Notes:
For details on the calculation of ratios and the net investment income, see the appended glossary.
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 1–6/2017, reinsurance segment exchange differences had a negative impact of € 3.4 million on the investment result and a positive impact of € 3.7 million on the underwriting result, which indicates that the Company is following a strict asset-liability currency management policy. The total impact in the period 1–6/2017 was a positive one of € 0.3 million, while in the period 1–6/2016, the impact on the result was a positive one of € 0.2 million.
The table below compares actual figures against figures planned for the full year 2017:
| (€ million) | 1–6/2017 | 2017 plan | As % of plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Consolidated gross premiums written | 297.8 | 494.3 | 60.2 % |
| Net profit/loss for the period | 17.1 | 32.6 | 52.5 % |
| Annualised return on equity | 11.1 % | 10.3 % | |
| Net combined ratio, excluding exchange differences | 94.2 % | 94.6 % | |
| Net incurred loss ratio, excluding exchange differences | 58.8 % | 59.4 % | |
| Net expense ratio, excluding exchange differences | 32.3 % | 32.6 % | |
| Annualised return on the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences |
2.2 % | 1.8 % |
*The net combined and the net incurred loss ratios have been calculated for the reinsurance and non-life operating segments.
Since exchange differences were not considered in the plan, the table shows ratios excluding the effect of exchange differences.
The annualised return on equity was slightly higher than planned for the full year 2017 as a result of a better net combined ratio and better return on the investment portfolio in the first half of 2017 compared to the annual 2017 plan.

In the period 1–6/2017, investment income totalled € 14.7 million, down € 2.1 million year on year; excluding exchange differences, investment income declined by € 0.5 million. The largest part of income was interest income, which amounted to € 9.5 million in the period 1–6/2017, down € 1.1 million year on year. Compared to the same period last year, realised capital gains on disposals of investments rose by € 0.6 million and other income by € 0.6 million.
In the period 1–6/2017, expenses relating to the investment portfolio increased by € 1.6 million year on year, but decreased by € 0.1 million on exclusion of exchange differences. In addition to exchange losses, the largest contributor to expenses was interest on loans. Interest on loans increased by € 0.3 million year on year. The increased interest expenses are entirely due to the one-off impact of the repayment of the Company's subordinated debt, accounted for using the effective interest rate method.

Composition of the consolidated gross profit
*The "other" category includes the gross result of the "other" segment.
In 1–6/2017, exchange differences had a significant impact on the composition of the result, so below we set out results, excluding the effect of exchange differences. The impact of exchange differences on the result by operating segment was as follows: positive effect on the underwriting result of € 3.7 million (1–6/2016: € 0.5 million positive effect); negative effect on the investment result of € 3.4 million (1–6/2016: € 0.3 million negative effect). The total positive effect of exchange differences on the result of 1–6/2017 amounted to € 0.3 million (1–6/2016: € 0.2 million positive effect).

Composition of the gross consolidated result, excluding exchange differences
*The "other" category includes the gross result of the "other" segment.
The underwriting result in the period 1–6/2017 was better than last year mainly as a result of a stronger underwriting result in the Slovenian non-life insurance segment. The underwriting result of the reinsurance segment was an improvement, while on exclusion of exchange differences, it was lower than year on year. The investment result (excluding exchange differences) deteriorated slightly due to lower interest income, while the result of the life segment declined marginally mainly owning to the result of Zavarovalnica Sava.

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

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

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business, excluding exchange differences
The underwriting result, excluding exchange differences, was slightly lower than in the same period of 2016. Although the underwriting result deteriorated, the combined ratio improved marginally (1– 6/2017: 94.0 %; 1–6/2016: 94.2 %). The half-year 2017 technical result was better mainly due to lower net claims incurred (in 2016 some prudent provisions were made for some major loss events abroad), while in 2017 claims provisions decreased primarily for loss events relating to underwriting years 2015 and 2016. The investment result (excluding exchange differences) for the period 1–
6/2017 was slightly lower than year on year because of lower interest income and higher interest expenses.

| Net earned premiums | 40,547,963 | 44,428,740 | 91.3 |
Gross premiums written in this segment were slightly higher in 1–6/2017 than year on year. This increase is a result of the larger volume of new business.
In the period 1–6/2017, the change in the net unearned premiums (an increase compared to the end of the previous year) was larger than in the previous year. This is due to the growth in premium volume and the larger share of non-proportional reinsurance business, the premiums of which are accounted at the time of writing the contract, which is why a high amount of unearned premiums is set aside at the beginning of the year.
In Slovenia, the Company transacts business mostly with Zavarovalnica Sava, which is why the amounts of all categories of the reinsurance segment (extra-Group business) are relatively small.

Consolidated gross claims paid of this segment were slightly lower in 1–6/2017 than year on year. In 2016, significant amounts were paid for claims relating to the Tianjin explosion, which had occurred in 2015. Consequently, the paid loss ratio improved in the period of 1–6/2017 year on year (1– 6/2017: 42.4 %; 1–6/2016: 46.9 %).
The change in the net provision for outstanding claims (including exchange differences) in the period 1–6/2017 was lower than the one year on year (net provisions for outstanding claims decreased this year but increased in the previous year. The change in the net claims provision was primarily affected by exchange differences, which in 1–6/2017 had a positive impact on the profit of € +3.5 million (1– 6/2016: € 0.7 million). On exclusion of exchange differences, the change in net claims provision in the first half of 2017 (up € 5.2 million) was somewhat lower than year on year (up € 5.5 million).
The net incurred loss ratio (including exchange differences) of the reinsurance segment improved to 54.5 % in the period of 1–6/2017 (1–6/2016: 64.7 %). On exclusion of exchange differences, the ratio improved by 1.7 percentage points year on year.

