Notes:

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

Net investment income of the investment portfolio for 1–6/2017 differs from the data published in the financial report for the six months to 30 June 2017 because investment property income and expenses have been taken to other income and expenses.

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.

The consolidated annualised return on equity was calculated under the assumption that no catastrophic event will occur in the second half of 2018.

The Group's unaudited solvency ratio as at 31 March 2018 stood at 212% (calculated using the Group's solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2017 and eligible own funds as at 31 March 2018).

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

(EUR million) 1–6/2018 2018 plan As % of plan
Consolidated gross premiums written 308.6 > 520.0 59.4%
Net profit or loss for the period 14.2 37.0-39.0 38.3%
Annualised return on equity 9.9% > 11.0%
Net combined ratio, excluding exchange differences 97.1% 94.0-94.5%
Net incurred loss ratio, excluding exchange differences 61.1% 59.4-59.9%
Net expense ratio, excluding exchange differences 33.0% 31.4-31.7%
Annualised return on the investment portfolio, excluding
exchange differences
1.9% 1.7%

*The net combined and the 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 1–6/2018, the Sava Re Group achieved a net profit of EUR 14.2 million, down 17.2% year on year. The decline is due to major loss events in the first half of the year. Gross premiums written account for 59.4% of the full year plan, up 3.7% year on year. The net incurred loss ratio was slightly short of the full 2018 target ratio owing to the hail storm event in south-east Slovenia. This loss event had a EUR 4.6 million negative impact on the 1–6/2018 result. The net expense ratio for 1–6/2018 was higher than 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 lost business through maturities. We estimate that expense ratios for segments will decline to planned levels by the end of the year and that in the second half of the year, claim trends will approach planned levels that are based on multi-year averages. We estimate that the profit planned for 2018 is still achievable despite the weaker first half year result, provided no major losses are incurred in the second half of the year. A positive effect is expected in the second half year from the inclusion of newly acquired companies into the consolidated statements since these companies were not included throughout the first half of the year.

1.4 Significant events in the six months to 30 June 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 duration, starting as at 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.

The subsidiary Zavarovalnica Sava, who has a relatively high 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 4.6 million impact on the 1–6/2018 result.

SAVA RE GROUP INTERIM BUSINESS REPORT

2 SAVA RE GROUP REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Business is presented by operating segments: 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 'Slovenia' segment includes figures for the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava (under nonlife and life) and for the companies ZS Svetovanje and Ornatus KC (under life).
  • The 'international' segment covers the operations of the other subsidiaries, both insurance and non-insurance operations, including the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava.
  • The 'pensions' segment comprises the data of the Slovenian and Macedonian pension companies.
  • The 'other' segment comprises data of the company TBS Team 24.
  • The reinsurance segment is not broken down geographically, as after the elimination of transactions with subsidiaries, the majority of the remaining transactions relate to Sava Re's business in global reinsurance markets.

In addition to this 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 are reallocated 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 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 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 catastrophe 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 1–6/2018, Sava Re allocated 64.4% of other operating expenses to segments as monitored by income composition (1–6/2017: 61.5%). 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 (1–6/2018: EUR 0.7 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 insurance and life insurance 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 related to).
  • The balance of financial investments is reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life insurance and life insurance 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, the companies Energoprojekt Garant and Sava penzisko društvo on 31 March 2018.

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

Consolidated gross profit or loss

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement

In 1–6/2017, 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 0.09 million (1–6/2017: EUR 3.7 million positive effect); negative effect on the investment result of EUR 0.13 million (1–6/2017: EUR 3.4 million negative effect). The net effect of exchange differences on the result of 1–6/2018 amounted to a negative effect of EUR 0.04 million (1–6/2017: EUR 0.3 million positive effect).

*The 'other' segment includes TBS Team 24, which was not a member of the Sava Re Group in 1–6/2017.

2.1 Reinsurance business

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 stronger compared with the same period in 2017 primarily as a result of higher premium income (notes on deviations are provided later in this section). The investment result, excluding exchange differences, for the period 1–6/2017 was also better compared with the same period last year thanks to stronger investment income (up EUR 0.2 million) and lower interest expenses (down EUR 0.7 million).

