Notes:

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

The return on the investment portfolio for 1–9/2017 differs from the figure published in the 1–9/2017 financial report as the latter did not include depreciation charges relating to investment property equipment.

  • Net investment income of the investment portfolio does not include 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.
  • The Group's unaudited solvency ratio as at 30 June 2018 stood at 211% (calculated using the Group's solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2017 and eligible own funds as at 30 June 2018).

The table below compares actual figures against figures planned for the full year 2018:

(EUR million) 1–9/2018 2018 plan As % of plan
Consolidated gross premiums written 430.3 > 520.0 82.7%
Net profit or loss for the period 29.1 37.0-39.0 78.7%
Annualised return on equity 11.8% > 11.0%
Net combined ratio, excluding exchange differences 94.5% 94.0–94.5%
Net incurred loss ratio, excluding exchange differences 58.8% 59.4–59.9%
Net expense ratio, excluding exchange differences 32.3% 31.4–31.7%
Annualised return on the investment portfolio, excluding
exchange differences
1.8% 1.7%

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

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

In the period 1–9/2018, the Sava Re Group achieved a net profit of EUR 29.1 million, which is 78.7% of the lower value of the planned range for the full year 2018 and a 39.2% increase year on year. The combined ratio is also within the planned range, and we believe it will remain so until the end of the year. The strong net profit figure reflects an improved technical performance of the reinsurance and non-life segments as the result of fewer major loss events year on year and favourable development of provisions of previous underwriting years. Consequently, the net incurred loss ratio is also favourable. The net expense ratio for 1–9/2018 slightly exceeded the full year target ratio mainly because of higher expenses incurred in the reinsurance segment (acquisition costs, including the change in deferred acquisition costs, were high owing to the decline in gross premiums written and the resulting lower change in deferred acquisition costs) and the life segment (lower premiums following a wave of policy maturities in conjunction with higher acquisition costs resulting from strong sales of new products, while these premiums failed to offset premiums lost through maturities).

1.4 Significant events in the nine months to 30 September 2018

  • In January 2018, Polona Pirš Zupančič entered her five-year term of office as a member of the management board. After this change, the Sava Re management board continued to operate as a four-member body. This is because in its session on 20 December 2017, the supervisory board of Sava Re took note of the notice of Mateja Treven on her early termination of her term as Sava Re management board member and accepted Mateja Treven's proposal for a consensual termination of her employment contract as management board member. Mateja Treven concluded her role as management board member on 13 January 2018.
  • On 31 January 2018, Sava Re satisfied all suspensive conditions, thus becoming the owner of 75% of TBS Team 24.
  • In accordance with article 171(7) of the Insurance Act (ZZavar-1; Uradni list RS/Official Gazette of the Republic of Slovenia, No. 93/15) Sava Re entered into outsourcing agreements with Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava pokojninska based on which the key function of internal audit of the companies Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava pokojninska was transferred to Sava Re for an indefinite period, starting on 1 February 2018.
  • On 13 March 2018, Sava Re satisfied all suspensive conditions, thus becoming the owner of 100% of NLB Nov penziski fond AD Skopje.
  • In March 2018, after obtaining approvals from Serbia's central bank and other licences from other regulators, Sava Re purchased a 92.94% stake in the Serbian-based company Energoprojekt Garant. In July 2018, Sava Re became the sole owner of the company under its takeover bid and subsequent squeeze-out of minority shareholders. After merging the acquired company with its existing subsidiary, the Serbian non-life insurer Sava neživotno osiguranje (SRB), Sava Re is planning to optimise the subsidiary's capital structure.
  • In April 2018, Zavarovalnica Sava as the buyer signed a contract with the sellers Ergo Austria International AG and Ergo Versicherung Aktiengesellschaft for 100% of the Croatian-based companies ERGO osiguranje d.d. and Ergo životno osiguranje d.d. In the second and third quarters, the documentation was compiled required to obtain Croatian regulatory approval for the acquisition of a qualifying holding. At the time this report was written, the suspensive conditions had not yet been met.

  • In June 2018, the current management board members Srečko Čebron and Jošt Dolničar started their new five-year terms of office.

The subsidiary Zavarovalnica Sava, which has a relatively large market share in this part of Slovenia, assured its policyholders that it would settle all valid claims under its policies. This loss event has a EUR 5.2 million impact on the 1–9/2018 result.
  • In July 2018, after its regular annual rating review, rating agency Standard & Poor's raised its longterm issuer credit and issuer financial strength ratings on Sava Re and Zavarovalnica Sava to 'A'. The outlook is 'stable'.

Sava Re Group interim business report

2 Sava Re Group review of operations

Business is presented by operating segment: reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions and the 'other' segment. The non-life and life segments are further broken down by geography (Slovenia and international).

The following companies are included in the operating segments:

  • Reinsurance business: Sava Re;
  • Non-life business, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava, Slovenian part;
  • Non-life business, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (Croatian part), Sava neživotno osiguranje (SRB), Illyria, Sava osiguranje (MNE), Sava osiguruvanje (MKD), Illyria Hospital, Sava Car, Sava Agent, Sava Station, Energoprojekt Garant;
  • Life business, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (Slovenian part), ZS Svetovanje, Ornatus KC;
  • Life business, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (Croatian part), Sava životno osiguranje (SRB), Illyria Life;
  • Pensions: Sava pokojninska, Sava penzisko društvo;
  • Other: TBS Team 24, ZTSR.

