The table below compares actual figures against figures planned for the full year 2020:

EUR million 1–3/2020 2020 plan As % of plan

Operating revenue 149.0 > 610 24.4%
Profit or loss, net of tax 10.3 > 45 22.9%

Net combined ratio (reins. + non-life) 93.3% < 94 %

* Excluding the effect of exchange differences.

** About 2 p.p. relate to the cost of digitalisation and the IT transformation.

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

In the period 1–3/2020, the Sava Insurance Group wrote EUR 197.5 million in gross premiums, up 15.1% year on year. The growth in gross premiums written in 1–3/2020 was also contributed by business written by Zavarovalnica Sava with companies based in the European Union. The net profit for the period was EUR 10.3 million, accounting for 22.9% of the full-year 2020 target. The net expense ratio for the first three months was better than planned as the result of a better expense ratio achieved in the reinsurance and non-life insurance segments. The net incurred loss ratio was somewhat weaker than planned, mainly due to the impact of higher net claims incurred in the reinsurance segment. The investment return was slightly better than planned. The operating revenue of the Sava Insurance Group accounts for 24.4% of the full-year 2020 target figure.

By the end of August 2020, the Sava Insurance Group is planning to prepare an updated financial plan for the period 2020–2022, taking into account impacts associated with the Covid-19 outbreak on business projections along with impacts of the NLB Vita acquisition, if completed by then.

1.7 Shareholders and share trading

The promising beginning of 2020 in European and US stock markets has been upended because of the measures taken to battle the Covid-19 pandemic. Global stock markets crashed in March, falling by 35% and more. Since 20 March, a rising trend in global stock markets can be seen as the result of greater optimism arising from tackling the global pandemic and reopening of economies.

The Slovenian stock market was also hit by the global pandemic. The SBITOP stock index (Slovenian blue chip index) fell by 30%, from the market's quarter high to its quarter low. On a quarterly basis, the SBITOP fell by 21%. Since the end of March, we have seen similar positive trends in Slovenia as in other global stock markets. The SBITOP rose by 16% from its low on 23 March 2020 to 8 May 2020. In the year up to 8 May 2020, the return was -14%.

POSR share price performance from 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 compared to the SBITOP stock index

The SBITOP index has been rebased to the same level as the POSR share price (01/04/2019: EUR 17.2), this is followed by the stock index growth rate in real terms.

The POSR share price was EUR 18.00 and EUR 14.40 as at 31/12/2019 and 31/03/2020, respectively, representing a 20.0% fall in the period. The Sava Re share rose by 16% from its low on 23 March 2020 until 8 May 2020. Total turnover in the Sava Re share was EUR 11.9 million in the first quarter of 2020, compared to EUR 10.6 million in the full year 2019. Average daily turnover with the share in the first quarter 2020 was EUR 188,728, compared to EUR 43,417 in the full year 2019. In the period, the average daily turnover of the SBITOP stock index doubled (source: Bloomberg). The reason for this volatility is investor response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Share buy-back

In the period from 1 January 2020 to 31 March 2020, Sava Re did not repurchase its own shares. The total number of own shares as at 31 March 2020 was 1,721,966, representing 10% less one share of all issued shares.

Dividends

The Company did not distribute any dividends in the first quarter of 2020. On 31 March 2020, Sava Re received a letter from the Slovenian Insurance Supervision Agency calling on insurance, reinsurance and pension companies to temporarily suspend dividend payments and refrain from making any irrevocable commitments to pay dividends. Through this temporarily measure, in force until 1 October 2020, the Insurance Supervision Agency believed insurance companies would increase their resilience to the financial shock resulting from the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic, maintain financial stability and prevent any potential business disruptions.

In view of the above, the management and supervisory boards proposed to the Company's general meeting, to be held on 16 June 2020, to adopt a resolution to the effect that the distributable profit for 2019, of EUR 34,705,806.06, not be distributed to shareholders and be retained unallocated.

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 (non-Group business);
  • non-life, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (Slovenian part, including FoS business);
  • non-life business, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (Croatian part), Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (Serbia), Illyria, Sava Osiguranje (Montenegro), Sava Osiguruvanje (North Macedonia), 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;
  • pension business: Sava Pokojninska, Sava Penzisko Društvo;
  • other: TBS Team 24, Sava Infond (company included in the balance sheet as from 30 June 2019 and in the income statement for the period 7–12/2019), Illyria Hospital, ZTRS (equity method), G2I (equity method). The "other" segment also includes the costs of subordinate debt.

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 have arisen. 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 was also allocated to the segment where it had arisen. All these items were adjusted only in the part relating to the risks of subsidiaries retroceded by Sava Re to reinsurers abroad.
  • 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 was also made for other operating expenses relating to intra-Group reinsurance transactions. In 2020, Sava Re allocated 66.7% of other operating expenses to operating segments as monitored by income composition (2019: 64.7%). Furthermore, operating expenses of TBS Team 24 incurred in its activities on behalf of other Group companies were reallocated from the "other" segment to the Slovenian and international non-life segments. 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). In 2020, the "other" segment also includes expenses relating to subordinate debt (EUR 0.7 million).

