Notes:

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

Net investment income of the investment portfolio does not include net investment income from assets pertaining to policyholders who bear the investment risk because 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.

The table below compares actual figures against figures planned for the full year 2019:

EUR million 1–6/2019 2019 plan As % of plan
Sava Insurance Group
Total income, other than from investments 273.4 > 535 51.1%
Profit or loss, net of tax 22.6 ≥ 43.0 52.5%
Annualised return on equity 12.5% > 12%
Investment return, excluding the effect of exchange
differences
2.3% 1.7%
(Re)insurance part
Gross premiums written 336.8 > 555 60.7%
Net premiums earned 259.2 > 515 50.3%
Net expense ratio (reins. + non-life + life) 31.4% 32.4–33.0%
Net incurred loss ratio, excluding the effect of exchange
differences (reins. + non-life)
60.8% 59.2–59.7%
Net combined ratio, excluding the effect of exchange
differences (reins. + non-life)
94.6% 93.6–94.1%

Since exchange differences were not factored into the plan, the table shows ratios excluding the effect of exchange differences.

In the period 1–6/2019, the Sava Insurance Group achieved a net profit of EUR 22.6 million, which is 52.5% of the lower value of the planned range for the full year 2019 and a 59.3% increase year on year. The expense ratio for the first half of the year was better than planned as expenses grew slower than net premiums earned. The net combined ratio for the first half of the year was slightly poorer than planned due to a less favourable loss ratio of the reinsurance segment (in the first half of 2019 there was a downturn in the development of previous underwriting years) and non-Slovenian non-life business (impact of larger net claims incurred by Croatian non-life insurers). The investment return was better than planned. The operating revenue of the Sava Insurance Group accounts for 51.1% of the full-year target figure, and we estimate that the full-year 2019 target will be achieved by the year end. We believe that the Group will achieve its performance targets for the full year 2019.

Sava Insurance Group interim business report

2 Review of operations and financial result of the Sava Insurance Group5

Business is presented by operating segment: reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions and the "other" segment. The non-life and life segments are further broken down by geography (Slovenia and international).

The following companies are included in the operating segments:

  • Reinsurance business: Sava Re (extra-Group business), 30% of Sava Terra;
  • Non-life business, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (Slovenian part), 70% of Sava Terra;
  • Non-life business, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (Croatian part), Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia), Illyria, Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro), Sava Osiguruvanje (North Macedonia), ERGO Osiguranje, Illyria Hospital, Sava Car, Sava Agent, Sava Station;
  • Life business, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (Slovenian part), ZS Svetovanje, Ornatus KC;
  • Life business, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (Croatian part), Sava Životno Osiguranje (Serbia), Illyria Life, ERGO Životno Osiguranje
  • Pension business: Sava Pokojninska, Sava Penzisko Društvo;
  • Other: TBS Team 24, Sava Infond (only balance sheet as at 30 June 2019 but not income statement), ZTSR (equity method), G2I (equity method).

For the purpose of segment reporting, we have also made the following reallocations of income statement items:

  • Reallocations are made from the reinsurance segment to the other segments (Sava Re as the parent company handles the reinsurance of most risks of the subsidiaries within the Sava Insurance Group): in the segment reporting information, reinsurance premiums received by the reinsurer from the subsidiaries are reallocated to the segments from where they arose. The same applies, by analogy, to reinsurance-related claims, commission income, change in unearned premiums, claims provisions and deferred acquisition costs due to reinsurance. In the elimination process, the portions of business retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers is not allocated to the segments. Retrocession-related expenses usually exceed income (except in the case of catastrophic claims). In order to provide a more appropriate presentation of profitability by segment, the result of retroceded business is also allocated to the segment where it arose. All these items are adjusted only in the part relating to the risks of subsidiaries retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers.
  • Other operating expenses relating to the reinsurance segment are reduced by the portion of expenses attributable to the administration of the Sava Insurance Group. Sava Re operates as a virtual holding company; hence, a part of its expenses relates to the administration of the Group. Such expenses relating to the reinsurance segment are allocated to other segments based on gross premiums written. Such reallocation is made also for other operating expenses relating to intra-group reinsurance transactions. In the period 1–6/2019, Sava Re allocated 64.0% of other operating expenses to segments as monitored by income composition (1–6/2018: 64.4%). Furthermore, operating expenses of TBS Team 24 incurred by the company relating to its business with other Group companies were allocated to the Slovenian non-life operating segment. In the same way, income is eliminated in the consolidation process.
  • Investment income and expenses are reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life insurance segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters).

5 A glossary of selected insurance terms and calculation methods for ratios is appended to this report.

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

  • Intangible assets goodwill is allocated to the segment from which it arose (reallocated from the reinsurance segment to other segments depending on which subsidiary it relates to).
  • The balance of financial investments is reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters).
  • The 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 indent one of adjustments to income statement items.
  • Equity is reallocated from the reinsurance segment to other segments based on the cost of investments in subsidiaries (the sum total of carrying amounts of non-life insurers is reallocated to the non-life segment, and that of life insurers is reallocated to the life insurance and other segments).

