Notes:

-For details on the calculation of ratios and the net investment income, see the glossary appended to this report.

-The net investment income of the investment portfolio does not include the net investment income from assets pertaining to policyholders who bear the investment risk since such assets do not affect the income statement. The mathematical provision of policyholders who bear the investment risk moves in line with this line item.

-In the period 1–6/2015, there was a considerable negative effect of exchange differences on the underwriting result of reinsurance business and a positive effect on the net investment result. The net effect on net profit for the period, however, was relatively minor since the Company is following a strict asset-liability currency management policy. This effect was much smaller in the period 1–6/2016, but indicators have been adjusted to exclude exchange differences to provide better comparability.

The table below gives realised figures together with full-year 2016 planned figures:

(€ million) 1–6/2016 Plan 2016 As % of plan
Consolidated gross premiums written 280.8 487.9 57.6 %
Net profit/loss for the period 14.3 33.4 42.9 %

*The net combined and the net incurred loss ratios have been calculated for the reinsurance and non-life operating segments.

Since exchange differences had not been considered in the plan, the table shows ratios, excluding the effect of exchange differences.

The annualised return on equity was slightly lower than planned for the full year 2016, mainly due to a poorer-than-planned net incurred loss ratio for non-life business, while other indicators are better than planned. Despite certain deviations, the Company is not revising its projections for the full year 2016.

In the period 1–6/2016, exchange differences had a positive impact on the underwriting result of reinsurance business of € 0.4 million (1–6/2015: € -4.2 million) and a negative impact of € 0.2 million on the investment result (1–6/2015: € +3.9 million). The net impact of exchange differences on the net profit for the period was € 0.2 million (1–6/2015: € -0.3 million). The Company follows a policy of asset and liability currency matching. As both effects on profit mainly relate to international reinsurance operations, detailed figures are presented in the section covering reinsurance business later in this report.

In the first half of 2016, the Group's net investment income from its investment portfolio totalled € 11.6 million, down € 4.1 million year-on-year. The net investment income was lower mainly because of lower exchange differences.

Since exchange differences have no significant impact on the income statement because exchange differences on the assets side are set off by exchange differences on the liabilities side, it is more meaningful as regards impact on profit to look at the net investment income, excluding exchange differences. The effect of exchange differences on the income statement in the first half of 2016 totalled € 0.2 million.

Excluding the impact of exchange differences, the net investment income of the investment portfolio in the period is € 11.9 million, the same as in the same period last year.

Income and expenses relating to the investment portfolio by type

In 1–6/2016 investment income declined by € 3.8 million year-on-year, but dropped by only € 0.2 million if exchange differences are eliminated. The largest part of income is interest income, which amounted to € 10.6 million in the period 1–6/2016, down € 0.6 million yearon-year.

In the period 1–6/2016 expenses relating to the investment portfolio increased by € 0.3 million, but decreased by € 0.1 million on elimination of exchange differences. In addition to exchange losses, the largest contributors to expenses are expenses arising from changes in market prices and interest on loans.

Consolidated gross profit/loss

Composition of consolidated gross profit

*Other includes gross profit of the "other" segment.

In 1–6/2016, exchange differences had an impact on the composition of the result, so below we set out results, excluding the effect of exchange differences. In 1–6/2015 this effect was larger. The impact of exchange differences on the result by operating segment was as follows: positive effect on the underwriting result of € 0.4 million (1–6/2015: € 4.2 million negative effect); negative effect on the investment result of € 0.2 million (1–6/2015: € 3.9 million positive effect). The total positive effect of exchange differences on the result of 1– 6/2016 amounted to € 0.2 million (1–6/2015: € 0.3 million negative effect).

Composition of the gross consolidated result (excluding the effect of exchange differences)

*Other includes gross profit of the "other" segment.

The underwriting result in the period 1–6/2016 was lower than last year as a result of a somewhat weaker underwriting result in the non-life insurance segment. The underwriting result of the reinsurance segment improved this year. The result of the life segment deteriorated slightly, mainly due to a weaker result of Zavarovalnica Maribor (LAT test for traditional life and smaller investment portfolio for unit-linked life). In 1–6/2016 the investments result for the reinsurance segment was slightly better due to lower interest

expenses and lower losses on the disposal of investments; in the life insurance segment the investment result was somewhat less favourable due to lower interest income and lower fair value revaluation changes. Also expenses were lower, especially interest expenses.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement by operating segment

Following is an overview of results by operating segment.

3 PERFORMANCE OF THE GROUP BY OPERATING SEGMENT

Business is presented by operating segments (non-life insurance, life insurance, reinsurance business and the "other" segment) and by geography (Slovenia and international). "Slovenia" includes Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia, while "international" includes the other subsidiaries. The reinsurance segment was not broken down geographically, as – after the elimination of transactions with Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia – the majority of the remaining transactions relates to Sava Reinsurance Company's business in international reinsurance markets.

In addition to said segment breakdown, the segment reporting information also reflects the effects of consolidation elimination and reallocation of certain income statement items:

In the consolidation process, reinsurance effects were reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments (Sava Reinsurance Company as the controlling company handles the reinsurance of most risks of the subsidiaries within the Sava Re Group): in the segment reporting information, reinsurance premiums received by the reinsurer from the subsidiaries were reallocated to the segment from where they arose (the same applies by analogy to reinsurance-related claims, commission income, change in unearned premiums, claims provisions and deferred acquisition costs). In the elimination process, the portion of business retroceded by Sava Reinsurance Company to foreign reinsurers was not allocated to the non-life and life segments. Retrocessionrelated expenses usually exceed income (except in the case of catastrophe claims). To provide a more adequate presentation of segment profitability, the result of the retroceded business was also allocated to the segment to which it related (non-life or life). All said items were adjusted only in the part relating to the risks of subsidiaries retroceded by Sava Reinsurance Company to foreign reinsurers.

