Notes:

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

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

In the period 1–3/2018, exchange rate differences in the reinsurance operating segment had a negative effect of EUR 1.4 million on the investment result and a positive effect of EUR 1.5 million on the underwriting result. The total impact in the period 1–3/2018 was a negative one of EUR 0.06 million, and in the period 1–3/2017, there was a negative one of EUR 0.4 million.

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

(EUR million, except percentages) 1–3/2018 2018 plan As % of plan
Consolidated gross premiums written 167.0 > 520.0 32.1%
Net profit or loss for the period 4.6 37.0–39.0 12.5%
Annualised return on equity 7.3% > 11.0%
Net combined ratio, excluding exchange differences 98.8% 94.0–94.5%
Net incurred loss ratio, excluding exchange differences 61.5% 59.4–59.9%
Net expense ratio, excluding exchange differences 35.0% 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.

The profit for the period 1–3/2018 fell short of our target although gross premiums written were better than planned. The net incurred loss ratio was below target because of large international reinsurance claims totalling EUR 2.2 million. The expense ratio was higher than planned mainly because of high acquisition costs incurred in the reinsurance segment relating to increased premiums for proportional reinsurance business, which require higher commission payments. Another impact on the first quarter 2018 result is the change in the timing of posting certain categories, which last year were posted in the second quarter (mainly expenses of the Slovenian non-life segment). We estimate that the expense ratios for individual segments will approach planned figures as early as in the second quarter and that over the next quarters, the claims development will approach the planned level, set based on multiyear averages. We believe that the target 2018 profit will be realised despite the weaker first quarter results.

1.4 Significant events in the three months to 31 March 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 and will continue her career as part of the Sava Re Group.
  • On 31 January 2018, Sava Re satisfied all suspensive condition, 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 internal audit key functions of the companies Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava pokojninska were transferred to Sava Re for an indefinite duration, starting as at 1 February 2018.
  • On 13 March 2018, Sava Re satisfied all suspensive condition, thus becoming the owner of 100% of NLB Nov penziski fond AD Skopje.
  • In March 2018, after obtaining approval from Serbia's central bank and other regulators, Sava Re became the owner of a 92.94% stake in the Serbian-based company Energoprojekt Garant. Following the acquisition of this majority stake and subsequent steps towards attaining sole

ownership, Sava Re intends to merge the target with its existing subsidiary, the Serbian non-life insurer Sava neživotno osiguranje (SRB), and then optimise the subsidiary's capital structure.

1.5 Significant events after the reporting period

  • In April 2018, the Company published the notice of the 34th general meeting of shareholders to be held on Tuesday, 29 May.

SAVA RE GROUP INTERIM BUSINESS REPORT

2 SAVA RE GROUP REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Business is presented broken down by operating segment (reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions, and the 'other' segment) and by geography (Slovenia and international). The 'Slovenia' segment includes figures for the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava (under non-life 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 companies, including the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava. 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 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 assumed 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 1–3/2018, Sava Re allocated 64.7% of other operating expenses to segments as monitored by income structure (1–3/2017: 59.0%).
  • 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 are 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 was 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 was reallocated to the non-life segment, and that of life insurers was reallocated to the life insurance and other segments).

TBS Team 24 was first included in the consolidated accounts on 31 January 2018, the companies Energoprojekt Garant and NLB NPF on 31 March 2018.

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

Consolidated gross profit/loss

Composition of consolidated gross profit

In 1–3/2018, exchange differences had a significant impact on the composition of the result, so below we set out the 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 1.5 million (1–3/2017: EUR 1.0 million negative effect); negative effect on the investment result of EUR 1.4 million (1–3/2017: EUR 0.6 million positive effect). The total positive effect of exchange differences on the result of 1–3/2018 amounted to EUR 0.06 million (1–3/2017: EUR 0.4 million negative effect).

Composition of the gross consolidated result, excluding exchange differences

*The 'other' segment includes TBS Team 24, which was not a member of the Sava Re Group in 1–3/2017.