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned; reinsurance business

(EUR) 1–6/2018 1–6/2017 Index

Net premiums written 51,829,862 56,007,628 92.5
Change in net unearned premiums -9,776,140 -15,459,665 63.2
Net earned premiums 42,053,722 40,547,963 103.7

Net premiums earned in the period 1–6/2018 increased by 3.7% year on year, while gross reinsurance premiums written in 1–6/2018 were weaker compared to the same period last year. There was a decline in both proportional and non-proportional reinsurance premiums. Business from Russia and Turkey saw the largest declines in premiums, while China, Austria and Norway recorded increases, primarily due to organic growth and increased shares on renewed treaties.

The change in net unearned premiums was lower than year on year, as in the previous year the share of non-proportional reinsurance business increased and, together with the premiums accounted at the time of writing the contract, a high amount of unearned premiums was set aside. In the first half of 2018, by contrast, non-proportional reinsurance premiums declined, which resulted in a lower change in unearned premiums. The decline was also partly due to the smaller volume of business in 1–6/2018.

Net claims incurred 25,807,470 25,619,036 100.7

In 1–6/2018, net claims incurred rose by 15.9% but this increase is the result of the considerable impact of exchange differences in the first half of 2017 (1–6/2018: EUR 0.2 million; 1–6/2017: EUR 3.5 million). Excluding exchange differences, incurred claims are roughly at the year-on-year level. The net incurred loss ratio of 61.6% is indeed better than year on year (1–6/2017: 64.6%).

Consolidated gross claims paid in this segment were lower in 1–6/2018 than year on year. Consequently, the paid loss ratio also improved slightly in the period of 1–6/2018 year on year (1– 6/2018: 42.1%; 1–6/2017: 42.4%).

Acquisition costs dropped marginally in 1–6/2018, reflecting a 7.1% decline in gross premiums written, with a minor increase in the share of acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written in the period to 21.7% (1–6/2017: 20.9%).

In 1–6/2018, 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 increased by 1.0%, mostly due to costs related to policy acquisition.

In 1–6/2018, the net expense ratio deteriorated by 2.6 percentage points as a result of higher acquisition costs, including the change in deferred acquisition costs.

Net investment income

Income/expenses include income/expenses relating to investment property. These are shown in the income statement under other income/expenses.

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 the net investment income of the investment portfolio, excluding exchange differences.

In 1–6/2018, net investment income totalled EUR 1.8 million, up EUR 0.4 million year on year. Net investment income grew thanks to a rise in other income, including income from investment property (up EUR 0.2 million), and lower interest expenses (down EUR 0.7 million). These factors more than offset the lost net investment income from lower realised net gains (down EUR 0.2 million) and lower interest income (down EUR 0.1 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 5.5 million) weaker consolidated net result in 1–6/2018 compared with the same period last year. This was the combined effect of a deterioration of EUR 5.9 million in the Slovenian insurance company and an improvement of EUR 0.4 million in non-Slovenian insurers.

The consolidated underwriting result of the Slovenian non-life insurer dropped by EUR 5.2 million as a result of higher net claims incurred (hail storm in south-east Slovenia, rise in motor claims) and operating expenses. The underwriting performance of non-Slovenian non-life insurers improved by EUR 0.1 million, reflecting primarily higher net earned premiums.

The investment result of the Slovenian non-life insurer declined by EUR 0.3 million year on year as a result of lower interest income (lower interest rates in capital markets). The investment result of international non-life companies improved by EUR 0.2 million, driven by higher gains on the disposal of securities.

Unconsolidated gross non-life premiums of Sava Re Group companies

Gross non-life insurance premiums grew by 8.7% in 1–6/2018 as a result of the growth in gross nonlife premiums of all insurance companies in the Group. Slovenia recorded a 7.3% 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 the growth in average premiums. The Slovenian non-life insurance market grew at a rate of 5.7% in the period.

Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 16.0%. 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 the first half of 2018, with the largest absolute growth in health insurance, driven by a larger number of active policies and motor liability insurance. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava grew by 9.1%. It achieved the largest absolute growth in motor vehicles casco and in motor liability business. The Montenegrin subsidiary generated a 2.2% growth in gross premiums written, driven mostly by motor vehicles casco and motor liability 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 17.5% in 1–6/2018.

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 7.3%.

Gross claims paid for Slovenian business in the period 1–6/2018 rose primarily as a result of increased gross motor claims paid. Other factors contributing to higher gross claims include storm losses and larger property insurance claims.

Gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business rose by 19.0%. This increase was driven by higher gross claims paid of all international non-life insurers, except the Macedonian non-life insurer. Gross claims paid of the Kosovan non-life insurer rose, reflecting higher claims in health insurance and motor liability as the result of higher loss frequency and higher claim amounts. The increased claims of the Serbian non-life insurer were mainly the result of larger claim payments relating to personal accident and motor liability business. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava saw an increase in gross claims paid primarily in motor business driven by a larger number of policies. The Montenegrin non-life insurer, by contrast, faced a high motor liability claim, which increased gross claims paid. The Macedonian non-life insurer recorded lower gross claims paid in 1–6/2018 than year on year. This is related to a large claim settled in January 2017.

In 1–6/2018, the change in the net provision for outstanding claims of the Slovenian non-life insurer was 68.6% lower than year on year. The growth in the technical provisions of the Slovenian insurer of EUR 4.1 million was the result of the hail storm in south-east Slovenia on 8 June, while the year-onyear decline in the change in the net provision for outstanding claims was mainly the result of 2017 claim payments out of provisions relating to a 2016 hail storm event.

In 1–6/2018, the change in the net provision for outstanding claims of the international non-life insurers was 20.7% lower than year on year. This was mainly due to the decline in the net provisions for outstanding claims of the Kosovan and Montenegrin non-life insurers. In both cases, the reason is a large claim for which provisions had been set aside and which had been settled.

Other Group insurers 14,427,557 12,972,349 111.2
Non-insurance Group companies 697,208 652,348 106.9

Consolidated acquisition costs rose by 22.8%, chiefly owing to larger premium volumes and premium growth in classes of insurance for which higher acquisition costs are typically incurred and which are still in line with target combined ratios, and owing to premium growth in the Serbian non-life insurer.

The rise in other operating expenses is mainly due to the higher expenses incurred by the Slovenian and Serbian non-life insurers. The Serbian non-life insurer incurred higher personnel costs of sales staff and higher maintenance costs related to renovation works, while the expenses of the Slovenian nonlife insurer rose as the result of the schedule of marketing expenses and increased IT expenses.

Gross expense ratio; non-life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio relating to the non-life insurance segment remained flat year on year.

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 1.7 percentage points due to a 16.0% growth in gross non-life premiums written against a 11.4% increase in acquisition costs plus other operating expenses.

Net investment income

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (EUR); non-life segment

In 1–6/2018, net investment income relating to the non-life insurance portfolio amounted to EUR 4.7 million, broadly on the same level as year on year. The return on investment for the period was 1.8%.

2.3 Life business

The life segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

  • Zavarovalnica Sava, life business
  • Sava životno osiguranje (SRB)
  • Illyria Life
  • ZM Svetovanje
  • Ornatus KC

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 1–6/2017, 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. The tables below do not include Sava pokojninska and are thus comparable.

Total 42,669,882 44,888,821 95.1

In 1–6/2018, gross premiums written by the Group's life insurers grew year on year. In 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, it could not fully offset premiums lost on account of maturities, deaths and surrenders.

Non-Slovenian gross premiums written grew in Illyria Life and Sava životno osiguranje (SRB), both generating double-digit growth rates. The largest, 37.6%, 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 is also affected by the information system implemented last year for planning and monitoring activities, and also featuring a key performance indicator system. The same system was set up in the Kosovan life insurer at the end of 2017, where some benefits already showed in 1–6/2018. Another factor benefitting growth in gross premiums written was the stabilisation of the sales network.

The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava, by contrast, saw a decline in gross premiums written as the result of a large number of policies reaching maturity in early 2018. The Croatian branch also increased sales of new products; however, these writings failed to compensate for the lost income relating to maturities.

