The operating revenue of the Sava Insurance Group accounts for 26.0% of the full-year 2021 target figure.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Sava Insurance Group wrote EUR 214.2 million in gross premiums in the (re)insurance segments (excluding annuities), up 9.0% year on year. The growth in gross premiums written was influenced by the inclusion of Vita in the Group (EUR 26.9 million). If Vita were excluded, gross premiums written would be 4.7% lower. The business that Zavarovalnica Sava writes in collaboration with other EU-based companies (FoS business) shrank in the first quarter of 2021. If this business were excluded, the growth in gross premiums written would have been 12.4% (FoS premiums fell by EUR 5.6 million). Gross premiums written in the (re)insurance segment reached 31.3% of the 2021 full-year plan.
The net profit for the period was EUR 23.5 million, which is 44.3% of the lower end of the planned range for 2021 and a 127.9% increase year on year. The growth in net profit was driven by improvements in all operating segments.
The net expense ratio for the first quarter of 2021 was better than planned. The improvement in the expense ratio was chiefly due to the life and asset management segments. The net incurred loss ratio was also better than planned, with improvements in the reinsurance and non-life segments. The return on the investment portfolio remained flat year on year but lower than planned for 2021.

Achievement of planned operating revenue
Regarding its major strategic focus areas, the Group companies have continued developing customercentric solutions based on both perceived needs in the Group and global innovation trends. In response to the changed operating circumstances due to Covid-19, many activities focused on remote solutions to offer customers a number of different communication channels. Besides improving access to services, the companies put much effort into customising services and improving user experience. Key areas of development include omni-channel communication, online solutions, business intelligence, self-care solutions, and enhanced personal consulting and customer relationships.
IT transformation projects involved the replacement of the central investment management system at Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Re, which is scheduled to be completed for the remaining Group companies in 2021. Regarding core business systems, the replacement of two systems for the portfolio of former Ergo in Croatia was completed in 2020. In 2021, the replacement of the core business solution at the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava is planned, with preparatory activities also underway at Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Re. Regarding business reporting, we are working on upgrades and redesigns to align with regulations, current business needs and our customer-centric orientation. At the beginning of the second quarter of 2021, setting up cyber security systems 24/7 (SOC) was completed in most Group companies. The core companies were equipped in the final quarter of 2020. IT infrastructure and solutions are being upgraded to the extent necessary to support strategic projects.
In addition to producing effective organic growth, the Sava Insurance Group continued to grow through acquisitions in 2020. The acquisition of the life insurance company Vita was completed in May 2020; as a result, the Sava Insurance Group improved its market position in Slovenia. This acquisition is also an important step for the Group towards strengthening partnerships with banks and developing the bancassurance sales channel for marketing insurance products, which constitutes one of the Group's main strategic focus area. Our acquisition activities also continued in the private healthcare sector, which the Group has been developing within the company ZTSR. In the first quarter of 2021, Sava Re acquired an additional share in TBS Team 24, which carries on assistance services in connection with motor, health and home owners insurance.
The Sava Insurance Group adopted a sustainable development strategy for 2020–2022, stepping onto the path of introducing ESG criteria into business and decision-making processes. Accordingly, during the strategic period, the focus will be on implementing these criteria in a number of areas: investment management, insurance and reinsurance underwriting, development of insurance services and purchasing.
As regards investment management, on 10 March 2021, the Group posted on its website a sustainability-related disclosure on its policy of integration of sustainability risks in investment decision-making, the integration of sustainability risks into remuneration policies and a principal adverse impact statement, in accordance with "Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 on sustainability-related disclosure in the financial services sector". In line with its adopted strategy, the Group is active in social responsibility projects, with particular emphasis on corporate volunteerism.
In line with its adopted strategy, the Group is active in social responsibility projects, with particular emphasis on corporate volunteerism.
The Group reported on the implementation of its strategy in its 2020 sustainability report posted on its website on 8 April 2021.

The Slovenian SBITOP stock index rose by 9.98% in the first three months of 2021, whereas the Sava Re share price gained 22.2%.
A comparison among European insurance companies (see following graph) illustrates how successful the first quarter 2021 was for the Sava Re share, as it performed significantly above the average of the European insurance sector. The European insurance sector grew by 12.81% in 2021, which is almost 10 p.p. slower than Sava Re.
Movement in the POSR share price in the period 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 compared to the SBITOP index and the STOXX Europe 600 insurance index in % (1 April 2020 = 100)

In the first quarter, the turnover for the POSR share was EUR 6.7 million. The average daily turnover for the share in this period was EUR 108.6 thousand. The year 2020 was characterised by a strong rise in turnover in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, the turn in global stock markets and low interest rates.

