Sava Insurance Group

unaudited results

March 2023

Highlights of 2022

Growth of 6.1% in GPW – mostly in motor insurance due to the growth in the number of policies sold and the average premium; premiums also grew in the reinsurance segment due to positive price movements in global reinsurance markets and in the international life segment, mainly due to the new bank sales channel

Net profit of €68.2 million (2021: €76.2 million); -10.4% compared to 2021, 13.7% above target

  • Negative impact on claims: increase in claims paid and claims provisions due to claims inflation, storms and the rise in motor claims frequency in Slovenia following the easing of Covid-19 measures
  • Positive impact on underwriting result: improvement in FoS business result, results of subsidiaries outside Slovenia and reinsurance
  • Impact on investment result: unfavourable developments in the financial markets affected the result of the Slovenian pension company and the investment result due to fair value changes of FVTPL assets

Standard & Poor's and AM Best's "A" ratings, stable outlook, affirmed

23 June 2022: dividend of €1.50 per share approved, representing a dividend yield of 5.9%

December 2022: new five-year strategy of the Sava Insurance Group published

2022 financial position

€ million 31/12/2021 31/12/2022 Growth/decline
2022/2021
Group
Total assets 2,658.3 2,534.0 -4.7%
Shareholders' equity 504.1 412.0 -18.3%
Net technical provisions 1,703.9 1,683.7 -1.2%
Book value per share (€) 32.53 26.58 -18.3%

The decrease in the above items is mainly due to the adverse developments in the financial markets. The rise in interest rates had a significant impact on the decrease in investments and on the negative fair value reserve within equity, while the falls in equity markets had the greatest impact on investments and technical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk (excluding these provisions, net technical provisions increased by 0.4%).