For the purpose of segment reporting, we have also made the following reallocations of income statement items:

  • Reallocations are made from the reinsurance segment to the other segments (Sava Re 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 are reallocated to the segments 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 portions of business retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers is not allocated to the segments. Retrocession-related expenses usually exceed income (except in the case of catastrophic claims). In order to provide a more appropriate presentation of profitability by segment, the result of retroceded business is also allocated to the segment where it arose. All these items are adjusted only in the part relating to the risks of subsidiaries retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers.
  • Other operating expenses relating to the reinsurance segment are reduced by the portion of expenses attributable to the administration of the Sava Re Group. Sava Re operates as a virtual holding company; hence, a part of its expenses relates to the administration of the Group. This portion of expenses of the reinsurance segment is allocated to other segments based on income. Such reallocation is made also for other operating expenses relating to intra-group reinsurance transactions. In the period 1–9/2018, Sava Re allocated 64.9% of other operating expenses to segments as monitored by income composition (1–9/2017: 62.7%). Furthermore, operating expenses of TBS Team 24 incurred by the company relating to its business with other Group companies were allocated to the Slovenian non-life operating segment (1–9/2018: EUR 1.9 million, 1–6/2017: EUR 0). In the same way, income is eliminated in the consolidation process.
  • Investment income and expenses are reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters).

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

  • Intangible assets goodwill is allocated to the segment from which it arises (reallocated from the reinsurance segment to other segments, depending on which subsidiary it relates to).
  • The balance of financial investments is reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters).
  • The 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 indent one of adjustments to income statement items.
  • Equity is reallocated from the reinsurance segment to other segments based on the cost of investments in subsidiaries (the sum total of carrying amounts of non-life insurers is reallocated to the non-life segment, and that of life insurers is reallocated to the life insurance and other segments).

TBS Team 24 was first consolidated in the Group financial statement on 31 January 2018, and the companies Energoprojekt Garant and Sava penzisko društvo on 31 March 2018.

Consolidated gross profit or loss

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement

In 1–9/2017, exchange differences had a significant impact on the composition of the result, so below we set out results, excluding the effect of exchange differences. The impact of exchange differences on the result by operating segment was as follows: positive effect on the underwriting result of EUR 0.7 million (1–9/2017: EUR 4.2 million positive effect); negative effect on the investment result of EUR 0.7 million (1–9/2017: EUR 5.4 million negative effect). The total positive effect of exchange differences on the result of 1–9/2018 amounted to EUR 0.01 million (1–9/2017: EUR 1.2 million negative effect).

* The 'other' segment includes TBS Team 24, which was not a member of the Sava Re Group in 1–9/2017.

2.1 Reinsurance

Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 7.7 'Segment reporting'. The reinsurance segment reflects developments of the reinsurance portfolio written by Sava Re outside the Sava Re Group.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business

The performance of this operating segment is impacted by exchange differences, which is why the underwriting and investment results are not directly comparable. The impact of exchange differences is set out in section 2 under the heading 'Consolidated gross profit or loss' and refers to the reinsurance segment shown here.

The following graph shows the profit or loss, excluding exchange differences.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business, excluding exchange differences

The underwriting result, excluding exchange differences, was better year on year, largely as a result of lower claims incurred (see comments later in this report) and a one-off positive effect from a favourably resolved legal dispute (EUR 1.5 million). The investment result, excluding exchange differences, for the period 1–9/2017 was also better compared to the same period last year, thanks primarily to stronger investment income (up EUR 0.3 million) and lower interest expenses (down EUR 0.7 million).

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned; reinsurance business

(EUR) 1–9/2018 1–9/2017 Index
Gross premiums written 71,937,165 77,012,312 93.4
Net premiums written 68,534,511 73,845,412 92.8
Change in net unearned premiums -4,191,273 -8,362,000 50.1
Net earned premiums 64,343,238 65,483,412 98.3

In 1–9/2018 gross premiums written in this segment were slightly lower year on year. This drop reflects lower premium volume sourced abroad as a result of systematic restrictions on premium growth and the decline of less profitable business. On the other hand, the Company enjoyed premium growth in Asian markets, mainly due to organic business growth and larger lines written on contract renewals. In 1–9/2018, net premiums earned were 1.7% lower year on year.

The change in net unearned premiums was lower year on year owing to the drop in gross premiums written, largely as the result of a smaller volume of new business in the period 1–9/2018.

Net claims incurred 41,835,113 44,773,758 93.4

In 1–9/2018, net claims incurred rose by 3.5%, but this increase is largely the result of a considerable impact of exchange differences in the period 1–9/2017 (1–9/2018: EUR 0.8 million; 1–9/2017: EUR 5.1 million). Excluding exchange differences, claims incurred in this year are lower year on year because there were fewer major loss events (2017: US storms and individual major losses in Russia; 2018: floods in India of EUR 0.9 million, typhoon losses in Japan of EUR 2.7 million and individual loss events in Russia). The net incurred loss ratio of 65.0% is consequently better year on year (1–9/2017: 69.1%).

In 1–9/2018, acquisition costs increased by 0.2% despite a 6.6% drop in gross premiums written. Acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written in 1–9/2017 rose by 1.5 percentage points year on year to 23.0%. The rise in commission expenses reflects the Company's shift towards more profitable business, which involves higher commission payments, in particular under soft market conditions.

In 1–9/2018, the change in deferred acquisition costs was smaller than the year-on-year figure, which is in line with the trend in unearned premiums and is driven by the same factors.

Other operating expenses rose by 1.4%, mainly on account of legal services required to obtain licences for expansion to new markets.

In 1–9/2018, the net expense ratio deteriorated by 2.8 percentage points as a result of higher acquisition costs, including the change in deferred acquisition costs.

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

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

In 1–9/2018, net investment income totalled EUR 2.7 million, up EUR 0.5 million year on year. The increase in net investment income was driven by higher income from investment property (up EUR 0.3 million) and lower interest expenses (down EUR 0.7 million) after Sava Re fully repaid its subordinated debt in mid-2017. On the other hand, realised net profits dropped by EUR 0.2 million, while interest income declined by EUR 0.2 million. The return on investment for the period was 2.0%.