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 was 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" 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 weaker than in the same period in 2017 as a result of higher expenses and net claims incurred (comments on deviations are provided later in this section). In the period 1–3/2018, the investment result (excluding the effect of exchange differences) remained on approximately the same level year on year.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned; reinsurance business

(EUR) 1–3/2018 1–3/2017 Index
Gross premiums written 30,756,070 30,329,395 101.4
Net premiums written 30,235,944 30,020,719 100.7
Change in net unearned premiums -10,646,130 -13,787,669 77.2
Net earned premiums 19,589,814 16,233,050 120.7

Gross premiums written in this segment were slightly higher in 1–3/2018 than year on year. Proportional reinsurance business grew, while non-proportional reinsurance business shrank compared to the previous year.

In the period 1–3/2017, the change in net unearned premiums was lower than year on year (while higher compared to the end of the previous year). This is due to the increased share of nonproportional reinsurance business in 1–3/2017, the premiums of which are accounted at the time of writing the contract, which is why a large amount of unearned premiums is set aside in the first quarter. The premium composition in 1–3/2018 reflects a minor increase in the share of proportional reinsurance business.

Net claims incurred

Net claims paid 11,931,361 12,056,973 99.0
Change in the net provision for outstanding claims 805,559 -1,588,519 -50.7
Net claims incurred 12,736,920 10,468,454 121.7

Consolidated gross claims paid in this segment were lower in 1–3/2018 than year on year. Consequently, the paid loss ratio improved in the period 1–3/2018 year on year (1–3/2018: 39.3%; 1– 3/2017: 40.1%).

The change in the net provision for outstanding claims in 1–3/2018 (decline) was lower than year on year mainly due to the effect of exchange differences that drove claims provisions down by EUR 1.7 million in 1–3/2018 and up by EUR 0.8 million in 1–3/2017. Excluding exchange differences, net provisions for outstanding claims grew (by EUR 0.8 million) in 1–3/2018 compared to the previous year-end, while in 1–3/2017 these provisions declined (by EUR 1.6 million). The claims provision grew over the 1–3/2018 period mainly as a result of an adverse development in claims (collision of two ships near Shanghai) and reserve strengthening relating to a claim on the facultative reinsurance portfolio (brick melting plant in Congo; EUR 0.6 million).

Excluding exchange differences, the ratio deteriorated by 0.5 percentage points year on year.

Operating expenses

Consolidated operating expenses; reinsurance business

(EUR) 1–3/2018 1–3/2017 Index
Acquisition costs 6,391,535 3,901,230 163.8
Change in deferred acquisition costs (+/-) -690,551 -923,905 74.7
Other operating expenses 932,243 953,311 97.8
Operating expenses 6,633,227 3,930,636 168.8
Reinsurance commission income -131,924 -56,539 33.3
Net operating expenses 6,501,302 3,874,097 167.8

Acquisition costs increased significantly in 1–3/2018 as the result of growing proportional business, which requires higher commission payments (commissions on proportional business increased by 113.3%, or EUR 2.4 million, against a 5.8% increase in non-proportional commission, or EUR 0.09 million). The ratio of acquisition costs to gross premiums written was 20.8% in 1–3/2018.

In the period 1–3/2018, the increase in the level of deferred acquisition costs was smaller than last year, due to slower growth in non-proportional reinsurance business (1–3/2018: growth of 1.0%; 1– 3/2017: growth of 2.4%) and is in line with the movement in unearned premiums.

Other operating expenses dropped by 2.2%, mainly due to lower expenses for intellectual and personal services and IT costs, in particular owing to lower legal expenses in 2018 and the implementation of new software in 2017.

Net investment income

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

The income and expensesitemsinclude income and expenses relating to investment property. These are shown in the income statement under other income/expenses.

The figures for 1–3/2017 differ from the figures published in the 1–3/2017 financial report, as exchange differences for the non-life and life segments were included.

