.
We estimate that the Group's exposure to strategic risks in 2019 was moderate and remained at the same level as in 2018.
Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, personnel or systems, or from external events.
Operational risks are not among the Group's or Sava Re's most significant risks. Nevertheless, some of them are material, particularly:
The Group and Group companies calculate their capital requirements for operational risks using the Solvency II standard formula at least once annually. This calculation of operational risk, however, has only limited practical value, as the formula is not based on the actual exposure to operational risk, but on an approximation calculated mainly based on consolidated premiums, provisions and expenses of the Group.
To assess operational risks in Group companies and at the Group level, qualitative assessment of the probability and financial impact within the scope of the risk register is applied, while the EU-based (re)insurance companies additionally use scenario analysis. Through regular risk assessments, the Group companies obtain insight into the actual level of their exposure to such risks.
Group companies have established processes for identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing and reporting on such risks for the effective management of operational risk. Operational risk management processes have also been set up at the Group level and are defined in the operational risk management policy.
The main measures of operational risk management on the individual company and the Group level include:
In addition, the Group also manages operational risks through independent oversight implemented by internal audit.
We estimate that the Group's exposure to operational risks in 2019 was moderate and remained at the same level as in 2018.

In 2019, the Group acquired three compa nies (Ergo Životno Osiguranje, Ergo Osigu ranje and Sava Infond). In December 2019, Ergo Životno Osiguranje and Ergo Osigu ranje were transformed into a limited liability company (SŽO Poslovno Savjetovanje and SO Poslovno Savjetovanje), having previ ously transferred the portfolio of insurance contracts to the Croatia-based branch office of Zavarovalnica Sava.
The increase in goodwill arises out of the acquisition of Sava Infond. Goodwill arisen on the acquisition of Sava Penzisko was partly allocated to a customer list based on the list's estimated value, which increased the balance of other intangible assets.
The Group's other intangible assets in 2019 mostly comprise the assessed value of this customer list.
Goodwill relates to the acquisition of the following companies: Sava Neživotno Osi guranje (Serbia), Sava Osiguranje (Mon tenegro), Zavarovalnica Sava, Sava Agent, Sava Pokojninska, TBS Team 24, Sava Pen zisko Društvo and Sava Infond. As at yearend 2019, goodwill totalled EUR 39.1 million (31 December 2018: EUR 29.0 million). Each of the listed companies is treated as a cash-generating unit. The table below shows the value of goodwill for each cash-generat ing unit.

The discount rate is made up of the following:
• The risk-free rate of return is based on the 5-year average of yield to maturity of 10-year European government bonds. • The equity risk premium has been taken from the publication of KPMG Netherlands "Equity market risk premium", Research Summary, November 2019. • Tax rates included in the discount rate calculation are the applicable tax rates in individual countries where companies
The bases for the testing of value in use are prepared in several phases. In phase one, the Company prepares three- or five-year projections of performance results for each company as part of the regular planning process unified Group-wide. These strategic plans are approved by the controlling company and relevant governance body. Based on such medium-term plans, the controlling company then makes extrapolations for those companies for which it is reasonable to assume that a normal volume of business has not yet been achieved. For insurance and pension companies, it is additionally assessed whether the capital required for an insurance company to operate under local regulations would be fully engaged.
Premium growth and profitability are planned for insurance companies since insurance penetration is relatively low in both Serbia and Montenegro. However, insurance penetration is expected to increase significantly due to the expected convergence of their countries' macroeconomic indicators towards EU levels. Western Balkan markets, which have a relatively low penetration level, are expected to see a faster growth of gross premiums compared to the expected growth in GDP.
The profitability of pension companies is expected to grow. It is expected to be driven by increased contributions to pension funds as a result of demographic trends, at relatively fixed operating costs.
To estimate the residual value used in the calculation of the estimated value of equity, the calculation considers normalised cash flow in the last year of the forecast made using the Gordon growth model. Subsidiaries have been valued using a long-term growth rate (g) ranging from 0.3% to 2.0% to calculate the residual value. For Slovenia-based companies this growth rate is based on the average risk-free rate of return totalling 0.3%; for other markets it totals 2.0% and is based on the expected industry growth in the long-term period.
The decrease in goodwill arising out of Sava Penzisko Društvo relates to a reclassification to other intangible assets, as discussed in section 17.2 "Business combinations and overview of Group companies".