Other operating expenses of the reinsurance segment were reduced by the portion of expenses attributable to the administration of the Sava Re Group. Sava Reinsurance Company operates as a virtual holding company so a part of its expenses relates to the administration of the Group. Such expenses of the reinsurance segment were allocated to other segments based on gross premiums written. Other operating expenses include costs relating to the management of the Group. In the period 1–6/2016, Sava Reinsurance Company allocated 46.6 % of other operating expenses to operating segments as monitored (non-life and life insurance business) by premium structure (1– 6/2015: 47.9 %).

Reallocation of group management expenses to business segments

In the statement of financial position, the following adjustments were made in addition to the eliminations made in the consolidation process:

  • Intangible assets goodwill was allocated to the segment from which it arose (it was reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments depending on which subsidiary it related to).
  • Reinsurers' share of technical provisions (reinsurers' share of unearned premiums, claims provisions and other provisions) and deferred acquisition costs – in the same way as described in point one of adjustments to income statement items.
  • Equity was reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments based on the carrying amount of investments in subsidiaries (the sum total of carrying amounts of non-life insurers was reallocated to the non-life segment, and that of life insurers was reallocated to the life segment).

Following is a brief commentary on the results of each operating segment.

3.1 Reinsurance business

Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 8.7. The reinsurance segment reflects developments of the reinsurance portfolio written by Sava Reinsurance Company outside the Sava Re Group.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business

In 1–6/2015 this segment was significantly affected by exchange differences, therefore parts of the result (underwriting and investments) are not directly comparable. The impact of exchange difference is set out in section 3 under the heading "Consolidated net profit" and refers to the reinsurance segment shown here.

The following graph shows profits, excluding the impact of exchange differences.

The underwriting result, excluding exchange differences, was slightly lower than in the same period of 2015 (combined ratio 1–6/2016: 96.3 %; 1–6/2015: 95.0 %). Despite the absence of major losses, the result deteriorated somewhat because of the soft market for reinsurance business. The investment result (excluding the effect of exchange differences) for the period 1–6/2016 was slightly higher than year-on-year primarily due to lower interest expenses and lower losses on the disposal of investments.

Net earned premiums 44,428,740 37,634,303 118.1

Gross premiums written of this segment were slightly lower in the first half than year-onyear. This drop is due to lower premiums written abroad (mainly from South Korea, Sweden, Bulgaria), which is partly due to the soft market prevailing in international reinsurance markets and lower growth planned in response thereto, but partly also due to the expiry of certain one-year contracts from South Korea written in 2015.

Despite the drop in gross premiums written, net premiums earned for the period 1–6/2016 were larger than year-on-year. The change in net unearned premiums for the period 1– 6/2016 (an increase compared to the end of the prior year) was lower than year-on-year because of slower growth in new business.

In Slovenia, the Company transacts mostly intra-Group business; therefore, the amounts of all categories of the reinsurance segment (extra-Group business) are relatively small.

Net claims incurred 29,466,639 24,503,874 120.3

In 1–6/2016 consolidated gross reinsurance claims stayed on the same level as year-on-year, which is relatively favourable given the high growth of the portfolio in 2015, while it is also true that a large part of the claims incurred in 2015, when growth in claims was significant, are still reserved.

The change in the net provision for outstanding claims (including the impact of exchange differences) was larger in the period 1–6/2016 than year-on year. Claims provisions mainly increased because the established claims provisions for 2016 are relatively higher than premiums written because of the prevailing soft market (incurred loss ratios are expected to be higher).

In 1–6/2016 acquisition costs increased by 1.0 %. The proportion of acquisition costs as a percentage of premiums increased by 0.5 percentage points year-on-year (up from 21.1 %).

In 1–6/2016 the change in deferred acquisition costs was smaller year-on-year, mainly reflecting the smaller volume of premiums and, consequently, smaller increase in acquisition costs at the half-year 2016 compared to half-year 2015 and that compared to the half-year 2014. The mechanisms are much the same as with the effect of the movement in gross premiums written on the movement of unearned premiums.

Other operating expenses increased by 10.5 % mainly due to growth in personnel costs (recruitment at Sava Reinsurance Company and the impact of interim recruitment in the prior year).

Net investment income

Income, expenses and net inv. income of the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences; reinsurance business

Given that the exchange differences mainly relate to Sava Reinsurance Company and their impact does not fully affect profit or loss, the graph above shows the net investment income of the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences.

Compared to the same period last year, the reinsurance segment's net investment income of the investment portfolio increased by € 0.3 million. This higher net investment income yearon-year was mainly a result of lower interest expenses and lower losses on the disposal of investments.

3.2 Non-life insurance business

The non-life insurance segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

  • Zavarovalnica Maribor, non-life
  • Zavarovalnica Tilia, non-life
  • Sava Montenegro
  • Sava osiguranje Belgrade
  • Sava osiguruvanje Skopje
  • Velebit osiguranje
  • Illyria

Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 8.7 "Analysis of operating segments".

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; non-life insurance business

The non-life insurance segment recorded a lower consolidated net result in 1–6/2016 than in the same period last year.

In this regard, the non-life segment of Slovenian insurance companies deteriorated by 18.9 %, while Sava's foreign non-life operations weakened by 32.1 %. The deterioration is mainly due to the poorer underwriting result of Zavarovalnica Maribor following the decline in net premiums written by 2.1 % because of higher reinsurance premiums for certain classes and higher unearned premiums for the reinsurance part due to the dynamics of contracts. This ratio was mostly affected by the increase in credit insurance business. Another reason is the reduction in commission income as in the second quarter reinsurance commission had already been accounted as part of the reconciliation for previous years, which in the prior year had been accounted in the third quarter. Net claims incurred dropped by 1.5 % year-on-year. There was also an increase in provisions for bonuses and rebates because of the larger volume of credit insurance business through the bancassurance channel. Another decline was in the result of motor business due to the timing of premiums in the Slovenian insurance market. The increase in gross operating expenses was due to a declining change in deferred acquisition costs.