In 1–6/2017 acquisition costs increased by 2.3 % against a 3.4 % growth in gross premiums written. The ratio of acquisition costs as a percentage of premiums in 1–6/2017 increased by 0.2 percentage points year on year to 20.9 %.
In the period 1–6/2017, the increase in the level of deferred acquisition costs was larger than last year, due to larger gross premiums written resulting in increased acquisition costs. The mechanisms are much the same as the effect of the movement in gross premiums written on the movement of unearned premiums.
Other operating expenses increased by 26.2 % mainly due to larger personnel costs and amortisation costs because of the larger cost of software.

Income, expenses and net inv. income of the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences; reinsurance business

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 Company realised € 0.2 million less net investment income in the reinsurance operating segment. The net investment income declined largely because of the decline in interest income (€ 0.1 million) and increase in interest expenses. In the reporting period, the Company realised € 0.5 million of gains on the disposal of financial investments. The investment return for the period was 1.6 %.
The non-life insurance segment comprises the operations of the following companies:
The figures provided for the period 1–6/2017 for Zavarovalnica Sava are the sums of the figures of the Group insurers that merged on 2 November 2016 into Zavarovalnica Sava (Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia and Velebit osiguranje, excluding intra-group transactions). The Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava is discussed under Slovenian non-life insurance, while the Croatian part of the company is discussed under international non-life insurance.
Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 8.7 "Analysis of operating segments".

The non-life insurance segment recorded a (€ 3.4 million) better consolidated net result in 1–6/2017 than in the same period last year. In this regard, the non-life segment of Slovenian insurance companies improved by € 4.5 million, while non-life operations abroad achieved a € 1.1 million lower result.
The underwriting result of the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava improved, reflecting both growth in net premiums earned and a drop in operating expenses. The largest impact on the overall deterioration in the underwriting result of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers came from the weaker underwriting performance of the Kosovan, Macedonian and Serbian non-life insurers.
The investment result of Slovenian non-life insurer declined by € 2.1 million year on year as a result of lower interest income and lower realised gains on disposals. The investment result of international non-life insurers remained at the 2016 level.

In the period 1–6/2017 gross non-life premiums written in Slovenia increased by 6.1 %, mainly owing to a higher volume of motor, property and liability business. Motor premium growth was driven both by growth achieved with individual clients, with increases in the number of policies and sums insured on casco policies, as well as in the commercial sector through new clients and partly increased coverages. The Slovenian non-life insurance market grew at a rate of 5.5 % in the period.
Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 10.7 %. Gross non-life premiums grew in all the Group's international non-life insurers with the largest growth coming from the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava and the Montenegrin non-life insurance company. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava wrote more premiums in most of its classes of insurance year on year through good positioning in Internet sales, improved premium collection and increased efficiency of the own sales network. The largest growth was recorded in motor liability business. The non-life premium growth achieved by the branch was 28.0 %, while the Croatian non-life insurance market grew by 4.8 %. The Montenegrin non-life insurer achieved its highest premium growth in the fire and other damage to property class of business. As did the Serbian non-life insurer, due to the greater focus on the sale of these products, more success in public tenders and better sales of assistance products. The Kosovan non-life insurer grew primarily its health business. The premium growth achieved by the Macedonian insurer is a result of the increase in the number of motor vehicle liability insurance policies and improved sales in individual motor casco business.
Net non-life insurance premiums grew by 5.1 % in the first half of 2017. The reinsurers' shares of premiums and unearned premiums increased in line with the growth in gross premiums written.
Overall, this led to a 3.9 % increase in net premiums earned.

Gross claims paid for Slovenian business in the period 1–6/2017 increased mainly due to larger gross claims paid at Zavarovalnica Sava for private motor business. The year-on-year increase is largely a result of the hail payments relating to 2016 (three major loss events). But it is also because of the increased number of motor policies sold. In commercial motor business, the increase is mainly due to one major motor liability loss. The increased payments in property business are also the result of hailstorms. Provisions for these losses had already been made, which is why claim payments do not significantly affect the result.
Gross claims relating to international business increased by 10.7 %, mainly due to the increase in claims at the Macedonian non-life insurer, where the chief reason is the settlement of four major property claims for which provisions had been set aside in prior years so claim payments did not affect the business result. In addition, there were a few large motor liability and motor casco claims as a result of the storm. In the case of the Montenegrin insurance company, the increase in claims reflects some major claims in accident insurance, motor vehicle insurance, and in fire and other damage to property. The Serbian non-life insurer increased claims as a result of its acquisition of the AS osiguranje portfolio (without any impact on profits, as the portfolio was acquired together with adequate claims provisions).
The decline in the net claims provision is mainly due to the payment of claims by Slovenian insurers relating to 2016 hailstorm losses.

The consolidated acquisition costs dropped by 1.3 %, as a result of the reclassification of the costs of the Croatian Zavarovalnica Sava branch after alignment to the Slovenian part of the Group. Prior to the merger, the Croatian insurer booked the salaries of its agents under acquisition costs, after the merger they were accounted for as personnel costs for the purpose of alignment with Zavarovalnica Sava.
The rise in other operating expenses is mainly due to the increase in the Serbian non-life insurer as a result of a larger workforce. The reason for the increase in the expenses of the Croatian branch office is mainly due to the above adjustment and reclassification of personnel costs relating to agent salaries and partly also owing to increases in other service costs.