2.2 Non-life business

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

  • Zavarovalnica Sava, non-life
  • Sava osiguranje (MNE)
  • Sava neživotno osiguranje (SRB)
  • Sava osiguruvanje (MKD)
  • Illyria
  • Energoprojekt Garant
  • Sava Car
  • Sava Agent
  • Sava Station

Energoprojekt Garant joined the Sava Re Group on 31 March 2018 and has been included in the consolidated income statement as of 1 April 2018. The Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava is discussed under Slovenian non-life insurance, while the Croatian part of the company is discussed under international non-life insurance.

Income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are given in the notes to the financial statements, section 7.7 'Segment reporting'.

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

The non-life segment recorded a (EUR 4.3 million) better consolidated net result in 1–9/2018 compared to the same period last year. Slovenian insurance companies generated EUR 0.3 million of this growth, while EUR 0.5 million was generated by non-Slovenian insurers.

The consolidated underwriting result of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 4.1 million, driven by growth in net premiums incurred. Similarly, the underwriting performance of non-Slovenian non-life insurers improved by EUR 0.9 million, largely as the result of higher net earned premiums.

The investment result of the Slovenian non-life insurer declined by EUR 0.4 million year on year owing to lower capital gains and interest income (lower interest rates in capital markets). The investment result of international non-life companies improved by EUR 0.3 million, mainly driven by higher gains on the disposal of securities of the Montenegrin non-life insurer.

Unconsolidated gross non-life premiums of Sava Re Group companies

Gross non-life insurance premiums grew by 10.5% in 1–9/2018 as a result of the growth in gross nonlife premiums of all insurance companies in the Group.

Slovenia recorded a 9.9% rise, primarily reflecting a larger volume of motor insurance policies. Motor premium growth achieved with private individuals was driven both by a higher number of policies written and growth in average premiums. Premiums also grew in part as the result of an increase in the number of policyholders and wider coverages taken out. The Slovenian non-life insurance market grew at a rate of 6.1% in the period.

Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 13.6%. Gross non-life premiums grew in all of the Group's international non-life insurers, with the largest growth coming from the Serbian nonlife insurer. The Serbian non-life insurer grew gross premiums written across its entire insurance portfolio. The fastest growth was achieved through better sales of voluntary health, personal accident and motor liability business. The Kosovan non-life insurer also achieved premium growth in all classes of insurance in 1–9/2018, with the largest absolute growth in health insurance, driven by a larger number of active policies and motor vehicle liability insurance. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava grew by 15.7%. The highest absolute growth was achieved in motor vehicle liability insurance and motor casco. The Montenegrin insurer produced 3.2% premium growth, especially on account of the growth in gross premiums relating to motor vehicle liability and land motor vehicles business. The Macedonian insurer recorded the largest premium growth in health insurance as a result of the introduction of new products and other damage to property business.

Net non-life insurance premiums written abroad grew by 14.3% in 1–9/2018.

Owing to the schedule of writing commercial policies and additional growth in the volume of gross premiums written, there was also a larger change in unearned premiums.

Total net premiums earned grew by 10.6%.

Gross claims paid for Slovenian business in the period 1–9/2018 rose primarily as a result of increased gross motor claims paid. Additionally, gross claims paid increased year on year owing to storm claim payments (of which EUR 3.7 million relates to the storm loss of 8 June 2018) and the rise in property claims (primarily fire and other damage to property).

Gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business rose by 22.9%. This increase was driven by higher gross claims paid of all international non-life insurers, except the Macedonian non-life insurer. Gross claims paid by the Kosovan non-life insurer rose, reflecting larger claims in health insurance and motor liability as a result of higher loss frequency and larger than average claim amounts. The rise in the claims of the Serbian non-life insurer were mainly the result of larger claim payments relating to personal accident and a fire loss incurred in the property business. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava saw an increase in gross claims paid primarily in motor business, driven by a larger volume of business and an increase in reported and settled claims. The Montenegrin non-life insurer, by contrast, paid more claims relating to accident insurance (under group policies) and land motor vehicles insurance due to several large claims. The Macedonian non-life insurer recorded lower gross claims paid in 1–9/2018 year on year. This is related to a large claim settled in January 2017.

The change in the net provision for outstanding claims of the Slovenian non-life insurer was negative, at EUR 8.7 million in 1–9/2018, while in 1–9/2017 it was positive, at EUR 3.1 million. Last year, the net provision for outstanding claims increased due to the storms of August 2017. This year, the net provision for outstanding claims decreased by EUR 3.6 million as the result of claim payments made relating to the mentioned storms of 2017 and for some major property losses.

In 1–9/2018, the change in the net provision for outstanding claims of the Group's non-Slovenian nonlife insurers was EUR 0.5 million lower year on year. The change in the net provision for outstanding claims declined mainly because of the Kosovan and Croatia non-life insurers. The decline in the change in the net provision for outstanding claims of the Kosovan non-life insurer reflected a major claim payment made at the end of 2017, which had been reserved during 1–9/2017. The Croatian non-life insurer, in contrast, reported a lower change in the net provision for outstanding claims year on year as the result of the 2017 alignment of the accounting of technical provisions with the Slovenian nonlife insurer.

Non-insurance Group companies 941,759 877,381 107.3

Consolidated acquisition costs rose by 23.2%, chiefly owing to larger premium volumes and premium growth in classes of insurance for which higher acquisition costs are typically incurred, while target combined ratios remain at an appropriate level, and owing to premium growth in the Serbian non-life insurer and expanded external distribution channels of the Croatian non-life insurer.

The rise in other operating expenses largely reflects the higher expenses incurred by the Serbian nonlife insurer.

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-life segment dropped by 0.2 percentage points due to a 10.5% growth in gross non-life premiums written, while acquisition costs and other operating expenses together increased by 9.4%.

