Notes:

-For details on the calculation of ratios and the net investment income, see the glossary appended to this report.

-The net investment income of the investment portfolio does not include the net investment income from assets pertaining to policyholders who bear the investment risk since such assets do not affect the income statement. The mathematical provision of policyholders who bear the investment risk moves in line with this line item.

-In the period 1–9/2016, reinsurance segment exchange differences had a negative impact of € 0.4 million on the investment result and a negative impact of € 0.06 million on the underwriting result, which indicates that the Company is following a strict asset-liability currency management policy. In the period 1–9/2015, the impact on profit was a positive one of € 0.1 million.

The table below compares actual figures against figures planned for the full year 2016:

(€ million) 1–9/2016 Plan 2016 As % of plan
Consolidated gross premiums written 390.5 487.9 80.0 %
Net profit/loss for the period 22.6 33.4 67.7 %
Annualised return on equity 10.2 % 11.6 %
Net combined ratio, excluding the effect of exchange differences 96.4 % 94.8 %
Net incurred loss ratio, excluding the effect of exchange
differences
61.2 % 58.2 %
Net expense ratio, excluding the effect of exchange differences 32.4 % 33.2 %
Annualised return on the investment portfolio, excluding
exchange differences
2.3 % 2.1 %

*The net combined and the net incurred loss ratios have been calculated for the reinsurance and non-life operating segments.

Since exchange differences were not considered in the plan, the table shows ratios excluding the effect of exchange differences.

The annualised return on equity was slightly lower than planned for the full year 2016 as a result of a deterioration in the net incurred loss ratio. Despite certain deviations, the Company is not revising its projections for the full year 2016.

General meeting of shareholders

The general meeting of shareholders was convened twice in the nine months to 30 September 2016.

The general meeting was convened on 21 April 2016 to be held on 24 May 2016. However, the management board, in cooperation with the supervisory board, cancelled the general meeting on 23 May 2016. The management and supervisory boards decided to cancel and as a result postpone the general meeting so as to be able to provide answers to the general meeting regarding the transaction to purchase the ACH property at Baraga 5 in Ljubljana, the verification of which would not have been completed by the then scheduled date.

In accordance with the new notice, the 31st general meeting was held on 30 August 2016. Among other things, the general meeting was presented the annual report for 2015, including the auditor's opinion and written report of the supervisory board to the annual report, and the annual report on internal auditing for 2015 with the opinion of the supervisory board thereto. Furthermore, the general meeting was informed of the remuneration of the members of management and supervisory bodies and of the management report on own shares. The general meeting resolved that part of distributable profit in the amount of € 12,398,156.80 be appropriated for dividends, while the remaining part of distributable profit of € 8,365,277.91 be left unappropriated. The general meeting discharged both the management and the supervisory boards from their liability for the financial year 2015. The general meeting appointed the auditing firm Ernst & Young d.o.o., Dunajska 111, Ljubljana, as auditor for the financial years 2016–2018. Furthermore, the general meeting approved the proposed amendments to the articles of association and passed a resolution amending remuneration for the members of the supervisory board and its committees. In addition, the general meeting took note of both the change in the supervisory board members representing employee interests and the review of the transaction to purchase the ACH property at Ljubljana, Baragova 5.

1.4 Significant events in the nine months to 30 September 2016

MERGER-RELATED EVENTS

  • On 6 May 2016 the management boards of the EU-based Sava Re Group insurers (Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia, Velebit osiguranje, Velebit životno osiguranje) involved in a merger process signed a Cross-border Merger Plan and Merger Contract. On 13 May 2016 the supervisory boards of all four companies approved the contract, together with a joint report of the management boards on the merger and cross-border merger, and an auditor's opinion on the exchange ratio issued by the audit firm BDO revizija d.o.o.

  • On 23 September 2016 the Insurance Supervision Agency granted authorisation for the merger of the insurance companies, including the merger of Zavarovalnica Tilia and the cross-border merger of the companies Velebit osiguranje and Velebit životno osiguranje into Zavarovalnica Maribor.

GOVERNANCE-RELATED EVENTS

In its session of 23 February 2016, the workers' council of Sava Re was presented with and accepted the notice of resignation of Helen Dretnik as member of the supervisory board representing employee interests. Helena Dretnik had handed in her notice of resignation on 19 February 2016 with effect from the same date. Until the appointment of a new member of the supervisory board representing employee interests, the supervisory board of Sava Re operated as a five-member body. In accordance with the Workers' Participation in Management Act, the workers' council, in its session of 29 March 2016, appointed Mateja Živec as its new

representative in the supervisory board. The member so appointed entered her term of office on 1 April 2016.

  • In August 2016 Sava Re received a letter from the Insurance Supervision Agency (ISA) notifying the Company of its intention to order supervisory measures and noting that Branko Tomažič, chairman of the Company's supervisory board, failed to meet all of the conditions for appointment as member of the Company's supervisory board.
  • In its extraordinary session of 22 August 2016, the supervisory board of Sava Re recalled Zvonko Ivanušič from the position of both chairman and member of the Company's management board as of 23 August 2016. The supervisory board appointed management board member Jošt Dolničar as temporary chairman of the management board as of 23 August 2016, and adopted a decision by which the management board was to be composed of three members effective 23 August 2016. The supervisory board immediately began the process of selecting a new chairman of the management board.

OTHER EVENTS

  • In their session of 6 April 2016, the supervisory and management boards of Sava Re drew up a proposal for the general meeting providing for a dividend – relating to 2015 profit – of € 0.80 gross per share, of which € 0.65 gross per share would comprise the regular dividend (representing an 18-percent increase over the 2014 dividend) and € 0.15 gross per share would comprise an extraordinary dividend. The management board of Sava Re cancelled the 31st general meeting to be held on 24 May 2016 and in July 2016 reconvened it for 30 August 2016.
  • In April 2016, Sava Re carried out a share repurchase procedure on the OTC market. After the process of sending offers was closed, the Company set the price (€ 15) and purchase volume of POSR shares (845,599) to be repurchased. From 1 April to 22 April 2016, Sava Re purchased a total of 895,796 own shares for a total amount of € 13.4 million in both the regulated and OTC markets. The total number of own shares after the purchases was 1,721,966, which represents 10.0 % less one share of the Company's issued share capital. There were no more share buybacks after 22 April 2016, as the general meeting authorisation was limited to 10 % minus one share of the share capital.
  • In early May 2016, after obtaining the required approvals from the National Bank of Serbia, the Serbian insurer Sava osiguranje Belgrade assumed the entire portfolio of the insurer AS osiguranje Belgrade.
  • In July after its regular annual rating review, rating agency Standard & Poor's reaffirmed Sava Re's existing "A-" ratings with a stable outlook. The ratings reflect the Company's improved business risk profile, its long-term stability and financial soundness.
  • On 30 August 2016 the 31 general meeting was held, with no challenging actions announced.
  • In August, the north-eastern and central parts of Slovenia were hit by a storm. Related losses for the Sava Re Group are currently estimated at € 7 million.