The deterioration in the underwriting result of foreign non-life insurers is mainly the poorer technical result of Sava Montenegro, due to higher net claims incurred as a result of an increase in the gross claims provision. Despite the deterioration, the company still posted a good result.

The investment result of Slovenian non-life insurers deteriorated by € 0.3 million as a result of both lower interest income (lower interest rates in kapital markets) and lower gains on the revaluation of investments at fair value through profit or loss. The investment result of non-Slovenia-based insurers, by contrast, remained on the prior-year level.

In the period 1–6/2016 gross premiums written from Slovenia increased by 2.4 % mainly due to higher non-life insurance premiums of Zavarovalnica Maribor: as a result of an increased volume of credit and property business. Zavarovalnica Tilia also recorded year-on-year growth in non-life premiums of 1.9 % in 1–6/2016. In the period the Slovenian insurance market recorded a 2.0 % growth in non-life business, while the combined life premiums of Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia grew by 2.4 %. Of the non-Slovenian insurers, all non-life insurers posted year-on-year premium growth, except the Kosovan non-life company. Generally, this growth is a result of increased cooperation with external sales channels and increased productivity of the own sales network. The Kosovan insurer recorded a 14.3 % fall in premiums due to the entry of two new insurers into the Kosovan market in 2015 and the halving of border premiums. The total increase in non-Slovenian consolidated gross premiums written was 4.0 %.

In the period 1–6/2016 gross claims paid relating to Slovenian business declined mainly due to Zavarovalnica Maribor, as the gross claims of 1–6/2015 included ice damage payments of € 2.2 million (2014 loss event) and flood payments (loss event of 2014 and partly 2012) in the amount of € 0.5 million. However, there was a minor increase in gross claims paid of Tilia, especially relating to motor business.

Gross claims paid relating to business from abroad rose by 6.8 % mainly due to increased claims of the Croatian non-life insurer (loss from previous years) and of the Kosovan non-life insurer (two large claims and more smaller claims). While the Croatian non-life insurer improved its gross loss ratio compared to the same period last year as a result of premium

growth that exceeded the increase in claims, for the Kosovan non-life insurer the ratio deteriorated as premiums fell compared to the period 1–6/2015.

The total consolidated operating expenses of non-life insurance business increased by 6.3 % mainly as a result of a decline in the change in deferred acquisition costs. Consolidated acquisition costs rose by 3.9 %, due to the growth in consolidated non-life premiums and the related increase in commissions for agents. Other operating expenses increased primarily as a result of growth in personnel costs due to the establishment of a new sales system, the expansion of the own sales network and costs associated with the merger.

The consolidated gross expense ratio for Slovenian companies dropped by 0.5 percentage points as a result of the increase in gross non-life premiums.

Foreign non-life insurers increased the consolidated gross expense ratio by 1.6 percentage points due to the increase in operating costs, especially acquisition costs.

Also expenses were lower, especially interest expenses (by € 0.2 million).

Slovenian gross life insurance premiums for the first half of 2016 show a decline from the previous year since both life insurers recorded a decline in gross life premiums written. The life insurance portfolio is shrinking because new business was not sufficient to offset expired business (through maturities or terminations). In the period the Slovenian insurance market recorded a 5.5 % fall in life business, while the combined life premiums of Zavarovalnica Maribor and Zavarovalnica Tilia dropped by 2.3 %.

All non-Slovenian life insurers achieved growth in gross premiums written; the largest growth was generated by the Croatian company Velebit životno osiguranje, which recorded a 15.6 % growth in premiums against the background of a 3.2 % drop in the Croatian life insurance market in the first half of 2016. The premium growth achieved by the Croatian insurer is a result of expansion and optimisation of the sales network as well as successful cooperation with a bank.

All three non-Slovenian life insurers have been implementing activities to improve their own sales network through regular education and training of sales personnel, which has already translated in a larger and improved portfolio.

*These provisions mainly comprise mathematical provisions.

The decline in gross life insurance claims paid in Slovenia is due to the decline in claims of Zavarovalnica Maribor because of lower claim payments relating to maturities than last year as well as fewer surrenders. In contrast, in the first half of this year Zavarovalnica Tilia paid

more claims based on maturities and death benefits than in the previous year, as well as some surrenders of significant amounts.

The growth in gross claims paid of non-Slovenian insurers is a result of an increase in the claims of the life insurers in Croatia and Kosovo. In the Croatian insurer the number of benefits based on maturities doubled year-on-year and there was also an increase in the number of death benefits paid and surrenders. In the first half of this year, Illyria Life saw an increase in the number of surrenders as a large number of policies became eligible for surrendering.

The change in other technical provisions increased mainly due to an increase in the mathematical provisions of Zavarovalnica Maribor (€ 3.1 million). In 1–6/2016 mathematical provisions grew by € 2.7 million based on portfolio movement. This provision was additionally strengthened by € 0.4 million as a result of a liability adequacy test.

In the same period last year, the mathematical provision increased by € 0.1 million. In the period 1–6/2015 the mathematical provision had increased by € 3.9 million based on portfolio movement; however, it was decreased by € 3.8 million based on a liability adequacy test.

Liability adequacy tests are sensitive to interest rates. This year the interest rate curve had steadily declined, but because of the approaching maturity of a large number of policies, the coverage period was also decreasing; therefore, this year, it was necessary to set aside provisions based on a liability adequacy test.

With Slovenian insurers there has been a significant year-on-year change in technical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk, as a result of falling prices of mutual funds.

The increase in acquisition expenses for life business is primarily a result of growth in insurance business outside Slovenia.

The increase in consolidated other operating expenses is due to the inclusion of Moja naložba in the consolidated statements. If Moja naložba is excluded from other operating expenses for the first half of 2016, these would be lower by 4.8 %.

Compared to the prior year, the consolidated gross expense ratio increased by 1.1 percentage points for Slovenian companies, which is solely the result of reduced gross life expenses as the Slovenian insurance companies both reduced other operating expenses, while the share of Moja naložba in the consolidated gross expenses relative to premiums is negligible.