The consolidated gross expense ratio relating to the Slovenian non-life insurer also remained flat.

The consolidated gross expense ratio of non-Slovenian non-life companies dropped by 1.3 percentage points due to a 13.6% growth in gross non-life premiums written, while acquisition costs plus other operating expenses grew 10.3%.

Net investment income

The Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava is discussed as Slovenian life insurance, while the Croatian part of the company is discussed as international life insurance. In the financial report for the period 1–9/2017, the life operating segment still included the pension company Sava pokojninska, which has been reallocated to the pension segment since the first quarter of 2018. For the sake of comparability, the tables below do not include data of Sava pokojninska.

In 1–9/2018, gross premiums written by the Group's life insurers grew year on year. At Zavarovalnica Sava, gross premiums written decreased because a large number of policies reached maturity. The insurer sought to compensate for this loss by writing new policies; however, could not fully offset premiums lost on account of maturities, deaths and surrenders.

Non-Slovenian gross premiums written grew at Illyria Life and Sava životno osiguranje (SRB), both generating double-digit growth rates. The largest, 27.7%, growth was achieved by the Serbian insurer, who managed to boost the productivity of its sales network and launched four new products in 2018. The growth in gross premiums written was also significantly affected by the information system implemented last year for planning and monitoring activities, which is technically supported and includes a key performance indicator system. The same system was set up at the Kosovan life insurer at the end of 2017, where some benefits already showed in 1–9/2018. Another factor benefitting growth in gross premiums written was the stabilisation of the sales network.

The branch of Zavarovalnica Sava achieved a 5.2% growth in gross premiums written, which is marginally less than in previous years and below the growth rate achieved by the Croatian life insurance market of 10.5%. Growth slowed down because of the large number of policies that reached maturity in early 2018. Similar to the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava, the Croatian branch increased sales of new products, but growth was not as high as in the past because of the large number of policy maturities.

Gross claims paid in Slovenia grew by 14.6% in 1–9/2018 as the result of a large number of unit-linked policies that matured in 2018. The lion's share of maturities in 1–9/2018 related to unit-linked life insurance where policyholders bear the investment risk (EUR 23.1 million), while maturities of traditional life policies totalled EUR 19.6 million. Compared to the previous year, total maturities relating to traditional life policies increased by EUR 9.3 million; maturities of unit-linked life policies grew by EUR 5.2 million. The movement in claims needs to be viewed in conjunction with the change in technical provisions.

As in Slovenia, the reason for the large increase in gross claims paid in non-Slovenian insurers is the large number of maturities in the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava. At the branch of Zavarovalnica Sava, claims increased by 145.6%, which is entirely due to policy maturities. However, this has no significant effect on the proportion of pay-outs at the Group level. Gross claims paid also rose at the Kosovan insurer, while in 1–9/2018, the Serbian company recorded claims at the same level year on year.

The year-on-year change in technical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk of the Slovenian insurers was affected by claims settlements as well as movements in mutual fund unit prices.

Acquisition costs rose as the result of larger sales of new insurance products.

The rise in other operating expenses was due to increases posted in these expenses by non-Slovenian insurers, whereas Zavarovalnica Sava reported a decline in other operating expenses. Non-Slovenian insurers chiefly reported increases in personnel costs, while the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava also reported increased marketing costs, transaction costs and costs of intellectual services. The reason for the increase in personnel costs at the Serbian insurer is a larger workforce (in 1–9/2018 the average number of employees rose by 19 year on year), while at the Kosovan insurer, personnel costs rose following the employment of agents.

Gross expense ratio; life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio for Slovenian companies rose by 1.1 percentage points as the result of a drop in gross premiums written due to maturities, growth in sales of new products and the resulting growth in acquisition costs of Zavarovalnica Sava, while operating expenses remained largely flat.

At the international companies, the consolidated gross expense ratio increased by 1.4 percentage points as costs outpaced premium growth, mainly owing to increased sales of new products.

In 1–9/2018, net investment income relating to the life insurance investment portfolio totalled EUR 5.6 million, down EUR 1.3 million year on year. Net investment income was lower largely because of lower interest income (EUR 0.9 million) and realised capital gains (EUR 0.2 million). The return on investment for the period was 2.1%.

2.4 Pensions

The pensions segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

Sava pokojninska

Gross inflows into the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension company increased by 3.5% in the period 1–9/2018 year on year. Growth was partly driven by an increase in the number of policyholders.

Gross fund outflows from the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension insurer dropped by 7.2% in the period 1–9/2018 year on year. Gross pay-outs may relate to regular or extraordinary terminations. The major part of the latter related to exits.

In the period 1–9/2018, the Company transferred assets in the amount of EUR 1.1 million from other pension service providers, while transfers to other providers totalled EUR 0.6 million, which resulted in a positive net effect.

Entry and exit charges relating to the My-Life-Cycle group of funds increased by 0.9% in the period 1– 9/2018 year on year.

Net investment income of funds totalled EUR 23.6 million in 4–9/2018. As at 30 September 2018, the net asset value of managed funds was EUR 501.9 million, representing a 13.3% growth since 31 December 2017.

The value of assets under management is not recognised in the statement of financial position of Sava penzisko društvo because the Macedonian pension company only manages the assets.

Pension annuities – distribution phase

Gross premiums written 1,695,300 1,572,516 107.8
Gross claims paid 511,639 320,824 159.5
Change in other net technical provisions (+/-) -1,199,307 -1,374,524 87.3

Gross premiums written relate to the KS MRS fund8 . Until June 2015 inclusive, policyholders had contracts for the KS DPRZ fund9 ; since June 2015, they are insured under a new pension plan that is aligned with the Pension and Disability Insurance Act-2, for the KS MRS fund. In 1–9/2018, the gross premiums of the annuity fund rose by 7.8% year on year, largely because a number of policyholders opted for additional pension annuities.