On 2 June 2016, Sava Re received a notice from Adris Grupa d.d., Vladimira Nazora 1, 52210 Rovinj, Croatia, advising Sava Re of a change in major holdings in Sava Re. On 2 June 2016, Adris Grupa, including its subsidiaries with fiduciary accounts, held 3,278,049 POSR shares, representing 19.04% and 21.15% of issued and outstanding shares, respectively. The Company has received no subsequent notice of any change in holding from Adris Grupa d.d.
As at 31 March 2021, the first five of the largest Sava Re shareholders reached the 5% threshold (qualifying holding in accordance with article 77 of the Slovenian Takeover Act, ZPre-1).

In the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 March 2021, Sava Re did not repurchase its own shares. The total number of own shares as at 31 March 2021 was 1,721,966, representing 10% less one share of all issued shares.
The Company did not distribute any dividends in the first quarter of 2021. On 5 March 2021, Sava Re received a letter from the Insurance Supervision Agency (Agency) stating that due to the uncertain situation regarding the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic and the associated uncertain consequences for the economy and the insurance sector, the Agency expected that, until 30 September 2021, insurance undertakings, reinsurance undertakings and pension companies suspend dividend payments. Furthermore, the recommendation of the Agency set certain criteria for companies where,
2 Source: KDD d.d. central securities register and own calculations.
contrary to the recommendation, the management and supervisory boards decide to propose the appropriation of the distributable profit prior to the above date, and required such companies to demonstrate compliance with the principle of prudence in their decisions. On 2 April 2021, Sava Re received another letter from the Agency amending the recommendation of 5 March 2021 regarding the payment of dividends. To prove its ability to pay dividends in 2021, Sava Re compiled documents for the Agency to demonstrate its financial stability, solvency, liquidity and resilience to stress scenarios (including Covid-19 impacts). Based on the Agency's strictest criterion, the dividend must not exceed the average dividend paid in the period 2017–2019, which is EUR 0.85 per share. Furthermore, the Agency set a condition that, in order to pay dividends, companies must have made a profit in both the financial years 2019 and 2020, with the parent companies taking into consideration the financial position of both the parent as well as the group of companies they control when deciding on the payment of dividends. The Sava Insurance Group generated a net profit of EUR 50.2 million and EUR 56.4 million in 2019 and 2020, respectively. While Sava Re made a loss in 2020, this is due to a recommendation (issued in 2020) to insurance companies, including Sava Re's subsidiaries, to use a very cautious approach regarding the payment of dividends. If Sava Re had been paid dividends by its subsidiary insurance companies in 2020, it would not have posted an operating loss.
The supervisory and management boards have prepared a draft resolution for the general meeting to the effect that shareholders be paid a dividend of EUR 0.85 gross per share, in total EUR 13,173,041.60, or 23.4% of the Group's 2020 net profit. The general meeting to decide on this proposal is scheduled for 25 May 2021.

** In the first quarter of 2021, an amount of EUR 0.3 million was recognised on the first consolidation as profit of the equity-accounted associate company.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement
In the first quarter of 2021, 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: negative effect on the underwriting result of EUR 1.9 million (first quarter of 2020: EUR 1.4 million positive effect); positive effect on the investment result of EUR 2.2 million (first quarter of 2020: EUR 1.1 million negative effect). The total positive effect of exchange differences on the first quarter of 2021 result was thus EUR 0.3 million (first quarter of 2020: a positive effect of EUR 0.1 million).

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

The income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are presented 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 non-Group companies.

Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; reinsurance
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, improved in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, mainly as the result of lower claims incurred (as explained later in this section). The investment result, excluding the effect of exchange differences, for the first quarter of 2021 was lower year on year because of more modest interest income and lower gains on the disposal of investments.

| Gross premiums written | 40,170,140 | 40,176,655 | 100.0 |
| Net premiums earned | 23,391,399 | 23,238,933 | 100.7 |
Gross premiums written in this segment in the first quarter of 2021 were roughly the same year on year. The slight decline in gross premiums written was due to the lower premium volume with coverage from 1 January 2021. Non-proportional reinsurance business saw 2.3% growth in gross premiums written, whereas non-proportional business dropped by 0.5%. Underwriting year 2021 premiums decreased by 5.9% compared to 2020, or EUR 2.0 million; prior underwriting year premiums increased by EUR 2.4 million, primarily driven by non-proportional business. The growth in premiums earned was in line with gross premium growth.

| Net claims incurred | 13,292,138 | 17,970,310 | 74.0 |
In the first quarter of 2021, exchange differences had an upward impact on net claims incurred in the amount of EUR 2.0 million (first quarter of 2020: downward impact of EUR 1.3 million). Net claims incurred, excluding the effect of exchange differences, fell by 26.0%, primarily because of a favourable development of previous underwriting years and reinsurance protection, which had a more favourable effect in 2021 than in the first quarter of 2020. The net incurred loss ratio relating to the reinsurance segment (excluding the effect of exchange differences) improved by 20.1 p.p. year on year, to 56.6% (first quarter of 2020: 76.8%).

| Acquisition costs | 8,237,998 | 7,335,598 | 112.3 |

| Net operating expenses | 6,664,193 | 5,967,590 | 111.7 |
In the first quarter of 2021, acquisition costs rose by 12.3% (at roughly unchanged gross premiums written). Consequently, acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written rose by 2.2 p.p. to 20.5% compared to the first quarter of 2020. The average value of the ratio was around 20% over the recent quarters.
The change in deferred acquisition costs was approximately the same as in the first quarter of 2020 and moved in line with unearned premiums.
Other operating expenses decreased by 8.3% reflecting lower personnel costs.
The net expense ratio increased by 2.8 p.p. in the first quarter of 2021 even though other operating expenses declined, because acquisition costs grew faster than premiums earned. In the first quarter of 2021, acquisition costs, including the change in deferred acquisition costs, were up by 15.2% year on year.

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio; reinsurance
Income/expenses include income/expenses relating to investment property. In the income statement these are part of the "other income/expenses" item.

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 the first quarter of 2021, net investment income relating to the investment portfolio totalled EUR 0.8 million, down EUR 0.4 million year on year. This was primarily due to lower interest income and lower gains on the disposal of investments. In the same period last year, net investment income benefitted on account of the reversal of previous impairment losses made in the amount of EUR 0.4 million. The investment return for the period was 1.4%.
The non-life segment comprises the operations of the following companies:
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 presented in the notes to the financial statements, section 7.7 "Segment reporting".
Composition of the consolidated gross income statement; non-life insurance business

The non-life segment recorded a EUR 8.4 million improvement in the consolidated pre-tax result in 1– 3/2021 compared to the same period last year. The lion's share of the improvement, EUR 8.1 million, was achieved in Slovenian business.
The consolidated technical result for Slovenian non-life business improved by EUR 7.8 million, chiefly as the result of a lower loss frequency during the Covid-19 pandemic. The EUR 0.1 million increase in the non-Slovenian underwriting result of non-life insurers is also the result of a more favourable claims experience due to the Covid-19 pandemic, whereas net premiums earned declined year on year.
The investment result of the Slovenian non-life segment improved by EUR 0.3 million year on year. While revenue remains at the year-on-year level, the deterioration in the financial markets in the first quarter of 2020 resulted in an increase in negative exchange differences and lower bond valuations, which translates into higher expenses for fair value changes of bonds classified as FVTPL assets. The investment result of non-Slovenian non-life insurers dropped by EUR 0.1 million because of lower interest income.
The result of other income and expenses of Slovenian non-life insurers improved by EUR 0.1 million reflecting higher financial income from the disposal of investment property and gains on the disposal of property, plant and equipment assets. The result of other income and expenses of the non-Slovenian non-life insurance companies rose by EUR 0.2 million reflecting lower "other expenses" of the Serbian non-life insurance company.

