BUSINESS REPORT

Caring for people is the cornerstone of business relationships

Caring for each other permeates every facet of our business environment. In addition to donating and organising activities, we regularly participate in blood drives. As an insurer, we recognise the importance of responding in a timely manner in times of distress, and we encourage active community involvement at all levels. Because business is about people, and caring is at the heart of every relationship.

1 Letter from the chairman of the management board2

Dear Shareholders, Business Partners and Employees,

The financial year 2023 was another trying year that brought completely new challenges for the Sava Insurance Group. The war in Ukraine led to a surge in inflation. In addition, Slovenia and other countries in which the Group operates were hit by severe storms and floods during the summer, resulting in significant damage to property. We focused our efforts on fasttrack claims handling to fulfil our "Never Alone" promise, offering policyholders the necessary support and assistance. First and foremost, we stood by our customers on the ground by simplifying the reporting and claims handling processes. Then, we provided an extra day of volunteering leave and financial support to the worst-affected areas. The loss events resulted in claims totalling EUR 88 million, with a lower impact on the Group's result due to adequate reinsurance protection.

Despite the significant impact of these claims, particularly on Zavarovalnica Sava, the Group exceeded its profit guidance. The Group's other operating segments performed better than planned. Sava Re's business in international reinsurance markets contributed significantly to the above-target performance. The market growth in reinsurance prices over the last few years, the restructuring of the reinsurance portfolio to improve

profitability and the absence of major claims were the driving forces behind the strong outperformance of the profit target. In addition, the investment result played a significant role in exceeding the plan. Due to rising interest rates, the Group's investment return was 2.1%, 0.6 percentage points higher than planned. The Group's companies that manage financial assets also closed 2023 well ahead of target. This performance was driven by both capital market movements and increased inflows into the funds. All this helped to miti-

gate the negative impact of the storm and flood losses. The Group achieved strong organic growth across all segments and markets, bringing our business volume to EUR 910 million, which is almost a 15% increase year on year. I am confident that we will exceed the EUR 1 billion threshold by the end of the strategy period. We are pleased that our Group companies are vastly improving their market position and expanding their product range and sales channels. Our strong organic growth is supporting us to operate more cost-effectively. The Group's revenue growth also demonstrates its ability to respond to external circumstances by adjusting pricing, thus ensuring stable performance.

The Group achieved strong organic growth across all segments and markets, bringing our business volume to EUR 910 million, which is almost a 15% increase year on year.

bility credentials, products targeted at specific policyholder segments, and products promoting online sales and bancassurance. In the life and pension business, our focus over the past year was to expand the life risk insurance ecosystem by adding more customer services, developing additional health coverage options, and upgrading unit-linked life insurance and bancassurance products.

The customer solutions and processes put in place during the last strategy period helped speed up claims handling, which has already resulted in faster settlement of storm and flood claims. Continuing our customer-centric approach and optimising our business processes are both focus areas that will maintain momentum in the 2023–2027 strategy period. These focus areas will drive further improvements in our business – particularly in streamlining our business processes and enhancing our relationship with customers at all points of the customer journey. In the non-life business, we further developed our product range in line with the needs and wishes of our customers. We offered products with strong sustainaenergy-efficient premises, which has already helped to reduce our carbon footprint for 2023. Last year, we began systematically collecting and processing data across our value chains (insurance portfolio, investment portfolio and suppliers) to identify the necessary actions to achieve our sustainability goals. In terms of organisational structure, sustainability was being progressively integrated into the Group companies' operations in 2023 and is now increasingly taken into account in day-to-day activities. Our employees are actively developing a culture of sustainability to set an example for the wider community. This involves organising a number of volunteer activities as part of the Heart for the World initiative. In 2023, our employees dedicated more than 5,000 hours to corporate volunteerism.

In 2023, an independent institution verified our carbon footprint calculation for the previous year. This calculation provides the basis for setting more precise milestones on our way towards our strategic target of reducing our carbon footprint by 55% in scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030. An important measure taken was relocating the head offices of six Slovenian companies and one Macedonian insurance company to new, more Another important milestone in 2023 was the successful transition to the new IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 accounting standards, which required a substantial effort from our employees and involved restructuring some IT systems, processes and organisation over the past few years. I believe the transition has been successful, and I am confident that the data collected at the end of the project will help us better monitor our business and respond more quickly to emerging risks.

To sum up, 2023 posed a particular challenge for the Group due to the unprecedented scale of the summer floods that affected a considerable part of Slovenia. I am proud that the Group demonstrated these three qualities in such circumstances:

Heart – our loss adjusters, agents and other colleagues gave their "all" to ensure that the policyholders affected were able to get their claims paid as quickly as possible.

Flexibility – although the structure of an insurance company is complex, some processes at Zavarovalnica Sava were streamlined in response to the massive flood damage.

Business line diversification – the Group ended the year with a solid performance despite the significant impact of flood claims on the business result. In particular, reinsurance in international reinsurance markets performed significantly better than planned in 2023. In addition to external influences, this is due to the hard work of our reinsurance team to improve the portfolio towards profitability over the last few years.

Many thanks to all our colleagues for their contributions and efforts in 2023. We have shown that by working together, we can overcome major challenges and accomplish ambitious goals.

Marko Jazbec Chairman of the Management Board of Sava Re d.d.

In terms of organisational structure, sustainability was being progressively integrated into the Group companies' operations in 2023 and is now increasingly taken into account in day-to-day activities.

CONCLUDING FINDINGS

The year 2023 was marked by a challenging global geopolitical and economic situation, and in August Slovenia (and the wider nearby region) were hit by flooding on an unprecedented scale. This presented the Sava Insurance Group with new challenges. The supervisory board notes that the advanced risk management system, timely actions, capital strength and customer focus of the Company enabled the Sava Insurance Group to achieve virtually all the goals set in its plan for the 2023 financial year, despite the aforementioned loss events and despite the difficult business environment. This assessment of the supervisory board is also based on the report of the independent auditor on the financial statements of Sava Re d.d. and the Sava Insurance Group for 2023, and those of the key function holders of the Company's risk control system.

As of 2023, the Sava Insurance Group made the transition to the new accounting standards IFRS 17 and IFRS 9. The standards have been successfully introduced into regular reporting processes at all levels.

In 2023, the Sava Insurance Group entered the 2023– 2027 strategy period with a new strategy that strategically builds upon and further strengthens the previous strategy period.

In 2024, the supervisory board will also pay particular attention to overseeing the management of risks arising from business operations, taking into account the challenging geopolitical situation. In 2024, in addition to its day-to-day responsibilities, it will focus in particular on monitoring the implementation of the 2024 business plan and the five-year strategy.

Equally so, the supervisory board will continue to give its steadfast support to the management board, within the scope of its responsibilities, possibilities, and defined powers.

The Company's management board submitted the audited Annual Report of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d. for 2023 for approval to the supervisory board. The audit committee of the supervisory board has reviewed the unaudited and the audited annual reports of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d. for the year ended 31 December 2023, including the auditor's pre-audit report to the management, the auditor's letter to the management on the audit, and the additional auditor's report to the audit committee on the audit of the financial statements as at 31 December 2023, prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 537/2014, together with the committee's opinion thereon. In accordance with its powers, the supervisory board examined the audited annual report at its session on 4 April 2024.

The supervisory board notes that the annual report for 2023 is clear and extensive, and complies with the content and disclosure requirements of the Companies Act, International Financial Reporting Standards and Insurance Act with its implementing regulations.

The supervisory board has also noted the opinion of the auditor Deloitte Revizija d.o.o., Dunajska Cesta 165, 1000 Ljubljana, which audited the 2023 annual report of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d. and carried out audit reviews in all of the Group's subsidiary companies. The supervisory board agrees with the positive opinion of the authorised auditor Deloitte, who finds that the consolidated and separate financial statements provide, in all material respects, a fair view of the financial position of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d. as at 31 December 2023, and their profit or loss, other comprehensive income and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union.

Based on its review of the 2023 annual report, and based on the opinion of the external auditor and the opinion of the audit committee, the supervisory board is of the opinion that the annual report gives a true and fair opinion of the assets and liabilities, financial position, profit or loss, and cash flows of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d.

The supervisory board hereby approves the audited Annual Report of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re d.d. for 2023 as submitted by the management board.

DETERMINATION OF AND PROPOSAL FOR APPROPRIATION OF DISTRIBUTABLE PROFIT OF SAVA RE

The supervisory board has also reviewed the management board's proposal for the appropriation of the distributable profit as at 31 December 2023, subject to final approval by the general meeting of shareholders of Sava Re. The supervisory board of Sava Re d.d. gives its consent to the management board's proposal to the general meeting regarding the appropriation of the distributable profit as at 31 December 2023 of EUR 57,546,609.84; EUR 27,120,968.00 to be appropriated for dividends, and the remaining part of the distributable profit of EUR 30,425,641.84 to be left unallocated as retained earnings. Thus, the proposed gross dividend per share is EUR 1.75.

The supervisory board proposes that the general meeting of shareholders grant discharge to the management board for the financial year 2023.

The operation of the supervisory board and its committees in 2023 is detailed in section 4 "Report of the supervisory board".

5.3.4 Management board

The management board runs the Company and represents it in public and legal matters. It is composed of at least two but no more than five members, of whom one is the chair. The chair and members of the management board are ap pointed by the supervisory board for a period of five years. Such appointments are renewable without limitations. The chair and all members of the management board are in reg ular employment on a full-time basis. The exact number of management board members and the areas for which they are responsible is laid down by the supervisory board in the Act on the Management Board of Sava Re d.d.

The management board is composed in a manner to ensure responsible oversight and decision-making in the best inter est of the Company. The management board's composition takes account of the diversification of technical knowledge, experience and skills, and the way members complement each other so as to form a homogenous team and ensure sound and prudent conduct of the Company's business. In 2023, the Company sought to align the composition of the management board with the Company's policy on diversity of the management and supervisory boards.

The Company's policy on diversity of the management and supervisory boards is posted on the Company's website.

In 2023, the gender balance on the management board was 33.33% women and 66.67% men until 21 March 2023, and 25% women and 75% men from 22 March 2023. The im plementation of the policy on diversity of the management board in 2023 is detailed below.

Terms of reference and operation of the management board

The management board operates in accordance with the applicable legislation, particularly the Slovenian Companies Act and the Insurance Act, as well as with the articles of association and the act on the manage ment board and its rules of procedure. Terms of ref erence and operation of the management board are defined in more detail in the Rules of Procedure of the Management Board of Sava Re d.d.

Delimitation of competencies between the manage ment and supervisory bodies is described in greater detail in the Corporate Governance Policy of Sava Re d.d., which is posted on the Company's website.

Remunerations, compensation and other benefits

The remuneration of the management board mem bers consists of a fixed and a variable component. The variable component of the salary of a management board member is composed of (1) business-perfor mance-based pay, (2) individual-performance-based pay linked to the annual goals of each management board member and (3) team-performance-based pay relating to joint goals of the management board. The variable component must not be determined so as to allow the rewarding of behaviour that encourages the exposure of the Company to uncontrolled risk. Remu neration, reimbursements and other benefits of man agement board members are set out in the employ ment contract made between the Company and each management board member. The methodology used to

establish both the variable pay and the amount of the
bonus of each management board member is adopted
by the supervisory board. Sava Re prepared an update
of its remuneration policy in 2023. For more details
on the remuneration policy, please refer to the section

5.4 Internal control and risk management systems relating to financial reporting20

Internal controls comprise a system of guidelines and processes designed and implemented by Sava Re at all levels to manage risks associated with, among other things, financial reporting, for both Sava Re and the Sava Insurance Group. These controls work to guarantee the efficiency and effectiveness of operations, the reliability of financial reporting and compliance with applicable external and internal regulations.

Apart from the Slovenian Companies Act (ZGD-1), Sava Re is governed by the Slovenian Insurance Act (ZZavar-1), 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 are issued by the Insurance Supervision Agency and strictly complied with by the Company.

Financial controls are closely linked to information technology controls, which aim, among other things, to limit and control access to the network, information and applications, and to control the completeness and accuracy of data input and processing. The latter is established at the Group and parent company level through compliance with the information security policy and the enforcement of security policies.

Internal controls applicable to financial reporting on a consolidated basis are set out in the internal accounting rules and the Sava Insurance Group Financial Control Rules.

review and monitoring of transactions, department changes, regular training and mentoring.

The valuation of assets and liabilities arising from insurance and reinsurance contracts follows the foureyes principle, while the calculations are based on the valuation methodology for insurance and reinsurance contracts in accordance with IFRS 17. In addition, for consolidation purposes, additional internal controls are in place to review the consolidation processes for manual data entry and internal controls over items where adjustments are made to the Group, as well as controls over all the procedures carried out for the Group (e.g. consolidation adjustments). Members of the Group submit the financial information required for the prepa-

Internal controls, which are mainly preventive and detective in nature, include regular checks on account balances, reconciliation of subsidiary records with general ledger balances, built-in system controls (access restrictions, segregation of duties, limit systems and authorisations), automation of reporting and transfers between systems, additional manual controls on reporting and checks on consolidation packages. Reporting consistency is achieved through the use of a uniform data reporting system. Internal controls include the four-eye principle, information transfer (including with subsidiaries), regular meetings, ongoing monitoring of announced regulatory ration of the consolidated financial statements in reporting packages, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the parent company's guidelines, within the time limits set out in the Company's financial calendar. 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 and control of financial data between subsidiaries and the parent company 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.

A system of internal controls is also in place for other important business processes. Effective risk management requires that companies ensure a functioning and established internal control system. The systematic internal controls of companies ensure the achievement of its objectives in terms of the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations, the reliability, timeliness and transparency of internal and external reporting, and compliance with applicable laws, legal provisions and internal regulations. All major business processes have been specified, including details on control points and the persons responsible for each control. 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, allocating investments and prohibiting trading based on inside information.

Other entities authorised by Sava Re to provide individual services must do so in compliance with the law, implementing regulations, service contracts, internal rules and work instructions in force at Sava Re.

The risk management department monitors improvements in the internal control environment and keeps track of internal controls in the internal control register, which is linked to the risk register. In accordance with the Insurance Act, Sava Re has its own internal audit department, which provides assurance and advice to the management board on how to increase added value and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations. The internal audit department assists the Company in achieving its goals by systematically and methodically assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the governance, risk management and internal control systems and making recommendations for their improvement. The internal audit also reports on its findings to the management board, the audit committee and the supervisory board.

5.5 External audit

In 2022, a contract was signed with Deloitte Revizija d.o.o., Dunajska 165, 1000 Ljubljana, for the audit of the financial statements for the period 2022–2024.

Deloitte has also audited the financial statements of Sava Re and the Sava Insurance Group for 2022 and 2023. In 2022 and 2023, the Group's subsidiary companies were audited by the local audit staff of the same auditing firm.

5.6 Disclosures in accordance with Article 70(6) of the Companies Act21

The composition of Sava Re's share capital, the list of qualified shareholders under the Slovenian Takeovers Act as at 31 December 2023, the rights and obligations attached to the shares, the restrictions on share transfer and the absence or existence of shares carrying special control rights are presented in section 3 "Shareholders and share trading".

Important agreements that become effective, change or terminate after a public takeover bid results in a control change

Sava Re limits its exposure by reinsuring its own ac count (retrocession). As is customary in the industry, retrocession contracts contain provisions governing contract termination in cases involving significant changes in ownership or control of the counterparty.

Agreements between an entity and members of its management or supervisory bodies on com pensation in case of (i) resignation, (ii) dismissal without cause or (iii) termination of employ ment relationship due to any bid specified in the law governing takeovers

A management board member is also entitled to sev erance pay in the event of termination of their office by mutual consent, in which case there must be no grounds of fault for their removal from office, in con junction with the termination of their employment relationship with a company of the Sava Insurance Group.

The parent company's management and supervisory bodies are the Group's bodies responsible for the proper governance and supervision of the entire Group and for setting up a governance framework appropriate to the structure, business and risks of the Sava Insurance Group as a whole and of its individual members.

The parent company fully exercises its governance function by setting the business strategy from the top down, taking into account both the Group as a whole and its individual members. For optimal capital allocation and resilience against unforeseen events, capital allocation and capital adequacy are managed on the Group level following the top-down principle. As part of its risk strategy, the Group sets the risk appetite at the Group level and the level of its members.

The Group has set up a systematic approach to risk management, including risk management at the level of individual companies, appropriate monitoring of the risks of individual companies by the parent company and risk management at the Group level. The latter takes into account any interaction between the risks of individual Group companies, in particular risk concentration and other material risks associated with the operation of the Group.

Management or supervisory bodies of Sava Insurance Group subsidiaries individually pursue the same values and corporate governance policies as the parent company, unless otherwise required by law, the local regulator or based on the principle of proportionality. Therefore, the management or supervisory bodies of each Sava Insurance Group subsidiary, as part of their responsibility for the governance of their company with regard to the implementation of the Group's policies, consider the need for any adjustments to local legislation as well as any other necessary adjustments and, in accordance with the procedures set out in the Group's policies, determine their adjustments to these policies, ensuring that the subsidiary complies with applicable laws, implementing regulations and the rules of sound and prudent operation.

The governance of the Sava Insurance Group is described in more detail in the Corporate Governance Policy of Sava Re d.d. posted on the Company's website.

6 Mission, vision, strategic focus and goals

6.1 Our purpose23

Through a positive climate, good business culture, continuous training and investments in employees, we contribute to the ongoing 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, ongoing training of employees and external stakeholders, and the utilisation of synergies among Sava Insurance Group companies. The social responsibility demonstrated reflects the values on which we intend to focus more in the future.

We are working to become a recognised provider of comprehensive insurance and reinsurance services in our target markets, to create a climate of trust and loyalty among our stakeholders and to be recognised as a company that communicates fairly and transparently. We strive 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.

OUR VISION

We are building a customer-centric, flexible and sustainability-oriented insurance group.

OUR VALUES

We build relationships with care, integrity and respect.

We exceed customer expectations through our ongoing effort to make improvements and strengthen relationships.

We are active in relation to our natural and social environment.

OUR MISSION

Through commitment and constant progress, we ensure security and quality of life.

The strategy of the Sava Insurance Group sets out strategic goals in two ways, based on its three key focus areas in the 2023–2027 strategy period and based on the Group's key pillars of business operations.

Key Group pillars

Insurance Non-life, EU Life, EU Non-life, non-EU Life, non-EU

Integral risk management

• The Group will take the customer-at-the-centre approach to the next level by always ensuring that customers, their wishes and their needs are central to the way business is done. To this end, the Group has set itself three objectives. The first objective is customer-oriented communication, which is achieved by integrating all communication channels through a centralised customer relationship management system. The second objective is to establish a hybrid sales model that will allow the sales network to focus on more complex types of insurance and on advising customers. The third objective is to set up self-care platforms, such as customer portals, websites, and mobile applications, which will improve customer service during sales, claims handling and other services.

• The Group has two key objectives in optimising its business processes: to speed up and simplify customer service and internal processes. This will also help achieve cost efficiency, which will play a more important role in the next strategy period than in the past, given the changed macroeconomic environment. To achieve this strategic priority, the Group will undertake a comprehensive review of its processes to identify opportunities for improvement. Processes will then be redesigned, and any other necessary changes will be made to align the organisation with these new

processes.

• The Group will pursue sustainability in all key areas: environmental, social and governance. It will continue to support global sustainability trends and focus on goals related to climate change and caring for the health and well-being of its customers, employees and the wider community.

Long-term strategic targets:

  • Over a five-year period, we will achieve a return on equity (excluding the fair value reserve) of between 9.5% and 10.5%.
  • Over the 2023–2027 period, the solvency ratio at the Sava Insurance Group level will be between 170% and 210% (within the optimal capitalisation range).
  • Non-life (re)insurance operations will achieve an underwriting combined ratio not exceeding 95%.
  • The return on the Group's investment portfolio, net of subordinated debt expenses, will increase to reach 2.2% in 2027.

6.3 Business plan of the Sava Insurance Group for 2024

The Sava Insurance Group has set the following financial targets for 2024.

6.4 Goals achieved in 202324

6.4.1 Targets achieved in 2023

Achievement of targets in 2023

The Sava Insurance Group achieved all its financial targets in 2023. It increased its business volume to EUR 910.1 million, 13.8% ahead of plan. All operating segments exceeded their targets. The net profit was EUR 64.7 million, which translates into an above-target return on equity. The combined ratio deteriorated compared to last year due to the summer storms in Slovenia and other markets in which the Group operates, but it remained within the target range. The Group's active management of its investment portfolio also resulted in a return well above the lower end of the target range. The reinsurance segment and the net investment result were the main contributors to the above-target performance.

Planned profit

6.4.2 Achievement of strategic targets

Goals achieved in the Group's strategic focus areas

Customer at the centre

The main customer-centricity activities focused on consolidating customer support processes in call centres and introducing multichannel solutions in several companies of the Sava Insurance Group, with an emphasis on managing processes involving a large number of organisational units and additional interconnected communication channels.

We enhanced our digital and self-service solutions for customers, especially those dedicated to online sales, and optimised the user experience.

We launched a technology- and design-focused transformation of Zavarovalnica Sava's website on a target digital customer experience management platform, making possible a simplified roll-out of this solution to other Group companies.

At Zavarovalnica Sava, we implemented a solution to automate digital communication and used it to launch additional e-communication campaigns, increasing the share of electronic communication to 13.2%.

Process optimisation

By optimising business processes and, at the same time, planning the IT solutions on which business processes are implemented, we have standardised internal procedures for preparing functional specifications, adapted the way we manage change, and implemented activities to improve our employees' skills required for better-quality process optimisation (full-day workshops, individual training, mentoring and presentations at internal conferences).

The most visible optimisations were implemented in automated claims reporting, the procurement process, automated mass task allocation and extended internal use of the electronic central population register (eCRP of Slovenia).

For the changeover of the core business system in the Slovenian insurance segment, we continued the inventory and simultaneous changes of processes related to product configuration, sales, register of persons, investment accounts, reinsurance, commissions, receipt and control of quotes, bookkeeping and claims.

Sustainable development

We have further enhanced the sustainability of the Group's business in line with our sustainable development strategy. We pay particular attention to reducing the carbon intensity of our operations – through investments in energy efficiency and the digitalisation of processes. By increasing the share of ESG investments in our portfolio and responsible (re)insurance underwriting, we are also bringing sustainability into the value chain and focusing on sustainable elements in our range of products. We support global sustainability trends and focus on goals related to climate change and caring for the health and well-being of our customers, employees and the wider community.

Achievement of strategic goals by key business pillar

Non-life insurance

In the financial year 2023, we continued to successfully pursue the product development and upgrading planned for the strategy period. In terms of products with a strong sustainability component, we expanded our micromobility and solar power products to the non-EU markets while responding to additional market requirements by modifying some of our products (personal accident, health and assistance insurance). At the Group level, we further strengthened our cooperation with banks, launched credit protection insurance to cover borrowers in the event of their inability to repay a loan due to accidental death, loss of employment, illness and similar risks, and successfully prepared the technical basis for redesigning non-life policies for micro, small and medium-sized companies. We successfully addressed the challenges associated with the development of claims inflation, and we began to work more broadly on changes and adjustments to non-life underwriting rules in light of the emerging reality of increasingly extreme climate change. We responded in

good time to the increased reporting standards associated with the EU Taxonomy on sustainability and, following the successful acquisition of ASP.ins, prepared a more concrete roadmap for the development of software solutions for 2024.

Life insurance and pensions

In the life and pensions segment, in the past year the Group focused on accelerating the increase in the number of policyholders covered by the life risk insurance ecosystem, which provides customers with payas-you-live life insurance while giving them access to a wide range of benefits and services from selected contractual partners. We paid particular attention to developing and enhancing a wide range of additional coverages for health risks, such as critical illness treatment abroad and access to a second opinion, and we further expanded our range of products with new critical illness cover packages. The existing group accident and health insurance packages were redesigned, the unit-linked life insurance products were adapted to the new accounting standards, the selection of bancassurance products was expanded, cooperation was strengthened and new banking partners were gained. In addition, cooperation between the North Macedonian pension company and the new banking partner was established. In process development, the underwriting process in the non-EU markets was overhauled, while in the domestic market the product development and management control processes were upgraded in line with the requirements of the Insurance Distribution Directive.

Reinsurance

EOne of the key strategic focus areas is the appropriate diversification of the reinsurance portfolio, geographically, within individual markets, by classes of insurance and form of reinsurance cover. Sava Re systematically followed this approach when renewing its contracts in 2023. Developments in 2023 remained strongly linked to the geopolitical and macroeconomic picture of the global economy: the situation in the Middle East (Israel and Gaza), the war in Ukraine and the related volatility in global energy markets. The situation was further exacerbated by more severe natural catastrophes (storms, floods, fires, etc.) and other loss events, which led the reinsurance industry to further tighten reinsurance conditions, in terms of both pricing and content (stricter conditions in reinsurance contracts). The main focus was on portfolio restructuring by form of reinsurance, with a shift from proportional

business to non-proportional business, thereby achieving a more appropriate portfolio diversification. There was also a strong strategic focus on a more appropriate geographic diversification, where Sava Re made some significant changes. We reduced concentrations in individual major markets, sought opportunities in markets where Sava Re did not have a strong presence and reduced exposures on individual treaties. This trend is expected to continue in 2024, and, with the measures already introduced and implemented, Sava Re will achieve a better-balanced reinsurance portfolio, in line with the key strategic focus of achieving the required profitability and low volatility of the portfolio.

Asset management

Sava Infond continued to digitalise its business in 2023, maintaining its position in key sales channels and recording positive net inflows into its fund of funds.

Assistance services

In 2023, TBS Team 24 achieved record performance and outstanding operating results. The company efficiently introduced the automatic transfer of case data to non-EU companies and, in cooperation with Zavarovalnica Sava, set up digital reporting of assistance cases. This innovation is key to achieving the company's goal of becoming a digitally focused assistance company.

During the year, TBS Team 24 also expanded its services with the introduction of e-Call services in partnership with some of the world's leading car manufacturers. Together with our partners and our continued investment in digital technologies, the company remains committed to achieving high quality and customer satisfaction standards.

7 Business environment

Global economic developments25

Despite a moderation, high inflation, stagnant euro area economic activity and persistent geopolitical tensions remained at the forefront of 2023. The euro area has been stagnating since the third quarter of 2022, and this is projected to continue until mid-2024. The slowdown is the result of several factors, including tight monetary policy and lower savings surpluses, as well as external factors, such as the general weakness of the global industrial cycle and the energy shock in the region. The expected level of gross domestic product (GDP) is below the pre-pandemic trend and business sentiment in Europe is weaker, with some of the negative sentiment stemming from a deterioration in the economic outlook for Germany.

Inflation in euro area countries was set to fall from a peak of 10.6% in 2023 to 2.9% at year end. The decline in inflation rates in the euro area and elsewhere in the developed world was mainly due to central banks' restrictive monetary policies. Although inflation is not yet at the European Central Bank's target level, the declining trend in inflation suggests that no further rate hikes are expected, and the market is already pricing in an interest rate cut in 2024. Similar to the euro area, inflation in the US fell from a peak of 9.1% to 3.4% in December 2023. In addition to high inflation, risks to future economic growth include a possible slowdown in the Chinese economy and geopolitical tensions, notably Russia's ongoing military aggression against Ukraine and the war in the Middle East.

A positive factor for future economic growth is the robustness of the US economy, which grew by 3.3% in the fourth quarter despite high interest rate hikes, with consumer spending (as a result of savings during the pandemic) and ample fiscal support being the key drivers of growth. US households and businesses are in a strong financial position, so the likelihood of more serious financial problems is diminished. The year 2023 was better than expected in terms

of returns at year-end 2022. Both shares and bonds closed in positive territory. The European STOXX 600 Index rose by 12.7%, the US S&P 500 Index by 20.3%, and the MSCI ACWI Global Equity Index by 16.3% for the year, all in euro terms. European and US government bond yields also fell in 2023, contributing to the positive performance of government bond indices. As interest rates normalise, the starting point for expected returns on shares and bonds will be historical averages. Higher yields made bonds an attractive asset class again, especially compared with domestic bank deposits, where yields are still very low.

Economic developments in markets in which the Sava Insurance Group operates

Markets in the region were affected by the same factors as mentioned above. In all markets, economic growth continued in 2023 and inflation, while still high, eased slightly compared to the previous year. In most

markets, economic growth in 2024 is estimated to be similar to or slightly higher than in 2023, and average inflation growth rates are expected to moderate.

Impact of the business environment on the operations of the Sava Insurance Group

After 2022, the impact of claims inflation on the Group's business in 2022 increased as the inflation rate rose sharply, and the Group's insurers responded by increasing their premium rates, reducing the impact of claims inflation on the Group's business in 2023. Continued high inflation increased the expenses of Group companies.

In the summer, Slovenia and some other countries in which the Group operates were hit by a wave of storms and floods that caused significant damage to property. The gross claims resulting from these events totalled EUR 88.3 million in 2023 and, taking into account our reinsurance protection, the impact of these events on the Group's result was EUR 27.4 million. The largest impact on the financial performance was reported by Zavarovalnica Sava (EUR 26.4 million). The finance result of insurance companies and the performance of pension and asset management companies benefited from favourable developments in the financial markets, which increased interest income, assets under management and fund inflows.

Sava Re, the parent company of the Sava Insurance Group, transacts the reinsurance business in over 100 countries worldwide27. The following section contains a description of the international non-life insurance market and insurance markets in which the Sava Insurance Group operates.

Global non-life reinsurance markets28

The year 2023 saw a challenging international environment, with both the start of the Israel–Hamas war and the ongoing war in Ukraine, with the associated volatility in global energy markets. Non-life claims showed an upward trend, driven by higher replacement costs compared to the pre-pandemic period. While the pressure on the cost of construction materials generally eased during the year, higher salary and financing costs came to the fore as a result of increased inflation rates in the international environment and restrictive monetary policies by central banks. At the same time, insured losses from natural catastrophes have been on the rise, exceeding USD 100 billion in 2023

for the fourth consecutive year, with climate change and
intensive urbanisation in exposed areas cited as key factors
in the increased frequency and magnitude. Challenging
market conditions have led to a sharp increase in non-life
reinsurance prices in 2023, and the global outlook is for
continued but less pronounced price increases in the fu
ture. Increased geopolitical and macroeconomic instability
weakens growth prospects but reinforces the key role of
insurance in risk transfer. In this context, the closing of
the insurance gap, price increases and higher investment

returns in a higher interest rate environment are positive factors that improve expected profitability.

8 Review of operations of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re35

8.1 Sava Insurance Group

8.1.1 Business volume

Business volume grew by 14.4% to EUR 910.1 million in 2023, mainly driven by growth in non-life and life gross premiums written. In non-life insurance, this growth was generated by higher prices and organic business growth, and in life insurance by strong sales of new policies and additional payments made to existing policies. Business volume increased in all segments.

Insurance revenue grew by EUR 88.6 million, driven by premium growth, particularly in the non-life business, where it increased by EUR 72.3 million due to price increases resulting from claims inflation and due to organic growth. In the reinsurance segment, revenue was up EUR 11.2 million due to a change in its composition towards the more profitable non-proportional business. In the life segment, revenue increased by EUR 4.9 million due to growth in gross premiums and a shift in the portfolio composition towards life risk insurance products. These products have a higher share of premiums counted as insurance revenue compared to those with a savings component.

Insurance revenue by segment (€m)

Claims incurred increased by EUR 97.2 million in 2023. The non-life business accounted for the majority of the increase, at EUR 82.9 million, mainly due to the extreme summer weather events that affected Slovenia, Croatia and Serbia.

Operating expenses increased by EUR 24.5 million in 2023. Acquisition costs were up EUR 12.1 million due to higher sales, while administrative costs increased by EUR 12.4 million, particularly due to higher business volume and general price increases driven by inflation.

Operating expenses by segment (€m)

Expenses for onerous contracts decreased significantly (by EUR 2.1 million, or 50.0%). In 2022, the life business incurred more of these expenses as part of the portfolio moved from profitable to unprofitable following the update of mortality assumptions. However, in 2023, the trend was reversed due to the improved profitability of the non-life business.

The reinsurance service result for 2023 showed a higher surplus due to the difference in the volume of claims between the two years that triggered the reinsurance protection. In 2023, the amounts recovered from reinsurance were significantly higher than in the previous year because of the severe summer weather events.

The net investment result was EUR 27.9 million, up EUR 21.4 million from the previous year. Consequently, the return on the investment portfolio was also higher, at 2.1%. The result improved mainly due to higher interest income from investing at higher interest rates and the net increase in the fair value of FVTPL investments.

The net insurance finance result decreased by EUR 4.2 million due to higher discount rates, which reflect the increase in market interest rates.

Net other operating expenses

Non-insurance revenue increased by EUR 4.1 million to EUR 25.6 million. The major part of this revenue originated from asset management (EUR 19.6 million), where revenue increased by EUR 1.6 million due to more assets under management in pension funds and in funds of a mutual fund management company. The remainder (EUR 6.0 million) was mainly generated by assistance services, where revenue increased by EUR 2.5 million as a result of a higher volume of assistance cases and inflation-adjusted price increases.

Other operating expenses amounted to EUR 51.0 million, up EUR 6.6 million. These expenses included non-attributable expenses (EUR 29.4 million) and expenses of non-insurance companies (EUR 21.6 million). The rise in personnel costs, an increase in the volume of assistance cases due to higher claims volume and inflation, and increased IT service costs were the main reasons for this.

Net profit

Net profit increased by EUR 21.1 million to EUR 79.6 million in 2023. This increase was primarily due to the improved finance result driven by favourable financial markets and partly due to the insurance service result explained earlier. All operating segments ended 2023 with higher profits before tax than in 2022. In absolute terms, the non-life business saw the largest increase, up EUR 10.1 million, followed by the life business, which improved by EUR 5.7 million, the reinsurance business by EUR 2.3 million, pensions and assets under management by EUR 2.6 million and the "other" segment by EUR 0.3 million.

In line with growth in profit before tax, the net profit also increased by EUR 17.7 million. As a result, the return on equity was higher, at 10.8%.

Combined ratio

The combined ratio deteriorated due to both the loss and expense ratios. The level of the loss ratio was a result of an increased claims experience in the non-EU markets caused by extreme weather events during the summer, some larger claims and claims inflation, and a major loss event in the reinsurance segment in early 2023. The movement in the expense ratio was primarily attributable to the extraordinary income in 2022. Without factoring this in, the expense ratio for 2022 would have been 28.5%.

Gross premiums written

Gross written premiums of the non-life segment increased by EUR 95.0 million, or 19.9%. Growth was achieved in all markets, with a 19.5% increase in the EU markets and a 21.7% increase in the non-EU markets. The motor insurance market saw the highest nominal growth across all markets, primarily due to an increase in the price of insurance services in response to the rise in the price of car repair services. In addition, this growth was driven by the acquisition of new policyholders and an upswing in the number of policies sold. In the EU markets, motor insurance experienced the strongest growth in the personal lines segment. In the non-EU markets, in addition to motor premiums, health (up 50.3%) and property (up 18.0%) insurance premiums increased significantly.

As a result, the share of motor insurance in the composition of gross premiums by class of business increased in 2023 compared to 2022.

The insurance service result before reinsurance was EUR 31.7 million lower than in the previous year due to claims events related to summer storms and floods. Reinsurance protection significantly reduced the impact of these large claims on the insurance service result. This result was EUR 5.7 million higher compared to the figure from the previous year. The main reason for this was the increase in insurance revenue, which rose by EUR 72.3 million as a result of growth in gross premiums described earlier. The Group's revenue grew both in its EU markets (EUR 56.2 million) and in its non-EU markets (EUR 16.1 million). It is important to note that in 2022 the insurance service result was impacted by claims inflation and the resulting increase in claims incurred.

Insurance service expenses were up EUR 104.1 million, by EUR 85.4 million in the EU markets and EUR 18.7 million in the non-EU markets. The level of claims incurred was mainly affected by loss events resulting from summer storms and floods. These adverse weather events had the greatest impact on land motor vehicle insurance and property insurance. Operating expenses rose by EUR 20.6 million due to growth in the insurance portfolio, inflationary increases in labour and other costs, and an increase in the statutory fire brigade charge. Expenses for onerous contracts were up EUR 0.6 million due to deterioration in the combined ratio in the property segment resulting from the increased frequency of adverse weather events.

Furthermore, the insurance service result was impacted by an improved reinsurance service result. The volume of claims reinsured in 2023 was significantly higher than in the previous year due to summer storms and floods.

The finance result was up EUR 7.1 million due to an improved net investment result. The latter increased by EUR 9.6 million year on year due to the more favourable conditions in financial markets. In 2022, the result was impacted by negative revaluation of equity securities at fair value through profit or loss, whereas in 2023 these securities had a positive impact, mainly due to higher interest income. The net insurance finance result decreased by EUR 2.4 million due to higher discount rates on insurance contracts resulting from the increase in market interest rates. The return on the investment portfolio improved by 1.6 percentage points to 1.8%.

Net other operating expenses

Net other operating expenses mainly comprise non-attributable operating expenses and income not related to the insurance business. In 2023, these net expenses increased by EUR 2.8 million. The majority of the increase in the non-EU markets, which totalled EUR 2.0 million, was attributable to a one-time event that occurred in 2022 with one of the insurers. At that time, the Group received a one-off income as a result of a court case related to a previous major accident that was settled in the insurer's favour. The remaining EUR 0.8 million mainly relates to higher non-attributable expenses.

Profit before tax

Profit before tax increased by EUR 10.1 million to EUR 31.1 million in 2023. As previously stated, the increase was primarily due to the improved finance and insurance service results.

