Results by operating segment – reinsurance

96.2 89.3 Gross premiums written -7%

Decline due to planned restriction of growth and declining of less profitable business

v

120.0

Negative impact from stronger US dollar compared to euro

  • Lower claims incurred
  • One-off effects from proceeds relating to disputes settled in court (+€1.5 m)
  • Acquisition costs increased despite premium decline as a result of focusing on more profitable business with higher commissions. This is reflected in the higher expense ratio and lower incurred loss and combined ratios.

  • Impairment losses (€1.9 m)
  • Increased income from investment property as the result of starting a large investment property lease
  • Lower interest expenses (-€0.7 m) relating to the subordinated debt held by the Company in 2017 (until full repayment in June 2017)

Results by operating segment – non-life Slovenia

Larger volume of motor business; increased number of policies and higher average premium with individuals; broader coverages and new clients in commercial business

v

  • Increased premiums earned
  • Improved result for property business; higher income from bad debt already written off (other technical income)

Lower interest income due to lower interest rates in capital markets

Results by operating segment – life Slovenia

  • v • Higher payments relating to maturing life policies, with premiums from new business insufficient to fully compensate for lost premiums (lost premiums: maturing traditional life policies: €36.1 m, unitlinked life €25.2 m)
  • 1% increase in new production year on year

  • Higher expense ratio as a result of premium growth
  • Other operating costs increased by 2%, while acquisition costs grew by 9%, reflecting growth in new production; however, commission payouts do not move in parallel with sales of new policies, which is why this is not directly comparable.