Gross claims paid include benefits for additional pension insurance relating to both pension funds, KS DPRZ and KS MRS. Pension benefit pay-outs rose by 59.5% over 1–9/2018 year on year. Once insured persons meet pension eligibility requirements, their assets are transferred from savings accounts to annuity accounts, which creates growth for annuity funds.

The change in technical provisions includes the change in the technical provision relating to the KS DPRZ and KS MRS funds. The change in other net technical provisions reflects the change in premiums and claims, and the change due to revaluation for 2017.

Net investment income

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (EUR); pensions segment 10

In 1–9/2018, net investment income relating to the investment portfolio of pension companies totalled EUR 0.2 million, down EUR 0.2 million year on year. Net investment income was lower largely because of lower interest income (EUR 0.01 million) and realised gains (EUR 0.1 million). Compared to the same period last year, expenses rose, by EUR 0.1 million, as a result of the adjustment of the level of liabilities relating to annuity contracts. The return on investment for the period was 1.3%.

10 The table includes the portfolios of Sava pokojninska (excluding investment contracts) and Sava penzisko društvo (excluding investment income of funds because the assets of these funds managed by Sava penzisko društvo are not included in the company's statement of financial position).

3 Financial position of the Sava Re Group

3.1.1 Intangible assets

As at 30 September 2018, intangible assets totalled EUR 36.2 million, up 59.5% compared to 31 December 2017. This increase relates to the increase in goodwill of EUR 14.0 million as the result of acquisitions. For more details, see section 7.8 'Business combinations'.

Investment contract assets 134,845,556 129,622,131 5,223,425 104.0

As at 30 September 2018, the Group's investment portfolio totalled EUR 1,098.8 million, an increase of EUR 14.5 million from the year-end 2017 figure. Positive contributions to the investment portfolio came from core (re)insurance cash flows11, change in accrued interest, realised gains on disposal of investments and dividend income from financial investments. Financial investments declined as a result of dividend distributions and a negative change in the fair value reserve but also because of the acquisitions of companies in the first quarter (more under 7.8 'Business combinations').

11 Cash flow from core (re)insurance business does not include cash flow from unit-linked business.

Composition of the Sava Re Group investment portfolio as at 31 December 2017 and 30 September 2018

* 'Other' investments comprise deposits with cedants, loans granted to or factoring business with infrastructure project company and financial investments in associated companies.

Composition of fixed-income investments as at 31 December 2017 and 30 September 2018

The composition of the Sava Re Group investment portfolio changed as follows:

  • 2.5-percentage-point drop in the proportion of fixed-income investments;
  • 2.0-percentage-point increase in the share of investments in mutual funds. This increase is largely the result of acquired bond and ETF12 money market funds;
  • larger proportion of infrastructure funds, which rose by 0.4 percentage points from the year-end (requests for payments into funds under commitments made in early 2018).

In the period, the decline and composition of fixed-income investments were largely the result of the following factors:

  • lower exposure to government bonds of EUR 32.0 million (3.3-percentage-point decline in the proportion of fixed-income investments), largely due to investments reaching maturity;
  • higher exposure to regular corporate and covered bonds by EUR 5.0 million. The value of investments in regular corporate bonds rose by EUR 13.5 million (larger share of fixed-income investments by 0.9 percentage points), the value of covered bonds dropped by EUR 14.4 million (smaller share of fixed-income investments by 1.5 percentage points);
  • increase in cash and cash equivalents of EUR 4.4 million (0.7 percentage point rise in their proportion of fixed-income investments).

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

Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk are a major asset item. Zavarovalnica Sava is the only Group company to market life products where the investment risk is borne by policyholders (unit-linked products).

Funds of policyholders who bear the investment risk are invested in financial investments (mainly in mutual funds selected by policyholders) and cash. As at 30 September 2018, funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled EUR 223.3, of which EUR 216.2 million were financial investments and EUR 7.2 million were cash and cash equivalents. The level of funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk fell by EUR 11.1 million compared to the previous year end. The main reasons for the decline is the negative cash flow from core business owing to maturing policies, which leads to larger payouts (-EUR 14.8 million), and transfers among funds.

3.1.4 Investment contract assets

The investment contract assets item includes liability fund assets relating to the life cycle funds 'MOJI skladi življenjskega cikla' managed by the Sava pokojninska pension company for the benefit of policyholders since 1 January 2016. This group consists of three long-term business funds: MOJ dinamični sklad (MY Dynamic Fund, MDF) and MOJ uravnoteženi sklad (MY Balanced Fund, MBF), where policyholders bear the full investment risk, and MOJ zajamčeni sklad (MY Guaranteed Fund, MGF), where policyholders bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed funds. As at 30 September 2018, investment contract assets totalled EUR 134.8 million, up 4.0% compared to 31 December 2017. The increase in investment contract assets relates to net flows (EUR 4.3 million; in the reporting period, inflows totalled EUR 9.4 million and outflows EUR 5.2 million) and the positive change in the fair value reserve (EUR 1.0 million).

As at 30 September 2018, financial investments accounted for 83.4% of total assets; the remaining amount comprises receivables, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

12 ETF = exchange-traded fund; mutual funds purchased through brokers.

Assets under the management of Sava penzisko društvo are not shown in the Company's statement of financial position; these amounts are shown in section 2.4 'Pensions'.

3.1.5 Receivables

Receivables increased by 10.7%, or EUR 14.8 million, compared to year-end 2017 (1–9/2017: increase of 19.4% or EUR 24.7 million). A higher increase in receivables is normal in the first nine months.