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

In 1–3/2018, net investment income totalled EUR 0.7 million, roughly the same level year on year. The investment return for the period was 1.7%.

2.2 Non-life business

The non-life insurance 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

For Energoprojekt Garant, only the statement of financial position was consolidated in 1–3/2018, and not the income statement (company included in the Group as of 31 March 2018). Hence this company is not included in the remaining part of this section. 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 insurance segment recorded a (EUR 2.0 million) weaker consolidated net result in 1– 3/2018 than in the same period last year. This was the combined effect of a deterioration of EUR 2.9 million in the Slovenian insurance company and an improvement of EUR 0.9 million in non-Slovenian insurers.

The consolidated underwriting result of the Slovenian non-life insurer dropped by EUR 2.5 million as the result of higher net claims incurred and operating expenses. The underwriting performance of non-Slovenian non-life insurers improved by EUR 1.0 million, reflecting primarily higher net earned premiums as well as lower net claims incurred.

The investment result of the Slovenian non-life insurer declined by EUR 0.4 million year on year as a result of lower interest income (lower interest rates in capital markets) and marginally lower other types of income from investments. The investment result of international non-life business remained at the year-on-year level.

Unconsolidated gross non-life premiums of Sava Re Group companies

Gross non-life insurance premiums grew by 7.7% in 1–3/2018 as a result of the growth in gross nonlife premiums of all insurance companies in the Group, except the Macedonian non-life insurer. Slovenian growth of 5.8% was driven primarily by motor business and earlier scheduled underwriting of commercial business than year on year. Motor premium growth with private customers was driven both by a higher number of policies written and the growth in average premiums, as well as by a larger number of policies sold with broader coverages. The Slovenian non-life insurance market grew at a rate of 4.6% in the reporting period.

Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 20.5%. Gross non-life premiums grew in all of the Group's international non-life insurers, except in Macedonia, with the largest growth coming from the Serbian non-life insurer. The Serbian non-life insurer grew gross premiums written across its entire insurance portfolio. The fastest growing classes of insurance were voluntary health, personal accident, and roadside assistance during travel. The Kosovan non-life insurer also achieved premium growth in all classes of insurance in the first quarter of 2018, with the largest absolute growth in health insurance and motor liability insurance. The largest growth in relative terms was in personal accident insurance, albeit from a very low base, as a result of renewals and new business written. The Montenegrin subsidiary generated 15.9% growth in gross premiums written, driven mostly by motor vehicle casco and liability business, but also by large other damage to property policies written for the first time and a significant number of smaller policies and premium growth from existing policyholders. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava produced a more modest 0.8% premium growth following an unplanned shrinkage in its sales network. It achieved the largest absolute growth in motor vehicle casco and miscellaneous financial loss, while the largest absolute decline was seen in motor liability business. The Macedonian insurance company experienced a decline in motor and general liability premiums following the closing of some sales points and non-renewal of certain larger policies.

Net non-life insurance premiums written grew by 10.4% in 1–3/2018.

Because of the dynamics involved in underwriting commercial lines, unearned premiums also grew.

Total net premiums earned grew by 12.0%.

Gross claims paid relating to Slovenian business in the period 1–3/2018 rose primarily as a result of an increase in motor gross claims paid. Other factors contributing to higher gross claims include the storm losses that hit Slovenia in 2017 and larger property claims.

Gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business rose by 8.8%. This increase was the combined effect of increases in the claims of the Kosovan insurer, the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava and the Serbian non-life insurer. The Kosovan insurer produced the largest absolute rise in gross claims in health insurance, owing to an increase in its group health portfolio and larger motor liability claims. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava recorded a rise in claims particularly in motor business as a result of more policies underwritten and faster claims handling in the first two months of 2018 compared to the same period last year. The increased claims of the Serbian non-life insurer were mainly a result of larger claim payments for personal accident insurance, as well as fire and other natural forces. The non-life insurers in Macedonia and Montenegro recorded lower gross claims paid in 1–3/2018 than year on year. The Macedonian insurer made one large claim payment in January 2017, while the Montenegrin insurance company paid out some larger fire and other natural forces claims in March 2017.