1.5 Significant events after the reporting period

On 11 October 2016, the Company received a notice of resignation from Branko Tomažič as president and member of the supervisory board, effective as of that day. His functions in other supervisory board committees ceased as of the same day. Until further steps are taken, the supervisory board is operating with five members. On 12 October 2016 the members of the supervisory board of Sava Re, d.d., elected from among themselves Mateja Lovšin Herič as chair of the supervisory board and Slaven Mićković as deputy chair. As of 12 October 2016, Keith Morris was appointed new member of the supervisory board nomination committee. As of 28 October 2016, Slaven Mićković was appointed chairman of the audit committee of the supervisory board (previously audit committee member), and Mateja Lovšin Herič was appointed member of the audit committee (previously chair of the audit committee). As of 28 October 2016, Mateja Živec was appointed new member and chair of the supervisory board fit and proper committee.

  • On 14 October 2016 the Company received a claim filed by Zvonko Ivanušič with the Ljubljana District Court for annulment of the supervisory board resolution on his recall from the position of chairman and member of the management board, annulment of entry of the change of representatives into the court register, reinstatement as chairman of the management board and payment of non-pecuniary damages. Prior to that, the Company had already received a claim filed by Zvonko Ivanušič with the Labour and Social Court in Ljubljana for wrongful termination (termination of both employment contract and employment relationship), also requesting full reinstatement.
  • On 19 October 2016 the Slovenian Constitutional Court with respect to the cancellation of subordinated financial instruments – held that while the disputed Banking Act formally allowed the holders of cancelled shares and subordinated bonds of banks to bring claims against the Bank of Slovenia, this form of judicial protection proved ineffective because claimants had no access to information with which to assess the value of bank assets and other relevant data based on which the Bank of Slovenia imposed emergency measures relating to qualified liabilities of banks, resulting in the cancellation of banking shares and subordinated bonds. Furthermore, the law provided no procedural rules nor collective judicial protection procedures to facilitate fair decision-making in disputes between expropriated share- and bondholders and the Bank of Slovenia. Therefore, the Constitutional Court ordered the Slovenian National Assembly to pass – within six months of the publication of the decision – legislation that would allow the constitutionally consistent and effective enforcement of the right to justice for all claims already filed as well as future claims for damages relating to the cancellation of shares and bonds, and extend the limitation period for such claims. The total absolute value of cancelled subordinated instruments is € 10,038,000 for Sava Re, € 22,957,200 for Zavarovalnica Sava, and € 4.965.000 for Moja naložba. All these Sava Re Group companies will continue activities to protect their interests.
  • On 2 November the process of combinint the four insurance companies Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia, Velebit osiguranje and Velebit životno osiguranje –, all members of the Sava Re Group, was officially completed.

Net inv. income of the investment portfolio

In the period 1–9/2016, the Group's net investment income from its investment portfolio totalled € 17.8 million, down € 2.0 million year-on-year. The decline in the net investment income was mainly the result of lower net exchange differences and lower interest income (€ 1.0 million) due to the low interest rates at which funds are (re)invested.

Since exchange differences have no significant impact on the income statement because exchange differences on the assets side are offset by exchange differences on the liabilities side, it is more meaningful as regards impact on profit to look at the net investment income, excluding exchange differences. The effect of exchange differences on the income statement in 1–9/2016 totalled € –0.4 million.

Excluding the impact of exchange differences, the net investment income of the investment portfolio in the period is € 18.2 million, up € 0.4 million year-on-year.

Income, expenses and the net investment income related to the investment portfolio

In the period 1–9/2016, investment income totalled € 24.5 million, down € 4.5 million year-on-year; excluding exchange differences, investment income declined by € 0.5 million. The largest part of income is interest income, which amounted to € 16.0 million in the period 1–9/2016, down € 1.0 million year-on-year.

In the period 1–9/2016 expenses relating to the investment portfolio increased year-on-year by € 2.5 million, but decreased by € 0.8 million on elimination of exchange differences. In addition to exchange losses, the largest contributors to expenses were interest on loans and expenses arising from changes in market prices.

Consolidated gross profit/loss

Composition of consolidated gross profit

*Other includes gross profit of the "other" segment.

In 1–9/2016, exchange differences had a significant impact on the composition of the result, so below we set out results, excluding the effect of exchange differences. The impact of exchange differences on the result by operating segment was as follows: negative effect on the underwriting result of € 0.06 million (1–9/2015: € 1.9 million negative effect); negative effect on the investment result of € 0.4 million (1–9/2015: € 2.0 million positive effect). The total negative effect of exchange differences on the result of 1–9/2016 amounted to € 0.5 million (1–9/2015: € 0.1 million positive effect).

Composition of the gross consolidated result (excluding the effect of exchange differences)

*Other includes gross profit of the "other" segment.

The underwriting result in the period 1–9/2016 was better than last year mainly as a result of a stronger underwriting result in the reinsurance segment. The investment result (excluding the effect of exchange differences) remained at approximately the same level, while the result of the life segment also improved slightly, mainly due to the better result of Zavarovalnica Maribor (fewer maturity payments and surrenders).

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement by operating segment

Following is an overview of results by operating segment.

3 SEGMENT REPORTING

Business is presented by operating segments (non-life insurance, life insurance, reinsurance business and the "other" segment) and by geography (Slovenia and international). "Slovenia" includes Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia and Moja naložba, while "international" includes the other subsidiaries. The reinsurance segment was not broken down geographically, as – after the elimination of transactions with Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia and Moja naložba – the majority of the remaining transactions relate to Sava Re's business in international reinsurance markets.

In addition to said segment breakdown, the segment reporting information also reflects the effects of consolidation elimination and reallocation of certain income statement items:

  • In the consolidation process, reinsurance effects were reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments (Sava Re as the controlling company handles the reinsurance of most risks of the subsidiaries within the Sava Re Group): in the segment reporting information, reinsurance premiums received by the reinsurer from the subsidiaries were reallocated to the segment from where they arose (the same applies by analogy to reinsurance-related claims, commission income, change in unearned premiums, claims provisions and deferred acquisition costs). In the elimination process, the portion of business retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers was not allocated to the non-life and life segments. Retrocession-related expenses usually exceed income (except in the case of catastrophe claims). To provide a more adequate presentation of segment profitability, the result of the retroceded business was also allocated to the segment to which it related (non-life or life). All said items were adjusted only in the part relating to the risks of subsidiaries retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers.
  • Other operating expenses of the reinsurance segment were reduced by the portion of expenses attributable to the administration of the Sava Re Group. Sava Re operates as a virtual holding company, so a part of its expenses relates to the administration of the Group. Such expenses of the reinsurance segment were allocated to other segments based on gross premiums written. Other operating expenses include costs relating to the management of the Group. In the period 1–9/2016, Sava Re allocated 45.5 % of other operating expenses to operating segments as monitored (non-life and life insurance business) by premium structure (1–9/2015: 46.8 %).

