Notes:

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

The return on the investment portfolio for 1–3/2018 differs from the figure published in the 1–3/2018 financial report as the latter did not include depreciation charges relating to investment property equipment.

Net investment income of the investment portfolio does not include net investment income from assets pertaining to policyholders who bear the investment risk because 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 table below compares actual figures against figures planned for the full year 2019:

(EUR million) 1–3/2019 2019 plan As % of plan
Sava Insurance Group
Operating revenues 130.6 > 535 24.4%
Profit or loss, net of tax 10.9 ≥ 43.0 25.4%
Annualised return on equity 12.2% > 12%
Investment return, excluding the effect of exchange
differences
1.8% 1.7%
(Re)insurance part (+ annuities)
Gross premiums written 171.6 > 555 30.9%
Net premiums earned 123.2 > 515 23.9%
Net expense ratio (reins. + non-life + life) 32.4% 32.4-33.0%
Net incurred loss ratio, excluding the effect of exchange
differences (reins. + non-life)
58.6% 59.2–59.7%
Net combined ratio, excluding the effect of exchange
differences (reins. + non-life)
93.0% 93.6–94.1%

Since exchange differences were not factored into the plan, the table shows ratios excluding the effect of exchange differences.

In the period 1–3/2019, the Sava Insurance Group achieved a net profit of EUR 10.9 million, which is 25.4% of the lower value of the planned range for the full year 2019 and a 135.7% increase year on year. The net combined ratio is also within the target range. The strong net profit figure reflects improved technical performance of the reinsurance and Slovenian non-life segments as the result of a smaller volume of large losses year on year and a favourable expense ratio. Operating revenues of the Sava Insurance Group account for 24.4% of the full-year target income, and we estimate that the fullyear 2019 target will be achieved by the year end. All major (re)insurance ratios were favourable after the first quarter of the year, and we estimate that year-end target ratios will be achieved.

Sava Insurance Group interim business report

2 Review of operations and financial result of the Sava Insurance Group5

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

The following companies are included in the operating segments:

  • reinsurance business: Sava Re, 30% of Sava Terra;
  • non-life business, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (Slovenian part), 70% of Sava Terra;
  • non-life business, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (Croatian part), Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia), Illyria, Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro), Sava Osiguruvanje (North Macedonia), ERGO Osiguranje, Illyria Hospital, Sava Car, Sava Agent, Sava Station;
  • life business, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (Slovenian part), ZS Svetovanje, Ornatus KC;
  • life business, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (Croatian part), Sava Životno Osiguranje (Serbia), Illyria Life, ERGO Životno Osiguranje
  • pensions: Sava Pokojninska, Sava Penzisko Društvo;
  • other: TBS Team 24, ZTSR (equity method), G2I (equity method).

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

  • Reallocations are made from the reinsurance segment to the other segments (Sava Re as the parent company handles the reinsurance of most risks of the subsidiaries within the Sava Insurance Group): in the segment reporting information, reinsurance premiums received by the reinsurer from the subsidiaries are reallocated to the segments from where they arose. The same applies, by analogy, to reinsurance-related claims, commission income, change in unearned premiums, claims provisions and deferred acquisition costs due to reinsurance. In the elimination process, the portions of business retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers is not allocated to the segments. Retrocession-related expenses usually exceed income (except in the case of catastrophic claims). In order to provide a more appropriate presentation of profitability by segment, the result of retroceded business is also allocated to the segment where it arose. All these items are adjusted only in the part relating to the risks of subsidiaries retroceded by Sava Re to foreign reinsurers.
  • Other operating expenses relating to the reinsurance segment are reduced by the portion of expenses attributable to the administration of the Sava Insurance Group. Sava Re operates as a virtual holding company; hence, a part of its expenses relates to the administration of the Group. Such expenses relating to the reinsurance segment are allocated to other segments based on gross premiums written. Such reallocation is made also for other operating expenses relating to intra-group reinsurance transactions. In the period 1–3/2019, Sava Re allocated 64.7% of other operating expenses to segments as monitored by income composition (1–3/2018: 64.7%). Furthermore, operating expenses of TBS Team 24 incurred by the company relating to its business with other Group companies were allocated to the Slovenian non-life operating segment (1–3/2019: EUR 1.8 million, 1–3/2018: EUR 0.2 million). In the same way, income is eliminated in the consolidation process.
  • Investment income and expenses are reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life insurance segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters).

5 A glossary of selected insurance terms and calculation methods for ratios is appended to this report.

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 arose (reallocated from the reinsurance segment to other segments depending on which subsidiary it relates to).
  • The balance of financial investments is reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life and life segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average of past four quarters).
  • The reinsurers' share of technical provisions (reinsurers' share of unearned premiums, claims provisions and other provisions) and deferred acquisition costs – in the same way as described in indent one of adjustments to income statement items.
  • Equity is reallocated from the reinsurance segment to other segments based on the cost of investments in subsidiaries (the sum total of carrying amounts of non-life insurers is reallocated to the non-life segment, and that of life insurers is reallocated to the life insurance and other segments).

