2 Macroeconomic environment

Slovenia's gross domestic product (GDP) increased by 0.7%1 year on year in the second quarter of 2025. Growth was primarily driven by stronger private consumption and higher gross investment, with a significant contribution from the accumulation of inventories. Following the recent upgrade by S&P Global Ratings, Fitch Ratings has also raised Slovenia's sovereign rating from "A" to "A+", assigning a stable outlook.

According to Eurostat, Euro area GDP grew by 1.4% year on year in the second quarter of 20252 , while the European Central Bank (ECB) forecasts growth of 1.2% for 20253 . The ECB maintained its key interest rate at 2.15% during the third quarter. In contrast, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) reduced its key interest rate by 25 basis points, bringing it to 4.25%. While the ECB is expected to keep its interest rate unchanged, markets anticipate that the Fed will implement two additional rate cuts before yearend.

The annual inflation rate in the euro area increased to 2.2% in September 20254 , slightly above the ECB's target of 2.0% and the 2.0% recorded in the previous quarter. According to the ECB's latest projections, inflation in the euro area is expected to reach 2.1% in 2025 and moderate to 1.7% in 20265 .

The yield on risk-free bonds increased to 2.7% in the third quarter, compared to the previous quarter. The movement of bond yields will strongly depend on inflation dynamics, macroeconomic conditions and the interest rate stance of major central banks. The yield curve for risk-free bonds is projected to remain broadly unchanged until the end of the year.

Optimism persisted in equity markets during the third quarter, with major stock indices posting gains. Future developments in equity markets will depend not only on interest rate trends, but primarily on corporate performance and profit stability.

3 Review of Group operations

Business volume grew by 8.0% to EUR 879.6 million, with the largest contribution coming from an increase in gross written premiums in non-life insurance and reinsurance. This increase stemmed from a greater number of insurance and reinsurance contracts and, in non-life insurance, was partly supported by a higher average premium.

The insurance result was EUR 86.7 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 52.7%, driven by a 11.6% rise in revenue and a more favourable claims experience in the non-life segment for both weather-related and other claims. This also resulted in an improved and very favourable combined ratio of 87.7%, reflecting the absence of significant natural catastrophes affecting the Group's operations this year.

The finance result was EUR 12.9 million, down by 9.5% compared to the same period last year, mainly due to the interest on the subordinated bond issued in 2024.

Net profit increased by 36.1% to EUR 84.5 million.

Equity stood at EUR 707.3 million, up 9.1% from the end of 2024, reflecting profit generated in the first three quarters of 2025 and a positive change in other comprehensive income, partly offset by the dividend payment for 2024.

The annualised return on equity was 15.7%, up 2.8 percentage points compared to the first nine months of last year as a result of the higher net profit.

The contractual service margin amounted to EUR 194.4 million, an increase of 10.7%, driven primarily by the life and reinsurance segments. In life insurance, the contractual service margin increased by 5.3%, benefitting from strong sales of new insurance policies. These policies generated a new contractual service margin of EUR 20.3 million in the first nine months of 2025, representing a yearon-year increase of 12.7%. In addition, the contractual service margin increased due to a favourable change in expected cash flows, resulting primarily from additional top-up premiums on existing unitlinked policies and favourable movements in financial markets.

The investment portfolio grew by 5.3% to EUR 1,755.3 million. Fixed-income financial investments remained the largest part of the portfolio (86.6%). The return on the investment portfolio was 2.3%, down by 0.2 percentage points compared to 2024.

Assets under management amounted to EUR 3,219.2 million, up 11.4%. This growth is the result of high net inflows, which increased by 19.6% compared to the same period last year, and fund returns.

As at 30 September 2025, the assessment of the solvency position shows that the Group is well capitalised, with an estimated solvency ratio of 212% to 218% (31 December 2024: 208%).

Non-life gross written premiums increased by 7.0%. All the markets recorded growth, with the EU markets advancing by 5.4% and the non-EU markets by 15.1%. In the EU markets, the largest contributor to premium growth was the motor insurance segment, both private and commercial business. The increase is primarily driven by stronger sales of insurance policies, supported by a higher average premium. Premium growth was also robust in the private and commercial property business segment as a result of an increase in the average premium and a rise in the number of new policyholders. In the non-EU markets, motor insurance likewise made the largest contribution to premium growth. Growth was supported by higher average premiums and an expanded portfolio of insurance policies. The increase in property premiums was due to increased sales of policies through new channels.

The insurance result was EUR 60.6 million, marking an improvement of 118.2% compared to the first nine months of last year. In the EU markets, the improvement of EUR 27.0 million was driven by higher insurance revenue due to last year's price increases and the increase in the number of insurance policies, and even more so by this year's more favourable weather conditions and the resulting better claims experience. With appropriate reinsurance protection, we successfully managed the risks of major losses, and the attritional claims experience also improved compared with the previous year. In the non-EU markets, the insurance result increased to EUR 5.8 million, supported by revenue growth in all the non-life insurance companies outside the EU and more favourable claims experience in most of these markets.