This is the first time that the Company discloses under segment reporting the effects of reallocations of investment income and expenses. Investment income and expenses are reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life insurance and life insurance segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters). A reallocation has been carried out also for 1–9/2015.

In the statement of financial position, the following adjustments were made in addition to the eliminations made in the consolidation process:

  • Intangible assets goodwill was allocated to the segment from which it arose (reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments depending on which subsidiary it related to).
  • In the statement of financial position by operating segment at 30 September 2016, the Company reallocated financial investments for the first time. The balance of financial investments was reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life insurance and life insurance segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters). A reallocation has also been carried out for the balance at 31 December 2015.
  • Reinsurers' share of technical provisions (reinsurers' share of unearned premiums, claims provisions and other provisions) and deferred acquisition costs – in the same way as described in point one of adjustments to income statement items.
  • Equity was reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments based on the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries (the sum total of carrying amounts of non-life insurers was reallocated to the non-life segment, and that of life insurers was reallocated to the life segment).

Following is a brief commentary on the results of each operating segment.

3.1 Reinsurance business

The income statement and statement of financial position by segment are shown in the notes to the financial statements, where in in section 8.7 the reinsurance segment comprises the reinsurance business of Sava Re written outside the Sava Re Group.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business

The performance of this operating segment is impacted by exchange differences, which is why the underwriting and investment results are not directly comparable. The impact of exchange differences is set out in section 2 "Consolidated gross profit/loss" and refers to the reinsurance segment shown here.

The following graph shows profits, excluding the impact of exchange differences.

The underwriting result, excluding exchange differences, was stronger than in the same period of 2015 (combined ratio 1–9/2016: 94.6 %; 1–9/2015: 101.0 %). In 2015, the underwriting result was negative mainly because of claims from abroad. The investment result (excluding the effect of exchange differences) for the period 1–9/2016 was also higher than the year-on-year figure, primarily due to lower interest expenses and smaller losses on the disposal of investments.

Net earned premiums 69,054,615 61,440,190 112.4

Gross premiums written in this segment declined slightly year-on-year in 1–9/2016. The drop is due to lower premium income written abroad (mainly in South Korea the USA), which is partly due to the soft market prevailing in international reinsurance markets and the resulting more selective underwriting.

Despite the drop in gross premiums written, net premiums earned increased year-on-year in 1– 9/2016. The change in net unearned premiums for the period 1–9/2016 (an increase compared to the end of the prior year) was lower than the year-on-year figure because of slightly slower growth in new business from abroad.

In Slovenia, the Company transacts mostly intra-Group business; therefore, the amounts of all categories of the reinsurance segment (extra-Group business) are relatively small.

Net claims incurred 45,731,049 44,173,616 103.5

Consolidated gross reinsurance claims increased year-on-year in 1–9/2016 mainly due to claim payments relating to previous underwriting years. Yet the paid loss ratio remained favourable (1– 9/2016: 55.4 %; 1–9/2015: 48.6 %).

The change in the net provision for outstanding claims (including the impact of exchange differences) declined year-on-year in 1–9/2016 because in 2015 provisions for outstanding claims were set aside for the catastrophe event in China (explosion). Claims provisions increased because of the established claims provisions for underwriting year 2016 in respect of which – due to the soft reinsurance market globally – higher incurred loss ratios are expected. The change in the net claims provision was also affected by exchange differences, which had a positive effect on the 1–9/2016 profit (€ +0.5 million), whereas in 1–9/2015 the effect was a negative one (€ -2.4 million).

The net incurred loss ratio (including exchange differences) of the reinsurance segment for the period 1–9/2016 of 65.5 % improved by 10.4 percentage points compared to the same period last year. Excluding exchange differences, the ratio improved by only 6.4 percentage points.

In 1–9/2016 acquisition costs increased by 1.1 %. The proportion of acquisition costs as a percentage of premiums increased year-on-year by 0.3 percentage points and was 21.9 %.

In 1–9/2016 the change in deferred acquisition costs was smaller than the year-on-year figure, mainly reflecting the smaller volume of premiums and, consequently, smaller increase in acquisition costs in the period 1–9/2016 over 1–9/2015 compared to the increase in 1–9/2015 over 1–9/2014. The mechanisms are much the same as the effect of the movement in gross premiums written on the movement of unearned premiums.

Other operating expenses increased by 13.3 % mainly due to growth in personnel costs (recruitment at Sava Re and the impact of interim recruitment in the previous year) and consulting services (mainly owing to the merger of the group's EU-based insurers).

Net investment income

Given that the exchange differences mainly relate to Sava Re and their impact does not fully affect profit or loss, the graph above shows the net investment income of the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences.

Compared to the same period last year, the reinsurance segment's net investment income of the investment portfolio increased by € 0.3 million. This year-on-year growth in net investment income was mainly the result of lower interest expenses and smaller losses on the disposal of investments.

3.2 Non-life insurance business

The non-life insurance segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

  • Zavarovalnica Maribor, non-life
  • Zavarovalnica Tilia, non-life
  • Sava Montenegro
  • Sava osiguranje Belgrade
  • Sava osiguruvanje Skopje
  • Velebit osiguranje
  • Illyria

Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 8.7 "Analysis of operating segments".

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; non-life insurance business

The consolidated net result of the non-life insurance segment deteriorated year-on-year in 1–9/2016. The net result of the Group's Slovenian insurers declined by 19.1 %, while the result of the Group's international non-life operations dropped by 4.3 %. The reason for the weaker performance of the Slovenian non-life insurers is mainly the weaker underwriting result of Zavarovalnica Maribor. This is largely because of reserve strengthening relating to the hail storm event in August 2016, which impacted the portfolio of the insurer. An additional provision of € 4.1 million was set aside for this event. Furthermore, € 1.5 million was reserved for the Impol claim.

The underwriting result of the non-domestic non-life insurers deteriorated by € 0.5 million. The largest impact on the overall deterioration in the underwriting result of the non-Slovenian based non-life insurers came from the weaker underwriting result at Sava Montenegro and was due to the increase in its gross claims provision. In the previous year, the company produced a very strong underwriting result so this year, although weaker, it is still favourable and the best among the non-Slovenian non-life insurers in the Sava Re Group.

The investment result of Slovenian non-life insurers deteriorated by € 0.4 million as a result of lower interest income (low interest rates in capital markets) and lower gains on the disposal of investments. Nevertheless, the investment result of the non-Slovenia based insurers remained at the 2015 level.