Combined ratio The combined ratio remained at the same level as last year, at 95.4%. The combined ratio improved by 0.3 percentage points in the EU markets but deteriorated by 2.2 percentage points in the non-EU markets. The improvement in the EU markets was driven by a better loss ratio resulting from higher insurance revenue and a more favourable reinsurance service result from the effective reinsurance cover of the storm and flood claims. The decline in the non-EU markets was due to a higher loss ratio caused by claims from the summer storms, some large individual claims, and increased average claims due to claims inflation. The expense ratio remained unchanged. In the non-EU markets, it outperformed in 2022 as a result of the aforementioned extraordinary income with one of the insurers. Without factoring in this one-off income, the expense ratio in the non-EU markets for 2022 would have been 40.7%.

Gross profit +38.3%

The insurance service result improved by EUR 0.9 million. In the non-EU markets, the result increased due to portfolio growth and lower-than-expected realised claims, whereas in the EU markets it decreased by EUR 0.1 million due to a higher volume of claims incurred.

Insurance revenue grew by 6.0% in the EU markets due to increased sales and a shift in premium composition towards life risk insurance products. These products have a higher share of premiums counted as insurance revenue compared to those with a savings component. The Group's insurance revenue outside the EU increased by 29.7% due to higher sales in the Serbian market and updates to actuarial models and assumptions.

Insurance service expenses rose by 10.1%, mainly as a result of an increase in claims incurred. The latter increased due to the higher volume of business and a slight rise in claims from riders and death benefits on existing policies (e.g. accidental disability and critical illness). This was mainly due to the more favourable claims experience during the Covid-19 pandemic, but, after all restrictions were lifted, population activity increased, leading to an increase in accidents. Operating expenses also increased due to both higher acquisition costs resulting from increased sales and higher administrative costs resulting mainly from inflationary increases in personnel costs, and depreciation and amortisation costs (the start of amortisation of intangible assets related to major projects and depreciation of new premises). The rise in insurance service expenses was slightly offset by a positive change in expenses for onerous contracts of EUR 2.6 million, resulting from the improved expected profitability of the portfolio.

The finance result was up EUR 5.2 million, mainly due to the improved net investment result, which was EUR 5.6 million higher in 2023 because of more favourable conditions in financial markets. In 2022, the result was impacted by negative revaluation of equity securities at fair value through profit or loss, whereas in 2023 these securities had a positive impact, mainly due to higher

interest income. The return on the investment portfolio increased to 2.0%, in line with the improved net investment result.

On the other hand, the more favourable financial market conditions had a negative impact on the net insurance finance result, which decreased by EUR 0.5 million due to the rise in discount rates.

Net other operating expenses

Net other operating expenses increased by EUR 0.4 million as a result of the updated methodology for calculating the insurance service result for the non-EU insurers in 2023. Non-attributable expenses also increased due to inflation.

Profit before tax

The increase in profit before tax of 38.3% was primarily attributable to the improved finance result in the EU markets from the previous year. Meanwhile, the increase in the non-EU markets was mainly a reflection of the improved insurance service result.

Contractual service margin

The 13.7% growth in the contractual service margin was achieved through new business written, maintaining the profitability of the life insurance portfolio. The expected higher future profits were also driven by positive developments in financial markets, which boosted the value of unit-linked life insurance assets and, consequently, the future income from managing these assets. The CMS also increased due to additional single-premium payments to existing policies. The CSM on new business written was EUR 23.3 million, exceeding its release to profit (EUR 17.2 million) by 35.6%, which reflects strong sales and increased profitability.

Gross premiums written

Gross written premiums grew by EUR 2.1 million, the most important being the positive shift in premium composition towards more profitable non-proportional contracts. The premiums for these contracts increased by 19.4%. This growth in gross written premiums was achieved through both rate increases in line with global reinsurance market developments and organic volume growth.

million due to increased insurance revenue and a more favourable reinsurance service result.

Insurance revenue increased by EUR 11.2 million as a result of improved premium composition towards non-proportional reinsurance because these premiums are recognised more quickly in revenue.

Insurance service expenses rose by EUR 11.2 million, with claims incurred accounting for EUR 9.7 million. This increase was mainly due to a major loss event earmillion, primarily due to acquisition costs and partly due to inflation.

The reinsurance service result improved by EUR 0.7 million. Revenue from reinsurance contracts held increased by EUR 3.0 million (recoverable income from a major loss event in 2023), whereas expenses for reinsurance contracts held rose by EUR 2.3 million as a result of the increased volume of reinsurance protection and higher prices.

Finance result and investment return

The finance result improved as a result of a stronger net investment result, which increased by EUR 4.0 million in 2023 due to higher interest income (reinvestment at higher interest rates) and positive revaluation of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss. As a result, the return on the investment portfolio was also higher, at 2.1%.

The net insurance finance result was lower in 2023 due to higher discount rates, reflecting the changed situation in financial markets.

Business volume increased by EUR 1.4 million due to higher asset management revenue. This increase was mainly driven by management fee income, although there was also a rise in income from entry fees.

Insurance revenue was up EUR 0.1 million due to more profitable new business written and gains from exceeding guaranteed returns on annuity accounts.

Claims incurred were slightly higher, which was in line with growth in the part of the portfolio relating to annuities.

Operating expenses rose by EUR 1.5 million due to the inflationary effects, which led to higher service and personnel costs. As a result, the cost-to-income ratio, which excludes one-off income, increased by 1.8 percentage points.

The finance result improved by EUR 1.7 million due to a positive revaluation of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss of EUR 2.2 million. On the other hand, finance expenses for insurance contracts increased by EUR 0.5 million due to higher discount rates. The rate of investment return was also higher, at 2.7%.

Net other operating income/expenses improved by EUR 0.7 million as a result of the sale of a property and the release of provisions for non-achievement of guaranteed returns.

Profit before tax was up EUR 2.6 million, primarily due to higher asset management revenue and an improved investment result driven by favourable financial market conditions.

Assets under management rose by EUR 295.5 million. The main reasons for this increase were the high net inflows into the funds and the 10.2% return achieved. Assets under management increased for all companies in this segment.

8.1.3.1 Equity and solvency

Equity amounted to EUR 585.7 million, up EUR 54.2 million compared to the end of 2022. The increase in the profit for 2023 and a positive change in other comprehensive income were the primary reasons for the overall increase, while the decrease was mainly due to the dividend payouts.

Thus, the Group's estimated solvency position as at 31 December 2023 shows that the Group is well capitalised, with a solvency ratio between 188% and 194% (31 December 2022: 183%). The Group thus has a solvency ratio well above the regulatory requirement of 100% and is well capitalised according to its internal criteria, which define an optimal solvency ratio between 170% and 210%.

8.1.3.2 Contractual service margin

The contractual service margin (CSM) is an estimate of future profits from insurance contracts that relate to future periods and have not yet been recognised in profit or loss. As at 31 December 2023, it totalled EUR 155.3 million (net of reinsurance, EUR 149.4 million). The majority of the contractual service margin (EUR 141.6 million, or 91.2% of the total CSM) arose from the life business, followed by the non-life business with EUR 6.3 million (4.1%) and the reinsurance business with EUR 5.5 million (3.5%), with the remainder attributable to the pensions business (EUR 1.9 million, or 1.2%). In 2023, the contractual service margin increased by EUR 18.9 million, or 13.9%. In the life business, the increase was EUR 17.0 million, or 13.7%. The newly written contracts had a slightly higher contractual service margin than the amount released to profit or loss (specifically, the newly recognised CSM was EUR 46.7 million, whereas the release was EUR 44.9 million). In the life segment, the newly recognised CSM exceeded the release by EUR 6.1 million, and in the reinsurance segment the newly recognised CSM was EUR 5.4 million lower than the release due to the volume of non-proportional reinsurance contracts recognised in 2023. The increase in the contractual service margin was also positively affected by the change in future cash flow assumptions of EUR 15.4 million (primarily in the life segment) due to improved financial market conditions and additional single-premium payments to existing policies. The remainder of the change related to interest and foreign exchange differences.

Movement in the contractual service margin (€m)

8.1.3.3 Risk adjustment

As at 31 December 2023, the risk adjustment was EUR 90.4 million, down EUR 3.6 million compared to the previous year. Around two-thirds of the risk adjustment (EUR 55.8 million) stems from liabilities for claims incurred, mainly in the non-life business (EUR 39.0 million), followed by reinsurance (EUR 16.3 million) and the non-life business (EUR 0.6 million). This part of the risk adjustment decreased by EUR 4.3 million, or 7.1%.

The other part of the risk adjustment (EUR 34.5 million) relates to liabilities for remaining coverage and arises from the life business (EUR 31.1 million), followed by the reinsurance (EUR 1.9 million) and non-life (EUR 1.3 million) business, with the remainder attributable to pensions (EUR 0.2 million). This part of the risk adjustment increased by EUR 0.7 million, or 1.9%, due to portfolio growth.

Restated income statement

The income statement, which is used for the presentation of the operating analysis in the business report, has been restated to present certain categories more clearly and to shorten the line items, as shown in the following table.

The following reclassifications were made:

  • Exchange differences on investments and insurance liabilities are reclassified from the net investment result and net insurance finance result to net exchange gains.
  • Returns on life insurance policies where policyholders bear the investment risk are reclassified from the net investment result to the net insurance finance result.
  • Asset management revenue and income from other Group companies, which are included in net other operating income and expenses, are reported together as non-insurance revenue.
  • Non-attributable expenses and operating expenses of non-insurance companies, which are included in net other operating income and expenses, are collectively reported as other expenses.
  • The share of profit or loss of investments accounted for using the equity method and net income and expenses from subsidiaries and associates are combined under income from investments in subsidiaries and associates.
  • Gains or losses on disposal of discontinued operations are included in net other operating income.

Non-Group gross written premiums grew by EUR 2.1 million, the most important being the positive shift in premium composition towards more profitable non-proportional contracts. The premiums for these contracts increased by 19.4%. The growth in gross written premiums was achieved through both price increases in line with global reinsurance market developments and organic volume growth.

Group gross written premiums increased by EUR 14.4 million (18.4%) as a result of premium growth in the Slovenian market.

Claims incurred

Claims incurred rose by EUR 39.9 million. The higher level of claims incurred for the non-Group business were mainly the result of a major loss event at the beginning of the year, whereas for the Group business they were the result of summer storms in Slovenia and other countries in which the Group operates. Operating expenses increased by EUR 2.0 million in 2023, primarily due to higher acquisition costs for the non-Group business.

The reinsurance service result was stronger compared

to 2022 for both the non-Group and Group business. This was the result of a different mix of claims that triggered the Group's reinsurance protection to a greater extent and were ceded to reinsurers.

The combined ratio improved due to a more favourable loss ratio. The improved loss ratio was a reflection of the stronger ratio for the Group business. The movement in the expense ratio was mainly driven by higher acquisition and other operating expenses.

Finance result and investment return

The finance result improved on the back of a stronger net investment result.

The net investment result increased by EUR 6.0 million compared to 2022 due to higher interest income (reinvestment at better interest rates) and positive revaluation of equity investments at fair value through profit or loss. The return on the investment portfolio was 5.6%.

The result of investments in subsidiaries and associates was EUR 30.8 million, down EUR 21.0 million compared to 2022 due to lower dividends received from subsidiaries. In 2023, there were no impairment losses on subsidiaries, whereas in 2022 an impairment loss of EUR 1.2 million was recognised in subsidiaries..

The net insurance finance result was down EUR 1.9 million as a result of higher discount rates.

Profit or loss for the period

Profit before tax decreased by EUR 10.3 million compared to 2022. Excluding dividends received from subsidiaries, the result would have been EUR 10.9 million higher. In line with the decline in profit before tax, the net profit for the period also decreased by EUR 11.9 million. As a result, the return on equity was lower, at 11.6%.

8.2.3 Financial position

The following are explanations of assets and liabilities that are relevant to the understanding of the Company's financial position.

8.2.3.1 Equity and solvency

Equity amounted to EUR 430.9 million, up EUR 29.2 million compared to the end of 2022. The increase in the profit for 2023 and a positive change in other comprehensive income were the primary reasons for the overall increase, partly decreased by dividend payouts.

Thus, Sava Re's audited solvency position as at 31 December 2023 shows that the Company is well capitalised, with a solvency ratio of 289% (31 December 2022: 266%). The Company thus has a solvency ratio well above the regulatory requirement of 100% and is well capitalised according to its internal criteria, which define an optimal solvency ratio above 200%.

8.2.3.2 Contractual service margin

As at 31 December 2023, the contractual service margin totalled EUR 9.5 million (net of reinsurance, EUR 5.1 million). In 2023, it increased by EUR 1.1 million, or 13.3%. The newly recognised CSM was EUR 15.7 million lower than the CSM released, reflecting a higher volume of recognised non-proportional reinsurance contracts in 2023. The increase in the contractual service margin was also positively impacted by the change in future cash flow assumptions of EUR 16.0 million.

8.2.3.3 Risk adjustment

As at 31 December 2023, the risk adjustment was EUR 30.7 million, down EUR 4.0 million compared to the previous year. The majority of the risk adjustment (EUR 26.8 million) arises from liabilities for claims incurred and decreased by EUR 4.4 million. The other part of the risk adjustment (EUR 3.9 million) relates to liabilities for remaining coverage and increased by EUR 0.4 million due to portfolio growth.

8.2.3.4 Investment portfolio

The investment portfolio is made up of financial investments in subsidiaries, financial investments in associates and joint ventures, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

The Sava Re investment portfolio totalled EUR 699.5 million as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: EUR 679.0 million).

The investment portfolio increased by EUR 20.5 million, or 3.0 percentage points, compared to year-end 2022. The major change in the value of investments was mainly in government and corporate bonds, as available funds from operations and investment maturities and disposals were invested mainly in these types of assets. The level of cash and cash equivalents decreased by almost half as cash was invested in higher-yielding assets. The value of shares and mutual funds fell slightly as a result of the disposals.

9.1 Strategic guidelines for human resource management40

At the Sava Insurance Group, we have set five priorities in human resource management for the 2023–2027 strategy period:

  • 1. Attracting and retaining the best talent: we justify the trust of our employees and take care of the image and reputation of the Sava Insurance Group in the labour market.
  • 2. Development orientation: we ensure continuous identification and targeted development of employees' potential.
  • 3. Performance management: we enable the development of a high-performing culture in which successful employees are supported, rewarded, encouraged to improve and managed effectively.
  • 4. Sustainable operations: we promote a culture based on values, with a focus on diversity, inclusion, well-being and sustainable business.
  • 5. Digitalisation and optimisation: we adapt the organisation, processes, positions and ways of working towards the future of business.

9.2 Key activities in human resource management41

In 2023, our human resource management focused on the following objectives and activities:

  • planning and implementing the communication strategy in line with the employer's promise and image;
  • establishing a system for regularly monitoring employee satisfaction;
  • drafting a policy on human resource development and succession planning;
  • maintaining good climate and commitment among em-
  • ployees, transparent communication and good relationships with internal clients;
  • analysing and planning the digitalisation of human resource processes.

9.3 Employer brand development and management

Our aim is to attract and retain the best people in the Group, and to achieve this we systematically manage the external and internal image of our companies as employers. We carefully plan and implement activities to build the exter-

nal image of the Sava Insurance Group as a group of attractive employers. To this end, we worked with colleagues from Group companies in 2023 to produce and publish an employer video, update the career pages on the companies' websites and strengthen communication through social networks, internal ambassadors, and appearances at corporate events and career fairs.

The companies of the Sava Insurance Group ensure regular internal communication with their employees in a uniform manner. Some companies are also in the process of updating their internal employee portal. Different processes and communication channels allow us to ensure two-way and transparent communication between the employer and the employees. We foster a good climate and commitment among our employees through various events and benefits at the Group, company and organisational unit levels.

9.4 Recruitment and staffing levels

Recruitment is based on timely identification of needs, careful planning and the recruitment of skilled and motivated people, ensuring that they receive induction and training to enable them to integrate quickly into their workplace. We develop and train our employees in line with the needs of the Company and the Group, and strive to create a productive and motivating working environment.

9.5 Employee training and development57

9.5.1 Types and scope of training

We are aware that the personal and professional development of each employee is a prerequisite for the development and attainment of goals at the level of the individual, the company and the entire Sava Insurance Group.

We provide professional and personal development opportunities for our employees by:

  • engaging in work and projects in a culturally diverse international environment;
  • promoting and integrating a wide range of education and training programmes that are relevant to the needs of the workplace and the business, taking into account the individual's personal and career development;
  • encouraging intergenerational cooperation between young talents and experienced employees;
  • identifying promising professional and managerial talent and involving them in targeted development programmes.

We promote the development and transfer of knowledge and skills throughout the Sava Insurance Group. To achieve this, we hold expert meetings for representatives of all companies at events or professional conferences, providing an opportunity to share knowledge and skills and to inform each other of results and plans. In 2023, we held internal conferences for data protection, compliance, human resources, procurement, sustainability, reinsurance, internal audit, actuarial and risk management, finance, controlling and accounting, and IT.

We also hosted an international strategic conference at the Group level, which brought together members of the management and other key personnel from across the Sava Insurance Group, and an Adriatic region conference for non-Slovenian subsidiaries, aimed at members of the management of these companies. The main objective was to address specific issues, problems and opportunities in the non-EU markets.

In 2023, Zavarovalnica Sava received the Top Investor in Education certificate, which is awarded to companies that systematically invest in the education and training of their employees and exceed the national average in at least two out of three selection criteria. We were also nominated as a finalist in the Golden Thread and Štajerska Region Employer of the Year 2023 awards, placing us among the best employers in Slovenia.

9.5.2 Succession planning

In 2023, we have redefined our policy on human resource development and succession planning. Our aim is to place greater emphasis on systematically identifying and securing succession, particularly for key professional and management roles.

Group companies are establishing a process to identify deputies and potential successors for management board members and directors reporting directly to the board, as well as other key management and professional staff.

9.6 Employee management and motivation61

At the Sava Insurance Group, we foster an environment in which our employees can develop and achieve their potential. We continuously invest in the development of leadership competencies and effective collaboration. We encourage employee motivation and commitment to achieving common goals. We recognise and reward good performance. We revamp and adapt our processes in order to provide for effective work organisation and engagement of employees in various projects.

At the Sava Insurance Group, we build and promote a culture of improvement and innovation. The companies have established formal and informal systems for making proposals for improvement and innovation.

9.6.1 Leader development

In all the companies, leaders are the key people who have a significant impact on creating a positive climate, employee engagement, satisfaction and loyalty. It is therefore very important that we invest in their development and strengthen their leadership competencies. Companies organise various forms of development programmes and group and individual coaching sessions for leaders.

For the first time, we organised a "Leader as Coach" training in 2023 for a group of high-potential employees from most Group companies.

9.6.2 Employee benefits62

The Sava Insurance Group offers numerous benefits to our employees:

  • flexible working hours and working from home,
  • preventive health and well-being activities,
  • various sports activities,
  • events for employees (e.g. group and departmental team-building events and pre-New Year's Eve social events),
  • small gifts for personal holidays, work anniversaries and other occasions (e.g. Women's Day),
  • parent-friendly benefits to help parents balance work and family life,
  • various group insurance schemes and more affordable personal insurance,
  • more accessible holiday facilities.

In addition, we offer other benefits to create and encourage team building, a motivating and positive working atmosphere, work-life balance and general well-being in the workplace.

In 2023, we held the second Sava Insurance Group
Sports Games, bringing together employees from all
Group companies and countries. The games have be
come an annual event where employees from different
companies meet, make new friends, nurture old friend
ships and get together in an informal setting.

9.6.4 Health and safety at work64

Our goal is to ensure that our employees feel safe both inside and outside the workplace, which is why occupational safety and health is one of the priorities of the Sava Insurance Group, involving all employees, the management, the human resource department, the accredited occupational health provider and the relevant external professional service. Each year, Group companies carry out various health promotion activities.

9.6.5 Health promotion activities

Throughout the Sava Insurance Group, companies take all the necessary measures for occupational safety, health and fire protection, as required by law and internal regulations. Our companies promptly refer their employees to pre-recruitment and periodical work-related medical examinations as well as to new and periodic training in occupational safety and health, and fire safety.

In 2023, most companies offered employees the opportunity to participate in health days, such as group sports events (hiking, cycling, Nordic walking, skiing and the like), lectures (healthy eating, stress management and healthy lifestyle) or similar individual activities of their choice.

During the year, companies also offer their employees various team sports activities (e.g. volleyball or basketball), short active breaks or more beneficial individual sports activities (e.g. yoga, active exercise or fitness). Some companies also offer their employees healthy snacks or fruit at work.

9.6.6 Ensuring inviolability of individuals and protection of personal dignity

In 2023, we have established a policy on ensuring the inviolability of individuals and the protection of personal dignity at the Group level. Ensuring the inviolability and protection of the personal dignity of employees and others involved in work and business processes is one of the Group's key priorities, and we strive to provide and maintain a safe workplace in which no one is exposed to violence (in particular sexual violence), harassment (in particular sexual harassment), discrimination and bullying.

The inviolability and protection of personal dignity are guaranteed by mechanisms and measures that provide for a clear, transparent, swift and predefined procedure for detecting and sanctioning undesirable conduct, independent decision-making, professionalism, autonomy and independence of the arbitration board, decision-making at a level outside the Sava Insurance Group, and the strictly protected principle of confidentiality of reporting persons and infringers.

As in the previous year, there were no reports of harassment, bullying or other form of violence in the workplace in 2023.

9.6.7 Socially responsible projects and activities65

Corporate volunteerism has been a tradition in all Sava Insurance Group companies, because we believe that by doing so, we do much good in our local communities and give something back to society. In 2023, we organised various events in Slovenian companies, such as planting trees in the Karst region, helping at the zoo and animal shelters, working with the elderly and other vulnerable groups, and collecting clothes and supplies for those in need. Each employee can choose one event and dedicate one day to volunteering activities held by a company. For more information on corporate volunteerism, see section 13 "Sustainability report".

9.6.8 Other activities66

Employees at the Sava Insurance Group can join representative labour bodies in their respective companies. Employee representatives are regularly informed of important changes and involved in their implementation, as required by law.

Group developments are presented to employees on the intranet portal of each company or on the Sava Insurance Group intranet portal.

We encourage employee interaction through various formal and informal meetings. We are committed to a culture in which we communicate in a transparent manner and value mutual respect. Zavarovalnica Sava also received the Family-Friendly Company certificate, awarded by the Ekvilib Institute.

10 Risk management67

We present the risk and capital management systems and the significant risks to which the Sava Insurance Group is exposed. Qualitative and quantitative treatment of risk exposures is presented in section 16.7 "Risk management". These areas will be presented in more detail also in the Solvency and Financial Condition Report of Sava Re as at 31 December 2023, which will be posted on Sava Re's website on 5 April 2024, and in the Solvency and Financial Condition Report of the Sava Insurance Group as at 31 December 2023, which will be published on the Sava Re website on 17 May 2024.

10.1 Risk management system

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 Group is continuously upgrading its risk management system at both the company and Group level.

The risk management system is based on Solvency II requirements, but additionally takes into account the legal specifics of non-insurance companies. The risk management system in these companies is adapted according to the business activities of each of them and the scope of these activities and risks to which a company is exposed. 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 consists of the following key elements:

The Sava Insurance Group has implemented a risk strategy that defines the Group's risk appetite and policies that cover the entire risk management framework, its own risk and solvency assessments and risk management for each risk category. As part of our systematic approach to risk management, we focus on: operational limits;

  • the risk strategy,
  • risk management processes within the first and second lines of defence,
  • the own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) process.
  • establishing a clear risk appetite within the framework of the risk strategy and, on this basis, setting
  • developing our own risk assessment models and improving the ORSA;
  • integrating the ORSA and the risk strategy into business planning and strategy setting;
  • integrating risk management processes into business processes;
  • systematically improving the internal control environment, adapting processes to new activities and monitoring the occurrence of adverse events;
  • establishing appropriate risk management standards in all Group companies, depending on the scope, nature and complexity of the business and the associated risks.

10.1.1 Organisation of risk management

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 effective risk management, the Group uses a three-lines-of-defence model, which clearly segregates responsibilities and tasks among the lines of defence. The first line of defence consists of all organisational units with operational responsibilities. The second line of defence consists of three key functions and the risk management committee, if set up in the company. The third line of defence consists of the internal audit function.

The Group's risk management system is presented in the following diagram.

The Group's risk management system has been set up on a top-down principle, taking into account the specificities of each company. The management board of each company plays a key role and bears ultimate responsibility for the effectiveness of the risk management processes in place and their alignment with the Group's standards and the applicable laws.

The supervisory board of each company also plays an important role by reviewing and approving all key risk-related documents. 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.

Under the second line of defence, the company and the Group have three key functions in place: the actuarial function, risk management function and compliance function. In addition, the Group's large members have a risk management committee in place. Each company ensures the independence of the key functions, which are organised as management support services and report directly to the management board.

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 identifying, assessing, monitoring, managing and reporting on risks. It is also involved in the preparation of the risk strategy and the setting of risk tolerance limits. The risk management function regularly monitors and reports on risks at all levels. It also provides decision-making support to the management board.

The main tasks of the actuarial function in the risk management system are to provide an opinion on the underwriting policy, to provide an opinion on the adequacy of reinsurance arrangements, and to independently verify and challenge the calculation of liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts, including the assumptions, methods and professional judgement used. The actuarial function of each company works in cooperation with the Group's actuarial function.

The main tasks of the compliance function in relation to the risk management system are the identification, management and reporting of non-compliance, including the monitoring of the legal environment, the analysis of existing processes in relation to their compliance with internal and external regulations and any changes to regulations.

The third line of defence is provided by the internal audit function, whose responsibilities are defined in section 11 "Internal auditing in the Sava Insurance Group".

10.1.2 Risk and capital management strategies

The Group seeks to operate in compliance with its business strategy and meet the key strategic objectives while maintaining an adequate capital level. The risk strategy is prepared in line and in parallel with the strategic plan. The Group has adopted the Sava Insurance Group Risk Strategy for 2023–2027, which defines the risk appetite by operating segment, a set of key indicators and their limits, and a set of operational indicators for ongoing monitoring. Each Group company sets its own risk strategy, risk tolerance limits and operational limits based on the Group's risk appetite.

The key indicators for monitoring and measuring compliance with risk appetite are:

  • the solvency ratio,
  • the profitability of the operating segments, including their acceptable level of volatility (tolerance),
  • investment and liquidity indicators.

The Group manages its capital to ensure that each Group company has sufficient funds available, on an ongoing basis, to meet its obligations and regulatory capital requirements. The composition of own funds held to ensure capital adequacy must comply with regulatory requirements.

The solvency ratio is the most important indicator of the risk strategy in relation to capital management. The Group's solvency requirement is designed to meet regulatory and rating agency requirements while maintaining sufficient surplus capital to cover the potential capital needs of the subsidiaries in the event of a major stress scenario materialising in any of them.

10.1.3 Risk management processes

The main risk management processes are identifying, assessing (measuring) and monitoring risks, determining appropriate actions to manage them and reporting on them. Risk management processes are inherently connected with and incorporated into the basic processes conducted at both the company and Group level. They take place in all three lines of defence of the risk management system and are integrated into the decision-making system, so that all important business and strategic decisions are also evaluated from a risk perspective.

Risk identification

As part of the risk identification process, each Group company identifies the risks to which it is exposed. The key risks, which are compiled in each company's risk register and form the company's risk profile, are regularly reviewed, and new risks are added as necessary. Risk identification at the Group level is conducted in the same way. Risk identification in the individual Group companies and at the Group level is both a top-down and a bottom-up process. The top-down approach is mainly used for strategic risks, such as

reputational risk and regulatory risk, and to identify emerging risks. Bottom-up risk identification takes place in individual organisational units and with risk owners (first line of defence).

Risk identification is essentially ongoing, but is particularly important during business planning and for all major projects and business initiatives, such as new product launches, investments in a new asset class, acquisitions and others.

Risk assessment (measurement)

The Group has regular risk assessment (measurement) processes in place for all the risks to which individual companies or the Group are exposed. Risks are measured using both qualitative and quantitative methods, which are constantly being refined.

Different approaches and models are used to measure each risk, depending on their suitability:

  • the Solvency II standard formula,
  • own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA),
  • stress testing and scenario analysis,
  • qualitative risk assessment in the risk register,
  • various risk measures that facilitate the measurement and monitoring of the current risk profile.

Risk monitoring

Risk management takes into account the cost-benefit aspect of each action and any recommendations made by the risk management committee and key functions. If there is a need to adopt a new measure to limit a specific risk, the company concerned will carry out an analysis of this measure, taking into account the aspect of cost-effectiveness in its decision-making process.

Each Group company considers the impact of its business strategy on its risk profile and capital position as part of its business planning. When decisions are made during the year that have a significant impact on the risk profile but were not assessed for risk in the business planning process, the company concerned assesses the impact of these decisions on its own and the Group's risk profile, checks compliance with its risk appetite and takes the necessary action.

Risk reporting

A regular risk reporting system is in place in the larger Group companies and at the Group level. Risk owners report to the risk management function on specific risk categories, such as a predefined set of relevant risk measures and additional qualitative information. On this basis, the risk management function, in collaboration with the risk owners, prepares a risk report covering the overall risk profile of each company. The report is discussed at all levels and is shared with the Group's risk management function. Relevant risk information is also monitored at Group level and reported in the Group's risk report.

10.1.4 Own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA)

ORSA is a process that runs in parallel with business planning. It aims to understand the risk profile and analyse the impact of changes in the risk profile over the next three years on capital adequacy. The analysis takes into account both the standard Solvency II formula and the own risk assessment and impact analysis of various stress tests and scenarios.

The ORSA assesses all significant measurable and unmeasurable risks that could affect the performance of an individual Group company or the Group as a whole. Sustainability risks, in particular climate change risks, including climate scenarios, are also addressed and assessed.

The ORSA is embedded in the decision-making process and ensures that key decisions and the business strategy are made in light of the risks and associated capital requirements. The results of the ORSA are used to review the alignment of the business strategy with the risk strategy. This links business strategy, the risks taken and the resulting capital required, and capital management.

The company's management board, risk management committee and specialist staff from different areas are actively involved in the entire ORSA process.

10.2 Material risks of the Sava Insurance Group

The Group and its individual companies classify all identified risks into the following key risk categories – underwriting risks, financial risks (comprising market risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and the risk of failure to achieve guaranteed returns), operational risks and strategic risks.

In addition, the Group and its companies monitor emerging risks that may affect any of the above risk categories. As part of the identification of these risks, sustainability risks are also identified and assessed, which in the Sava Insurance Group mainly affect market and underwriting risks. They are discussed in the strategic risks section of this report.

Individual risks are described in detail in the notes to the financial statements of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re in section 16.7 "Risk management".

In the following, we describe each risk category and the risks within each category.

10.2.1 Underwriting risks

Underwriting risk arises from insurance transactions, the primary purpose of which is to assume risk from insureds (underwriting) and to perform (re)insurance contracts and transactions that are directly related to (re)insurance transactions. It relates to the risks covered under (re)insurance contracts and related processes and arises from uncertainty as to the occurrence, extent and timing of obligations.

In addition to the risks assumed directly by the Group's direct insurers, Sava Re assumes underwriting risk from cedants outside the Group (accepted reinsurance). Sava Re retains a portion of the assumed risks (Group and non-Group) and retrocedes the portion that exceeds its own capacity.

Underwriting risks are broadly divided into non-life underwriting risks, life underwriting risks and health underwriting risks (which include accident (re)insurance). The Group and Sava Re are exposed to all three categories of risks.

10.2.1.1 Non-life underwriting risks

Non-life underwriting risks are further subdivided into premium risk, risk of insufficient liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts, lapse risk and catastrophe risk.

Premium risk: this is the risk that premiums written are insufficient to meet the obligations arising from (re)insurance contracts. This risk depends on many factors, such as inadequate assessment of market developments, inadequate assessment of claims development, use of inadequate statistics, deliberately insufficient premiums for certain classes of business that are expected to be offset by other classes of business, or inadequate assessment of external macroeconomic factors that may change significantly during the term of a contract; in certain classes of business, there is also inadequate assessment of environmental factors, including climate change. This includes underwriting process risk, price risk and the risk of unexpected increase in claims.

Given the Group's portfolio structure, the largest contributors to premium risk include motor vehicle and property (re)insurance (fire and other damage to property, including related business interruption insurance).

The Group seeks to mitigate underwriting process risk by restricting authorisations for mass underwriting, ensuring additional training for underwriters and agents, providing understandable, clear and detailed instructions, and setting appropriate underwriting limits that are consistent with the business strategy, the risk strategy and the reinsurance programme. We also pay particular attention to offering products to appropriate target clients (to avoid mis-selling and adverse selection), accepting reinsurance from trusted cedants, and ensuring that appropriate limits are in place for exposure concentrations by geographic location and homogeneous risk groups, thereby maintaining favourable risk diversification.

Risk of insufficient liabilities and assets from (re) insurance contracts: this is the risk that the liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts are either (i) insufficient to meet the obligations arising from (re) insurance contracts due to inadequate methods, inappropriate, incomplete and inaccurate data, inefficient procedures and controls, inadequate expert judgement, or (ii) misstated, resulting in unreliable information about the financial position of the company or the Group. This includes the risk of data availability and accuracy, the risk of using inappropriate methods or assumptions, the risk of calculation errors, and the risk that the complexity of the tools used in the process may lead to misleading results. Sustainability risks, including those related to climate change, are also considered when assessing the adequacy of provisions.

As with premium risk, the majority of the risk of insufficient liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts arises from the motor and property business, where liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts are structurally the largest due to the Group's traditional focus on such business.

The Group manages the risk of insufficient liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts through robust processes and effective controls for their calculation

under both IFRS and Solvency II regulations. In addition, each year we back-test the adequacy of the (re) insurance contract liabilities and assets established in previous years, which is used to identify any major causes of inadequate (re)insurance contract liabilities and to apply the lessons learned to the setting of these liabilities in the future.

Lapse risk: this is the risk of loss or adverse change in the value of insurance liabilities resulting from changes in the level or volatility of lapse rates. The Group and Sava Re are not materially exposed to this type of risk. This risk is mitigated primarily by maintaining good relationships with policyholders and cedants and by closely monitoring market conditions.

Catastrophe risk: this is the risk of a catastrophic event occurring; such events are rare, but their financial impact is too great to be covered by otherwise adequate premiums and provisions alone. Catastrophe risk may materialise in the case of extreme events or a large number of catastrophic events over a short period. The risk also includes an excessive geographical accumulation of risk. The Group's portfolio is relatively well diversified geographically, with a slightly higher concentration of risks in Slovenia, which is further addressed through the reinsurance programme. This risk is managed by means of a well-designed underwriting process, by controlling risk concentration for products covering larger property against natural catastrophes and fire, by geographical diversification, and by adequate retrocession protection against natural and man-made catastrophes.

Sustainability risks: These also include climate change risks, which have recently become more and more relevant and are therefore receiving more attention at both the Group and company level. We carry out qualitative assessments, exposure analyses and longerterm scenario analyses, and we monitor the progress of their modelling. The knowledge gained in this area is then applied in setting insurance premiums, determining liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts and arranging sufficient reinsurance protection to keep risks within the risk appetite. Other underwriting risks, such as economic environment risk and policyholder behaviour risk, may be relevant, but their impact is already indirectly reflected in the non-life underwriting risk above.

10.2.1.2 Life underwriting risks

We divide life underwriting risks into biometric risks, life expenses risk and life lapse risk.

Biometric risks: among these, mortality risk, which is the most significant risk for the Group, is the risk that the actual mortality of insured persons will turn out to be higher than that projected in the mortality tables used for premium pricing. It depends on the use of relevant statistics and the identification of insured persons whose health or lifestyle may increase their mortality risk. The procedures used to manage this risk include the consistent application of underwriting protocols, detailing deviations from the normal mortality risk, regular monitoring of exposures and the adequacy of the mortality tables used, and appropriate reinsurance protection.

Life expense risk: this is the risk that the actual cost of servicing life insurance contracts will be higher than that assumed in pricing. The level of risk depends on the use of appropriate statistics and an increase in the actual cost of servicing life insurance contracts. The Group manages the life insurance expense risk by periodically monitoring the expenses incurred in servicing life insurance contracts, monitoring the macroeconomic situation (e.g., inflation) and appropriately planning of these expenses for the coming years.

BUSINESS REPORT

Life lapse risk: this is the risk of a (low or high) increase in lapse rates (rate of early contract termination) due to surrenders, conversions to paid-up status or premium default. The level of risk depends on the use of appropriate statistics, the identification of lapses for various reasons in an underwriting year and the economic situation, which may also affect policyholder behaviour. The level of risk also depends on the competitive insurance products available in the market and the advice provided by insurance intermediaries and financial advisers. The Group manages this risk mainly by monitoring the number and percentage of policy lapses on a quarterly basis, by restricting surrenders where insurer approval is required and by systematically preventing insurance rearrangements by intermediaries.

Sustainability risks: these also include climate change risks, which have become increasingly relevant in recent years and can affect life insurance in a number of ways, including an increase in cancellations and surrenders, an increase in biometric risks (especially mortality and morbidity) and other impacts. We therefore take sustainability and climate change factors into account, among other things, when setting insurance premiums and making assumptions for the calculation of liabilities and assets from (re)insurance contracts.

Life insurance risks also include other biometric risks (longevity risk and disability and morbidity risk), revision risk and life-catastrophe risk. These risks are minor for the Group and are therefore not discussed in detail.

10.2.1.3 Health underwriting risk

Health underwriting risks are divided into risks arising from health insurance pursued on a similar technical basis to non-life insurance (NSLT health insurance) and health insurance pursued on a similar technical basis to life insurance (SLT health insurance).