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 are made in addition to the eliminations made in the consolidation process:

  • Intangible assets goodwill is allocated to the segment from which it has arisen (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.
  • With regard to the cash and cash equivalents item, investments in the amount of subordinate debt are shown in the "other" segment.
  • 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).
  • With regard to subordinate obligations, the amount of subordinate debt is shown in the "other" segment.

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. Sava Infond has been included in the consolidated financial statements of the Sava Insurance Group since 30 June 2019.

Summary of the consolidated income statement

In 1–3/2020 operating revenue totalled EUR 149.0 million, up 16.2% year on year. Revenue was primarily driven by higher non-life revenue, a larger volume of business written by Zavarovalnica Sava with various EU companies and partly by acquisitions. Following is a discussion of the major items of the consolidated income statement.

Consolidated gross profit or loss

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement

In the period 1–3/2020, 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 result by operating segment was as follows: positive effect on the underwriting result of EUR 1.4 million (1–3/2019: EUR 1.3 million negative effect); negative effect on the investment result of EUR 1.1 million (1–3/2019: EUR 1.5 million positive effect). The total positive effect of exchange differences on the 1–3/2020 result totalled EUR 0.2 million (1–3/2019: EUR 0.1 million positive effect).

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

Composition of the consolidated gross profit or loss by operating segment

2.1 Reinsurance business

The 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 impact of exchange differences was weaker in 1–3/2020 year on year, mainly as the result of high claims incurred (as explained below in this section). In the period 1– 3/2020, the investment result (excluding the effect of exchange differences) remained approximately on the same level year on year.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned 23,238,933 19,070,122 121.9

In 1–3/2020 , gross premiums written of this segment were 22.6% higher year on year. Premium growth was achieved in non-proportional and proportional reinsurance business, especially in Asian markets (through organic growth and new contracts). The growth in premiums earned was in line with gross premium growth.

In 1–3/2020, exchange differences had a positive impact on net claims incurred in the amount of EUR 1.3 million (1–3/2019: negative impact of EUR 1.4 million). Net claims incurred, excluding the effect of exchange differences, rose by 75.2% because a major loss event (a fire loss in South Korea) occurred this year whereas there were no events of a similar magnitude last year. In addition, net claims incurred were impacted by the change in the reinsurers' share of net provision for outstanding claims, which was higher in 1–3/2020 year on year. The growth in net claims incurred was also driven by organic growth of business (net premiums earned rose by 21.9%). The net incurred loss ratio relating to the reinsurance segment (excluding the effect of exchange differences) deteriorated by 23.8 p.p. year on year, to 78.1% (1–3/2019: 54.3%).

In 1–3/2020, acquisition costs rose by 16.1%, against 22.6% growth in gross premiums written. Acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written rose by 1.0 p.p. year on year to 18.3% compared to 1–3/2019.

In 1–3/2020, the change in deferred acquisition costs was larger year on year, due to stronger growth in gross premiums written for new business in line with the movement in unearned premiums.

Other operating expenses increased by 6.3%, primarily due to personnel costs following expanded business operations.

In 1–3/2020, the net expense ratio improved by 4.5 p.p. as the result of faster growth in net premiums earned compared to net operating expenses. In 1–3/2020, acquisition costs, including the change in deferred acquisition costs, were up 1.9% year on year.

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 and expenses for 1–3/2019 differ from those presented in the financial report for 1–3/2019 because exchange gains and losses were presented separately, while the 1–3/2020 report shows the net effect of exchange differences.

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 1–3/2020, net investment income totalled EUR 1.2 million and was flat year on year. The investment return 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

The Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava is discussed under Slovenian non-life insurance, and the Croatian part of the company is discussed under international non-life insurance. FoS business is shown in the Slovenian non-life insurance segment.

The 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 1–3/2020, the non-life segment recorded a (EUR 4.5 million) better gross consolidated result year on year. Of this, EUR 3.5 million related to the Slovenian insurer, and EUR 1.0 million to non-Slovenian insurers.

The consolidated underwriting result of the Slovenian non-life insurer improved by EUR 3.9 million, mainly driven by growth in net premiums earned. Likewise, the underwriting performance of non-Slovenian non-life insurers improved by EUR 1.1 million, largely as the result of higher net earned premiums.

The investment result of the Slovenian non-life insurer deteriorated by EUR 0.3 million, mainly because of fair value changes and losses on disposal of FVTPL investments. The investment result of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers remained at about the year-on-year level.

The result of other income and expenses of the Slovenian non-life insurer remained at about the yearon-year level, whereas the result of other income and expenses of non-Slovenian non-life insurers declined by EUR 0.3 million, owing to increased other expenses of the Serbian non-life insurance company.