In the period 1–9/2016 gross premiums written in Slovenia increased by 2.4 %, mainly owing to higher non-life insurance premiums at Zavarovalnica Maribor as a result of an increased volume of credit, motor, property and liability business. Zavarovalnica Tilia, in contrast, recorded a weaker yearon-year growth in non-life premiums of 0.4 % in 1–9/2016. The slowdown is due to slower growth in motor business. In the period, the Slovenian insurance market recorded a 2.2 % growth in non-life business, while the combined life premiums of Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia grew by 2.4 %. Of the non-Slovenian insurers, all non-life insurers posted year-on-year premium growth, except the Kosovan non-life company. Growth was largely the result of increased cooperation with external sales channels, intensified marketing, better productivity of the own sales network and the opening of new branch offices. The Kosovan insurer recorded a 14.7 % fall in premiums due to the entry of two new insurers into the Kosovan market in 2015, leading to fierce competition and the halving of border premiums. The total increase in non-Slovenian consolidated gross premiums written amounted to 4.0 %.

Gross claims paid for Slovenian business in the period 1–9/2016 were lower mainly due to the decline in gross claims paid at Zavarovalnica Maribor relating to property business. This is because the company made major claim payments in 2015 relating to the 2014 ice and flood losses in the amount of € 7.9 million, while in 2016 there were only € 1.4 million paid for floods and € 2.0 million relating to the Impol claim. There was a moderate increase in the gross claims of Tilia in the period 1–9/2016 compared to the same period last year, particularly in motor business.

Gross claims of non-Slovenian insurers were up by 10.2 % mainly due to growth in claims of the nonlife insurers in Croatia, Serbia and Kosovo. The claims at the Croatian non-life insurer increased mainly as a result of an increase in premium volume, in fact, the claims ratio improved year-on-year. The Serbian non-life insurer, by contrast, saw an rise in claims because of the portfolio assumption from AS osiguranje. Excluding the claims relating to AS osiguranje, the Serbian non-life claims would have increased by 5.8 %. In Kosovo most of the claims related to motor and health business.

Total consolidated operating expenses for non-life insurance business increased by 3.8 %, mainly because of increases in both other operating expenses and acquisition costs. Consolidated acquisition costs rose by 4.7 % due to the growth in consolidated non-life premiums and the related increase in commissions for agents. Other operating expenses increased primarily as a result of growth in personnel costs due to the establishment of a new sales system, the expansion of the own sales network, marketing activities and costs associated with the merger.

The consolidated gross expense ratio for Slovenian companies dropped by 0.4 percentage points as a result of the increase in gross non-life premiums.

Foreign non-life insurers increased the consolidated gross expense ratio by 1.9 percentage points due to higher other operating expenses and acquisition costs.

The gross life insurance premiums written in Slovenia in the period 1–9/2016 are lower than in the previous year as both Slovenian insurers recorded a decline. The life insurance portfolio shrank because new business was not sufficient to offset expired business (through maturities or terminations). In the period the Slovenian insurance market recorded a 4.9 % fall in life business, while the combined life premiums of Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia dropped by 2.1 %.

All Group non-Slovenian life insurers recorded growth in gross premiums. The Serbian insurer Sava životno osiguranje generated the largest growth. All three non-Slovenian life insurers have been implementing measures to improve their own sales network through regular training events for sales personnel, measures that have already translated into larger and better portfolios.

*These provisions mainly comprise mathematical provisions.

The decline in gross life insurance claims paid in Slovenia is due to the decline in claims of Zavarovalnica Maribor because of lower year-on-year claim payments relating to maturities as well as fewer surrenders and accelerated benefits. In contrast, Zavarovalnica Tilia paid more claims based on maturities and death benefits year-on-year in the period 1–9/2016, as well as some surrenders of significant amounts. The change in other technical provisions increased due to an increase in the mathematical provisions of Zavarovalnica Maribor (€ 5.3 million). Generally, mathematical provisions increase as new business is written and decrease as claims are paid out. Since this year there were fewer surrenders than last year, this year's decrease in mathematical provisions was lower than in the previous year; therefore, the change in other technical provisions in 1–9/2016 was larger than in 1–9/2015.

The Slovenian insurers saw a significant year-on-year change in technical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk as a result of rising mutual fund prices.

The growth in gross claims of the foreign insurers is mainly due to the increase in the claims of the Kosovan company, which this year recorded an increased number of surrenders after a large number of policies qualified for surrender.

The increase in acquisition expenses for life business is primarily a result of both the growth in insurance business outside Slovenia and the inclusion of Moja naložba in the consolidated accounts in the year (in 1–9/2016 Moja naložba incurred € 0.8 million in operating expenses).

The increase in consolidated other operating expenses is also due to the inclusion of Moja naložba in the consolidated statements. If Moja naložba is excluded from other operating expenses for the period 1–9/2016, these expenses are 17.3 % smaller.

Compared to the prior year, the consolidated gross expense ratio increased by 1.2 percentage points for the Slovenian companies, which is the result of reduced gross life expenses as both the Slovenian insurance companies reduced other operating expenses, while the effect of Moja naložba on the consolidated accounts is negligible.

In the non-Slovenian insurers, the consolidated gross expense ratio fell by 6.3 percentage points, both thanks to premium growth as well as cost management.

Net investment income

Income, expenses and the net investment income related to the investment portfolio (€)

The net investment income relating to the investment portfolio of life insurance business rose year-on-year by € 0.4 million. Income (€ +0.6 million) in the period under review increased also as a result of the income on pension business, which had been included in the life segment as from 1 January 2016. In the reporting period, the Group's expenses for the investment portfolio totalled € 0.7 million, up € 0.1 million year-on-year. Expenses were higher primarily because of the larger realised fair value losses on investments in the FVPL category (€ -0.1 million) and losses on the disposal of investments (€ -0.1 million).

The return on the life investment portfolio dropped by 0.2 percentage points from the yearon-year figure, despite the increase in the net investment income. The reason is that the absolute amount of investments increased year-on-year in the reporting period.

Sava Re Group investment portfolio by class of asset1

At 30 September the investment portfolio of the Group totalled € 1.1 billion, an increase of € 45.0 million over year-end 2015.

The increase of the investment portfolio was mainly driven by the positive cash flow from (re)insurance business and fair-value gains on investments and the change in accrued interest.

Composition of the Sava Re Group investment portfolio as at 31Dec 2015 and 30 Sep 2016

1 Effective as of 1 January 2016 the Company changed the recording of demand deposits under cash and cash equivalents (in 2015 shown under the deposit item).