In the non-Slovenian insurers, the consolidated gross expense ratio fell by 7.9 percentage points, both thanks to premium growth as well as cost management.

Income, expenses and the net inv. income relating to the investment portfolio; life insurance business

The net investment income of the investment portfolio of life insurance business declined by € 0.1 million year-on-year. Income (€ 0.3 million) in the period under review increased as a result of the income on pension business, which had been included in the life segment as from 1 January 2016. In the first quarter of 2016, the Group's expenses for the investment portfolio totalled € 0.6 million, down € 0.3 million year-on-year. Expenses were higher primarily because of the larger realised fair value losses on investments in the FVPL category (€ -0.1 million) and losses on disposal of investments (€ -0.1 million).

Sava Re Group investment portfolio by class of asset1

In the first half of the year, the Group investment portfolio grew by € 32.7 million to € 1.1 billion.

The increase of the investment portfolio was mainly driven by the positive cash flow from (re)insurance business and fair-value gains on investments and the change in accrued interest.

Composition of the Sava Re Group investment portfolio as at 31 Dec 2015 and 30 Jun 2016

*The other item comprises loans granted and deposits with cedants.

1 Effective as of 1 January 2016 the Company changed the recording of demand deposits under cash and cash equivalents (in 2015 shown under the deposits item).

In terms of asset allocation compared to year-end 2015, the share of deposits declined by 2.1 percentage points and the share of government securities by 1.8 percentage points, while the share of investments in corporate bonds increased (+0.5 percentage points), mainly due to investments in covered bonds. The decline in the share of deposits is due to the change in recording of demand deposits now recorded under the increased cash and cash equivalents item.

4.1.2 Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk

Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk is a major asset item. Compared to 31 December 2015, these assets grew by 0.2 %, or € 0.4 million, to € 214.6 million at 30 June 2016. Effective as of 1 January 2016 demand deposits were transferred to cash and cash equivalents, resulting in a decrease of funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk of € 5.6 million compared to 31 December 2015 (01/01/2016: € 208.6 million; 31 December 2015: € 214.2 million). Thus funds increased by € 6.0 million compared to 1 January 2016. Investments increased due to positive cash flow (€ 7.0 million), while the effect of the change in unit prices had a negative impact (€ -1.0 million).

There are three Group companies marketing life products where the investment risk is borne by policyholders: Zavarovalnica Maribor, Zavarovalnica Tilia and Velebit životno osiguranje. At 30 June 2016, funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk relating to Zavarovalnica Maribor totalled € 181.8 million (31/12/2015: € 179.9 million), funds relating to Zavarovalnica Tilia € 32.8 million (31/12/2015: 34.3 million), while such funds relating to Velebit životno osiguranje are negligible. The level of funds depends on new premium contributions, payouts and changes in unit value of funds.

4.1.3 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

Reinsurers' share of technical provisions (retroceded technical provisions) increased by € 7.1 million or 29.8 % compared to 31 December 2015. This is mainly because of the high level of retroceded unearned premiums set aside for non-proportional covers that are fully booked at the beginning of the year and for which the unearned premiums represent a deferment; thus retroceded unearned premiums increased by € 4.7 million compared to the beginning

of the year. The reinsurer's share of the claims provision increased by € 1.8 million, mainly due to a large retroceded fire loss incurred by the insured Impol.

4.1.4 Assets under investment contracts

Assets and liabilities under investment contracts were first included in the consolidated statement of financial position on 31 December 2015.

The assets from investment contracts item includes liability fund assets relating to SVPI2 managed by the Moja naložba pension company for the benefit of policyholders. At 30 June 2016, liability fund assets totalled € 115.3 million, up 3.5 % compared to 31 December 2015. The increase in assets from financial investments was mainly due to the increase in the fair value reserve (€ 2.9 million) and new premiums written (€ 0.8 million).

Financial investments accounted for 99.2 % of total assets, the remaining amount relates to receivables and cash and cash equivalents.

Like the previous category, the movement in assets under investment contracts depends on new premium contributions, payouts and changes in unit value of funds.

4.1.5 Receivables

Receivables increased by 16.3 % or € 21.4 million compared to year-end 2015. This asset type also increased in relative terms.

This increase was a result of both an increase in receivables arising out of primary insurance business as well as an increase in receivables arising out of reinsurance and coinsurance business. Receivables arising out of primary insurance business increased by € 16.3 million compared to 31 December 2015 (prior year: € 14.3 million) as a result of the renewal schedules of annual insurance policies with legal entities. Receivables arising out of coinsurance and reinsurance business primary insurance business increased by € 4.4 million (prior year: € 12.8 million) as a result of the mid-year renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business. In both categories there has been an increase especially in not-past-due receivables (95.7 % increase).

4.2.1 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions are the largest item of liabilities. The figure at 30 June 2016 was an increase of 6.5 % or € 57.4 million compared to year-end 2015. The largest increase was in unearned premiums (€ 40.3 million) as a result of underwriting dynamics during the year.

(€) Sava Re Group
30/06/2016 31/12/2015 Index
Gross unearned premiums 196,330,491 156,039,680 125.8
Gross mathematical provisions 266,161,281 262,052,426 101.6

Gross technical provisions 944,480,351 887,068,500 106.5

The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 9.0 % or € 13.5 million compared to year-end 2015. The increase is due to the seasonal pattern in the

movement of unearned premiums (increase of € 8.7 million). Claims provisions of the segment increased by € 4.8 million mainly as a result of growth in business in 2015, for which provisions have not been released yet (claims are yet to be settled) and a contract written in 2016.

The gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life insurance segment recorded an increase of 8.6 % or € 39.7 million compared to year-end 2015. Of these, € 31.6 million relates to the increase in unearned premiums and € 7.2 million to the provision for claims outstanding.

The gross provision for traditional life policies increased by 1.5 % compared to year-end 2015 (by € 4.3 million), mainly as a result of the increase in the mathematical provision.

4.2.2 Equity

The second largest item on the liabilities side is equity, which increased by 3.1 % or € 8.8 million from year-end 2015.