TBS Team 24 was first included in the Sava Insurance Group consolidated financial statements on 31 January 2018, and the companies Energoprojekt Garant and Sava Penzisko Društvo on 31 March 2018. Energoprojekt Garant was merged with Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia) at year-end 2018. The acquisition of Sava Terra was completed in the third quarter of 2018. The first consolidated accounts of the Sava Insurance Group after Sava Terra joined were prepared as at 31 December 2018. The companies ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje joined the Sava Insurance Group on 31 March 2019, as the result of which they have been included in the consolidated income statement since 1 April 2019 and were already included in the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019. Sava Infond has been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Sava Insurance Group since 30 June 2019.

Consolidated gross profit or loss

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement

In the period 1–6/2019, exchange differences had a significant impact on the composition of the underwriting and investment results, which is why the results below are presented 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 EUR 0.8 million (1–6/2018: EUR 0.1 million positive effect); positive effect on the investment result of EUR 0.7 million (1–6/2018: EUR 0.1 million negative effect). The total negative effect of exchange differences on the 1–6/2019 result is EUR 0.07 million (1–6/2018: EUR 0.03 million negative effect).

Composition of the consolidated gross profit or loss by operating segment

2.1 Reinsurance business

Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 7.7 "Segment reporting". The reinsurance segment primarily reflects the developments in the portfolio that Sava Re writes outside Slovenia with extra-Group companies.

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 under the heading "Consolidated gross profit or loss" and refers to the reinsurance segment shown here.

The following graph shows profit or loss, excluding the effect of exchange differences.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business (excluding the effect of exchange differences)

The underwriting result excluding the impact of exchange differences was poorer in 1–6/2019 year on year, mainly as the result of a negative development (premium- and claims-wise) of previous underwriting years. The investment result excluding the effect of exchange differences was better in 1–6/2019 year on year due to higher income from the partial repayment of corporate bonds previously impaired, higher dividend distributions from financial investments and stronger income from investment properties.

Net premiums earned

Gross premiums written 56,330,966 52,820,955 106.6
Net premiums earned 40,177,552 42,053,722 95.5

In 1–6/2019, gross premiums written of this segment were 6.6% higher year on year. Premium growth was achieved in non-proportional reinsurance, especially in Asian markets (through organic growth and new contracts). In 1–6/2019, net premiums earned were 4.5% lower year on year due to a larger change in net unearned premiums as the result of faster growth of new business compared to the first half of 2018.

Net claims incurred 25,972,291 25,807,470 100.6

In 1–6/2019, net claims incurred increased by 5.1%. This increase is due to the higher claims incurred of non-proportional business (especially increased claims relating to old underwriting years) and the impact of foreign exchange differences (2019: negative impact of EUR 0.9 million; 2018: positive impact of EUR 0.2 million).

The incurred loss ratio relating to the reinsurance segment (excluding the effect of exchange differences) was 3.3 percentage points poorer year on year, at 64.6% (1–6/2018: 61.4%).

Net operating expenses 12,439,774 12,927,248 96.2

In 1–6/2019 acquisition costs rose by 5.8 % against a 6.6 % growth in gross premiums written. Acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written rose by 0.8 percentage points to 20.0% compared to 1–6/2018. The lower increase in commissions compared to gross premiums written is the result of a relative decline in proportional business, which earns higher commission rates than nonproportional business.

In 1–6/2019, the change in deferred acquisition costs was larger year on year, due to stronger growth in gross premiums written of new business in line with the movement in unearned premiums.

Other operating expenses increased by 5.9%, primarily due to personnel costs following expanded business operations and service costs related to IT development.

In 1–6/2019, the net expense ratio deteriorated by 0.3 percentage points to 31.0% as the result of lower net premiums earned. Acquisition costs, including the change in deferred acquisition costs, were down 3.9% year on year.

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio; reinsurance business 6.0

Net investment income

Income/expenses include income/expenses relating to investment property. These are shown in the income statement under other income/expenses.

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

In 1–6/2019, net investment income totalled EUR 2.4 million, up EUR 0.6 million year on year. Net investment income strengthened as the result of a partial repayment of a bond previously impaired (+ EUR 0.4 million), more dividend income from financial investments (+ EUR 0.2 million) and stronger income from investment property (+ EUR +0.2 million). The return on investment for the period was 2.6%.

2.2 Non-life business

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

  • Zavarovalnica Sava, non-life
  • Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro)
  • Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia)
  • Sava Osiguruvanje (North Macedonia)
  • Illyria
  • Sava Car
  • Sava Agent
  • Sava Station
  • ERGO Osiguranje

ERGO Osiguranje joined the Sava Insurance Group on 31 March 2019 and has, therefore, already been included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2019, in the income statement since 1 April 2019. 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 7.7 "Segment reporting".

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

In 1–6/2019, the non-life segment recorded a (EUR 10.3 million) better gross consolidated result year on year. This is the combined result of a EUR 12.7 million better result of the Slovenian insurer and a EUR 2.4 million weaker result of non-Slovenian insurers.