Composition of fixed-income investments at 31 Dec 2015 and 30 Sep 2016

In terms of asset allocation compared to year-end 2015, the share of deposits declined by 2.9 percentage points, while the share of investments in covered bonds increased (0.5 percentage points). The decline in the share of deposits is due to the change in the recording of demand deposits now recorded under the increased cash and cash equivalents item.

4.1.2 Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk

Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk is a major asset item. Compared to 31 December 2015, these funds increased by 3.9 %, or € 8.3 million, to € 222.5 million at 30 September 2016. Effective as of 1 January 2016 demand deposits were transferred to cash and cash equivalents, resulting in a decrease of funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk of € 5.6 million compared to 31 December 2015 (01/01/2016: € 208.6 million; 31 December 2015: € 214.2 million). Thus funds increased by € 13.9 million compared to 01/01/2016. Investments grew due to positive cash flow (€ 9.7 million) and rising unit prices (€ 4.1 million).

There are three Group companies marketing life products where the investment risk is borne by policyholders: Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia and Velebit životno osiguranje. At 30 September 2015, funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk at Zavarovalnica Maribor totalled € 188.7 million (31/12/2015: € 179.9 million), funds at Zavarovalnica Tilia € 33.7 million (31/12/2015: 34.3 million), while such funds at Velebit životno osiguranje are negligible.

4.1.3 Assets under investment contracts

Assets and liabilities under investment contracts were first included in the consolidated statement of financial position on 31 December 2015.

The asset item includes liability fund assets relating to voluntary supplementary pension business managed by the company for the benefit of policyholders. At 30 September 2016, life insurance liability fund assets totalled € 118.1 million, up 6.7 % compared to year-end 2015 (31/12/2015: € 111.4 million). The increase in assets under investment contracts was mainly due to the combined effect of new net premiums written (€ 1.4 million) (in the period 1–9/2016 there were inflows of € 8.0 million and outflows of € 6.4 million) and the positive change in fair value reserve (€ 5.2 million).

Financial investments accounted for 99.2 % of total assets; the remaining amount relates to receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

4.1.4 Receivables

Receivables increased by 10.6 % or € 13.8 million compared to year-end 2015.

This increase was a result of both an increase in receivables arising out of primary insurance business as well as an increase in receivables arising out of reinsurance and coinsurance business. Receivables arising out of primary insurance business increased by € 6.5 million compared to year-end 2015 (prior year: € 5.7 million) as a result of the renewal schedules of annual insurance policies with legal entities. Receivables arising out of co-insurance and reinsurance business increased by € 5.8 million (prior year: € 17.6 million) as a result of the mid-year renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business. The increase in not-past-due receivables was € 14.6 million, while past-due receivables dropped by € 6 million.

4.2.1 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions are the largest item of liabilities. The figure at 30 September 2016 was an increase of 6.3 % or € 56.2 million compared to year-end 2015. Gross unearned premiums increased by € 25.2 million as a result of underwriting dynamics during the year, while claims provisions increased by € 22.6 million, of which € 5.5 million relates to a hail storm event, which hit the portfolio of Zavarovalnica Maribor, and the rest to portfolio growth.

Gross unearned premiums 181,220,559 156,039,680 116.1

Gross technical provisions 943,281,946 887,068,500 106.3

Movements in consolidated gross technical provisions

The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 6.4 % or € 9.5 million compared to year-end 2015. The increase in unearned premiums is a result of reinsurance underwriting dynamics (increase of € 4.9 million) and increase in claims provisions by € 4.8 million mainly as a result of growth in business in 2015, for which provisions have not been released yet (claims are yet to be settled), and new business written in 2016.

The gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life insurance segment recorded an increase of 8.4 % or € 38.7 million compared to year-end 2015. Of these, € 20.4 million relates to the increase in unearned premiums and € 17.0 million to the provision for claims. The catastrophe event mentioned above had an effect on this operating segment.

The gross provision for traditional life policies increased by 2.9 % compared to year-end 2015 (by € 8.0 million), mainly as a result of the increase in mathematical provisions.

4.2.2 Equity

The second largest item on the liabilities side is equity, which increased by 3.4 % or € 9.8 million compared to year-end 2015.

The most significant positive effects on equity were from the net profit for the period 1–9/2016 in the amount of € 22.6 million and the increase in the fair value reserve of € 14.2 million; the most significant negative effect was the consideration for own share repurchases of € 14.6 million (the reserve for treasury shares was largely established from net profit for the period). Sava Re paid out dividends in the amount of € 12.4 million in the third quarter of 2016.

At 30 September 2016 releases were made from the credit risk equalisation reserve and the catastrophe equalisation reserve, both being equity items, pursuant to statutory provisions. The amount of released provisions was transferred to retained earnings. Thus this reclassification had no effect on the amount of equity.

4.2.3 Technical provision for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk

The technical provision for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk at 30 September 2016 grew by 6.5 % or € 13.6 million compared to year-end 2015. This provision moves in line with funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk (depending on contributions, payouts and unit prices).

4.2.4 Liabilities under investment contracts

Liabilities under investment contracts of Moja naložba totalled € 118.0 million at 30 September 2016, up 6.0 % or € 6.7 million from year-end 2015. They move in line with assets under investment contracts.

4.3 Capital structure

At 30 September 2016 the Sava Re Group had € 296.2 million of equity capital and € 23.6 million of subordinated liabilities. At 30 September 2016, debt capital accounted for 7.5 % of equity. Subordinated liabilities relate to the subordinated debt of Sava Re taken out to expand to the Western Balkans.

4.4 Cash flow

Net cash from operating activities of the Sava Re Group in the period 1–9/2016 totalled € 41.7 million (1–9/2015: € 32.5 million), reflecting positive cash flow from core business.

Net disbursements used in financing activities of the Sava Re Group in the period 1–9/2016 totalled € 27.7 million (1–9/2015: € 17.2 million). In the period 1–9/2016 net disbursements used in financing activities related primarily to purchases of own shares (€ 14.6 million) and dividend payouts (€ 12.4 million).

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the period 1–9/2016 rose by € 37.5 million as a result of a change in the disclosure of demand deposits and deposits with an original maturity of up to three months. The related impact is set out in section 8.8.5.

6 RISK MANAGEMENT

The risks that the Sava Re Group members are exposed to are: underwriting risk, risk related to policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risk related to investment contracts, financial risk, operational risk, strategic risk and capital adequacy risk.

6.1 Underwriting risks

All Group subsidiaries assume risks from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risks to Sava Re. Sava Reinsurance Company also assumes risks from other cedants; any excess is retroceded to other reinsurers.

In terms of underwriting process risk, losses may be incurred because Sava Re Group members incorrectly select or approve risks to be assumed for (re)insurance. This risk is mitigated by the Group mainly by complying with established and prescribed underwriting procedures; correctly determining the probable maximum loss (PML) for each risk; complying with underwriting guidelines and instructions; complying with the authorisation system; having in place an appropriate pricing and reinsurance policy; and through actuarial reviews. Underwriting risks in excess of the Group's capacity are also reduced through retrocession contracts.