The Group manages NSLT-health underwriting risks using techniques similar to those used in non-life insurance, namely prudent underwriting, control of risk concentrations in accident and health products and appropriate reinsurance protection. SLT health insurance is very similar to life insurance; therefore, the Group manages the risks arising from SLT health insurance using similar techniques as for life insurance.

10.2.2 Financial risks

In their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks arising from their investment and underwriting portfolios relating to market, liquidity, credit risk and the risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns on the life insurance business.

10.2.2.1 Market risk

As part of the management of market risk, the Group assesses interest rate risk, investment property risk, equity risk and currency risk.

Interest rate risk: this is the risk that the Group or a company will be exposed to losses resulting from fluctuations in interest rates. When interest rates change, the risk may materialise as a result of a decrease in the value of investments or an increase in liabilities. We try to avoid this by carrying out sensitivity analyses and by matching assets and liabilities, i.e., cash-flow matching.

Investment property risk: this is the risk of a change in the fair value of investment property owned directly or indirectly by the Group or a company. In addition to investment property, real-estate funds are also exposed to this risk.

Equity price risk: this is the risk that the value of investments will decrease due to fluctuations in equity markets. Shares as well as equity and mixed mutual funds are exposed to this risk. The Group manages the equity risk by diversifying this part of the investment

portfolio across different capital markets and through a limit system that limits overexposure to the equity portfolio.

Currency risk: this is the risk that changes in exchange rates will reduce the value of assets denominated in foreign currencies or increase the value of liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. The Group and its companies manage currency risk through each company's efforts to optimise the currency matching of assets and liability.

10.2.2.2 Liquidity risk

This is the risk that, owing to unexpected or unexpectedly high obligations, a company will not be able to meet all its financial obligations. The liquidity risk assumed by each Group company is monitored by regularly measuring and monitoring defined liquidity indicators. One of the indicators is the maturity matching of financial assets and liabilities. Liquidity requirements are met by allocating funds to money market instruments in a percentage consistent with the estimated normal current liquidity requirement. In order to cover the estimated liquidity buffer, a company ensures that at least 20% of its portfolio investments are invested in highly liquid assets.

BUSINESS REPORT

10.2.2.3 Credit risk

This is the risk that an issuer of securities or other counterparty will default on its obligations. In the context of credit risk, each company and the Group address the excessive concentration of risk in a particular region, industry or issuer. Assets exposed to credit risk include financial investments (deposits, bonds, loans granted, bond and convertible mutual funds, and cash and cash equivalents) and other receivables.

10.2.2.4 Risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns

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.

10.2.3 Operational risks

This is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, human behaviour, systems or external events. To manage operational risks effectively, the Group companies have processes in place to identify, measure, monitor, manage and report on such risks.

10.2.4 Strategic risks

The Group companies and the Group are exposed to various internal and external strategic risks that may have a negative impact on earnings or capital adequacy. Strategic risks also include reputational, project and sustainability risks as well as emerging risks. To prevent these risks from materialising, the Group companies mainly carry out preventive activities and have processes in place to identify, measure, monitor, manage and report on strategic risks to ensure that they are managed effectively.

Strategic risks are also managed by continually monitoring the realisation of short- and long-term goals of Group companies and by monitoring upcoming regulatory changes and market developments.

11 Internal auditing in the Sava Insurance Group

The objective of internal auditing is to provide assurance and advice to the management board in order to add value and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of operations. Internal audit assists the Company in achieving its goals by systematically and methodically assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of the governance, risk management and internal control systems and making recommendations for their improvement.

The Company's internal audit function 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 units of the Company. This ensures the autonomy and independence of its work.

In accordance with the Slovenian Insurance Act and under an outsourcing agreement, Sava Re d.d. performs the key function of internal audit for the companies Zavarovalnica Sava d.d., Vita, Življenjska Zavarovalnica, d.d., Sava Pokojninska Družba d.d. and Sava Infond, Družba za Upravljanje, d.o.o. for an indefinite period.

In 2023, Sava Re's internal audit conducted audits and performed other tasks in accordance with its annual work plan.

Based on all the tests performed and the methodologies applied in the various audit areas, the internal audit department is of the opinion that Sava Re's internal controls are adequate and their reliability is good. It is also of the opinion that Sava Re's governance has proven to be appropriate and is being continuously improved to achieve key business goals, and that risks are well managed in terms of efficiency and economy of operations. However, there is still room for improvement in the way the system operates. The audit engagements revealed individual irregularities and weaknesses, to which the IAD drew attention and recommended corrective actions to improve control procedures, corporate governance and risk management. The IAD's recommendations were actively implemented by those responsible. The aim is to improve the effectiveness of internal controls and the regularity of operations.

The standard audits also focused on the potential for fraud and the exposure or potential vulnerability of IT support to the business. They also looked at the use of ethical and sustainable behaviour. In areas subject to internal audit, internal control systems are in place and functioning to prevent fraud. The audits also made recommendations to improve the IT system.

The IAD reports quarterly to the management board, the audit committee and the supervisory board on completed audit engagements, the effectiveness and efficiency of control systems, corporate governance, risk management, identified breaches and irregularities and the status of recommendations. It has also prepared an annual report on its activities in 2023, which is part of the materials for the general meeting of shareholders.

An external quality assessment of the internal audit at Sava Re (conducted on a five-year basis) was conducted by Deloitte Revizija d.o.o. in 2019. The assessment

of the IAD's operation confirmed that the internal audit complies with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing, the Code of Ethics of Internal Auditors and the Code of Internal Auditing Principles. In 2024, external quality assessments of internal audit functions are planned for all Sava Insurance Group companies.

As a result of the progress made, the IAD issued its second and improved overall opinion for the Company and the Group in 2023. Activities related to the implementation of the new software to support the overall internal audit process at the Sava Insurance Group level were further refined, and the software support was replaced. Improvements were also made to the Group Internal Audit in virtually all of the Group companies. The IAD regularly monitors the development and quality of the internal audit departments in the Group's subsidiaries and provides them with the necessary professional support.

12 Information technology

In 2023, we adopted a new strategy and plans to implement the new strategy covering the period 2023–2027. We continued our practice of conducting IT process maturity audits, combined with independent external peer reviews of operational performance, architecture and the implementation of system and solution configurations. We use feedback and insights to make improvements. These are then put into operation. Accordingly, we streamlined IT change management, IT architecture, internal controls and risk processes, and we improved the planning and monitoring of IT costs and investments.

In developing business applications, we maintained existing solutions in line with companies' business and regulatory requirements. We continued the project to replace the core IT solution for insurance and entered the final phase of the project to replace the core IT solution for reinsurance. At the Group level, we increased the number of shared solutions and the use of a common central data centre.

In business intelligence, we provided ongoing business support, upgraded existing solutions and completed the IFRS 17 regulatory reporting project. In line with the strategic priorities for the 2023–2027 strategy period, we upgraded the consolidated data warehouse solution by expanding the scope of data sources and reports.

The infrastructure team supported operations by upgrading technical and service capabilities to implement the strategy (implementation of new core business solutions and digitalisation). We continued our mission of continuous improvement and optimisation by configuring server and network systems and improving the monitoring of critical services. The system software and hardware infrastructure was upgraded in line with the business plan, the amortisation cycle, day-to-day service requirements and planned IT development projects, with more time spent on the architectural design of the various concepts.

In the area of information security, we upgraded sensors and controls in the 24/7 security operations cen-

tre and continued to test and deploy new security solu
tions. We run regular exercises to protect against social
engineering attacks and train key personnel how to
respond to a crisis in the event of a cyber-attack.
In terms of business continuity, we carried out all
planned preventive and control activities, taking into
account the increased use of hybrid work.
We take sustainability into account when planning new
investments, by reducing the size of applications and
centralising the use of shared infrastructure (in-house
and cloud). Our business solutions enable hybrid access
(remote or from home) for both customers and em
ployees, reducing the need for transport.

a zero-carbon society

Towards REPORT

We know that the era of "zero emissions" is still a long way off, but we are taking small but confident steps in the right direction. We invest in energy efficiency in all our operations, in line with the EU's carbon reduction initiative.

13.1 Sustainable Development Strategy of the Sava Insurance Group for 2023–2027

We have been integrating sustainable development into the Sava Insurance Group strategy since 2017; since then we have given increasing attention to it as environmental, social and governance risks (ESG risks) significantly impact the insurance industry while offering new opportunities in the development of operations.

In December 2022, we adopted the Sustainable Development Strategy of the Sava Insurance Group for 2023–2027, which outlines sustainable development as one of the three key pillars of the Group's further development.

The Sava Insurance Group's objectives and sustainable development strategy are rooted in its values, mission and vision. Our goal for the strategy period was for stakeholders to recognise the Group as:

  • a socially responsible insurance and reinsurance company, and a socially responsible and trustworthy partner,
  • a socially responsible asset and equity manager,
  • a socially responsible and attractive employer,
  • an organisation that is socially responsible to the wider community.

The following principles guide us in the implementation of the Group's key sustainable development policies:

Focus on the United Nations global sustainable development goal – good health and well-being: we promote healthy lifestyles and general well-being at all stages of life, both by providing appropriate insurance, financial products, healthcare and other services, and by caring for the health of our employees and society at large.

  • Focus on the United Nations global sustainable development goal – climate change: we are taking action to combat climate change and its impacts.
  • International commitment to the United Nations Global Compact: it is based on ten principles of responsible business management, particularly in terms of human rights, labour standards, climate and anti-corruption.
  • International commitment to the United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment (UN PRI): it guides investors to make responsible investment decisions.

13.1.1 Implementation of the sustainable development strategy in 2023

At the Sava Insurance Group, we have set the following sustainable strategic objectives for 2023–2027, taking into account ESG criteria72 and gradually and systematically integrating them into the Group's decision-making processes:

  • reducing the carbon intensity of its own operations and investment portfolio;
  • guaranteeing responsible (re)insurance underwriting in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the Sava Insurance Group and the taxonomy standards;
  • ensuring sustainability in the value chain and processes by increasing the share of ESG investments in the portfolio, and by further digitalisation and paperless business processes;
  • improving customer satisfaction;
  • having satisfied and committed employees and strengthening the culture of sustainability.

Throughout 2023, intensive preparations were also made at the Group level for the new regulation on CSRD sustainability reporting and ESRB standards.

The Group was preparing for the introduction and implementation of legal requirements according to these legal acts:

  • Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of 27 November 2019 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector or SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation) – in June 2023, information on the consideration of the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors was published on Sava Re's website at the Group level, while at the level of the individual company concerned this information was published on the websites of subsidiaries that meet the criteria of a financial market participant as set out in Article 2 of SFDR. The financial and financial-insurance products offered by the Group to its customers also include appropriate pre-contractual disclosures;
  • Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, or the Taxonomy – the Group already reported in accordance with the Taxonomy for 2021 and 2022, based on available data and an estimate of revenue from Taxonomy-eligible activities. In 2023, we carried out activities to ensure the quality and relevance of the data required for disclosures of revenue from Taxonomy-aligned activities, and these disclosures will be published for the first time in 2024 for the year 2023;
  • Directive (EU) 2022/2464 of 14 December 2022 amending Regulation (EU) No 537/2014, Directive 2004/109/EC, Directive 2006/43/EC and Directive 2013/34/EU, as regards corporate sustainability reporting or CSRD (Corporate Sustainability

Reporting Directive) – the Group has accelerated preparations for the disclosure requirements under the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), in particular by organising and participating in external training sessions to ensure that we are adequately prepared for the 2025 reporting on 2024. In 2022 and 2023, training was provided to the top management of the subsidiaries, as well as to business line managers and all potential authors of reports.

In addition to closely following and complying with legal requirements on sustainable development, we also draw your attention to the following developments:

  1. In January 2023, we revised the Sustainability Investment Policy of the Sava Insurance Group, which governs the Group's approach to environmental, social and governance considerations in investment decisions and the management of sustainability risks. This policy, which was adopted on 30 June 2020, sets out the Group's commitment to responsible and sustainable investment practices and ensures that the Group complies with applicable laws and regulations governing investments.

  2. In 2023, the carbon footprint measurements of the Sava Insurance Group for 2022 were verified for the first time, focusing on data from its own activities (scope 1 and scope 2 emissions). The

carbon footprint of the Sava Insurance Group's operations in 2022 is the baseline or benchmark against which the Group's carbon footprint and the effectiveness of emission reduction measures in the coming years will be compared. At the same time, we plan to expand the scope of the data in the coming years. 3. We continued to expand our sustainable products into the non-EU markets – micromobility insur-

  • ance and solar panel insurance.
    1. In 2023, a questionnaire was developed and validated in line with the requirements of European standards to verify the suppliers' sustainability. Data will be collected at the Group level from existing and new suppliers.
    1. In November 2023, we held a sustainability conference for representatives of our subsidiaries and business line managers, focusing on European sustainability legislation, the challenges and opportunities it presents, and the Group's strategic goals.
    1. As part of the Heart for the World initiative, all subsidiaries have organised a number of corporate volunteering campaigns. At the Group level, Heart for the World is becoming an important initiative aimed at encouraging employees to act responsibly towards nature and society.

The activities carried out are described in the following sections.

Relations with stakeholders73

In terms of sustainable development, cooperation with stakeholders is also of key and strategic importance for the Sava Insurance Group. It is important that we identify the most important stakeholder groups and understand their views on dealings with us.

At the end of 2022, we surveyed the Sava Insurance Group's stakeholders on key sustainability areas to identify those in which the Group has a significant economic, environmental and social impact and which significantly impact our business and stakeholder relationships.

In addition to the parent company, ten Group companies and one subsidiary carried out stakeholder surveys.

We surveyed stakeholder groups that we identify as key:

  • suppliers,
  • customers,
  • employees,
  • external sales network,
  • reinsurers (Sava Re),
  • shareholders (Sava Re).

We analysed the responses of more than 1,000 Group employees and 900 stakeholders from other groups. Their views are presented in a matrix of key topics for the Group.

The following section of the report outlines the most important stakeholder groups and forms of engagement with them.

1 Human rights

13.2 Economic aspect74

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 companies.

** Operating expenses = attributable expenses, non-attributable expenses and expenses of non-insurance companies, excluding personnel costs, sponsorship, prevention and donations. Sava Osiguruvanje (MKD) supports a centre for

the homeless with a donation to the Red Cross.

Sava Re donates part of its donation funds to the 3rd Floor Heroes Society.

13.2.1 Sponsorship, donations and preventive actions75

As a sustainability-oriented partner, Sava Insurance Group also strengthens its social responsibility to the wider community through sponsorship and donation projects. Prevention activities encourage stakeholders to identify different risks, thus contributing to the safety of health, life and property.

For more, refer to section 13.4 "Responsibility to the community".

13.2.2 Sustainability guidelines for investment76

13.2.2.1 Responsible financial investment management77

When managing its investment portfolio, the Sava Insurance Group is committed to sustainability by:

  • ensuring that the Group's investment portfolios are in line with the Sustainability Investment Policy of the Sava Insurance Group;
  • reducing the carbon footprint of investments;
  • increasing the share of ESG-compliant investments in the entire portfolio;
  • increasing the alignment of investments with the EU Taxonomy.

13.2.2.1.1 Compliance of investments with the Sustainability Investment Policy of the Sava Insurance Group

The integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into the investment process is described in the Sustainability Investment Policy of the Sava Insurance Group. This policy defines:

  • guidelines on how not to finance economic activities at issue (e.g. production of alcohol, tobacco and coal for heating, adult industry, etc.). Compliance is reviewed at the time of investment and at least twice a year thereafter;
  • adherence to international principles for responsible investment;
  • consideration of the UN Global Compact principles in the investment process.

The UN PRI promotes the integration of ESG considerations into investment decision-making processes, and its signatories are committed to adhering to the UN PRI's six core principles and reporting on their progress. The Group will report publicly on its compliance with the UN PRIs for the first time in 2024.

The UN Global Compact addresses human and labour
rights, the natural environment and anti-corruption.
At the Group level, we are committed to incorporat
ing such principles and guidelines into our investment
process, and in the future, as more detailed information
becomes available, we will define the criteria for ex
cluding such investments from our portfolio.
The investment portfolio includes all financial invest
ments, investment property, and cash and cash equiv
alents, but excludes investments in subsidiaries and
associates, and mutual funds covering unit-linked life
insurance liabilities where the investment risk is borne
by the policyholders.
The investment portfolio for which compliance with
the sustainability investment policy is verified (the
investment portfolio captured) includes all financial
investments with the exception of deposits, loans and
government securities. Also excluded are investment
property, investments in subsidiaries and associates,
cash and cash equivalents, and mutual funds covering
unit-linked life insurance liabilities where the invest

ment risk is borne by the policyholders.

The tables show that as at 31 December 2023, the Group had 19 investments in its investment portfolio with a carrying amount of EUR 26.1 million that are not aligned with the Sustainability Investment Policy of the Sava Insurance Group, representing 1.7% of the Group's investment portfolio and respecting the defined tolerance of 3% of the investment portfolio.

We also focus on the risks associated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The first step in this effort is to stop investing in economic activities such as the production of coal for heating and shale oil.

In 2023, key performance indicators to measure GHG emissions in the investment portfolio were established

and measured for the first time. We have analysed the investment portfolio in such a way as to identify the companies that contribute most to GHG emissions. The measurements made are limited by the coverage of GHG emissions data in investee companies and range from 20% to 24%, depending on the indicator. In the future, the Group will work to establish further measures to reduce or mitigate the GHG emissions in the investment portfolio and to meet the targets set out in the sustainable development strategy.

13.2.2.1.2 Share of ESG investments

ESG investments include bonds issued to finance green and environmental projects (green bonds) and sustainability bonds issued to fund the green and social sustainability objectives of issuers. ESG investing also covers mutual funds that adhere to ESG principles and alternative funds that clearly adhere to ESG principles, including by signing the UN PRIs.

We prioritise investments that are in line with ESG principles.

The Group's ESG investments have increased by EUR 43 million from EUR 211.8 million at the end of 2022 to EUR 254.8 million at year-end 2023, or from 14.9% of the portfolio at the end of 2022 to 16.9% of the portfolio at year-end 2023.

Compliance with sustainability criteria is also emphasised in infrastructure investments, real estate funds and other alternative investments, since non-compliance with the ESG guidelines generally constitutes an exclusion criterion for participation in these types of investments. The managers of such investments in the Group's portfolios comply with at least one industry sustainability standard (e.g. UN PRI – United Nations Principles of Responsible Investment, GRESB – Global ESG Benchmark for Real Estate or TCFD – Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) and report in accordance with that standard.

13.2.2.2 Regulation on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector

Regulation(EU) 2019/218878 (SFDR) requires financial market participants to publicly disclose their sustainable management policies. It also requires disclosure of how sustainability risks are integrated into investment decisions and how the company addresses the principal adverse impacts of its investment decisions on sustainability factors.

In line with the SFDR requirements for these disclosures, Group subsidiaries and associates that met the criteria of a financial market participant in 2023 updated their pre-contractual disclosures in financial products accordingly and defined their approach to the principal adverse impacts of their investment decisions. In accordance with Article 4(3) of SFDR, which applies to companies with an average annual number of employees of more than 500, Zavarovalnica Sava published information on its due diligence policies regarding the principal adverse impacts of investment decisions on sustainability factors (the Principal Adverse Impact Statement – PAI) on its website.

79 Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2020 on the establishment of a framework to facilitate sustainable investment, and amending Regulation (EU) 2019/2088.

13.2.2.3 EU Taxonomy

In 2020, Regulation (EU) 2020/85279 was adopted as the regulatory framework for promoting sustainable investments, better known as the EU Taxonomy. The regulation aims to promote transparency of sustainability disclosures for financial market participants and the rest of the business community.

The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that helps companies and investors identify "environmentally sustainable" economic activities and make sustainable investment decisions. Environmentally sustainable activities are those that make a significant contribution to at least one of the EU's six environmental objectives, without significantly harming the other five, are carried out in compliance with minimum safeguards and meet technical screening criteria. An economic activity that meets the above requirements is considered to be Taxonomy-aligned.

The EU's environmental objectives are:

  • climate change mitigation,
  • climate change adaptation,
  • the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources,
  • the transition to a circular economy,
  • pollution prevention and control,
  • the protection of healthy ecosystems.

13.2.2.3.1 From EU Taxonomy eligibility of the investment portfolio to its EU Taxonomy alignment

The Group has already disclosed in its 2021 and 2022 annual reports the proportion of exposure to EU Taxonomy-eligible economic activities, as required by Delegated Regulation 2021/217880 on disclosures.

Economic activity is considered to be eligible if it is identified by the Climate Delegated Regulation81 and, in the future, by the Environmental Delegated Regulation82 as having a high potential to contribute to at least one environmental objective, regardless of whether it meets the technical criteria set out in these regulations.

However, from 2024, financial undertakings are required to disclose the proportion of exposure to EU Taxonomy-aligned economic activities, and a range of other sustainable investment information, in line with Article 8 of the EU Taxonomy, and the Group is following this requirement.

80 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 of 6 July 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council by specifying the content and presentation of information to be disclosed by undertakings subject to Articles 19a or 29a of Directive 2013/34/EU concerning environmentally sustainable economic

81 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139 of 4 June 2021 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing the technical screening criteria for determining the conditions under which an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to climate change mitigation or climate change

82 Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2486 of 27 June 2023 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2020/852 of the European Parliament and of the Council by establishing the technical screening criteria for determining the conditions under which an economic activity qualifies as contributing substantially to the sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources, to the transition to a circular economy, to pollution prevention and control, or to the protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems and for determining whether that economic activity causes no significant harm to any of the other environmental objectives and amending Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2178 as

An economic activity that meets the above requirements is considered to be Taxonomy-aligned.

The content and presentation of the information that companies are required to disclose on environmentally sustainable economic activities and the methodology for fulfilling these disclosure obligations are set out in the Disclosures Delegated Regulation. In this respect, the Group discloses below one of its key performance indicators, the proportion of EU Taxonomy-aligned investments, which is the weighted average of the value of all investments aligned with this Taxonomy over the so-called captured assets.

The investment portfolio consists of the following items in the statement of financial position: financial investments, investment property and cash. However, exposures to central government units, central banks and supranational issuers are excluded from the covered assets in accordance with Article 7 of Delegated Regulation 2021/2178. They relate to portfolios covering non-life insurance liabilities, traditional life insurance liabilities, life insurance liabilities where the investment

risk is borne by the policyholders, and the company's own funds. In 2023, the assets covered amounted to 98.24% of the total amount of assets under management.

For investments in mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and alternative funds (infrastructure funds, real-estate funds and private debt funds), the Group implemented a look-through approach to ensure that the EU Taxonomy alignment is calculated for each investment in these funds. The look-through approach was applied to level 1 investments in the fund. The Group did not apply the look-through approach to 5.9% of all funds as information on the breakdown of the funds into individual investments was not available.

The alignment of investments with the EU Taxonomy in 2023, based on revenue, was 1.57% of the assets covered or EUR 21.0 million. Meanwhile, the alignment of investments with the EU Taxonomy, based on capital expenditure, was 2.87% of the assets covered or EUR 38.2 million.

Information on the alignment of investments with the EU Taxonomy is provided by an external data provider, Moody's Analytics, which relies exclusively on data obtained directly from companies and does not use estimated data.

Detailed information at the investment portfolio level is presented below in relation to the requirements of the EU Taxonomy as defined in template 2 of annex X to the Disclosures Delegated Regulation. The remaining disclosures required by the Disclosures Delegated Regulation are set out in appendix C to the annual report. It was not possible to obtain the information required by annex XII to the Disclosures Delegated Regulation. Sava Re will disclose the data from annex XII in subsequent reporting periods when they become available.

13.2.2.3.2 Restrictions

The low percentage of alignment is due to the discrepancy between the investments included in the numerator and denominator of the KPI. The numerator, unlike the denominator, does not include exposures to companies not subject to the requirements of Articles 19a and 29a of the Accounting Directive (2013/34/EU) and exposures to derivatives, but consequently includes a smaller number of investments than the denominator.

The calculation is also limited by the low coverage of the investment portfolio with data on the alignment of companies with the EU Taxonomy. The limited database of companies for which the external provider provides data is one of the reasons for this. In addition to large companies that are already subject to Taxonomy-alignment reporting, the investment portfolio also includes small and medium-sized companies that are not yet subject to such reporting. In view of the above, it is reasonable to expect that data coverage will improve as regulatory requirements are extended to more companies and information on the alignment of investments with the EU Taxonomy becomes more relevant.

13.2.3 Risks and opportunities arising from climate change83

Climate change poses a serious risk to society and the economy and has a significant impact on the activities of insurance and reinsurance companies, affecting the ability of policyholders to take out insurance, and the underwriting, operating and investing activities of insurers.

The Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re are directly and indirectly exposed to climate change risks as a result of their operations, so it is crucial to monitor and manage these risks. The Group and the Company monitor climate change risks, including physical and transition risks. Physical risks are those that arise from the physical effects of climate change. Transition risks are those that arise from the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy.

Physical risks are extremely important, as the harmful effects of global warming on natural and human systems are already visible today. Without further international climate action, the average global temperature will continue to rise, and so will the unpredictability of damage associated with the risk of natural disasters. This may result in higher underwriting risk and, consequently, the need to change business strategies. Also significant is transition risk, which relates to potential

material negative impact on the value of investments

and other significant effects on business operations. Both transition risk and physical risks are and will continue to be of great importance to the Group and its companies, so they are subject to constant Group-level monitoring. Climate risks are also addressed (qualitatively and quantitatively) in the own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA).

In terms of physical risks from natural catastrophes, 2023 was a more turbulent year for the Sava Insurance Group than the previous year, as Slovenia and several other countries where the Group operates were hit by a series of storms and floods that caused significant damage to property. The gross claims resulting from these events amounted to EUR 88.3 million in 2023 and, taking into account our reinsurance protection, the impact of these events on the Group's result was EUR 27.4 million. Zavarovalnica Sava, which was affected by five loss events exceeding EUR 1 million during the year, and Sava Neživotno Osiguranje, Belgrade, which was affected by two such loss events, had the most significant impact on the business result in relation to the aforementioned events.

In the non-Group reinsurance portfolio, Sava Re suffered five loss events for which its share of the loss exceeded EUR 1 million. More severe natural catastrophes have further tightened reinsurance conditions,

which can make it more difficult to underwrite reinsurance.

Investments in sustainable development and preventive activities (renewables and awareness-raising among policyholders) will continue to be factors that will have a significant impact on the scope and scale of losses due to natural disasters.

13.2.3.1 Product development and underwriting84 Ecological (increasing pressure on the environment due to population growth, pollution from waste and other ecological issues), climate (greenhouse gas emissions and extreme weather events) and social changes (introduction of new technologies, changes in legislation, demographic trends and population migration) are shaping a new landscape for the development of new products and underwriting. This leads to:

  • new opportunities in the development of innovative products and services,
  • preparations for the transformation of underwriting rules for new and unfamiliar risks (e.g. climate change and related less common or unusual weather-related natural disasters), further supported by the significant adverse weather events in Slovenia in 2023.

Sustainability factors in products

In 2023, we continued to expand some of the Sava Insurance Group's products with a strong sustainability component. In addition to the solar panel insurance already marketed by the Slovenian part of the Sava Insurance Group, subsidiaries in Serbia, Montenegro and North Macedonia also started to develop such products in 2023.

Insurance companies operating in markets subject to European regulation carry out ongoing assessments of compliance with sustainability factors for each new or renewed insurance product. Their findings are set out in separate documents dealing with the oversight and governance arrangements for these products. In line with the criteria already developed to identify

sustainability factors, when developing new insurance products or modifying existing ones, insurers operating in markets subject to European regulation assess whether each new or modified insurance product meets any of the sustainability factors. They also assess their direct or indirect impact on the environment, society, employee issues and respect for human rights. For each new or modified insurance product, the product approval process must identify the target market and the group of compatible customers. The target market must be identified by taking into account the characteristics, risk profile, complexity and nature of the insurance product, and its sustainability factors.

Development of financial products

The Taxonomy and SFDR have standardised the criteria for the entire European market. Sustainability factors in financial products are clear and prevent greenwashing. The Sava Insurance Group keeps track of regulations and implements them in a timely manner (relevant disclosures, adoption of relevant policies, etc.).

Responsible insurance and reinsurance underwriting

As the Group's insurers and reinsurer, we recognise the importance of environmental risks, and we are committed to adopting and introducing internal regulations that will contribute to responsible underwriting of environmental, social and governance risks in non-life insurance.

In accordance with the Sava Insurance Group Guidelines for Responsible Underwriting Environmental, Social and Governance Risks in Non-Life Insurance Business, adopted in 2022, our main focus in 2023 was to find ways to improve the monitoring and reporting system in relation to these guidelines. In this respect, we have taken some steps to increase automation in this area while making the purpose of the guidelines more transparent to help stakeholders better understand environmental, social and governance risks.

Group companies have prepared reports in accordance with these guidelines, which also include information on cases requiring special attention in the underwriting process. These are cases defined in the guidelines as "potentially high or imminent risk". We found a total of 899 such cases in the Group, while the share of the premium related to these cases represents around 0.33% of the total non-life premium. In this respect, companies in an underwriting environment also monitor the profile of such policyholders to the extent possible, meaning that if they perceive that the policyholders' system for managing risks is ineffective, they will refuse to underwrite those risks.

In addition to the insurance business, the guidelines have also been taken into account in the reinsurance business, together with any necessary conforming changes.

In reinsurance, based on the above guidelines, we monitored transactions exposed to ESG criteria at the time of reinsurance underwriting, in particular for the non-Group facultative reinsurance. In the non-Group treaty reinsurance, we have been looking for new reinsurance opportunities that would have a positive impact on sustainability.

Providing adequate data

Given the increasing complexity of the decision-making process with regard to ESG criteria, we have continued to establish an appropriate data collection system within the Group in order to introduce the guidelines for responsible insurance portfolio management and to ensure the provision of relevant data in accordance with existing and emerging regulations. We have also taken steps to standardise the way we report and monitor the impact of the introduction of ESG criteria. The Group also follows the Taxonomy reporting commitment, where disclosures are linked to the proportion of Taxonomy eligibility. The Sava Insurance Group Conference

It was not possible to obtain the information required by annex XII to the Disclosures Delegated Regulation. Sava Re will disclose the data from annex XII in subsequent reporting periods when they become available.

13.2.4 Relations with suppliers and the procurement policy85

Group companies coordinated the procurement policy and made it more uniform, which involves strategic priorities and principles governing a transparent procurement process. The sustainability objectives of the procurement process are:

  • the establishment and maintenance of partnerships with suppliers (which are our existing or potential policyholders); therefore, we prefer to locate suppliers from the local environment;
  • the definition of additional criteria for the selection of suppliers that take into account environmental and social aspects, and the definition of criteria to be met by local suppliers.

Internal regulations prescribe the inclusion of an anti-corruption clause in all purchase agreements86. When ordering, taking over and paying for goods, we follow the four-eyes principle, which ensures a high degree of individual control over the business procurement process. At Sava Re, we assess the risk inherent in procurement on a quarterly basis87. In 2023, a new questionnaire was developed and validated in line with the requirements of European standards to verify the

  • 89 GRI 204-01.
  • 90 GRI 201-04.

suppliers' sustainability88. The questionnaire will be sent to existing and new suppliers of Group companies with an expected annual turnover of at least EUR 5,000 including VAT via a proprietary application for completion in 2024. The general terms and conditions of business cooperation, which were renewed in 2023 and generally constitute an integral part of every purchase, also emphasise the concern for the company's sustainable development. Mechanisms for monitoring suppliers' sustainability are also included in the updated internal regulations governing the business procurement process in all Group companies. Suppliers' sustainability was also one of the main topics at the procurement conference, attended by procurement officers of all Group companies.

Group companies' suppliers are mainly providers of consulting services, IT maintenance and upgrade services, office supplies, small tools, computer hardware and software, and company cars.

All Group companies are required to partner with local suppliers by the very nature of the business and the need to establish long-term partnerships in their own communities. The local market of any Group member is the entire country in which its head office is situated89.

To a lesser extent, some of the purchases are also made outside their home country (in particular for goods and services that cannot be sourced in their home country or are offered at non-competitive prices). In the 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 local suppliers.

One of the objectives of the Group's procurement policy is the collaboration of companies in joint procurement. This most often involves companies registered in the same country. IT solutions are generally purchased and developed at the Group level. Joint procurement optimises the procurement process, reduces costs and mitigates risks in the products or services purchased. At the same time, we facilitate the sharing of expertise, experience and best practices between Group companies.

The Sava Insurance Group ensures a competitive and transparent supplier selection process by sending requests for quotations to a number of potential suppliers and by increasing the responsibility and authority for decision-making regarding the selection of suppliers

based on 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.

The Company's or Group's procurement policy is also governed by several other internal regulations which set out procedures and instructions. These include the fleet management policy, the rules on procurement, use and maintenance of company vehicles, the rules on the use of information technology assets, and similar.

Sava Re and all Group companies settle their obligations to suppliers within agreed deadlines.

13.2.5 Financial assistance received from the government90

Zavarovalnica Sava was reimbursed by the government for the salaries paid to its employees for their short-

term absences of up to three days. Illyria Life (RKS) received financial assistance from the Treasury of the Republic of Kosovo and a government grant to support operations totalling EUR 3,946.47.

13.2.6 Definition of other government incentives

In 2023, Sava Re was again granted a partial 30% exemption from the payment of employer's contributions for employees who reached the age of 60 and the exemption from the payment of the employer's share of social security contributions on employment contracts concluded for an indefinite period. These refunds totalled EUR 5,944 (2022: EUR 9,326).

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 those employees who have joined the pension scheme and are thus entitled to a reduced income tax base for 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 was EUR 214,326 (2022: EUR 201,720).

Subsidiaries exercise incentives or reliefs in accordance with local legislation (employment of the disabled, inclusion of employees in the pension schemes, etc.).

13.2.7 Tax91

The Tax Policy of the Sava Insurance Group was developed and adopted in 2023.

The Group is committed to sustainability-oriented operations in accordance with legislation and its own commitments. The tax policy was adopted to define the implementation of a policy of tax compliance with legal tax frameworks, tax ethics, tax principles and best tax practices in the tax jurisdictions in which the Group operates.

The Group's tax policy provides a framework for tax governance that ensures that the Group's conduct in tax matters is guided by clear principles, values and rules that enable each employee and each Group company to make appropriate decisions in compliance with tax laws. Therefore, the fundamental purpose of the policy is to set expectations and responsibilities within the Group to ensure that its tax practices are socially responsible.

The primary objective of the Group's tax policy is to ensure compliance with the applicable tax regulations in all jurisdictions in which the Group operates, in accordance with the activities carried out in each jurisdiction. This principal objective of respecting and complying with tax rules must be aligned with the principles of corporate governance and the operation of Group companies. The Group's tax policy promotes responsible tax behaviour, which means taking into account the Group's business interests and the development of the community in which it is involved, thus ensuring the application of best tax practices.

The tax policy sets out the Group's tax ethics, tax principles and general rules for tax governance. The basic principle of the Group's code of ethics is to act honestly, ethically and in accordance with the law, the company's internal regulations and corporate governance guidelines. In line with this basic principle, which is reflected in all of the Group's established tax principles:

  • we file tax returns and tax accounts diligently and on time, comply with reporting requirements and pay all taxes due on time in accordance with applicable tax regulations;
  • we seek to maximise the use of tax exemptions, tax reliefs and tax deductions, avoid double taxation and claim other tax benefits, all within the framework of legally permissible and consistent tax optimisation and planning;
  • we aim to prevent and manage tax risks related to the Group's strategic focus areas. We structure our business models to maximise the Group's business objectives;
  • we are committed to an arm's length pricing policy for all related party transactions;
  • we aim to strengthen our relationship with the tax authorities based on respect for the law, reliability, professionalism, cooperation, reciprocity and good faith, without provoking unnecessary tax disputes that may arise with the tax authorities when defending a corporate interest in the interpretation of the applicable legal provisions;
  • we reject all forms of tax evasion and unfair tax practices;
  • we aim to be recognised by our stakeholders as a responsible and community-minded organisation, particularly in line with our sustainable development strategy. This extends to our tax philosophy. Taxes provide for public health services and education. They provide for security as well as the construction and maintenance of public infrastructure. Taxes are a tool for progress and development, forging relationships between the wider community and businesses.

13.3 Social aspect

13.3.1 Responsibility to employees92

At the Sava Insurance Group, we are aware of our responsibility to our employees and have made it a fundamental goal of our sustainable development strategy to act in such a way .

In section 9 "Human resource management", we report in detail on matters related to employees or HR affairs.

13.3.2 Responsibility to consumers93

To manage the process of providing services, all companies have in place rules, protocols or instructions that have a pivotal role in ensuring quality and, in turn, customer satisfaction: for underwriting, claims settlement, instigation of recourse proceedings and complaints resolution. In accordance with applicable regulations, there is also a description of the procedures for providing information on insurance products or services.

At the Sava Insurance Group, we strive to meet our customers' expectations with our products and services, and this is reflected in the awards and commendations. Here are some of the most notable:

Sava Infond

Four Sava Infond funds received a total of six awards as the best fund in their category at the Moje Finance magazine awards for the best mutual funds marketed in Slovenia. In addition, Damjan Kovačič received the title "Best-performing Fund Manager in Slovenia" for his excellent management of the Infond Družbeno Odgovorni (Socially Responsible) Fund, an equity subfund.

Sava Penzisko Društvo (MKD)

In 2023, the company was awarded the European title of "Small Pension Fund" by Investment & Pensions Europe and the title of "Best Pension Company in North Macedonia 2023" by World Finance.