Gross non-life insurance premiums decreased by 5.1% in 1–3/2021 as the result of a drop in gross nonlife premiums written by all non-life companies in the Group. Net premiums earned remained at the year-on-year level, chiefly because of the decline in gross unearned premiums relating to FoS business in the first quarter of 2021, whereas, in the first quarter of 2020, FoS business grew reflecting premium growth.
In the first quarter of 2021, gross motor premiums grew by EUR 1.7 million, or 2.6%. The increase in gross motor premiums of EUR 4.7 million relates to gross non-life premiums of the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava without FoS business. Growth was recorded mainly in commercial lines because of changed payment schedules and in personal lines as the result of more policies sold and higher average premiums. In the first quarter of 2021, gross motor premiums arising from FoS business dropped by EUR 2.0 million, as most motor business was cancelled due to market changes (unfavourable conditions) and greater selectivity of the company. Gross motor premiums also dropped abroad, by EUR 0.9 million. The largest drop in premiums was in motor liability in the Croatian and Serbian markets. In the former case because of greater selectivity in underwriting risks, in the latter because of increasing policy acquisition costs in the market in general.
In the first quarter of 2021, gross property premiums dropped by EUR 5.3 million. The decline is almost entirely due to the decrease in gross premiums written in Slovenian property business, excluding FoS business. The decline was due to a change in the timing of accounting for the premiums of a major client.
A EUR 2.5 million drop in gross premiums written was also recorded in general liability insurance. The decline of EUR 1.6 million relates to FoS business, and the decline of EUR 0.9 million to general liability insurance excluding FoS business. The reason for the latter is changed timing of accounting for key clients and also the loss of some.
Gross premiums written relating to the insurance of ships dropped by EUR 2.0 million. This decline is entirely related to the reduction in FoS business.
The growth in gross accident insurance premiums in the amount of EUR 1.1 million relates to gross accident insurance premiums of Vita, which joined the Sava Insurance Group on 1 June 2020.

In the first quarter of 2021, consolidated gross non-life claims paid dropped by 10.4%, or EUR 6.1 million, year on year. The decline in gross non-life claims paid was pronounced in the Slovenian part of the portfolio; the non-Slovenian insurers only recorded a moderate drop.
In the first quarter of 2021, consolidated gross claims paid on Slovenian non-life business dropped by 11.4%, or EUR 5.5 million, year on year. Gross claims relating to FoS business rose by EUR 3.6 million, with the largest increase in ships and fire business. Gross claims relating to business written in Slovenia dropped, especially in motor insurance, as the result of lower claims frequency due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2020, a lockdown affecting industry and public life started in mid-March 2020, and lasted an entire quarter in 2021. As the result of the lockdown, there were fewer vehicles on the roads and consequently fewer traffic accidents occurred.
Consolidated gross claims paid relating to non-Slovenian business dropped by 5.3%. Declines were recorded especially in motor liability business as the Group recorded a major claim in this line of business in the same period last year. In addition, lower claims are the result of the Covid-19 pandemic. There was also a decline in gross assistance claims reflecting a lower number of claims reported due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Consolidated acquisition costs were up by 2.8%. Acquisition costs rose for Slovenian non-life business other than FoS business, whereas for FoS business they decreased. The acquisition costs of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers remained roughly at the level of last year. In the reporting period, the change in deferred acquisition costs declined by EUR 0.7 million year on year (but slightly increased compared to the previous year-end). In the first quarter of 2021, the change in deferred acquisition costs relating to FoS business declined by EUR 1.0 million year on year, whereas the change in deferred acquisition costs relating to other Slovenian non-life business rose by EUR 0.2 million and non-Slovenian non-life business by EUR 0.1 million.
In the first quarter of 2021, consolidated other operating expenses remained flat year on year. The Slovenian part of the Group experienced a rise because of Vita's joining the Sava Insurance Group, whereas the non-Slovenian part recorded a drop in other operating expenses. A significant drop was recorded by the Croatian branch following the streamlining of its operations.

Consolidated gross expense ratio; non-life segment
The consolidated gross expense ratio of the non-life segment rose by 1.6 p.p. The gross expense ratio of the Slovenian non-life insurers rose by 1.5 p.p., whereas the gross expense ratio of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers rose by 3.1 p.p. The rise in the gross expense ratio is primarily the result of smaller premium volume.

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (EUR); non-life segment
In the first quarter of 2021, net investment income relating to non-life insurers totalled EUR 2.1 million and remained flat year on year. The return on investment for the period was 1.4%.
The life segment comprises the operations of the following companies:
Since Vita's inclusion in the Group on 31 May 2020, Vita's business that is in substance life business has been included in the Slovenian life segment.