TBS Team 24 was first included in the Sava Insurance Group consolidated financial statements on 31 January 2018, and the companies Energoprojekt Garant and Sava Penzisko Društvo on 31 March 2018. Energoprojekt Garant was merged with Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia) at year-end 2018. The acquisition of Sava Terra was completed in the third quarter of 2018. The Group became the sole owner of the company. The first consolidated accounts of the Sava Insurance Group after Sava Terra joined were prepared as at 31 December 2018. The companies ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje joined the Sava Insurance Group on 31 March 2019, as the result of which they have been included in the consolidated income statement since 1 April 2019 and were already included in the statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019.

Consolidated gross profit or loss

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement

In the period 1–3/2019, exchange differences had a significant impact on the composition of the underwriting and investment results, which is why the results below are presented excluding the effect of exchange differences. The impact of exchange differences on the results by operating segment was as follows: negative effect on the underwriting result of EUR 1.3 million (1–3/2018: EUR 1.3 million positive effect); positive effect on the investment result of EUR 1.4 million (1–3/2018: EUR 1.4 million negative effect). The total positive effect of exchange differences on the result of 1–3/2019 amounted to EUR 0.1 million (1–3/2018: EUR 0.02 million negative effect).

Composition of the consolidated gross profit or loss by operating segment

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 primarily reflects the developments in the portfolio that Sava Re writes outside Slovenia with extra-Group companies.

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 profit or loss, excluding the effect of exchange differences.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance business (excluding the effect of exchange differences)

The underwriting result, excluding the effect of exchange differences, was stronger year on year, largely as the result of lower claims incurred (notes on deviations are provided later in this report) and lower operating expenses (notes on deviations are provided later in this report). In the period 1– 3/2017, the investment result (excluding the effect of exchange differences) was also better year on year, primarily driven by larger income from investment property and income from the partial reversal of impairment losses recognised on a corporate bond.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned; reinsurance business

(EUR) 1–3/2019 1–3/2018 Index
Gross premiums written 32,768,090 30,756,070 106.5
Net premiums written 32,133,718 30,235,944 106.3
Change in net unearned premiums -13,063,596 -10,646,131 122.7
Net premiums earned 19,070,122 19,589,813 97.3

In 1–3/2019, gross premiums written of this segment were 6.5% higher year on year. Premium growth was achieved in non-proportional reinsurance, especially in Asian markets (through organic growth and new contracts). In 1–3/2019, net premiums earned were 2.7% lower year on year.

The change in net unearned premiums was larger year on year, owing to faster growth in new business in the period 1–3/2019.

Net claims incurred

Net claims incurred 10,258,388 12,647,306 81.1

In 1–3/2019, net claims incurred rose by 5.7%, chiefly stemming from the large effect of exchange losses of EUR 1.5 million, whereas, in 1–3/2018, this effect was positive, at EUR 1.7 million. Excluding the effect of exchange differences, claims incurred in the year are lower year on year because there were fewer loss events (2018: collision of two ships off the coast of Shanghai and facultative loss at Kongo cobalt smelter; 2019: no major loss events).

The incurred loss ratio relating to the reinsurance segment (excluding the effect of exchange differences) was 11.8 percentage points better year on year, at 54.3% (1–3/2018: 66.1%).

Operating expenses

Consolidated operating expenses; reinsurance business

(EUR) 1–3/2019 1–3/2018 Index
Acquisition costs 6,316,109 6,391,535 98.8

Reinsurance commission income -239,573 -131,924 -18.4
Net operating expenses 5,767,929 6,501,302 88.7

In 1–3/2019 acquisition costs dropped by 1.2% despite a 6.5% rise in gross premiums written. Acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written rose by 1.5 percentage points year on year to 19.3% compared to 1–3/2018. Commission income was lower, reflecting a smaller volume of proportional business with typically higher commission rates. Although non-proportional premiums and commissions increased, this business typically achieves lower commission rates, which is why the increase in non-proportional commissions did not exceed the drop in commission income from proportional business.

In 1–3/2019, the change in deferred acquisition costs was larger year on year, due to stronger growth in gross premiums written in line with the movement in unearned premiums.

Other operating expenses increased by 5.4%, primarily on account of IT services.

In 1–3/2019, the net expense ratio deteriorated by 3.0 percentage points as the result of lower acquisition costs, including the change in deferred acquisition costs of 30.2%.

Net investment income

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

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 relating to the investment portfolio; reinsurance business (excluding the effect of exchange differences)

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

In 1–3/2019, net investment income totalled EUR 1.2 million, up EUR 0.5 million year on year. Net investment income strengthened as the result of a partial reversal of an impaired bond (+ EUR 0.4 million) and stronger income from investment property (+ EUR 0.1 million). The return on investment for the period was 2.4%.