The consolidated underwriting result of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 10.0 million, mainly driven by growth in net premiums earned, while net claims incurred were down in 1–6/2019 year on year. Last year's net claims incurred were larger because of the hail storms in southeast Slovenia and increasing motor insurance claims (especially motor casco). The decline in the non-Slovenian underwriting result of non-life insurers of EUR 2.4 million is chiefly attributable to higher net claims incurred of Croatian non-life insurers.

The investment result of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 2.0 million as the result of a one-off income from the revaluation of the stake in Sava Infond held by Zavarovalnica Sava of EUR 2.7 million. The investment result of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers remained at about the year-onyear level.

The result of other income and expenses of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 0.7 million, chiefly due to lower other expenses in this half year. This year, a change has been made in the presentation of discounts for advance payments: last year, they were recorded as other expenses, this year, as a reduction in gross premiums written. The result of other income and expenses of non-Slovenian non-life insurers remained at the year-on-year level.

Gross non-life insurance premiums grew by 11.0% in 1–6/2019 as the result of growth in gross non-life premiums of all non-life insurers.

Slovenia-sourced gross non-life premiums grew by 9.5%. Growth was chiefly driven by expanding motor business. A large part of the growth relates to private motor insurance business where the number of policies is rising, along with growth in the average premiums on packages. In addition, favourable economic conditions with rising sales of motor vehicles boosted the sale of upmarket motor insurance packages. There was also an increase in property gross premiums written due to a change in the timing of renewing annual coverage for a large client that had been invoiced in the second quarter of 2019 but not yet in the first quarter of 2019. The Slovenian non-life insurance market grew at a rate of 7.0% in the period.

Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 18.2%. Growth was mainly driven by the inclusion of the Croatian non-life insurer ERGO into the Sava Insurance Group as of 1 April 2019. With the largest jump in absolute terms in motor premiums, chiefly as the result of the better sales in Croatia, where amended insurance terms and conditions were introduced. Gross motor premiums also rose in the North Macedonian and Serbian non-life insurers. In Montenegro gross premium growth was chiefly contributed by aviation business. Net non-life insurance premiums earned abroad grew by 14.9% in 1–6/2019.

Total net premiums earned grew by 12.6%.

Consolidated gross claims paid relating to Slovenian business remained on the year-on-year level in 1–6/2019. Motor liability claims of Zavarovalnica Sava increased year on year because of one large claim and higher average reported incurred claims, while property gross claims written declined. This is because a large amount of weather-related claims were paid in the first half of 2018.

Gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business rose by 27.4%. In absolute terms, growth was mainly driven by the inclusion of the non-life insurer ERGO into the Sava Insurance Group. The largest increase was in motor liability claims, followed by motor casco claims. The main reason for the rise in motor claims is a rise in the number of reported claims, which is related to the high growth in the sale of these policies and strengthened external distribution channels and online sales.

Non-life business, international 17,295,655 15,172,203 114.0

Consolidated acquisition costs were up by 28.8%. The rise in acquisition costs was due to the growth in premiums written through agencies and the inclusion of ERGO into the Sava Insurance Group on 31 March 2019.

Consolidated other operating expenses declined by 1.6%, largely as the result of reduced other operating expenses of the Slovenian non-life insurer. The largest fall was in personnel costs because the bonuses paid out in the first half of 2019 had been accounted already in 2018, whereas those paid in the first half of last year were accounted as the expense of the period.

Consolidated gross expense ratio; non-life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-life segment dropped by 1.3 p.p. due to the growth in gross premiums written of the Slovenian non-life insurer (decrease in the gross expense ratio of 1.4 p.p.) and growth in gross premiums written of foreign non-life insurers (decrease in the gross expense ratio of 1.5 p.p.).

  • Sava Pokojninska

Gross inflows into the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension company rose by 4.3% in the period 1–6/2019 year on year. Growth was chiefly driven by an increase in the number of policyholders.

In the period 1–6/2019, gross fund outflows from the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension insurer declined by 1.3% year on year. Gross outflows may relate to regular or extraordinary terminations. The major part of the latter related to exits.

Net investment income from the funds of EUR 4.7 million is attributable to favourable developments in financial markets in the first half of 2019 (above-average returns).

Entry and exit charges relating to the My-Life-Cycle group of funds dropped by 0.6% in the period 1– 6/2019 year on year.

Net investment income from the pension companies' investment portfolio totalled EUR 0.5 million in 1–6/2019. In addition to the one-off impact of a partial repayment of a bond previously impaired, net investment income strengthened as the result of the appreciation and gains on the disposal of assets at fair value through profit or loss of EUR 2 million at Sava Pokojninska and higher interest income at Sava Penzisko Društvo of EUR 0.7 million. The return on investment for the period was 3.8%.

This "other" segment comprises the subsidiaries Sava Infond and TBS Team 24, and the two associates ZTSR and G2I (consolidated using the equity method). TBS Team 24 and Sava Infond were first included in the consolidated accounts on 31 January 2018 and 30 June 2019, respectively. The "other" segment contributed EUR 0.3 million (EUR 1.4 million in income and EUR 1.0 million in expenses, including investment expenses) to the consolidated result in 1–6/2019.