Value in use for each cash-generating unit is calculated using the discounted cash flow method (DCF method). The budget projections of the CGUs and their estimate of the long-term results achievable are used as a starting point. Value in use is determined by reference to free cash flows discounted at an appropriate discount rate.
The discount rate is determined as cost of equity, using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM). It is based on the interest rate on risk-free securities, equity premium, and insurance business prospects applying the beta factor. Added is a country risk premium and a size premium.

The pension company eliminates inter-company transactions of the joint balance sheet; therefore, liabilities to pension policyholders exceed investment contract liabilities. Internal transactions between the group of My-Life-cycle long-term business funds and the pension company were eliminated in the balance sheet. These include entry charges and management fees for the current month, which may be recognised upon conversion or when credited to personal accounts.
Liabilities in the balance sheet of the longterm liability fund of the voluntary supplementary pension insurance are mostly long-term. These are liabilities relating to the voluntary supplementary pension life liability fund for premiums paid, guaranteed return and the return in excess of guaranteed return (provisions).

The Group's receivables increased by EUR 18.9 million compared to year-end 2018, and the Company's receivables went up by EUR 9.2 million.
This increase in the Group mostly stemmed from the non-life segment as a result of growth in gross premiums written, which had an effect on the total increase in this item. In the ageing anal ysis, the largest increase was in past due receivables up to 180 days arising out of primary insurance business.
Receivables arising out of reinsurance and co-insurance business increased by EUR 0.9 million. Current tax assets increased by EUR 2.8 million and mainly relate to Sava Re.
Receivables of the controlling company arising out of reinsurance contracts have not been specifically secured. Receiv ables have been tested for impairment. For all receivables that have already fallen due, allowances have been rec ognised relating to individual classes of similar credit risks into which receivables are classified. The Group tested material items of receivables individually. If the Company recognises receivables from and liabilities to the same entity, receiv ables are subject to impairment even if older than one year.
The Group's other short-term receiv ables arising out of insurance business comprise recourse receivables.

This item comprises commissions invoiced but relating to the next financial year, which are deferred using the straight-line method, and for Sava Re estimated future sliding scale commissions for intra-Group reinsurance. At the Group level, deferred acquisition costs increased by EUR 3.7 million, which follows the growth of the portfolio, while in Sava Re they decreased by EUR 1.3 million despite the growth in the business volume, which is a result of lower acquisition costs outside the Group (due to a larger share of non-proportional reinsurance business) and higher expected future commissions of Group business (on account of an improvement in the expected results of that business).

Reserves provided for by the articles of association are used:
Under the law of certain markets where the Group is present, equalisation provisions and catastrophe equalisation provisions are treated as technical provisions. As these requirements are not IFRS-compliant, the Group carries these provisions within profit reserves. Additions are made to these provisions by establishing other reserves from net profit for the year (subject to resolution of the management and the supervisory boards), while a dismantling or release of the provision is taken to retained earnings.
In accordance with IFRSs, the catastrophe equalisation reserve is shown under profit reserves.
In line with regulations, the management board or the supervisory board may, when adopting the annual report, allocate a part of net profit to other profit reserves, but not more than half of the net profit for the period. In 2019, other profit reserves increased on this basis. Other reserves are distributable. The management board has the power to propose the appropriation of reserves as part of distribution of distributable profit, which is subject to approval by the general meeting.
As at 31 December 2019, the Company held a total of 1,721,966 own shares (2018: 1,721,966) with ticker POSR (accounting for 10% less one share of the issued shares) for a value of EUR 24,938,709 (2018: EUR 24,938,709).
Own shares are a contra account of equity.
The fair value reserve comprises the change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets.

The weighted number of shares takes into account the annual average calculated on the basis of monthly averages of ordinary shares less the number of own shares. The weighted average number of shares outstanding in the financial period was 15,497,696 and the same as in 2018. The controlling company does not have potentially dilutive capital instruments, which is why basic earnings per share equal diluted earnings per share.
Retained earnings as at 31 December 2019 increased by EUR 7.0 million from 31 December 2018. Retained earnings were strengthened by the transferred net profit for the previous year of EUR 21.8 million, but reduced by EUR 14.7 million for dividend payments and EUR 0.1 million allocated to legal reserves.
In line with the general meeting resolution dated 21 May 2019, the Company allocated EUR 14,722,811 to dividend distributions.

The provision for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk increased by 5.0%, by which the increase due to the growth of the new and acquired
portfolio and the value of assets exceeded maturity payments and purchases.
Sava Re's gross technical provisions increased by 11.6 % year on year. Unearned premiums grew by 15.8%, mainly on account of high growth of the Group business. Claims provisions increased by 10.3% owing to major loss events (typhoons in Japan) and the growth in portfolios in recent years. Due to the deterioration of results in recent years, especially in ship hull business, provisions for unexpired risks have increased in the reinsurance portfolio.
The Group's gross technical provisions increased by 1.7% in 2019, with unearned premiums and claims provisions increased and mathematical provisions decreased.