2.2 Non-life business

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

  • Zavarovalnica Sava, non-life
  • Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro)
  • Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia)
  • Sava Osiguruvanje (North Macedonia)
  • Illyria
  • Sava Car
  • Sava Agent
  • Sava Station
  • ERGO Osiguranje

ERGO Osiguranje joined the Sava Insurance Group on 31 March 2019 and has, therefore, already been included in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2019. It will be included in the income statement as of 1 April 2019. 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

In 1–3/2019, the non-life segment recorded a (EUR 2.9 million) better gross consolidated result year on year. This is the combined result of a EUR 4.4 million better result of the Slovenian insurer and a EUR 1.5 million weaker result of non-Slovenian insurers.

The consolidated underwriting result of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 4.3 million, driven by growth in net premiums incurred. Due to portfolio growth in 2018, the rise in gross unearned premiums in the first quarter of 2018 was larger than in the first quarter of 2019, resulting in a larger volume of net premiums earned in the first quarter of 2019. The decline in the non-Slovenian underwriting result of non-life insurers of EUR 1.5 million is chiefly attributable to higher net claims incurred, mainly of the Croatian, Kosovan and Serbian non-life insurers. The result of the Serbian insurer is poor owing to the dynamics of establishing provisions for unexpired risks in the first quarter, which we expect will improve by the year end.

The investment results of the Slovenian and the non-Slovenian non-life insurers remained at about the year-on-year levels.

The result of other income and expenses of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 0.2 million. This year, a change has been made in the presentation of discounts for advance payments: last year, they were recorded as other expenses, this year, as a reduction in gross premiums written. In 1– 3/2018, discounts for advance payments totalled EUR 0.3 million, the same as in 1–3/2019. Of this, EUR 0.1 million has been recorded under other expenses, as it relates to the completion of certain transactions carried out in 2018, whereas EUR 0.2 million has been recorded as a reduction in gross premiums written. The result of other income and expenses of non-Slovenian non-life insurers remained at the year-on-year level.

In 1–3/2019, gross non-life insurance premiums grew by 1.8%, reflecting growth in gross non-life premiums of the Croatian, Montenegrin, North Macedonian and Serbian non-life insurers.

In Slovenia, gross non-life insurance premiums remained at the year-on-year level. There was a rise in motor gross premiums written driven by both more policies written and higer average premiums in personal lines. On the other hand, there was a decline in gross premiums written in property and general liability due to a change in the timing of writing policies for a major client and in credit business following the loss of a major client. The Slovenian non-life insurance market grew at a rate of 4.8% in the period.

Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 12.3%, with the largest jump in absolute terms in motor premiums, chiefly as the result of the better sales in Croatia, where new insurance terms and conditions were introduced. The growth was also contributed by aviation premiums from a new client in Montenegro, while there was also an increase in general liability premiums written by the Serbian insurer following the acquisition of Energoprojekt Garant (merged with the Serbian insurer Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia) at the end of 2018), which had not been included in the consolidated financial statements in the first quarter of the previous year. In addition, all non-Slovenian non-life insurers grew property business by attracting new commercial clients and broadening coverages for existing clients. Net non-life insurance premiums written abroad grew by 8.6% in 1–3/2019.

Total net premiums earned grew by 10.3%.

In the period of 1–3/2019, Slovenian gross claims paid saw a minor decrease year on year. While Zavarovalnica Sava's unconsolidated gross claims increased, the elimination of intra-Group business relating to a subsidiary conducting assistance services for Zavarovalnica Sava decreased consolidated gross claims paid. Unconsolidated gross claims of Zavarovalnica Sava increased due to increased motor liability claims as the result of payments of two major claims, higher average claims, and higher gross claims relating to assistance business because of different dynamics than in 2018. There was a yearon-year drop in gross claims paid in the land motor vehicles class and in property insurance.

Gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business rose by 21.4%. In absolute terms, the increase was largest in motor liability claims, followed by motor casco claims. The main reason for the rise in motor claims is a rise in the number of claims, which is related to the high growth in these policies. However, the rise in motor claims was also affected by several large motor liability claims, also from abroad (international claims).

In both 1–3/2018 and 1–3/2019, the change in the net provision for outstanding claims decreased net claims incurred, by EUR 2.5 million and EUR 1.5 million, respectively. In last year's first quarter, the decline was due to a drop in the gross provision and increased reinsurers' shares, whereas this year, reinsurers' shares rose more than the gross claims provision.

In 1–3/2019, the change in the net provision for outstanding claims of the Group's non-Slovenian nonlife insurers was EUR 0.5 million larger year on year. The rise was mainly the result of the rise in the gross claims provision of the Kosovan non-life insurer following a major fire loss in 2019.