Gross expense ratio; non-life insurance business
The consolidated gross expense ratio of non-life business declined in Zavarovalnica Sava by 1.6 percentage points year on year as a result of the growth in gross non-life premiums written by 6.1 %, while acquisition costs and other operating expenses remained on the prior year level.
The consolidated gross expense ratio of non-Slovenian non-life insurers dropped by 1.1 percentage points due to a 10.7 % growth in gross premiums written against a 7.6 % increase in acquisition costs with other operating expenses.
Income, expenses and the net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (€); non-life insurance business

In 1–6/2017 the net investment income relating to the non-life insurance portfolio amounted to € 4.7 million, down € 0.8 million year on year. The net investment income was lower largely because of lower interest income (€ 0.5 million). In the reporting period, capital gains totalled € 0.6 million, down € 0.1 million year on year. The investment return for the period was 1.8 %.
The life insurance segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

In 1–6/2017, gross premiums written by the Group's life insurers grew both in Slovenia as well as abroad year on year. Due to the liquidation of its DWS FlexPension funds by the DWS fund administrator, Zavarovalnica Sava made a special offer to policyholders who held savings relating to these funds to take out similar policies (new internal fund). The related growth in gross premiums written totalled € 2.2 million. The premiums written figure in Slovenia was also affected by a large number of maturities of unit-linked policies in January 2017, but many policyholders opted for taking out new policies. The Sava pokojninska pension insurer contributed € 0.5 million to premium growth from single premiums paid for annuities. This business is expected to continue increasing as policyholders reach retirement age, when funds from the savings accounts are transferred to annuity contracts.
Gross premiums written also increased in other countries, with the largest growth achieved in Serbia, where Sava životno osiguranje (SRB) recorded a 13.6 % premium growth. This growth is the result of a number of concluded policies, some of which are single-premium policies.
High growth was also generated by the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava, which grew premiums by 13.4 % in the first half of the year, while the Croatian life insurance market recorded a 1.8 % growth. Sales in the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava were also boosted by the new arrangement as after the merger non-life agents have been permitted to sell life policies.
All non-Slovenian life insurers have been implementing measures to improve their own sales network through regular education and training events for sales personnel, while also seeking growth opportunities in other sales channels.

Gross claims paid in Slovenia grew by 72.0 %, as a result of a large number of unit-linked policies that matured in January 2017. The movement in claims needs to be looked at in conjunction with the change in technical provisions.
Gross claims have also increased in international business as a result of the increase in claims at Illyria Life, where two major claims were recorded due to accidental deaths this year, coupled with a significant number of surrenders as a large number of policies became eligible for this option.
The year-on-year change in technical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk of the Slovenian insurers is affected by claims settlements as well as movements in mutual fund unit prices.

The increase in acquisition costs is primarily due to the increases in the acquisition costs of the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava due to its expanded operations and altered dynamics of expenses included in products. This is also the reason for the negative change in deferred acquisition costs in 1–6/2017.
The rise in other operating expenses is mainly due to the higher expenses of Zavarovalnica Sava. In the Slovenian part this was due to higher personnel costs following the unification of employee collective agreements (prior to the merger, Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia had different agreements), higher material costs due to one-off purchases and the different timing of use of marketing funds. There was also a rise in the other operating expenses of the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava, which however only relates to a reclassification of expenses for the purpose of alignment to the Slovenian part of the company. Prior to the merger, the Croatian insurer booked the salaries of its agents under acquisition costs. As of 2 November 2016, these were accounted for as personnel costs. In total, these costs remained at the same level as in the previous year.

Gross expense ratio; life insurance business
The consolidated gross expense ratio of the Slovenian companies increased by 1.2 percentage points, which is a result of increased expenses in both the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava pokojninska.
The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-Slovenian life insurers dropped by 2.9 percentage points because of the increase in gross premiums written.
Income, expenses and the net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (€); life business, excluding unit-linked business

The net investment income of the investment portfolio of life insurance business rose by € 0.3 million in 1–6/2017 year on year. The net investment income grew marginally, reflecting slightly higher income and lower expenses. In the first half of 2017, the Group realised € 0.5 million of capital gains in the life insurance segment (1–6/2016: € 0.1 million) and € 0.5 million of other income.

Sava Re Group investment portfolio by class of asset
As at 30 June 2017, the Group's investment portfolio totalled € 1,054.3 million, a decrease of € 5.4 million from the year-end 2016 figure.
The decline in the investment portfolio was largely due to the repayment of the subordinated debt of Sava Re (€ -24.0 million) and the payment of dividends to the shareholders of Sava Re (€ -12.4 million). Cash flow from core business4 , the change in accrued interest, realised capital gains and dividends from financial investments were all positive, totalling € 37.6 million.

Composition of the Sava Re Group investment portfolio as at 31 December 2016 and 30 June 2017
*The "other" item comprises deposits with cedants, loans granted and other investments.
4 Cash flow from core business does not include cash flow from unit-linked business.