Zavarovalnica Sava

The SavaFit incentive programme, through which the insurance company strengthens its concern for the health of its policyholders by motivating them to be physically active through discounts on insurance premiums and benefits offered by selected partners, was awarded the silver plaque "Best Innovation of the Podravje Region 2023".

13.3.3 Customer in the centre and digitalisation of operations94

In 2023, we focused on optimising e-commerce customer service and introducing new central services for customer data management. We expanded our existing services to include a centralised consent management service and continued the development of a centralised authorisation management service.

We supported ongoing customer communication campaigns with a communication campaign management solution and an automated e-communication solution, giving us both a better overview of overall customer communication and greater control over communication at key moments in the policy and investment lifecycles.

94 GRI 3-3.

13.3.4 Customer communication and information95

13.3.4.1 Customer communication and information in pre-contractual disclosures in the distribution of financial products

Important milestones in communicating information to customers were Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosures in the financial services sector (SFDR) and Regulation (EU) 2020/852 on technical standards (Taxonomy), which regulates the assessment of sustainable investments. The SFDR requires financial market participants and financial advisors offering financial products to publish written policies on the integration of sustainability risks and to ensure the transparency of such integration.

In accordance with the SFDR, the financial service providers of the Sava Insurance Group (Zavarovalnica Sava and Vita, Sava Pokojninska and Sava Infond) provide detailed information on investment decisions and their impact on sustainability in the context of customer communication and information on their websites and in the pre-contractual disclosures of their financial products.

13.3.4.2 Customer information about sustainability factors in insurance products

In accordance with adopted regulations, the sustainability factors of the insurance products offered by the financial service providers of the Sava Insurance Group are presented in a comprehensive and transparent manner. This enables financial service providers to provide relevant information to the distributors of their products, who in turn communicate this information to existing and potential customers of the Sava Insurance Group as part of their business activities.

As part of the amendments to Directive (EU) 2016/97 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 January 2016 on insurance distribution, which regulate the inclusion of sustainability factors and sustainability risks and preferences in the requirements for product supervision and governance, and in the business rules and investment advice for investment insurance products, the insurance companies of the Sava Insurance Group in the relevant markets (Slovenia and Croatia) take sustainability factors and objectives into account in the processes of development or approval of an insurance product, determination of its target market, distribution method, governance and supervision. These insurance companies regularly publish documents on their websites detailing the sustainability factors of their products.

13.3.5 Compliance96

The Sava Insurance Group is obligated to comply with extensive legal and regulatory requirements as well as voluntary obligations. More than 3,000 employees working in Group companies are obliged to abide by these rules. The compliance function ensures that this commitment is implemented in practice, namely by

creating rules, raising awareness, monitoring compliance with the rules and upholding integrity.

13.3.5.1 Organisation of the compliance function

Like the Sava Insurance Group, the compliance function is also decentralised. Each company has its own key compliance function holder, and these are overseen by the Sava Insurance Group compliance function holder. Roles, responsibilities and minimum standards are defined by the Sava Insurance Group's compliance policy. Function holders in each company are responsible for monitoring the legal situation, making recommendations for the adoption of relevant measures, identifying and assessing compliance risks, adopting measures to prevent violation of the rules, providing advice to employees, and monitoring existing processes and potential compliance incidents. The Group-level function holder provides recommendations to function holders in subsidiaries, and assists and monitors them in fulfilling their obligations.

13.3.5.2 Exchange of information within the Sava Insurance Group

To ensure compliance across the Group and continuous improvement of the compliance system, all compliance function holders normally meet once a year.

External experts are also invited as speakers, and together they discuss topics, such as a comprehensive overview of the compliance management system, international standards and best practices with a focus on the role of compliance function holders and providers, characteristic compliance risk areas, how to perform compliance reviews and fulfil other duties of the compliance function holder, the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and its effects on a company's business, other relevant EU and local regulations, and similar.

Each month, compliance function holders in all non-Slovenian subsidiaries report to the Group-level function holder on new or amended regulations that affect the business operations of the relevant company. The list contains the name of the regulation, a brief description of essential changes affecting the company's business, a list of processes affected by these changes, the time limit for implementing the changes, the persons responsible for implementing the changes and, where relevant, the estimated costs involved.

The reporting system established at the Group level facilitates the respective business function holders in managing risks associated with redesigning the business processes that were introduced due to amended legal regulations.

In 2024, the compliance function will continue to provide guidance and oversight in the implementation of EU sustainability regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR), the Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), the EU Taxonomy Regulation, and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CS3D).

13.3.5.3 Outsourced transactions

The Sava Insurance Group companies may outsource a function or activity that is critical or important for a company's business so that it is performed better and/ or more efficiently. This entails certain risks, such as dependence on external service providers and similar. Group companies are therefore very careful when outsourcing, taking into account all legal requirements and recommendations by local regulators. The outsourcing policy of the Sava Insurance Group sets out the minimum outsourcing standards for Group and non-Group contracts.

13.3.6 Complaint resolution

When handling complaints submitted by policyholders (and other beneficiaries of insurance contracts), individual companies that are insurance or pension companies follow the rules and procedures for resolving complaints that comply with local laws and the guidelines of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), whereas the asset management company complies with the guidelines of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) in addition to the applicable laws and regulations in this area.

In accordance with the Sava Insurance Group Governance Rules, complaints addressed at Sava Re but relating to subsidiaries' operations are recorded with Sava Re. After complaints have been examined, they are submitted to subsidiaries for resolution. The Group governance department of Sava Re maintains an internal online register of such complaints. Three complaints were lodged in 2023.

All subsidiaries also have internal rules, prescribed procedures and instructions for monitoring and handling complaints in accordance with applicable laws.

13.3.7 Fair business practices97

The values and principles of ethical conduct are defined in the Code of Ethics of the Sava Insurance Group (the code of ethics), which was also adopted by the Group's subsidiaries. The general principles of the code of ethics are the core values of the Sava Insurance Group, which are binding on all our employees and include, among others, business compliance, protection of reputation, respect for the dignity and integrity of the individual, protection of trade secrets and other confidential information, honest and fair business practices, respect for market rules, professionalism and care for employees, equal information to all shareholders, transparency and integrity of information, avoidance of conflicts of interest, sustainability orientation and respect for human rights. Employees who become aware of violations of the code of ethics or other binding rules must report them to the compliance function holder. No violations of the code of ethics were observed in 2023.

The insurers also comply with the provisions of the adopted Insurance Code to ensure business development, a professional underwriting process and professional conduct. The (re)insurance companies operate in accord-

  • 99 GRI 412-03.
  • 100 GRI 2-23.

Sava Re, which governs, among other issues, the gender- and age-balance of all board members.98 Sava Re has integrated respect for human rights in its operations in accordance with the applicable legislation and follows the proposed National Action Plan of the Republic of Slovenia on Business and Human Rights.

ance with market principles, market competition based on loyalty and integrity, and insurance economics and business ethics, with the aim of providing customers with high-quality (re)insurance protection. Sava Re has also signed the Slovenian Corporate Integrity Guidelines, which commits the Company to creating a work environment based on a culture of corporate integrity, zero tolerance for illegal and unethical conduct of its employees, and compliance with legislation, rules and values, as well as on the highest ethical standards. Sava Re uses the revised Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies, which came into effect on 1 January 2022, as its reference code. At the end of 2017, Sava Re also adopted a policy on the diversity of the management and supervisory boards of With the Policy on Ensuring the Inviolability of the Person and Protection of Personal Dignity in the Sava Insurance Group, we publicly declare that ensuring the inviolability and protection of the personal dignity of employees and other persons involved in work and business processes is one of our key priorities, and we strive to provide and maintain a safe workplace in which no one is exposed to violence (in particular sexual violence), harassment (in particular sexual harassment), discrimination and bullying. Every employee working for an employer has the right to equal treatment, dignity and personal integrity in the workplace. The Act on the Procedure for Dealing with Violations of the Rights to Inviolability of the Person and Personal Dignity in the Sava Insurance Group establishes a protocol for identifying and resolving such risks99. In 2023, Sava Re recorded no such cases.

With the adoption of the Slovenian Reporting Persons Protection Act (ZZPri), which entered into force on 22 February 2023, Directive (EU) 2019/1937 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 October 2019 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law was transposed into the Slovenian law. Sava Re has defined the internal reporting procedure under ZZPri in the Policy for the Establishment of an Internal Reporting

Procedure Pursuant to the Act on the Protection of Reporting Persons in the Sava Insurance Group. The policy applies to Sava Re and serves as a reference document for its subsidiaries. Most of the subsidiaries have already integrated the Group's internal regulations into their operations, while some have done so only partially or in different ways due to different local legislation (e.g. North Macedonia and Montenegro). Sava Re employees were informed of the adoption of the policy and the rules. Both internal regulations were presented to them in a webinar, a recording of which is available to them on the Company's intranet.

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.100

Fraud prevention and detection systems are in place in all Group companies. In this regard, we continuously update the Group's system and procedures, in particular by raising awareness, building knowledge and complying with standards of ethical conduct.

97 GRI 2-15, 2-23, 3-3, 205-1, 205-3, 419-01.

13.3.8 Anti-corruption101

In accordance with the provisions of the Slovenian Corporate Integrity Guidelines, the Sava Insurance Group procurement policy and internal regulations of the Slovenia-based Group members, all contracts establishing legal relations must include an anti-corruption clause, general terms and conditions of business cooperation, and provisions regarding confidential data and protection of personal data.

Sava Re's rules on the management of conflicts of interest set out the procedures and rules relating to receiving gifts, entertainment and hospitality. A detailed and transparent gift policy reduces the risk of unfounded allegations and the spread of distrust regarding employee integrity in the discharge of their duties.

The Sava Insurance Group did not record any corruption cases in 2023.102

13.3.9 Protection of personal data103

At the Sava Insurance Group, we are aware of the wider social implications of the irresponsible handling of personal data, and we take particular account of trends in artificial intelligence or machine learning, smart devices and other modern digital technologies. In line with our

106 GRI 415-01.

In 2021, Sava Re set up a support function for privacy and personal data protection and adopted the Privacy and Personal Data Protection Policy of the Sava Insurance Group. In particular, the policy strengthens the role and competencies of data protection officers (DPOs) and integrates privacy as an important concern into all relevant business and support processes.

The Sava Insurance Group companies have in place internal regulations that define the procedures and measures for the protection of personal data and the management of risks that the processing of personal data in business and support processes poses to the rights of individuals. The data are protected through technical and organisational measures designed to ensure their confidentiality, integrity and availability, and risk minimisation mechanisms are built into the processing operations.

Due to the adoption of new legislation in the Republic of Slovenia, the Slovenia-based companies also focused their personal data protection activities in 2023 on adapting to these changes. In 2023, Sava Insurance Group subsidiaries continued to digitalise the management of personal data protection and strengthened cooperation between relevant stakeholders to sustainably manage the privacy of the Group's employees, customers and business partners.

The Sava Insurance Group did not identify any major incidents in personal data protection in 2023.

13.3.9.1 Cyber security104

The Sava Insurance Group pays very close attention to cyber security, for which we continuously strengthen internal system controls with IT and organisational solutions while training and educating our employees in the area of information security.

Information security is part of section 12 "Information technology".

13.3.10 Respect for human rights105

The Sustainable Development Policy of the Sava Insurance Group requires the Group companies to ensure respect for human rights in accordance with international conventions and applicable legislation, in particular:

• in corporate governance, by adopting and implementing rules on the diversity of management and supervisory bodies;

  • in human resource management, by adopting and implementing internal rules to ensure the dignity and integrity of the individual and the prevention and elimination of psychosocial risks in the workplace;
  • in the procurement of goods and services, by assessing suppliers or contractors using appropriately designed questionnaires, checking their references and requiring contractual commitments from suppliers to respect labour and social rights and fundamental freedoms;
  • in non-life underwriting, by adhering to the Sava Insurance Group's guidelines for responsible non-life underwriting of environmental, social and governance risks;
  • by implementing the principles of the UN Global Compact;
  • in relation to customers who are individuals, by adopting and implementing internal rules on respect for privacy, the protection of personal data and consumer rights.

13.3.11 Contributions to political parties106

In accordance with the adopted code of ethics and the rules on sponsorship and donations, Sava Re and Group subsidiaries do not finance political parties.

commitment to high ethical standards, we focus our attention on this area in close connection with the provision of cyber security and go beyond the minimum requirements of the law. The companies strive to ensure open, transparent and straightforward communication with individuals whose data they process, including through user experience planning.

13.4 Responsibility to the community

As members of the Sava Insurance Group, we forge strong ties with the community in which we operate and establish partnerships with community stakeholders. We support our communities through projects in which we provide financial and volunteer support to institutions, and we are actively involved in social activities and actions.

Our Group's business network is extensive, with individual companies in constant contact with their customers and the environment, as they are best placed to identify the needs and potential of their local communities.

Certain members of our Group are the co-founders of the Network for Social Responsibility of Slovenia and members of the Partnership for National Strategy and Social Responsibility.107

Our efforts in the area of corporate social responsibility are also reflected in the awards received by Zavarovalnica Sava:

  • the You've Got This! (Maš to!) project, dedicated to raising awareness and providing mental health care for young people, was awarded the gold plaque for the best innovation of the Podravje region in 2023 and the bronze plaque for innovation by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia;
  • the insurance company also received two awards for excellent ideas and perfect execution of the project for the Tava, thank you for everything! (Tava, hvala za vse!) campaign, namely the silver award from the Slovenian Advertising Festival (SOF) and the bronze WEBSI award.

In 2023, they also developed the SavaFit incentive programme to encourage their policyholders to be physically active in their free time. To encourage more physical activity, they offer a pay-as-you-go payment scheme and additional benefits from selected partners. The programme was awarded the silver plaque "Best Innovation of the Podravje Region 2023". It is also used as a platform for charity programmes involving policyholders.

As the largest Group company, Zavarovalnica Sava carries out the highest number of activities related to socially responsible projects in the Group. These are mostly long-term projects, such as the Call of Loneliness (Klic osamljenosti) and You've Got This! (Maš to!) initiatives, which raise awareness about the importance of mental health. Sponsorships and donations by substance

At the Group level, we sponsor and support the ABA League. Each company allocates its sponsorships and donations according to its financial plan and the opportunities or needs it sees in the local market.

As the largest member of the Group, Zavarovalnica Sava follows the principle of promoting healthy lifestyles when selecting sponsorship and donation projects. The funding is given to associations and organisations that develop talent and have a positive impact on the environment and the public, including through support for preventive actions.

The most notable sponsorships by Zavarovalnica Sava in 2023:

  • sports: main sponsor of Maribor Football Club, sponsor of Croatian Academic Rowing Club Mladost, Koper Handball Club and Maribor Handball Club, main sponsor of the Golden Fox (Zlata Lisica) World Cup, main sponsor and partner of Tennis Slovenia, main sponsor of Nova KBM Branik Volleyball Club, and main sponsor of the Novo Mesto Half Marathon;

  • care for vulnerable groups: the Committed to Steps (Predani korakom) project in cooperation with the Soča University Rehabilitation Institute, and sponsorship of the Mladi Zmaji Public Institute, which

provides mental health support to young people, and other humanitarian organisations.

In 2023, a year marked by numerous natural catastrophes in most countries of the region, in particular widespread flooding and storms, many Group companies donated funds for reconstruction, adapted processes and ensured timely claims payments as a sign of solidarity.

Last year, Group companies also responded to the impact of the wars by providing financial support to facilitate the integration of young people from Ukraine.

In cooperation with the Ljubljana Stock Exchange, Sava Re supported the organisation of the Days of the Slovenian Capital Market, an event aimed at increasing financial literacy among companies and retail investors.

Sava Re also refrained from purchasing business gifts in 2023. We donated the money that would otherwise have been spent on business gifts to organisations suggested and selected by employees. The 3rd Floor Heroes Society received the largest share of this funding.

13.4.2 Preventive action projects109

Raising awareness among policyholders and the wider community about the importance of protecting property and general health, and the efforts to do so are an important part of the preventive actions of the Sava Insurance Group companies. Through prevention, we avoid and reduce claims while helping policyholders and the wider community to protect their health and property. To this end, the insurance companies create special funds for such projects in accordance with local legislation.

13.4.3 Corporate volunteerism – Heart for the World initiative110

Volunteerism in the form of employee commitment is an important value of the Sava Insurance Group and is united under the common name Heart for the World. To ensure the efficient and transparent implementation of activities, the Group has established a team of coordinators who manage the implementation of activities in their communities according to the interests and wishes of employees and liaise with various philanthropic and environmental organisations in their area. Volunteerism is about acting responsibly towards the environment, people and animals.

Annual employee surveys form the basis for planning activities, and all Group employees contribute many hours of corporate volunteering to organised events. In 2023, various volunteer activities were also carried out throughout the year, ranging from socialising with the elderly and people with special needs, caring for animals, cleaning up the environment, tending lawns and planting trees, to blood donor days, collecting aid for socially disadvantaged groups and similar.

The Heart for the World Working Group also places great importance on raising awareness of pressing environmental and social issues among all employees by organising training sessions and sending out emails on important global days (e.g. Human Rights Day or World Water Day).

In 2023, a team of coordinators in six countries organised 71 events involving around a third of all employees. This amounted to a total of 5,114 hours of volunteering.

13.4.4 Commitments to external initiatives111

The Sava Insurance Group is involved in initiatives that promote ethical conduct and sustainable business practices. We comply with the fundamental standard of professional business conduct as laid down by the Insurance Code of the Slovenian Insurance Association. We follow the recommendations of the Ljubljana Stock Exchange for listed companies on disclosure of information and have signed the Slovenian Corporate Integrity Guidelines.

Sava Re's code of reference is the Slovenian Corporate Governance Code for Listed Companies.

13.4.5 Membership in associations112

Sava Re is active in several professional associations: Slovenian Insurance Association, Slovenian Directors' Association, British-Slovenian Chamber of Commerce, Chamber of Commerce of Dolenjska and Bela Krajina, Maritime Law Association of Slovenia, Sors (meeting of insurance and reinsurance companies), Slovenian Institute of Auditors, Slovenian Association of Actuaries, CFA Institute and European Institute of Compliance and Ethics (EISEP).

Since 2021, the Sava Insurance Group has been committed to the UN Global Compact and the UN Principles for Responsible Investment.

As of 2022, Sava Re is also a member of the Slovenian Green Network.

All subsidiaries are members of relevant associations and proactively contribute to the development of the industry and other social actions.

13.5 Environmental aspect113

Climate change and related weather events have a profound impact on the global and local (re) insurance industry. Environmental problems bring new and unexpected risks to the insurance sector. The Group is aware that this requires urgent action, both in operational and strategic terms.

13.5.1 Waste disposal policy114

Sava Re has a waste separation system in place, which is constantly being improved. The Company also strives to reduce waste. 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.

At the new office building in Maribor, where six Slovenian companies of the Group are based, municipal waste is collected and disposed of separately according to the categories defined by regulations as waste collected by public waste collection services. Such waste is collected by the public service provider in a manner defined by regulations.

All Group companies are digitalising processes and going paperless to reduce waste.

At the Group level, we separate waste as required by local utility companies and in accordance with regulations. Group companies have widely organised the collection of electronic waste. Most companies have already introduced separate waste collection methods, most commonly used for paper, plastic packaging, biowaste and glass – where this is a systemic possibility.

13.5.2 Energy consumption115 and energy efficiency investments

Energy consumption and energy efficiency are environmental and economic concerns.

The Sava Insurance Group remains committed to sustainability also in investing and investment maintenance. The Group is constantly looking for ways to reduce energy consumption, including by investing in new energy efficiency solutions. Investment decisions are also always assessed from an energy efficiency perspective.

The most important investment is the new office building of Zavarovalnica Sava in Maribor, where Sava Infond, Sava Pokojninska, TBS Team 24, ZS Svetovanje and Asistim have also moved their offices. The office building was designed and built in line with the Group's strategic sustainability guidelines and has an energy rating "A". It is equipped with a central control system that allows efficient management of modern devices, thus ensuring the efficient use of energy resources. The functional design of space and access, together with the modern IT infrastructure, allows employees to work in a well-organised environment, while the building's accessible location and ample parking provide an excellent user experience for visitors. An important addition to the new building is a 52.2 kW solar power plant, which contributed around 16% of the green energy in 2023. To ensure and promote sustainable mobility, the site includes charging stations for electric vehicles, a bike shed and a park in the immediate vicinity of the building, which is open to all visitors. An additional 66.6 kW solar power plant is planned for the building in early 2024. The installation of a solar power plant on canopies will increase the share of green energy to around 35% of total electricity consumption.

To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, we installed another 166.6 kW solar power plant in Slovenia to supply green energy to the insurance company's sales and claims centre.

Group companies are striving to improve the energy efficiency of their business premises while meeting demands to improve the customer experience and working conditions for employees. Investments include, for example, the installation of LED lighting, other more energy-efficient devices and heating and cooling systems for business premises, the implementation of green energy measures, the purchase of hybrid and electric vehicles, investment in charging infrastructure, investment in e-documentation systems, and the use of a central control system at strategic locations aimed at managing energy-intensive devices to continuously optimise energy use.

The vast majority of Zavarovalnica Sava employees have the option of car sharing for business travel, which is particularly useful in urban areas or in larger Slovenian cities.

To achieve energy efficiency, we are implementing a number of measures at the Company level in line with the adopted action plan, such as homeworking, manual energy accounting, employee training on efficient energy use, and measures relating to the Company's fleet and business travel.

Average fuel consumption is taken into account when purchasing new vehicles for the Group. The type of vehicles purchased also depends on the availability of a network of charging stations in the countries in which we operate.

Slovenian companies of the Sava Insurance Group sign a pledge of support for the "Green Heart of the Karst" project. Around 80 employees take part in planting trees – first in the Karst region (West Slovenia), then in the Prekmurje region (Northeast Slovenia.)

13.5.3 Carbon footprint of the Sava Insurance Group for 2023116

The calculation of the carbon footprint for 2023 includes all companies of the Sava Insurance Group on a consolidated basis.

The carbon footprint calculation includes:

  • direct emissions from the use of fossil fuels for space heating and power generators, fuel combustion in vehicles owned or controlled by the company, and fugitive refrigerant gases (scope 1 emissions);
  • indirect emissions from the consumption of electricity and district heating (scope 2 emissions);
  • indirect emissions from the purchase of paper and water, waste water management, and business travel by means not owned or controlled by the company (scope 3 emissions).

The carbon footprint of the Sava Insurance Group in 2023 is calculated using the location-based method and amounts to 3,984 tonnes of CO2 equivalent (tCO2 e). This means 1.45 t CO2 equivalent per employee or 70.5 kg CO2 equivalent per square metre of office space.

Compared to the reference year 2022, the Sava Insurance Group's carbon footprint in 2023 was 6% lower,

emissions per employee were 9% lower, and emissions per unit area of office space were 4% lower. The main contributors to this reduction were lower emissions from electricity consumption and heating, while emissions from business travel increased.

Scope 1 emissions in 2023 accounted for 1,070 tCO2 e (27% of the carbon footprint), scope 2 emissions 2,595 tCO2 e (65% of the carbon footprint) and scope 3 emissions 318 tCO2 e (8% of the carbon footprint). The largest source of greenhouse gas emissions was electricity consumption (42%), followed by heating (30%) and business travel (27%).

The 2023 carbon footprint calculation is the third calculation at the level of the entire Sava Insurance Group, with the 2022 carbon footprint calculation serving as a baseline or benchmark against which to compare the carbon footprint and the effectiveness of emission reduction measures in the coming years. The Group is continuously working to improve the quality of the data collected on energy consumption and the scope of emission-generating activities. In addition, we are gradually expanding the range of emission sources that Group companies include in their reporting. In 2023, emission sources were added, such as office paper purchases, water purchases and waste water management.

* The company was acquired in 2023.

16.3 Consolidation principles

The parent company prepared both separate and consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2023.

The consolidated financial statements include Sava Re as the parent 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.

The consolidated financial statements of the Sava Insurance Group include all companies directly or indirectly controlled by Sava Re, which controls a company if and only if it has all the following elements:

  • power over the company (directs the relevant activities that significantly affect the company's returns),
  • exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the company, and
  • the ability to use its power over the company to affect the amount of its returns.

The Group's consolidated financial statements also include associate companies in which the members of the Sava Insurance Group (parent and subsidiaries) hold, directly or indirectly, between 20% and 50% of all voting rights. If they hold less than 20%, they can still have significant influence, provided such influence can be demonstrated.

All subsidiaries in the Sava Insurance Group are fully consolidated. The Group does not apply the exemption to exclude any of its companies from full consolidation. Interests in associates and joint ventures are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the equity method.

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.

Subsidiaries that manage pension funds (except Slove
nia-based Sava Pokojninska Družba) and management
companies that manage the funds' assets are consoli
dated without the funds as under law such fund assets
are separate from the assets of the company that man
ages them. Accordingly, these funds are not included
in the consolidated financial statements.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer's previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Subsequently, goodwill is measured at cost less any impairment losses. The non-controlling interest is measured at the current proportionate share of the equity interests in the acquiree's recognised net assets.

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 parent. 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.

All companies within the Group apply uniform accounting policies. If the accounting policies of a subsidiary differ from the accounting policies applied by the Group, appropriate adjustments are made to the financial statements of such subsidiary prior to the compilation of the consolidated financial statements to ensure compliance with the accounting policies of the Group.

16.4 Significant accounting policies

Significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated and separate financial statements are set out below. In 2023, the Group applied the same accounting policies as in 2022. The Group and the Company have applied for the first time the new standards IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" in the reporting. The impact of the first application is described in more detail in section 16.6 – Transition to the new standards IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

16.4.1 Statement of compliance

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 (IFRIC), as adopted by the European Union. They have also been prepared in accordance with applicable Slovenian legislation (the Companies Act – ZGD-1). The "Sava Insurance Group financial control rules" lay down accounting policies that must be followed by subsidiaries when reporting for consolidation purposes. The "Rules on accounting and accounting policies of Sava Re d.d." set down in detail the accounting policies of the Company.

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 parent company aims at providing understandable, relevant, reliable and comparable accounting information.

The Company's management board approved the audited financial statements on 15 March 2024.

16.4.2 Measurement basis

The financial statements have been prepared based on the going-concern assumption, which is further described in section 16.7.1.5 "Risk assessment and going concern assumption".

The financial statements have been prepared on the historic cost basis, except for financial assets, including policyholder assets, which are valued on both the fair value and amortised cost basis.

16.4.3 Presentation currency, translation of transactions and items

The financial statements are presented in euros (EUR) without cents. For ease of presentation, some figures in the notes to the financial statements are rounded to million euro. The euro is the functional and presentation currency of Sava Re. The financial statements of the subsidiaries that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into euros as described below. Rounding of values may result in insignificant differences in the table totals.

All balances as at 31 December 2023 whose original value is in a foreign currency have been translated into euro at the rates of the European Central Bank (ECB) reference rate list published by the Bank of Slovenia as at 31 December 2023. Amounts in the income statements have been translated using the average exchange rate. Balances as at 31 December 2022 and 31 December 2023 have been translated at the applicable daily or monthly ECB exchange rate for each currency. If the Bank of Slovenia does not publish the exchange rate for a particular currency, the exchange rate published on Bloomberg is used. 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 2023 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.

In the consolidated financial statements, exchange rate differences resulting from the translation of a net investment in a foreign subsidiary are recognised in the equity item translation reserve.

In measuring insurance contracts under IFRS 17, an individual group of insurance contracts that generates cash flows in a foreign currency, including the contractual service margin, is treated as a monetary item. The Company and the Group have endorsed the single currency denomination approach, which means that a single currency is determined for the calculation of the contractual service margin based on the prevailing currency of cash flows. The dominant or principal currency for a contract may be determined in the underwriting process or may be determined on the basis of the prevailing cash flows of the contracts included in a group of contracts, for example, portfolios of contracts from specific foreign markets.

16.4.4 Use of major accounting estimates, sources of uncertainty

Assumptions and other sources of uncertainty relate to estimates that require management to make complex, subjective and comprehensive judgements. The most important areas that involve significant management judgement are presented below.

  • The source of uncertainty and significant risk in the measurement of insurance and reinsurance contracts is discussed in section 16.4.21.7 "Measurement of (re)insurance contracts issued":
  • Estimates of future cash flows are based on deterministic forecasting models.
  • The adjustment of the expected cash flows for the time value of money and the financial risks associated with those cash flows is calculated using current discount rates determined using a bottom-up approach.
  • The Group and the Company use deterministic and stochastic models to calculate value at risk and tail value at risk, when calculating risk adjustments for non-financial risk.
  • The need for impairment of goodwill is assessed using the accounting policy under section 16.4.7 "Goodwill" and note 16.8.1.
  • The method for determining the need for impairment of investments in subsidiaries and associates is set out in accounting policy 16.4.13 "Investments in subsidiaries and associates" and in note 16.8.6.

• Financial investments, investment contract assets and assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk: The classification, recognition, measurement and derecognition, impairment of investments and fair value measurement are based on the accounting policy set out in section 16.4.14 "Financial investments". Movement in investments and their classification are shown in note 16.8.7, whereas the associated income and expenses are shown in note 16.8.37.

Other areas of management judgement:

  • The determination of the fair value of land and buildings for the purpose of impairment testing is disclosed in section 16.4.8.
  • The determination of the fair value of investment property for the purpose of impairment testing is disclosed in section 16.4.12, and the fair value of investment property is disclosed in section 16.8.34.
  • Intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. If there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the intangible asset is reviewed.
  • Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised if Group entities plan to realise a profit in their medium-term projections. For details, see section 16.4.11; deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented in note 16.8.4.
  • Receivables are impaired in line with the accounting policy set out in section 16.4.16 "Receivables".
  • The actuarial assumptions used in the calculation of employee benefits for severance pay upon retirement and jubilee benefits are described in section 16.4.22 "Other provisions", and the sensitivity analysis of the assumptions used is presented in note 16.8.30 "Other provisions".
  • The valuation of non-current assets held for sale is set out in section 16.4.10.

16.4.5 Cash flow statement

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 intra-Group cash flows. Cash flows from operating activities have been prepared based on data from the 2023 statement of financial position and income statement, with appropriate adjustments for items that do not constitute cash flows. Cash flows from financing and investing activities are shown based on actual receipts and disbursements. Items relating to changes in net current assets are shown net.

16.4.6 Intangible assets

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. Intangible assets are first amortised upon their availability for use.

Intangible assets include computer software and software-related licences (which typically have a useful life of between 5 and 7 years). In case of recognition of a specific intangible asset (such as a customer list or contractual customer relationships), the useful life is determined for each such asset separately.

Intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. If there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the intangible asset is reviewed. The recoverable amount is the net value in use estimated using future cash flows. Value in use is determined based on management's assessment.

If the recoverable amount exceeds or is equal to the carrying amount, the asset is not impaired. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

16.4.7 Goodwill

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 (a gain on a bargain purchase), 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. Goodwill is not amortised.

Method of calculating value in use

Value in use for each cash-generating unit is calculated using the discounted cash flow method (DCF method). The budget projections of each acquired company representing a cash-generating unit and the 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.

  • Size premium: CRSP Deciles Study, Duff & Phelps, December 2022.

The discount rate is determined as the cost of equity (COE), 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 elements of the discount rate have been taken from: • The risk-free rate of return is based on the yield to maturity of 30-year German government bonds (source: Bloomberg). • The equity risk premium has been taken from the publication of KPMG "Equity market risk premium," Research Summary, December 2023. • Tax rates included in the discount rate calculation are the applicable tax rates in individual countries where companies operate. • Beta for individual industries has been calculated The bases for the testing of value in use are prepared in several phases: In phase one, the Company prepares 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 parent company and confirmed by the relevant governance body. For insurance, pension and mutual fund management 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 was planned for foreign insurance companies in five-year projections in view of the low insurance penetration rates. Insurance penetration is expected to increase markedly due to the expected convergence of their countries' macroeconomic indicators towards levels common in western European countries. Western Balkan markets, which have a relatively low penetration rate, are expected to 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. The valuations used a long-term growth rate (g) of the risk-free rate of return (2.3%) to estimate the residual value beyond the projection period. A cash-generating unit consists of an individual company. Movement in goodwill is discussed in detail in section 16.8.1. Goodwill of associate companies is included in their respective carrying amount. Any impairment losses on their goodwill are treated as impairment losses on investments in associate companies. Section 16.8.1 sets out the main assumptions for cash flow projections with a calculation of value in use.

GDP.

The profitability of pension companies is expected to grow, driven by increased contributions to pension funds as the result of demographic trends and at relatively fixed operating costs.

16.4.8 Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment 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 accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

Items of property, plant and equipment 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.

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 as-

sessed 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.

The cost of major repairs and replacement of part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the asset, if it is probable that future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. Replaced parts are derecognised.

Investments in property, plant and equipment assets that increase future economic benefits are recognised in their carrying amount.

Depreciation rates of property, plant and equipment assets

Depreciation group Rate
Land 0.0%
Buildings 1.3%–2.0%
Transportation means 15.5%–20.0%
Computer equipment 33.33%
Office and other furniture 10.0%–12.5%
Other equipment 6.7%–20.0%

16.4.9 Right-of-use assets and lease liability

At inception of a contract, an assessment is made whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group reassesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease only if the terms and conditions of the contract are changed.

At the commencement date of the lease, an asset acquired under a lease is recognised as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. Short-term leases (of up to 12 months) and low-value leases (the cost of an asset is less than EUR 5000) are exempt from recognition as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Short-term and low-value leases are treated by the Group companies as lease expenses, which are recognised in the income statement and classified within operating activities in the cash flow statement.

Right-of-use assets are measured applying a cost model. On initial recognition at the commencement date of the lease, the cost of a right-of-use asset comprises the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease, any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee, and an estimate of the costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset. On subsequent measurement,

the initial cost of a right-of-use asset is reduced by any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straightline basis over the lease term. If, by the end of the lease term, the lease transfers the ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee, or if the value of the right-of-use asset reflects that the lessee will exercise a purchase option, the lessee depreciates the right-ofuse asset from the commencement date until the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the lessee depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate. After initial recognition, the lease liability is measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made. Right-of-use assets and lease liability are recognised net of taxes.

The lessee's incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on the yield to maturity of unsecured bonds given the credit rating of Sava Re and the maturity profile (1–30 years). To this is added a country risk premium as the difference between the credit rating of each country and that of Sava Re, which already includes the country risk of Slovenia.

The lease term is the non-cancellable period for which a lessee has the right to use an underlying asset. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend the lease, if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option.

For leases of indefinite duration and leases with an extension option, the lease term is either contractually fixed or estimated based on the Group's past experience and strategic priorities.

Right-of-use assets and lease liability are presented as two separate line items in the statement of financial position. In the income statement, the depreciation charge is a component of operating expenses or expenses, whereas interest expense is a component of finance costs. In the statement of cash flows, cash payments for the principal portion of the lease liability are classified within financing activities, and cash payments for the interest portion within operating activities.

A lease modification is deemed a separate lease only if it involves the addition of the right to use one or more underlying assets at a price that would apply if the additional asset were leased on a stand-alone basis. The existing liability is remeasured by taking into account the new level of the consideration for the lease, when the new asset is added, the total consideration is spread evenly over all the related underlying assets, taking into account the new lease term, and remeasuring the lease liability using the new discount rate in effect at the time of the modification.

On the other side, an adjustment is made to the rightof-use asset based on the difference between the remeasured liability and the liability before the modification. If the carrying amount of the latter is zero and there is a further reduction in the measurement of the lease liability, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognised in profit or loss.

16.4.10 Non-current assets held for sale

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 management 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. Non-current assets are tested for impairment at least annually. If there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the non-current asset is reviewed.

16.4.11 Deferred tax assets and liabilities

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 and liabilities are established from:

• temporary non-deductible impairment losses on investments in portfolio securities,

  • established allowances for receivables,
  • unused tax losses,
  • provisions for employees and actuarial gains/losses resulting from their calculation,
  • revaluation of investments to fair value,
  • the effect of changes in interest rates on the calculation of insurance and reinsurance liabilities.

Deferred tax liabilities are created for fair value adjustments and on initial recognition of intangible assets (customer lists or contractual relationships with customers) on acquisition of a new company. Deferred tax liabilities have also been created for the comparative year 2022 as a result of the transition to the new accounting standards IFRS 17 and IFRS 9. Deferred tax assets and liabilities of a Group compa-

ny are offset only if they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities. In the consolidated financial statements, deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset depending on the jurisdiction.

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.

16.4.12 Investment property

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 1.3–2.0%. 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. Lease payments (rentals) received are recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. 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.

16.4.13 Investments in subsidiaries and associates

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost, 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. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements using the full consolidation method.

Associates are entities in which the Company holds between 20% and 50% of voting rights or over which the Company has significant influence. Associates are accounted for using the equity method.

Impairment

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).

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 management for the period until and including 2028. 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.

Main assumptions for cash flow projections with calculations of value in use

Discounted cash flow projections are based on the Group companies' business plans covering a 5-year period (business plans for individual companies for the period 2024–2028).

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 share 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, which may lead to greater profitability.

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 is a country risk premium and a size premium.

Assessments as to whether there is any indication of impairment of investments in subsidiaries are made using the same model as for goodwill. See section 16.4.7 "Goodwill" for more information on the assumptions used.

16.4.14 Financial investments

Financial investments and financial liabilities are classified, recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", as further described as follows.

16.4.14.1 Classification

In accordance with IFRS 9, the Group and the Company classify financial assets on the basis of both their business models for managing the financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of their financial asset. On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified into one of the following measurement categories:

  • at amortised cost (AC),
  • at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI), and
  • at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

The business model for managing financial assets reflects the management of a group of financial assets to achieve certain objectives. The management of such a group of financial assets is based on:

  • the nature of the company's liabilities backed by an investment portfolio;
  • how the performance of a business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the key management personnel;
  • the risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and, in particular, the way in which those risks are managed; and
  • how managers of the business are compensated.

