Review of Covid-19 related business interruption exposure in international markets

Assessment of exposure to increased Covid-19–related risks

After the reporting date, Sava Re was informed of new circumstances that had arisen in certain EU insurance markets and in the United Kingdom related to potential additional adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the operations of Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Re, which primarily pertain to Covid-19–related claims on policies written in the Republic of Ireland (under freedom of services rules) and reinsurance contracts written in the United Kingdom for business interruption coverage as part of property policies.

v Based on current detailed analyses of its insurance exposure, the Group has concluded that Covid-related business interruption claims are not covered under its policies written directly under freedom of services rules in the European Union. Regarding its exposure under reinsurance contracts, there may be coverage in some cases.

In the last quarter of 2020, the Group will set provisions up to €10 million for potential expenses and claims in this regard.

Inclusion of Vita into the Group on 31 May 2020

Dividend policy

  • In August Slovenian Insurance Supervision Agency called upon insurance, reinsurance and pension companies to temporarily suspend dividend payments at least until the 2020 accounts are audited with the option for dividend payment under certain conditions.
  • In line with the Insurance Supervision Agency's guidance, the Company again reviewed its technical bases for paying out dividends for the financial year 2019 and, based on its findings, called a general meeting to decide on the proposed appropriation of profits. After the general meeting had been called, Sava Re was informed of and faced with new circumstances that had arisen in certain EU insurance markets and in the United Kingdom related to potential additional adverse effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the operations of Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Re with regard to the coverage of business interruption claims, which under new court and regulatory practices may potentially have an adverse effect on the Group's business result and solvency position. Therefore, the general meeting was cancelled.
  • Sava Re will take a position on dividend payments when publishing audited financial statements for 2020

The largest contribution to increased exposure to Slovenia was the inclusion of the investment portfolio of Vita in the Group.

Group exposure by industry

Lower exposure to government securities resulting from maturity of government securities.

Lower exposure to banking sector resulting from change in portfolio structure due to the acquisition of Vita (short-term invested deposits decreased).

* Includes direct investments in real-estate and property funds. Also included are corporate bonds with GICS classification real-estate industry.

v

Maintaining a good rating profile despite Covid-19 developments

Investment grade assets represent 80.4% of fixed income investments, which is 2.1 p.p. higher than at the end of 2019.

The share of AAA-rated categories declined reflecting maturities of government bonds and the downgrading of ratings due to the situation with Covid-19. As a result, the share of AA, A and BBB rated categories increased.

Decreased share of Not rated category as a result of a decrease in short-term deposits earmarked for strategic investments.