Total 45,694,595 38,834,536 117.7

Gross claims paid in Slovenia grew by 16.0% in 1–6/2018 as the result of a large number of unit-linked policies that matured in 2018. The lion's share of maturities in 1–6/2018 related to unit-linked life insurance where policyholders bear the investment risk (EUR 20.4 million), while maturities of traditional life policies totalled EUR 12.2 million. Compared to the previous year, total maturities relating to traditional life policies increased by EUR 6.3 million; maturities of unit-linked life policies grew by EUR 5.6 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 rise in gross claims paid in non-Slovenian insurers is the large number of maturities in the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava. At Zavarovalnica Sava, claims increased by 212.6% with the entire increase relating to maturities. However, this has no effect on the proportion of pay-outs at the Group level. Gross claims also increased in other life insurers: in Kosovo only marginally, while the Serbian life insurer Sava životno osiguranje (SRB) reported a 13.8% rise in gross claims paid. The reason for this rise in gross claims paid is an increase in death benefits paid.

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

Non-insurance Group companies 551,371 426,202 129.4

Acquisition costs rose as a 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, while 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 (the average number of employees in the first half of 2018 rose by 10 year on year), while at the Kosovan insurer, personnel costs rose following the employment of agents.

Costs also increased in the Group's non-insurance companies as ZS svetovanje expanded its operations, which resulted in higher operating expenses, specifically personnel costs.

Gross expense ratio; life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio rose in Slovenian companies by 1.8 percentage points as a result of the 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.

In international companies, the consolidated gross expense ratio increased by 2.7 percentage points as costs outpaced premium growth, mainly owing to increased sales of new products.

Net investment income

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (EUR); life business, excluding life business of policyholders who bear the investment risk

The figures for 1–6/2017 differ from those published in the 1–6/2017 financial report, as income also included management fee income of the unit-linked life liability fund.

In 1–6/2018, net investment income relating to the life insurance investment portfolio totalled EUR 3.6 million, down EUR 0.7 million year on year. Net investment income was lower largely because of lower interest income (EUR 0.6 million). The return on investment for the period was 2.1%.

2.4 Pension business

The pensions segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

  • Sava pokojninska
  • Sava penzisko društvo

Sava penzisko društvo was included in the consolidated financial statements on 31 March 2018.

Gross fund pay-outs from the My-life-cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension insurer dropped by 3.3% in the period 1–6/2018 year on year. Gross pay-outs may include both regular and extraordinary pay-outs. The major part of the latter related to exits.

In the period 1–6/2018, the Company transferred assets in the amount of EUR 0.9 million from other pension service providers, while transfers to other providers totalled EUR 0.5 million, which resulted in a positive net effect.

Entry and exit charges relating to the My-life-cycle group of funds increased by 1.1% in the period 1– 6/2018 year on year. This was due to the growth of the group of My-life-cycle long-term business funds.

Net investment income of the fund 12,851,430
Entry and exit charges 346,534
Net assets under management as at 30 June 2018 478,240,824

In 4–6/2018, gross inflows into the mandatory and voluntary funds of the Macedonian pension company totalled EUR 13.8 million, while gross pay-outs were EUR 0.1 million. In 4–6/2018, the net investment income of the funds totalled EUR 12.9 million; the net assets under management totalled EUR 478.2 million as at 30 June 2018, up 7.9% compared with 31 December 2017.

The amount of assets under management is not disclosed in the statement of financial position because the Macedonian company acts only in the capacity of asset manager.

Pension annuities – distribution phase

(EUR) 1–6/2018 1–6/2017 Index
Gross premiums written 1,399,659 1,228,837 113.9
Gross claims paid 328,755 203,357 161.7
Change in other net technical provisions (+/-) -1,066,318 -1,126,434 94.7

Gross premiums written relate to the KS MRS fund7 . Until June 2015 inclusive, policyholders had contracts for the KS DPRZ fund8 ; 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 1–6/2018, the gross premiums of the annuity fund rose by 13.9% 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 61.7% over 1–6/2018 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.