The business model is determined based on a consideration of the main factors mentioned above that influence the purpose of achieving the asset management objectives.

The following business models are defined:

  • a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows (the hold-tocollect model),
  • a business model whose objective is to both collect contractual cash flows and sell financial assets (the hold-to-collect-and-sell model), and
  • other business models.

For the purpose of classifying financial assets in terms of their contractual cash flow characteristics (the SPPI test), the principal amount represents the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. For the purpose of classifying financial assets in terms of their contractual cash flow characteristics (the SPPI test), interest consists of consideration for the time value of money, for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

A financial asset is measured at amortised cost (AC) if both of the following conditions are met:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows, and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) if both of the following conditions are met:

  • the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
  • the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

A financial asset is measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) if:

  • it is a debt instrument and does not fall into one of the above measurement categories (AC/FVOCI);
  • it is an equity instrument and is not designated for measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI option);
  • it eliminates or significantly reduces an "accounting mismatch";
  • it is a derivative.

Assets measured at amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 9 are deposits with a maturity of more than three months, loans and debt securities classified as hold to collect at the date of transition to IFRS 9 that the Group and the Company will hold to maturity.

Upon adoption of IFRS 9, the Group and the Company classify debt instruments into the hold to collect and sell business model. The classification of an investment in this business model is subject to the SPPI test, which confirms that the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

It follows from the above that the Group and the Company have the majority of their debt securities classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).

Under IFRS 9, equity instruments are classified as at fair value through profit or loss, but the option to measure at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) exists for shares and participations in accordance with the standard. The Group companies have equity instruments classified mainly in the fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) group.

Other types of investments, such as units in collective investment undertakings, ETFs, alternative funds, etc. are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) under IFRS 9.

Classification of financial liabilities

The Group and the Company classify financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost. The Group and the Company do not have any financial liabilities that are irrevocably designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition as this results in more relevant information because it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (accounting mismatch) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the related gains and losses on different bases.

16.4.14.2 Recognition, measurement and derecognition

Initial recognition

The Group and the Company recognise a financial asset or a financial liability in their statements of financial position when, and only when, the Group and the Company become party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. When the Group and the Company first recognise a financial asset, it is classified and measured in accordance with the Group's and the Company's accounting policies.

A regular way purchase or sale of a financial asset is recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

After initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure a financial asset at:

  • amortised cost,
  • fair value through other comprehensive income, or
  • fair value through profit or loss.

The Group and the Company apply the impairment requirements of the standard to financial assets that are measured at amortised cost and financial assets that are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Except for trade receivables, at initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure a financial asset or financial liability at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for: a. purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Group and the Company apply the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the finan-

After initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure a financial liability at:

  • amortised cost, or
  • fair value through profit or loss.

Amortised cost measurement

Financial assets measured at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. They are stated at the principal amount outstanding, plus any unpaid interest and fees, less any impairment. Interest income is calculated using the

  • cial asset from initial recognition;
  • b. financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets. For these financial assets, the Group and the Company apply the effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

The effective interest rate is determined at the time of purchase of the investment. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or financial liability to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset or to the amortised cost of a financial liability.

When the contractual cash flows of a financial asset are renegotiated or otherwise modified and the renegotiation or modification does not result in the derecognition of that financial asset in accordance with the accounting policies, the Group and the Company recalculate the gross carrying amount of the financial asset and recognise a modification gain or loss in profit or loss.

The Group and the Company directly reduce the gross carrying amount of a financial asset when they have no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. A write-off constitutes a derecognition event.

Derecognition

The Group and the Company derecognise a financial asset when, and only when, the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or the financial asset is transferred and the transfer qualifies for derecognition in accordance with the Group's and the Company's accounting policies. On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount (measured at the date of derecognition) and the consideration received (including any new asset obtained less any new liability assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.

The Group and the Company remove a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) from their statements of financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished, i.e. the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

16.4.14.3 Impairment of financial investments

General approach

The Group and the Company apply the expected credit loss concept under IFRS 9, which is based on the recognition and measurement of an allowance for expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income (bonds, deposits, loans granted). In the case of a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, an allowance for expected credit losses is recognised in other comprehensive income and does not result in a reduction in the carrying amount of the financial asset in the statement of financial position.

The Group and the Company determine the expected credit loss by recognising and measuring a loss allowance for expected credit losses, which is calculated based on the classification into one of three stages:

Stage 1: for assets for which credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, expected 12-month credit losses are calculated.

Stage 2: for assets for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, lifetime expected credit losses are calculated.

Stage 3: for assets that are credit-impaired or in default, where the lifetime expected credit loss is calculated and considers the appropriate probability of default as well as expected cash flows stemming from proceeds from sale, etc., but at the net carrying amount (the gross carrying amount less any impairment loss).

At each investment valuation, the Group and the Company perform a classification into stages based on the information obtained on the change in the credit risk of each issuer. In order to assess significant increases in credit risk, the Group and the Company regularly monitor and analyse any changes in external credit ratings obtained from external credit assessment institutions (ECAIs). The first measure of increased credit risk since initial recognition used by the Group and the Company is a three-notch downgrade and reclassification of the investment from investment grade to speculative grade.

In addition, the Group and the Company use an internal model to assess external credit ratings or use internal credit ratings to identify increased credit risk, monitor the zero-volatility spread (Z-spread) of investments and other available qualitative information when an external credit rating is not available.

If, at the reporting date, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group and the Company measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. For assets for which credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, lifetime expected credit losses are calculated.

Measurement of expected credit losses

Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses (i.e. the present value of all cash shortfalls) over the expected life of the financial instrument.

Expected credit losses are determined based on historical data on recoverability, expected macroeconomic trends and certain other factors that indicate the expected solvency of a debtor. The main input parameters for determining credit losses are the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). The expected credit loss is the product of the expected probability of default, the expected loss given default and the expected exposure at the time of default.

The Company and the Group obtain the PD parameter from Moody's rating reports, where long-term averages of default rates and transition matrices from initial to final rating over a given period can be obtained. The reports are separate for corporate and government bonds, and the data is updated once a year. The underlying data have been adjusted based on expectations for the economic situation, thus achieving the forward-looking approach required by the standard.

The standard provides no guidance on how to determine the loss given default (LGD) or the recovery rate (RR), which is why the Group and the Company follow established practice and use data provided by credit rating agencies annually calculated based on historical data. Such reports contain a section on corporate and one on government bonds. Due to ease of access and the comprehensive presentation of default rates in reports, the Group's and the Company's methodology has focused on the credit rating agency Moody's, while comparative information can also be obtained from the reports prepared by S&P Global Ratings.

In determining counterparty default risk, the Group and the Company consider criteria such as that at least one of the rating agencies assesses that the issuer or a specific issue of financial instruments is in default (excluding technical default, i.e. default by the borrower) or 30 days past due for bonds and 90 days past due for loans with respect to the payment of principal or interest.

Write-off

The Group and the Company write off an asset if there is no reasonable expectation that the financial asset will be recovered, in whole or in part. A write-off is treated as a derecognition event.

16.4.14.4 Gains and losses

Any gain and loss arising from a change in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

Dividends are recognised in profit or loss only when:

  • the entity's right to receive payment of the dividend is established;
  • it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the entity, and
  • the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

At initial recognition, the Group and the Company may make an irrevocable election to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognised in other comprehensive income. If an entity makes this election, it recognises in profit or loss dividends from that investment.

A gain or loss on a financial asset that is measured at amortised cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognised in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognised, reclassified, through the amortisation process or in order to recognise impairment gains or losses.

The Group and the Company recognise a gain or loss on a financial liability that is designated as at fair value through profit or loss as follows:

  • the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income; and
  • the remaining amount of change in the fair value of the liability is presented in profit or loss unless the treatment of the effects of changes in the liability's credit risk may create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognised or reclassified. When a financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. Interest calculated using the effective interest method is recognised in profit or loss.

16.4.14.5 Determination of fair values

The Group and the Company measure all financial instruments at fair value, except for deposits, shares not quoted in any regulated market that do not represent a significant portion of the investment portfolio, loans (assuming that their carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value) and financial instruments 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 16.8.34.

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 and the Company. 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:

  • for stock exchanges: the quoted closing price on the stock exchange on the valuation date or on the last trading day of the stock exchange on which the investment is listed;
  • for the OTC market: the quoted CBBT closing bid price or, if unavailable, the Bloomberg BVAL bid price, which may not be more than 15 days old.
  • the price calculated based on an internal valuation model or yield curve valuation.

lue
an-
om-

For the valuation, the Group and the Company use the closing price on the stock exchange or the published BID bid price for debt investments (according to the defined Bloomberg methodology) as the unadjusted quoted price, while the BVAL bid price calculated on the basis of the internal valuation model or the yield curve valuation do not represent unadjusted quoted prices.

The BVAL bid price (based on the defined Bloomberg methodology) represents a price that is not quoted but calculated based on directly and indirectly observable market inputs. When calculating the price using a valuation model, the Group and the Company first use directly and indirectly observable market inputs. If these are not available, the Group and the Company determine the price of a financial investment using a model with unobservable inputs, as defined in IFRS 13.86 to IFRS 13.90.

To assess the quality of the BVAL rate, the Company uses the BVAL Score, the number of direct observations and the proportion and age of quotes.

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 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.

Investments measured or disclosed at fair value are presented in accordance with the levels of fair value, which categorises the inputs used to measure fair value into the following three levels of the fair value hierarchy:

  • Level 1: financial investments for which fair value is determined based on quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical financial assets that the Company can access at the measurement date. This level includes the prices of debt investments with CBBT prices and those BVAL prices that are composed exclusively of direct observations with at least 90% binding quotes and where at least 3 binding quotes must not be more than one day old.
  • Level 2: financial investments whose fair value is determined using data that are directly or indirectly observable other than quoted prices included within level 1. Pursuant to IFRS 13.82, level 2 data may include:
    • quoted prices for similar financial investments in active markets,
    • quoted prices for identical or similar financial investments in markets that are not active,
  • inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for financial investments,
  • market-corroborated inputs.

This level includes BVAL prices of debt investments that consist of at least 90% direct observations, where market inputs are used for a directly or indirectly identical or similar asset, and where at least 3 quotes must be no more than 15 days old.

• Level 3: financial investments for which observable market data is not available. Fair value is thus determined based on valuation techniques using inputs that are not directly or indirectly observable in the market. The Company classifies securities valued using an internal model that does not take into account level 2 inputs into this level.

This level includes BVAL prices of debt investments that do not meet the criteria for level 1 or level 2 and for which the inputs for the model-based valuation are not readily and objectively determinable and available to the company.

The Group and the Company classify as level-3 investments their investments in alternative funds, such as real-estate funds, infrastructure funds, private debt funds, private equity funds and similar. There are no market prices available for such investments; therefore, valuation based on available market data is not possible.

In accordance with IFRS 13.97 and accounting policies, the Group and the Company categorise within the fair value hierarchy also those financial investments that are not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is disclosed.

The policy for determining when transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred is disclosed and is fully complied with. The policy on the timing of recognising transfers is the same for transfers into the levels and 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. The Group and the Company review quarterly the categorisation of investments into the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. To this end, they apply the rules for determining the fair value set out under note 16.8.34. If the conditions for classification change, financial investments are reclassified into the relevant level.

The following table shows the classification of financial investments according to the inputs used and market activity.

16.4.15 Investment contract assets and liabilities

Contracts of homogeneous groups are classified as investment contracts if they bear significant financial risk and are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 9. Investment contract assets and liabilities only include the investment contract assets and liabilities of the company Sava Pokojninska, which manages pension funds. Investment contract assets comprise the assets supporting the liability funds "My Life-Cycle Funds" for the transaction of voluntary supplementary pension business. Valuation is described in section 16.4.14 "Financial investments". Classification and valuation of assets is presented in detail in note 16.8.8. Investment contract liabilities are 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. These are liabilities relating to the voluntary supplementary pension life liability fund for premiums paid, guaranteed returns and additional liabilities to cover the difference between the actual return and the guaranteed return. Investment contract liabilities are presented in note 16.8.8.

Sava Pokojninska initially recognises investment property assets in respect of pension fund business under investment contract assets using the cost model, plus any transaction costs. The following measurements are made using the fair value model due to regulatory requirements and the fact that these are pension fund assets. An assessment is made annually as to whether there is an indication of impairment of investment property. If such indications exist, the process of assessing the value is initiated. At least every three years, appraisals are carried out by certified real estate appraisers licensed by the Slovenian Institute of Auditors. The amounts of investment property in investment contract assets are not adjusted for consolidation purposes.

16.4.16 Receivables

16.4.16.1 Recognition of receivables

Initial recognition of receivables is based on invoices or other credible documents (e.g. interest statement). Receivables comprise receivables from accrued interest receivable, prepayments receivable and other receivables that can be allocated to individual debtors. In the statement of financial position, receivables are stated at amortised cost. Depending on the significance of each type of receivable in the companies' financial statements, an allowance is recognised for expected credit losses based on the debtor's expected future solvency in accordance with IFRS 9. Impairment is recognised using a simplified approach where the loss allowance is measured as an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses. The Group companies do not recognise impairment losses on current receivables and on receivables that are regularly paid by the debtor.

The Group companies have pledged no receivables as security.

16.4.16.2 Receivables write-offs

Write-offs of receivables require appropriate supporting documents, such as a court decision, bankruptcy order or other document evidencing that the company has lost its legal title, or in cases where it is evident that collection is not meaningful due to excessive costs of the proceedings.

16.4.17 Other assets

Other assets consist of capitalised short-term accruals and deferrals, namely short-term deferred costs.

16.4.18 Cash and cash equivalents

The statement of financial position and cash flow item "cash and cash equivalents" comprises:

  • cash, including cash in hand, cash in bank accounts of commercial banks and other financial institutions, and overnight deposits, and
  • cash equivalents, including demand deposits and deposits with an original maturity of up to three months.

16.4.19 Equity

Equity consists of:

  • share capital, i.e. the par value of paid-up ordinary shares expressed in euro;
  • capital reserves comprise amounts paid up in excess of the par value of shares;
  • profit reserves comprise reserves provided for in the articles of association, legal reserves, the capital redemption reserve and other profit reserves;
  • treasury shares acquired in line with a share repurchase programme published on the Company's website, at https://www.sava-re.si/en-si/investor-relations/our-share/;
  • accumulated other comprehensive income revaluation of investments, changes in interest rates used to calculate insurance and reinsurance contract liabilities, and actuarial gains and losses on provisions for employees;
  • retained earnings;
  • net profit or loss for the year;
  • foreign currency translation reserve;
  • non-controlling interest.

Reserves provided for in the articles of association are used:

• cover the net loss that cannot be covered (in full) out of retained earnings and other profit reserves, or when these two sources of funds are insufficient to cover the net loss in full (an instrument of additional protection of tied-up capital);

  • to increase share capital;
  • to regulate the dividend policy.

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.

16.4.20 Subordinated liabilities

Subordinated liabilities of the Group and the Company represent a long-term liability of the Group and the Company in the form of a subordinated bond to be used for general corporate purposes of the Sava Insurance Group and to optimise its capital structure and are valued at amortised cost. Details are set out in note 16.8.29.

16.4.21 Insurance contracts

16.4.21.1 Description of products

The Group issues the following types of insurance contracts:

  • Non-participating life insurance contracts measured using the general approach, which include:
    • fixed and decreasing term life insurance contracts purchased with a single premium or instalments and
    • endowment policies.
  • Direct participating life insurance contracts comprising:
  • Life insurance contracts linked to units of mutual funds or internal funds, in some cases with an interest-rate guarantee, measured using the variable fee approach.
  • Hybrid life insurance contracts, part of which is linked to units of mutual funds, measured using the variable fee approach, and part of which is an endowment insurance contract with an interest-rate guarantee, which in some cases is valued separately using the general approach.
  • Life insurance contracts with indirect or discretionary participation features, which include:
  • Endowment life insurance contracts or whole life insurance contracts with guaranteed sums assured and participation features. The cash flows of these insurance contracts depend on the performance of the life insurance portfolio and/or the returns on the underlying items, where the underlying items are not specified in the insurance contract. The Group measures these contracts using the modified general approach.
  • Investment contracts with discretionary participation features:
  • These contracts entitle the policyholder to additional amounts based on the performance of the underlying items. These amounts are at the discretion of the Group and are expected to represent a significant proportion of the distributions. Such contracts are measured using the modified general approach.
  • Immediate annuities in accordance with ZPIZ-2, which include:
    • annuities with a guaranteed interest rate and, in some cases, a guaranteed annuity payout period, measured using the modified general approach.
  • Non-life insurance contracts, which include:
  • motor, property, miscellaneous financial loss, liability, marine and aircraft, goods in transit, credit, suretyship, accident and supplementary health insurance, with multi-year accident, credit, suretyship, construction and erection contracts of EU-based companies measured using the general approach and all other contracts measured using the premium allocation approach.
  • Reinsurance contracts issued, including:
    • quota share, surplus, excess of loss and stop loss reinsurance covers. Reinsurance contracts issued are primarily measured using the general approach, and partly the premium allocation approach.

The Group and the Company also have reinsurance contracts that transfer the assumed risks to reinsurers with the aim of reducing risk. These include quota share, surplus, excess of loss and stop loss reinsurance covers. These contracts are measured using the general approach for reinsurance contracts.

16.4.21.2 Classification of insurance contracts

The Group and the Company apply IFRS 17 to:

  • insurance contracts issued, including reinsurance contracts issued,
  • reinsurance contracts held by the Group and the Company, and
  • investment contracts with discretionary participation features.

All references in IFRS 17 to insurance contracts issued also apply to reinsurance contracts issued, to insurance contracts acquired by the Group and the Company in a transfer of insurance contracts or a business combination, and to reinsurance contracts held by the Group and the Company (unless it is specifically stated that a particular section applies only to (re)insurance contracts issued).

A contract is deemed an insurance contract if the issuer accepts significant insurance risk from another party by agreeing to compensate the other party if it is adversely affected by a specified uncertain future event (an insured event).

A contract that transfers significant insurance risk from the Group or the Company to a reinsurance company is a reinsurance contract held by the Group or the Company.

In the following, the Company's and the Group's inward reinsurance contracts are referred to as insurance contracts and the outward reinsurance contracts are referred to as reinsurance contracts. They are presented in the same way in the financial statements.

The Group also issues insurance contracts with direct participation features for which, at the inception of cover:

  • the contractual terms specify that the policyholder participates in a share of a clearly identified pool of underlying items;
  • the Group expects to pay to the policyholder an amount equal to a substantial share of the fair value returns on the underlying items;
  • The Group expects a substantial proportion of any change in the amounts to be paid to the policyholder to vary with the change in the fair value of the underlying items.

An investment contract with discretionary participation features is a financial instrument that provides a particular investor with the contractual right to receive, as a supplement to an amount not subject to the discretion of a Group company, additional amounts:

  • that are expected to be a significant portion of the total contractual benefits;
  • the timing or amount of which are contractually at the discretion of the issuer; and
  • that are contractually based on:
  • the returns on a specified pool of contracts or a specified type of contract;
  • realised and/or unrealised investment returns on a specified pool of assets held by a Group company; or
  • the profit or loss of the Group company issuing the contract.

Insurance risk is significant if, and only if, the insured event could cause the issuer having to pay additional amounts that are significant in any single scenario, excluding scenarios that have no commercial substance (i.e., no discernible effect on the economics of the transaction), even if the insured event is extremely unlikely or if the expected (i.e., probability-weighted) present value of the contingent cash flows is a small proportion of the expected present value of the remaining cash flows from the insurance contract. Underwriting risk is considered significant to the Group and the Company if the Group and the Company bear at least 5% of the additional payouts in the event of an insured event.

The assessment of whether the above conditions and criteria are met for an insurance contract, an insurance contract with direct participation features or an investment contract with discretionary participation features is made on a contract by contract basis at the time the contract is concluded. In doing so, the Group and the Company take into account all their substantive rights and obligations under the contract.

16.4.21.3 Combination of contracts and distinct elements of a contract

A set or series of insurance contracts with the same or a related counterparty may achieve, or be designed to achieve, a common commercial effect. In order to report the substance of such contracts, it may be necessary to treat the set or series of contracts as a whole. For example, if the rights or obligations in one contract do nothing other than entirely negate the rights or obligations in another contract entered into at the same time with the same counterparty, the combined effect is that no rights or obligations exist. The Group and the Company have identified some contracts that should be measured together.

An insurance contract may contain, in addition to the insurance component, one or more components that would be within the scope of another standard if they were separate contracts. These components include:

  • an investment component,
  • a service component,
  • embedded derivatives.

The Group and the Company separate the above components from a host insurance contract if they are distinct from the contract, applying the relevant other IF-RSs to the measurement of the separate component.

-

-

The Group and the Company have not identified any identifiable derivatives, investment components or service components.

An investment component exists if an insurance contract requires the Group or the Company to repay an amount to a policyholder in all circumstances, regardless of whether an insured event occurs.

An investment component is distinct from a host insurance contract if, and only if, both of the following conditions are met:

  • the investment component and the insurance component are not highly interrelated;
  • a contract with similar terms and conditions is or could be sold separately in the same market or jurisdiction by the Group or the Company issuing the insurance contract or by third parties. In making this determination, the Company and the Group take into account all information reasonably available in making this determination.

An investment component and an insurance component are highly interrelated if, and only if:

  • the company is unable to measure one component without considering the other. If the value of one component varies with the value of the other, the Group and the Company apply IFRS 17 to account for the combined investment and insurance component; or
  • the policyholder is unable to benefit from one component unless the other is also present. If the lapse

or maturity of one component in a contract causes the lapse or maturity of the other, the Company applies IFRS 17 to account for the combined investment component and insurance component.

The Group and the Company issue contracts with an investment component. Examples include certain life insurance policies that pay a surrender value, annuities with a guaranteed payout period and reinsurance contracts with a sliding-scale or profit commission. The investment and insurance components of such contracts are closely related because the Group and the Company cannot measure the insurance contract without considering the investment component and vice versa. Therefore the investment component is not distinct.

The service component refers to the transfer of goods or services that are not insurance-related and, as such, are not dependent on the occurrence of an insured peril (occurrence of a claim). A service component is distinct if the policyholder can benefit from the good or service either on its own or together with other resources readily available (sold separately or already owned by the policyholder).

A good or service other than an insurance contract service that is promised to the policyholder is not distinct if:

• the cash flows and risks associated with the good or service are highly interrelated with the cash flows and risks associated with the insurance components in the contract; and

• the entity provides a significant service in integrating the good or service with the insurance components.

The Group issues contracts that include derivatives, but these instruments are closely related to the host insurance contract and are therefore measured using IFRS 17. Examples of such derivatives include:

  • life insurance contracts with a guaranteed minimum return in the event of the insured's death: These contracts have an option for payment of a guaranteed amount to the policyholder in the event of the insured's death. As the payment of the guaranteed amount is contingent on an insured event (death) and represents a loss to the contract holder, the guarantee itself meets the definition of an insurance contract. The payment of the guaranteed amount is therefore not distinct and the entire contract is measured using IFRS 17.
    • Savings-linked life insurance contracts include a surrender option, where the policyholder is paid a fixed surrender value set at the time the contract is made. This option is closely related to the host insurance contract because the insurance cover ceases on surrender and therefore the contract as a whole is measured using IFRS 17.
    • Some direct participation contracts contain an option where the surrender value varies with changes in the underlying items, but the value of the option is closely related to the value of the insurance contract and therefore the whole contract is measured using IFRS 17.

The Group and the Company also consider whether a single insurance contract should be split into multiple insurance components to be treated as separate contracts to reflect the substance of the transaction. In determining whether the components of an insurance contract should be recognised and measured sep-

arately, the Group and the Company consider whether there is interdependence between the different risks covered, whether the components of an insurance contract extinguish independently of each other and whether the components can be priced and sold separately.

When the Group and the Company enter into one legal contract with different insurance components that operate independently of each other, the insurance components are recognised and measured separately using IFRS 17. The Group has identified non-life insurance contracts where the insurance components are distinguishable by homogeneous risk groups if they meet the conditions for distinguishing the components of insurance contracts. The Group has also identified life insurance contracts where the insurance components may be separated according to different insurance and economic risks if the insurance contract as a whole does not present the economic impact in a credible way.

16.4.21.4 Level of aggregation of insurance contracts

Portfolios of insurance contracts comprise contracts subject to similar risks and managed together. Contracts within the same product line, as defined for management purposes, are expected to be subject to similar risks and are therefore grouped together in a single portfolio. Where contracts are issued by different Group companies, they are managed separately by each company and are therefore grouped into different portfolios. If the Group and the Company consider that the legal form of insurance contracts does not reflect their economic substance, homogeneous groups of risks arising from those insurance contracts are considered in the construction of portfolios.

Individual portfolios are divided into groups of insurance contracts according to their profitability and the year in which the contract was written. Contracts issued more than one year apart should not be included in the same group of insurance contracts.

Portfolios are categorised by profitability as:

  • a group of contracts that are onerous upon initial recognition (unprofitable);
  • a group of contracts that, on initial recognition, are highly unlikely to become onerous subsequently, if any; and
  • a group of the remaining contracts, if any.

The determination of whether a contract or group of contracts is onerous is based on expectations at the date of initial recognition. The Group determines the appropriate level at which reasonable and supportable information is available to assess whether contracts are onerous at initial recognition and whether it is probable that contracts that are not onerous at initial recognition will become onerous subsequently. In the absence of such information, the Group assesses each contract individually.

Insurance contracts are classified into groups of insurance contracts on initial recognition and are not subsequently reassessed.

Reinsurance contracts are divided into segments in the same way as insurance contracts, except that a reinsurance contract cannot be unprofitable (in which case there is a net gain or net loss on initial recognition). In identifying groups of reinsurance contracts, the Group and the Company apply the rule that each reinsurance contract issued or held is a separate portfolio because of the different characteristics of the individual reinsurance contracts.

For contracts that are measured using the premium allocation approach (PAA), the Group and the Company determine that the contracts are not onerous unless facts and circumstances indicate otherwise. If the facts and circumstances indicate that certain contracts are onerous on initial recognition, the Group performs a quantitative assessment. If the assessment indicates that such contracts are onerous, the Group classifies such contracts as onerous and increases the liability for remaining coverage by the amount of the identified loss, which is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

All IFRS 17 measurements are made at the level of groups of insurance contracts.

16.4.21.5 Initial recognition

Insurance contracts

The Group recognises a group of insurance contracts it issues from the earliest of the following:

  • the beginning of the coverage period of the group of contracts;
  • the date when the first payment from a policyholder in the group becomes due; and
  • for a group of onerous contracts, when the group becomes onerous.

A group of insurance contracts is recognised upon recognition of the first contract that is part of the group. An insurance contract is included in a group of insurance contracts based on portfolio, annual cohort and profitability when it meets the recognition criteria in paragraph 1 of this section.

Reinsurance contracts

Reinsurance contracts held by the Group and the Company are recognised on the earlier of the following dates:

  • the beginning of the coverage period of a group of reinsurance contracts held by the Group or the Company; and
  • the date on which the underlying group of onerous insurance contracts is recognised if, on or before that date, a related reinsurance contract from the

group of reinsurance contracts held by the Group and the Company has been entered into.

Notwithstanding the above provision, the recognition is delayed for a reinsurance contract that provides proportionate coverage until the date on which any underlying insurance contract is initially recognised if that date is later than the beginning of the coverage period

of the reinsurance contract. Insurance and reinsurance contracts acquired in a transfer of contracts or a business combination are recognised on the date of the transaction.

16.4.21.6 Contract boundary A group of insurance contracts is measured by including all future cash flows that are within the boundary of the insurance contracts in the group.

In determining which cash flows are within the contractual boundary, the Group and the Company consider the substantive rights and obligations arising under the insurance contracts, laws and regulations.

Cash flows are within the boundary of an insurance contract if they arise from substantive rights and obligations that exist during the reporting period in which the Group or the company can compel the policyholder to pay the premiums or in which the Group or the Company have a substantive obligation to provide services to the policyholder under the insurance contract.

are
able

Cash flows are within the boundary of a reinsurance contract if the contract holder can require the reinsurer to provide cover and other services or if there is a material obligation on the contract holder to pay a reinsurance premium to the reinsurer.

Liabilities or assets that are outside the boundary of recognised insurance contracts and relate to future contracts are shown separately in the statement of financial position.

In estimating the expected future cash flows, the Group and the Company use their judgement about the future behaviour of policyholders in exercising the options available to them, including the potential for surrender values to be paid.

The Group and the Company assess the contractual boundary at initial recognition and at each subsequent reporting date to incorporate the effect of changes in circumstances on the substantive rights and obligations.

16.4.21.7 Measurement of (re)insurance contracts issued

All IFRS 17 measurements are made at the level of groups of insurance contracts.

The basic method of measuring insurance and reinsurance contracts under IFRS 17 is the general measurement model or building block approach (BBA). The standard also permits the use of a simplified measurement approach in some cases called the premium allocation approach (PAA). The standard requires the mandatory use of the variable fee approach (VFA) in the case of a group of insurance contracts with direct participation features and when the application criteria specified in the standard are met. Reinsurance contracts cannot be valued using the variable fee approach. The Group companies use all of the above approaches to value insurance and reinsurance contracts. The Company uses the general measurement model and, to a lesser extent, the premium allocation approach.

A description of the different measurement approaches is given in the following.

16.4.21.7.1 Measurement of insurance and reinsurance contracts issued using the BBA and VFA approaches

16.4.21.7.1.1 Initial measurement by BBA and VFA On initial recognition, a group of insurance contracts is measured as the sum of:

  • fulfilment cash flows, which comprise:
  • estimates of future cash flows,
  • an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows,
  • a risk adjustment for non-financial risk (RA),
  • the contractual service margin (CSM).

Estimates of future cash flows Estimates of expected cash flows represent an explicit, unbiased and probability-weighted estimate of future cash flows adjusted for the time value of money and associated financial risks. They include cash flows attributable to the fulfilment of existing insurance contracts and also expectations about the future behaviour of the insured persons. Estimates of future cash flows reflect conditions existing at the measurement date, including assumptions at that date about the future. Estimates of future cash flows are primarily determined using deterministic forecasting models, with stochastic techniques used additionally to model future cash flows for certain groups of contracts. The estimates of future cash flows are used to determine the expected value, or probability-weighted mean of the full range of possible outcomes, considering all reasonable and supportable information available at the reporting date. Potential

impacts related to sustainability and climate change are also appropriately considered when estimating future cash flows.

Cash flows within the insurance contract boundary are those that relate directly to the fulfilment of the contract, including cash flows for which the entity has discretion over the amount or timing.

Cash flows within the contract boundary of an insurance contract include:

  • premiums and any additional cash flows arising from those premiums,
  • claims incurred but not yet settled, whether reported or not, including expected recoveries (subrogation recoveries) and bonuses and commissions paid by the Group or the Company (e.g., no-claim bonuses, sliding-scale commissions and profit commissions),
  • payments to (or on behalf of) a policyholder arising from derivatives, such as options and guarantees embedded in the contract, to the extent that such options and guarantees are not separated from the insurance contract,
  • directly attributable costs, including:
    • an allocation of insurance acquisition cash flows attributable to the portfolio,
    • policy administration and maintenance costs,
  • claim handling costs,
  • an allocation of fixed and variable overheads,
  • other costs directly chargeable to the policyholder,
  • transaction-based taxes that arise directly from existing insurance contracts.

For contracts with investment activities or direct participation contracts, cash flows also include:

  • payments to (or on behalf of) a policyholder that vary depending on returns on underlying items,
  • costs incurred for:
    • performing investment activity, to the extent the Group performs that activity to enhance benefits from insurance coverage for policyholders,
    • providing investment-return service to policyholders of insurance contracts without direct participation features;
    • providing investment-related service to policyholders of insurance contracts with direct participation features.

Cash flows within the contract boundary include both fixed and variable administrative expenses that are directly attributable to the fulfilment of insurance contracts. Expenses that cannot be directly allocated to an insurance policy are allocated to groups of insurance contracts using methods that are systematic, rational and consistently applied to all expenses that have similar characteristics. Expenses that are not attributable to or not strictly necessary for the fulfilment of insurance contracts are directly recognised in the income statement outside the insurance service result when incurred.

Adjustment to reflect the time value of money and financial risks – discount rates

Estimates of expected cash flows are adjusted for the time value of money and the financial risk associated with those cash flows, using a risk-free interest rate curve plus a liquidity premium to discount future cash flows.

Appropriate discount rates are calculated using the bottom-up approach. A risk-free interest rate in the form of a swap curve plus a liquidity premium is used as the discount rate in estimating future cash flows. The liquidity premium is determined on the basis of yield data for AAA-rated covered bonds and a multiple of the liquidity premium. The multiple of the liquidity premium is determined by taking into account the characteristics of the groups of insurance contracts. Cash flows that vary based on the returns on the contractually defined set of assets are discounted using risk-neutral measurement techniques. Discount interest rates are set at each balance sheet date.

The Company and the Group have chosen to disaggregate finance income and expenses from insurance and reinsurance contracts between the income statement and the statement of other comprehensive income.

Risk adjustment for non-financial risk

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is the compensation the Group and the Company require for bearing the uncertainty related to the amount and timing of the cash flows that arise from non-financial risk as they fulfil the contractual agreements. The risks covered by the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are insurance risk (including climate change risk) and other non-financial risks such as lapse risk and expense risk.

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk is thus the compensation that the Group and the Company would require to make them indifferent between:

  • fulfilling a liability that has a range of possible outcomes arising from non-financial risk, and
  • fulfilling a liability that will generate fixed cash flows with the same expected present value as the insurance contracts.

The Group and the Company assess the risk adjustment for non-financial risk using the confidence level technique (VaR and TVaR) to determine the maximum possible loss at a given confidence interval. The Group and the Company take into account a confidence interval of 75% to 85% for VaR and 40% for TVaR.

Changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk are fully reflected in the income statement.

Contractual service margin (CSM) The contractual service margin (CSM) represents the unearned profit arising from insurance contracts that the Group and the Company will recognise as they provide insurance services under these contracts in the future. The contractual service margin is recognised when the net present value of future cash flows is positive (inflows are expected to exceed outflows) and is determined as the excess of cash inflows over cash outflows, less an adjustment for non-financial risk. A contractual service margin is established to prevent the recognition of a profit before it is realised and is re-

leased over the life of the insurance contract. In the case of a transfer of insurance contracts or a business combination, the calculation uses the consideration received or paid at the acquisition date as a proxy for the premiums received.

Loss component

For identified future losses arising out of insurance contracts, when the net present value of future cash flows is negative (more outflows than inflows are expected), the loss is recognised in the current period. For onerous (non-profitable) groups of contracts, the loss component is shown in the liability for remaining coverage, while the loss is shown immediately in the income statement.

16.4.21.7.1.2 Subsequent measurement

The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period is the sum of:

  • the liability for remaining coverage comprising:
    • the fulfilment cash flows relating to future services allocated to a group of insurance contracts at that date;
    • the contractual service margin of a group of insurance contracts at that date; and
  • the liability for incurred claims, which includes fulfilment cash flows in respect of past services allocated to a group of insurance contracts at that date.

When calculating assets and liabilities under insurance contracts on the balance sheet date, the company uses current estimates of future cash flows, current discount rates and current estimates of the risk adjustment for non-financial risk. Changes in these components affect the following items:

Change in assumptions Impact
Changes related to future service Change in CSM
Changes related to current or
past service
Change in the insurance service
result for the financial year
The effects of the time value
of money, financial risk and
changes thereof on estimated
future cash flows
Change in finance income or
expense and change in other
comprehensive income

After initial recognition, the contractual service margin for each group of insurance contracts is remeasured on the balance sheet date.

Insurance contracts without direct participation features measured using the BBA

For insurance contracts without direct participation features, the carrying amount of the contractual service margin of a group of contracts on measurement at the reporting date equals the carrying amount at the start of the reporting period adjusted for:

  • the effect of any new contracts added to the group;
  • interest accreted on the carrying amount of the contractual service margin during the reporting period;
  • the changes in the fulfilment cash flows relating to future service, except to the extent that:
  • such increases in the fulfilment cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the contractual service margin, resulting in a loss; or - such decreases in the fulfilment cash flows are allocated to the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage;
  • the effect of any currency exchange differences on the contractual service margin; and
  • the amount recognised as insurance revenue due to the transfer of insurance contract services during the period, determined by the allocation of the contractual service margin remaining at the end of the reporting period.

The changes in fulfilment cash flows relating to future service consist of:

  • adjustments arising from premiums received in the period relating to future service, and related cash flows, such as insurance acquisition cash flows and premium-based taxes, measured at the discount rates at which the group of contracts is recognised; • changes in estimates of the present value of the future cash flows in the liability for remaining coverage (experience and assump-
  • tions), measured at specified discount rates at the time the contract is recognised;
  • differences between the investment component expected to become payable during the period and the investment component that actually becomes payable in the period,
  • differences between the policyholder loan expected to become repayable in the period and the policyholder loan that actually becomes repayable during the period, and
  • changes in the risk adjustment for non-financial risk that relate to future service.

The amount of the contractual service margin for a group of insurance contracts is recognised in profit or loss in each period to reflect the insurance contract services provided under the group of insurance contracts during that period. The amount is determined by:

  • identifying the coverage units in the group. The number of coverage units in a group is the quantity of insurance contract services provided by the contracts in the group, determined by considering for each contract the quantity of the benefits provided under a contract and its expected coverage period,
  • allocating the contractual service margin at the end of the period (before recognising any amounts in profit or loss to reflect the insurance contract services provided in the period) equally to each coverage unit provided in the current period and expected to be provided in the future,
  • recognising in profit or loss the amount allocated to coverage units provided during the period.