Non-life business, international 7,820,150 7,292,281 107.2

Consolidated acquisition costs were up by 15.7%. For the Slovenian part, it is mainly related to (i) the higher premiums for personal lines in 2019, bonuses for agencies, which started monthly deferring of expenses this year as opposed to deferral after the due date as practiced in 2018, and (ii) premium increases for certain forms of insurance that have higher acquisition costs in the markets but which are still in line with target combined ratios. For the non-Slovenian part, the rise in acquisition costs is associated with a larger premium volume and rising sales through external sales channels.

The lower (3.9%) increase in consolidated other operating expenses is mainly a result of a slower increase in the costs of the Slovenian and non-Slovenian non-life insurers, excluding the Serbian nonlife insurer. The non-Slovenian non-life insurers saw increases in the costs of personnel, advertising, intellectual and other services.

The consolidated gross expense ratio for the non-life segment increased by 1.2 percentage points owing to the growth in expenses at the Slovenian non-life insurer (up 1.5 percentage points), with increases in both acquisition costs and other operating expenses. However, this is also partly due to the different timing of posting expenses and underwriting major policies for commercial lines, which resulted in lower gross premiums written for property business.

The consolidated gross expense ratio of non-Slovenian non-life companies dropped by 2.0 percentage points due to 12.3% growth in gross non-life premiums written, while acquisition costs plus other operating expenses grew by 5.1%.

Net investment income

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

In 1–3/2019, gross premiums written of the Slovenian life insurer grew year on year. This growth is due to new writings that compensated for premiums lost on account of maturities, deaths and surrenders.

In 1–3/2019, the gross premiums of non-Slovenian insurers shrank slightly despite the high growth posted in Kosovo and Serbia because the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava experienced a fall in gross premiums written owing to policy expiries (maturities, deaths, surrenders) that the company could not compensate with new writings. Illyria Life and Sava Životno Osiguranje (Serbia) recorded double-digit growth in gross premiums written, mainly through increased productivity of their own sales networks.

Total 34,163,053 29,682,528 115.1

In 1–3/2019, gross claims paid in Slovenia rose by 15.2% year on year as the result of a large number of policies reaching maturity. A bulk of the maturities of this period related to traditional life policies (EUR 16.7 million), while maturity payments for life policies where the investment risk is borne by policyholders totalled EUR 11.0 million. Compared to the previous year, total maturities relating to traditional life policies rose by EUR 10.2 million; maturities relating to 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.

All non-Slovenian insurers recorded a rise in gross claims paid. In relative terms, the increase (from maturities and deaths) was largest at Sava Životno Osiguranje (Serbia), at 23.5%. Illyria Life posted a 15.8% increase in gross claims paid (from maturities and surrenders); the branch of Zavarovalnica Sava saw gross claims paid rise by 9.1% (mainly from deaths and surrenders; with only few maturities).

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

In 1–3/2019, policy acquisition costs dropped by 0.9% year on year as the combined effect of reduced policy acquisition costs at the Slovenian life insurer and roughly unchanged acquisition costs at the life insurers abroad. The difference in the change in deferred acquisition costs between the years chiefly relates to the Slovenian life insurer.

In 1–3/2019, other operating expenses fell by 4.0% year on year. This was mainly contributed by Zavarovalnica Sava in Slovenia and its branch office in Croatia.

Consolidated gross expense ratio; life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio dropped by 1.5 percentage points compared to the previous year, largely reflecting lower other operating expenses at growing gross premiums written.

The Slovenian insurer saw a drop in the gross expense ratio by 1.2 percentage points, with even larger relative improvements at the non-Slovenian companies (the gross expense ratio dropped by 4.3 percentage points) as other operating expenses declined by more than 10% at the non-Slovenian companies.

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)

In 1–3/2019, net investment income relating to the life insurance investment portfolio totalled EUR 1.4 million, down EUR 0.6 million year on year. Net investment income was lower largely because of lower interest income (EUR 0.5 million) and realised capital gains (EUR 0.2 million). The return on investment for the period was 1.8%.

2.4 Pensions

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, which is why the pensions segment records data of this company in the statement of financial position, whereas it was not yet included in the income statement.

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".

Closing balance of fund assets (31/3) 138,630,477 129,717,487 106.9

Gross inflows into the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension company increased by 2.7% in the period 1–3/2019 year on year. Growth was chiefly driven by an increase in the number of policyholders.

In the period 1–3/2019, gross fund outflows from the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension insurer remained at about the year-on-year level. Gross outflows may relate to regular or extraordinary terminations. The major part of the latter related to exits.

In the period 1–3/2019, the Company transferred assets in the amount of EUR 157 thousand from other pension service providers, while transfers to other providers totalled EUR 133 thousand, resulting in an overall positive net effect.

Net investment income from the funds of EUR 3.0 million is attributable to favourable developments in financial markets in the first quarter of 2019 (above-average returns)

Entry and exit charges relating to the My-Life-Cycle group of funds dropped by 4.0% in the period 1– 3/2019 year on year.

In the first three months of 2019, the total assets of the group of long-term business funds grew by 2.7% to EUR 138.6 million as at 31 March 2019.

* Based on change in legislation.