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

In 1–6/2018, net investment income relating to the investment portfolio of pension companies totalled EUR 0.06 million, down EUR 0.18 million year on year. The net investment income was lower largely because of lower interest income (EUR 0.02 million) and realised gains (EUR 0.04 million). Compared to the same period last year, expenses rose by EUR 0.7 million as the result of the adjustment of the level of liabilities relating to annuity contracts. The return on investment for the period was 0.6%.

3 FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE SAVA RE GROUP

As at 30 June 2018, total assets of the Sava Re Group stood at EUR 1,755.8 million, an increase of 2.8% over year-end 2017. Below we set out items of assets and liabilities in excess of 5% of total assets as at 30 June 2018 and items that changed by more than 2% of equity.

3.1.2 Investment portfolio

The investment portfolio consists of the following statement of financial position items: financial investments, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

Investment contract assets 132,598,319 129,622,131 2,976,188 102.3

As at 30 June 2018, the Group's investment portfolio totalled EUR 1,089.7 million, an increase of EUR 5.5 million from the year-end 2017 figure. Positive contributions to the investment portfolio came from core (re)insurance cash flows, the change in accrued interest, realised gains on the disposal of investments and dividend income from financial investments. Invested assets declined following the acquisitions in the first quarter (for more details see section 7.8 'Business combinations').

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

*The 'other' item includes deposits with cedants and loans granted.

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

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

  • 3.3-percentage-point drop in the proportion of investments in corporate bonds;
  • 2.7-percentage-point increase in the share of investments in mutual funds. This increase is largely the result of acquired bond and ETF9 money market funds;
  • 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 54.2 million (0.6 percentage point decline in the proportion of fixed-income investments);
  • lower exposure to corporate and covered bonds of EUR 11.1 million with the amount of covered bonds declining by EUR 14.1 million (1.2 percentage point decline in their proportion of fixedincome investments);
  • increase in cash and cash equivalents of EUR 27.5 million (1.1 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 June 2018, funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled EUR 217.9, of which EUR 211.3 million were financial investments and EUR 6.6 million were cash and cash equivalents. The level of funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk fell by EUR 16.6 million compared to the previous year end. The chief downward factor is the negative cash flow from core business due to life policy maturities.

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 June 2018, investment contract assets totalled EUR 132.6 million, up 2.3% compared to 31 December 2017. Investment contract assets increased mainly due to new net premiums written (EUR 2.4 million; in the period, there were inflows of EUR 6.5 million and outflows of EUR 4.0 million) and a positive change in the fair value reserve (EUR 0.5 million).

As at 30 June 2018, financial investments accounted for 86.1% of total assets; the remaining amount comprises receivables, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

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

Like the previous category, the movement in investment contract liabilities depends on new contributions, outflows and movements in unit prices of funds.

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

3.1.5 Receivables

Receivables increased by 25.1% or EUR 34.8 million compared to year-end 2017 (1–6/2017: increase of 25.9% or EUR 32.9 million). Receivables typically show a significant increase in the first half of the year.

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 31.1 million, or 25.0%, compared with 31 December 2017; however, the lion's share of this increase relates to not-past-due receivables (EUR 28.1 million). In absolute terms, the largest increase was in the non-life segment in Slovenia (increase of EUR 19.0 million; in 1–6/2017: increase of EUR 14.3 million) and in the reinsurance segment (increase of EUR 8.9 million; in 1–6/2017: increase of EUR 11.7 million). The reason for the increase in the Slovenian 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 3.4 million or 42.5%. One reason for the increase is the rise in other receivables of Sava Re of EUR 2.2 million, largely relating to receivables associated with securities (EUR 1.6 million). Another reason is the Group's integration of TBS Team 24, which held operating receivables of EUR 1.4 million as at 30 June 2018.

3.2.1 Equity

Equity dropped by 0.3%, or EUR 0.9 million, compared to year-end 2017.

In 1–6/2018, equity grew by the amount of net profit for the year of EUR 14.2 million and EUR 0.04 million relating to the increase in non-controlling interests in equity following the acquisitions of two companies not wholly owned by Sava Re. On the other hand, capital decreased by EUR 12.6 million, reflecting dividend payments, and by EUR 2.6 million due to the decline in the fair value reserve.