In the first quarter of 2021, gross premiums written by the life insurance part of Zavarovalnica Sava in Slovenia dropped by 5.6% year on year. The company did not manage to write sufficient new business to fully offset premiums lost due to policy maturities, surrenders and deaths.
In the first quarter of 2021, gross premiums written by the Group's non-Slovenian life insurers dropped by 11.9% year on year, which is the result of a decline in the gross premiums of the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava, which in the first quarter 2021 wrote 45.9% less in gross premiums after it reduced its volume through the banking channel and streamlined its portfolio to improve profitability.

In the first quarter of 2021, gross claims paid in Slovenia dropped by 1.6% year on year despite the inclusion of Vita in the Group. The life insurance part of Zavarovalnica Sava in Slovenia recorded fewer maturities year on year, especially in traditional life policies, specifically EUR 11.0 million, a decline of EUR 6.1 million year on year. Unit-linked life business, where policyholders bear the investment risk, paid out EUR 7.6 million in survival benefits, down EUR 1.2 million year on year.
The reason for the large difference between net claims incurred, including the change in net other provisions, and unit-linked provisions of Slovenian companies is the movement in unit prices of unitlinked life funds.
The gross claims paid of non-Slovenian insurers also dropped in the first quarter of 2021 year on year, by 2.2%. This is because of lower claims of the Croatian part of Zavarovalnica Sava in the first quarter 2021, which paid out fewer survival benefits year on year. The other two non-Slovenian Group insurers recorded higher claims, especially Sava Životno Osiguranje (SRB), up 90.2% due to increased mortality related to Covid-19.

In the first quarter of 2021, policy acquisition expenses rose by 85.9% year on year because of the inclusion of Vita in the consolidated accounts. The difference in the change in deferred acquisition costs between the years chiefly relates to Slovenian life business.
In the first three months of 2021, other operating expenses rose by 23.7% year on year, mainly due to the integration of Vita into the Group, while most other companies reduced their operating expenses.

Consolidated gross expense ratio; life segment
The consolidated gross expense ratio dropped by 9.6 p.p. year on year, as the result of the inclusion of Vita, which, thanks to its specific sales model, operates on a lower gross expense ratio. Life insurance companies outside Slovenia saw a decline in their gross expense ratio of 4.1 p.p. (gross operating expenses declined faster than gross premiums written).
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 the first quarter of 2021, net investment income relating to life business totalled EUR 2.8 million, up EUR 1.3 million year on year. The increase in net investment income is partly due to the inclusion of the Vita portfolio as of 31 May 2020. The return on the life insurance investment portfolio was 1.7% in the reporting period.

Fund inflows into the group of funds of the Slovenian pension company increased by 4.6% in the first quarter 2021 year on year. This was driven primarily by the increase in the average contribution. In the first quarter of 2021, inflows into the mandatory and voluntary funds of the North Macedonian pension company dropped by 1.3% year on year, with lower inflows into the voluntary fund due to the Covid-19 crisis, and roughly flat inflows into the mandatory fund year on year. Net inflows into the mutual funds of the Slovenian asset management company totalled EUR 14.5 million in the first quarter of 2021 (first quarter of 2020: EUR -4.2 million).
The liability funds of the Slovenian pension company achieved a 1.1% return in the first quarter of 2021 (first quarter of 2020: -6.0%); the mandatory and voluntary pension funds managed by the North Macedonian pension company achieved a return of 2.8% (first quarter of 2020: -4.9%); the Slovenian company for managing mutual funds achieved a return of 5.7% on mutual funds (first quarter of 2020: -15.9%). The negative returns generated in the first quarter of last year were due to significantly unfavourable developments in the financial markets related to the pandemic.

The pensions and asset management segment recorded a EUR 1.3 million improvement in the consolidated pre-tax profit for the first quarter of 2021 compared to the same period last year. This was chiefly contributed by Sava Pokojninska, which made a loss of EUR 0.8 million in the first quarter of last year because of markedly unfavourable movements in financial markets due to Covid-19 and the setting of a provision for failure to achieve guaranteed returns. All companies making up this segment improved their results in the first quarter of 2021 year on year.
Income, expenses and net investment income relating to the investment portfolio (EUR); pensions segment12

In the first quarter of 2021, net investment income relating to the portfolio of the pension companies totalled EUR 0.2 million, up EUR 0.7 million year on year, chiefly on account of lower expenses for the change in fair value of FVTPL assets (first quarter of 2021: EUR 0.01 million; first quarter of 2020: EUR 0.8 million). The investment return for the period was 1.7%.
The "other" segment comprises the subsidiaries TBS Team 24 and S Estate, and the two equityaccounted associates ZTSR and G2I.
TBS Team 24 contributed EUR 0.21 million to the consolidated result of the segment in the first quarter of 2021 (first quarter of 2020: EUR 0.14 million).