The pricing risk is monitored by Sava Re Group members by conducting actuarial analyses of loss ratios and identifying their trends and by making appropriate corrections. When premium rates are determined for new products, the pricing risk can be monitored by prudently modelling loss experience, by comparing against others' experience, and by comparing the actual loss experience against estimates.

Claims risk is managed by appropriate (re)insurance conditions and pricing, adequate underwriting, controlling risk concentration, and especially adequate reinsurance programmes for subsidiaries and an adequate retrocession programme for Sava Re.

The Sava Re Group members mitigate net retention risk by setting appropriate maximum net retention limits and by designing adequate reinsurance or retrocession programmes. In managing these risks, due consideration is given to the fact that maximum net aggregate losses in any one year are affected both by the maximum net claim arising from a single catastrophe event as well as by the frequency of such events.

The Sava Re Group members manage reserving risk by comparing historic reserving figures with actual amounts, by applying the latest actuarial methods and by adopting a prudent approach in setting the levels of technical provisions.

Retrocession programme: the Group concludes reciprocal contracts with other reinsurers to further disperse underwriting risks.

In order to manage underwriting risk of life insurance business, the Group regularly monitors mortality and morbidity rates, termination of life policies, looking for specific trends. In addition, it regularly conducts adequacy testing of provisions. The Group manages underwriting risk in its life insurance business by employing underwriting procedures. Underwriting guidelines specify criteria and terms of risk acceptance.

6.2 Risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk

With policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risks are substantially transferred to policyholders, as mathematical provisions move in line with assets. Within the set of products where policyholders bear the investment risk, the Sava Re Group also offers products that, to a certain extent, provide a guaranteed return. At 30 September 2016 assets under such contracts totalled € 33.3 million (31/12/2015: € 27.3 million). With respect to such assets, there is a risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return.

Zavarovalnica Maribor offers a guaranteed return for the investment fund ZM Zajamčeni and the ZM Hibrid product of the ZM Garant investment fund.

The guaranteed return for assets in the ZM Zajamčeni fund is 2.75 %. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities for profit attribution based on the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liabilities for exceeding the return). Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, guaranteed return and amounts for exceeding the guaranteed return (provisions for profit attribution). In years when the guaranteed return is exceeded, liabilities for exceeding the guaranteed return are increased; if, however, realised return is below the guaranteed level, these liabilities are decreased. If these liabilities are negative, they need to be covered by the insurer from own funds (the balance of additional liabilities is set to zero in the accounting books), but in years when the guaranteed return is again reached, the insurer first has to cover the negative balance through profit attribution. The described control of guaranteed return is carried out at the level of individual policies.

The assets underlying policies of the ZM Hibrid product are invested in two investment funds, DWS Garant 80 and ZM Garant. Each month on the cut-off date, the portion of assets in each fund are recalculated using a specific algorithm to ensures the achievement of the investment objective (selected by the policyholder) at the policy expiry. Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, current level of selected investment objective and balance of liabilities in both investment funds.

For the DWS Garant 80 investment fund, the guarantee that the unit value cannot fall by more than 20 % in any one month is provided by DWS Investment GmbH. The guaranteed return for assets in the ZM Garant fund is 2.25 %. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net premiums paid and guaranteed return). There are no additional liabilities for profit attribution for this fund. Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid and guaranteed return. If the guaranteed return is not achieved, the insurer is to cover the loss from own funds.

6.3 Risks associated with investment contracts

The Group classifies as investment contracts its voluntary supplementary pension insurance (VSPI) business of the pension insurer Moja naložba during the accumulation phase, as part of the company's life cycle liability funds. The life cycle liability funds "Moji skladi življenjskega cikla" include the following funds: "Moj dinamični sklad", "Moj uravnoteženi sklad" and "Moj zajamčeni sklad". Assets under investment contracts are not included in the consolidated financial investments item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of financial risks. Liabilities under investment contracts are not included in the consolidated technical provisions item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of underwriting risk. Assets and liabilities from investment contracts are exposed to the risk of failing to realise the guaranteed return of the fund "Moj zajamčeni sklad".

The investment risk in the life cycle funds "Moj dinamični sklad" and "Moj uravnoteženi sklad" are fully born by the policyholders (members) of the voluntary supplementary pension scheme, for which the company, in accordance with applicable law, does not provide a guaranteed return. While the policyholders of the "Moj zajamčeni sklad" bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed return. The pension plan associated with the fund "Moj zajamčeni sklad" provides a guaranteed return of 60 % of the average annual interest rate on government securities with a maturity of over one year. Liabilities under investment contracts of "Moj zajamčeni sklad" include liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities to cover any deficit resulting from the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liability to exceed the return). For each member of "Moj zajamčeni sklad", the manager keeps a personal account with accumulating net contributions, guaranteed returns and assets to exceed the guaranteed return (provisions). In years when the return exceeds the guaranteed rate, liabilities for return in excess of guaranteed return 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 personal accounts. In the event that individual provisions of any account are not sufficient to cover the guaranteed return, the difference is covered from the pension company's own funds (there were no transfers in 2016). In the other two funds "Moj dinamični sklad" and "Moj uravnoteženi sklad", the company maintains personal accounts where net premiums are accumulated, while liabilities depend on the number and price of units.

The risk of failing to realise guaranteed returns for both contracts where the investment risk is born by the policyholder as well as for assets under investment contracts, is managed primarily through appropriate management of policyholder assets and liabilities, an appropriate investment strategy and provisioning.

6.4 Financial risks

In the course of their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks, such as market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

Balance of investments sensitive to market risk

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk grew by € 45.0 million compared to 31/12/2015. Details are provided in section 4.1.1 "Investment portfolio".

6.4.1.1 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that a change in market interest rates will adversely affect the value of interest-sensitive assets and liabilities.

Interest rate risk is measured through a sensitivity analysis, by observing the change in the value of investments in bonds or the value of mathematical provisions in case of a change in interest rates. The analysed investments do not include held-to-maturity bonds as they are measured at amortised cost. Interest rate risk is managed through each company's efforts to optimise maturity matching of assets and liabilities so that any movement on the assets side neutralises the movement on the liabilities side.

At 30 September 2016, the value of interest-sensitive financial investments stood at € 858.9 million (31/12/2015: € 760.2 million). Of this, the value of interest-sensitive financial investments of non-life funds was € 591.6 million (31/12/2015: € 524.3 million); the value of interest-sensitive financial investments of life funds was € 267.3 million (31/12/2015: € 235.9 million).