Other Group insurers 6,906,342 6,289,122 109.8
Non-insurance Group companies 328,713 311,930 105.4

Consolidated acquisition costs rose by 29.8%, chiefly as a result of a larger premium volume and commissions written and a minor change in the portfolio structure of the Slovenian non-life insurer, and premium growth generated by the Serbian non-life insurer.

The rise in other operating expenses is mainly due to the higher expenses incurred by the Slovenian non-life insurer. The increases in expenses related chiefly to redundancy payments, bonuses, marketing and IT. An additional factor resulting in an upward effect on expenses in the period 1– 3/2018 year on year was the change in the time of posting certain types of expenses that earlier were posted in the second quarter of the year. These effects are estimated to be offset in the second quarter of 2018. The increase in other operating expenses is also the result of higher personnel costs of sales staff of the Serbian non-life insurer in the 1–3/2018 period year on year.

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-life segment rose at Zavarovalnica Sava by 0.8 percentage points year on year as the result of higher policy acquisition costs and lower other operating expenses.

The consolidated gross expense ratio of non-Slovenian non-life companies dropped by 3.8 percentage points due to a 20.5% growth in gross non-life premiums written against a 10.7% increase in acquisition costs with other operating expenses.

Net investment income

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

In 1–3/2018, net investment income relating to the non-life investment portfolio totalled EUR 2.1 million, down EUR 0.4 million year on year. Net investment income was lower, owing largely to lower interest income (EUR 0.3 million). The investment return for the period was 1.7%.

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 under Slovenian life business, while the Croatian part of the company is discussed under international life business. In the financial report for the three months to 31 March 2017, the company Sava pokojninska was included in the life segment. This company has been transferred to the pensions segment since the first quarter of 2018.

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".

Total 21,492,283 23,062,749 93.2

In 1–3/2018, gross premiums written by the Group's life insurers grew year on year. At Zavarovalnica Sava, gross premiums written decreased owing to the large number of policies reaching 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 at double-digit rates across the Group. The largest, 37.0%, growth was achieved by the Serbian insurer Sava životno osiguranje (SRB), which managed to boost the productivity of its sales network, launching four new products in 2018. The growth in gross premiums written also drew on the information system implemented last year for planning and monitoring activities, which also features a key performance indicator system. The same system was set up at the Kosovan life insurer at the end of 2017, where some benefits were already evident in the period 1–3/2018. Another stabilising factor affecting premium income at the Kosovan company is the employment of all agents who in the past worked under contracts for services.

Total 29,682,528 25,649,998 115.7

Gross claims paid in Slovenia grew by 13.9% in 1–3/2018 as a result of a large number of unit-linked policies that matured in January 2018. The bulk of maturity payments in 1–3/2018 related to unitlinked life policies (EUR 16.6 million), while maturity payments for traditional life polices totalled EUR 6.5 million. Maturity payments for traditional and unit-linked life policies rose by EUR 3.4 million and EUR 2.3 million year on year, respectively. The movement in claims needs to be viewed in conjunction with the change in technical provisions.

As is the case 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 238.5%, 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 26.6% rise in gross claims paid. The rise in gross claims paid can be attributed to an increase in death benefits paid and surrenders.

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 296,366 301,913 98.2

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. The increase in personnel costs at the Serbian insurer is attributable to a larger workforce (the average number of employees in the first three months of 2018 increased by 10 year on year), while in the Kosovan insurer, the headcount rose as the result of personnel previously working under contracts for services.

Gross expense ratio; life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio for Slovenian companies rose by 2.3 percentage points as a result of the decline in gross premiums written at Zavarovalnica Sava.

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-Slovenian companies dropped by 0.6 percentage points owing to the increase in gross premiums written.