Consolidated mathematical provisions, by contrast, increased due to the acquisition of the new company as well as owing to the growing volume of pension business of Sava Pokojninska Družba.

Among other provisions, the Group mainly discloses provisions for long-term employee benefits, which were set at year-end 2019 at EUR 7.5 million at the Group level, of which EUR 0.5 million at Sava Re (2018: EUR 7.0 million at the Group level and EUR 0.4 million at Sava Re level) as described in section 17.4.27 "Other provisions". The increase due to current service cost, the change in past entitlements, and the acquisition of a new company more than offset the decrease due to outflows and changes in assumptions. In accordance with the method prescribed in IAS 19, we, therefore, give a separate presentation of changes in provisions for sev-
erance pay upon retirement arising from changes in actuarial assumptions that are recognised in equity.

Liabilities from operating activities in the Group increased compared to year-end 2018, mainly due to an increase in liabilities for reinsurance premiums and liabilities to insurance intermediaries.
Liabilities of the Company increased by EUR 1.9 million, mainly due to the growth in liabilities from reinsurance contracts. The Company does not have liabilities arising out of co-insurance. The other liabilities due from co-insurance and reinsurance item comprises liabilities for reinsurance commission.
The Group's current tax liabilities dropped by EUR 2.6 million year on year. This is because the advance payments of tax made by Group companies during 2018 were lower than actually assessed corporate income tax for 2018.
In 2019, most liabilities were due within one year.

Lease liabilities were first recognised on 1 January 2019 and relate to the present value of future leases, increased by interest and decreased by rent paid.

The Group primarily measures its OTC debt assets based on BID CBBT prices representing unadjusted quoted prices, thus meeting the criteria for classification into level 1. Level 1 also includes mutual fund assets and listed securities that satisfy the active market requirement.
As at 31 December 2019, level 1 investments represented 78.3% (31 December 2018: 42.8%) of financial investments measured at fair value.
The valuation model applied used directly and indirectly observable market inputs, such as the risk free interest rate curve, yield of similar financial instruments, and credit and liquidity risk premiums. Since inputs used by the model meet level 2 criteria, investments valued using the internal model were classified into level 2.
In the second quarter of 2019, the Group changed its approach to recognising fair values of deposits. It believes that the carrying amount of deposits is a sufficient approximation of fair value because these mainly comprise short-term investments. The changed approach to recognising fair values of deposits has resulted in the reclassification from level 2 into level 3.
In 2019, the proportion of OTC assets measured based on closing BID CBBT prices increased compared to year-end 2018. As at 31 December 2019, level 1 investments represented 77.1% (31 December 2018: 46.6%) of financial investments measured at fair value.
Quoted financial instruments that did not meet the active market criterion as at 31 December 2019, were valued based on an internal model. The valuation model applied used directly and indirectly observable market inputs such as: the risk free interest rate curve, yield of similar financial instruments, and credit and liquidity risk premiums. Since inputs used by the model meet level 2 criteria, investments valued using the internal model were classified into level 2.
The Company changed its approach to recognising fair values of deposits. It believes that the carrying amount of deposits is a sufficient approximation of fair value because these mainly comprise short-term investments. The changed approach to recognising fair values of deposits has resulted in the reclassification from level 2 into level 3. Valuation methods for the above-mentioned items are described at the beginning of these notes under accounting policies. For investment property, the method is set out in section 17.4.12 "Investment property", for financial investments in subsidiaries and associates in section 17.4.13 "Financial investments in subsidiaries and associates", and for financial investments in section 17.4.14 "Financial investments and assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk".

