Growth in gross written premiums of 11.6% – strongest growth in the motor business, reflecting more policies sold and higher average premiums; growth also in the reinsurance segment, driven by higher rates in global reinsurance markets, and the capture of new business opportunities

Net profit of €40.0 million (1–6/2022: €11.1 million)
Better insurance service result for non-life, EU: in 1–6/2022 high inflationary pressures on claims (especially motor insurance): result normalised this year
Better insurance service result for reinsurance: higher insurance revenue, different claims structure (major claims covered by reinsurance) and a lower impact of inflation than in the previous year
Better investment result: in 1–6/2022, a significant negative impact of financial market developments on the net investment return from fair value losses on FVTPL investments

After 1–6/2023, Slovenia and the wider region was hit by a wave of storms and floods, which is expected to significantly impact Q3 earnings: impact estimated at €30–35 million
Subject to no additional catastrophic events, the full year profit target has been reduced by around 25%: estimated at approximately €40 million