3.1.1 Intangible assets

As at 30 June 2019, intangible assets (1) totalled EUR 62.0 million, up 67.0% compared to 31 December 2018. The rise in this item is mainly the result of the increase in goodwill following the acquisition of Sava Infond (temporary allocation).

3.1.2 Property, plant and equipment

As at 30 June 2019, property, plant and equipment assets (2) totalled EUR 51.3 million, up 19.5% compared to 31 December 2018. The increase is mainly the result of recognising right-of-use assets from long-term leases of land, buildings and equipment in line with the new standard IFRS 16 "Leases", effective as of 1 January 2019. For more details, see section 7.9.2 "Property, plant and equipment".

3.1.3 Investment portfolio

The investment portfolio consists of the following statement of financial position items: financial investments (6), investment property (4), financial investments in associates (5), and cash and cash equivalents (13).

As at 30 June 2019, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,097.7 million, an increase of EUR 14.9 million from year-end 2018. Positive effects on the balance of the investment portfolio stem from the change in accrued interest, fair value gains, realised gains on the disposal of financial investments and dividend income. Net cash flow from core (re)insurance business was negative in the reporting period.

Composition of the investment portfolio

* The "other" item comprises deposits with cedants, loans given and financial investments in associates.

Composition of fixed-income investments

As at 30 June 2019, fixed-income investments accounted for 92.2% of the portfolio, roughly the same as at 31 December 2018. The following movements in the structure of fixed-income investments have been seen:

  • lower exposure to government bonds and government-guaranteed corporate bonds of EUR 30.9 million (a 3.5-percentage-point decline in the proportion of fixed-income investments), largely due to investments reaching maturity;
  • increased risk exposure to conventional corporate, subordinated and covered bonds in the amount of EUR 15.6 million. The value of investments in regular corporate bonds rose by EUR 10.1 million (larger proportion of fixed-income investments by 0.6 percentage points); the value of subordinated corporate bonds grew by EUR 5.2 million (higher proportion of fixedincome investments by 0.5 percentage points); the value of investments in covered bond remained on the year-end (31 December 2018) level;
  • increase in cash and cash equivalents of EUR 16.1 million (1.4 percentage point rise in the proportion of fixed-income investments).
    • 3.1.4 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 (7). Most unit-linked products in the Sava Insurance Group are marketed by Zavarovalnica Sava.

Funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk are invested in financial investments (mainly in mutual funds selected by policyholders) and cash. As at 30 June 2019, funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled EUR 222.9, of which EUR 214.1 million was financial investments and EUR 8.8 million was cash and cash equivalents. Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk grew by EUR 7.0 million compared to the previous year end. The growth is mainly due to the positive change in the market value of investments of EUR 12.8 million and accrued interest. Negative effects include core business cash outflows due to maturities and transfers between funds due to dividend payouts.

3.1.5 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

The reinsurers' and coinsurers' share of technical provisions (8) increased by EUR 9.6 million, or 35.3%, compared to 31 December 2018. Unearned premiums increased by EUR 8.9 million (of which EUR 9.1 million related to Slovenian non-life insurance and FOS business), which is the result of the deferment of premiums for the new underwriting year, which are mostly written at the beginning of the year. Claims provisions increased by EUR 0.7 million on account of new claim reports or reports on increased claims.

3.1.6 Investment contract assets

The investment contract assets item (9) includes liability fund assets relating to the life cycle funds "MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla" that have been managed by the Sava Pokojninska pension company for the benefit of policyholders since 1 January 2016. This group consists of three long-term business funds: Moj Dinamični Sklad (My Dynamic Fund, MDF), Moj Uravnoteženi Sklad (My Balanced Fund, MBF) (in which policyholders bear the full investment risk) and Moj Zajamčeni Sklad (My Guaranteed Fund, MGF), in which policyholders bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed funds. As at 30 June 2019, investment contract assets totalled EUR 142.5 million, up 5.1% compared to 31 December 2018. The increase in investment contract assets relates to net flows (EUR 2.3 million; in the reporting period, premiums totalled EUR 5.4 million and outflows EUR 3.1 million) and the positive change in the fair value reserve (EUR 4.7 million).

As at 30 June 2019, financial investments accounted for 87.9% of total assets; the remaining amount comprises receivables, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

Assets under the management of Sava Penzisko Društvo are not shown in the Company's statement of financial position; these amounts are shown in section 2.4 "Pension business".

3.1.7 Receivables

Receivables (10) rose by 34.4%, or EUR 48.3 million, compared to year-end 2018 (1–6/2018: increase of 25.1% or EUR 34.8 million). A higher increase in receivables in the first half year is normal.

Increases were recorded in all types of receivables. The largest increase was with receivables arising from primary insurance business, up EUR 45.8 million, or 36.2%, compared to 31 December 2018; however, the lion's share of this increase relates to not-past-due receivables (EUR 41.6 million). In absolute terms, the largest increase was in the non-life segment in Slovenia (increase of EUR 28.9 million; 1–6/2018: EUR 19.0 million), in the reinsurance segment (increase of EUR 12.9 million; 1– 6/2018: EUR 8.9 million) and in the international non-life segment (increase of EUR 3.4 million; 1– 6/2018: of EUR 2.8 million). The reason for the increase in the non-life segment is the annual renewal of insurance contracts with legal entities; in the reinsurance segment, the increase is due to the renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the timing of making estimates for reinsurance business. The increase in the international non-life segment was also due to the integration of ERGO Osiguranje, which held EUR 0.7 million in receivables arising out of primary insurance business as at 30 June 2019.