Gross non-life insurance premiums grew by 15.8% in 1–3/2020 as the result of growth in gross non-life premiums of virtually all non-life insurers. Accordingly, net premiums earned also grew, by 18.0% in total.

Slovenia-sourced gross non-life premiums grew by 16.7%. The growth in gross premiums was also contributed by business written under the freedom of services regime of EUR 7.9 million, which the Slovenian non-life insurer generated in cooperation with various EU partners. This chiefly relates to property, ships, general liability and motor business. The increase in gross premiums of the Slovenian non-life insurer in the amount of EUR 8.4 million refers to non-life insurances, excluding FoS business. In the aforementioned period, the Slovenian insurance market registered 5.3% growth in non-life gross premiums, excluding FoS business and accepted co-insurance, while the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava achieved 8.8% premium growth. The growth in gross premiums written by the Slovenian non-life insurer, excluding FoS business, mostly stemmed from growth in property business due to different timing of premium accounting for a major client. There has already been seen a premium decline in the motor liability insurance segment owing to the measures taken in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. On subtraction of gross premiums of a large client in the property segment resulting from the different interim dynamics of premium accounting, gross non-life premiums would register 3.0% growth, if FoS business and accepted co-insurance is excluded. Net non-life insurance premiums earned in Slovenia grew by 16.4% in 1–3/2020.

Gross non-life insurance premiums written abroad rose by 11.0%. The largest jump in absolute terms was in motor premiums in Croatia, which is solely the result of the acquisition of Ergo Osiguranje, included in the Group as of 31 March 2019. Without Ergo, Croatian gross motor premiums fell due to planned more selective underwriting. In addition to growth in gross motor premiums abroad, there was also growth in other damage to property insurance business resulting from new clients in Serbia and increased marketing activities in Kosovo. In the period 1–3/2020, the increased marketing activities in Kosovo also led to an growth in health business.

Consolidated gross non-life claims grew by 18.4% in 1–3/2020, as the result of growth in gross non-life claims of the Slovenian and the non-Slovenian non-life insurers.

Consolidated gross claims paid in 1–3/2020 relating to Slovenian business rose 17.1% year on year. Growth in gross claims paid of EUR 4.3 million reflects growth in Slovenian business in 2020, partly also contributed (EUR 1.5 million) by higher gross claims paid on FoS business. The largest absolute growth was recorded in land motor vehicles due to a larger number of policies sold and a rise in the level of average claims. Zavarovalnica Sava also incurred larger claims in property business year on year. This is because some large weather-related claims were reported and settled in 1–3/2020.

Consolidated gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business rose by 24.8%. The largest increase in gross claims was recorded in motor business of the Croatian branch office of Zavarovalnica Sava. This is the result of the acquisition of Ergo Osiguranje, included in the Group as of 31 March 2019. Growth in motor TPL gross claims paid was also registered by the Macedonian and Serbian non-life insurers because of larger claims.

Non-life business, international 8,772,851 7,820,142 112.2

Consolidated acquisition costs were up by 31.4%. Growth in acquisition costs is related to growth in FoS business of the Slovenian non-life insurer.

Consolidated other operating expenses remained flat compared to 1–3/2020. In this regard, the Slovenian non-life insurer experienced a fall, the non-Slovenian non-life insurance companies a rise. The other operating expenses of the Slovenian non-life insurer declined due to the expenses of its assistance service provider. This is because in 2019 operating expenses of the assistance service provider incurred in its activities on behalf of other Group companies were reallocated from the "other" segment to the non-life segment. In 2020, a part of these expenses was reallocated to the gross claims paid item. The reallocation is due to the fact that Zavarovalnica Sava has been marketing its own policies since 2019.

The largest growth abroad was registered by the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava, as the inclusion of the portfolio of Ergo Osiguranje into Zavarovalnica Sava resulted in increased expenses (especially personnel expenses).

Consolidated gross expense ratio; non-life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-life segment dropped by 1.7 p.p. The gross expense ratio of the Slovenian non-life insurer dropped by 2.0 p.p. because of growth in gross premiums written, whereas the gross expense ratio of non-Slovenian non-life insurers rose by 0.5 p.p. because gross operating expenses rose faster than gross premiums written.

Net investment income

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

Income and expenses for 1–3/2019 differ from those presented in the financial report for 1–3/2019 because exchange gains and losses were presented separately, while the 1–3/2020 report shows the net effect of exchange differences.

In 1–3/2020, net investment income of non-life companies totalled EUR 1.9 million, down EUR 0.2 million year on year. Lower net investment income was largely due to fair value changes and losses on the disposal of FVTPL assets. The return on investment for the period was 1.4%.

2.3 Life insurance

The life segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

  • Zavarovalnica Sava, life business
  • Sava Životno Osiguranje (Serbia)
  • Illyria Life
  • ZS Svetovanje (insurance agency services)
  • Ornatus KC (call centre)

The Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava is discussed as Slovenian life insurance, and the Croatian part of the company is discussed as international life insurance.