In 1–3/2019, gross inflows into the mandatory and voluntary funds of the North Macedonian pension company totalled EUR 19.4 million, whereas gross pay-outs were EUR 9.3 million. The funds achieved a return of 4.0% in the period.

In the first three months of 2019, the net value of fund assets under management grew by 0.4% to EUR 504.5 million as at 31 March 2019.

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

Gross claims paid 212,724 156,438 136.0
Change in other net technical provisions (+/-) 582,272 557,231 104.5

The annuity part relates to the operation of Sava Pokojninska. The gross premiums written relate to the annuity fund and, in the period 1–3/2019, the fund grew by 18.0% year on year because a number of policyholders opted for additional pension annuities.

Gross claims paid include supplementary pension annuity payouts, which increased by 36.0% in the period 1–3/2019 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 annuity funds. The change in other net technical provisions reflects the change in premiums and claims, and the change due to revaluation for 2018.

3.1.1 Property, plant and equipment

As at 31 March 2019, property, plant and equipment assets totalled EUR 51.7 million, up 20.6% compared to 31 December 2018. The increase is mainly the result of recognising right-of-use assets from long-term leases of land, buildings and equipment in line with the new standard IFRS 16 "Leases", effective as of 1 January 2019. For more details, see section 7.9.1 "Property, plant and equipment".

Investment contract assets 139,451,532 135,586,965 3,864,567 102.9

As at 31 March 2019, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,120.8 million, an increase of EUR 38.0 million from year-end 2018. Positive effects on the balance of the investment portfolio stem from the change in accrued interest, fair value gains, realised gains on the disposal of financial investments and dividend income. Net cash flow from core (re)insurance business was negative in the period. As at 31 March 2019, the Croatian companies ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje were included in the Group portfolio.

Composition of the investment portfolio

* The "other" item comprises deposits with cedants, loans given and financial investments in associates.

Composition of fixed-income investments

As at 31 March 2019, fixed-income investments accounted for 92.5% of the portfolio, roughly the same as at 31 December 2018. The following movements in the structure of fixed-income investments have been seen:

  • lower exposure to government bonds of EUR 24.0 million (a 3.8-percentage-point decline in the proportion of fixed-income investments), largely due to investments reaching maturity;
  • the increase in cash and cash equivalents of EUR 52.8 million is short term in nature and mainly intended for covering planned completions of acquisitions and dividend distributions in June 2019 (increase in the proportion of fixed-income investments of 4.5 percentage points);
  • as at 31 March 2019, the portfolio does not include any subordinated bonds.
    • 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 is a major asset item (7). Life policies where the investment risk is born by the policy holders are marked by two insurers of the Sava Insurance Group: Zavarovalnica Sava and ERGO Životno Osiguranje.

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 2019, funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled EUR 218.9, of which EUR 210.5 million was financial investments and EUR 8.4 million was cash and cash equivalents. Funds for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk grew by EUR 3.0 million compared to the previous year end. The growth is mainly due to the positive change in the market value of investments of EUR 12.8 million and accrued interest. Negative effects include core business cash outflows due to maturities and transfers between funds due to dividend payouts.

3.1.4 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

The reinsurers' and coinsurers' share of technical provisions increased by EUR 9.2 million or 27.9% compared to 31 December 2018. Unearned premiums increased by EUR 6.1 million (of which EUR 5.8 million related to Slovenian non-life insurance business), which is the result of the deferment of premiums for the new underwriting year, which are mostly written at the beginning of the year. Claims provisions increased by EUR 3.1 million on account of new claim reports or reports on increased claims.

3.1.5 Investment contract assets

The investment contract assets item (9) includes liability fund assets relating to the life cycle funds "MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla" that have been 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), Moj Uravnoteženi Sklad (My Balanced Fund, MBF) (in which policyholders bear the full investment risk) and Moj Zajamčeni Sklad (My Guaranteed Fund, MGF), in which policyholders bear the investment risk in excess of the guaranteed funds. As at 31 March 2019, investment contract assets totalled EUR 139.5 million, up 2.9% compared to 31 December 2018. The increase in investment contract assets relates to net flows (EUR 0.7 million; in the reporting period, inflows totalled EUR 3.0 million and outflows EUR 2.3 million) and the positive change in the fair value reserve (EUR 3.0 million).

As at 31 March 2019, financial investments accounted for 85.4% of total assets; the remaining amount comprises receivables, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

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

3.1.6 Receivables

Receivables (10) increased by 27.3%, or EUR 38.4 million, compared to year-end 2018 (1–3/2018: increase of 26.4% or EUR 36.6 million). Receivables typically show a significant increase in the first quarter.