3.2.1 Equity

Equity (1) increased by 6.0%, or EUR 20.5 million, compared to year-end 2018. In the period 1–6/2019, equity increased by the amount of net profit of EUR 22.6 million and EUR 12.8 million due to the increase in the fair value reserve reflecting the remeasurement of available-for-sale financial assets. A charge against equity was the dividend payment of EUR 14.7 million.

3.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item under liabilities. The figure as at 30 June 2019 was an increase of 7.0%, or EUR 64.1 million, over year-end 2018. The largest growth (EUR 65.2 million) was in gross unearned premiums, which is due to the faster growth in non-life insurance portfolios and the method of setting unearned premiums (deferment): high unearned premiums are set aside for annual premiums written at the beginning of the underwriting year. These are then gradually amortised over the year, and only on 31 December 2019 will they be comparable to the unearned premiums as at 31 December 2018.

Development of consolidated gross technical provisions

EUR 30/06/2019 31/12/2018 Index
Gross unearned premiums 249,339,598 184,101,835 135.4
Gross mathematical provisions 240,518,088 254,849,366 94.4

Gross technical provisions 984,631,050 920,491,487 107.0

The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 7.6%, or EUR 11.9 million, compared to year-end 2018. The increase is the result of (i) growth in unearned premiums reflecting the business growth in 2019 and (ii) the timing of underwriting reinsurance business, while claims provisions fell by EUR 2.1 million.

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life segment grew by 14.0%, or EUR 68.9 million, compared to year-end 2018. Of this, EUR 51.4 million related to the growth in unearned premiums in line with the growth in premium income (1–6/2018: growth of EUR 43.9 million), while provisions for outstanding claims grew by EUR 12.0 million compared to year-end 2018 (chiefly as the result of new acquisitions).

Gross mathematical provisions decreased by 5.6% (or EUR 14.3 million) because the decline due to maturity benefits exceeded growth owing to aging of insured persons plus the growth in the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including the newly acquired portfolio and pension annuity business in the distribution phase.

Other technical provisions (provisions for bonuses, rebates and cancellations, and other provisions) account for a smaller proportion and grew by a total of EUR 1.1 million. The increase mainly stems from new writings and higher unearned premiums.

3.2.3 Technical provisions for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk

Gross provisions for unit-linked life business (4) totalled EUR 215.4 million as at 30 June 2019 and increased by 2.6%, or EUR 5.4 million, mainly due to new writings and the integration of ERGO Životno Osiguranje into the Group.

3.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 142.4 million as at 30 June 2019, up 5.1%, or EUR 7.0 million, from year-end 2018. They moved in line with investment contract assets depending on new inflows, outflows and movements in fund unit prices.

3.2.5 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities from operating activities (9) increased by 18.9%, or EUR 10.3 million, from year-end 2018, reflecting increased liabilities from reinsurance and coinsurance business (EUR 8.9 million) and liabilities from primary insurance business (EUR 4.0 million). Current income tax liabilities fell by EUR 2.6 million.

3.2.6 Diverse liabilities

Diverse liabilities (10) increased by 43.4%, or EUR 14.6 million, from year-end 2018 as the result of the integration of ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje into the Group as well as the effect of the initial recognition of liabilities under the new standard IFRS 16 "Leases".

3.3 Capital structure

As at 30 June 2019, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 360.7 million in equity. It held no subordinated debt and was thus exclusively financed from equity.

3.4 Cash flow

In the period 1–6/2019, the Sava Insurance Group's net cash from operating activities was negative, at EUR 11.0 million (1-6/2018: positive net cash of EUR 0.1 million). The rise in the net cash outflow from operating activities stemmed from maturing life policies.

In 1–6/2019, the Sava Insurance Group recorded a negative cash flow from financing activities of EUR 15.0 million (largely because of dividend distributions); in 1–6/2018, the negative cash flow was EUR 12.5 million.

The net cash and cash equivalents in the period 1–6/2019 decreased by EUR 14.4 as the result of lower operating cash flow due to maturing life policies.

3.5 Sava Re rating profile

Sava Re is rated by two rating agencies, Standard & Poor's and AM Best.

Number of employees by Sava Insurance Group member

The table above shows the number of employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. The number of employees of insurance companies is subject to change, mainly due to fluctuations in the agency network. The rise in the Group's headcount also reflects new acquisitions (180.1).

5 Risk management

In their operation, the Group companies are exposed to various categories of risk: 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. The Group companies identify, measure, manage, monitor and report on these risks in line with prescribed risk management processes. In addition, these risk management processes are set up at the Group level. The processes and methods of measuring and managing risk, and the exposure of the Group to the various categories of risk are detailed in the Sava Insurance Group annual report 2018 and are therefore not repeated in this report.