The most significant positive effects on equity were from the net profit for the period 1– 6/2016 in the amount of € 14.4 million and the increase in the fair value reserve of € 9.0 million; the most significant negative effect was the consideration for own share repurchases of € 14.6 million (the reserve for treasury shares was largely established from net profit for the period, and is consequently a negative item in the statement of financial position).

4.2.3 Technical provision for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk

The technical provision for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk at 30 June 2016 grew by 2.4 % or € 5.1 million compared to year-end 2015. This provision moves in line with funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk (depending on contributions and value of units).

4.2.4 Liabilities under investment contracts

Liabilities under investment contracts of Moja naložba totalled € 115.2 million at 30 June 2016, up 3.5 % or € 3.9 million from year-end 2015. They move in line with assets under investment contracts.

4.3 Capital structure

At 30 June 2016 the Sava Re Group had € 295.2 million of equity capital and € 23.5 million of subordinated liabilities. At 30 June 2016, debt capital accounted for 8.0 % of equity. Subordinated liabilities relate to the subordinated debt of Sava Reinsurance Company taken out to expand to the Western Balkans.

4.4 Cash flow

Net cash from operating activities of the Sava Re Group in the period 1–6/2016 totalled € 27.0 million (1–6/2015: € 30.1 million), reflecting positive cash flow from core business.

Net disbursements used in financing activities of the Sava Re Group in the period 1–6/2016 totalled € 15.0 million (1–6/2015: € 1.8 million). In the period 1–6/2016 net disbursements used in financing activities related primarily to purchases of own shares.

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the period 1–6/2016 was larger by € 35.9 million as a result of a change in the disclosure of demand deposits and deposits with an original maturity of up to three months. The related impact is set out in section 8.8.5.

Staffing figures for Group members

The table above shows the number of employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. The number of employees in the Group is subject to fluctuations mainly due to fluctuation in the agency network.

6 RISK MANAGEMENT

The most important risks that Group members are exposed to are underwriting risks, market risks, insolvency risk, credit risk, strategic risk and operational risks.

6.1 Underwriting risks

All Group subsidiaries assume risks from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risks to Sava Reinsurance Company. Sava Reinsurance Company also assumes risks from other cedants; any excess is retroceded to other reinsurers.

In terms of underwriting process risk, losses may be incurred because Sava Re Group members incorrectly select or approve risks to be assumed for (re)insurance. This risk is mitigated by the Group mainly by complying with established and prescribed underwriting procedures; correctly determining the probable maximum loss (PML) for each risk; complying with underwriting guidelines and instructions; complying with the authorisation system; having in place an appropriate pricing and reinsurance policy; and through actuarial reviews. Underwriting risks in excess of the Group's capacity are also reduced through retrocession contracts.

The pricing risk is monitored by Sava Re Group members by conducting actuarial analyses of loss ratios and identifying their trends and by making appropriate corrections. When premium rates are determined for new products, the pricing risk can be monitored by prudently modelling loss experience, by comparing against others' experience, and by comparing the actual loss experience against estimates.

Claims risk is managed by appropriate (re)insurance conditions and pricing, adequate underwriting, controlling risk concentration, and especially adequate reinsurance programmes for subsidiaries and an adequate retrocession programme for Sava Reinsurance Company.

Sava Re Group members mitigate net retention risk by setting appropriate maximum net retention limits and by designing adequate reinsurance or retrocession programmes. In managing these risks, due consideration is given to the fact that maximum net aggregate losses in any one year are affected both by the maximum net claim arising from a single catastrophe event as well as by the frequency of such events.

Sava Re Group members manage reserving risk by comparing historic reserving figures with actual amounts, by applying the latest actuarial methods and by adopting a prudent approach in setting the levels of technical provisions.

Retrocession programme: the Group concludes reciprocal contracts with other reinsurers to further disperse underwriting risks.

In order to manage underwriting risk of life insurance business, the Group regularly monitors mortality and morbidity rates, termination of life policies, looking for specific trends. In addition, it regularly conducts adequacy testing of provisions. The Group manages underwriting risk in its life insurance business by employing underwriting procedures. Underwriting guidelines specify criteria and terms of risk acceptance.

6.2 Risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk

With policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risks are substantially transferred to policyholders, as mathematical provisions move in line with assets. Within the set of products where policyholders bear the investment risk, the Sava Re Group also offers products that, to a certain extent, provide a guaranteed return. At 30 June 2016 assets under such contracts totalled € 30.7 million (31 December 2015: € 27.3 million). With respect to such assets, there is a risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return.

Zavarovalnica Maribor offers a guaranteed return for the investment fund ZM Zajamčeni and the ZM Hibrid product of the ZM Garant investment fund.

The guaranteed return for assets in the ZM Zajamčeni fund is 2.75 %. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities for profit attribution based on the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liabilities for exceeding the return). Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, guaranteed return and amounts for exceeding the guaranteed return (provisions for profit attribution). In years when the guaranteed return is exceeded, liabilities for exceeding the guaranteed return are increased; if, however, realised return is below the guaranteed level, these liabilities are decreased. If these liabilities are negative, they need to be covered by the insurer from own funds (the balance of additional liabilities is set to zero in the accounting books), but in years when the guaranteed return is again reached, the insurer first has to cover the negative balance through profit attribution. The described control of guaranteed return is carried out at the level of individual policies.

The assets underlying policies of the ZM Hibrid product are invested in two investment funds, DWS Garant 80 and ZM Garant. Each month on the cut-off date, the portion of assets in each fund are recalculated using a specific algorithm to ensure the achievement of the investment objective (selected by the policyholder) at the policy expiry. Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid, current level of selected investment objective and balance of liabilities in both investment funds.