Increases were recorded in all types of receivables. The largest increase was with receivables arising from primary insurance business, up EUR 36.1 million, or 28.6%, compared to 31 December 2018; however, the lion's share of this increase relates to not-past-due receivables (EUR 32.9 million). In absolute terms, the largest increase was in the non-life segment in Slovenia (increase of EUR 18.1 million; 1–3/2018: EUR 19.5 million), in the reinsurance segment (increase of EUR 15.5 million; 1– 3/2018: EUR 10.8 million) and in the international non-life segment (increase of EUR 2.5 million; 1– 3/2018: of EUR 1.7 million). The reason for the increase in the non-life segment is the annual renewal of insurance contracts with legal entities; in the reinsurance segment, the increase is due to the renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the timing of making estimates for reinsurance business. The increase in the international non-life segment was also due to the integration of ERGO Osiguranje, which held EUR 0.7 million in receivables arising out of primary insurance business as at 31 March 2019.

3.2.1 Equity

Equity (1) increased by 5.1%, or EUR 17.5 million, compared to year-end 2018.

In the period 1–3/2019, equity increased by the amount of net profit of EUR 10.9 million and EUR 6.6 million due to the increase in the fair value reserve.

3.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item under liabilities. The figure as at 31 March 2019 was an increase of 5.1%, or EUR 47.3 million, over year-end 2018. The largest growth (EUR 44.4 million) was in gross unearned premiums, which is due to the method of setting technical provisions: high unearned premiums are set aside for annual premiums written at the beginning of the year. These are then gradually amortised over the year, and only on 31 December 2019 will they be comparable to the unearned premiums as at 31 December 2018.

Movements in consolidated gross technical provisions

(EUR) 31/03/2019 31/12/2018 Index
Gross unearned premiums 228,549,188 184,101,835 124.1
Gross mathematical provisions 248,505,437 254,849,366 97.5
Gross provision for outstanding claims 477,660,505 470,057,561 101.6
Gross provision for bonuses, rebates and cancellations 1,440,991 1,477,666 97.5
Other gross technical provisions 11,671,510 10,005,059 116.7
Gross technical provisions 967,827,631 920,491,487 105.1

The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 6.4%, or EUR 10.1 million, compared to year-end 2018. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as the result of the annual dynamics of underwriting reinsurance business (up EUR 12.5 million; 1–3/2018: up EUR 10.0 million), while provisions for outstanding claims rose by EUR 2.7 million.

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life segment grew by 9.1%, or EUR 45.0 million, compared to year-end 2018. Of this, EUR 31.8 million related to the growth in unearned premiums in line with the growth in premium income (1–3/2018: growth of EUR 33.8 million), while provisions for outstanding claims grew by EUR 6.9 million compared to year-end 2018 (chiefly as the result of new acquisitions).

Gross mathematical provisions decreased by 2.5% (or EUR 6.3 million) because the decline due to maturity benefits exceeded growth owing to aging of insured persons and the growth in the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including the newly acquired portfolio and pension annuity business in the distribution phase.

Other technical provisions (provisions for bonuses, rebates and cancellations, and other provisions) account for a smaller proportion and grew by a total of EUR 1.6 million. The increase mainly stems from new writings and higher unearned premiums.

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

Gross provisions for unit-linked life business (4) totalled EUR 214.3 million as at 31 March 2019 and increased by 2.1%, or EUR 4.3 million, mainly due to new writings and the integration of ERGO Životno Osiguranje into the Group.

3.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 139.3 million as at 31 March 2019, up 2.9%, or EUR 3.9 million, from year-end 2018. They move in line with investment contract assets depending on new inflows, outflows and movements in fund unit prices.

3.2.5 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities from operating activities (9) increased by 29.8%, or EUR 16.3 million, from year-end 2018, reflecting increased liabilities from reinsurance and coinsurance business (EUR 8.7 million), liabilities from primary insurance business (EUR 6.8 million) and current income tax liabilities (EUR 0.8 million).

3.2.6 Diverse other liabilities

Diverse other liabilities (10) increased by 43.5%, or EUR 14.6 million, from year-end 2018 as the result of the integration of ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje into the Group as well as the effect of initial recognition of liabilities under the new standard IFRS 16 "Leases".

3.3 Capital structure

As at 31 March 2019, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 357.7 million of equity. It held no subordinated debt and was thus exclusively financed from equity.

3.4 Cash flow

In the period 1–3/2019, the Sava Insurance Group's net cash from operating activities was negative, at EUR 13.0 million (1–3/2018: EUR 7.9 million). The rise in the net cash outflow from operating activities stemmed from maturing life policies.

In the period 1–3/2019, the negative net cash from financing of the Sava Insurance Group was roughly the same year on year.

The net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the period 1–3/2019 was larger year on year by EUR 34.6 million, which is the result of a larger cash flow from investing activities due to a tactical decision of the investment portfolio asset managers not to reinvest assets at the reporting date based on market conditions and other considerations, including the planned settlement of liabilities relating to the acquisition of a new company in the second quarter and dividend distributions.