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 1–3/2017 differ from the figures published in the 1–3/2017 financial report as the table includes data on income, expenses and net investment income of the pension segment.

In 1–3/2018, net investment income relating to the life insurance investment portfolio totalled EUR 2.0 million, down EUR 0.4 million year on year. Net investment income was lower largely as the result of lower interest income (EUR 0.4 million). The investment return for the period was 2.3%.

2.4 Pensions

The pension insurance segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

Sava pokojninska NLB NPF

The company NLB NPF was included in the consolidated accounts only through the statement of financial position in the period 1–3/2018. Therefore, this company is not included in the remaining part of this section (the company was integrated in the Group on 31/03/2018).

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".

Other technical income includes income from entry and exit charges, and management fees relating to the management of the My-life-cycle group of funds and administrative expenses. Other technical income increased by 6.9% in the period 1–3/2018 owing to growth of the group of My-life-cycle funds.

Closing balance of mathematical provisions of funds (31 March) 129,717,487 121,804,083 106.5

Gross fund contributions into the My-life-cycle group of funds increased by 6.2% in the period 1– 3/2018 year on year. This growth was the result of both more policyholders and higher average contributions to the fund.

Gross fund pay-outs from the My-life-cycle group of funds dropped by 13.5% in the period 1–3/2018 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 1–3/2018, the Company transferred assets in the amount of EUR 0.9 million from other pension service providers, while transfers to other providers totalled EUR 0.04 million, which resulted in a positive net effect.

Entry and exit charges relating to the My-life-cycle group of funds increased by 2.4% in the period 1– 3/2018 year on year. This was due to the growth of the group of My-life-cycle long-term business funds.

As at 31 March 2018, the net value of assets managed by the Macedonian pension company totalled EUR 452.5 million, up 2.1% from 31 December 2017.

Gross premiums written relate to the KS MRS fund5 . Until June 2015 inclusive, policyholders had contracts for the KS DPRZ fund6 ; 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 1–3/2018, the gross premiums of the annuity fund rose by 4.8% 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 64.1% over 1–3/2018 year on year. When policyholders become eligible for pension benefits, savings are transferred from their savings accounts to the annuity part, resulting in a rise in annuity fund assets.

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.

In 1–3/2018, net investment income relating to the pensions investment portfolio totalled EUR 0.06 million, down EUR 0.15 million year on year. Net investment income was lower largely as the result of lower interest income (EUR 0.05 million), and the change in the fair value and losses on the disposal of FVPL assets (EUR 0.05 million). The investment return for the period was 1.2%.

3 FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE SAVA RE GROUP

The Sava Re Group investment portfolio

As at 31 March 2018, the Group's investment portfolio totalled EUR 1,078.0 million, a decline of EUR 6.2 million from the year-end 2017 figure. The decline in the investment portfolio is chiefly the result of effects relating to acquisitions (posting of goodwill of EUR 14.0 million; for details, see section 7.8 "Business combinations"). Positive contributions to the investment portfolio came from cash flows from core (re)insurance business, the change in accrued interest and realised gains on disposal of investments.

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

With regard to the composition of the Save Re Group investment portfolio, the most significant shifts were:

the 1.3-percentage-point increase in the share of investments in mutual funds. The increase is largely due to the purchases of ETF7 money market funds of EUR 36.8 million in 1–3/2018;

  • the 1.7-percentage-point drop in the proportion of investments in corporate bonds. The decline in the proportion mainly relates to finance sector bonds;
  • the 1.1-percentage-point increase in the share of cash and cash equivalents. This increase is due to matured financial investments that had not been reinvested by the reporting date;

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

  • government bonds, the percentage share of which decreased by 0.6 percentage points compared to year-end 2017 owing to disposals and maturities;
  • infrastructure funds, which increased by 0.3 percentage points year on year.

The structure of other investments remained broadly unchanged compared to year-end 2017.