5.1 Capital adequacy and capital management in the Sava Insurance Group

The Sava Insurance Group uses the Solvency II standard formula for its solvency calculations. The most recent solvency calculation was carried out as at 31 December 2018. As at 31 December 2018, the Group was well capitalised and had a solvency ratio of 218%. Details on the valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's SCR as at 31 December 2018 are set out in the "Sava Insurance Group Solvency and financial condition report 2018" and are available on the Sava Re website.

The Group's eligible own funds as at 31 March 201912 increased somewhat compared to 31 December 2018, while the risk profile remained roughly the same compared to year-end 2018, remaining in line with the Group's risk management strategy. The Group's solvency ratio as at 31 March 2019 stood at 222% (calculated using the Group's solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2018 and eligible own funds as at 31 March 2019). The Group has a strong solvency ratio and its insolvency risk is small.

5.2 Underwriting risk

The Group's subsidiaries assume risk from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risk to Sava Re. The parent also assumes such risk from other cedants; any excess is retroceded to other reinsurers.

The Group is exposed to the following non-life underwriting risks: underwriting process risk (insurance and reinsurance), pricing risk, claims risk, retention risk and reserving risk. Its life operations are exposed to lapse risk, mortality risk and life expense risk.

An increase in realised underwriting risk would essentially result in an increase in net claims. As the Group has in place an adequate retrocession programme, it is not exposed to the risk of a sharp increase in net claims, not even in the case of catastrophic losses. A more likely scenario that the Group is exposed to is the deterioration of the net combined ratio as a result of an increase in claims or expenses along with a decrease in premiums. A rise/drop in the Group's net combined ratio of one percentage point would decrease/increase its profit before tax by EUR 2.24 million (30/06/2018: EUR 2.1 million).

The Group's exposure to underwriting risk did not change significantly in the first half of 2019 compared to year-end 2018. Reinsurance and retrocession protection increased in line with the growth in business volume. In addition to contracts for covering FOS business, we wrote an aggregate cover for Slovenia to protect against a higher frequency of catastrophe events and arranged an additional reinstatement for events abroad along with an increase in the treaty capacity.

12 Most recent data as at the reporting date. Eligible own funds are calculated and reported later than IFRS data.

5.3 Financial risks

In their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks, such as market, liquidity, and credit risk as well as the risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns on life business.

The risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns also includes the risk of investment contracts relating to the long-term business funds of the voluntary supplementary pension insurance (VSPI) that Sava Pokojninska manages for the benefit of policyholders.

5.3.1 Risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns

Investment contracts

The Group classifies as investment contracts its voluntary supplementary pension insurance (VSPI) business of the Sava Pokojninska pension company during the accumulation phase, which is part of the company's group of liability funds (MY-Life-Cycle funds).

The value of the investments covering investment contract liabilities totalled EUR 142.5 million as at 30 June 2019, up EUR 6.9 million from 31 December 2018.

The risk of failure to achieve the guaranteed return did not increase in the period.

Traditional and unit-linked life insurance contracts

With regard to its traditional and unit-linked life insurance business with a guaranteed unit value, the insurer is exposed to the risk of failure to realise the guaranteed return. The impact of failing to achieve the guaranteed return taking into account registers where the guaranteed return exceeds book return in the period 1–6/2019 was assessed at EUR 473.7 thousand.

5.3.2 Market risk

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk as at 30 June 2019 of EUR 1,171.1 million grew by EUR 6.2 million since 31 December 2018.

Interest rate risk

The value of investments included in the interest-rate risk calculation as at 30 June 2019 was EUR 934.7 million (31/12/2018: EUR 930.2 million). Of this, EUR 609.0 million (31/12/2018: EUR 580.3 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers and the reinsurer and EUR 325.8 million (31/12/2018: EUR 350.7 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life insurance and reinsurance assets was 3.07 years as at 30 June 2019 (31/12/2018: 2.98 years), while the expected maturity of non-life and reinsurance obligations was 2.40 years (31/12/2018: 2.77 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 3.64 years as at 30 June 2019 (31/12/2018: 3.48 years), while the expected duration of life insurance obligations was 5.74 (31/12/2018: 4.39).

The maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities increased modestly, resulting in a rise in interest risk.

Equity risk

The value of investments that the Company included in the equity risk calculation totalled EUR 18.3 million as at 30 June 2019 (31/12/2018: EUR 18.5 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 1.8 million (31/12/2018: EUR 1.9 million).

The risk remained at about the same level as at year-end 2018.

Alternative investment risk

As at 30 June 2019, the Group's alternative investments totalled EUR 29.5 million (31/03/2018: EUR 25.9 million), comprising infrastructure fund investments and investment property. The risk of alternative investments has been determined based on stressed values as prescribed under Solvency II regulations for the capital adequacy calculation. A drop of 25% was used for investment property and a drop of 49% for infrastructure funds, since we did not apply a look-through approach to these funds, which resulted in an absolute decrease of EUR 9.4 million in total (31/12/2018: EUR 7.7 million).

There was a marginal increase in risk compared to year-end 2018.