The present value of changes in fulfilment cash flows for the purpose of calculating the contractual service margin is measured using locked-in discount rates at the time of recognition. In some cases, these discount rates are averaged when contracts are recognised over successive reporting periods.

Insurance contracts with direct participation features measured using the VFA

Insurance contracts with direct participation features are insurance contracts that, in addition to providing insurance cover, also provide the policyholder with investment services provided by the Group.

For insurance contracts with direct participation features, the carrying amount of the contractual service margin of a group of contracts at the end of the reporting period equals the carrying amount at the beginning of the reporting period adjusted by the amounts set out below:

  • the effect of any new contracts added to the group;
  • the change in the amount of the entity's share of the fair value of the underlying items, except to the extent that:
  • the decrease in the amount of the entity's share of the fair value of the underlying items exceeds the carrying amount of the contractual service margin, giving rise to a loss; or
  • the increase in the amount of the entity's share of the fair value of the underlying items reverses the amount referred to in the previous paragraph,
  • the changes in the fulfilment cash flows relating to future service, except to the extent that:
    • such increases in the fulfilment cash flows exceed the carrying amount of the contractual service margin, resulting in a loss; or
  • such decreases in the fulfilment cash flows are allocated to the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage,
  • the effect of any currency exchange differences arising on the contractual service margin; and
  • the amount recognised as insurance revenue because of the transfer of insurance contract services in the period.

16.4.21.7.2 Measurement of insurance contracts using

the premium allocation approach (PAA) The majority of non-life business is measured using the premium allocation approach when the coverage period of a group of contracts is less than 12 months or the simplification is expected to be a reasonable approximation of the valuation results under the building block approach.

The criterion in the preceding paragraph is not met if, at the inception of a group of contracts, significant variability is expected in the fulfilment cash flows that would affect the measurement of the liability for remaining coverage during the period until a claim is incurred.

Upon initial recognition, the carrying amount of the liability for remaining coverage is:

  • the premiums, if any, received at initial recognition;
  • minus any insurance acquisition cash flows at that date, unless the entity elects to recognise the payments as an expense; and
  • plus or minus any amount arising from the derecognition of assets or liabilities at that date.

The carrying amount of the liability at the end of each subsequent reporting period is the carrying amount at the beginning of the reporting period:

  • plus the premiums received during the period;
  • minus any insurance acquisition cash flows; unless the entity chooses to recognise these payments as an expense,
  • plus any amounts relating to the amortisation of insurance acquisition cash flows recognised as an expense in the reporting period, unless the entity chooses to recognise these payments as an expense, and
  • minus the amount recognised as insurance revenue for providing coverage during that period.

If, at any time during the coverage period, facts and circumstances indicate that a group of insurance contracts is onerous, to the extent that the fulfilment cash flows exceed the carrying amount, the Group and the Company recognise a loss in profit or loss and increase the liability for remaining coverage.

If the PAA is used, the Group and the Company make no adjustments for the time value of money and the effect of financial risk, as the period between the premium due date and the provision of insurance services is expected to be no more than one year.

16.4.21.7.3 Measurement of the liability for incurred

claims Liability for incurred claims represents the expected cash flows for claims and related costs that have already been incurred and have not yet been paid. The liability for incurred claims includes claims incurred but not yet reported (IBNR) and claims reported but not yet settled (RBNS). Even when the liability for remaining coverage is measured using the PAA, the liabilities for claims incurred are valued using the general measurement approach (BBA) and the future cash flows are adjusted for the time value of money and the effect of financial risk.

16.4.21.8 Measurement of reinsurance contracts held by the Group and the Company

The valuation methods for reinsurance contracts held by the Group and the Company (referred to in this section as reinsurance contracts) are the same as for insurance contracts, using consistent assumptions in the valuation of insurance and reinsurance contracts covering those insurance contracts, to the extent possible. In this case, the future cash flows in the valuation of reinsurance contracts are increased by a cash flow representing the effect of the reinsurer default risk, including the effects of collateral and litigation losses.

The risk adjustment for non-financial risk for reinsurance contracts represents the amount of risk being transferred from the insurer to the reinsurer.

In the valuation of reinsurance contracts, the unearned profit represented by the contractual service margin is replaced by the net gain or loss on the purchase of reinsurance. The net gain or loss on the initial recognition of reinsurance contracts is measured at:

  • the fulfilment cash flows,
  • the amount derecognised at that date of any asset or liability previously recognised for cash flows related to the group of reinsurance contracts,
  • any cash flows arising from reinsurance contracts in a group of reinsurance contracts at that date,
  • income recognised in the income statement as a result of the recognition of the reinsurance loss-recovery (LR) component of the asset for remaining coverage which mitigates the creation of a loss component for the liability for remaining coverage on the gross part.

If the net cost of purchasing reinsurance coverage relates to events that occurred before the purchase of the group of reinsurance contracts, the Group and the Company recognise this cost immediately as an expense in profit or loss.

The contractual service margin at the end of each reporting period for a group of reinsurance contracts is determined as the contractual service margin at the beginning of the reporting period, adjusted for:

  • the effect of any new reinsurance contracts added to the group of reinsurance contracts,
  • accrued interest on the amount of the CSM,
  • income recognised in the income statement as a result of the recognition of the reinsurance loss-recovery (LR) component of the asset for remaining coverage,
  • any reversals of the loss-recovery component to the extent that those reversals are not part of the change in fulfilment cash flows of a group of reinsurance contracts,
  • changes in fulfilment cash flows for the remaining coverage, unless the change relates to a change in cash flows that do not change the CSM of the insurance contracts or, in the case of the PAA on direct business, affect the creation of a loss component of the liability for remaining coverage,
  • the effect of foreign exchange differences on the CSM,
  • the amount recognised in profit or loss because of services received in the period, determined by the allocation of the contractual service margin remaining at the end of the reporting period (before any

allocation) over the current and remaining coverage period of the group of reinsurance contracts.

Changes in fulfilment cash flows resulting from changes in the reinsurer's default risk are unrelated to future service and consequently do not adjust the CSM.

The Group and the Company adjust the contractual service margin of a group of reinsurance contracts and, consequently, recognise revenue when they recognise an onerous group of insurance contracts underlying the reinsurance contracts or when they add onerous insurance contracts underlying the reinsurance contracts to the group (this is the so-called loss-recovery component of an asset for remaining coverage of a group of reinsurance contracts). This adjustment is made only if the reinsurance contract has already been written at the time the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage on the onerous insurance contracts is recognised.

The amount of this adjustment is equal to the product of the recognised loss on the gross business and the share of the claims covered by that reinsurance contract on the insurance contracts from which that loss arises.

The Group and the Company establish (or adjust) a loss-recovery component of the asset for remaining coverage for a group of reinsurance contracts depicting the recovery of losses recognised in accordance with the above paragraphs. The loss-recovery component determines the amounts that are recognised in profit or loss as reversals of recoveries of losses from reinsurance contracts and are consequently excluded from the premiums paid to the reinsurer.

The loss-recovery component is adjusted to reflect changes in the loss component of an onerous group of underlying insurance contracts. The carrying amount of the loss-recovery component must not exceed the portion of the carrying amount of the loss component of the onerous group of underlying insurance contracts that the Company expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts. The PAA approach may also be used to measure rein-

surance contracts if:

  • the Company reasonably expects that such simplification would result in a measurement of the liability for remaining coverage for the group of reinsurance contracts that is not materially different from the measurement under the BBA approach, or
  • the coverage period of each contract in the group of reinsurance contracts is one year or less.

The criterion in the first bullet point above is not met if, at the inception of a group of reinsurance contracts, the Group and the Company expect significant variability in the fulfilment cash flows that would affect the measurement of the liability for remaining coverage during the period before a claim is incurred.

If the PAA approach is used, the carrying amount of the asset is adjusted for the remaining coverage in the event that a loss recovery component is created.

16.4.21.9 Presentation of insurance and reinsurance contracts

Insurance revenue comprises the provision of services, during the reporting period, arising from a group of insurance contracts, specifically for an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group and the Company expect to be entitled in exchange for the services provided. Insurance service expenses represent incurred claims, expenses and other expenses related to insurance services incurred in the reporting period. Neither insurance revenue nor insurance service expenses include an investment component.

The total amount of insurance revenue for each group of insurance contracts is equal to the premiums paid, adjusted for a financing effect and excluding any investment components.

The allocation of insurance revenue by period is determined by the amount of insurance services provided during the reporting period, which includes:

  • the expected insurance service expenses for each reporting period, net of any adjustment for non-financial risk and amounts allocated to the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage;
  • the risk adjustment for non-financial risk, excluding any amounts allocated to the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage;
  • the contractual service margin;
  • amounts related to income tax that are specifically chargeable to the policyholder;
  • amounts related to policy acquisition costs.

When the Group and the Company provide insurance services during a period, they reduce the liability for the remaining coverage and recognise insurance revenue during the period. The reduction in the liability for remaining coverage does not include changes that are not related to the provision of insurance services, such as:

  • changes resulting from cash inflows from premiums received;
  • changes that relate to investment components in the period,
  • amounts relating to transaction-based taxes collected on behalf of third parties;
  • finance income or expenses from insurance contracts,
  • acquisition costs,
  • derecognition of liabilities transferred to a third party;
  • changes in the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage.

Consequently, insurance revenue for the period can also be analysed as the sum total of the changes in the liability for remaining coverage during the period that relates to services for which the Group and the Company expect to receive consideration. Those changes are:

• insurance service expenses incurred during the period (measured at the amounts expected at the beginning of the period), excluding:

-
amounts allocated to the loss component of the
liability for remaining coverage;
-
repayments of investment components,
-
amounts relating to transaction-based taxes col
lected on behalf of third parties (such as premium
taxes, value added taxes and goods and services
taxes);
-
policy acquisition expenses; and
-
the amount related to the risk adjustment for
non-financial risk;

the change in the risk adjustment for non-financial
risk, excluding:
-
changes included in finance income or expenses
from insurance contracts;
-
changes that adjust the contractual service mar
gin because they relate to future service; and
-
amounts allocated to the loss component of the
liability for remaining coverage;

the amount of the contractual service margin recog
nised in profit or loss;

other amounts, if any, for example, experience ad
justments for premium receipts other than those
that relate to future service.
Insurance revenue related to insurance acquisition cash
flows are determined by allocating the portion of the
premiums that relate to recovering those cash flows to
each reporting period in a systematic way on the basis
of the passage of time. The same amount is recognised
as insurance service expenses.

If the simplified premium allocation approach (PAA) is used to measure liabilities for future coverage, the insurance revenue is the amount of the expected premiums, excluding any investment component relating to the reporting period. Premiums are allocated by period evenly over the duration of the cover or, in the case of unevenly spread risk, over the expected period of incurrence of the insurance service expense (decrease in the amount of insurance cover for credit insurance, increase in the amount of insurance cover for construc-

tion and erection insurance and reinsurance contracts).

Finance income or expenses from insurance and reinsurance contracts comprise:

  • the effect of the time value of money and changes in the time value of money; and
  • the effect of financial risk and changes in financial risk.

For all its groups of insurance contracts without direct participation features, the companies allocate finance income and expense between profit or loss and the statement of other comprehensive income (OCI). The companies include in profit or loss an amount determined by a systematic allocation of the expected total finance income or expenses from insurance contracts over the duration of the group of insurance contracts. A systematic allocation is an allocation of the total expected finance income or expenses of a group of insurance contracts over the duration of the group that:

  • is based on characteristics of the contracts, without reference to factors that do not affect the cash flows expected to arise under the contracts,
  • results in the amounts recognised in other comprehensive income over the duration of the group of contracts totalling zero. The cumulative amount recognised in other comprehensive income at any date is the difference between the carrying amount of the group of contracts and the amount that the group would be measured at when applying the systematic allocation.

For groups of insurance contracts without direct participation features for which changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk do not have a substantial effect on the amounts paid to the policyholder, the systematic allocation is determined using the discount rates at the date of initial recognition of the group of insurance contracts, or at the date of loss in the case of the PAA approach.

For groups of insurance contracts without direct participation features for which changes in assumptions that relate to financial risk have a substantial effect on the amounts paid to the policyholders:

• a systematic allocation for the finance income or expenses arising from the estimates of future cash flows is determined by using a rate that allocates the remaining diluted expected financial income or expense over the remaining term of the group of contracts at constant rates;

  • a systematic allocation for the finance income or expenses arising from the risk adjustment for non-financial risk, is determined using an allocation consistent with that used for the allocation for the finance income or expenses arising from the future cash flows;
  • a systematic allocation for the finance income or expenses arising from the contractual service margin is determined:
    • for insurance contracts without direct participation features, using discount rates determined at the date of initial recognition of the group of insurance contracts; and
    • for insurance contracts with direct participation features, using an allocation consistent with that used for the allocation for the finance income or expenses arising from the future cash flows.

For groups of insurance contracts with direct participation features for which the company holds the underlying items, the company disaggregates insurance finance income or expenses between the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period to include in profit or loss an amount that eliminates accounting mismatches with income or expenses included in profit or loss on the underlying items held (the financial expenses or income from insurance contracts included in profit or loss exactly matches the income or expense included in profit or loss for the underlying items, resulting in the net of the separately

presented items being nil). The company includes in other comprehensive income the difference between the finance income or expenses from insurance contracts measured on the basis set out above and the total insurance finance income or expenses for the period.

16.4.22 Other provisions

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 payouts also include tax liabilities where payments exceed statutory non-taxable amounts.

-

-

-

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.

16.4.23 Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities mainly include unpaid dividends payable from previous years and current interest and loan liabilities.

16.4.24 Current tax liabilities

Current tax liabilities are recognised at the amount of the current tax liability for the financial year not yet paid.

16.4.25 Other liabilities

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.

Other liabilities include amounts due to employees and suppliers and other current liabilities (accrued expenses).

16.4.26 Investment income and expenses

The Company discloses investment income and expenses by type of income and expense:

  • income from dividends and participating interests,
  • interest income and expenses,
  • income or expenses from financial investments measured at FVTPL,
  • gains and losses arising from the derecognition of financial investments measured at FVOCI,
  • exchange differences arising on financial investments, and
  • other finance income and expenses (including income and expenses from investment property).

16.4.27 Other operating income and expenses

Other operating income includes income:

  • from foreign exchange gains, excluding foreign exchange gains on (re)insurance contracts and investment transactions,
  • from the sale of fixed assets,
  • from the sale of green cards (international motor insurance certificates),
  • from claims settled on behalf of other Group companies,
  • from sales by non-insurance companies (including asset management, such as entry and exit fee income),
  • from other services.

This income is recognised in the income statement at the time services are completed or invoices issued.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group and Company are expected to be entitled under their contracts with customers. Amounts collected on behalf of third parties are excluded.

Revenue is recognised when the customer has taken control of the goods or has received the benefits from the services rendered. Sales revenue does not include any charges paid upon purchase or sale. It is included in "other income" in the income statement and relates either to the pensions and asset management or the "other" operating segments. This revenue is not multi-year in nature, is recognised on an accrual basis in the financial year and presented under note 16.8.40.

Other operating expenses include:

  • allowances for other receivables,
  • impairment losses on property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
  • non-attributable expenses and
  • other expenses.

Other expenses are recognised in the income statement at the time the service is rendered.

16.4.28 Income tax expense

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; deferred tax for these items is also presented in equity. 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.

16.4.29 Information about reportable operating segments

Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments were formed through the aggregation of operations of companies that generate revenue and expenses, including revenue and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks, and the circumstances in which companies operate).

The operating segments are reinsurance (reinsurance business), non-life (non-life insurance business, broken down into EU and non-EU), life (life insurance business, broken down into EU and non-EU), pensions and asset management (pension insurance business in Slovenia and North Macedonia, and fund management) and the "other" segment (assistance services associated with motor, homeowners and health insurance business). In the following, more detail is provided on how the companies are included in operating segments.

The performance of these segments is monitored using a variety of indicators, with IFRS net profit being a common performance indicator for all segments. The management board monitors performance by segment to the level of insurance and reinsurance service results, net investment income and aggregated business results, amounts of assets, equity and insurance and

reinsurance contract liabilities on a quarterly basis.

The operations of the Sava Insurance Group are organised into the following operating segments: reinsurance, non-life (insurance), life (insurance), pensions and asset management, and the "other" segment. The non-life and life segments are further subdivided geographically into EU and non-EU.

The following companies are included in the individual operating segments:

  • reinsurance: Sava Re (non-Group business);
  • non-life, EU: Zavarovalnica Sava (the Slovenian and Croatian part of non-life insurance business), Vita (non-life insurance business);
  • non-life, non-EU: Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (SRB), Illyria (RKS), Sava Osiguranje (MNE), Sava Osiguruvanje (MKD), Sava Car (MNE), Sava Agent (MNE), Sava Station (MKD), Sava Car (SRB);
  • life, EU: Zavarovalnica Sava (the Slovenian and Croatian part of life insurance business), Vita (life insurance business), ZS Svetovanje (SVN), ASISTIM (SVN);
  • life, non-EU: Sava Životno Osiguranje (SRB), Illyria Life (RKS);
  • pensions and asset management: Sava Pokojninska (SVN), Sava Penzisko Društvo (MKD), Sava Infond (SVN);
  • other: TBS Team 24 (SVN), ASP (SRB) and Vita S Holding (MKD); DCB (SVN) and G2I (GBR) using the equity method. This operating segment also in-

cludes expenses on subordinate debt. The company S Estate was sold on 1 March 2022 and G2I (GBR) in mid-2023. Since then, they are no longer included in the consolidated statements.

The following reallocations were made in the consolidated income statement:

  • The effects of reinsurance (retrocessions) relating to business with subsidiaries (Sava Re, as the parent company, reinsures the major part of the subsidiaries' business) are transferred from the reinsurance segment to other operating segments. In the segment reporting information, income and expenses from reinsurance ceded are allocated to the segments from which they originate. The same applies to finance expenses and recoveries from reinsurance contracts.
  • Operating expenses of the reinsurance segment are reduced by the portion of expenses attributable to the administration of the Sava Insurance Group. Sava Re operates as a virtual holding company; hence, a part of its expenses relates to the administration of the Group. Such expenses relating to the reinsurance segment are allocated to other segments based on each subsidiary's revenue. Operating expenses associated with reinsurance business within the Group are also reallocated to other segments. In this way, 75.6% of operating expenses were allocated to the segments in 2023 (2022: 74.7%). In addition, there were reallocations of op-

erating expenses of the company TBS Team 24 (SVN) associated with the companies conducting business in the Slovenian or international non-life segments from the "other" segment to these two segments.

  • Investment income and expenses are reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life insurance and life insurance segments using the key for the allocation of liabilities for incurred claims and liabilities for remaining coverage.
  • Subordinated debt expenses are shown under the "other" segment.
  • The proceeds from the sale of S Estate (RKS) and G2I have been included in the "other" segment.

16.5 Standards and interpretations issued but not yet effective, and new standards and interpretations

The accounting policies adopted by the Group and the Company 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 2023. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 is described in section 16.6 "Transition to the new standards IFRS 17 and IFRS 9".

New and amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are effective for the current year

In the current year, the Group and the Company have applied a number of amendments to IFRS Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU that are mandatorily effective for reporting period that begins on or after 1 January 2023. The adoption of these amendments has not had any material impact to the financial statements of the Group or the Company, except for the impact of the new standard IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts". For more information on the impact of this standard on the performance of the Group and the Company, refer to section 16.6 "Transition to the new standards IFRS 17 and IFRS 9".

New standard IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts", including the June 2020 and December 2021 amendments to IFRS 17

  • IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" issued by IASB on 18 May 2017. The new standard requires insurance liabilities to be measured at a current fulfilment value and provides a more uniform measurement and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are designed to achieve the goal of a consistent, principle-based accounting for insurance contracts. IFRS 17 supersedes IFRS 4 "Insurance Contracts" and related interpretations while applied. Amendments to IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" issued by IASB on 25 June 2020 defer the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years to annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Additionally, the amendments issued on 25 June 2020 introduce simplifications and clarifications of some requirements in the Standard and provide additional reliefs when applying IFRS 17 for the first time.
  • Amendments to IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts" Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information issued by IASB on 9 December 2021. It is a narrow-scope amendment to the transition requirements of IFRS 17 for entities that first apply IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 at the same time.

Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" – Disclosure of Accounting Policies

Disclosure of Accounting Policies issued by IASB on 12 February 2021. The amendments require entities to disclose their material information on accounting policies rather than their significant accounting policies. They provide guidance and examples to help preparers decide which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements.

Amendments to IAS 8 – Definition of Accounting Estimates

Definition of Accounting Estimates issued by IASB on 12 February 2021. The amendments focus on accounting estimates and provide guidance on how to distinguish between accounting policies and accounting estimates.

Amendments to IAS 12 – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes" – Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction issued by IASB on 6 May 2021. According to amendments, the initial recognition exemption does not apply to transactions in which both deductible and taxable temporary differences arise on initial recognition that result in the recognition of equal deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Amendments to IAS 12 – International Tax Reform — Pillar Two Model Rules

Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes" – International Tax Reform — Pillar Two Model Rules issued by IASB on 23 May 2023. The amendments introduced a temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from jurisdictions implementing the global tax rules and disclosure requirements about company's exposure to income taxes arising from the reform, particularly before legislation implementing the rules is in effect.

The exception in the amendments to IAS 12 for an entity not to recognise and disclose information about deferred tax assets and liabilities under the IASB's Pillar 2 relating to income taxes applies immediately after the amendments are issued and retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8. The remaining disclosure requirements apply for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.

At Group level, a task force has been set up in 2023 to implement the new tax legislation120. The task force has been set up to study the changes and will be responsible for their implementation. As the legislation introduces significant changes, we estimate that it will have an impact on the Group's operations, but it is not yet possible to quantify the impact on individual items in the financial statements.

New and revised IFRS Accounting Standards in issue and adopted by the EU but not yet effective

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the Group and the Company have not applied the following revised IFRS Accounting Standards that have been issued by IASB and adopted by EU but are not yet effective:

Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback

Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024). Amendments to IFRS 16 require a seller-lessee to subsequently measure lease liabilities arising from a leaseback in a way that it does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. The new requirements do not prevent a seller-lessee from recognising in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of a lease.

At present, IFRSs as adopted by the EU do not significantly differ from regulations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) except for the following new standards and amendments to the existing standards, which were not adopted by the EU as at the date of this report:

Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements"

New standards and amendments to the existing standards issued by the IASB but not yet adopted by the EU Amendments to IAS 21 "The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates"

Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current with Covenants (effective date determined by IASB: 1 January 2024). The amendments clarify how conditions with which an entity must comply within 12 months after the reporting period affect the classification of a liability.

Amendments to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows" and IFRS 7 "Financial Instruments: notes

Supplier Finance Arrangements issued by IASB on 25 May 2023 (effective date determined by IASB: 1 January 2024). Amendments add disclosure requirements and "signposts" within existing disclosure requirements to provide qualitative and quantitative information about supplier finance arrangements.

Lack of Exchangeability issued by IASB on 15 August 2023 (effective date determined by IASB: 1 January 2025). Amendments contain guidance to specify when a currency is exchangeable and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not.

IFRS 14 "Regulatory Deferral Accounts"

Effective for annual accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The European Commission has decided not to launch the endorsement process of this interim standard and to wait for the final standard. This standard is intended to allow entities that are firsttime adopters of IFRS, and that currently recognise regulatory deferral accounts in accordance with their previous GAAP, to continue to do so upon transition to IFRS.

Amendments to IFRS 10 "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures"

Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture. The effective date has been deferred indefinitely until the research project on the equity method has been concluded. The amendments address a conflict between the requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and 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.

The Group and the Company do not expect that the adoption of the above new standards and amendments to the existing standards during the period of initial application will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Group or the Company.

Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities the principles of which have not been adopted by the EU remains unregulated.

Management assesses that the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" will not have had a significant impact the financial statements of the Group and the Company, if it had been applied at the balance sheet date.

16.6 Transition to the new standards IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts" and IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

On 25 June 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (Board) issued the final version of the accounting standard for insurance contracts IFRS 17. When IFRS 17 was finalised, the effective date was deferred by two years, from 1 January 2021 to 1 January 2023. The Board also decided to align the effective date of IFRS 9 with that of IFRS 17 for insurance companies. As a result of the deferral of the effective date of IFRS 17, the beginning of the comparative period has also been deferred by two years, from 1 January 2020 to 1 January 2022. IFRS 4 allowed the use of local accounting practices for insurance contracts in the consolidated financial statements. With IFRS 17, the Board has introduced, for the first time, common accounting guidance for insurance contracts. The Group and the Company have applied IFRS 17 for the first time for the purpose of preparing the financial statements for the 2023 financial year and the comparative information for 2022, taking into account the transitional provision in IFRS 17.C3(a).

At the same time, IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments", which supersedes IAS 39, entered into force for the Group and the Company on 1 January 2023. For IFRS 9, the date of the first application was set as 1 January 2018, but the Group and the Company exercised the option to temporarily exempt the implementation of the standard until 1 January 2023.

The Group and the Company have not preliminarily adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but has not yet entered into force.

The adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 has a significant impact on the consolidated and separate financial statements. The effect of the transition to the new standards is recognised in retained earnings. The adoption of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 has also led to significant changes in other equity items, notably the accumulated other comprehensive income, which is the fair value reserve under IAS 39.

The following illustrates the main impact of the adoption of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 by comparing the restated statement of financial position of the Group and of the Company as at 1 January 2022 with the audited statement of financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2021.

In the following, we describe the most significant changes in the statement of financial position of the Group and the Company:

  • A decrease in long-term deferred acquisition costs and insurance and reinsurance receivables and liabilities, which have been reclassified to insurance and reinsurance contract assets.
  • Technical provisions have been replaced by the items insurance and reinsurance contract assets. The valuation of insurance and reinsurance contract assets is mainly affected by:
  • a. the use of the best estimate of assumptions instead of a conservative estimate of assumptions (positive impact);
  • b. discounting all of the Group's liabilities using a risk-free interest rate plus a liquidity premium (positive effect);
  • c. recognition of expected future profits for portfolios valued using the BBA and VFA approaches in the CSM (negative effect).
  • The change in the amount of investments is due to the transition to IFRS 17, in particular to the reclassification of deposits from cedants and part of the investment contract assets, and to the change in the valuation model for equity investments.
  • Deferred taxes are accounted for and calculated based on the afore-mentioned changes.
  • Other restatements and allocations represent the correction of an incorrectly accounted deferred tax liability on the allocation of the purchase price from the 2019 acquisition of Sava Penzisko Društvo (MKD).
  • The effects of the afore-mentioned changes are reflected in the changes in Group and Company equity.

16.6.1 Transition to IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts"

The Group and the Company have performed an assessment of each group of contracts to determine the possible transitional approaches provided by the standard. As required, a fully retrospective approach has been adopted, unless this was considered impracticable for the group of contracts under consideration. In all other cases, either the modified retrospective approach or the fair value approach has been adopted instead.

Full retrospective approach

Full retrospective approach:

  • identified, recognised and measured each group of insurance contracts, as if IFRS 17 had always applied,
  • identified, recognised and measured all assets for insurance acquisition cash flows, as if IFRS 17 had always applied,
  • derecognised any existing balances that would not exist had IFRS 17 always applied and
  • recognised any resulting net difference in equity.

Contracts measured under the modified retrospective approach

The Group assessed historical information available and determined that all reasonable and supportable information necessary for applying the full retrospective approach were not available for all groups of insurance contracts issued before the transition date. The Group

The Group and the Company applied modifications in the following areas:

  • estimation of expected future cash flows and risk adjustment for non-financial risk as at the date of initial recognition,
  • determination of the CSM for direct participating contracts and other insurance contracts,
  • determination of finance income or expenses from insurance contracts,

Expected cash flows

elected to apply the modified retrospective approach for some groups of contracts, depending on the entity in the Group, its portfolios, years of initial recognition of a group of contracts and the measurement method, which was intended to achieve the closest possible outcome to the full retrospective application maximising the use of available information. according to IFRS 17 requirements from 31 December 2003 on. For incurred claims before 31 December 2003, discount rates as at 31 December 2003 were used. On the other hand, in case of business with direct participation features (VFA method) only discount rates from 31 December 2021 were used, in accordance with the requirements of the standard.

The Group and the Company estimated the cash flows at the date of initial recognition by estimating these cash flows at the date of transition, adjusted by actual cash flows that were known to have occurred between then and the date of initial recognition. These also included cash flows from contracts that had ceased to exist by the date of transition.

Discount rates

In case of business without direct participation features the Group and the Company had reasonable and supportable information to determine discount rates

Risk adjustment for non-financial risk

The Group estimated the amount of risk adjustment for non-financial risk at the date of transition. The cash flows for past risk adjustment releases were estimated by assuming that these releases are proportionate to coverage units for a given period. Specifically, past risk adjustment releases for a given period were estimated by multiplying the coverage unit for the given period with the ratio between the risk adjustment release and the expected coverage unit of the first projection period following the transition date. This has been performed on the level of a group of contracts.

Insurance acquisition cash flows

The Group and the Company allocated the insurance acquisition cash flows that occurred during the period from the initial recognition date until the transition date using a systematic and rational allocation method between groups of insurance contracts recognised until the transition date. No insurance acquisition cash flows were allocated to groups that are expected to be recognised after the transition date according to accepted methodology for IFRS 17 measurement.

CSM and loss component

For the business without direct participation features, the CSM at transition date was determined by first estimating the CSM at initial recognition and then decreasing this amount according to the share of service provided during the period until transition (i.e., in the same way as in case of the full retrospective approach).

If there was a loss component estimated at the date of initial recognition, then the Group and the Company determined the amounts allocated to the loss component before the date of transition using a systematic basis of allocation in the same way as in the case of the full retrospective approach.

In the case of VFA, the Group calculated the CSM or loss component at a transition date as a result of the total underlying items value minus present value of future cash flows minus/plus adjustments for amounts charged and paid to policyholder before transition, the release for risk adjustment for non-financial risk and insurance acquisition cash flows paid before the transition. If such amount results in CSM, it is adjusted for an amount of the contractual service margin that relates to services provided before that date. If a loss component is calculated, it is adjusted to nil and LRC excluding loss component is increased by the same amount at a transition date.

For groups of contracts, measured under PAA, a modified retrospective approach was applied, because LRC was estimated at a transition date. In case of onerous groups of contracts measured under PAA, LRC was adjusted for a loss component, estimated at a transition date.

Reinsurance contracts held

For a group of reinsurance contracts held that was purchased before or at the same time the underlying insurance contracts were issued, the Group determines the loss-recovery component of the asset for remaining coverage at the transition by multiplying the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage for the underlying insurance contracts at the transition date with the percentage of claims for the group of underlying onerous insurance contracts that the Group expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts held.

Where the Group and the Company did not have reasonable and supportable information to determine the loss-recovery component of the asset for remaining coverage, the Group and the Company did not identify such loss-recovery component.

Insurance revenue

For those groups of contracts for which coverage has expired at the transition date, there is no revenue recognised after the date of transition, except in case of experience adjustments due to subsequent payments or refunds of premiums or change in premium receivables. If there is still coverage remaining after the date of transition, revenue for such groups is recognised. For groups of contracts, other than direct participating

contracts, that were determined to be onerous at the date of transition, the loss component was estimated at the transition date.

For direct participating contracts with remaining coverage that at transition date were determined to have been onerous on initial recognition, the Group does not track any loss component. Revenue is recognised in the same way as for other non-onerous groups of contracts. Subsequent increase in the Group's share of the fair value of the underlying items will create a CSM, which would then be allocated to the period and included in the determination of the period's revenue.

Finance income or expenses from insurance contracts

The Group and the Company have elected a disaggregated presentation of finance income or expenses from insurance contracts for all portfolios. The cumulative amount recognised in OCI at the date of transition was estimated as:

  • In case of BBA, OCI was calculated in the same way as in case of full retrospective method.
  • For those direct participating contracts for which the Group holds the underlying items and are measured applying VFA, the opening cumulative amount of OCI at transition date was set to correspond to the amount of the underlying items at transition date.

• For non-life insurance and reinsurance contracts issued, accounted applying the PAA, the cumulative amount of OCI in case of LIC was calculated as a difference in LIC applying current and locked-in discount rate at the date of transition.

Accounting estimates made in interim financial statements

The Group and the Company chose the annual reporting accounting policy choice therefore interim financial statement do not influence the determination of CSM or loss component at the transition date.

Contracts measured applying the fair value approach

The Group concluded that reasonable and supportable information for application of the modified retrospective approach was not available for all insurance contracts issued before the date of transition, depending on the entity in the Group, and therefore applied the fair value approach for those contracts. Also, the Company applied the fair value approach for some reinsurance contracts issued, covering underlying contracts in the Group. The Group and the Company used reasonable and supportable information available at the transition date to:

  • identify groups of insurance contracts,
  • determine whether an insurance contract meets the definition of an insurance contract with direct participation features,
  • identify discretionary cash flows for insurance contracts without direct participation features.

Level of aggregation

The Group included contracts into groups of contracts issued within one year apart.

Measurement at the transition date

In applying the fair value approach at the transition date, the CSM or loss component of the LRC was estimated as the difference between the fair value and the fulfilment cash flows of the group of contracts as of that date. In determining fair value, the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement were followed, except for that standard's requirement in relation to demand features (that fair value cannot be less than the amount repayable on demand). This is because it would contradict the IFRS 17 requirement to incorporate cash flows on a probability-weighted basis.

Discount rates

The Group used discount rates as at the date of transition for fair value approach.

Insurance acquisition cash flows

The Group included all insurance acquisition cash flows paid before the transition in the measurement of the groups of insurance contracts recognised at the transition date, except for the contracts that already ceased before transition date. Consequently, no assets for insurance acquisition cash flows at the transition date were recognized. Additionally, it was assumed that all acquisition costs were already amortised until the transition date due to lack of reasonable and supportable information.

Finance income or expenses from insurance contracts

The Group and the Company chose to disaggregate the presentation of finance income or expenses from insurance contracts and determined the cumulative amount recognised in OCI as follows:

  • for those direct participating contracts for which the Group holds the underlying items and are measured applying VFA, the opening cumulative amount of OCI at transition date was set to correspond to the amount of the underlying items at transition date, and
  • nil for all other contracts.

Reinsurance contracts held

For a group of reinsurance contracts held the Group determines the loss-recovery component of the asset for remaining coverage at transition by multiplying the loss component of the liability for remaining coverage for the underlying insurance contracts at the transition date with the percentage of claims for the group of underlying onerous insurance contracts that the Group expects to recover from the group of reinsurance contracts held.

Where the Group and the Company did not have reasonable and supportable information to determine the loss-recovery component of the asset for remaining coverage, the Group and the Company did not identify such loss-recovery component.

Acquired insurance contracts

The Group chose to classify as a liability for incurred claims the liability for settlement of claims incurred before a group of insurance contracts was acquired in a portfolio transfer or a business combination within the scope of IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

The effect of groups of insurance contracts measured at the transition date applying the modified retrospective approach or the fair value approach on the contractual service margin and insurance revenue in subsequent periods is shown in note 16.8.10 Movement in liabilities for remaining coverage (LRC) and liabilities for incurred claims (LIC) – insurance contracts issued and note 16.8.12 Movement in individual components of insurance contracts.

16.6.2 Transition to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments"

The Group and the Company adopted IFRS 9 from 1 January 2023 and have prepared comparative financial statements for the 2022 financial year. The Group and the Company have used the "classification overlay approach" described below to prepare comparative data for 2022.

At the date of initial application, the Group and the Company:

  • assessed whether a financial asset meets the conditions for classification, considering the selected business model and contractual cash flow characteristics, based on the facts and circumstances existing at that date. The resulting classification was applied retrospectively irrespective of the entity's business model in prior reporting periods;
  • designated all financial assets that are measured at fair value through profit or loss;
  • designated investments in equity instruments as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
  • designated financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss;
  • assessed whether a financial asset is in a low credit risk category.

Such assessment or designation was made on the basis of the facts and circumstances existing at the date of initial application. That classification was applied retrospectively.

Assets measured at amortised cost in accordance with IFRS 9 are deposits with a maturity of more than three months, loans and debt securities classified as hold to collect at the date of transition to IFRS 9 that the Group and the Company will hold to maturity.

Under IAS 39, the Group and the Company classified most of their financial assets in the form of debt securities as available for sale (AFS). These financial assets have been classified in accordance with IFRS 9 into one of the following groups: at fair value through other comprehensive income or at fair value through profit or loss. Under IFRS 9, the Group and the Company may classify debt securities in the fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) measurement category provided that the contractual cash flows are solely repayment of principal and interest (pass the SPPI test).

Most of the equity instruments that were classified as available for sale (AFS) under IAS 39 are classified as at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), while there is an option to designate shares and participations at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVO-CI) under the standard. Other types of investments, such as units in collective investment undertakings, ETFs, alternative funds, etc. which were classified as available-for-sale (AFS) under IAS 39, were reclassified to the fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) measurement category.

Equity instruments classified as FVOCI

The Group has elected to designate certain equity securities to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI). These instruments are not held for trading, and at initial recognition the Group has made an irrevocable election to designate them to this category.

The cumulative gains and losses recognised in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings on disposal of such instruments.

The Group has elected to reclassify to other comprehensive income the changes in the fair value of equity securities held for the long term for strategic purposes. These investments are not expected to be sold in the short to medium term. Previously, these investments were classified as available for sale. As a result, assets with a fair value of EUR 21,374,809 were reclassified from available-for-sale financial assets to financial assets at FVOCI. As a result of the reversal of the permanent impairment of available-for-sale equity investments, EUR 735,670 of the fair value reserve was reclassified to retained earnings on 1 January 2022.