With regard to the structure of the Save Re Group investment portfolio, the most significant structural shift was:
Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk are a major asset item. Zavarovalnica Sava is the only Group company to market life products where the investment risk is borne by policyholders (unit-linked products).
Funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk are recorded as financial investments (mainly in mutual funds selected by policyholders) and cash. As at 30 June 2017, financial investments totalled € 217.9 million and cash € 12.8 million. The decline in the funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk was a result of a negative cash flow from core business (€ -7.1 million), while the change in mutual fund prices of the funds selected by policyholders was a positive one (€ +2.6 million).
The reinsurers' share of technical provisions (retroceded technical provisions) increased by € 7.5 million or 26.5 % compared to 31 December 2016. This is mainly because of the high level of retroceded unearned premiums set aside for non-proportional covers of the international reinsurance portfolio that are fully accounted at the beginning of the year and for which the unearned premiums represent a deferment; thus retroceded unearned premiums increased by € 7.1 million compared to the beginning of the year. The retroceded gross provision for outstanding claims grew by € 0.4 million.
5 ETF = exchange-traded fund; mutual funds that we purchase through a broker.
Compared to year-end 2016, receivables increased by 25.9 % or € 32.9 million (first half of 2016: 16.3 % or € 21.4 million). A significant increase in receivables compared to the end of the previous year is normal in the first half of the year.
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 € 16.4 million compared to year-end 2016 (prior year: € 16.3 million) as a result of the renewal schedules of annual insurance policies with corporate clients. Receivables arising out of co-insurance and reinsurance business increased by € 12.2 million (prior year: € 4.4 million) as a result of the growth in reinsurance business and the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business. In both categories there has been an increase especially in not-past-due receivables (93.1 % increase).
The investment contract asset item includes liability fund assets relating to MOJI skladi življenjskega cikla [MY Life Cycle Funds] managed by the Sava pokojninska pension company for the benefit of policyholders. As of 1 January 2016, the company started managing a group of long-term business funds MOJI skladi življenjskega cikla, consisting of three long-term business funds: MOJ dinamični sklad [MY Dynamic Fund] (MDS) and MOJ uravnoteženi sklad [MY Balanced Fund] (MUS), where policyholders bear the entire investment risk, and MOJ zajamčeni sklad [MY Guaranteed Fund] (MZS), where policyholders bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed funds.
As at 30 June 2017, investment contract assets totalled € 125.0 million, up 2.9 % compared to 31 December 2016. The increase in investment contract assets was mainly due to new net premiums written (€ 1.9 million; in the period 1–6/2017 there were inflows of € 6.3 million and outflows including expenses of € 4.4 million) and a positive change in fair value reserve (€ 1.8 million).
Like the previous category, the movement in investment contract assets depends on new premium contributions, payouts and changes in fund unit values.

Equity increased by 1.0 % or € 2.9 million compared to year-end 2016.
A positive impact on the equity figure came mainly from the net profit for the period 1–6/2017 in the amount of € 17.1 million. The reserve due to fair value revaluation increase by € 0.3 million, the translation reserve by € 0.2 million. Negative impacts on equity related to the dividend payout of € 12.4 million and the decline in the fair value reserve of € 2.2 million compared to 31 December 2016.
Gross technical provisions are the largest item of liabilities. The figure as at 30 June 2017 was an increase of 6.2 % or € 56.7 million compared to year-end 2016 (premium growth and establishment of high unearned premiums for coverages for which the full-year premiums were booked at the beginning of the year).

| Gross unearned premiums | 209,181,842 | 157,678,496 | 132.7 |
| Gross mathematical provisions | 274,480,563 | 269,762,815 | 101.7 |

| Gross technical provisions | 967,958,969 | 911,221,323 | 106.2 |
The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 8.1 % or € 12.3 million compared to year-end 2016. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as a result of the dynamics of writing reinsurance business (up € 14.5 million), while provisions for outstanding claims dropped by 2.4 million as a result of exchange differences and payments of prior-year losses.
The gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life insurance segment recorded an increase of 8.4 % or € 39.6 million compared to year-end 2016. Of these, € 37.0 million related to the increase in unearned premiums and € 1.2 million to the provision for claims outstanding. There was also an increase in gross premiums written and gross claims paid relating to this segment.
The gross mathematical provisions for traditional policies of the life segment increased by 1.7 % (or € 4.7 million) compared to year-end 2016, as a result of aging and growth of the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including pension annuity business (during the distribution phase).
Other technical provisions (bonuses and discounts, unexpired risks) accounted for a smaller share and grew in total by € 1.5 million.
Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 3.2 % or € 7.3 million compared with the end of 2016, mainly due to maturities and surrenders.
The investment contract liabilities of Sava pokojninska totalled € 124.8 million at 30 June 2017, up 3.0 % or € 3.6 million from year-end 2016. They move in line with investment contract assets.
Liabilities from operating activities increased by 19.4 %, or € 9.5 million, year on year (1–6/2016: decrease of € 3.9 million). The large increase in this item is due to an increase in liabilities arising out of reinsurance operations (liabilities for premiums relating to retrocession contracts) and an increase in current tax liabilities.
In 2006 and 2007, the controlling company raised a subordinated loan in the nominal amount of € 32 million scheduled to mature in 2027. Under the contractual provisions, the remaining nominal amount of € 24 million could be early repaid as of 2017. After receiving the approval of the Slovenian Insurance Supervision Agency, the controlling company repaid the subordinated debt in the nominal amount of € 24 million on 15 March 2017 and 14 June 2017.
As at 30 June 2017, the Sava Re Group held € 300.0 million of equity. The Group had no subordinated liabilities as at that date. Thus, as at that date the Group was solely financed through equity.
In the period 1–6/2017, the Sava Re Group had a positive operating cash flow of € 20.9 million (1– 6/2016: € 27.0 million).
In the period 1–6/2017, the Sava Re Group recorded a negative financing cash flow of € -37.2 million (1–6/2016: € -15.0 million). The negative financing cash flow in the first half of 2017 is a result of the payment of dividends and repayment of subordinated debt.
The net increase/decrease of cash and cash equivalents in 1–6/2017 was € 30.6 million below the year-on-year figure.