Currency risk

The Company monitors the matching of assets and liabilities by both the ALM aspect (by accounting currency) and the accounting aspect (by transaction currency). As at 30 June 2019, the position was 96.5% matched according to the ALM aspect (31/12/2018: 96.8%) and 97.0% matched according to the accounting aspect (31/12/2018: 98.8%).

The risk of a currency mismatch increased slightly in the reporting period.

5.3.3 Credit risk

As at 30 June 2019, fixed-income investments rated "A" or better accounted for 62.5% of the total fixed-income portfolio (31/12/2018: 68.2%). In the 2019 reporting period, the share of the best-rated investments dropped compared to the prior year-end. This is due to the increased balance of deposits and cash equivalents (unrated).

As at 30 June 2019, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 382.0 million, representing 32.6% of financial investments (31/12/2018: EUR 403.5 million; 34.6%), with the largest exposure of the Group to any single issuer, the Republic of Slovenia (30/06/2019: EUR 76.8 million; 6.6%; 31/12/2018: EUR 138.8 million; 11.9%), while exposure to any other single commercial issuer does not exceed 2.3% of financial investments.

Based on the above, we estimate that particularly through reducing their exposure to Slovenia and increased diversification by issuer, region and industry the Sava Insurance Group companies managed their exposure to credit risk well in 1–6/2019, reducing it compared to year-end 2018.

5.3.4 Liquidity risk

In the reporting period, the Company did not change the monitoring or management of liquidity risk. Nor were there any indications of any increase in such risk.

We believe that liquidity risk is low and well managed.

5.4 Operational risks

The Group periodically measures operational risks in terms of qualitative assessment of the probability of loss and financial severity of risks listed in the risk register, while the EU-based companies additionally use scenario analysis.

Operational risks are not among the Group's most significant risks. We assess that in the second quarter the Group's exposure to this category of risk remained at about the level at year-end 2018.

5.5 Strategic risks

Strategic risks are by nature very diverse, difficult to quantify and heavily dependent on various (including external) factors. The Group and its members are exposed to a diverse range of internal and external strategic risks.

Strategic risks are assessed qualitatively in the risk register by assessing the probability of loss and the potential financial severity of each event. Additionally, we seek to quantify key strategic risks by analysing diverse scenarios.

In the second quarter, the Group's exposure to strategic risk remained at about the same level as at year-end 2018.

5.6 Risk exposure up until year-end 2019

The main risks that the Group is exposed to remained underwriting risk, followed by market risk. The realisation of underwriting risk is fortuitous. Underwriting risk could be realised to a larger extent as a result of a larger number of catastrophic events (in Slovenia and abroad), while the realisation of financial risk could increase owing to unfavourable trends in financial markets.

Unaudited consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period 1 January – 30 June 2018

7 Notes to the consolidated financial statements

The selected notes to the half yearly financial statements are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group in the first six months of 2019 as compared to both the first six months of 2018 and the year-end 2018.

7.1 Overview of major accounting policies

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

In accordance with IAS 34, explanatory notes are provided for events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual financial report prepared for 2018.

The financial statements with notes as at and for the six months to 30 June 2019 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements as at 30 June 2019 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2018, except for the policies related to IFRS 16 "Leases". As at 1 January 2019, the Group recognised right-of-use assets and lease liabilities relating to its leases. Right-of-use assets were initially measured at cost, while lease liabilities were measured at the present value of future lease payments. After the recognition, the Group measures right-of-use assets at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Lease payments associated with short-term leases and low-value leases are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

7.2 Seasonality and cyclicality of interim operations

The operations of the Group are not seasonal in nature. Pursuant to underwriting rules, the Group's insurance companies defer those costs (expenses and income) that may or must be deferred at the year end.

7.3 Nature and amount of extraordinary items

There were no extraordinary items in terms of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the period 1–6/2019.

7.4 Materiality

Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2% thereof, which is EUR 7.2 million as at 30 June 2019. 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.

7.5 Issuance, repurchase, and repayment of debt and equity securities

The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.

7.6 Key accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing the interim report, the Group complies with the same principles relating to estimates as in the preparation of its annual report.

7.7 Segment reporting

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).

Business is broken down by operating segment: reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions and the "other" segment. Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, a common performance indicator for all segments being net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs. The management board monitors performance by segment to the level of underwriting results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions on a quarterly basis.

7.8 Business combinations

On 27 February 2019, Zavarovalnica Sava satisfied all suspensive conditions, becoming the sole owner of the companies ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje. The first consolidated accounts of the Sava Insurance Group after the Croatian companies joined were prepared as at 31 March 2019.

The Group is planning to transfer the portfolios of the acquired companies to the Croatia-based branch office of Zavarovalnica Sava, after which the ERGO companies will be wound up. Owing to the above, the identified badwill of EUR 7.5 million was temporarily transferred to other liabilities. The following tables show the fair value of the net assets of the acquired companies in the business combinations.

7.9.3 Financial investments

At the end of the half year 2019, financial investments totalled EUR 1,006.5 million and remained at the year-end 2018 level. Compared to the end of last year, the asset mix changed somewhat. Held-tomaturity assets shrank due to maturing investments, while there was an increase in the fair-valuethrough-profit-or-loss group of assets (more subordinated bond investments) as well as in the loans and receivables category.