For a detailed overview of securities classified as FVO-CI, see section 16.8.7, table "Equity securities classified as FVOCI".

Strategic risks
Risks Summary of risks in 2023 Risk described in section
Insolvency risk The Group and the Company ensure an adequate level of excess capital. During 2023, the Group's capital adequacy
in accordance with the Solvency II standard formula remained within the target capital range as defined in the risk
strategy and well above regulatory requirements. Throughout 2023, Sava Re's capital adequacy was consistently
assessed to be above the optimal level of the solvency ratio as defined in the risk strategy and significantly above
regulatory requirements.
16.7.2
Underwriting risks In terms of capital requirements, the Group's most significant risks include non-life, life, and health underwriting
risks. These risks are managed appropriately and remain at similar levels to last year. In non-life insurance
business, the premium and reserve risk decreased slightly and the catastrophe risk increased slightly. The risk of
claims inflation continues to be a concern for non-life insurance business. Sava Re is mainly exposed to non-life
underwriting risks, which remained unchanged compared to 2022.
16.7.3
Financial risks The Group and the Company ensure the appropriate management of financial risks. Exposure to these risks is
actively monitored and managed, and appropriate diversification of the investment portfolio and management of
assets and liabilities is ensured. Financial risks did not increase further in 2023 compared to 2022. The investment
policy was adapted to the changed circumstances. The Group and the Company maintain a sufficient level of highly
liquid investments.
16.7.4
Operational risks The Group and the Company actively manage operational risks by continuously improving the internal control
environment and processes. Operational risks increased slightly compared to the previous year, mainly due to a
slight increase in risks related to data privacy and security and operational risks related to the adoption of the new
accounting standard IFRS 17.
16.7.5
Strategic risks Strategic risks are an important risk category for the Group and Sava Re due to the uncertain geopolitical
environment and the associated unpredictability. The risks are at a similar level compared to last year. The strategic
risks section also discusses sustainability risk and climate change risk. The Group and the Company strive to limit
the risks sufficiently and to respond and adapt effectively to changes in the environment.
16.7.6

16.7.1 Key challenges and associated risks

16.7.1.1 Geopolitical uncertainty and the macroeconomic environment

The uncertain geopolitical situation continued in 2023. The war between Russia and Ukraine continued, and later in the year the military conflict between Israel and Hamas began. The Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re reviewed their exposures at the outbreak of the military conflict and found that there were no material exposures in the region. Tensions between China and Taiwan intensified in 2023. Increasing cooperation between Russia, Iran and North Korea also poses a threat to global stability. Mounting trade restrictions on the strategic positioning of imports and exports of key minerals and rare metals could lead to high price volatility and congestion in supply chains in the future. These frictions also affect the free movement of goods and international trade. Elections will be held in no fewer than 40 countries around the world next year, and the results and changes in the ruling political parties could further influence the geopolitical situation.

From a stock market perspective, 2023 was a good year for equities and bonds, outperforming expectations. The US economy proved resilient, avoiding a recession despite high interest rate hikes and even achieving better-than-expected economic growth of 2.9% in the third quarter122. In Europe, there was no GDP growth123, while Slovenia achieved 1.6% GDP growth in 2023, and the other countries where the

Group is present had slightly higher growth124. At the same time, strong deflation was observed in 2023. In the eurozone, the US and other developed countries, inflation is falling as a result of central banks' rather restrictive monetary policies. The downturn heralds the likely end of interest rate hikes. Forecasts for 2024 currently point to a further decline in inflation. Corporate bond spreads have narrowed in 2023, and companies are expected to start refinancing and issuing new debt at lower costs in 2024. Uncertainty about economic growth in Europe is relatively high. The Group and the Company monitor potential systemic risks with a view to taking timely action. They reduce their exposure to such risks by, among other things, ensuring adequate diversification of the investment portfolio and a sufficient percentage of highly liquid assets to meet extraordinary liquidity needs. The impact of individual scenarios and events is also considered as part of the own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA). The basis for conducting the 2024 ORSA (which was reported to the regulator in March 2024) is the business plan of Sava Re and the Sava Insurance Group for 2024 confirmed in December 2023, and the financial projections for 2025 and 2026. The capital adequacy projections in the 2024 ORSA confirmed that, over the entire strategy period, the solvency poshowed that both the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re have a robust solvency ratio resilient to various adverse scenarios as the solvency remains well above the regulatory level even if a scenario materialises. 16.7.1.2 Challenges for the insurance industry Claims inflation The impacts of claims inflation were diminishing in 2023. The risk of a decline in the profitability of the non-life insurance business due to claims inflation in motor and property insurance was regularly monitored and the impact analysed. The necessary measures have been taken to maintain an appropriate level of profitability in the insurance business, in particular through repeated adjustments to premium rates. On the other hand, the assets and liabilities of (re)insurance contracts have been adjusted to take account of future inflation. The impact of claims inflation was also monitored on a quarterly basis through the periodic risk reports. Zavarovalnica Sava maintained its profitability through rate increases, largely offsetting the effect of the increase in average claims. At the end of the year, no significant additional upward pressure on prices from claims inflation was observed in Slovenia.

sition was compliant with both statutory provisions and the Group's and the Company's internal rules, ensuring continuous and adequate liquidity. Scenario analyses In the non-EU companies, a significant impact of claims inflation was seen somewhat later, in the first half of 2023, while no major impact was seen in the

second half of the year. The Sava Insurance Group continues to monitor and analyse the impact on its subsidiaries and is taking the necessary measures to mitigate it.

Claims inflation was also reflected in the reinsurance markets, where we saw an increase in sums insured in 2023, with an increase in retentions. In both the domestic and international reinsurance markets, other factors (including increased loss frequency in some markets, macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical conflicts and the prevailing hard market) influenced the renewal of reinsurance treaties in 2023, further tightening conditions and thus making the renewal of reinsurance protection more challenging. Despite the difficult environment, the Group obtained adequate reinsurance protection in 2023.

In the renewal of its accepted business in 2023, Sava Re continued to focus on appropriate portfolio diversification and adjustments to the pricing and terms of reinsurance treaties (war risk exclusions, sanctions clauses, specific exclusions and limits of cover). It also continued its efforts to reduce the discrepancies between reinsurance accepted and retrocessional cover.

In the period ahead, trends in the renewal of reinsurance programmes at 1 January 2024 suggest a gradual stabilisation of the market, which will have a moderating effect on rates and expectations in the reinsurance markets.

Natural catastrophes in 2023

During the summer months, Slovenia and certain other countries in which the Group has a presence were hit by a wave of storms and floods that caused significant property damage. The gross claims resulting from these events totalled EUR 88.3 million in 2023. Taking into account reinsurance protection, the impact of these events on the Group's profit was EUR 27.4 million. Zavarovalnica Sava had the largest impact on profit (EUR 26.4 million).

As expected, these events have had an impact on the renewal of reinsurance protection, in particular on the price of reinsurance, changes to individual reinsurance programmes, the willingness of partners to renew shares and also the willingness of the reinsurance markets to renew a particular type of reinsurance protection. All this resulted in an increased risk of obtaining adequate reinsurance protection, to which Sava Re responded by securing adequate reinsurance protection for the next financial year.

16.7.1.3 Climate change and transition to sustainable business

Climate change is a significant sustainability risk for the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re, as it has a direct and indirect impact on their business activities, and monitoring and managing this risk is crucial for the Group's long-term performance. Climate change is a serious risk for society and the economy, and for the business of insurance and reinsurance companies.

The Group monitors climate risk, including physical and transition risks. Physical risks are those that arise from the physical effects of climate change. Transition risks are those that arise from the transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy.

Given its activity, physical risks are extremely important for the Group, and the harmful effects of global warming on natural and human systems are already visible today. The Group and the Company consider the risk of an increase in the severity and frequency of extreme weather events and natural catastrophes due to climate change to be a key physical risk. Without further international action on climate change, average global temperatures will continue to rise, potentially increasing underwriting risk through greater loss unpredictability or exposure to natural catastrophes. Monitoring the development of such events will therefore be very important in the future.

Also significant for the Group is transition risk, which relates to potential material negative impact on the value of investments and other significant effects on its business operations.

Transition and physical risks are, and will continue to be, extremely important for the Group's companies, so they are subject to constant Group-level monitoring. Climate risk was also analysed (qualitatively and quantitatively) in the ORSA.

There is a high level of awareness within the Group that there are many challenges and risks associated with the Group's transition to sustainable business. Monitoring and reporting on risks related to sustainable development and social responsibility has been established. There is also a strong focus on effective and meaningful implementation of sustainability legislation.

16.7.1.4 Cyber risk

Cyber risks were among the key operational risks in 2023. Monitoring and managing these risks will become increasingly important for the Sava Insurance Group. The realisation of cyber risks can lead to a complete disruption of operations and high financial losses, while also affecting the Group's reputation. Therefore, additional risk mitigation measures are being planned and implemented at Group level, in addition to those already in place. These include the establishment of an

information security team, the development of a cyber incident response plan, the integration of a multifactor user authentication system and the establishment of a database protection system. Major cyber risks identified include ransomware, malware, social engineering, data breaches and theft, and denial of service. Security threats and incidents are also regularly monitored through the Security Operations Centre (SOC).

In 2023, the Sava Insurance Group has taken an active approach to planning activities to comply with the new DORA 125 regulation for all companies in the Group. The legislation, which comes into force on 17 January 2025, sets new network and information security requirements for financial institutions. Activities will be led at Group level by a formally established project team and include ICT risk management, ICT incident reporting, digital operational resilience testing, third-party ICT risk management and the establishment of information sharing processes.

16.7.1.5 Risk assessment and the going-concern assumption

Despite the challenging environment, the Sava Insurance Group exceeded its planned profit for 2023. The impact of events (mainly catastrophe claims and claims inflation) on the solvency ratio was also monitored quarterly throughout 2023, at both Group and company level. Estimates show that their solvency ratios in 2023 were significantly above the regulatory requirement and in line with internal criteria. For both the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re, risks are continuously identified, monitored, analysed and managed, and the necessary decisions and adjustments are made.

A possible deterioration of the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation may have an adverse impact on the assets and liabilities of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re also in 2024. This may have a direct or indirect impact on the Group's and the Company's business. The solvency of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re may also be affected, but it is not expected to be compromised given their strong capitalisation. Liquidity risk is well managed in both the Group and Sava Re, and no significant increase in liquidity risk is expected over the next 12 months. For Sava Re, the going concern assumption continues to apply, based on the expected cash flow from the core business and the composition of the investment portfolio, which can provide sufficient liquidity for a prolonged period of stress.

management in the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re

16.7.2 Capital adequacy and capital At the Group and Sava Re level, the standard formula is used to calculate the capital requirements in accordance with the Solvency II legislation. The solvency capital requirement (SCR) is fully calculated once a year, whereas the eligible own funds supporting the Group's solvency requirements are assessed quarterly and the solvency position is assessed during the year. Thus, on a quarterly basis, the solvency position is shown as an interval within which the solvency ratio is estimated to lie in the relevant quarter. Capital adequacy as at 31 December 2022 was assessed under the previous accounting standards (IFRS 4), whereas the assessment as at 31 December 2023 was based on IFRS 17. This had no significant impact on the solvency ratio. The Group's estimated solvency position as at 31 December 2023 shows that the Group is well capitalised, with an expected solvency ratio of between 188% and 194% (31 December 2022: 183%). The Group's eligible own funds to cover the solvency capital requirement (SCR) amounted to EUR 566.0 million at 31 Deer comprehensive income. The Group's solvency capital requirement (SCR) was EUR 310.1 million as at 31 December 2022 and is estimated to have increased in 2023, mainly as a result of an increase in non-life and health underwriting risk and a lower adjustment to the SCR for the loss absorbency of deferred taxes. The assessments carried out indicate that the Group's solvency as at 31 December 2023 remains at a high level, well above the regulatory requirement. At the Sava Insurance Group level, in addition to ensuring regulatory capital adequacy, it is important to manage capital in such a way that it meets the requirements of credit rating agencies for "A" ratings, and that the Group remains solvent and is able to meet its obligations even if stress scenarios materialise. To this end, the risk strategy of the Sava Insurance Group for 2023–2027, which defines the Group's risk appetite, defines the levels of required solvency ratios, as listed on the right. Additional engagement Overcapitalisation or return of capital > 250% Seeking ways to restructure capital use Acceptable capitalisation 210%–250% No action required Optimal capitalisation 170%–210% Potential capital restructuring Suboptimal capitalisation Solvency ratio levels of the Group in line with internal rules defined by the risk strategy

100%–150%

The estimated solvency ratio of the Sava Insurance Group at the end of 2023 is therefore also in line with the internal criteria and is at the level of optimal capitalisation, as shown in the following graph on the upper right. The graph shows the Group's solvency ratio ranges by quarter compared to the lower and upper limits of the optimal level of the solvency ratio under internal criteria.

The Company's solvency position as at 31 December 2023 shows that it is well capitalised, with a solvency ratio of 289% (31 December 2022: 266%). The amount of own funds eligible to cover the solvency capital requirement (SCR) as at 31 December 2023 was EUR 653.2 million (31 December 2022: EUR 569.2 million). The increase is mainly due to the strong operating performance in 2023 and the increase in the value of participations. The Company's solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2023 was EUR 225.9 million (31 December 2022: EUR 213.8 million) and increased mainly due to the increase in market and non-life underwriting risks.

Throughout 2023, the Company's capital adequacy was consistently assessed to have been above the lower bound of the solvency ratio defined in the risk strategy (more than 200%) and significantly above regulatory requirements.

The graph on the right below, shows the solvency ratio ranges of the Company in 2023, the audited solvency ratio as at 31 December 2023 and the compliance with the required lower bound of the solvency ratio according to the internal criteria.

Based on the preceding charts, the Company believes that insolvency risk is low. The scenarios conducted under ORSA 2024 also demonstrated the robustness of the Group's and the Company's solvency position.

The annual calculation of capital adequacy will be discussed in more detail in the Solvency and Financial Condition Report of the Sava Insurance Group and the Solvency and Financial Condition Report of Sava Re d.d.

16.7.3 Underwriting risks

The Group and the Company are exposed to non-life, life and health underwriting risks. Accepted life reinsurance business of non-Group cedants, including accident reinsurance business, is classified as health underwriting risk. Due to its one-year duration and according to the nature of its coverage, this life reinsurance business is comparable to accepted accident reinsurance business.

First, we present underwriting risks arising out of nonlife business. This is followed by risks arising out of life and health insurance business.

16.7.3.1 Non-life underwriting risks

The Group's exposure to non-life underwriting risk, measured by the volume of consolidated gross non-life premiums, is shown in the graph on the right.

The breakdown of the Group's gross non-life premiums did not change significantly in 2023.

The Group's largest premium volume is generated in Slovenia and the Adriatic region, where its direct insurance subsidiaries operate; exposure to Slovenia is predominant. Premiums are higher in 2023, and the share of the largest classes of insurance increased further in 2023. The Company's other exposures are relatively well diversified globally.

The Group's exposure to non-life measured by net (re) insurance contract liabilities is disclosed in note 16.8.9 "Insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities".

As the Group as a whole has an adequate retrocession programme in place, it is not significantly exposed to the risk of a sharp increase in net claims, even in the event of catastrophe losses. More likely is an increase in net claims due to a mass of small adverse developments (an increase in claims or expenses or decrease in premiums) that would affect the net combined ratio.

The Company's exposure to non-life underwriting risk, measured by the volume of gross non-life premiums, is shown in the graph on the right, by class of insurance.

insurance premiums did not change significantly in 2023.

The Company's exposure to non-life underwriting risk measured by net (re)insurance contract liabilities is disclosed in note 16.8.9 "Insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities".

The Group and the Company manage non-life underwriting risks by:

  • established underwriting processes, comprising procedures and an authorisation system for the underwriting of (re)insurance contracts with higher sums insured, and a process for the underwriting of (re) insurance contracts in accordance with internal underwriting guidelines for facultative underwriting for high exposures;
  • underwriting limits;
  • geographical diversification;
  • an appropriate actuarial pricing policy applied in product design and controlling; and
  • an appropriate reinsurance programme.

The following sections describe risk management in more detail for each of the non-life underwriting risks.

Premium risk

The Group's and the Company's premium risk is assessed as moderate and slightly decreased compared to 2022. Uncertainties include claims inflation, which is somewhat lower in 2023 than in 2022 but remains high, and the increased frequency and severity of natural catastrophes. In the future, it will remain necessary to closely review the adequacy of the assumptions used and to react swiftly by adjusting premium rates to ensure that the Group achieves its planned results.

Most accepted non-life (re)insurance contracts are renewed annually. This allows insurers to adjust conditions and rates on an ongoing basis to reflect any adverse developments in the claims experience of entire classes of business and major policyholders. In response to rising inflation, the Group has already taken steps to increase premium rates for motor and property insurance. Due to deteriorating macroeconomic conditions and the increased severity of natural catastrophes in recent years, reinsurance premium rates increased further in 2023, which has been beneficial for the management of premium risk in reinsurance underwriting.

The Group mitigates price risk by conducting detailed market analyses, monitoring the business environment (media, competitors, customers) and regulatory requirements, and monitoring historical claims trends (for the entire insurance market) and projections. In the case 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 by market and class of insurance. Consequently, coverage may only be granted by following internal underwriting guidelines, and performance must be consistent with the target combined ratios, based on available information, prices set and other relevant contractual provisions. The suitability of pricing is verified through modelling and other detailed profitability reviews.

Another underwriting process risk is PML error, the inaccurate assessment of the probable maximum loss (PML). In order to mitigate this risk, the Group has in place guidelines for PML assessment, requirements that PML assessments are a team exercise, and ensures that the reinsurance programme covers PML error.

The Group mitigates claims risk through in-depth assessments of underwriting process risk, by restricting the authorisations in the underwriting process, and by developing IT support that allows an accurate overview of claims accumulation. For accepted reinsurance, this risk, too, can be managed by means of special clauses in proportional reinsurance contracts, which limit the reinsurer's share of unexpected claims, and by not accepting unlimited layers under non-proportional contracts. Also central to reducing this risk is the annual testing of the appropriateness of reinsurance protection using a variety of stress tests and scenarios, and setting appropriate retentions. Retention levels and reinsurance protection for individual risks remained similar to the previous year in 2023.

Risk of insufficient insurance contract liabilities

The risk that the Group or the Company has insufficient insurance contract liabilities is assessed as medium and is slightly lower compared to 2022, as the level of insurance contract liabilities for all major portfolios has already been appropriately adjusted in 2022 for past and expected future inflation. Compared to the previous year, the inflation outlook for 2023 has also moderated somewhat. The risk is managed through the measures described below.

Insurance contract liabilities may be inadequate due to inaccurate actuarial estimates or unexpected adverse claims developments. This may be the result of new types of losses that are not excluded in cedants' insurance conditions and for which no insurance contract liabilities have yet been established, which is common in liability insurance, but may also be due to changes in court practice. All the lessons learned from claims experience are then used to determine insurance contract liabilities in the future.

The adjustment of the assumptions for setting insurance contract liabilities in 2023 was affected by the change in the forecast of the expected future claims inflation and the higher severity of natural catastrophes, whereas the run-off analyses of the liability for incurred claims previously set show positive results in 2022 (below).

Based on records and understanding of the process of calculating the insurance contract liabilities, potential risks are identified and described, such as the risks relating to:

  • data availability and accuracy,
  • adequacy of methods and assumptions used,
  • calculation errors,
  • process support in the IT system and tools.

Controls are put in place for the mitigation of each identified risk. These controls ensure data quality and mitigate the risks associated with the calculation of insurance contract liabilities. The design and operational effectiveness of the controls are reviewed at least annually and whenever there is a significant change in the process or in the methods and models used to calculate insurance contract liabilities.

Such controls include:

  • the reconciliation of technical items with the Company's accounting records,
  • peer review of actuarial methods and assumptions,
  • defined change management controls for IT tools used in the process,
  • actuarial review and approval of the level of insurance contract liabilities.

The process by which insurance contract liabilities are calculated is subject to periodic approval. Where substantial changes have been made to the process, the methodology or models used in the calculation of insurance contract liabilities, a validation is carried out in accordance with the reporting schedule.

Back-testing of adequacy of insurance contract liabilities in 2023

The Group establishes the liability for remaining coverage separately for each group of insurance contracts. In addition to the basic amount of liability for remaining coverage, Group companies establish a loss component if a contract is unprofitable (described in the accounting policies for insurance contracts).

The adequacy of the level of the liability for incurred claims is assessed using run-off analysis. This can only be applied to past years – the further back in time, the more precise the results. As the liabilities for incurred claims are calculated using consistent actuarial methods, we can conclude from historical differences between originally estimated and subsequently established liabilities at various balance sheet dates that the liabilities as at 31 December 2023 are adequate.

The Group companies record and analyse data on liabilities for incurred claims by accident year. The following tables show, for each accident year represented by a column, the development of the estimated ultimate

claims (gross, net) of each accident year in relation to the subsequent claims development. The values in the tables, except for the last row, are not discounted.

The data in the following tables are only presented from the transition to the new accounting standard onwards, because the data are insufficient for previous years because of the application of the premium allocation approach on a large part of the non-life portfolio and the fair value transition on certain parts of the portfolio measured using the general measurement model.

All amounts included in the following tables whose original value is in a foreign currency have been translated into euro at the rates of the European Central Bank (ECB) reference rate list published by the Bank of Slovenia as at 31 December of the relevant year. On the other hand, all cash flow amounts included in the tables below that are originally denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into euro using the average exchange rate for the year.

The actual claims development by accident year shows that the run-off of gross and net liabilities is predominantly positive. On the basis of the above, it can be concluded that the level of both the gross and net liabilities for incurred claims as at 31 December 2023 for accident years up to and including 2023 is adequate to cover the expected ultimate liabilities.

Lapse risk

The lapse risk in 2023 for both Sava Re and the Group is assessed as low and comparable to the previous year.

It is estimated that lapse risk is less important for the Group, as the vast majority of non-life insurance policies is written for one year and cannot be terminated early without the insurer's consent (except in

case of premium default or if the subject-matter of the insurance policy is no longer owned by the policyholder or has been destroyed due to a loss event). The majority of accepted reinsurance contracts is also written for a period of one year. This risk is mitigated primarily by maintaining good relationships with policyholders and cedants and by closely analysing market conditions.

Catastrophe risk

We assess the Group's catastrophe risk in 2023 to be moderate and (given the size of the insurance portfolios) slightly higher than in the previous year because of the increasing severity of natural catastrophes. We also rate the same risk for Sava Re as moderate.

The Group manages catastrophe risk by means of a well-designed underwriting process, by controlling risk concentration for products covering larger complexes against natural catastrophes and fire, by geographical diversification, and by adequate retrocession protection against natural and man-made catastrophes. In managing these risks, due consideration is given to the fact that maximum net aggregate losses in any one year are affected by both the maximum net claim arising from a single catastrophe event and the frequency of such events.

Year ended 31 December

An appropriate reinsurance programme is important for managing the underwriting risk to which the Group is exposed. The Group uses retrocession treaties to ensure adequate risk diversification. 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

126 For exposure, in countries where modelled exposure data is available, PML assumptions (250 year events) are used, but where this data is not available, the sum insured is used as the maximum exposure.

127 The data compiled are as at 30 June of each year.

reciprocal contracts with other reinsurers to further disperse risks.

We consider natural catastrophe risk to be the most significant catastrophe risk to which non-life insurance is exposed. Sava Re has the highest exposure to natural catastrophes in Slovenia, whereas exposures elsewhere are relatively well-diversified globally.

The table below shows the Company's gross natural catastrophe exposures for 10 countries with the highest exposures as at 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022.

Exposure to Slovenia decreased by EUR 19.3 million compared to the previous year, with no other major changes compared to the previous year. Countries with the highest gross exposure in 2023 also include Germany, Austria and Serbia.

At the Group level, as shown in the table above, exposure to natural catastrophes is higher in regions where the Group companies write non-life insurance. Thus, the largest gross aggregate exposure to natural catastrophes is concentrated in Slovenia, and the Group has a reinsurance programme to cover catastrophe risks (detailed below), thereby transferring a portion of the risk to reinsurers. The following table shows the gross aggregate exposure in Slovenia by peril.

The Group's primary insurance business and separately accepted non-Group reinsurance business is protected against natural catastrophes based on non-proportional catastrophe excess-of-loss coverages for own account. Even prior to the operation of the non-proportional protection, the portfolio of earthquake (re)insurance business of the Group's cedants is protected by a quota share retrocession treaty. This means that if a major event occurs, the Group will suffer a loss equal, at most, to the amount of the priority of the catastrophe excess-of-loss cover plus a reinstatement premium. In

this way, the maximum net exposure of a portfolio to a catastrophe event is limited by the retention up to the capacity of the reinsurance cover. If the Group makes additional use of the coverage, it is subject to provisions concerning reinstatements, meaning that it needs to purchase protection for the remaining period of cover. This is a common instrument available in the international reinsurance market at a price that is usually lower than the original cover due to the shorter coverage period.

Most of the effect of a change in the gross loss ratio is reflected in the income statement, the direct effect of this type of sensitivity analysis on AOCI is small. The effect as at 31 December 2023 on profit or loss has remained at the same level as at 31 December 2022.

Assessed risk exposure in 2023 compared to 2022

The Group's non-life underwriting risk is assessed as moderate. In 2023, the premium risk remains at a

similar level to 2022, while the reserve risk slightly decreased in 2023 and the catastrophe risk slightly increased compared to 2022. We believe that the risks to which the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re are exposed are adequately managed.

According to our assessment, the likelihood that the non-life underwriting risk would seriously compromise the Group's or the Company's financial stability is estimated as low.

16.7.3.2 Life underwriting risk

The main life underwriting risks relevant for Sava Re and the Group are the mortality risk, life expense risk and lapse risk (which includes terminations due to surrenders, changes to paid-up status and defaults).

The Group is moderately exposed to life underwriting risk. The Group's main exposure to life underwriting risk is in the EU. The following chart shows the structure of the Group's gross life insurance premiums by class of business.

The Company's exposure to life underwriting risk is low. In 2023, gross reinsurance premiums for traditional life insurance amounted to EUR 1,242 thousand (2022: EUR 1,202 thousand) and gross unit-linked life insurance premiums were EUR 86 thousand (2022: EUR 95 thousand).

The Group's and the Company's exposure to life underwriting risk measured by net (re)insurance contract liabilities is disclosed in note 16.8.9 "Insurance and reinsurance contract assets and liabilities".

Life underwriting risks are also managed by periodically monitoring the life portfolio composition, exposures, premium payment patterns, lapse rates and expenses incurred, as well as by analysing the appropriateness of the modelling of the expected mortality and morbidity, and lapse rates. The information so obtained allows for timely action in the case of adverse developments in these indicators.

The Group additionally manages life underwriting risk by strictly following underwriting and risk assessment procedures. These specify the criteria and terms of approving risk acceptance. At given premium rates, risk assumption depends on the age at entry and the requested sum insured. The Group accepts a risk if the health of the insured, as a measure of the quality of the risk, meets the criteria set out in the medical underwriting table. 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 (death and additional risks); covers are generally on a proportional basis. The retention of insurance companies does not exceed EUR 100,000.

There is no significant concentration of life underwriting risk at the Group level, as the portfolio is well-diversified in terms of the age of the insured persons, the remaining period of insurance, exposures (of sums insured and sums at risk), and premium payment schedule. The portfolio is also diversified in terms of the percentage of policies lapsed in a period, expenses, and mortality and morbidity rates by product.

Sensitivity analysis for life underwriting risks

For life insurance, we have assumed a change in the assumptions for mortality rates, morbidity and disability rates, longevity rates, expenses and lapse rates. The change in assumptions for longevity rates also takes into account the annuities of Sava Pokojninska Družba. We have restated the effect on profit or loss and AOCI128. The effects shown in the following tables are net of income tax.

Based on the sensitivity analysis performed, it can be concluded that the sensitivities performed do not have a material impact on profit or loss. The direct effect on AOCI as at 31 December 2023 is greatest for the change in the lapse rate.

Assessed risk exposure in 2023 compared to 2022

We estimate the Group's life underwriting risk as moderate and well managed, remaining at a similar level to 2022.

16.7.3.3 Health underwriting risk

Most of the exposure to health underwriting risk relates to accident insurance classified as NSLT health insurance, but the exposure to SLT health insurance is very small.

NSLT health underwriting risks are, inherently, very similar to non-life underwriting risks and are therefore discussed in greater detail in section 16.7.3.1 "Non-life underwriting risks". The Group manages NSLT-health underwriting risks through similar techniques, i.e. by means of a well-designed underwriting process, control of risk concentration for accident and health insurance products, and adequate reinsurance protection.

SLT health underwriting risks are very similar in nature to life underwriting risks, and are therefore managed by the Group using similar techniques. These are discussed in more detail in section 16.7.3.2 "Life underwriting risks". These insurances were taken into account in our sensitivity analysis for life underwriting risks.

Assessed risk exposure in 2023 compared to 2022

We consider the Group's and the Company's exposure to health underwriting risk in 2023 small and comparable to 2022.

16.7.4 Financial risks130

The Company's financial operations expose it to financial risks arising from its investment portfolio, including market, liquidity and credit risks.

The value of the investment portfolio includes the following balance sheet items: financial investments, investment property, investments in associates and subsidiaries, and cash and cash equivalents. As at 31 December 2023, the carrying amount of this investment portfolio stood at EUR 2,111.8 million (31 December 2022: EUR 1,914.0 million).

The value of the Company's financial investments exposed to market risk decreased by EUR 140 million in 2023 compared to year-end 2022, which is explained in section 8.2.3.4 of the business report part (first part of the annual report).

16.7.4.1.1 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is measured through sensitivity analysis, which measures the change in value of interest rate sensitive investments and the change in value of insurance contract liabilities when interest rates change by 1 p.p. or 100 basis points.

The interest rate sensitive portion of the Group's and the Company's investment portfolio includes government and corporate bonds, deposits, loans, bond and mixed mutual funds covering non-life and traditional life insurance and reinsurance contract liabilities, including insurance contract liabilities of direct participating contracts.

On the liabilities side, all liabilities arising from (re) insurance contracts are included in line with the IFRS 17 valuation. In the table, assets and liabilities relating to non-life and traditional life insurance business are shown together, whereas assets and liabilities relating to life insurance where policyholders bear the investment risk are shown separately under direct participating contracts.

The Group's investment portfolio, excluding investments in direct participating contracts, also includes variable-rate investments. These investments are linked to a 3-month EURIBOR and therefore the Company has not recorded the effects of the benchmark reform (IBOR), which provides for the substitution of certain interest rate benchmarks. It holds no other variable-rate investments. The Group does not have any variable-rate liabilities.

The total value of the Group's interest rate sensitive investments at 31 December 2023 was EUR 1,475.1 million (31 December 2022: EUR 1,273.2 million). The value of interest rate sensitive liabilities at 31 December 2023 was EUR 1,537.0 million (31 December 2022: EUR 1,410.1 million).

The value of investments other than investments supporting direct participating contracts (31 December 2023: EUR 1,315.4 million; 31 December 2022: EUR 1,188.9 million) is significantly above insurance and reinsurance contract liabilities (31 December 2023: EUR 950.1 million; 31 December 2022: EUR 931.3 million), due to interest rate sensitive investments of the Group companies' own funds, which are not immediately intended to cover insurance and reinsurance liabilities. The higher value of (re)insurance contract assets in relation to (re)insurance contract liabilities also affects the higher sensitivity of insurance contract assets. In managing these investments, Group companies ensure that the maturities of the investments match those of the liabilities.

The lower value of the investments underlying direct participating contracts compared to the corresponding liabilities is due to the fact that only interest rate sensitive investments (bonds, bond mutual funds) with a total value of EUR 159.7 million are shown among the investments underlying direct participating contracts (31 December 2022: EUR 140.5 million), whereas all the assets and liabilities relating to direct participating contracts are interest rate sensitive.

ipating contracts". The impact of a change in interest rates on an insurer's profit or loss or AOCI depends on vestment. In accordance with the accounting policies adopted by the Group companies, the majority of the changes in value of the items are recognised in AOCI

As can be seen from the results, an increase in interest rates has a negative effect, while a decrease in interest rates has a positive effect, mainly on the Company's AOCI.

Interest rate risk was slightly lower in 2023 compared to the previous year, mainly due to the shorter duration of interest rate sensitive investments.

The average maturity of bonds and deposits of non-life business was 2.6 years at year-end 2023 (31 December 2022: 3.2 years), while the expected maturity of non-life liabilities was 2.2 years (31 December 2022: 2.1 years).

The average maturity of bonds and deposits supporting the life business was 4.0 years at year-end 2023 (31 December 2022: 4.6 years), and the expected maturity of life insurance liabilities was 7.5 years (31 December 2022: 7.5 years).

As can be seen from the results, an increase in interest
rates has a negative effect, while a decrease in interest
rates has a positive effect, mainly on the Company's
AOCI.

Overall interest rate sensitivity decreased slightly compared to the previous year, whereas the expected volatility of market interest rates remained elevated due to macroeconomic conditions. There was no impact on the income statement for insurance and reinsurance contracts. This is because no new reinsurance contracts were recognised in the last month.

We estimate that the interest rate risk remained at about the same level as the previous year.

16.7.4.1.2 Risk of change in the market value of property investments

The Group and the Company are exposed to the risk of change in the market value of property investments as part of the risks affecting the investment portfolio. In addition to investment property, real estate funds

shown as alternative investments under financial investments are also exposed to this risk.

The following two tables show the value of investment property and real estate funds of the Group and Sava Re.

The selected shock would reduce the value of the Group's investments sensitive to investment property risk by EUR 5.8 million (31 December 2022: EUR 5.9 million), and the value of the Company's investments exposed to investment property risk would decrease by EUR 1.8 million (31 December 2022: EUR 1.8 million). The investment property price risk has not changed significantly compared to the previous year.

16.7.4.1.3 Equity price risk

Assets exposed to the risk include shares, equity and mixed mutual funds (the sensitivity analysis takes into account half of the value), alternative funds (infrastructure) and ETFs.

Unlike the bond portfolio, which moves inversely to interest rates, the value of equities and mutual funds changes linearly with stock prices. Equity price risk is measured by a sensitivity analysis, i.e., the change in the value of such investments in case of a 20% change.

16.7.4.1.4 Risk of change in value of investments in subsidiaries and associates of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re

With regard to the risk associated with their financial investments in associates, the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re are mainly exposed to the risk of a decline in the value of these investments. As at 31 December 2023, the Group's total exposure to the risk of financial investments in associates was EUR 23.8 million (31 December 2022: EUR 21.9 million).

The following table shows the sensitivity of investments in associates to changes in value. The analysis only includes the associated company Diagnostic Centre Bled.

Regarding the risk related to its investments in subsidiaries and associates, Sava Re is especially exposed to the risk of a decline in the value of these investments and to concentration risk. In 2023, the Company's largest exposure among investments in subsidiaries and associates was from its investment in Zavarovalnica Sava, which accounted for 37.9% as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: 38.2%) of the total value of its investments in subsidiaries and associates. As at 31 December 2023, the Company's total exposure to the risk related to investments in subsidiaries and associates was EUR 325.2 million (31 December 2022: EUR 322.9 million).

The Company's exposure to the risk related to investments in subsidiaries and associates was at a similar level in 2023 as in 2022. Taking account of all the impacts, we believe that the risk related to participations remained moderate due to their active management.

The Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re manage the risk related to their investments in subsidiaries and associates through active management of the companies, comprising:

  • a governance system (management and supervision) and clear segregation of responsibilities at all levels,
  • risk management policies,

16.7.4.1.5 Currency risk

As at 31 December 2023, the Sava Insurance Group recorded 8.3% of liabilities nominated in a foreign currency (2022: 10.7%).

The Sava Insurance Group manages currency risk through the efforts of each company to optimise asset-liability currency matching. Based on the market situation, individual

companies assess the ability of currency matching in the primary currency, and, if this is not possible, the transaction currency is used for matching.

The following table shows the currency (mis)match for the Sava Insurance Group for the five currencies that account for the largest portion of its liabilities.

Sava Re is the Sava Insurance Group member with the largest exposure to currency risk.

As at 31 December 2023, the Company's liabilities denominated in foreign currencies accounted for 14.0% (2022: 15.4%) of the Company's total liabilities. As the proportion of international business is rising (as is the number of different currencies), Sava Re has put in place rules on currency matching, which define the conditions and method of currency matching. To mitigate currency risk, assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are actively matched. The currency matching rules lay down the criteria as to when the Company should start currency matching by accounting currency131. 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 matching.132

The currency mismatch of assets and liabilities is monitored by individual accounting currency. The following table showes the currency mismatch for the five currencies that account for the largest share of liabilities.

In the management of currency risk (ALM aspect), Sava Re directly matches all the more liquid currencies. Other currencies are matched based on their correlation with the euro or the US dollar.

131 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.

132 The transaction currency is the currency in which reinsurance contract transactions are processed.

16.7.4.2 Liquidity risk

The Group companies manage liquidity risk in line with the guidelines laid down in the Sava Insurance Group's liquidity risk management policy. Each Group member carefully plans and monitors the realisation of cash flows (cash inflows and outflows) and, in the event of liquidity problems, informs the parent company, which assesses the situation and provides the necessary funds to ensure liquidity.

Liquidity risk is monitored and managed by the Group companies in accordance with the size and complexity of their operations, with particular attention paid to liquidity risk management in the EU-based insurance companies due to their importance to the Group's operations.