The sensitivity analysis for data at 30 September 2015 showed that in the event of an upward shift of the yield curve by 50 basis points, the value of non-life insurance investments would drop by € 11.4 million or 1.9 % (31/12/2015: € 4.5 million or 0.9 %). The value of life insurance investments would decline by € 6.3 million or 2.4 % (31/12/2015: € 4.7 million or 2.0 %).

Interest rate risk has increased somewhat compared to the year-end as a result of the longer duration of investments.

6.4.1.2 Equity risk

Equity risk is the risk that the value of investments will decrease due to fluctuations in equity markets.

Equity risk is measured through a stress test assuming a 10-percent drop in equity prices. Equity risk affects shares, equity mutual funds and mixed mutual funds (in stress tests, we include half of the amount).

In case of a 10 % drop in the market prices of equity securities at 30 September 2016, the value of investments would decrease by € 2.5 million (31/12/2015: € 3.0 million).

The risk declined compared to year-end 2015 because of the lower amount of investments exposed to equity risk.

6.4.1.3 Property risk

Property risk is the risk that the value of property will decrease due to fluctuations in real estate markets.

Exposure to property risk is monitored through a stress test assuming a 25 % drop in prices. The basis for the calculation is the balance of investment property.

In case of a 25 % drop in property prices, the value of investments at 30 September 2016 would decrease by € 2.0 million (31/12/2015: € 2.0 million).

The risk did not change compared to year-end 2015.

6.4.1.4 Currency risk

The Sava Re Group manages currency risk through the efforts of each Group member to optimise asset-liability currency matching. Sava Re is the Sava Re Group member with the largest exposure to currency risk due to its substantial international presence. Other Group companies whose local currency is the euro (other companies based in Slovenia, Montenegro and Kosovo) have all liabilities and investments denominated in euro, meaning that these companies are not affected by currency risk. Group companies whose local currency is not the euro transact most business in their respective local currencies, while due to Group relations, they are to a minor extent subject to euro-related currency risk and translation risk in respect to equity.

Sava Re reduces its currency risk by matching assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Currencies are matched at the accounting currency level. If capital markets are not available in the accounting currency, currencies are matched at the transaction currency level.

The tables below show currency matching of Sava Re with effects on the statement of financial position and the income statement at 30 September 2016.

Total 599,495,307 599,495,306
% of currency matched liabilities 95.8 %

At 30 September 2016, the Company had a surplus of assets over liabilities in US dollar (€ 6.4 million). This surplus was due to asset-liability management practices where the Company ties to the US dollar a number of foreign currencies that are at least 90 % correlated with the US dollar. When these correlations are taken into account, the surplus of assets over liabilities in US dollar is reduced to € 0.2 million.

A currency mismatch also affects Sava Re's profit or loss through accounting for exchange rate differences due to the impact of exchange rate changes on various statement of financial position items.

When assets and liabilities are 100 % matched in terms of foreign currencies, changes in foreign exchange rates have no impact on profit or loss. This is because any change in the value of assets denominated in a foreign currency as a result of a change in the exchange rate is offset by the change in the value of liabilities denominated in that foreign currency. As Sava Re's assets and liabilities are 95.8 % currency matched, changes in foreign exchange rates still affect the income statement to some extent. The following table shows the impact of exchange differences.

Effect of exchange differences on the income statement for 1–9/2016

6.4.2 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that issuers or other counterparties will fail to meet their obligations to the Company.

The Group mitigates credit risk by investing in highly rated debt securities. At 30 September 2016 a share of 81.7 % of the fixed income portfolio was rated "investment grade" (BBB– or better) (31/12/2015: 83.0 %), and 70.2 % of investments were rated A- or better (31/12/2015: 47.6 %).

The largest structural shift was from the BBB/Baa class to the A/A class, largely as a result of the changes in credit ratings on the Republic of Slovenia: rating agency Fitch upgraded the credit rating on the Republic of Slovenia to A-.

The Company's credit profile remained at about the same level as at the year-end, so we believe that the credit risk has not changed from the end of the prior year.

Credit risk due to issuer default includes concentration risk representing the risk of excessive concentration in a geographic area, economic sector or issuer.

The investment portfolio of the Sava Re Group is reasonably diversified in accordance with local law and Group internal rules in order to avoid large concentration in a certain type of investment, large concentration with any counterparty or economic sector or other potential forms of concentration.

The Group's largest regional concentration is with EU countries (30/09/2016: 49.5 %; 31/12/2015: 47.7 %). In terms of industry, the Group is mainly exposed to governments (30/09/2016: 53.8 %; 31/12/2015: 54.0%), followed by the banking sector (30/09/2016: 21.2 %; 31/12/2015: 21.0 %). In the banking sector, covered bonds represent 48.6 % of the exposure (31/12/2015: 43.8 %). The Group holds covered bonds as a form of low-risk investment. Exposure to the 10 largest issuers accounted for 38.3 % of the investment portfolio (31/12/2015: 37.4%), with the largest exposure to the Republic of Slovenia (31/03/2016: 22.3 %; 31/12/2015: 22.9%), while exposure to any other single issuer does not exceed 3 % of the investment portfolio.

We estimate that credit risk did not change significantly compared to year-end 2015.

6.4.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through prudent forecasting of future cash flow requirements.

In the event of large losses, so-called cash call provisions in reinsurance contracts are triggered, providing for immediate payments in the chain cedant – controlling company – retrocessionaire.

For the purpose of liquidity risk management, Sava Re has arranged a credit line in the total amount of € 10 million.

The Slovenia-based companies maintain a high proportion of their portfolio in highly liquid assets that are readily available to provide liquidity in the event of unexpected liquidity requirements (liquidity class L1A according to the ECB classification of assets eligible for collateral).

In the case of extraordinary liquidity needs of both Slovenia- and non-Slovenia based companies, the parent company would provide necessary funds from the parent's surplus funds or through loans.

In terms of liquidity of Group companies, the matching of the assets with the technical and mathematical provisions covered is very important. Each Group company is responsible for monitoring the matching of assets with liability funds for life and non-life business and for regularly reporting the status of both to the parent company and supervisory institutions.

We believe that liquidity risk is low and well managed.

6.5 Operational risks

The Group's operational risk policy lays down the processes and accountability in the management of such risks. Both on the company and Group level, operational risks are regularly identified, assessed and monitored in each company's and the Group's risk register. The main operational risk categories to which individual companies and the Group are exposed are:

  • risk of internal and external fraud,
  • employment practices and workplace safety,
  • risks associated with clients, products and business practices,
  • risk of damage to physical assets,
  • risk of business disruption and system failures,
  • risk of process management and execution and
  • compliance risk (laws and regulations).

Operational risk generally arises together with other risks (e.g. underwriting risk, market risk), having a tendency to compound them. Inconsistencies in the underwriting process, for example, may significantly increase underwriting risks.