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 31 March 2018, funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled EUR 219.7, of which EUR 208.3 million were financial investments and EUR 11.4 million were cash and cash equivalents. The level of funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk fell by EUR 14.7 million compared to the previous year end. The main downward impacting factors consisted in the decrease in the fair value reserve and increased payments for maturity benefits to beneficiaries.

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 31 March 2018, investment contract assets totalled EUR 130.5 million, up 0.7% compared to 31 December 2017. This minor growth was the result of net flows (EUR 1.4 million; inflows of EUR 3.8 million, outflows of EUR 2.4 million), while the change in the fair value reserve was negative, at EUR 0.6 million.

As at 31 March 2018, financial investments accounted for 87.2% of total assets; the remaining amount comprises receivables, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

Just as in the previous category, the movement in investment contract assets depends on new premium contributions, outflows and changes in the unit prices of funds.

3.1.5 Receivables

Receivables increased by 26.4% or EUR 36.6 million compared to year-end 2017 (1–3/2017: increase of 28.8% or EUR 36.7 million). Receivables typically show a significant increase in the first quarter.

All types of receivables rose, with the largest increase in receivables arising out of primary insurance business, which rose by EUR 32.5 million compared to 31 December 2017. The bulk related to notpast-due receivables (EUR 26.8 million) and the rest to receivables due within 90 days. In absolute terms, the largest increase was in the non-life segment in Slovenia (increase of EUR 19.5 million; in 1– 3/2017: increase of EUR 22.8 million) and in the reinsurance segment (increase of EUR 10.8 million; in 1–3/2017: increase of EUR 12.0 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 preparing estimates for reinsurance business.

There were also significant increases in other receivables, of EUR 2.9 million or 37.3%. One reason for this is the integration of TBS Team 24 into the Group, with other receivables of EUR 1.8 million as at 31 March 2018. In addition, there was a rise in other receivables of EUR 1.1 million in the Slovenian non-life segment, chiefly as the result of receivables due from the government for the excess of prepaid corporate income tax over the course of 2017 over and above the actual tax liability for 2017.

3.1.6 Cash and cash equivalents

As at 31 March 2018, cash assets stood at EUR 42.5 million, up 11.7% compared to year-end 2017. This increase in cash and cash equivalents is due to matured financial investments that had not been reinvested by the reporting date.

As at 31 March 2018, cash assets of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled EUR 11.4 million, a EUR 0.9 million increase over 31 December 2017.

3.2.1 Equity

Equity increased by 0.8%, or EUR 2.7 million, compared to year-end 2017.

In 1–3/2018, equity grew by the amount of net profit for the year of EUR 4.6 million and EUR 0.7 million relating to the increase in non-controlling interests in equity following the acquisitions of two companies not wholly owned by Sava Re. The decline in the fair value reserve had a negative impact of EUR 2.6 million on equity.

3.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions are the largest item of liabilities. The figure as at 31 March 2018 was an increase of 4.4%, or EUR 41.4 million, over year-end 2017. The largest increase (EUR 43.9 million) was in gross unearned premiums driven by seasonal movements – the setting of high unearned premiums for coverages for which annual premiums had been accounted at the beginning of the year.

Movements in consolidated gross technical provisions
(EUR) 31/03/2018 31/12/2017 Index
Gross unearned premiums 215,793,687 171,857,259 125.6
Gross mathematical provisions 269,948,654 271,409,915 99.5

Gross technical provisions 972,794,214 931,398,362 104.4

Gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 5.0%, or EUR 7.8 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 10.0 million; 1–3/2017: up EUR 13.2 million), while provisions for outstanding claims dropped by EUR 2.4 million. The decline in provisions of EUR 1.7 million was due to favourable movements in exchange differences.

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life insurance segment increased by 7.0%, or EUR 34.3 million, compared to year-end 2017 due to the above mentioned seasonal movement. Of this, EUR 33.8 million related to growth in unearned premiums (1–3/2017: growth of EUR 28.6 million), while provisions for outstanding claims remained flat compared to year-end 2017.