The Group monitors and manages liquidity risk:

  • with clearly defined procedures and rules for the daily planning and liquidity management of each Group company,
  • by carefully planning, monitoring, analysing and reporting on realised cash flows,
  • by maintaining an adequate level of highly liquid assets,
  • through a system of intercompany liquidity lines of credit within the Group,
  • through long-term planning and appropriate matching of asset and liability maturities.

The Group companies generally meet their short-term liquidity needs by allocating funds to money market instruments in proportion to their estimated normal day-to-day liquidity requirements.

The adequacy of the assessed liquidity needs at the individual company level is regularly reviewed and analysed by monitoring and analysing realised operating cash flows and comparing them with medium-term cash flow projections.

Additional liquidity is provided to the Group companies through a system of intercompany liquidity lines of credit established within the Group companies and by maintaining an appropriate level of highly liquid investments. The Group's risk strategy requires its EU-based insurance companies to hold at least 20% of their investment portfolio in highly liquid financial assets.

The Group companies prepare monthly reports on the cash flows generated by their core business, which are sent to the parent company together with explanations of significant inflows or outflows and deviations.

The Group's management is informed of liquidity risks through regular reports which include, as a minimum, a comparison of realised and projected cash flows from the core business and the value and proportion of highly liquid investments in the portfolio.

As at 31 December 2023, highly liquid investments of
the Sava Insurance Group represented 44.5% (31 De
cember 2022: 43.0%) of the total investment portfo
lio, which demonstrates the high liquidity of the port
folio and its consistency with the risk strategy.
We consider the Sava Insurance Group's liquidity risk
to be largely unchanged from 2022 and low.

Sava Re manages liquidity risk in accordance with the guidelines laid down in the liquidity risk management pol icy of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re.

The Company monitors and manages liquidity risk:

  • with clearly defined procedures and rules for the dai ly planning and liquidity management of each Group company,
  • by carefully planning, monitoring, analysing and re porting on realised cash flows,
  • by maintaining an adequate level of highly liquid as sets,
  • through a system of intercompany liquidity lines of credit within the Group,
  • through long-term planning and appropriate matching of asset and liability maturities.

The Company manages liquidity risk by ensuring funds in the amount of the estimated liquidity requirement. This consists of an assessment of normal day-to-day liquidity needs and a liquidity buffer, and it is provided by allocat ing assets to money market instruments.

The Company makes the normal current liquidity assess ment based on the projected cash flow analysis in the pe riod 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, historical data from previous monthly and weekly liquidity plans and projec tions regarding future operations are used. The liquidity reserve is then calculated on the basis of an assessment of the maximum weekly outflows based on historical data.

Additional liquidity is provided to Sava Re through a sys tem of intercompany liquidity lines of credit established within the Group companies and by maintaining an ap propriate level of highly liquid investments. The Compa ny's risk strategy requires that at least 20% of the invest ment portfolio be invested in highly liquid financial assets.

Management is informed of liquidity risks through regu lar reports which include, as a minimum, a comparison of realised and projected cash flows from the core business and the value and proportion of highly liquid investments in the portfolio.

The Company held EUR 192.0 million or 52% (31 De cember 2022: EUR 185.1 million or 52.1%) of highly liq uid investments.

The Company's liabilities with up to 1 year's maturity at the end of 2023 exceeded short-term assets. Taking into consideration expected operating income and a high share of liquid investments, we estimate the Company's liquidity position as appropriate.

Based on the above, we estimate that the liquidity risk of the Company is well managed and did not change signifi cantly compared to year-end 2022.

In the following tables, the values of financial invest ments are shown on the basis of undiscounted cash flows, whereas (re)insurance contract assets and liabilities are shown on the basis of discounted cash flows.

"A" or better accounted for 71.1% of the total fixedrate portfolio (31 December 2022: 66.5%). The share of the best-rated investments increased somewhat in 2022 compared with the previous year. Fixed-rate investments with no credit rating available accounted for 4.9% of fixed-rate investments (previous year: 6.9%).

The composition of cash and cash equivalents reflects the banking system in the region where the Group has a presence through subsidiaries.

In terms of credit risk management, the Company aims to have a substantial portion of its debt investments rated "A-" or better. As at 31 December 2023, fixed-rate debt investments rated "A" or better represented 88.3% (31 December 2022: 86.1%) of total debt investments. The Company regularly monitors its exposure to individual issuers and any changes in their creditworthiness in order to be prepared to respond in a timely manner to any adverse developments in the financial markets or an increase in risk associated with an issuer.

The Company mitigates the credit risk of its other investments through a high degree of diversification and by investing in liquid securities.

The investment portfolios of the Sava Insurance Group and the Company are well diversified in accordance with local law and Group internal rules in order to avoid high concentration in a particular type of investment, high concentration with a particular counterparty or economic sector, or other potential forms of concentration.

The composition of cash and cash equivalents reflects the banking system in the region in which we operate.

Exposure to Slovenia by type of asset

At the year end, the exposure of the Company to Slovenia-based issuers was EUR 45.6 million, representing 12.2% of financial investments (31 December 2022: EUR 56.4 million; 15.9%). Compared to 31 December 2022, the share of such investments decreased by 3.7 p.p., chiefly due to the lower balance of cash and cash equivalents and equity investments.

As at 31 December 2023, the Company's exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 154.5 million, representing 41.3% of financial investments (31 December 2022: EUR 150.5 million; 42.3%). The largest

single issuer of securities to which the Company is exposed is Germany. As at 31 December 2023, the exposure totalled EUR 48.3 million or 12.9% of financial investments (31 December 2022: EUR 38.5 million; 10.8%).

We assess that in 2023, 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 2022.

Expected credit losses (ECL)

The Group monitors credit risk by monitoring the calculated expected credit losses, which measure the potential for an investment to be impaired or reduced in value due to the credit risk of the issuer. The expected credit loss of an investment is measured according to its stage, which is reviewed on a monthly basis. The majority of the investments for which the Company measures and monitors expected credit losses (bonds, loans, deposits) are classified as stage 1, meaning that the Company has not experienced a significant increase in credit risk since the date the investment

was recognised. For the value of investments exposed to credit risk, changes in the fair value of interest on FVOCI investments, changes in the amortised cost of AC investments, and changes in accrued interest and exchange rate differences are recorded in the table under "Other changes".

The main input parameters for determining credit losses are the probability of default (PD), the loss given default (LGD) and the exposure at default (EAD). The probability of default is modelled as a function of historical average default probabilities over time, a systematic risk factor and a correlation parameter. The value of a systematic risk or economic condition factor reflects the position in the economic cycle over a period of time. The Company determines the business cycle index based on the deviation of GDP growth in the OECD area from its long-term trend. Mathematical operations can be used to obtain the long-term trend and the cyclical component (deviations from trend) from nominal GDP.

In addition to the baseline scenario, a downside and an upside scenario were used in the sensitivity analysis, after which the expected credit losses were recalculated.

For the purpose of sensitivity testing of the ECL level, a stress scenario has been prepared where the average default rate is shocked by around 40 basis points. Such a change in the probability of default would reduce the estimated long-term expected economic activity (change in GDP) by around 0.7 p.p. in the downside scenario and by 5 p.p. in the upside scenario. A change in these assumptions would increase the Group's ECLs from EUR -1.8 million to EUR -2.3 million in 2023 in the case of deterioration and from EUR -1.8 million to EUR -1.3 million in the case of improvement. The Group has 6 stage 2 investments in its portfolio, representing 19.5% of the total ECL at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: 28.2%).

In Sava Re, in case of a deterioration of the situation, the ECL would increase from EUR -0.2 million to EUR -0.3 million, and in case of an improvement of the situation, the provision would decrease from EUR -0.2 million to EUR 0.2 million. The Company has 1 stage 2 investment in its portfolio, representing 54.7% of the total ECL as at 31 December 2023 (31 December 2022: 62.4%).

Credit risk with respect to reinsurers

The Group is also exposed to credit risk in relation to its reinsurance programme. As a rule, subsidiaries conclude reinsurance contracts directly with the parent company. Exceptionally, if so required by local regulations, they buy reinsurance from providers of assistance services and 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.

Reinsurance programmes are mostly placed with firstclass reinsurers with an appropriate credit rating (at least "A-" according to S&P Global Ratings for longterm business and at least "BBB+" for short-term business). Thus, more than 90% of the Sava Insurance Group's credit risk exposure to reinsurers at the end of As at 31 December 2023, the total exposure of the Sava Insurance Group to credit risk relating to reinsurers was EUR 107.5 million (31 December 2022: EUR 68.1 million) and relates to reinsurance contract assets (including receivables due from reinsurers). At 31 December 2023, the credit risk exposure relating to reinsurers represented 4.2% of total assets (31 December 2022: 2.9%).

Exposure of the Sava Insurance Group to reinsurers by credit rating

2023 (2022: at least 90%) related to reinsurers rated "BBB" or better. 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 parent company has a credit rating. We consider such a treatment conservative, as ordinarily a parent company takes action if a subsidiary gets into trouble. The Company's reinsurance programmes are mostly placed with first-class reinsurers with an appropriate credit rating (at least "A-" according to S&P Global Ratings for long-term business, and at least "BBB+" for short-term business). We consider this risk to be low, particularly as the investment portfolio is adequately diversified. See details in the following table. Thus, more than 95% of the credit risk exposure to reinsurers at the end of 2023 (2022: slightly less than

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 16.8.17 "Receivables".

Investment contracts

The Group's investment contracts include a group of life cycle funds called MY Life-cycle Funds (Slovenian: MOJI skladi življenjskega cikla), relating to supplemen tary pension business of the company Sava Pokojninska in the accumulation phase. Investment contract liabilities are not included in the consolidated insurance and rein surance contract liabilities, and are, therefore, not includ ed in the presentation of underwriting risk. Investment contract assets are not included in the consolidated fi nancial investments item, and are, therefore, not includ ed in the presentation of investment portfolio risk.

As regards investment contract assets and liabilities, the Group is exposed to the risk of not achieving the inter est-rate guarantees in one of the long-term business funds with an interest-rate guarantee (the MGF135 fund). The interest-rate guarantee on the MGF is 60% of the average annual interest rate on government securities with a maturity of over one year. Liabilities relating to the MGF comprise paid-in premiums, guaranteed return and amounts in excess of the guaranteed return, provided the company achieves it.

In years when the return 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 compa ny is required to make provisions for the difference, up to a maximum of 20% of equity.

The risk of failing to realise interest-rate guarantees is managed primarily through appropriate management of policyholder assets and liabilities, an appropriate invest ment strategy, an adequate level of the company's equity and provisioning. The Group tests its risk exposure arising out of interest-rate guarantees through stress tests and scenarios as part of the own risk and solvency assessment. We estimate that the risk of additional payments made in order to achieve the interest-rate guarantees decreased in 2023 relative to 2022, due to favourable capital mar ket conditions.

The value of fund assets of the North Macedonian pen sion company Sava Penzisko Društvo (two funds: a man datory and a voluntary fund) is not included in the state ment of financial position of the company as these are funds under management (similar treatment as for fund management companies). The role of the North Mace donian pension company is solely to manage the assets; the funds have no interest-rate guarantees. Consequent ly, the company is not exposed to the risk to which in vestment contracts are exposed, i.e. failure to realise the interest-rate guarantees.

We estimate that the risk of failure to achieve inter est-rate guarantees is medium and slightly decreased in 2023 compared to the previous year due to the favoura ble financial market conditions.

16.7.5 Operational risks

Operational risk is the risk of loss arising from inadequate or failed internal processes, people or systems, or from external events.

Operational risks are not among the main risks faced by the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re, but they are nevertheless actively monitored and managed at both levels. The assessment of operational risks in the Group companies and at Group level is mainly based on qualitative assessment of the likelihood and financial severity within the risk register. Through regular assessments, the Group companies gain insight into the actual level of their exposure to such risks and take the necessary measures to mitigate them.

According to the qualitative assessment, the exposure of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re to operational risk is medium.

The key operational risks of the Sava Insurance Group in 2023, ranked according to their rating in the risk register (from highest to lowest) are set out below. Risks that increased in 2023 are marked as such:

• the risk of personal data breaches by the EU-based companies (increased due to the implementation of the new Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2)),

  • the risk of intentional or unintentional leakage of confidential information,
  • the risk of data loss due to a compromised or non-functioning IT system (slightly increased),
  • the risk of cyberattack,
  • the risks associated with subsidiaries reporting to the parent,
  • the risk of inadequate provision of external IT services (in-house or commercial cloud services),
  • the risk of errors in the consolidated calculations for the Group (increased due to the implementation of the new accounting standard IFRS 17).

The key operational risks of the Company in 2023, ranked according to their rating in the risk register (from highest to lowest), are set out below. Risks that increased in 2023 are marked as such:

  • the risk of personal data breaches (increased due to the implementation of the new Data Protection Act (ZVOP-2)),
  • the risk of intentional or unintentional leakage of confidential information,
  • the risk of cyberattack,
  • the risk of inadequate IT support for reinsurance,
  • the risk of inadequate provision of external IT services (in-house or commercial cloud services),
  • the risk of data loss due to a compromised or non-functioning IT system (slightly increased),
  • the risk related to the sanctions clause,
  • the risk of incorrect calculation input data, miscalculations or errors in Sava Re's internal or external reports (related to Solvency II) (increased due to the transition to the new accounting standard IFRS 17),
  • risk of misstatements in reports to the management or supervisory boards (increased due to the implementation of the new accounting standard IFRS 17).

To manage operational risks effectively, the Group companies have processes in place to identify, measure, monitor, manage and report on such risks. 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 at the individual company and Group levels include:

  • maintaining an effective business processes management system and a system of internal controls,
  • maintaining records of and monitoring incidents,
  • awareness-raising and training of all employees on their role in the implementation of the internal control system and management of operational risks,
  • implementing appropriate policies as regards information security,
  • having in place a business continuity plan for all critical processes (to minimise the risk of unpreparedness for incidents and external events and any resulting business interruption),
  • monitoring operational risk indicators at Group level for all Group companies (indicators are defined in the risk strategy and are also used to indirectly measure reputational risk),
  • having in place IT-supported processes and controls in the key areas of business of every Group company,
  • awareness-raising and training of all employees.

The Group and the Company estimate the exposure to operational risk to be moderate in 2023, with a slight increase compared to 2022. At Group and company level, risks have increased mainly due to higher assessed risks related to legal and regulatory compliance (including the risk of personal data breaches and the risk that IT plans do not comply with legal or regulatory requirements) and risks related to the management and implementation of processes (including the risk of data loss and the risk of misstatements in reports to the management and supervisory boards, or the risk of errors in consolidated calculations at Group level).

16.7.6 Strategic risks

The Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re are exposed to various internal and external strategic risks that may have a negative impact on income or capital adequacy. Strategic risks are by nature very diverse, difficult to quantify and heavily dependent on various (including external) factors.

At Group and individual company level, strategic risks are qualitatively assessed in the risk register by assessing the frequency and potential financial severity of each event. In addition, the EU-based (re)insurance companies seek to assess key strategic risks through qualitative analysis of various scenarios. Combining the two types of analysis provides a picture of the status and changing exposure to these risks.

The key strategic risks of the Sava Insurance Group in 2023, ranked according to their rating in the risk register (from highest to lowest), are set out below. Risks that increased in 2023 are marked as such:

  • the risk of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions or changes in capital markets affecting the Group's profitability or causing the investment portfolio to underperform,
  • the risk that the Group will fall behind the market in terms of digitalisation and innovation (increased risk),
  • the risk of increased competition in the markets in which the Group has a presence,
  • the risk of changes in legal and regulatory practices and the resulting impact on the Group's operations,
  • the risk that IT support is not adequate in terms of content, funding or priorities to enable the Group to achieve its strategic objectives.

In 2023, the risk of a deterioration in macroeconomic conditions and the resulting impact on the Group's profitability was still high. The macroeconomic situation was more favourable in 2023, but the geopolitical situation remained uncertain (escalating tensions between Russia and NATO, the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas). These conflicts pose a major risk of humanitarian crises and disruptions to trade and the flow of raw materials. Energy and climate change continued to dominate talks between countries. In 2023, we saw increased government borrowing and credit rating downgrades, as well as an increase in cyberattacks. The situation is expected to remain uncertain. The Group has already taken the necessary measures to mitigate the impact of these risks and will continue

to monitor the situation and take appropriate action. In 2023, the project for the transition to the new accounting standards IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 was completed at the Group level, and an information security strategy was adopted to establish a high level of cyber resilience for the Sava Insurance Group. The Group will continue to monitor legislative changes to limit regulatory risk, as well as competition in the markets in which it operates and factors affecting the performance of its individual companies.

The key strategic risks of the Company in 2023, ranked according to their rating in the risk register (from highest to lowest), are set out below. Risks that increased in 2023 are marked as such:

  • the risk of deteriorating macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions, which may make it more difficult to underwrite reinsurance or to achieve the projected returns on the investment portfolio,
  • the risk of negative changes in legislation related to the underwriting of reinsurance business,
  • the risk related to changes in legal and regulatory practices and the resulting impact on the Company's operations or insurance underwriting,
  • the risk of making the wrong decision on new strategic investments (increased by uncertain macroeconomic conditions).

Similar to the level of the Sava Insurance Group, the assessment of the risks associated with the deterioration of the macroeconomic situation at Sava Re remained at a high level. The high risk ratings have been maintained due to the ongoing uncertain geopolitical situation, notably the war in Ukraine, tensions between Russia and the West, and the outbreak of war between Israel and Hamas. The significant natural catastrophes that occurred during the summer months (such as storms, floods and wildfires), combined with other loss events, also had an impact on reinsurance rates, putting pressure on retention levels and making it more difficult to obtain adequate reinsurance protection. We also expect these risks to remain high in the coming year.

Sava Re will endeavour to ensure that the amounts of cover and premiums in reinsurance contracts adequately reflect the effects of claims inflation and loss experience, and that the Company obtains the best possible retrocession cover under the circumstances.

The Group companies mitigate individual strategic risks primarily through preventive measures, and each has various processes in place to ensure that it can properly identify, measure, monitor, manage, control and report strategic risks to ensure that they are effectively managed. In addition to the relevant organisational units in the Group companies, strategic risks are identified and managed by governance bodies, risk management committees, risk management functions and the key function holders of the risk management system. The identification of the Group's strategic risks is also the responsibility of the Group's risk management committee. Strategic risks are also managed by continually monitoring the achievement of the Group companies' short- and long-term goals and by monitoring regulatory changes in the pipeline and market developments.

The Group recognises that reputation is important to the achievement of its business goals and long-term strategic plans. To this end, its companies have put in place procedures to mitigate reputational risk, such as the establishment of fit and proper procedures applicable to employees in key positions, the systematic operation of a compliance monitoring function, business continuity planning, stress and scenario testing, and contingency and response planning in the event of a risk materialising. Operational indicators, which also indirectly measure reputational risk, have been monitored at the level of all Group companies since 2023. Toward ensuring the Group's good reputation, each and every employee is responsible for improving the quality of services delivered and overall customer satisfaction.

The Group estimates that its exposure to strategic risks was moderate in 2023, at the same level as in 2022.

16.7.6.1 Emerging risks

To ensure successful long-term business operations, it is extremely important for the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re to anticipate and identify new risks. Both try to keep abreast of trends, technological developments and events that may shape future risk development. As their occurrence is difficult to predict with certainty, information is sought from external sources and an attempt is made to identify those that could have a significant impact on the business in future periods. In 2023, a survey was conducted in all Group companies to assess emerging risks and, based on the

responses, a weighted risk assessment was prepared at Group level. The assessors in each Group company rated the risks in terms of materiality for the strategic period (up to 2027) and for the longer term (beyond 2027).

At the level of the Sava Insurance Group and Sava Re, the highest assessed risks up to 2027 were the macroeconomic risk, the physical climate risk (extreme weather conditions) and the financial stability risk. However, these risks were also highlighted as important beyond 2027 at the level of Sava Re. At Group level, in addition to the risk of climate change, the risk of a major cyberattack and the risk related to artificial intelligence were highlighted as the main risks beyond 2027. The Group and the Company will consider the risks in terms of their potential impact on the business and analyse the possible responses and actions to be taken.

16.7.6.2 Sustainability risk and climate change risk

Climate change risks

The Group monitors both physical and transition risks related to climate change risk.

Physical risks, in the form of increased exposure to natural catastrophes and weather-related losses, are most evident in the insurers' business models. In terms of natural catastrophes, the year 2023 was much more turbulent for the Sava Insurance Group than the previous year, as Slovenia was hit by the most extensive floods in its history.

Investments in sustainable development and preventive activities (renewables, awareness-raising among policyholders) will continue to be factors that will have a significant impact on the scope and scale of losses due to natural catastrophes.

The Group companies are exposed to transition risk associated with the shift to more sustainable business operations, and the Group manages this risk by regularly monitoring changes in sustainability legislation and adapting its business accordingly, including by offering more sustainable products and by actively learning about new customer needs. The Group has implemented its guidelines for responsible underwriting of environmental, social, and governance risks in nonlife insurance, which guide the Group companies in the underwriting of risks and Sava Re in the reinsurance of facultative risks. At the Group level, the Sustainable Investment Policy of Sava Insurance Group was updated this year, which, among other things, defines the activities in which the Sava Insurance Company will no longer invest (industries identified as non-sustainable). In this way, the Group manages the risks associated with the transition to sustainable business on the investment side.

Climate change risks are included in the risk register and periodically assessed against other risks. They are linked to the basic risk categories they affect (market, insurance, credit, strategic and operational risks). The main climate risks for the Sava Insurance Group are:

  • the risk of an increase in the frequency and/or severity of extreme weather events and natural catastrophes due to climate change (physical risk – non-life underwriting risk),
  • the risk of reduced availability and the risk of excessive prices of reinsurance/retrocession due to increased frequency, severity and interconnectedness of natural catastrophes (physical risk – strategic risk),
  • the risk of loss of income/premiums and poor portfolio diversification due to (re)insurance underwriting restrictions (physical risk – strategic risk),
  • the risk of non-life underwriting strategy and/or rules not taking account of climate change impacts (transition risk – strategic risk).

Climate change risks are also assessed periodically in Sava Re. The key climate risks are:

  • the risk of claims increasing due to a higher frequency and concentration of extreme weather events and natural catastrophes (heat waves, landslides, floods, wildfires, storms, hail) (physical risk – nonlife underwriting risk),
  • the risk of reduced availability and unaffordable retrocession prices due to increased frequency, severity and interconnectedness of natural catastrophes (physical risk – strategic risk),
  • the risk of an increase in the cost of capital due to an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events (physical risk – liquidity risk).

The Group and the Company recognise the importance of the impact of climate change on long-term business performance, and therefore they have included a qualitative and quantitative assessment of climate change risks in the ORSA. The qualitative assessment covers the likelihood and severity of these risks over the long term. The materiality of physical and transition risk exposures was analysed as the basis for the quantitative scenarios in the investment and non-life insurance portfolios, where qualitative analysis indicated that the Group and the Company could experience the greatest impact from climate change.

Taking into account the exposure analysis, three scenarios were constructed, one in the investment portfolio and two in the insurance portfolio. The investment portfolio was tested for the potential adverse impact of the transition to a carbon-free society. Non-life insurance business can be significantly affected by the physical effects of climate change, so the impact of an increase in the frequency and severity of natural catastrophes was tested in the short and long term, focusing on floods (as analyses show that Slovenia is most exposed to this risk in the long term) and hailstorms (indicating that more of these types of events can be expected and that they will be more severe). The shortterm scenario also included a European flood scenario, whereas the long-term scenario took into account the

increased severity of natural catastrophes due to the effects of climate change, in addition to the increased frequency. The scenarios were based on the investment and insurance portfolios in the 2024 business plan.

The robustness of the solvency position of the Group and Sava Re means that both the Group and Sava Re will remain solvent even if such scenarios materialise. But it is essential to monitor developments and assess the implications of both transition and physical risks to enable timely responses and measures. To this end, the ORSA also identifies actions for the future, including improving preparedness and appropriate technology for responding to and handling claims in the event of an increase in the frequency of natural catastrophes, monitoring the impact and making timely adjustments to premium rates and policy conditions, reducing the concentration of risks in certain areas where necessary, improving modelling capabilities and analysing the effects of climate change, participating in industry and scientific initiatives, and raising public awareness of potential risks and promoting preventive measures among policyholders.

Other sustainability risks

In addition to climate change, the Group and Sava Re also monitor other sustainability risks. These are included in the risk register and periodically assessed against other risks. The key sustainability risks of the Company and the Group in 2023, ranked according to their rating in the risk register (from highest to lowest), are set out below:

  • the risk of sustainability-related changes in legislation and their impact on business operations,
  • reputational risk (including the risk of being accused of greenwashing, which has increased due to the uncertainty over the definition of green advertising itself; in 2023, the Group prepared for the first time a sustainability-related disclosure (Statement of Main Adverse Impacts) in its annual report, in line with the requirements of the SFDR; therefore, there is a potential for inadequate or insufficient reporting),

• the risk of opportunity losses for Group companies due to compliance with the restrictions imposed by sustainability policies and other regulations,

• the risk of higher costs due to adapting policies or operations to be environmentally friendly (in line with SFDR, CSRD and other regulations),

• the risk of inadequate or untimely implementation on and reporting in line with sustainability-related legislation.

The Group and the Company estimate that some of the above risks will increase over the strategy period, mainly due to the increased scope and complexity of the new sustainability legislation.

In addition to the above, the Group and the Company monitor other risks that have been assessed as low: • the risk of social and/or financial inequality between

  • the sexes in the Group,
  • the risk of inconsistency or inadequacy of internal rules and policies regarding the Principles of Responsible Investment (PRI),
  • the risk of a non-existent or inadequate whistleblowing protocol, and
  • the risk of changes in sustainability legislation affecting the operations of Group companies and the underwriting of reinsurance business.

In 2023, the Group and the Company included three new sustainability risks in their regular assessment:

  • the risk of failing to meet strategic goals,
  • the risk of failing to identify new opportunities for sustainable development, and
  • the risk of not recognising changes in the environment (with stakeholders) due to the implementation of new legislation and strategies.

Individual companies also monitor other risks relevant to their particular business.

The Group's other intangible assets consist mainly of the assessed value of a customer list of EUR 8,135,290 (2022: EUR 8,537,034) and contractual customer relationships of EUR 3,520,000 (2022: EUR 4,160,000).

Assets in progress relate to new IT solutions acquired, in particular to prepare for the implementation of the new accounting standards IFRS 17 and IFRS 9, and to support the core business of Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Re. The majority of these IT solutions were put into operation in 2023.

Goodwill impairment testing

In the impairment testing of goodwill arising out of the acquired companies listed in the table at the beginning of this section (except for Zavarovalnica Sava), the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit as at 31 December 2023 exceeded the carrying amount including goodwill belonging to the unit for all companies. The assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount are described below. For Zavarovalnica Sava, where the estimated value exceeded the carrying amount by a very large margin, an impairment test was performed to determine whether there were any indications of impairment. As no indications were found, no valuation was necessary.

The cash flows are derived from the strategic plans of the companies constituting the cash-generating units. The companies' plans have been approved by the parent company and adopted by the companies' governing bodies. The supervisory board of Sava Re d.d. adopted the business plan of the Sava Insurance Group for 2024 on 13 December 2023. The business plans of the Group companies were prepared on the basis of the following key strategic directions:

  • premium growth in relation to past performance, expected GDP growth and the level of development of the insurance sector in Slovenia and abroad,
  • growth in assets under management of the pension and mutual fund management company in relation to the macroeconomic environment, demographic trends, projected trends in inflows and outflows, and returns in relation to expected developments in the financial markets,
  • growth in assistance services revenue in relation to the macroeconomic environment, the market conditions and the expected demand for assistance services,
  • improved cost effectiveness in all companies,
  • a target combined ratio in line with the specifics of the Slovenian and non-Slovenian non-life segments,
  • a target new business margin for life insurance, and
  • a return on investments in relation to the expected developments in financial markets.

The valuations used a long-term growth rate (g) of the risk-free rate of return (2.3%) to estimate the residual value beyond the projection period.

The discount rate methodology is explained in section 16.4.7 "Goodwill".

In 2023, deferred tax assets and liabilities were accounted for using tax rates that the management believes will be used to tax the differences. Tax has been accounted for at the statutory rates applicable to each Group company. The tax rate applicable to most Group companies (Slovenia) is 19%, valid until 31 December 2023. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are restated

at the new rate of 22% effective from 1 January 2024 (2022: 19%), and 9%–18% for other companies (Croatia 18%, Serbia 15%, Kosovo and North Macedonia 10%, Montenegro – a progressive scale of 9%–15% applies). The following table shows the restatement to the new tax rate for the Slovenia-based companies.

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 long-term 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 table below shows income and expenses relating to investment contracts in 2023.

Profit or loss realised from investment contract assets is fully recognised in investment contract liabilities.

Expected cash flows in this disclosure include only contractually determined periodic premiums, single premiums and additional payments received in the year of contract recognition. Incurred claims and other insurance service expenses include only outflows for surrender arising from contractually determined periodic premiums and lump-sum and additional payments received in the year of recognition.

The expected cash inflows and expected cash outflows presented in this note do not include all expected cash inflows. Higher inflows correspond to higher outflows, and therefore the net effect is negligible.

The main assumptions used in the calculation of provisions for jubilee benefits and severance pay upon retirement are as follows: The interest rate curves used for discounting are those published by EIOPA for the calculation of capital adequacy. The expected increase in salaries and jubilee benefits is calculated using real growth based on historical data for individual companies (Sava Re: 0.8%) and long-term inflation of 2.5%.

The expected early departure rates used vary by age group and are based on the historical departure rates of each company (Sava Re: 3.1% under 35 years, 3.9% between 35 and 45 years, 5.3% over 45 years). Expected mortality is determined on the basis of the population mortality tables of the country of incorporation of each Group company.

Below we provide a sensitivity analysis of the provision for severance pay upon retirement and the provision for jubilee
benefits.

As at 31 December 2023, a large proportion of the debt securities portfolio is valued at the CBBT bid price, which represents the unadjusted quoted price and thus meets the criteria for a tier 1 classification. Mutual funds and listed equity securities that meet the criteria of an active market, as well as debt securities valued at BVAL bid prices that meet the relevant price quality criteria, are also classified into this level.

As at 31 December 2023, level 1 investments represented 88.8% (31 December 2022: 87%) of the value of financial investments measured at fair value.

Debt securities for which no CBBT bid price exists at the classification date, but a BVAL bid price of lower quality is available, are classified into Level 2. We classify into the same Level investments valued based on an

internal model that uses 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. Equity securities valued using stock exchange prices that meet the criteria for a non-functioning market are also classified into this Level.

The Group classifies into Level 3 shares measured at cost, loans granted measured at amortised cost and investments in alternative funds, such as real-estate funds, infrastructure funds, private debt funds, private equity funds and the like. There are no market prices available for such investments; therefore, valuation based on available market data is not possible.

The Group classifies into Level 3 its investments in alternative funds, such as real-estate funds, infrastructure funds, private debt funds, private equity funds and similar. Alternative funds are valued by fund managers in the form of fund unit values or as the value of invested assets, being the best approximation of fair value. Assets are valued based on material non-public information on assets invested in funds. The Group has only limited access to input data as used by fund managers,

which is why the Group does not carry out own valuations nor is it possible for the Group to run sensitivity analyses.

In order to value fund assets, managers of such funds generally use methods that comply with International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation standards, such as discounting of cash flows and the multiples method.

Valuation techniques for all items described above are
defined in accounting policies. The method is described
for investment property in section 16.4.12 "Investment
property", for investments in subsidiaries and associ
ates in section 16.4.13 "Investments in subsidiaries and
associates" and for financial investments in section
16.4.14 "Financial investments".

The fair value of the Company's investment property as at 31 December 2023 was EUR 10,007,145 (2022: EUR 9,997,159), that of the Group at EUR 28,591,968 (2022: 25,680,767). The Company and the Group classify investment property as level 3 assets.

The Group's investment return for 2023 was EUR 78.4 million and includes the return on investments supporting the liabilities of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk (direct participating contracts).

The return on the investments supporting the liabilities of life policyholders who bear the investment risk in 2023 was EUR 56.0 million (31 December 2022: EUR -60.9 million). The majority of the return relates to the change in the fair value of unit-linked life insurance mutual funds (31 December 2023: EUR 55.4 million, 31 December 2022: EUR -61.1 million). The majority of this return has no impact on profit or loss, as accordingly finance expenses on unit-linked life insurance contracts have also been recognised.

The return on the Group's investments for 2023, net of exchange differences and net of the return on investments supporting the liabilities of life policyholders who bear the investment risk, is EUR 27.9 million. The largest part of this is interest income of EUR 21.9 million, reflecting financial conditions that allow for highyield investments.

The net investment income of Sava Re in 2023 was EUR 2.3 million (2022: EUR 3.2 million). The net investment income was lower in 2023, mainly due to negative exchange differences. Excluding exchange differences, the 2023 return of EUR 7.8 million is higher than the 2022 return of EUR 1.8 million, mainly due to higher interest income and fair value gains on investments at fair value through profit or loss.

APPENDICES (unaudited)

Appendix A – Glossary of selected terms and calculation methodologies for indicators

Adriatic region. Southeast European countries along the Adriatic Sea.

Assets under management. Assets of pension companies' pension funds, assets of mutual funds managed by the Group's asset management company and assets of policyholders who bear the investment risk.

Book value per share. Ratio of total equity to the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

Business volume. Gross premiums written and revenue of non-insurance services.

Combined ratio. The sum of the loss ratio and the expense ratio. The Group's ratio is calculated for the reinsurance and non-life insurance operating segments. Sava Re's ratio does not include expenses arising from holding activities.

For the transition to IFRS 17, the Group has retained the existing net/net methodology for calculating the combined ratio. During 2023, in line with the approach of other comparable insurance companies, the Group decided to change its methodology to a net/gross calculation of the combined ratio, which is also consistent with the presentation of the income statement in accordance with IFRS 17. The revised methodology has been applied for the first time in this year's annual report. Under the new methodology, the net reinsurance expenses are included in the numerator, while the denominator includes insurance service revenue net of the deductible reinsurance portion. Calculations using the new methodology slightly deteriorate the combined ratio, but the previous year's combined ratio is also restated for comparison.

Contractual service margin (CSM). An estimate of the unearned profit on groups of insurance contracts that has not been recognised in the income statement at a reporting date because it relates to future services.

Cost-to-income ratio (CIR). Expense ratio for the pensions and asset management segment. It is calculated as the ratio of revenue to expenses.

Dividend yield. Ratio of dividend per share to the rolling average price per share in the 12-month period.

Emerging risks. New or previously identified risks that arise in new or unknown circumstances and whose impact is not fully known.

Euro Interbank Offered Rate (EURIBOR). This is the average reference interest rate at which banks in the euro area lend money to each other.

Exchange traded fund (ETF). Closed-end investment fund.

Expense ratio. Attributable expenses plus non-attributable expenses plus net operating income or expenses plus net other income or expenses plus net impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses on non-financial assets as a percentage of insurance revenue. The Group's ratio is calculated for the reinsurance and non-life insurance operating segments. Sava Re's ratio does not include expenses arising from holding activities.

FVTPL investments. Financial investments measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Gross premiums written. The total premiums on all policies written or renewed during a given period, regardless of what portions have been earned.

Highly liquid assets. These include L1A assets (ECB methodology), investments in US treasuries, investments in sovereign and supranational issuers with a credit rating of at least "AA+", and cash and cash equivalents.

Interbank Offered Rate (IBOR). This is the average reference interest rate at which

banks lend money to each other (e.g. LIBOR, EURIBOR, etc.).

Investment portfolio. It consists of financial investments, investments in associates, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents. It does not include investments of policyholders who bear the investment risk.

Loss ratio. Insurance service expenses, excluding operating expenses, plus net result from reinsurance contracts held as a percentage of insurance revenue. The Group's ratio is calculated for the reinsurance and non-life insurance operating segments.

Net contractual service margin. Contractual service margin, net of reinsurance.

Net earnings or loss per share. Ratio of net profit or loss attributable to equity holders of the controlling company as a percentage of the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The Company and the Group have no potentially dilutive ordinary shares, therefore basic earnings per share equal diluted earnings per share.

Net investment income of the investment portfolio. The investment result plus the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates. Calculated excluding returns on life insurance policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, the impact of exchange differences and expenses on subordinate debt. NSLT – health business. Health insurance business pursued on a similar technical basis as non-life insurance.

ORSA (Own Risk and Solvency Assessment). Own assessment of the risks associated with a company's or the Group's business and strategic plan, and assessment of the adequacy of own funds to cover them.

Return on equity. Net profit for the period as a percentage of average equity during the period, excluding accumulated other comprehensive income.

Return on the investment portfolio. The ratio of net investment income from the investment portfolio to average invested assets. The investment portfolio position includes the following items of the statement of financial position: investment property; investments in associates and subsidiaries; financial investments, excluding unit-linked assets; and cash and cash equivalents other than those relating to unitlinked life insurance contracts. The average amount is calculated based on figures as at the reporting date and as at the end of the prior year. SCR. Solvency capital requirement.

SLT – health business. Health insurance pursued on a similar technical basis as life insurance.

Solvency ratio. The ratio of eligible own funds as a percentage of the SCR. A solvency ratio in excess of 100% indicates that the firm has sufficient resources to meet the solvency capital requirement.

Total share return. Ratio of the share price at the end of the period, including the

dividend, to the share price at the end of the previous period. Ultimate loss. Total loss after all claims have been paid. Before the final settlement, the estimate of the ultimate loss includes reported claims and provisions for claims incurred but not reported (IBNR).