In 1–3/2020, gross premiums written by the Slovenian life insurer dropped by 3.1% year on year. The company did not managed to write sufficient new business to fully offset premiums lost due to policy maturities, deaths and surrenders.

In 1–3/2019, gross premiums written by the Group's non-Slovenian life insurers grew by 30.1% year on year, with the largest growth coming from the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava (inclusion of the life insurer Ergo Životno Osiguranje into the Group as of 31 March 2019 and transfer of portfolio to Zavarovalnica Sava in November 2019) and from the Serbian market reflecting greater efficiency of the own sales network.

In 1–3/2020, gross claims paid in Slovenia rose by 11.1% year on year as the result of a large number of policies reaching maturity. The bulk of the maturity benefits incurred in the period related to traditional life policies, specifically EUR 17.1 million, an increase of EUR 0.4 million year on year. Unitlinked life business where policyholders bear the investment risk paid out EUR 6.7 million in surrenders and advance payments, up EUR 4.9 million year on year, whereas this class of insurance incurred lower maturity benefits (by EUR 2.0 million) than in the previous year.

Of the non-Slovenian insurers, Sava Životno Osiguranje (Serbia) recorded the largest relative increase in gross claims paid, at 84.4%, mainly from death and maturity benefits. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava registered a rise of 1.3%. Illyria Life's gross claims paid dropped by 17.6% (reduced level of surrenders).

In 1–3/2019, policy acquisition costs rose by 1.7% year on year. They increased at the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava and for life business in Serbia due to a rapid growth in premium volume, but declined year on year for life business in Slovenia and Kosovo. The difference in the change in deferred acquisition costs between the years chiefly relates to Slovenian life business.

In the first three months of 2020, other operating expenses rose by 6.8% year on year, a trend consistent across all life insurance companies of the Group.

Consolidated gross expense ratio; life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio rose by 1.4 p.p. year on year. The gross expense ratio of the Slovenian insurer went up by 1.3 p.p. (higher other operating expenses with otherwise lower gross premiums and policy acquisition expenses). In contrast, the non-Slovenian companies saw a decline, by 1.5 p.p. (higher growth in gross premiums and policy acquisition expenses with otherwise higher other operating expenses).

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 1–3/2020, net investment income relating to life business amounted to EUR 1.5 million, broadly flat year on year. The return on investment for the period was 2.1%. One underlying reason is the significantly lower average investment portfolio position in the life segment compared to year-end 2019. The lower average position is partly the result of higher maturity benefit payments and negative revaluation of investments due to falling prices of assets valued through equity.

2.4 Pension business

The pensions segment comprises the operations of the following companies:

  • Sava Pokojninska
  • Sava Penzisko Društvo

The 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".

  • income of the North Macedonian pension company relating to entry charges paid by customers and management fees to which the company is entitled for the management of mandatory and voluntary pension funds.

Closing balance of fund assets (31 Mar) 140,633,444 138,630,477 101.4

The difference in the balance of fund assets and the balance sheet item assets of financial investments are the receivables of financial investments. Gross inflows into the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension company rose by 9.3% in the period 1–3/2020 year on year, which is chiefly the result of higher average premium contributions, but also reflects an increase in the number of policyholders.

In the period 1–3/2020, gross fund outflows from the My-Life-Cycle group of funds of the Slovenian pension insurer increased by 12.1% year on year. Gross outflows may relate to regular or extraordinary terminations. The major part of the latter stemmed from exits.

In the period 1–3/2020, the Company transferred assets in the amount of EUR 190 thousand from other pension service providers, and transfers to other providers totalled EUR 164 thousand, resulting in an overall positive net effect.

The negative fund return of EUR 8.7 million reflects the extremely unfavourable developments in financial markets in the first quarter of 2020 related to the Covid-19 pandemic and the resulting situation in financial markets at the end of March 2020.

Consequently, in the first quarter of 2020, the level of total assets of the group of long-term business funds fell by 5.4% to EUR 140.6 million as at 31 March 2020.

Performance of the mandatory and voluntary funds of the North Macedonian pension company

In 1–3/2020, gross inflows into the mandatory and voluntary funds of the North Macedonian pension company totalled EUR 17.1 million, and gross outflows were EUR 0.1 million. In the period, the return on funds was negative, at -4.9%, owing to the negative trends in financial markets.

In the first three quarters of 2020, the net asset value of funds under management dropped by 2.8% to EUR 577.9 million as at 31 March 2020.

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

Gross claims paid 219,361 212,724 103.1
Change in other net technical provisions (+/-) -834,895 -582,272 143.4

The annuity part relates to the operation of Sava Pokojninska. The gross premiums written relate to the annuity fund and, in the period 1–3/2020, the fund grew by 22.2% year on year because a number of policyholders opted for additional pension annuities.