Gross mathematical provisions decreased by 0.5%, or EUR1.5 million, mainly as a result of maturity benefits.

Other technical provisions (bonuses and discounts, unexpired risks) account for a smaller proportion and grew by a total of EUR 0.6 million.

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

Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 7.5%, or EUR 17.1 million, mainly due to maturity benefits.

3.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

The investment contract liabilities of Sava pokojninska totalled EUR 130.4 million at 31 March 2018, up 0.7%, or EUR 0.9 million, from year-end 2017. They move in line with investment contract assets.

3.2.5 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities from operating activities increased by 17.8%, or EUR 10.8 million, over the year-end 2017 figure (1–3/2017: rise of EUR 12.0 million). There was an increase in liabilities from reinsurance and co-insurance business of EUR 9.5 million as a result of the annual renewal of reinsurance contracts with reinsurance companies and current tax liabilities of EUR 1.4 million.

3.3 Capital structure

As at 31 March 2018, the Sava Re Group held EUR 318.8 million of equity. The Group had no subordinated liabilities as at that date and was thus solely financed through equity.

3.4 Cash flow

In the period 1–3/2018, the Sava Re Group had a negative cash flow from operating activities of EUR 7.9 million (1–3/2017: EUR 2.2 million), as the result of maturity benefits paid for life insurance business.

In the period 1–3/2018, the Sava Re Group recorded a negative cash flow from financing activities of EUR 0.005 million (1–3/2017: negative of EUR 12.6 million). The large amount of negative cash flow from financing activities in 2017 is due to the payment of dividends and early repayment of a part of the subordinated debt.

The net cash flow for the period 1–3/2018 was EUR 15.7 million lower than year on year.

8Credit 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 mainly the result of acquisitions (64.5). The headcount is further affected by streamlining operations following the merger of four of the Group's EU-based insurers.

5 RISK MANAGEMENT

In its operation, the Group companies are exposed to various categories of risk: insolvency risk, underwriting risk, risk 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

For the solvency calculation, the Sava Re Group uses the Solvency II standard formula. The most recent capital adequacy calculation has been carried out as at 31 December 2016. As at that date, the Group was very well capitalised and had a solvency ratio of 204%. We believe that the Group's solvency position as at 31 December 2017 moderately improved since 31 December 2016. Details on the valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's SCR as at 31 December 2017 will be set out in the Sava Re Group Solvency and financial condition report 2017 to be posted on the Sava Re website on 18 June 2018.

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 case of catastrophic losses. A more likely scenario to which the Group is exposed to is the deterioration of the net combined ratio as the 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 0.9 million (31/03/2017: EUR 0.9 million).

The Group's exposure to underwriting risk did not change significantly in the first quarter compared to year-end 2017. Accordingly, the Group's retrocession programme is largely unchanged from year-end 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 31/03/2018 31/12/2017
Zavarovalnica Sava d.d. – ZS Zajamčeni (ZS Guaranteed) 25,042,175 24,414,858
Zavarovalnica Sava d.d. – ZS Garant 1,345,154 1,313,503
Zavarovalnica Sava d.d. ZS Varnost (ZS Security) and ZS Zajamčeni (ZS Guaranteed) 34,579,651 45,805,687
Total financial investments 60,966,980 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 the obligations arising out of investment contracts totalled EUR 130.5 million as at 31 March 2018, up EUR 0.9 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 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 of EUR 1,078 million shrank by EUR 6.2 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 31 March 2018 was EUR 843.4 million (31/12/2017: EUR 882.8 million). Of this, EUR 555.6 million (31/12/2017: EUR 593.9 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and EUR 287.8 million (31/12/2017: EUR 288.9 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life insurance assets was 3.03 years as at 31 March 2018 (31/12/2017: 3.15 years), while the expected maturity of non-life obligations was 3.09 years (31/12/2017: 3.18 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 3.33 years as at 31 March 2018 (31/12/2017: 3.46 years), while the expected duration of life insurance obligations was 4.68 (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 27.0 million as at 31 March 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 19.8 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 2.7 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 17.4 million as at 31 December 2018 (31/12/2017: EUR 15.4 million). A 25% drop in property prices would result in a decline in property investments of EUR 4.3 million (31/12/2017: EUR 3.8 million).