The Group's net premiums earned increased by EUR 44.1 million, mainly due to higher gross premiums written by non-life insurers (primarily growth in FOS business written by the non-life insurer in Slovenia in cooperation with various companies within the EU Member States. This chiefly includes motor and general liability policies). As a consequence, premiums ceded to reinsurers and co-insurers, and the change in unearned premiums were also higher.
Sava Re's net premiums earned increased by EUR 3.7 million. Gross premiums written increased by EUR 14.9 million (mainly due to higher premiums received from Zavarovalnica Sava). Gross premiums written abroad increased by EUR 1.9 million due to the growth in non-proportional business outside the Group. The balance of net unearned premiums increased compared to year-end 2018 as the result of growth in gross premiums written.
In 2019, the Company received dividends from its subsidiaries amounting to EUR 36.9 million (2018: EUR 33.6 million). In 2019, the Company incurred no expenses relat ing to its investments in subsidiaries (2018: EUR 4.0 million).
In the first consolidation of Sava Infond in 2019, the Group revalued the equity inter est of Zavarovalnica Sava in the investee, in the amount of EUR 2.7 million.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTENTS
The error relates to the valuation of the investment in the subsidiary Illyria Hospital. The impairment loss on the investment arises out of the drop in the value of the land owned by this subsidiary company. Over the years, the company diligently tested the value of the land based on professional appraisals. After additionally engaging certified real estate appraisers, it was found that the prior-year appraisals failed to consider all material circumstance.
In the past, the Company netted its total deferred tax assets against its deferred tax liabilities. It was established that these must not be netted in full, which the company corrected in 2019, with relevant adjustments to all comparative periods.