The combined ratio was 87.8%, an improvement of 5.9 percentage points. In all the markets, the improvement was driven by a more favourable loss ratio, as a result of growth in insurance revenue and more favourable claims experience. The expense ratio increased modestly due to higher policy acquisition expenses in the non-EU markets.

The finance result was EUR 9.7 million, up 5.0% due to higher interest income.

Profit before tax stood at EUR 72.2 million, up EUR 33.9 million.

Gross written premiums of the EU-based life insurers increased by 3.8% to EUR 149.0 million, driven by higher sales of new life risk policies, unit-linked policies and top-up premiums on existing unit-linked policies. The non-EU-based life insurers achieved an 11.4% increase in gross written premiums, reaching EUR 10.8 million. This growth reflects strong sales of risk products and solid expansion in unitlinked product sales.

The insurance result increased by 8.7% to EUR 14.1 million, driven by revenue growth and methodological adjustments applied in the non-EU markets. As a result of methodological adjustments, a one-off effect of EUR 0.4 million was recognised under other net expenses.

The finance result improved by 6.5% to EUR 4.5 million, primarily due to a stronger insurance finance result. This reflects the maturing of the portfolio of traditional life savings products in the EU markets, which led to a reduction in the associated liabilities and, consequently, lower insurance finance expenses.

Profit before tax stood at EUR 17.8 million, up 6.9%.

The contractual service margin grew by 5.3% to EUR 169.5 million. Growth was driven by new business generation and a favourable change in expected cash flows, primarily reflecting additional top-up premiums on existing unit-linked policies and positive movements in financial markets. Both factors contributed to an increase in the value of unit-linked assets, thereby enhancing future income from the management of these assets. In the first nine months of 2025, new life insurance sales generated a contractual service margin of EUR 20.3 million, representing a year-on-year increase of 12.7%.

Loss ratio 74.7% 65.5% +9.2 pp
Expense ratio 12.8% 14.2% -1.4 pp

Gross premiums written rose by 15.3% to EUR 130.0 million. This growth is the result of pursuing new opportunities in foreign markets and increased participation in existing contracts.

The insurance result was EUR 11.6 million, down by 26.7% due to higher incurred claims.

The combined ratio increased by 7.8 percentage points year on year, reflecting larger losses. However, at 87.6%, it remains favourable compared to the long-term average. The expense ratio was 12.8%.

The finance result increased by 79.0% to EUR 1.1 million, mainly due to net foreign exchange gains.

Profit before tax stood at EUR 12.3 million, down by 23.8% year on year.

Assets under management 2,365,089,643 2,125,101,183 239,988,460 111.3

6 The calculation methodology was changed to align it with that of other insurance groups. Commission income is included at the net amount after deduction of commission expenses, which reduces the CIR.

Business volume grew by 15.1% to over EUR 23 million, fuelled mainly by strong growth in asset management revenue, as well as higher gross annuity premiums. Asset management revenue increased in line with the larger volume of assets under management, while annuity premiums increased owing to a higher number of policies written.

The cost-to-income ratio improved by 1.4 percentage points, primarily due to strong revenue growth, which outpaced the increase in operating expenses.

As a result, profit before tax rose by 17.5% year on year, exceeding EUR 8.0 million.

Assets under management totalled EUR 2.4 billion, up 11.3%. This growth was largely driven by high new net inflows amounting to EUR 155.0 million, a 19.6% increase compared with the same period last year.

Profit or loss before tax -3,045,042 -275,241 -2,769,801

Despite higher profits from assistance services, profit before tax was EUR 2.8 million lower, reflecting increased subordinated debt expenses following the issuance of a subordinated bond in October 2024.

The following is a discussion of assets and liabilities relevant to understanding the Group's financial position.

* Insurance contract liabilities, net of insurance contract assets.

4.1 Capital and solvency

Equity totalled EUR 707.3 million, up 9.1% compared to the end of 2024. It increased due to this year's profit and positive changes in other comprehensive income but was partially offset by dividend payments.

The Group's estimated solvency position as at 30 September 2025 shows that the Group is well capitalised, with an estimated solvency ratio of 212% to 218% (31 December 2024: 208%). The Group's solvency ratio is thus significantly above the regulatory requirement of 100% and, according to internal criteria, is just above the optimal solvency ratio range of 170% to 210%.

4.2 Net insurance contract liabilities

Net insurance contract liabilities amounted to EUR 1,915.4 million, an increase of 5.2% year on year, driven by portfolio growth.