Property risk rose marginally compared to year-end 2017 because of the higher amount of property investments.

Currency risk

The Company monitors the matching of assets and liabilities both by the ALM and the accounting aspects. As at 31 March 2018, the position was 99.1% matched according to the ALM aspect (31/12/2017: 96.5%) and 97.0% matched according to the accounting aspect.

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

Credit risk

As at 31 March 2018, fixed-income investments rated 'A' or better accounted for 72.1% of the total fixed-income portfolio (31/12/2017: 74.2%). In the first quarter of 2018, the share of the best-rated investments remained unchanged from the previous year.

As at 31 March 2018, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 415.4 million, representing 38.5% of financial investments (31/12/2017: EUR 396.7 million; 36.6%). The largest single issuer of securities that the Group is exposed to is the Republic of Slovenia. As at 31 March 2018, the exposure to Slovenian issuers totalled EUR 158.5 million, representing 14.7% of financial investments (31/12/2017: EUR 170.0 million; 15.7%). No other corporate issuer exceeded the 3.2% 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 quarter of 2018, reducing it compared to the year-end 2017.

Credit risk to other counterparties relating to which the companies hold receivables as at 31 March 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 did it notice 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 first quarter, the Group's exposure to this category of risk remained at about the level at year-end 2017.

Strategic risks

Strategic risks are very diverse by nature. They are difficult to quantify and are heavily dependent on diverse (external) factors. The Group and its members are exposed to diverse internal and external strategic risks.

The Group's 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 various scenarios.

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

Risk exposure up until year-end 2018

The main risks that the Group is exposed to are underwriting risks followed by market risks. The realisation of underwriting risks is fortuitous and only for certain classes of insurance seasonal. 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.

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 1–3/2018.

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 31 March 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.

Operating segments include reinsurance business, non-life business, life business, pension business 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 foreignsourced. The 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

In the first quarter of 2018, financial investments shrank by EUR 19.9 million compared to year-end 2017 owing to the maturing of the portion of the investment portfolio that the Group 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 36.6 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 annual reinsurance contracts 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 section 7.9.3 "Financial investments", in the first quarter of 2018, cash in bank accounts and cash equivalents increased compared to year-end 2017, mainly as the result of maturing financial investments that had not been reinvested by the date of this report. Cash and cash equivalent assets increased owing to an increased balance of call deposits.

7.9.6 Net earnings or loss per share

7.9.7 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by EUR 41.4 million, or 4.4%, compared to 31 December 2017. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (EUR 43.9 million) and relates partly 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 0.5% (or EUR 1.5 million). Downward pressures on provisions were due to numerous maturity benefits and surrender payments (EUR 7.9 million), while provisions were strengthened on account of the portfolio's aging and to a minor extent on account of new traditional life policies written, including pension annuity business during the distribution phase. Gross provisions for outstanding claims decreased by 0.4% (EUR 1.7 million), with uses relating to claim payments setting off increases resulting from new claims and portfolios, and positive effects from exchange differences. Gross mathematical provisions associated with unit-linked life business deceased by 7.5%, or EUR 17.1 million, mainly due to maturity benefits. Other technical provisions (bonuses and discounts, unexpired risks, diverse other) account for a smaller proportion and grew in total by EUR 0.6 million.

7.9.8 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities increased by EUR 10.8 million compared to the balance as at the end of 2017, chiefly due to the annual renewal of reinsurance treaties resulting in increased liabilities for reinsurance and coinsurance premiums, but also due to the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business.