5 Risk management

In their operation, the Group companies are exposed to various categories of risk: insolvency risk, underwriting risk, risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risk

10The credit rating agency Standard & Poor's uses the following scale for assessing financial strength: AAA (extremely strong), AA (very strong), A (strong), BBB (adequate), BB (less vulnerable), B (more vulnerable), CCC (currently vulnerable), CC (highly vulnerable), R (under regulatory supervision), SD (selectively defaulted), D (defaulted), NR (not rated). Plus (+) or minus (-) following the credit rating from AA to CCC indicates the relative ranking within the major credit categories.

AM 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).

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 Insurance Group annual report 2018 and are therefore not repeated in this report.

5.1 Capital adequacy and capital management in the Sava Insurance Group

The Sava Insurance 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%. On 3 June 2019, the Group will post on its website the "Solvency and financial condition report of the Sava Insurance Group 2018", which will include details on valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's capital requirements. We assess that the solvency ratio as at 31 December 2018 will remain slightly above the upper limit of the optimal ratio range, as set in the Group's risk strategy.

5.2 Underwriting risk

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

The Group is exposed to the following non-life underwriting risks: underwriting process risk (insurance and reinsurance), pricing risk, claims risk, retention risk and reserving risk. 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 that the Group is exposed to is the deterioration of the net combined ratio as a result of an increase in claims or expenses along with a decrease in premiums. A rise/drop in the Group's net combined ratio of one percentage point would decrease/increase its profit before tax by EUR 1.03 million (31/03/2018: EUR 0.97 million).

The Group's exposure to underwriting risk did not change significantly in the first quarter compared to year-end 2018. Accordingly, the Group's retrocession programme is largely unchanged from year-end 2018.

5.3 Financial risks

In their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks, such as market, liquidity, and credit risk as well as the risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns on life business.

The risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns also includes the risk of investment contracts relating to the long-term business funds of the voluntary supplementary pension insurance (VSPI) that Sava Pokojninska manages for the benefit of policyholders.

5.3.1 Risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns

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 139.5 million as at 31 March 2019, up EUR 3.9 million from 31 December 2018.

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

Traditional and unit-linked life insurance contracts

With regard to its traditional and unit-linked life insurance business with a guaranteed unit value, the insurer is exposed to the risk of failure to realise the guaranteed return. As at 31 March 2019, the effect of failing to achieve the guaranteed return was assessed at -EUR 63,639 (31/03/2018: -EUR 41,889).

5.3.2 Market risk

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk as at 31 March 2019 of EUR 1,190.8 million shrank by EUR 25.9 million from 31 December 2018.

Interest rate risk

The value of investments included in the interest-rate risk calculation as at 31 March 2019 was EUR 934.1 million (31/12/2018: EUR 930.2 million). Of this, EUR 599.0 million (31/12/2018: EUR 580.3 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers and the reinsurer and EUR 335.2 million (31/12/2018: EUR 350.7 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life insurance and reinsurance assets was 3.02 years as at 31 March 2019 (31/12/2018: 2.98 years), while the expected maturity of non-life and reinsurance obligations was 2.47 years (31/12/2018: 2.77 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 3.62 years as at 31 March 2019 (31/12/2018: 3.48 years), while the expected duration of life insurance obligations was 5.30 (31/12/2018: 4.39).

The maturity mismatch between assets and liabilities increased modestly, resulting in a rise in interest risk.

Equity risk

The value of investments that the Company includes in the equity risk calculation totalled EUR 17.9 million as at 31 March 2019 (31/12/2018: EUR 18.5 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 1.8 million (31/12/2018: EUR 1.9 million).

The risk remained at about the same level as at year-end 2018.

Alternative investment risk

As at 31 March 2019, the Group's alternative investments totalled EUR 26.8 million (31/03/2018: EUR 25.9 million), comprising infrastructure fund investments and investment property. The risk of alternative investments has been determined based on stressed values as prescribed under Solvency II regulations for the capital adequacy calculation. A drop of 25% was used for investment property and a drop of 49% for infrastructure funds, since we did not apply a look-through approach to these funds, resulting in an absolute decrease of EUR 8.2 million in total (31/12/2018: EUR 7.7 million).

The risk remained at about the same level as at year-end 2018.

Currency risk

The Company monitors the matching of assets and liabilities by both the ALM aspect (by accounting currency11) and the accounting aspect (by transaction currency12). As at 31 March 2019, the position was 97.0% matched according to the management aspect (31/12/2018: 96.8%) and 98.8% matched according to the ALM aspect (31/12/2018: 98.8%).

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

5.3.3 Credit risk

As at 31 March 2019, fixed-income investments rated "A" or better accounted for 61.3% of the total fixed-income portfolio (31/12/2018: 68.2%). In the 2019 reporting period, the share of the best-rated investments dropped compared to the prior year-end. This is because cash equivalents (unrated) increased somewhat, since not all proceeds from maturities and disposals were reinvested.