The impact of the virus as an external factor has had a severe effect on economic activity. The overriding assumption used in our assessments is that the viral infection will last for one quarter (to the end of June 2020). We assume that economic activity will then gradually return to growth over the next three quarters because the cause of the economic slowdown is a virus rather than structural problems or imbalances in the local or global economies.
So far, no measures have been taken by the insurance regulator, but the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority has already announced the possibility of additional measures on their part to help insurance companies in the current situation. In our assessment of the expected impacts
of the virus, we did not take into account the assumption that we will use or need help from the regulator or the state.
By the date of the approval of the 2019 year-end financial statements, the management of the Company/Group identified the following key risks with potential negative impacts on operations and operating results:
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organisation declared the outbreak of the novel coronavirus a pandemic. In Slovenia, the government declared an epidemic on 12 March 2020. In their efforts to contain the effects of realised operational risk, Sava Re (the Company) and its other Group companies are following their business continuity protocols because the health of our staff and customers is paramount. At the time of preparing this announcement, it is not yet possible to measure all the impacts on the Group's operations. The Company will keep investors and other stakeholders informed of potential impacts as soon as these can be assessed and to the extent that they materialise. The sensitivity of the Group's results to various risks are discussed in the risk management section. In our assessment, the management have assumed that reinsurers will fulfil their obligations to the Group and Sava Re under all existing programmes.
Based on a number of publicly available macroeconomic projections, an economic slowdown is very likely and a transition into recession is possible. In addition, lower general consumption contributes to lower demand for insurance services because GDP growth is closely correlated with premium volume. The operations most exposed to the risk of a global economic downturn and volatility in financial markets are investment fund management, pension companies and insurances of the person. The Group does not rule out the possibility that other classes of business will also be impacted.
In March 2020, ZTSR d.o.o., the 50-50 joint venture of Sava Re in Zavarovalnica Triglav d.d., completed the acquisition of the health-care provider Diagnostic Centre Bled d.o.o. (Diagnostični center Bled).
CONTENTS
ertheless, we assess the combined ORSA scenario as a conservative estimate of risks and their possible magnitude.
In the ORSA, which is used as approximation for the coronavirus impact assessment, the solvency calculation was conducted in accordance with the Solvency II formula. In the assessment of the solvency position we did not take into account any regulatory measures taken.
A combined scenario for the Group included the following individual scenarios:
For Sava Re alone, the same methodology as for the Group was used, but we tested only combined scenarios of two individual scenarios: the financial scenario and the natural catastrophe scenario. For Sava Re the life and non-life scenarios are not relevant.
In the original ORSA financial scenario, the impact on the financial investments portfolio was estimated by simulating the impacts of the 2008–2009 financial crisis on the portfolio estimate as at year-end 2019. The following assumptions were used for this simulation:
Among the insurance classes that the Group expects to be most impacted in terms of premiums are travel insurance due to trip cancellations, corporate non-life insurance due to an economic downturn, and motor insurance due to both the expected delay in policy renewal and the decline in premiums from insurance of rental cars, goods vehicles and passenger cars, where a decline in new vehicle sales is also expected due to lower general consumption.
Related to the increased loss experience, we can expect an impact on the results of life-long, unit-linked and risk life products. In view of the restrictions on contact by agents and the hours our offices and agencies remain open, we expect premiums from new life business to decline. We also expect certain losses from insolvency and business interruption insurance sold to businesses in the industry.
The outbreak of the coronavirus epidemic could cause a short-term severe decline in economic activity, followed by a drop in riskfree interest rates, widening of credit spreads on debt instruments, and a drop in stock, infrastructure and real estate investments.
A drop in capital markets and developments in the insurance industry will also have an impact on the Group's eligible own funds and solvency capital requirement, and consequently on its solvency position. Because it is difficult to make educated guesses at this early stage of the epidemic, we did not quantify its impact on the stresses and scenarios yet. Instead, we used own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) for 2020 as an approximation, and we present the correlation below. As already mentioned, we expect the coronavirus to have several impacts on our business related to our investments and insurance portfolios, as well as other areas.
In the ORSA, the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re considered individual scenarios and a combination of scenarios to assess their overall impact on operations and capital adequacy. In determining the scenarios, we proceeded from our own risk profile of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re and tried to identify which events could have a material impact on our operations and capital adequacy. The assumptions made in the scenarios developed for ORSA were compared with identified risks related to the coronavirus. We assessed that ORSA scenarios covered the main risks, and the assessment of the scenario consequences is even more conservative than the expected consequences of the coronavirus (in particular with respect to potential effects of the financial scenario as presented further below). We have not yet quantified the coronavirus effects; nev-
The Group and Sava Re assess liquidity risk as not significant because it maintains a very liquid portfolio of financial investments for the settlement of its obligations arising out of insurance or other contracts.
While we expect the solvency ratio to decline, we have estimated that it would remain well above the regulatory requirement of 100% and above the minimum solvency ratio as set in the Group's risk strategy for 2020–2022, at 150% (the same as for Sava Re). Thus, even if all the assumptions in the combined scenario are realised, we believe that the capital position of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re will remain adequate.
All this shows that the coronavirus situation could have a material impact on the performance of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re, but management has assessed that it is not expected to threaten their solvency thanks to their high solvency ratios. We also believe the liquidity risk will not be significant in the next 12 months, and consequently that the Group and the Company can continue their business operations, and that the going concern assumption is valid. Our assumption is based on our cash flows from core business expectations and the investment portfolio structure, which will provide adequate liquidity for a prolonged period of distressed economic factors.
In line with measures taken by the Slovenian government, imposing nationwide restrictions on "all but essential" services, and expert recommendations to shut down public life, the Sava Insurance Group has also set up measures to protect people's health and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
In its efforts to contain the effects of realised operational risk, the Sava Insurance Group is following its business continuity protocols because the health of its staff and customers is paramount. To this end, the Slovenian members of the Sava Insurance Group entered a hybrid mode of operation (working partly in the office and partly from home) as of Monday, 16 March 2020, with employees predominantly working remotely.
In accordance with the business continuity protocols and recommendations of the crisis management group, the Group companies have mapped all key and urgent processes and have ensured that they are running smoothly with employees working from their homes. The employees have safely relocated the required means of work to their home environments. The Group companies in the area of claims handling are taking into account country-level measures and the behaviour of other entities on the market. In the case of an emergency that needs to be resolved immediately and that cannot be remotely resolved, an on-call team is scheduled for dispatch to the field to perform an inspection using the required protective equipment.
Regarding the employees involved in all key processes, there is daily information available on their health condition. There is also daily information available on the hybrid mode of operation.
The currently not yet quantified adjustment of these ORSA assumptions to the consequences of the coronavirus are estimated as follows:
Government bonds: We believe that it is very likely that the effects of the coronavirus on government bonds will be very similar to the effects in 2008–2009 and, based on available information on movements in government bonds, we expect a materially higher increase in the value of Sava Re's portfolio of government bonds, given the material increase in returns on the safest investments.
Corporate bonds and loans: we expect the value of corporate bonds to decline by 40% to 60% of the assumed declines used in the 2008–2009 ORSA financial crisis scenario. We believe that the likelihood of widening of credit spreads due to the coronavirus with the intensity assumed under the ORSA scenario is relatively low due to the following circumstances:
Equity securities and property: we expect the value of invested assets to decline by 60% to 90% of the assumed declines used in the 2008–2009 ORSA financial crisis scenario. Our expectation is based on the following circumstances:
Overall we believe that an epidemic would have a smaller impact on profit than projected by the 2008–2009 ORSA financial crisis scenario, mostly due to the expectation that recovery after the epidemic is expected to be faster than observed in the 2009–2009 crisis because the trigger of the economic slowdown is not structural (low capitalisation of the financial sector and excessive debt) but rather a severe external factor, which we assume will have a relatively short duration (less than 12 months).
The overall impact of the combined scenario described above is that the eligible own funds of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re would decline by a material amount. The decline would be partly offset by a lower solvency capital requirement, primarily as the result of a lower value of financial investments.