Gross claims paid include supplementary pension annuity payouts, which increased by 3.1% in the period 1–3/2020 year on year. After 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. These rose by EUR 0.8 million in 2020, or by 43.3% more than in the first quarter of the previous year, because of large new premium contributions at roughly unchanged claim payments.

In the period 1–3/2020, operating expenses increased by 8.6% year on year, entirely due to the amortisation of a client list set up as an intangible asset of the Group after the inclusion of Sava Penzisko into the Group.

Net investment income

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (EUR); pensions segment10

Income and expenses for 1–3/2019 differ from those presented in the financial report for 1–3/2019 because exchange gains and losses were presented separately, while the 1–3/2020 report shows the net effect of exchange differences.

10 The table includes the portfolio of Sava Pokojninska (excluding investment contracts) and Sava Penzisko Društvo (excluding the return on the funds because the assets managed by Sava Penzisko Društvo are not disclosed in its statement of financial position).

Net investment income from the pension companies' investment portfolio totalled EUR -0.5 million in 1–3/2020. Lower net investment income was largely due to fair value changes for disposals of investments. The investment return for the period was -6.8%.

2.5 Other

This "other" segment comprises the subsidiaries Sava Infond, TBS Team 24 and Illyria Hospital, and the two associates ZTSR and G2I (consolidated using the equity method). Sava Infond was first included in the consolidated account of the Sava Insurance Group on 30 June 2019, which means that it was not included in the income statement for 1–3/2019. The "other" segment reduced the consolidated result for 1–3/2020 by EUR 67,607, mainly due to interest expenses on subordinated debt (EUR 0.7 million). The "other" segment improved the consolidated result for 1–3/2019 by EUR 107,961.

3 Financial position of the Sava Insurance Group

As at 31 March 2020, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,137.9 million, an decrease of EUR 19.9 million from year-end 2019. The balance on the investment portfolio was chiefly impacted by the negative fair value reserve and negative cash flow from core business. The balance of financial investments in associates rose due to the acquisition of DCB.

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

Composition of fixed-income investments

As at 31 March 2020, fixed-income investments accounted for 90.1% of the portfolio, down 1.1 p.p. compared to the end of the previous year. The following movements in the structure of fixed-income investments have been seen:

  • lower exposure to government bonds and government-guaranteed corporate bonds of EUR 57.5 million (a 4.2-point decline in the proportion of fixed-income investments), largely due to investments reaching their maturity;
  • increase in cash and cash equivalents of EUR 25.7 million (a 2.4-point rise in the proportion of fixed-income investments).

3.1.2 Assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk

Assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk is a major asset item (8). Most unit-linked products of the Sava Insurance Group are marketed by Zavarovalnica Sava.

Assets 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 2020, assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk totalled EUR 200.0 million, of which EUR 187.7 million was financial investments and EUR 12.3 million was cash and cash equivalents. Assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk declined by EUR 31.3 million compared to the previous year end as the result of falling asset prices.

3.1.3 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

The reinsurers' and co-insurers' share of technical provisions (9) increased by EUR 13.6 million, or 35.2%, compared to 31 December 2019. Unearned premiums increased by EUR 11.4 million (seasonal movement – set aside for contracts effective as of 1 January), and claims provisions rose by EUR 2.1 million on account of several large retroceded claims on the Slovenian non-life portfolio.

3.1.4 Investment contract assets

The investment contract assets item (9) includes liability fund assets relating to the group of life cycle funds MOJI Skladi Življenjskega Cikla (MY Life-cycle Funds) 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 2020, investment contract assets totalled EUR 146.3 million, down 3.2% from 31 December 2019. The return achieved in the first quarter was negative, at EUR 8.7 million. Positive effects were derived from the difference between inflows and outflows of EUR 0.8 million (in the first quarter of 2020, inflows totalled EUR 4.2 million, outflows EUR 3.4 million) and EUR 2.3 million from annuity policies, which are classified as financial insurance contracts because of the insufficient level of risk transfer.

As at 31 March 2020, investment contract assets accounted for 91.6% of total assets relating to investment contracts; the rest were receivables, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents.

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

3.1.5 Receivables

Receivables (11) increased by 22.8%, or EUR 36.3 million, compared to year-end 2019 (compared to 31 December 2018: increase of 27.3% or EUR 38.4 million). A higher increase in receivables is normal in the first three months.

Increases were recorded in all types of receivables. The largest increase was with receivables arising from direct insurance business, up EUR 35.1 million, or 25.1%, compared to 31 December 2019; however, the lion's share of this increase (EUR 40.1 million) relates to not-past-due receivables, and there was a decrease in past-due up to 180 days of EUR 5.9 million. In absolute terms, the largest increase was in the non-life segment in Slovenia (increase of EUR 17.6 million; 1–3/2019: EUR 18.6 million), in the reinsurance segment (an increase of EUR 17.1 million; 1–3/2019: EUR 16.4 million) and in the international non-life segment (an increase of EUR 2.3 million; 1–3/2019: of EUR 3.3 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.