As at 31 March 2021, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,557.4 million, an increase of EUR 22.1 million from year-end 2020. The growth in the investment portfolio was mainly affected by the cash flow from core (re)insurance business. Financial investments in associates increased by EUR 3.3 million reflecting the recapitalisation of ZTSR to prepare the company for an expansion into the healthcare sector. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is of a shortterm nature, as not all proceeds from investments that matured or were sold were reinvested in longer-term asset classes.

As at 31 March 2021, fixed-rate investments accounted for 89.3% of the portfolio, largely unchanged compared to the year-end. There were no significant changes in the asset allocation of fixed-rate investments.
Assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk are a major asset item (8). Unit-linked products in the Sava Insurance Group are marketed by Zavarovalnica Sava and Vita.
The funds of these policyholders are recorded as financial investments (mainly in mutual funds selected by policyholders) and cash. As at 31 March 2021, financial investments totalled EUR 446.7 million, and cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 12.5 million. Compared to 31 December 2020, assets increased by EUR 38.5 million, which was mainly the result of an increase in the market value of investments.
The investment contract assets item (10) includes liability fund assets relating to the group of life cycle funds that have been managed by the Sava Pokojninska pension company for the benefit of policyholders since 1 January 2016 and part of the assets of the annuity fund, the policies of which do not qualify as insurance contracts. As at 31 March 2021, investment contract assets totalled EUR 162.2 million, up 2.1% compared to 31 December 2020.
This increase was mainly due to net investment income of EUR 1.7 million, net inflows of EUR 0.6 million (in the first quarter of 2021: EUR 3.9 million of inflows and EUR 3.3 million of outflows including entry charges) and a EUR 0.7 million increase in assets backing annuity policies, which are not classified as insurance but investment contracts due to low underwriting risk. As at 31 March 2021, investments relating to investment contracts accounted for 92.9% of total investment contract assets; the rest were receivables, investment property, and cash and cash equivalents arising from investment contracts.
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 "Pensions and asset management".
Receivables (11) increased by 16.1%, or EUR 24.8 million, compared to year-end 2020 (31 March 2020: an increase of 22.8%, or EUR 36.3 million). The largest increase was with receivables arising from primary insurance business, up EUR 23.9 million, or 17.6%, compared to 31 December 2020, with a EUR 28.4 million increase in not-past-due receivables. Receivables past due more than 1 year decreased by EUR 3.0 million, and receivables past due less than 1 year by EUR 1.5 million. In absolute terms, the largest increase in receivables arising from primary insurance business was in the
reinsurance segment in Slovenia (an increase of EUR 13.0 million; 31 March 2020: EUR 16.3 million) and in the Slovenian non-life segment (an increase of EUR 10.0 million; 31 March 2020: EUR 17.1 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. This is followed by the increase in receivables arising from reinsurance and co-insurance business, up EUR 2.1 million or 34.5% from 31 December 2020. Compared to year-end 2020, other assets shrank by EUR 0.9 million, with a decline of EUR 1.3 million in the reinsurance segment because of a drop in other short-term receivables from financial investments (a decline of EUR 2.1 million).

Consolidated total equity and liabilities by type
Shareholders' equity (1) increased by 3.6%, or EUR 16.7 million, compared to year-end 2020. The net profit for the year had a positive impact on the change in shareholders' equity, of EUR 23.5 million. The fair value reserve contributed EUR 6.4 million to the decline.
Retained earnings increased year on year by EUR 56.1 million because of the allocation of the full profit for the year 2019 to this item (with no upward effect on shareholders' equity as at 31 March 2021).
Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item on the liabilities side. The balance as at 31 March 2021 was an increase of 2.2%, or EUR 27.1 million, over year-end 2020. The largest increase was in unearned premiums (up EUR 37.4 million), whereas mathematical provisions shrank by EUR 9.6 million.
Development of consolidated gross technical provisions