There was an increase in all categories of receivables other than those arising from reinsurance and co-insurance business. The largest increase was with receivables arising from primary insurance business, up EUR 15.0 million, or 12.0%, compared to 31 December 2017; however, the lion's share of this increase relates to not-past-due receivables (EUR 12.6 million). In absolute terms, the largest increase was in the non-life segment in Slovenia (increase of EUR 10.2 million; in 1–9/2017: increase of EUR 4.5 million), in the non-life segment (increase of EUR 2.2 million; in 1–9/2017: increase of EUR 2.0 million) and in the reinsurance segment (increase of EUR 2.2 million; in 1–9/2017: increase of EUR 1.0 million). The reason for the increase in the non-life segment is the annual renewal of insurance contracts with legal entities; in the reinsurance segment, the increase is due to the renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the timing of making estimates for reinsurance business.

There were also significant increases in other receivables, of EUR 1.6 million or 20.3%. The higher growth in other receivables of Sava Re of EUR 2.2 million mainly reflects the inclusion of TBS Team 24 into the Group. TBS Team 24 held receivables of EUR 1.9 million as at 30 September 2018.

3.2.1 Equity

Equity increased by 3.6%, or EUR 11.4 million, compared to year-end 2017.

In 1–9/2018, equity grew by the amount of net profit for the year of EUR 29.1 million and EUR 0.6 million relating to the increase in non-controlling interests in equity following the acquisitions of two companies not wholly owned by Sava Re as at 30 September 2018. On the other hand, capital decreased by EUR 12.7 million, reflecting dividend distributions (of which EUR 12.4 million relates to Sava Re dividend distributions and the rest to dividend distributions by minority interests), by EUR 5.2 million due to the decline in the fair value reserve and by EUR 0.5 million as the result of the acquisition of minority interests in Energoprojekt Garant.

3.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions are the largest item under liabilities. The figure as at 30 September 2018 was an increase of 3.7%, or EUR 34.7 million, over year-end 2017. The largest growth (EUR 36.8 million) stems from gross unearned premiums driven by seasonal movements: at the beginning of the year, high unearned premiums are set for annual premiums written, which are then gradually amortised over the year so that at year-end 2018, they will be comparable to year-end 2017.

Movements in consolidated gross technical provisions

(EUR) 30/09/2018 31/12/2017 Index
Gross unearned premiums 208,687,085 171,857,259 121.4
Gross mathematical provisions 266,627,260 271,409,915 98.2

Gross technical provisions 966,142,553 931,398,362 103.7

The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 5.5%, or EUR 8.5 million, compared to year-end 2017. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as the result of the annual dynamics of underwriting reinsurance business (up EUR 4.7 million; 1–9/2017: up EUR 8.7 million), while provisions for outstanding claims rose by EUR 3.7 million. This increase mainly is mainly related to the typhoon in Japan and floods in India.

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life segment grew by 6.4%, or EUR 31.0 million, compared to year-end 2017. Of this, EUR 32.2 million related to the growth in unearned premiums and seasonal movements (1–9/2017: growth of EUR 26.0 million), while provisions for outstanding claims shrank by EUR 4.1 million compared to year-end 2017. The latter is due to storm claim payments of the Slovenian insurer relating to previous year.

Gross mathematical provisions decreased by 1.8%, or EUR 4.8 million, mainly as the result of maturity benefits.

Other technical provisions (provisions for bonuses, rebates and cancellations, and other provisions) account for a smaller proportion and grew in total by EUR 3.1 million. This growth is primarily due to the strengthening of the provision for unexpired risks relating to the Slovenian non-life segment by EUR 2.7 million on account of some results of new policies that were weaker than expected.

3.2.3 Technical provisions for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk

The gross provisions associated with unit-linked life business totalled EUR 217.9 million as at 30 September 2018 and shrank by 3.8%, or EUR 8.6 million, mainly due to maturity benefits paid.

3.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

Investment contract liabilities of Sava pokojninska totalled EUR 134.7 million as at 30 September 2018, up 4.0%, or EUR 5.2 million, from year-end 2017. They move in line with investment contract assets depending on new inflows, outflows and movements in fund unit prices.

3.3 Capital structure

As at 30 September 2018, the Sava Re Group held EUR 327.5 million of equity. It held no subordinated debt and was thus exclusively financed from equity.

3.4 Cash flow

In the period 1–9/2018, the Sava Re Group's net cash from operating activities was a positive one of EUR 11.9 million (1–9/2017: EUR 28.9 million), which is below the year-on-year figure due to the payment of higher non-life claims and life insurance maturity benefits.

In the period 1–9/2018, the Sava Re Group's net cash from financing was a negative one of EUR 12.7 million (mostly relating to dividend payments), while in 1–9/2017, it had a negative net cash position of EUR 37.9 million, on account of both dividend distributions and the repayment of part of its subordinated debt.

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the period 1–9/2018 was smaller by EUR 21.3 million, which is the result of a lower cash flow from investing activities due to a tactical decision of the investment portfolio asset managers to reinvest assets at the reporting date, which was on account of market conditions. The net cash and cash equivalents position deteriorated owing to the cash outflow from financing activities relating to the repayment of the subordinated debt in 2017.

3.5 Sava Re rating profile

Sava Re is rated by two rating agencies, Standard & Poor's and A.M. Best.

Financial strength rating of Sava Re
-- --------------------------------------
Agency Rating13 Outlook Latest review
Standard & Poor's A stable July 2018: rating upgrade
A.M. Best A- stable October 2017: affirmed existing rating

Following its regular annual rating review in July 2018, rating agency Standard & Poor's upgraded its insurer financial strength rating on Sava Re. The upgrading reflected the Company's high capital

13 The credit rating agency Standard & Poor's uses the following scale for assessing financial strength: AAA (extremely strong), AA (very strong), A (strong), BBB (adequate), BB (less vulnerable), B (more vulnerable), CCC (currently vulnerable), CC (highly vulnerable), R (under regulatory supervision), SD (selectively defaulted), D (defaulted), NR (not rated). Plus (+) or minus (-) following the credit rating from AA to CCC indicates the relative ranking within the major credit categories.