3.2.1 Equity

Equity (1) decreased by 1.9%, or EUR 7.3 million, compared to year-end 2019. In the period 1–3/2020, equity shrank as the result of a decline in the fair value reserve relating to available-for-sale financial assets. The net profit for the year had a positive impact on the change in equity, of EUR 10.3 million.

3.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item on the liabilities side. The figure as at 31 March 2020 was an increase of 3.5%, or EUR 32.6 million, over year-end 2019. The largest growth (EUR 45.4 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 2020 will they be comparable to the unearned premiums as at 31 December 2019.

Development of consolidated gross technical provisions

EUR 31 Mar 2020 31 Dec 2019 Index
Gross unearned premiums 253,302,466 207,895,397 121.8
Gross mathematical provisions 198,996,763 211,877,103 93.9
Gross provision for outstanding claims 502,158,874 502,914,277 99.8

Gross technical provisions 966,507,992 933,952,709 103.5

The gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 8.9%, or EUR 15.2 million, compared to year-end 2019. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as the result of the annual dynamics of underwriting reinsurance business (increase of EUR 15.5 million; 1–3/2019: of EUR 12.5 million).

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life segment grew by 5.7%, or EUR 30.5 million, compared to year-end 2019. Of this, unearned premiums grew – in line with business growth – by EUR 29.5 million (1–3/2019: growth of EUR 31.8 million).

Gross mathematical provisions decreased by 6.1% (or EUR 12.9 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 0.8 million compared to year-end 2019.

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

The gross provisions associated with unit-linked life business (4) totalled EUR 190.4 million as at 31 March 2020 and shrank by 13.7%, or EUR 30.2 million, mainly due to the fall in the value of fund assets and portfolio movements relating to death and maturity benefits paid.

3.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 146.2 million as at 31 March 2020, down 3.2%, or EUR 4.8 million, from year-end 2019. Their movement is in line with the investment contract assets, driven largely by new premium contributions, payouts and changes in the unit prices of funds, which fell in the three months of the year.

3.2.5 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities from operating activities (9) increased by EUR 13.6 million from year-end 2019, reflecting renewals of annual reinsurance contracts and consequently increased liabilities from reinsurance and co-insurance business, which rose by EUR 9.9 million.

3.3 Capital structure

As at 31 March 2020, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 377.5 million in equity. Subordinated debt amounted to EUR 75.5 million. The ratio of debt to equity financing was 20.2%.

3.4 Cash flow

In the period 1–3/2020, the Sava Insurance Group's net cash from operating activities was negative, at EUR 13.2 million (1–3/2019: negative net cash of EUR 13.0 million).

In 1–3/2020, the Sava Insurance Group recorded a positive cash flow from financing activities of EUR 34.0 million (largely because of higher inflows from disposals than disbursements for purchase of long-term financial investments); in 1–3/2019, cash flow was positive, at EUR 62.2 million.

Net cash and cash equivalents in the period 1–3/2020 decreased by EUR 29.3 as the result of lower inflows from disposals of financial investments.

3.5 Sava Re rating profile

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

Number of employees by Sava Insurance Group member

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

5 Risk management

In their operation, the Group companies are exposed to various categories of risk: insolvency risk, underwriting risk, risks associated with policies where policyholders bear the investment risk, risk associated with investment contracts, financial risk, operational risk and strategic risk. The Group companies identify, measure, manage, monitor and report on these risks in line with prescribed risk management processes. In addition, these risk management processes are set up at the Group level. The processes and methods of measuring and managing risk, and the exposure of the Group to the various categories of risk are detailed in the Sava Insurance Group annual report 2019 and are therefore not repeated in this report.

5.1 Capital adequacy and capital management at the Sava Insurance Group

The Sava Insurance Group calculates its solvency position using the Solvency II standard formula. The most recent calculation of the Group's solvency position as at 31 December 2019 indicates that the Group is well capitalised and has a solvency ratio of 220%. The Group's Solvency Capital Requirement (Group SCR) totalled EUR 237.7 million as at 31 December 2019, and eligible own funds to meet the Group SCR were EUR 522.0 million. Details on the valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's SCR as at 31 December 2019 are set out in the "Solvency and financial condition report of the Sava Insurance Group 2019" available on the Sava Re website.

The Group has a strong solvency ratio and its insolvency risk is small. Due to the impact of the Covida-19 outbreak, we have rerun the assessment of the Group's solvency position as at 31 December 2020. Taking into account the assessed impact of Covida-19, the Group maintains a high solvency ratio, and its solvency is not compromised.

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. Because the Group has an adequate retrocession programme in place, 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 relating to non-life (re)insurance business of one p.p. would decrease/increase its profit before tax by EUR 1.24 million (31 March 2019: EUR 1.03 million).