As at 30 September 2025, the contractual service margin was EUR 194.4 million, while the net contractual service margin amounted to EUR 182.2 million. In the first nine months of 2025, the contractual service margin increased by 10.7%, with the strongest growth recorded in the life and reinsurance segments. The contractual service margin in the life segment increased by 5.3%. Growth was driven by new business generation and a favourable change in expected cash flows, primarily reflecting additional top-up premiums on existing unit-linked policies and positive movements in financial markets. Both factors contributed to an increase in the value of unit-linked assets, thereby enhancing future income from the management of these assets. In the first nine months of 2025, new life insurance sales generated a contractual service margin of EUR 20.3 million, representing a yearon-year increase of 12.7%. In the reinsurance segment, growth is driven partly by the nature of the business, where most new contractual service margin is generated at the beginning of the year, and partly by the commencement of some larger treaties in 2025.

4.3 Investment portfolio

The investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group increased by 5.3% to EUR 1,755.3 million compared to the end of 2024. This increase was mainly driven by positive cash flow from operating activities. As at 30 September 2025, fixed-income investments represented the largest portion of the investment portfolio, at 86.6%. Compared to the end of the previous year, these investments increased by EUR 66.8 million. The asset allocation did not change significantly from the end of 2024.

Net investment income on the investment portfolio amounted to EUR 29.3 million in the first three quarters, an increase of EUR 0.7 million compared with the same period last year. Interest income was higher, reflecting investments made at higher interest rates, while the return on investments measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) was lower year on year. This was partly offset by an increase in provisions for expected credit losses (ECL), reflecting the acquisition of new investments and rating changes to certain existing ones. The return on the investment portfolio stood at 2.3%, 0.2 percentage points lower than in the same period last year.

The annualised return on equity was 15.7% (1–9/2024: 12.9%) and increased due to higher profits.

Dividends

On 11 June 2025, the Company paid a gross dividend of EUR 2.25 per share to its shareholders. This represents a gross dividend yield of 4.5%.

6 Risk management

Unfavourable and uncertain macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions contributed to a slightly higher level of financial and strategic risks in the first three quarters of 2025. Although the situation has not changed significantly since the end of the previous year, we expect uncertainty to remain elevated throughout the year and are therefore closely monitoring risks within the Group, responding as necessary. For more information on the macroeconomic environment, please refer to section 2

7 A more detailed breakdown of the investment portfolio is provided in appendix C, section 4.

"Macroeconomic environment". In the first three quarters of 2025, there were no major negative impacts on the Group from geopolitical and macroeconomic conditions.

Underwriting risks are among the most significant risks and are therefore carefully managed by the Group. The claims experience was favourable in the reporting period, while insurance risks remained unchanged compared to the previous year. Given the inherently fortuitous nature of underwriting risk, an increase in the number of loss events that could adversely affect business results in the final quarter cannot be ruled out.

In the period, the Group's exposure to operational risks was at a comparable level to the previous year, and the Group sought to mitigate these risks appropriately. The Group also successfully managed and controlled liquidity risk.

7 Progress on the business plan

In the first three quarters of 2025, the Sava Insurance Group successfully implemented its 2025 business plan, achieving approximately 83% of the planned business volume for the full year 2025. Net profit amounted to EUR 84.5 million, already exceeding the lower bound of the planned full-year profit for 2025. Favourable weather conditions in the first half of the year persisted into the third quarter, which, based on long-term statistics, is typically the period most exposed to major loss events. As a result, the Group did not experience losses at the level anticipated in the business plan, which had been based on the claims experience of previous years. If such conditions persist in the final quarter, management expects the net profit for 2025 to exceed EUR 105 million.

Actuals versus targets in 2025

Business volume growth 8.0% > 5%
Return on equity 15.7% > 11%
Profit, net of tax 84.5 > 84 100.6%

The following reclassifications have been made:

  • Exchange differences on financial investments and insurance contract liabilities have been reclassified from the net investment result, net insurance finance income or expenses and the result of the other items to net foreign exchange gains/losses.
  • Investment income on life insurance policies where policyholders bear the investment risk has been reclassified from the net investment result to the insurance finance result.
  • Asset management revenue and income from Group companies included in net other operating income and expenses are reported together as noninsurance revenue.
  • Non-attributable operating expenses of the Group's insurance companies are recognised in insurance service expenses, including non-attributable expenses. This brings the Group's recognition of non-attributable expenses in line with other major insurance companies as from 2025. In substance, this change follows the approach used in the calculation of the combined ratio, which also includes non-attributable operating expenses since the adoption of IFRS 17.
  • The operating expenses of non-insurance companies that are part of net other operating income and expenses, and non-attributable expenses are reported together as non-insurance expenses.
  • The share of profit or loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, and net income and expenses from subsidiaries and associates have been combined and presented under the investment result line item. As from 2025, the Group has thus aligned this presentation with the content of net investment income on the investment portfolio.
  • Expenses from financial liabilities included in finance costs are included in the finance result.
  • Gains or losses on disposal of discontinued operations are included in other net income/expenses.