|---|---|---|---|
| Gross unearned premiums | 247,996,493 | 210,614,842 | 117.7 |
| Gross mathematical provisions | 456,017,835 | 465,641,679 | 97.9 |
| Gross provision for outstanding claims | 547,926,121 | 547,764,679 | 100.0 |
| Gross provision for bonuses, rebates and cancellations | 1,339,851 | 1,300,797 | 103.0 |

| Gross technical provisions | 1,260,416,012 | 1,233,312,054 | 102.2 |
Gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 10.0%, or EUR 19.1 million, compared to year-end 2020. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as the result of the annual dynamics of underwriting reinsurance business (increase of EUR 15.3 million; first quarter of 2020: EUR 15.5 million).
Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life segment grew by 3.2%, or EUR 17.7 million, compared to year-end 2020, of which the growth in unearned premiums was EUR 22.1 million (first quarter of 2020: increase of EUR 29.5 million).
Gross mathematical provisions declined by 2.1% (or EUR 9.6 million), mainly reflecting the lower balances at Zavarovalnica Sava and Vita. The other insurance companies saw a rise in provisions, and this partly offset the decline in EU-based insurers, which is a result of life policy maturities.
The provision for bonuses, rebates and cancellations account for only a small proportion and remained flat compared to 2020.
Other gross technical provisions include gross provisions for unexpired risks. These dropped by EUR 0.8 million from year-end 2020, which entirely relates to the decline in the Slovenian non-life segment.
3.2.3 Technical provisions for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk
As at 31 March 2021, gross technical provisions for unit-linked life insurance (4) totalled EUR 445.0 million, up 8.6%, or EUR 35.4 million, mainly due to portfolio growth, transfer of assets from guaranteed traditional life to unit-linked life business and movement in the funds of Vita.
Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 162.0 million as at 31 March 2021, up 2.1%, or EUR 3.4 million, from year-end 2020. Their movement is in line with investment contract assets, driven largely by new premium contributions, payouts and changes in fund unit prices.
Liabilities from operating activities (9) totalled EUR 69.5 million as at 31 March 2021, up 19.0%, or EUR 11.1 million, compared to year-end 2020 (31 March 2020: increase of EUR 13.6 million), reflecting renewals of annual reinsurance contracts, increased liabilities for reinsurance and co-insurance business, which rose by EUR 7.6 million, and EUR 2.9 million higher current tax liabilities.
As at 31 March 2021, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 476.9 million in equity and EUR 75.5 million in subordinated liabilities. In October 2019, the parent company issued subordinated bonds with a scheduled maturity of 2039 and an early recall option for 7 November 2029. The bond is admitted to trading on the regulated market of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. As at 31 March 2021, the market price of the bond was 103.4% and the market value EUR 78,631,839.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Sava Insurance Group's net cash from operating activities was positive, at EUR 44.5 million (first quarter of 2020: negative net cash of EUR 13.2 million). Positive effects on net cash came from (i) the increase in net profit for the period due to lower net claims incurred, (ii) the inclusion of Vita in the Group and (iii) increased net investment income reflecting growth of the investment portfolio. Furthermore, net cash from operating activities grew because of a slower growth in receivables year on year as the result of a slower premium growth. The increase in the change in mathematical provisions for policyholders who bear the investment risk needs to be seen in conjunction with adjustments to other financial income and expenses, including realised and unrealised gains and losses on investments of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk, and the increase in life insurance premiums; therefore, it has no material impact on the difference in net cash from operating activities.
In the same period, the Sava Insurance Group recorded negative net investment cash flow of EUR 23.9 million (first quarter of 2020: positive net cash flow of EUR 34.0 million). The negative net cash flow was due to lower proceeds from the sale of financial investments of EUR 167.7 million (first quarter of 2020: EUR 272.1 million) and lower expenses for the purchase of financial investments of EUR 193.1 million (first quarter of 2020: EUR 239.5 million). In the first quarter of 2021, net investment cash flow was negative of EUR 25.4 million (first quarter of 2020: positive cash flow of EUR 32.6 million), as the result of more intensive investment activity in the reporting period.
The Sava Insurance Group did not pay any dividends in the first quarters of 2021 or 2020. In this period, it recorded negative net financing cash flow (first quarter of 2021: EUR 1.2 million, first quarter of 2020: EUR 0.9 million) owing to long-term lease liabilities.
The closing balance of cash and cash equivalents declined by EUR 10.8 million. The net cash flow for the first quarter of 2021 was EUR 0.4 million below the year-on-year figure.