For the DWS Garant 80 investment fund, the guarantee that the unit value cannot fall by more than 20 % in one month is provided by DWS Investment GmbH. The guaranteed return for assets in the ZM Garant fund is 2.25 %. Mathematical provisions comprise liabilities for guaranteed funds (net premiums paid and guaranteed return). There are no additional liabilities for profit attribution for this fund. Fund managers maintain data for each policyholder on the individual policy level, comprising net premiums paid and guaranteed return. If the guaranteed return is not achieved, the insurer is to cover the loss from own funds.

6.3 Risks associated with investment contracts

The Group classifies as investment contracts its supplementary voluntary pension insurance (SVPI) business of the pension insurer Moja naložba during the accumulation phase, as part of the company's SVPI liability fund. Liabilities under investment contracts are not included in the consolidated technical provisions item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of underwriting risk. Assets under investment contracts are not included in the consolidated financial investments item, and are, therefore, not included in the presentation of financial risks. In addition, there is a risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return associated with assets and liabilities under investment contracts.

SVPI policyholders (members) bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed return of the liability fund with guaranteed return. The two pension plans of Moja naložba provide a guaranteed return of 60 % of the average annual interest rate on government securities with a maturity of over one year. Liabilities under investment contracts include liabilities for guaranteed funds (net contributions plus guaranteed return) and additional liabilities to cover any deficit resulting from the difference between the actual and the required rate of return (liability to exceed the return). For each member, the manager keeps a personal account with accumulating net contributions, guaranteed returns and assets to exceed the guaranteed return (provisions). In years when the return in excess of guaranteed return is realised, liabilities for return in excess of guaranteed return are increased; if, however, realised return is below the guaranteed level, this part of liabilities decreases until the provision is fully exhausted. The described control of guaranteed return is carried out at the level of individual personal accounts. In the event that individual provisions of any account are not sufficient to cover the guaranteed return, the difference is covered from the pension company's own funds (there were no transfers in 2016).

The risk of failing to realise guaranteed returns for both contracts where the investment risk is born by the policyholder as well as for assets under investment contracts, is managed primarily through appropriate management of policyholder assets and liabilities, an appropriate investment strategy and provisioning.

6.4 Financial risks

In the course of their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks, such as market risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk grew by € 32.7 million compared to 31 December 2015. Details are provided in section 4.1.1 "Investment portfolio".

6.4.1.1 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is measured through a sensitivity analysis, by observing the change in the value of investments in bonds or the value of mathematical provisions in case of a change in interest rates. The analysed investments do not include held-to-maturity bonds as they are measured at amortised cost. Interest rate risk is managed through each company's efforts to optimise maturity matching of assets and liabilities so that any movement on the assets side neutralises the movement on the liabilities side.

On 30 June 2016, the value of interest-sensitive financial investments stood at € 845.7 million (31/12/2015: € 760.2 million). Of this, the value of interest-sensitive financial investments of non-life funds was € 583.1 million (31/12/2015: € 524.3 million); the value of interest-sensitive financial investments of life funds was € 262.5 million (31/12/2015: € 235.9 million).

The sensitivity analysis for data at 30 June 2015 showed that in the event of an upward shift of the yield curve by 50 basis points, the value of non-life insurance investments would drop by € 10.2 million or 1.8 % (31/12/2015: € 4.5 million or 0.9 %). The value of life insurance investments would decline by € 5.7 million or 2.2 % (31/12/2015: € 4.7 million or 2.0 %).

6.4.1.2 Equity risk

Equity risk is measured through a stress test assuming a 10-percent drop in equity prices. Equity risk affects shares, equity mutual funds and mixed mutual funds (in stress tests, we include half of the amount).

In case of a 10 % drop in the market prices of equity securities at 30 June 2016, the value of investments would decrease by € 2.9 million (31/12/2015: € 3.0 million).

The risk did not change significantly compared to year-end 2015.

6.4.1.3 Property risk

Property risk is the risk that the value of property will decrease due to fluctuations in real estate markets.

Exposure to property risk is monitored through a stress test assuming a 25 % drop in prices. The basis for the calculation is the balance of investment property.

In case of a 25 % drop in property prices, the value of investments at 30 June 2016 would decrease by € 2.0 million (31/12/2015: € 2.0 million).

The risk did not change compared to year-end 2015.

6.4.1.4 Currency risk

The Sava Re Group manages currency risk through the efforts of each Group member to optimise asset-liability currency matching. Sava Reinsurance Company is the Sava Re Group member with the largest exposure to currency risk due to its substantial international presence. Other Group companies whose local currency is the euro (other companies based in Slovenia, Montenegro and Kosovo) have all liabilities and investments denominated in euro, meaning that these companies are not affected by currency risk. Group companies whose local currency is not the euro transact most business in their respective local currencies, while due to Group relations, they are to a minor extent subject to euro-related currency risk and translation risk in respect to equity.

Sava Reinsurance Company reduces its currency risk by matching assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Currencies are matched at the accounting currency level. If capital markets are not available in the accounting currency, currencies are matched at the transaction currency level.

The tables below show currency matching of Sava Reinsurance Company with effects on the statement of financial position and the income statement at 30 June 2016.

Total 611,606,376 611,606,376
% of currency matched liabilities 95.3 %

At 30 June 2016, the Company had a surplus of assets over liabilities in US dollar (€ 10.9 million). This surplus was due to asset-liability management practices where the Company ties to the US dollar a number of foreign currencies that are at least 90 % correlated with the US dollar. When these correlations are taken into account, the surplus of assets over liabilities in US dollar is reduced to € 4.2 million.

A currency mismatch also affects the income statement of Sava Reinsurance Company through accounting for exchange differences due to the impact of exchange rate changes on various statement of financial position items.

When assets and liabilities are 100 % matched in terms of foreign currencies, changes in foreign exchange rates have no impact on profit or loss. This is because any change in the value of assets denominated in a foreign currency as a result of a change in the exchange rate is offset by the change in the value of liabilities denominated in that foreign currency. As Sava Reinsurance Company's assets and liabilities are 95.3 % currency matched, changes in foreign exchange rates still affect the income statement to some extent. The following table shows the impact of exchange differences.