The Group's exposure to underwriting risk did not change significantly in the period 1–3/2020 compared to year-end 2019. In the first quarter of 2020, there was no material increase in the Group's exposure to underwriting risk due to Covid-19.

5.3 Investment portfolio risk

In their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to investment portfolio risk such as investment property risk, and 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 146.3 million as at 31 March 2020, up EUR 4.9 million from 31 December 2019.

The volatility in financial investments in the first quarter had an impact on the valuation of financial investments, resulting in a significant effect on return. The fall in the value of financial instruments in the first quarter put pressure on returns on portfolios of financial investments and resulted in increased provisions set aside to cover potential losses incurred in the event of failure to realise guaranteed returns.

The risk of failure to achieve the guaranteed return increase in the period.

Traditional and unit-linked life insurance contracts

With regard to its traditional life insurance and unit-linked life insurance business with a guaranteed unit value (value of a unit of the fund), the Group is exposed to the risk of failure to realise the guaranteed return. Taking into account the realised book return on financial investments and the guaranteed return on the liabilities side in the period 1–3/2020, the effect of not achieving the guaranteed return totals EUR 133.8 thousand.

5.3.2 Investment property risk

As at 31 March 2020, the value of the Group's investments exposed to property risk stood at EUR 20.6 million (31 December 2019: EUR 20.7 million) and did not substantially change compared to the previous period.

In addition to investment property, real estate funds shown as alternative investments under financial investments are also exposed to the risk.

The risk of alternative investments has been determined based on stressed values as prescribed under Solvency II regulations for the capital adequacy calculation. We assumed a 15% decrease in the value of investment property and real estate funds.

A shock would reduce the value of the Group's investments exposed to investment property risk by EUR 3.1 million (31 December 2019: EUR 3.1 million).

Property risk remained at approximately the same level.

5.3.3 Market risk

As part of market risks, the Group makes assessments of interest rate risk, equity risk and currency risk.

The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk as at 31 March 2020 of EUR 1,187.2 million shrank by EUR 54.2 million since 31 December 2019.

Interest rate risk

The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 31 March 2020 was EUR 1,034.4 million (31 December 2019: EUR 1,100.0 million). Of this, EUR 675.8 million (31 December 2019: EUR 706.6 million) relates to assets of non-life insurers and the reinsurer and EUR 358.5 million (31 December 2019: EUR 393.5 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life insurance and reinsurance assets was 3.87 years as at 31 March 2019, whereas the expected maturity of non-life and reinsurance obligations was 2.17 years.

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 4.62 years as at 31 March 2020, and the expected duration of life insurance obligations was 7.2 years.

Interest rate risk increased moderately in the latest reporting period.

Equity risk

The value of investments that the Company included in the equity risk calculation totalled EUR 43.1 million as at 31 March 2020 (31 December 2019: EUR 42.9 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 4.3 million (31 December 2019: EUR 4.3 million).

We estimate that there has been no material increase in the risk in the period despite considerable volatility.

Currency risk

The Company monitors the matching of assets and liabilities by both the ALM aspect (by accounting currency) and the accounting aspect (by transaction currency). As at 31 March 2020, the position was 99.3% matched according to the ALM aspect (31 December 2019: 99.6%) and 96.0% matched according to the accounting aspect (31 December 2019: 96.0%).

Matching risk remained on about the same level in the period.

5.3.4 Credit risk

As at 31 March 2020, fixed-income investments rated "A" or better accounted for 57.2% of the total fixed-income portfolio (31 December 2019: 60.9%). In the reporting period 2020, the share of the bestrated investments dropped moderately compared to the prior year-end. This is due to the increased balance of deposits and cash equivalents (unrated).

As at 31 March 2020, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 357.7 million, representing 29.6% of financial investments (31 December 2019: EUR 388.4 million; 30.7%), with the largest exposure of the Group to any single issuer being the Republic of Slovenia (31 March 2020: EUR 74.2 million; 6.1%; 31/12/2019: EUR 79.2 million; 6.3%), while the maximum single exposure to any commercial issuer was 3.8% of financial investments.

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 1–3/2020.

The Covid-19 outbreak led to reduced economic activity and destabilised financial markets, affecting the credit risk relating to the portfolio of financial investments. We estimate that credit risk increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

5.3.5 Liquidity risk

In the reporting period, the Company did not change the monitoring or management of liquidity risk. In addition, the Company did not register any situation associated with the Covid-19 outbreak that would affect the provision of liquidity in a material way. We assess that liquidity risk did rise moderately as the result of the pandemic but remains low.

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.

Operational risks are not among the Group's most significant risks. Owing to Covid-19, the Group's exposure to operational risk grew significantly in the first quarter. The Group immediately started analysing developments and adopted relevant measures. All Group companies prepared necessary measures to ensure the smooth running of all critical business functions and processes. Processes were set up so that almost all employees could work from home to better protect them from the virus so they could continue to service customers and business partners.