7 As at 30 June 2017, the outlook for Sava Re was still stable.
The table above shows the number of employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. The number of employees in the Group is subject to fluctuations mainly due to fluctuations in the agency network.
The risks that the Group companies are exposed to are: insolvency risk, underwriting risk, risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risk associated with investment contracts, financial risk, operational risk and strategic risk.
For the solvency calculation, the Sava Re Group uses the Solvency II standard formula. As at 31 December 2016, it held € 423 million of eligible own funds, all of which were tier one funds. The Group's Solvency Capital Requirement (SCR) totalled € 207 million as at 31 December 2016. Thus the Group is well capitalised and has a high solvency ratio of 204 %. The solvency ratio is also in line with the Group's internal rules, marginally exceeding the optimal solvency ratio range (170–200 %). Details on valuation and the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's SCR are set out in the Sava Re Group's solvency and financial condition report for 2016.
The Group's eligible own funds as at 31 March 20178 increased slightly compared to 31 December 2016 to € 439 million. The Group's risk profile did not change significantly compared to the end of 2016 and remains in line with the risk strategy. Based on these indicators, we estimate that the Group's solvency ratio remains at a comparable level as at 31 December 2016. Accordingly, the risk to the Group's capital adequacy is very small.
All Group subsidiaries assume risks from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risks to Sava Re. Sava Re also assumes risks from other cedants; any excess is retroceded to other reinsurers.
In terms of underwriting process risk, losses may be incurred because Sava Re Group members incorrectly select or approve risks to be assumed for (re)insurance. This risk is mitigated by the Group mainly by complying with established and prescribed underwriting procedures; correctly determining the probable maximum loss (PML) for each risk; complying with underwriting guidelines and instructions; complying with the authorisation system; having in place an appropriate pricing and reinsurance policy; and through actuarial reviews. Underwriting risks in excess of the Group's capacity are also reduced through retrocession contracts.
The pricing risk is monitored by Sava Re Group members by conducting actuarial analyses of loss ratios and identifying their trends and by making appropriate corrections. When premium rates are determined for new products, the pricing risk can be monitored by prudently modelling loss experience, by comparing against others' experience, and by comparing the actual loss experience against estimates.
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.
8 Most recent calculation. We will report on the level of the Group's eligible own funds as at 30 June 2017 in the report for the nine months to 30 September 2017.
Sava Re Group members mitigate the net retention risk by setting appropriate maximum net retention limits and by designing adequate reinsurance or retrocession programmes. In managing this risk, we take into account that maximum net aggregate losses in any one year are affected both by the maximum net claim arising from a single catastrophe event and by the frequency of such events.
Sava Re Group members manage reserving risk by comparing historic reserving figures with actual amounts, by applying the latest actuarial methods and by adopting a prudent approach in setting the levels of technical provisions.
Retrocession programme: the Group concludes reciprocal contracts with other reinsurers to further disperse underwriting risks.
In order to manage underwriting risk of life insurance business, the Group regularly monitors mortality and morbidity rates, termination of life policies, looking for specific trends. In addition, it regularly conducts adequacy testing of provisions. The Group manages underwriting risk in its life insurance business by employing underwriting procedures. Underwriting guidelines specify criteria and terms of risk acceptance.
With policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risks are substantially transferred to policyholders, as mathematical provisions move in line with assets. Within the set of products where policyholders bear the investment risk, the Sava Re Group also offers products that, to a certain extent, provide a guaranteed return. As at 30 June 2017 assets under such contracts totalled € 40.7 million (31/12/2016: € 36.3 million). With respect to such assets, there is a risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return.
Zavarovalnica Sava offers a guaranteed return for the investment fund ZS Varnost and the ZS Hibrid product of the ZM Garant investment fund.
The guaranteed return for assets in the ZM Zajamčeni fund is 1.5 %. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities for profit attribution based on the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liabilities for exceeding the return). Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, guaranteed return and amounts for exceeding the guaranteed return (provisions for profit attribution). In years when the guaranteed return is exceeded, liabilities for exceeding the guaranteed return are increased; if, however, the realised return is below the guaranteed level, these liabilities are decreased. If these liabilities are negative, they need to be covered by the insurer from own funds (the balance of additional liabilities is set to zero in the accounting books), but in years when the guaranteed return is again reached, the insurer first has to cover the negative balance through profit attribution. The described control of guaranteed return is carried out at the level of individual policies.
The assets underlying the policies of the ZM Hibrid product are invested in two investment funds, DWS Garant 80 and ZM Garant. Each month on the cut-off date, the proportion of each policy's assets in any fund is recalculated using a specific algorithm to ensures the achievement of the investment objective (selected by the policyholder) at the policy expiry. Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, current level of selected investment objective and balance of liabilities in both investment funds.
For the DWS Garant 80 investment fund, the guarantee that the unit value cannot fall by more than 20 % in one month is provided by DWS Investment GmbH. The guaranteed return for assets in the ZM Garant fund is 2.25 %. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net premiums paid and guaranteed return). There are no additional liabilities for profit attribution for this fund. Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid and guaranteed return. If the guaranteed return is not achieved, the insurer is to cover the loss from own funds.
In the last quarter of 2016, Zavarovalnica Sava set up the Varnost fund with an amount of € 60.0 million, for which it also provides a guarantee, and will, in line with its investment policy, invest in assets for which it will provide a 100 % guarantee. There is a risk of reinvesting these assets since interest rates on A-rated bonds are already negative for shorter maturities.
The Group classifies as investment contracts its Supplementary Voluntary Pension Insurance (SVPI) business of the pension insurer Sava pokojninska during the accumulation phase, as part of the company's SVPI liability fund. Investment contract liabilities are not included in the consolidated technical provisions item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of underwriting risk. Investment contract assets are not included in the consolidated financial investments item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of financial risks. In addition, there is a risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed returns associated with investment contract assets and liabilities.
SVPI policyholders (members) bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed return of the liability fund with guaranteed return. The two pension plans of Sava pokojninska provide a guaranteed return of 60 % of the average annual interest rate on government securities with a maturity of over one year. Investment contract liabilities include liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities to cover any deficit resulting from the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liability to exceed the return). For each member, the manager keeps a personal account with accumulating net contributions, guaranteed returns and assets to exceed the guaranteed return (provisions). In years when the return in excess of guaranteed return is realised, liabilities for return in excess of guaranteed return are increased; if, however, the realised return is below the guaranteed level, this part of liabilities decreases until the provision is fully exhausted. The described control of guaranteed return is carried out at the level of individual members' accounts. In the event that individual provisions of any account are not sufficient to cover the guaranteed return, the difference is covered from the pension company's own funds (there were no transfers in 2016 and the first half of 2017).
The risk of failing to realise guaranteed returns for both contracts where the investment risk is born by the policyholder as well as for investment contract assets, is managed primarily through appropriate management of policyholder assets and liabilities, an appropriate investment strategy and provisioning.
In the course of their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks, such as market, liquidity and credit risk.