Statement of financial position item Exchange differences

Total effect on the income statement 179,367 -351,105 -177,484

Effect of exchange differences on the income statement for 1–6/2016

6.4.2 Credit risk

The Group mitigates credit risk by investing in highly rated debt securities. At 30 June 2016 a share of 80.9 % of the fixed income portfolio was rated "investment grade" (BBB– or better) (31/12/2015: 83.0 %), and 45.9 % of investments were rated A- or better (31/12/2015: 47.6 %).

Credit risk due to issuer default includes concentration risk representing the risk of excessive concentration in a geographic area, economic sector or issuer.

The investment portfolio of the Sava Re Group is reasonably diversified in accordance with local law and Group internal rules in order to avoid large concentration in a certain type of investment, large concentration with any counterparty or economic sector or other potential forms of concentration.

The Group's largest regional concentration is with EU countries (30/06/2016: 49.7 %; 31/12/2015: 47.7 %). In terms of industry, the Group is mainly exposed to governments (30/06/2016: 52.2 %; 31/12/2015: 54.0%), followed by the banking sector (30/06/2016: 22.3 %; 31/12/2015: 21.0 %). In the banking sector, covered bonds represent 46.2 % of the exposure (31/12/2015: 43.8 %). The Group holds covered bonds as a form of low-risk investment. Exposure to the 10 largest issuers accounted for 35.7 % of the investment portfolio (31/12/2015: 37.4%), with the largest exposure to the Republic of Slovenia (31/03/2016: 20.7 %; 31/12/2015: 22.9%), while exposure to any other single issuer does not exceed 3 % of the investment portfolio.

We estimate that credit risk has not changed significantly compared to the year-end, while concentration risk decreased primarily due to the reduced concentration of government bonds of the Republic of Slovenia.

6.4.3 Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is managed through prudent forecasting of future cash flow requirements.

In the event of large losses, so-called cash call provisions in reinsurance contracts are triggered, providing for immediate payments in the chain cedant – controlling company – retrocessionaire.

For the purpose of liquidity risk management, Sava Reinsurance Company has arranged a credit line with a commercial bank in the total amount of € 10 million.

The Slovenia-based companies maintain a high proportion of their portfolio in highly liquid assets that are readily available to provide liquidity in the event of unexpected liquidity requirements (liquidity class L1A according to the ECB classification of assets eligible for collateral).

In the case of extraordinary liquidity needs of both Slovenia- and non-Slovenia based companies, the parent company would provide necessary funds from the parent's surplus funds or through loans.

In terms of liquidity of Group companies, the matching of the assets with the technical and mathematical provisions covered is very important. Each Group company is responsible for monitoring the matching of assets with liability funds for life and non-life business and for regularly reporting the status of both to the parent company and supervisory institutions.

We believe that liquidity risk is low and manageable.

6.5 Operational risks

The Group's operational risk policy lays down the processes and accountability in the management of such risks. Both on the company and Group level, operational risks are regular identified, assessed and monitored in each company's and the Group's risk register. The main operational risk categories to which individual companies and the Group are exposed are:

  • risk of internal and external fraud,
  • employment practices and workplace safety,
  • risks associated with clients, products and business practices,
  • risk of damage to physical assets,
  • risk of business disruption and system failures,
  • risk of process management and execution and
  • compliance risk (laws and regulations).

Operational risk generally arises together with other risks (e.g. underwriting risk, market risk), having a tendency to compound them. Inconsistencies in the underwriting process, for example, may significantly increase underwriting risks.

For effective management of operational risks, Group companies – in line with the risk management policy – establish processes for identifying, measuring, monitoring, managing and reporting of operational risks. To manage operational risk, the Group companies have in place an effective internal control system (their use is regulated in the Group's internal control policy) and a business process management system.

Significant operational risks are managed by Group companies as follows:

  • Each Group company has in place procedures (set down in writing) for detecting and preventing insurance fraud.
  • To manage IT risks, companies have adopted security policies in accordance with the ISO 27001 standard. Documentation related to information security management encompasses three levels: the rules of procedure regarding information security, security policies, and systemic procedures and instructions.
  • As part of operational risk management, Group companies have drawn up business continuity plans for all critical processes in case of incidents or external events. In this way, the Group mitigates the risk of unpreparedness for incidents and external events and any resulting business interruption.
  • For the purpose of operational risk management, the Sava Re Group has put in place adequate IT-supported procedures and controls in the most important areas of operation. In addition, such risks are managed through the internal audit function, through staff training and enhanced risk awareness.

6.6 Strategic risks

The Sava Re Group and its Group members are also exposed to internal and external strategic risk. Strategic risks at the individual company and Group level are regularly identified and assessed; such data being recorded in the risk register. The risk management service monitors and regularly reports on strategic risks to the risk management committee and the management board. Strategic risk management is carried out mainly through the governance system of individual companies and the Group as well as through systematic risk management at both the company and Group level.

We estimated that the Group is particularly exposed to strategic risks associated with the merger of the Group's EU-based insurers. The Group is aware of the risks involved in the project, monitoring and assessing them on a regular basis to identify and manage them as early as possible.

Other important categories of strategic risk relate to adequacy and the allocation of capital because the new Solvency II regulation effective as of 1 January 2016 completely changed the notions of required capital and eligible own funds.

As part of its risk strategy, the Sava Re Group identified reputation risk as a key risk. For this purpose, the Group has laid down criteria as to which practices are unacceptable in the Sava Re Group.

6.7 Insolvency risk

The Sava Re Group has calculated the opening balance of the Group's capital requirements as at 1 January 2016 in accordance with Solvency II regulations. The Group held eligible own funds of € 403 million, of which most were tier 1 funds. The valuation of both assets and liabilities for determining eligible own funds was carried out in accordance with economic principles. The Solvency Capital Requirement of the Group was € 200 million. The solvency ratio at 1 January 2016 stood at 201 %, which indicates that the capital position of the Sava Re Group is good.