3.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions are the largest item under liabilities. The figure as at 30 June 2018 was an increase of 6.2%, or EUR 57.9 million, over year-end 2017. The largest increase (EUR 52.7 million) was in gross unearned premiums driven by seasonal movements – setting of high unearned premiums for coverages for which annual premiums had been accounted for at the beginning of the year.

Movements in consolidated gross technical provisions

(EUR) 30/06/2018 31/12/2017 Index
Gross unearned premiums 224,560,911 171,857,259 130.7
Gross mathematical provisions 268,775,671 271,409,915 99.0

Gross technical provisions 989,320,174 931,398,362 106.2

The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 7.3%, or EUR 11.3 million, compared to year-end 2017. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as a result of the annual dynamics of underwriting reinsurance business (up EUR 8.7 million; 1–6/2017: up EUR 14.5 million), while provisions for outstanding claims rose by EUR 2.5 million.

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life insurance segment increased by 9.9%, or EUR 48.2 million, compared to year-end 2017 due to seasonal movements. Of this, EUR 43.9 million related to the growth in unearned premiums (1–6/2017: growth of EUR 37.0 million), while provisions for outstanding claims increased by EUR 4.0 million compared to year-end 2017.

Gross mathematical provisions decreased by 1.0%, or EUR 2.7 million, mainly as a result of maturity benefits.

Other technical provisions (provision for bonuses, rebates and cancellations, and other provisions) account for a smaller proportion and grew in total by EUR 0.5 million.

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

Gross provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 5.7%, or EUR 12.9 million, mainly due to maturity benefits paid.

3.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

The investment contract liabilities of Sava pokojninska totalled EUR 132.5 million at 30 June 2018, up 2.3%, or EUR 3.0 million, from year-end 2017. They move in line with investment contract assets.

3.3 Capital structure

As at 30 June 2018, the Sava Re Group held EUR 315.2 million of equity, with no subordinated debt. It was exclusively financed from equity.

3.4 Cash flow

In the period 1–6/2018, the Sava Re Group had a positive cash flow from operating activities of EUR 0.1 million (1–6/2017: EUR 20.9 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 1–6/2018, the Sava Re Group had a negative cash flow from financing of EUR 12.5 million (mostly relating to dividend payments), while in 1–6/2017, it had a negative cash flow of EUR 37.2 million, which comprised both dividend payments and the repayment of part of its subordinated debt.

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents for the period 1–6/2018 was larger by EUR 20.2 million, which is chiefly the result of a tactical decision of the investment portfolio asset managers to reinvest assets at the reporting date due to market conditions.

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 Rating10 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 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.

10Credit 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).

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 fluctuations in the agency network. The increased headcount is also the result of acquisitions (69.5). The headcount is further affected by streamlining operations following the merger of four of the Group's EU-based insurers (- 34.0).

5 RISK MANAGEMENT

In its 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. As at 31 December 2017, 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 at the Sava Re website.

The Group's eligible own funds as at 31 March 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. The Group's solvency ratio as at 31 March 2018 stood at 212% (calculated using the Group's solvency capital requirement as at 31 December 2017 and eligible own funds as at 31 March 2018). The risk to the Group's capital adequacy is very small.

Underwriting risk

The Group's subsidiaries assume risks from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risks to Sava Re. The controlling company assumes such risks also 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. If the Group's net combined ratio increased/decreased by 1 percentage point, its profit before tax would decrease/increase by EUR 2.0 million (30/06/2017: EUR 1.8 million).

The Group's exposure to underwriting risk did not change significantly in the second 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 the risk of failing to achieve the guaranteed return and market risks are born by the insurer.

Financial investments covering life insurance liabilities with guaranteed NAV 30/06/2018 31/12/2017
Zavarovalnica Sava d.d. – ZS Zajamčeni (ZS Guaranteed) 25,836,441 24,414,858
Zavarovalnica Sava d.d. – ZS Garant 1,397,757 1,313,503
Zavarovalnica Sava d.d. – ZS Varnost (ZS Security) and ZS Zajamčeni (ZS Guaranteed) 35,392,770 45,805,687
Total financial investments 62,626,968 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 132.6 million as at 30 June 2018, up EUR 3.0 million compared with 31 December 2017.