For effective management of operational risks, Group companies – in line with the risk management policy – establish processes for identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing and reporting of operational risks. To manage operational risk, the Group companies have in place an effective internal control system (their use is regulated in the Group's internal control policy) and a business process management system.

Significant operational risks are managed by Group companies as follows:

  • Each Group company has in place procedures (set down in writing) for detecting and preventing insurance fraud.
  • To manage IT risks, companies have adopted security policies in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard. Documentation related to information security management encompasses three levels: the rules of procedure regarding information security, security policies, and systemic procedures and instructions.
  • As part of operational risk management, Group companies have drawn up business continuity plans for all critical processes in case of incidents or external events. In this way, the Group mitigates the risk of unpreparedness for incidents and external events and any resulting business interruption.
  • For the purpose of operational risk management, the Sava Re Group has put in place adequate IT-supported procedures and controls in the most important areas of operation. In addition, such risks are managed through the internal audit function, through staff training and enhanced risk awareness.

6.6 Strategic risks

The Sava Re Group and its Group members are also exposed to internal and external strategic risk. Strategic risks at the individual company and Group level are regularly identified and assessed; such data being recorded in the risk register. The risk management service monitors and regularly reports on major strategic risks to the risk management committee and the management board. Strategic risk management is carried out mainly through the governance system of individual companies and the Group as well as through systematic risk management at both the company and Group level.

We estimate that the Group is particularly exposed to strategic risks associated with the merger of the Group's EU-based insurers. The Group is aware of the risks involved in the project, monitoring and assessing them on a regular basis to identify and manage them as early as possible.

Other important categories of strategic risk relate to adequacy and the allocation of capital because the new Solvency II regulation effective as of 1 January 2016 completely changed the notions of required capital and eligible own funds.

As part of its risk strategy, the Sava Re Group identified reputation risk as a key risk. For this purpose, the Group has laid down criteria as to which practices are unacceptable in the Sava Re Group.

6.7 Capital adequacy risk

The Sava Re Group has calculated the opening balance of the Group's capital requirements as at 1 January 2016 in accordance with Solvency II regulations. The Group held eligible own funds of € 403 million, of which most were tier 1 funds. The valuation of both assets and liabilities for determining eligible own funds was carried out in accordance with economic principles. The Solvency Capital Requirement of the Group was € 200 million. The solvency ratio at 1 January 2016 stood at 201 %, which indicates that the capital position of the Sava Re Group is good.

The Group's eligible own funds at 30 June 2016 dropped slightly compared to 31 December 2015 to € 398 million. It is worth noting that the Solvency II balance sheet is based on market value and is as a result much more volatile than are valuations in accordance with IFRS, which is why we also expect greater volatility of eligible own funds.

The calculation of eligible own funds at day 30 June 2016 is underway, but no significant deviation from the last calculation is expected. The Group does not calculate a detailed quarterly Solvency Capital Requirement, but monitors its risk profile through various risk indicators. Based on these indicators, we estimate that the Group' capital adequacy is at a high level at 30 September 2016.

As the Group's capital position is very good, we estimate that compliance with regulatory requirements is not at risk and that the insolvency risk is very small.

6.8 Risk exposure up until year-end 2016

The main risks that the Group is exposed to are underwriting risks followed by market risks. The realisation of underwriting risks is fortuitous and only for certain classes of insurance seasonal. A major increase in realised underwriting risks could be expected as a result of an increased frequency of storms with massive losses, while an increase in realised financial risks could be expected as a result of unfavourable trends in financial markets.

Although the process of merging four Sava Re Group insurers was formally completed on 2 November 2016, Zavarovalnica Sava will continue experiencing risks related to the integration of processes and realisation of synergistic effects.

Unaudited consolidated statement of changes in equity for the nine months to 30 September 2015

8 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The selected notes to the financial statements for the nine months to 30 September are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to both the first nine months of 2015 and end-of-year 2015.

8.1 Overview of major accounting policies

The financial statements with notes have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Pursuant to IAS 34, notes are provided in relation to major business events that are required to understand the financial position and performance of the Group compared to the previous annual financial report prepared for 2015.

The financial statements with notes as at and for the nine months to 30 September 2016 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements at 30 September 2016 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2015.

As of 1 January 2016, the Group changed the disclosure of cash assets to include cash equivalents. Previously, in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2015 these were disclosed under financial investments. Thus, the statement of financial position and cash flow item "cash and cash equivalents" comprises:

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

Detailed information on this change is provided in note 8.8.5 "Cash and cash equivalents".

8.2 Seasonality and cyclicality of interim operations

The operations of the Group are not seasonal in nature. Pursuant to underwriting rules, Group insurance companies defer costs/expenses and income that, by their nature, may or is required to be deferred also at the year-end.

8.3 The nature and amount of unusual items

There were no items unusual because of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the period 1–9/2016.

8.4 Materiality

Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2 % thereof at 30 September 2016, which is € 5.9 million. Changes in the balance of statement of financial position items that did not exceed the set materiality threshold have not been presented in detail in interim financial statements. Disclosures and notes that the Group is required to present under IAS 34 or statutory requirements are given in the report, even though they may not exceed the materiality threshold.

8.5 Issues, repurchases, and repayments of debt and equity securities

The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.

8.6 Key accounting estimates and judgements

The Group is predominately composed of financial companies (insurance companies) that invest their assets (those supporting liabilities as well as capital funds) in financial instruments. If the fair value of any financial instrument falls below its cost, the Group – pursuant to applicable accounting rules – examines whether the decrease is a significant and long-term one, in the event of which the financial instrument is impaired.

8.7 Analysis of operating segments

Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments have been formed based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks and the environment in which companies operate).

In view of the nature, scope and organisation of work, CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) is a group composed of management board members, director of finance, director of strategic finance and controlling, and director of risk management. CODM can monitor quarterly the results of operations by segments. These results include technical results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions. All figures reviewed by CODM are part of quarterly financial reports submitted to the management board.

Operating segments include reinsurance business, non-life insurance business, life insurance business, and the "other" segment. Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, a common performance indicator for all segments being net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs.

8.8.10 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by € 56.2 million or 6.3 % compared to 31 December 2015. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (€ 25.2 million) as a result of establishing high unearned premiums for coverages for which the full-year premiums were booked at the beginning of the year. Gross claims provisions increased by 4.9 % (€ 22.6 million), of which € 5.5 million relates to the remaining provisions relating to hailstorms (claim payments of € 1.5 million have already been made for hailstorms) and the rest to portfolio growth. The gross provision for traditional life policies increased by 2.7 % (or € 7.2 million) compared to year-end 2015. Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business grew by 6.5 % or € 13.6 million in 2016, mainly due to the value adjustment of units of certain funds and some minor claim settlements. Other technical provisions (bonuses and discounts, unexpired risks) account for a smaller share and in 2016 grew by € 1.2 million.