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk dropped by € 5.4 million compared to 31 December 2016. Details are provided in section 4.1.1 "Investment portfolio".
Interest rate risk is measured through a sensitivity analysis, by observing the change in the value of investments in bonds or the value of mathematical provisions in case of a change in interest rates. The analysed investments do not include held-to-maturity bonds as they are measured at amortised cost. Interest rate risk is managed through each company's efforts to optimise maturity matching of assets and liabilities so that any movement on the assets side offsets the movement on the liabilities side.
The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 30 June 2017 was € 866.9 million (31/12/2016: € 841.7 million). Of this, € 589.7 million (31/12/2016: € 582.7 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and € 277.2 million (31/12/2016: € 259.0 million) to assets of life insurers.
The sensitivity analysis for data as at 30 June 2017 showed that in the event of an upward shift of the yield curve by 50 basis points, the value of non-life insurance investments would drop by € 10.7 million or 1.8 % (31/12/2016: € 11.2 million or 1.9 %). And the value of life insurance investments would decline by € 6.3 million or 2.3 % (31/12/2016: € 6.0 million or 2.3 %).
Compared to the prior year-end, interest rate risk declined marginally for non-life insurance business and slightly increased for life insurance business.
Equity risk is measured through a stress test assuming a 10-percent drop in equity prices. The calculation is based on the Company's equity holdings and equity mutual funds with a weight of 1 and mixed mutual funds with a weight of 0.5.
In case of a 10 % drop in the market prices of equity securities as at 30 June 2017, the value of investments would decrease by € 1.9 million (31/12/2016: € 2.3 million).
The risk decreased marginally compared to year-end 2016.
Exposure to property risk is monitored through a stress test assuming a 25 % drop in prices. The basis for the calculation is the balance of investment property.
In case of a 25 % drop in all property prices, the value of investments as at 30 June 2017 would decrease by € 2.0 million (31/12/2016: € 2.0 million).
This risk did not change compared to year-end 2016.
The Sava Re Group manages currency risk by the efforts of each Group member to optimise assetliability currency matching. Sava Re is the Sava Re Group member with the largest exposure to currency risk due to its substantial international presence. Group companies whose local currency is the euro (companies based in Slovenia, Montenegro and Kosovo) have all liabilities and investments denominated in euro, meaning that these companies are not exposed to currency risk. Group companies whose local currency is not the euro (in Serbia, Macedonia and Croatia) 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.
Sava Re reduces its currency risk by matching assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Currencies are matched at the accounting currency level9 . If capital markets are not available in the accounting currency, currencies are matched at the transaction currency level10 .
The tables below show the currency matching of Sava Re, providing effects on the statement of financial position and income statement with foreign currency amounts translated into euros.

9 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.
10 The transaction currency is the currency in which reinsurance contract transactions are processed.

The Company has set itself the target of matching assets and liabilities at least 90 %. In the first half of 2017, assets and liabilities were 96.4 % matched (2016: 96.5 %), which demonstrates the high quality of currency risk management.
In the management of currency risk (ALM aspect), the Company managed to directly match all substantially liquid currencies. Other currencies were matched based on their correlation with the euro or the US dollar. Since many accounting currencies are at least 90 % correlated to the US dollar, the surplus of assets over liabilities in US dollars is thus reduced to € 2.5 million (from € 9.0 million based on the accounting aspect).
Currency mismatches affect the income statement of Sava Re through accounting for exchange differences due to the impact of exchange rate changes on various statement of financial position items.
When assets and liabilities are 100 % matched in terms of foreign currencies, changes in foreign exchange rates have no impact on profit or loss. This is because any change in the value of assets denominated in a foreign currency as a result of a change in the exchange rate is offset by the change in the value of liabilities denominated in that foreign currency. As Sava Re's assets and liabilities are not 100 % currency matched, changes in exchange rates do affect profit or loss. The following table shows the impact of exchange differences.

