GROUP RESULTS

Highlights 1–6/2023

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

SEGMENT REPORTING

Non-life EU

Sava Insurance Group / Segment reporting 13 / 31

Life EU

Sava Insurance Group / Segment reporting 14 / 31

• Higher sales of single premium policies in 1–6/2022 – optimism in financial markets before the start of the war in Ukraine

  • Higher Insurance revenue due to change in business mix: more protection business (without investment components; these are excluded from insurance revenue)
  • Slightly higher incurred claims because of higher mortality and more accidents

• Fair value losses on FVTPL investments in 1–6/2022 due to financial market conditions

Reinsurance

Sava Insurance Group / Segment reporting 15 / 31

  • Positive price developments in reinsurance markets
  • Organic growth in business volume
  • Non-proportional reinsurance rates up more than 30%, mainly in the EU

  • Higher insurance revenue due to growth in nonproportional business
  • Changed composition of major claims, which triggered the Group's reinsurance protection to a greater extent and were therefore ceded to reinsurers
  • Impact of inflation on incurred claims in 1–6/2022

Non-life non-EU

Sava Insurance Group / Segment reporting 16 / 31

• Organic growth, especially in motor, health and property

Life non-EU

Sava Insurance Group / Segment reporting 17 / 31

• Increased sales through insurers' own distribution networks as well as through agents and banks

  • Higher insurance revenue reflecting portfolio growth
  • Lower incurred claims increased mortality due to Covid-19 in Serbia in 1–6/2022

• Higher interest revenue due to portfolio growth and higher reinvestment rates

Pensions and asset management

• Negative impact in 1–6/2022 from change in fair value of FVTPL investments and provisioning for non-achievement of guaranteed returns due to adverse financial market movements

• Positive net inflows in all companies and more favourable financial market trends