As at 31 March 2019, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 411.2 million, representing 34.5% of financial investments (31/12/2018: EUR 403.5 million; 34.6%). The largest single issuer of securities that the Group is exposed to is the Republic of Slovenia. As at 31 March 2019, the exposure to Slovenian issuers totalled EUR 75 million, representing 6.4% of financial investments (31/12/2018: EUR 138.8 million; 11.9%). A share of 6.2% of financial investments is exposed to other corporate issuers. This, however, is short term in nature as it relates to liabilities for the acquisition of a new company and dividend distributions to shareholders.

Based on the above, we estimate that particularly through reducing their exposure to Slovenia and increased diversification by issuer, region and industry the Sava Insurance Group companies managed their exposure to credit risk well in 1–3/2019, reducing it compared to year-end 2018.

5.3.4 Liquidity risk

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

We believe that liquidity risk is low and well managed.

11 The accounting currency is the local currency used in the accounting documentation. Reinsurance contracts may be accounted for in various accounting currencies. Generally, this is the currency of liabilities and receivables due from cedants, and hence also the reinsurer.

5.4 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 2018.

5.5 Strategic risks

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

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

In the first quarter, the Group's exposure to strategic risk remained at about the same level as at yearend 2018.

5.6 Risk exposure up until year-end 2019

The main risks that the Group is exposed to remained underwriting risk, followed by market risk. The realisation of underwriting risk is fortuitous. Underwriting risk could be realised to a larger extent as a result of a larger number of catastrophic events (in Slovenia and abroad), while the realisation of financial risk could increase owing to unfavourable trends in financial markets.

Unaudited consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months to 31 March 2018

7 Notes to the consolidated financial statements

The selected notes to the quarterly financial statements are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group in the first three months of 2019 as compared to both the first three months of 2018 and the year-end 2018.

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 prepared for 2018.

The financial statements with notes as at and for the three months to 31 March 2019 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements as at 31 March 2019 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2018, except for the policies related to IFRS 16 "Leases". As of 1 January 2019, the assets of the Group include right-ofuse assets at the present value of future lease payments. Right-of-use assets are reduced through value adjustments equalling the remaining lease payments or depreciation calculated based on the lease term. The Group recognises lease payments relating to short-term and low-value leases as an expense.

7.2 Seasonality and cyclicality of interim operations

The operations of the Group are not seasonal in nature. Pursuant to underwriting rules, the Group's insurance companies defer those costs (expenses and income) that may or must be deferred at the year end.

7.3 Nature and amount of extraordinary items

There were no extraordinary items in terms of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the period 1–3/2019.

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 7.2 million as at 31 March 2019. 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).

The presented operating segments are "reinsurance business", "non-life business", "life business", "pensions" and the "other" segment. The performance of these segments is monitored using different indicators, a common performance indicator for all segments being net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs. The management board monitors performance by segment to the level of underwriting results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions on a quarterly basis.

7.8 Business combinations

On 27 February 2019, Zavarovalnica Sava satisfied all suspensive conditions, becoming the sole owner of the companies ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje. The first consolidated accounts of the Sava Insurance Group after the Croatian companies joined were prepared as at 31 March 2019.

The Group is planning to transfer the portfolios of the acquired companies to the Croatia-based branch office of Zavarovalnica Sava, after which the ERGO companies will be wound up. Owing to the above, the identified badwill of EUR 7.5 million was temporarily transferred to other liabilities.

7.9.3 Receivables

Receivables grew by EUR 38.4 million compared to the balance as at year-end 2018, chiefly due to the annual renewal of insurance contracts with legal entities but partly also because of the annual renewal of reinsurance contracts with cedants and the dynamics of assessing reinsurance business. The increase in receivables was partly driven by the acquisitions finalised in the first quarter.

For these reasons, funds are temporarily held as cash and cash equivalents.

7.9.6 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by EUR 47.3 million, or 5.1%, compared to 31 December 2018. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (EUR 44.4 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. Gross claims provisions increased by 2.9% (EUR 7.6 million), of which the lion's share (EUR 6.2 million) was acquired in the acquisition of ERGO Osiguranje and ERGO Životno Osiguranje. The gross provision for traditional life policies decreased by 2.5% (or EUR 6.3 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 newly acquired portfolios and pension annuity business in the distribution phase. As part of other gross technical provisions, the provision for unexpired risks increased by EUR 1.7 million due to new writings and higher unearned premiums.

Shown is the change in fair value levels after the first quarter 2019 compared to year-end 2018, specifically due to the reclassification of debt instruments from level 2 into level 1. As at 31 December 2018, BID CBBT13 prices were unavailable for a large part of the bond portfolio; therefore, the Group used instead BVAL prices as at 31 December 2018. Consequently, debt instruments had to be shown one level lower (level 2), in accordance with the methodology for determining fair value levels. As at 31 March 2019, BID CBBT prices were available, which is why debt instruments could be reclassified from level 2 back into level 1.

The Group changed its approach to recognising fair values of deposits. It believes that the carrying amount of deposits is a sufficient approximation of fair value because these are mainly short-term investments.