The Group mitigates credit risk by investing in highly rated debt securities. As at 30 June 2017 a share of 85.5 % of the fixed income portfolio was rated "investment grade" (BBB– or better) (31/12/2016: 84.5 %), and 72.3 % of investments were rated A- or better (31/12/2016: 73.6 %).
The credit quality of securities issuers remained at about the same level as at year-end 2016; therefore, we believe that the credit risk has not changed from the end of the prior year.
The credit risk due to issuer default includes concentration risk representing the risk of excessive concentration in a geographic area, economic sector or issuer.
The investment portfolio of the Sava Re Group is reasonably diversified in accordance with local law and Group internal rules in order to avoid large concentration in a certain type of investment, large concentration with any counterparty or economic sector or any other potential forms of concentration.
The Group's largest regional concentration is in EU countries (30/06/2017: 53.2 %; 31/12/2016: 51.7 %). In terms of industry, the Group is mainly exposed to governments (30/06/2017: 51.6 %; 31/12/2016: 56.2%), followed by the banking sector (31/03/2017: 20.2 %; 31/12/2016: 19.8 %). In the banking sector, covered bonds represent 53.9 % of the exposure. The Group holds covered bonds as a form of low-risk investment. Exposure to the 10 largest issuers accounted for 34.3 % of the investment portfolio (31/12/2016: 39.3%), with the largest exposure to the Republic of Slovenia (30/06/2017: 18.7 %; 31/12/2016: 22.2%), while exposure to any other single commercial issuer does not exceed 2.0 % of the investment portfolio.
We estimate that credit risk improved compared to year-end 2016.
Liquidity risk is managed through prudent forecasting of future cash flow requirements.
In the event of large losses, so-called cash call provisions in reinsurance contracts are triggered, providing for immediate payments in the chain cedant – controlling company – retrocessionaire.
An additional liquidity cushion is provided by a credit line of € 10 million arranged by Sava Re with a commercial bank for the purpose of covering the liquidity needs of its Group members.
The Slovenia-based companies maintain a high proportion of their portfolio in highly liquid assets that are readily available to provide liquidity in the event of unexpected liquidity requirements (liquidity class L1A according to the ECB classification of assets eligible for collateral).
In the case of extraordinary liquidity needs of both Slovenia- and non-Slovenia based companies, the parent company would provide necessary funds from the parent's surplus funds or through loans.
In terms of liquidity of Group companies, the matching of the assets with the technical and mathematical provisions covered is very important. Each Group company is responsible for monitoring the matching of assets with liability funds for life and non-life business and for regularly reporting the status of both to the parent company and supervisory institutions.
We believe that liquidity risk is low and manageable.
Group companies have established processes for identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing and reporting on such risks for the effective management of operational risk. Operational risk management processes have been set up also at the Group level and are defined in the operational risk management policy.
Identification of operational risks is carried out regularly and in all organisational units of individual Group companies, especially upon the introduction of new products, new regulatory requirements, changes in operations and the transformation of other internal and external factors that could affect the amount of operational risk. Each risk is assigned a risk owner, who is responsible for regular monitoring and reporting. The risk management department (if set up in the Group company) regularly informs the risk management committee and the management board of any new risks.
The Group measures (assesses) operational risks primarily in terms of qualitative assessment of the probability of loss and financial impact of risks listed in the risk register, while the EU-based companies additionally use scenario analysis. Risk registers are maintained both at the company and Group level, where risks are assessed that either occur only at the Group level or are compounded at the level of the Group.
To manage operational risk, the Group companies have in place an effective internal control system and a business process management system.
Operational risk generally arises together with other risks (e.g. underwriting risk, market risk), having a tendency to compound them. Inconsistencies in the underwriting process, for example, may significantly increase underwriting risks.
The main measures of operational risk management on the individual company and the Group level include:
Operational risks are not among the Group's most significant risks. Nevertheless, some of them are quite important, such as:
Strategic risks are by nature very diverse, difficult to quantify and heavily dependent on various (including external) factors.
The Sava Re Group and its Group members are also exposed to various internal and external strategic risks. The main strategic risks include as below:
Such risks are identified by individual organisational units of Group companies, management boards, risk management committees and risk management functions. Strategic risks are additionally identified by the Group's risk management committee.
The Group's strategic risks are assessed qualitatively in the risk register by assessing the frequency and potential financial impact of each event. In addition, key strategic risks are evaluated using qualitative analysis of various scenarios. Based on both analyses combined, an overview is obtained of the extent and changes in the exposure to this type of risk.
The management of strategic risks is mainly through prevention. Individual strategic risks are mitigated through preventive activities. Strategic risks are also managed through on-going monitoring of the realisation of short- and long-term goals, by monitoring regulatory changes and market development.
The main risks that the Group is exposed to are underwriting risks followed by market risks. The realisation of underwriting risks is fortuitous and only for certain classes of insurance seasonal. A major increase in realised underwriting risks could be expected as a result of an increased frequency of storms with massive losses, while an increase in realised financial risks could be expected as a result of unfavourable trends in financial markets.
Although the merger process that combined four Sava Re Group companies was formally completed on 2 November 2016, some risks related to the merging of processes and the realisation of synergistic effects in Zavarovalnica Sava persist.