7.9.4 Receivables

Receivables grew by EUR 48.4 million compared to the balance as at year-end 2018, chiefly due to the annual renewal of insurance contracts with legal entities but partly also because of the annual renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business. The increase in receivables was partly driven by the acquisitions finalised in the first half year.

Compared to year-end 2018, the balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 13.8 million, and decreased by EUR 36.3 million compared to 31 March 2019. The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year was higher because of the lack of favourable reinvestment opportunities in financial markets. The decline compared to 31 March 2019 relates to the payment of the consideration to acquire a company and dividend distributions of the parent company.

7.9.7 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by EUR 64.1 million, or 7.0%, compared to 31 December 2018. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (EUR 65.2 million) and relates mainly to the establishment of high unearned premiums for coverages for which the annual premiums were accounted for at the inception of the coverage and partly to the growth in non-life insurance business. Gross claims provisions increased by 2.6% (EUR 12.2 million), of which the lion's share (EUR 6.2 million) relates to the acquisition of companies (ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje), the remaining reflecting direct insurance portfolio growth. The gross provision for traditional life policies decreased by 5.6% (or EUR 12.2 million) – as much as the decline due to maturity benefits exceeded growth owing to aging of insureds and the growth in the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including newly acquired companies and pension annuity business in the distribution phase. As part of other gross technical provisions, the provision for unexpired risks increased by EUR 0.9 million due to new writings and higher unearned premiums.

7.9.8 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities from operating activities rose by EUR 10.3 million from year-end 2018, primarily as the result of the renewal of annual reinsurance contracts and consequently higher liabilities for reinsurance and coinsurance premiums.

Non-current lease liabilities comprise those relating to operating leases (most liabilities) and finance leases, in line with the new standard IFRS 16 "Leases". The increase from year-end 2018 of EUR 9.1 million relates to long-term operating leases.

7.9.10 Fair values of assets and liabilities

Shown is the change in fair value levels after 1–6/2019 compared to the year-end 2018, specifically due to the reclassification of debt instruments from level 2 into level 1. As at 31 December 2018, BID CBBT prices were unavailable for a large part of the bond portfolio; therefore, the Group used instead BVAL prices as at 31 December 2018. Consequently, debt instruments had to be shown one level lower (level 2), in accordance with the methodology for determining fair value levels. As at 30 June 2019, BID CBBT prices were available, which is why debt instruments could be reclassified from level 2 into level 1.

The Group changed its approach to recognising fair values of deposits. It believes that the carrying amount of deposits is a sufficient approximation of fair value because these are mainly short-term investments.

Appendix – Glossary of selected terms and calculation methodologies for indicators

Appendix – Glossary of selected terms and calculation methodologies for indicators

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.
  • Claims paid. Claims and benefits booked during a given period for claims resolved either fully or in part, including loss adjustment expenses. Gross/net – before/after deduction of reinsurance. Gross claims paid are gross claims paid less subrogation receivables. Net claims paid is short for net claims payments.
  • Claims risk. The risk that the number of claims or the average claim amount will be higher than expected.
  • Composite insurer. Insurer that writes both life and non-life business.
  • Comprehensive income. The sum of net profit for the period and other comprehensive income for the period, net of tax. The latter comprises the effects of other gains and losses not recognised in the income statement that affect equity, mainly through the fair value reserve.
  • Consolidated book value per share. Ratio of consolidated total equity to weighted average number of shares outstanding. Consolidated earnings per share. Ratio of net profit/loss attributable to equity holders of the controlling company as a percentage of the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
  • Credit risk. The risk of loss or of adverse change in the financial situation, resulting from fluctuations in the credit standing of issuers of securities, counterparties and any debtors to which insurance and reinsurance undertakings are exposed, in the form of counterparty default risk, or spread risk, or market risk concentrations.
  • Currency risk. The sensitivity of the values of assets, liabilities and financial instruments to changes in the level or in the volatility of currency exchange rates.
  • Dividend yield. Ratio of dividend per share to the average price per share in the period.
  • Earnings per share. Ratio of net profit/loss as a percentage of the weighted average number of shares outstanding.
  • EIOPA. European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority.
  • Eligible own funds. The value of own funds eligible to cover the solvency capital requirement.
  • Equity risk. The sensitivity of the values of assets, liabilities and financial instruments to changes in the level or in the volatility of market prices of equities.
  • Excess of loss reinsurance. A type of reinsurance in which the insurer agrees to pay a specified portion of a claim and the reinsurer agrees to pay all or a part of the claim above the specified currency amount or "retention".
  • Facultative reinsurance. A type of reinsurance under which the ceding company has the option to cede and the reinsurer has the option to accept or decline individual risks of the underlying policy. Typically used to reinsure large individual risks or for amounts in excess of limits on risks already reinsured elsewhere.
  • FATCA. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act; for details see http://www.sava-re.si/en/o-druzbi/FATCA/
  • Financial investments. Financial investments do not include financial investments in associates, investment property nor cash and cash equivalents.

  • FOS business. Freedom of Services business. Business written within the European Economic Area based on the freedom of services right to provide services on a cross-border basis.