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

Financial risks

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

Market risk

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk as at 30 June 2018 of EUR 1,089.7 million shrank by EUR 5.5 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 June 2018 was EUR 849.0 million (31/12/2017: EUR 882.8 million). Of this, EUR 557.7 million (31/12/2017: EUR 593.9 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and EUR 291.2 million (31/12/2017: EUR 288.9 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life insurance assets was 2.92 years as at 30 June 2018 (31/12/2017: 3.15 years), while the expected maturity of non-life obligations was 3.04 years (31/12/2017: 3.18 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 3.59 years as at 30 June 2018 (31/12/2017: 3.46 years), while the expected duration of life insurance obligations was 4.92 (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 25.9 million as at 30 June 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 19.8 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 2.5 million (31/12/2017: EUR 2.3 million).

The risk increased marginally compared to year-end 2017.

Property risk

The value of investments that the Company includes in the property risk calculation totalled EUR 17.5 million as at 31 June 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 15.4 million). A 25% drop in property prices would result in a decline in property investments of EUR 4.4 million (31/12/2017: EUR 3.8 million).

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

Currency risk

The Company monitors the matching of assets and liabilities both by the ALM and accounting aspect. As at 30 June 2018, the position was 99.0% matched according to the ALM aspect (31/12/2017: 98.8%) and 96.2% 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 June 2018, fixed-income investments rated 'A' or better accounted for 68.8% of the total fixedincome portfolio (31/12/2017: 74.2%). In the first half of 2018, the share of the best rated 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 June 2018, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 370.6 million, representing 34.0% 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 June 2018, the exposure to Slovenian issuerstotalled EUR 132.1 million, representing 12.1% of financial investments (31/12/2017: EUR 170.0 million; 15.7%). No other corporate issuer exceeded the 2.4% 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 the first half of 2018, reducing it compared to year-end 2017.

Credit risk associated with counterparties of which the companies hold receivables as at 30 June 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 an 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 second 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 their nature very diverse, are difficult to quantify, and are heavily dependent on diverse (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 second quarter, the Group's exposure to strategic risk remained at about the same level as at year-end 2017.

Risk exposure up until year-end 2018

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

7 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The selected notes to the financial statements for the six months to 30 June are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group in the first six months of 2018 as compared to both the first six 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 six months to 30 June 2018 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements as at 30 June 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, may or is required to be deferred also 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 1–6/2018.

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 6.3 million as at 30 June 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.

7.9.3 Financial investments

At the end of the first half of 2018, financial investments shrank by EUR 24.2 million compared with year-end 2017 owing to the maturing of the portion of the investment portfolio that the Group partly records as an increase in cash and cash equivalents. Another reason is the reinvestment of the portion of matured financial investments into the finalised acquisition of companies that joined the Sava Re Group in the first quarter of 2018.

7.9.4 Receivables

Receivables grew by EUR 34.7 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.

As explained in the disclosure in section 7.9.3 'Financial investments', in the first half of 2018, cash in bank accounts and cash equivalents increased compared to year-end 2017, mainly as a result maturing financial investments that had not been reinvested by the report date.

7.9.6 Net earnings or loss per share

The weighted average number of shares outstanding in the financial period was 15,497,696. As at 30 June 2018, the controlling company owned 1,721,966 own shares, which are excluded when calculating the weighted average number of shares.

7.9.7 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by EUR 57.9 million, or 6.2%, compared with 31 December 2017. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (EUR 52.7 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 1.0% (or EUR 2.6 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 during the distribution phase. The gross provision for outstanding claims increased by 1.5% or (EUR 7.3 million), chiefly because of new claims and portfolio growth. Other technical provisions (bonuses and discounts, unexpired risks, diverse other) account for a smaller proportion and grew in total by EUR 0.5 million.

Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 5.7%, or EUR 12.9 million, mainly due to maturity benefits.