The selected notes to the half-yearly financial statements are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group in the first half-year 2017 as compared to both the first half-year 2016 and end-of-year 2016.
The financial statements with notes have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".
Pursuant to IAS 34, notes are provided in relation to major business events that are required to understand the financial position and performance of the Group compared to the previous annual financial report prepared for 2016.
The financial statements with notes as at and for the six months to 30 June 2017 have not been audited.
The interim financial statements as at 30 June 2017 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2016.
The operations of the Group are not seasonal in nature. Pursuant to underwriting rules, Group insurance companies defer costs/expenses and income that, by their nature, may or is required to be deferred also at the year-end.
There were no items unusual because of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the period 1–6/2017.
Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2 % thereof at 30 June 2017, which is € 6 million. Changes in the balance of statement of financial position items that did not exceed the set materiality threshold have not been presented in detail in interim financial statements. Disclosures and notes that the Group is required to present under IAS 34 or statutory requirements are given in the report, even though they may not exceed the materiality threshold.
The Group did not issue any new debt or equity securities. However, in the first half of 2017 it fully repaid the subordinated debt of the controlling company taken out in 2006 and 2007 to support the expansion of the Sava Re Group to the markets of the Western Balkans.
In preparing the interim report, the Group complies with the same principles relating to estimates as in the preparation of its annual report.
Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments have been formed based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks and the environment in which companies operate).
Subject to the nature, scope and organisation of work, CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) is a group composed of management board members, executive director of finance, executive director of accounting, executive director of corporate finance and controlling. CODM can monitor quarterly the results of operations by segments. These results include technical results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions. All figures reviewed by CODM are part of quarterly financial reports submitted to the management board.
Operating segments include reinsurance business, non-life insurance business, life insurance business, and the "other" segment. Non-life and life insurance business are separately monitored whether sourced in Slovenia or abroad (international); the major part of the reinsurance segment is foreign-sourced. 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.

The reinsurers' share of technical provisions increased by € 7.5 million or 26.5 % compared to 31 December 2016. The largest increase was recorded in unearned premiums (€ 6.5 million) as a result of seasonal movements: establishment of high unearned premiums for coverages for which the full-year premiums were booked at the beginning of the year (especially non-proportional coverages and surplus covers for large industrial risks. The increase in the provision for outstanding claims (€ 0.5 million or 2.5 %) was the result of additions for a major property claim in Macedonia (€ 1.9 million) partially set of by payments of past major claims.

In 2006 and 2007, the controlling company raised a subordinated loan in the nominal amount of € 32 million scheduled to mature in 2027. Under the contractual provisions, the remaining nominal amount of € 24 million could be early repaid as of 2017. After receiving the approval of the Slovenian Insurance Supervision Agency, the controlling company repaid the subordinated debt in the nominal amount of € 24 million on 15 March 2017 and 14 June 2017.
Technical provisions increased by € 56.7 million or 6.2 % compared to 31 December 2016. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (€ 51.5 million) as a result of seasonal movements (establishment of high unearned premiums for coverages for which the full-year premiums were booked at the beginning of the year) and of non-life premium growth. The gross provision for traditional life policies increased by 1.7 % (or € 4.7 million), as a result of aging and growth of the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including pension annuity business (during the distribution phase). The gross provision for outstanding claims decreased by 0.2 % (€ 1.0 million), mainly due to favourable exchange differences for the controlling company and due to the settlement of losses relating to the previous years, i.e. releases of over-prudent provisions in the Slovenian Group members (decline by € 5.1 million), which offset the increase in the provision for outstanding claims established by other Group companies due to an unfavourable loss experience (most relating to a large claim in Macedonia of € 2.9 million). Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 3.2 % or € 7.3 million, mainly due to maturities and the acquisition of the DWS funds. Other technical provisions (bonuses and discounts, unexpired risks) account for a smaller share and grew in total by € 1.5 million.

Accounting currency. A local currency used in the accounting documentation. Reinsurance contracts may be accounted for using various accounting currencies. Generally, this is the currency in which are denominated liabilities and receivables in relation to the cedant, and hence also the reinsurer.
Administrative expense ratio. The ratio of operating expenses net of acquisition costs and change in deferred acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written.
Associate. An entity over which the investor has significant influence (the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions) and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
Book value per share. Ratio of total equity to weighted average number of shares outstanding.
Business continuity plan. Document comrising procedures for ensuring continuity of key business processes and systems. The contingency plan is an integral part of the business continuity plan, setting out technical and organisational measures to return to normal operation and minimise the consequences of severe business disruptions.
BVAL price. Engl. Bloomberg valuation price. The price obtained from the Bloomberg information system.
Capital fund. Assets representing the capital of the Company.
CBBT price. Engl. Composite Bloomberg Bond Trader price. Closing price available in the Bloomberg information system based on binding bids.
Cedant, cede, cession. A cedant is the client of a reinsurance company. To cede is to transfer part of any risk an insurer has underwritten to a reinsurer. The part thus transferred to any reinsurer is called a cession.
Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). CODM may refer to a person responsible for monitoring an operating segment or to a group of persons responsible for allocating resources, and monitoring and assessing performance. CODM is a function and not a title.