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 subsidiaries 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 2020, the Group's exposure to strategic risk significantly increased due to Covid-19. There was in increase in the following risks: risk that realised Group results deviate from planned results, deterioration in macroeconomic conditions leading to reduced profitability for the Group, and risk that the local political situation in a country where a Group member is based spills over to other Group companies. The Group immediately started analysing developments leading to the adoption of relevant measures: monitoring developments in the Group's companies with immediate response where necessary; continuous monitoring of sales and business performance; analysis of potential impacts of Covid-19; and preparing a revised strategic plan.

5.6 Risk exposure up to year-end 2020

The main risks that the Group is exposed to remain underwriting risk, followed by market risk. As the realisation of underwriting risk is fortuitous, these could be realised to a larger extent as the result of an increased number of catastrophic events (in Slovenia and abroad); however, we do not expect a material increase in underwriting risk due to Covid-19. In the first quarter of 2020, we registered a fall in the value of investments as the result of the situation in financial markets resulting as a response to Covid-19. Until the year-end financial risk could be realised to a larger extent because of unfavourable movements in financial markets. The likelihood of such a scenario is heightened because of Covid-19 in view of the unpredictable situation in financial markets. Risk also arise from the general deterioration in the economic situation and the impact on some industries from restricted movement and shutdown as well as any associated consequences. By the end of 2020, we therefore expect exposure to strategic risk to remain high, whereas operational risk is expected to gradually decrease.

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 2020 as compared to both the first three months of 2019 and the year-end 2019.

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 2019.

The financial statements with notes as at and for the three months to 31 March 2020 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements as at 31 March 2020 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2019.

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 1–3/2020 other than the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on operations, which has been discussed at length in the Company's report published on 17 April 2020 and is detailed in section 5 "Risk management".

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 7.5 million as at 31 March 2020. Changes in the balance of statement of financial position items that did not exceed the set materiality threshold have not been disaggregated in the interim financial statements. Disclosures and notes that the Group is required to present under IAS 34 or statutory requirements are given in the report, although 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).

Business is broken down by operating segment: reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions and the "other" segment. Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, a common performance indicator for all segments being net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs. 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.

7.8.5 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

EUR 31 Mar 2020 31 Dec 2019
From unearned premiums 22,145,608 10,705,397
From provisions for claims outstanding 30,057,085 27,915,142
Total 52,202,693 38,620,539

The reinsures' share of unearned premiums increased by EUR 11.4 million, which partly stems from seasonal movements – set aside for contracts effective as of 1 January 2020. The reinsurers' share of claims provisions grew by EUR 2.1 million, attributable to certain large reinsurance claims of the Slovenian non-life portfolio.

7.8.6 Investment contract assets

Investment contract assets shrank by EUR 4.9 million compared to year-end 2019, chiefly because of the negative return realised in the first three months of 2020.

7.8.7 Receivables

Receivables grew by EUR 36.3 million compared to the balance as at year-end 2019, 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.

Compared to year-end 2019, the balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 19.9 million. The balance of cash and cash equivalents at the end of the year was higher because of the lack of favourable reinvestment opportunities in financial markets. Proceeds from maturities and disposals were not fully reinvested but held in transaction accounts.

7.8.9 Fair value reserve

The fair value reserve comprises the change in fair value of available-for-sale financial assets.

The decline in the fair value reserve is mainly the result of the fall in the market prices of available-forsale assets valued through the fair value reserve.

7.8.11 Subordinated liabilities

In October 2019, Sava Re issued subordinated bonds with a scheduled maturity of 2039, ISIN code XS2063427574 and with an early recall option for 7 November 2029.

The total issue size is EUR 75 million. Until the early recall option of the bond, the annual interest rate is fixed at 3.75% and the coupon is payable annually. If the issuer does not exercise the early recall option, the annual interest rate after the date of the early recall will be 4.683% over the three-month Euribor, with coupons payable quarterly.

The bond is admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. As at 31 March 2020, the market price of the bond was 100.4470% (market value EUR 76,376,546.60).

The effective interest rate on the bond issued (calculated from the early recall option) is 3.86%.

7.8.12 Technical provisions

Technical provisions increased by EUR 32.6 million, or 3.5%, compared to 31 December 2019. The largest increase was recorded in gross unearned premiums (EUR 45.4 million) and mainly relates to the establishment of high unearned premiums for coverages for which the annual premiums were accounted for at the inception of the coverage and partly to the growth in non-life insurance business. The gross provision for outstanding claims shrank by EUR 0.8 million, the amount by which uses, releases and exchange differences exceeded provisions newly set aside. The gross provision for traditional life policies decreased by EUR 12.9 million because the decline due to maturity benefits exceeded growth owing to growth in the portfolio of traditional life insurance business, including pension annuity business in the distribution phase. The gross provisions relating to unit-linked business shrank by EUR 30.2 million due to payouts and falling fund unit prices.