A.M. Best uses the following categories to assess financial strength: A++, A+ (superior), A, A- (excellent), B++, B+ (good), B, B- (fair), C++, C+ (marginal), C, C- (weak), D (poor), E (under regulatory supervision), F (in liquidation), S (suspended).

adequacy over an extended period both under the rating agency's capital model and under Solvency II, further supported by a stable dividend policy. Additional factors were the Group's sound market position and profitability. The credit agency further believed the Group was benefitting from its acquisitions.

The table above shows the number of employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. The number of employees of the Group is subject to fluctuations, mainly due to fluctuations in the agency network. The headcount increased following the acquisition of new companies (67.0), and decreased as the result of streamlining operations following the merger of four of the Group's EU-based insurers (-38.8).

5 Risk management

In their operation, the Group companies are exposed to various categories of risk: insolvency risk, underwriting risk, risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risk associated with investment contracts, financial risk, operational risk, and strategic risk. The Group companies identify, measure, manage, monitor, and report on these risks in line with prescribed risk management processes. In addition, these risk management processes are set up at the Group level. The processes and methods of measuring and managing risk, and the exposure of the Group to the various categories of risk are detailed in the Sava Re Group annual report 2017 and are therefore not repeated in this report.

Capital adequacy and capital management in the Sava Re Group

The Sava Re Group uses the Solvency II standard formula for its solvency calculations. The most recent solvency calculation was carried out as at 31 December 2017. On that date, the Group was well capitalised and had a solvency ratio of 220%. Details on the valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's SCR as at 31 December 2017 are set out in the 'Sava Re Group solvency and financial condition report 2017' and are available on the Sava Re website.

The Group's eligible own funds as at 30 June 2018 decreased somewhat compared to 31 December 2017, while the risk profile remained roughly the same compared to year-end 2017, remaining in line with the Group's risk management strategy. As at 30 June 2018, the Group's solvency ratio stood at 211%, taking into account its eligible own funds as at 30 June 201814 and the adjusted balance of the solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2017. The solvency capital requirement was adjusted because of the changed capital requirement for Sava pokojninska and the inclusion of the new pension company Sava penzisko društvo. The risk to the Group's capital adequacy is very small.

Underwriting risk

The Group's subsidiaries assume risk from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risk to Sava Re. The controlling company also assumes such risk from other cedants; any excess is retroceded to other reinsurers.

The Group is exposed to the following non-life underwriting risks: underwriting process risk (insurance and reinsurance), pricing risk, claims risk, retention risk and reserving risk; while its life operations are exposed to lapse risk, mortality risk and life expense risk.

An increase in realised underwriting risk would essentially result in an increase in net claims. As the Group has in place an adequate retrocession programme, it is not exposed to the risk of a sharp increase in net claims, not even in the case of catastrophic losses. A more likely scenario to which the Group is exposed is the deterioration of the net combined ratio as a result of an increase in claims or expenses along with a decrease in premiums. A rise/drop in the Group's net combined ratio of 1 percentage point would decrease/increase its profit before tax by EUR 3.0 million (30/09/2017: EUR 2.8 million).

The Group's exposure to underwriting risk did not change significantly in the third quarter compared to year-end 2017. Accordingly, the Group's retrocession programme is largely unchanged from yearend 2017.

Risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk

In policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, market risk is transferred to policyholders, as mathematical provisions move in line with assets, except for products with a guaranteed return feature.

The following table shows risk registers for unit-linked life insurance business where market risk and the risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return are born by the insurer.

Total financial investments 63,812,222 71,534,048

Exposures to risks arising out of such policies declined in the period due to maturing insurance contracts.

Risks associated with investment contracts

The Group classifies as investment contracts its voluntary supplementary pension insurance (VSPI) business of the Sava pokojninska pension company during the accumulation phase, which is part of the company's group of liability funds (MY-Life-Cycle funds).

The value of the investments covering investment contract liabilities totalled EUR 134.8 million as at 30 September 2018, up EUR 5.2 million compared to 31 December 2017.

The risk related to the failure to achieve the guaranteed return did not increase in the period.

Financial risks

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

Market risk

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk as at 30 September 2018 of EUR 1,098.8 million shrank by EUR 14.5 million compared to 31 December 2017. Details are provided in section 3.1.2 'Investment portfolio'.

Interest rate risk

The value of investments included in the interest-rate risk calculation as at 30 September 2018 was EUR 892.8 million (31/12/2017: EUR 882.8 million). Of this, EUR 595.2 million (31/12/2017: EUR 593.9 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and EUR 297.7 million (31/12/2017: EUR 288.9 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life insurance assets was 3.22 years as at 30 September 2018 (31/12/2017: 3.15 years), while the expected maturity of non-life obligations was 2.92 years (31/12/2017: 3.18 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 3.60 years as at 30 September 2018 (31/12/2017: 3.46 years), while the expected duration of life insurance obligations was 4.45 (31/12/2017: 4.68).

The maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities did not change significantly, which is why interest rate risk did not change significantly in the period.

Equity risk

The value of investments that the Company includes in the equity risk calculation totalled EUR 20.6 million as at 30 September 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 19.8 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 2.1 million (31/12/2017: EUR 2.3 million).

The risk remained at about the same level as at year-end 2017.

Property risk

The value of investments that the Company includes in the property risk calculation totalled EUR 16.6 million as at 31 September 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 15.4 million). A 25% drop in property prices would result in a decline in the value of property investments of EUR 4.2 million (31/12/2017: EUR 3.8 million).

Property risk increased marginally compared to year-end 2017 owing to higher property investments.