The Group's eligible own funds at 30 March 2016 dropped slightly to € 390 million. It is worth noting that the Solvency II balance sheet is based on market value and is as a result much more volatile than are valuations in accordance with IFRS, which is why we also expect greater volatility of eligible own funds.

The calculation of eligible own funds at day 30 June 2016 is underway, but no significant deviation from the last calculation is expected. The Group does not calculate a detailed quarterly Solvency Capital Requirement, but monitors its risk profile through various risk indicators. Based on these indicators, we estimate that the Group' capital adequacy is at a high level at 30 June 2016.

As the Group's capital position is very good, we estimate that compliance with regulatory requirements is not at risk and that the insolvency risk is very small.

6.8 Risk exposure up until year-end 2016

The main risks that the Group is exposed to are underwriting risks followed by market risks. The realisation of underwriting risks is fortuitous and only for certain classes of insurance seasonal. A major increase in realised underwriting risks could be expected as a result of an increased frequency of storms with massive losses, while an increase in realised financial risk could be expected as a result of unfavourable trends in financial markets.

The year 2016 will bring about many changes in the Sava Re Group. The most important change is surely the combination of EU-based Group insurers (EU project); therefore, in addition to underwriting and market risk, the Group will also be significantly exposed to operational and strategic risks associated with the project. We expect that strategic and operational risks associated with the EU project will remain at a high level until the completion of the project.

Unaudited consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months to 30 June 2015

8 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The selected notes to the half-yearly financial statements are significant to an understanding of the changes in financial position and performance of the Group in the first half-year of 2016 as compared to both the first half-year of 2015 and end-of-year 2015.

8.1 Overview of major accounting policies

The financial statements with notes have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

Pursuant to IAS 34, notes are provided in relation to major business events that are required to understand the financial position and performance of the Group compared to the previous annual financial report prepared for 2015.

The financial statements with notes as at and for the six months to 30 June 2016 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements at 30 June 2016 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2015.

As of 1 January 2016, the Group changed the disclosure of cash assets to include cash equivalents. Previously, in the statement of financial position at 31 December 2015 these were disclosed under financial investments. Thus, the statement of financial position and cash flow item "cash and cash equivalents" comprises:

  • cash, including cash on hand, cash in bank accounts of commercial banks or other financial institutions and overnight deposits, and
  • cash equivalents, including demand deposits and deposits with an original maturity of up to three months.

Detailed information on this change is provided in note 8.8.5 "Cash and cash equivalents".

8.2 Seasonality and cyclicality of interim operations

The operations of the Group are not seasonal in nature. Pursuant to underwriting rules, Group insurance companies defer costs/expenses and income that, by their nature, may or is required to be deferred also at the year-end.

8.3 The nature and amount of unusual items

There were no items unusual because of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the period 1–6/2016.

8.4 Materiality

Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2 % thereof at 30 June 2016, which is € 5.9 million. Changes in the balance of statement of financial position items that did not exceed the set materiality threshold have not been presented in detail in interim financial statements. Disclosures and notes that the Group is required to present under IAS 34 or statutory requirements are given in the report, even though they may not exceed the materiality threshold.

8.5 Issues, repurchases, and repayments of debt and equity securities

The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.

8.6 Key accounting estimates and judgements

The Group is predominately composed of financial companies that invest their assets (those supporting liabilities as well as capital funds) in financial instruments. If the fair value of any financial instrument falls below its cost, the Group – pursuant to applicable accounting rules – examines whether the decrease is a significant and long-term one, in the event of which the financial instrument is impaired.

8.7 Analysis of operating segments

Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments have been formed based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks and the environment in which companies operate).

In view of the nature, scope and organisation of work, CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) is a group composed of management board members, director of finance, director of strategic finance and controlling, and director of risk management. CODM can monitor quarterly the results of operations by segments. These results include technical results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions. All figures reviewed by CODM are part of quarterly financial reports submitted to the management board.

Operating segments include reinsurance business, non-life insurance business, life insurance business, and the "other" segment. Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, a common performance indicator for all segments being net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs.

8.8.2 Financial investments

In the first six months of 2016 financial investments decreased by € 3.1 million compared to year-end 2015. The item decreased because as of 1 January 2016, demand deposits and deposits with an original maturity of up to three months in the amount of € 22 million were transferred to the item cash and cash equivalents (demand deposits of € 20.4 million and deposits with an original maturity of up to three months of € 1.6 million). Had this reclassification been made at 31 December 2015, financial investments at 31 December 2015 would have totalled € 993 million. With regard to the above, financial investments as at 30 June 2016 increased by € 18.9 million compared to the adjusted balance as at 31 December 2015.

8.8.3 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

Reinsurers' share of technical provisions (retroceded technical provisions) increased by € 7.1 million or 29.8 % compared to 31 December 2015. This is mainly because of the high level of retroceded unearned premiums set aside for non-proportional covers that are fully booked at the beginning of the year and for which the unearned premiums represent a deferment; thus retroceded unearned premium increased by € 4.7 million compared to the beginning of the year. The reinsurer's share of the claims provision increased by € 1.8 million, mainly due to a large retroceded fire loss incurred by the insured Impol.

8.8.4 Receivables

There was also an increase of € 4.4 million in receivables arising out of reinsurance and co-insurance business as a result of renewals of foreign-sourced reinsurance contracts written by Sava Reinsurance Company.

8.8.9 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by € 57.4 million or 6.5 % compared to 31 December 2015. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (€ 40.3 million) as a result of establishing high unearned premiums for coverages for which the full-year premiums were booked at the beginning of the year. Gross claims provisions increased by 2.6 % (€ 12.1 million) mainly due to (i) non-Group reinsurance business as a result of growth in 2015, (ii) Slovenian non-life business as a result of a large fire loss and (iii) the assumption of a minor portfolio in Serbia in run-off. The gross provision for traditional life policies increased by 1.6 % (or € 4.1 million) compared to year-end 2015. Provisions for bonuses, rebates and cancellations remained at approximately the same level as at the end of 2015, while the provision for unexpired risks increased in line with the growth in unearned premiums.