Currency risk

The Company monitors the matching of assets and liabilities by both the ALM and accounting aspect. As at 30 September 2018, the position was 99.5% matched according to the management aspect (31/12/2017: 98.8%) and 97.0% matched according to the ALM aspect (31/12/2017: 96.5%).

The risk of a currency mismatch decreased slightly in the reporting period.

Credit risk

As at 30 September 2018, fixed-income investments rated 'A' or better accounted for 69.7% of the total fixed-income portfolio (31/12/2017: 74.2%). In the reporting period 2018, the share of the bestrated investments dropped slightly compared to the prior year-end. This is because cash equivalents (unrated) increased somewhat, since not all proceeds from disposals and maturities were reinvested.

As at 30 September 2018, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 376.3 million, representing 34.3% of financial investments (31/12/2017: EUR 396.7 million; 36.6%). The largest single issuer of securities to which the Group is exposed is the Republic of Slovenia. As at 30 September 2018, the exposure to Slovenian issuers totalled EUR 132.6 million, representing 12.1% of financial investments (31/12/2017: EUR 170.0 million; 15.7%). No other corporate issuer exceeded the 2.0% of financial assets threshold.

Based on the above, we estimate that particularly through reducing their exposure to Slovenia and increased diversification by issuer, region and industry, the Sava Re Group companies managed their exposure to credit risk well in 1–9/2018, reducing it compared to year-end 2017.

Credit risk associated with counterparties of which the companies hold receivables as at 30 September 2018 remained flat compared to the balance as at 31 December 2017.

Liquidity risk

In the reporting period, the Company did not change the monitoring or management of liquidity risk. Nor were there any indications of any increase in such risk.

We believe that liquidity risk is low and well managed.

Operational risks

The Group periodically measures operational risks in terms of qualitative assessment of the probability of loss and financial severity of risks listed in the risk register, while the EU-based companies additionally use scenario analysis.

Operational risks are not among the Group's most significant risks. We assess that in the third quarter, the Group's exposure to this category of risk remained at about the level at year-end 2017.

Strategic risks

Strategic risks are by nature very diverse, difficult to quantify and heavily dependent on various (including external) factors. The Group and its members are exposed to a diverse range of internal and external strategic risks.

Strategic risks are assessed qualitatively in the risk register by assessing the probability of loss and the potential financial severity of each event. Additionally, we seek to quantify key strategic risks by analysing diverse scenarios.

In the third quarter, the Group's exposure to strategic risk remained at about the same level as at yearend 2017.

Risk exposure up until year-end 2018

The main risks to which the Group is exposed are underwriting risk followed by market risk. The realisation of underwriting risk is fortuitous and only for certain classes of insurance seasonal. Underwriting risk could realise to a larger extent as a result of a larger number of catastrophic events (in Slovenia and abroad), while the realisation of financial risk could increase owing to unfavourable trends in financial markets.

Unaudited consolidated statement of changes in equity for the nine months to 30 September 2017

7 Notes to the consolidated financial statements

The selected notes to the nine-month financial statements are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group in the first nine months of 2018 as compared to both the first nine months of 2017 and the year-end 2017.

7.1 Overview of major accounting policies

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

In accordance with IAS 34, explanatory notes are provided for events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual financial report, which was prepared for 2017.

The financial statements with notes as at and for the nine months to 30 September 2018 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements as at 30 September 2018 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2017.

7.2 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, also may or are required to be deferred at the year-end.

7.3 Nature and amount of extraordinary items

There were no extraordinary items in terms of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the period 1–9/2018.

7.4 Materiality

Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2% thereof, which is EUR 6.5 million as at 30 September 2018. 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.

7.5 Issuance, repurchase, and repayment of debt and equity securities

The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.

7.6 Key accounting estimates and judgements

In preparing the interim report, the Group complies with the same principles relating to estimates as in the preparation of its annual report.

7.7 Segment reporting

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).

Subject to the nature, scope and organisation of work, CODM (Chief Operating Decision Maker) is a group composed of management board members, executive director of finance, executive director of accounting, executive director of corporate finance and controlling. 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.

Business is broken down by operating segment: reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions and the 'other' segment. Non-life and life business are separately monitored whether sourced in Slovenia or abroad (international); the predominant part of the reinsurance segment is foreign-sourced. 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.

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

Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk fell by EUR 11.1 million compared to the previous year end. This decline mainly relates to the transfer of profits for the financial year 2017, specifically from KSNT1 to the life insurance capital fund (EUR 7.4 million), and maturity benefits paid out.

7.9.5 Receivables

Receivables grew by EUR 14.8 million compared to the balance as at the end of 2017, chiefly due to the annual renewal of insurance contracts with legal entities but also with cedants, and due to the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business. Some effect on the increase in receivables is also derived from the acquisitions finalised in the first quarter.

7.9.7 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by EUR 34.7 million, or 3.7%, compared with 31 December 2017. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (EUR 36.8 million) and relates mainly to the establishment of high unearned premiums for coverages for which the annual premiums were accounted for at the beginning of the year and partly to the growth in non-life insurance business. The gross provision for traditional life policies decreased by 1.8% (or EUR 4.8 million) – as much as the decline due to maturity benefits exceeded growth owing to aging of insureds and the growth in the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including pension annuity business in the distribution phase. Gross claims provisions remained at about the same level (decline of EUR 0.4 million). As part of other gross technical provisions, the provision for unexpired risks increased by EUR 2.9 million on account of some results of new policies that were weaker than expected.

Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 3.8%, or EUR 8.6 million, mainly due to maturity benefits.

The classification into a different level compared with the previous period is the result of the reclassification of debt securities (of EUR 8.8 million) into level 1 owing to the improved reliability of the price source (CBBT15 price) and due to the classification of listed debt securities into level 2. The reclassification of EUR 1.6 million from level 2 into level 3 is the result of changed conditions for the debt security, which is now valued using the internal model.