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. Vita brought along about 46 employees when joining the Group, whereas the rise in the number of employees at Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (SRB) reflects the expansion in its own sales network. The decline in the work force of the Sava Insurance Group is the result of a reduced headcount at the Croatian branch.
In their operation, the Group companies are exposed to various categories of risk: insolvency risk, underwriting risk, risk of failing to achieve guaranteed returns, market risk, credit risk, liquidity 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 2020 Sava Insurance Group annual report and are therefore not repeated in this report.
Certain risks are elevated because of the Covid-19 crisis but now that we have operated in exceptional circumstances for over a year, we have obtained a better understanding of the risk than at the onset of the pandemic. Group companies identify, monitor, analyse and manage risk on an ongoing basis at both the company and Group levels. These risks are periodically reported so that timely measures for their management can be taken. We believe that these risks are well managed by the Group. In the first quarter of 2021, Covid-19 did not have a negative impact on the underwriting or investment results of the Group.
The Sava Insurance Group calculates its solvency position using the Solvency II standard formula. The calculation of the Group's solvency position as at 31 December 2020 shows that the Group is well capitalised and has a solvency ratio of 198%. The Group's Solvency Capital Requirement (hereinafter: Group SCR) totalled EUR 287.4 million as at 31 December 2020, and eligible own funds to meet the Group SCR were EUR 567.8 million. Details on the valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's SCR as at 31 December 2020 are set out in the "Solvency and financial condition report of the Sava Insurance Group 2020" available on the Sava Re website.
The Group has a strong solvency ratio and its insolvency risk is small. Taking into account the assessed potential impacts of Covida-19, the Group assesses that, even at the end of 2021, it will maintain a high solvency ratio, and its solvency will not be compromised. Capital adequacy projections in the own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) for 2021–2023 also indicate a high solvency ratio in line with both statutory and internal criteria. The robustness of capital adequacy has also been demonstrated by stress tests and scenarios carried out.
The Group's insurance companies assume risk from policyholders and mostly transfer excess risk to Sava Re. Sava Re also assumes risk from other cedants; any excess is retroceded to other reinsurers.
The Group is exposed to the following non-life underwriting risks: premium risk, reserving risk and catastrophe risk. Its life operations are exposed to lapse risk, life expense risk and mortality 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 loss events. 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 percentage point in the first quarter of 2021, would decrease/increase its profit before tax by EUR 1.3 million in the period (first quarter of 2020: EUR 1.2 million).
The Group's exposure to underwriting risk did not change significantly in the first quarter of 2021 compared to year-end 2020. The risk of major Covid-19-related business interruption claims is elevated in accepted reinsurance business written in Anglo-Saxon markets and in FoS insurance business written in the Republic of Ireland. At year-end 2020, provisions were also set aside for potential legal defence costs that could be incurred based on the current circumstances. These remained at the same level in the first quarter compared to the year end. To date, we have perceived no increase in risk in other portfolios or with regard to trip cancellation, event cancellation or other potential Covid-19-related claims.
In their financial operations, individual Group companies are exposed to financial risks comprising market, liquidity and credit risk as well as the risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns on life business.
As part of market risk, the Group makes assessments of interest rate risk, equity risk, property risk and currency risk.
The investment portfolio sensitive to market risk as at 31 March 2021 of EUR 1,630.9 million grew by EUR 15.3 million since 31 December 2020.
The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 31 March 2021 was EUR 1,413.3 million (31 December 2020: EUR 1,425.9 million). Of this, EUR 709.1 million (31 December 2020: EUR 689.9 million) relates to non-life (re)insurance assets, and EUR 704.1 million (31 December 2020: EUR 735.9 million) to assets of life insurers.
The average maturity of non-life insurance and reinsurance assets was 4.35 years as at 31 March 2021, whereas the expected maturity of non-life and reinsurance obligations was 2.04 years.
The average maturity of life insurance assets was 6.17 years as at 31 March 2021, and the average duration of life insurance obligations was 6.11 years.
In the first quarter of 2021, interest rate risk remained at approximately the same level as at year-end 2020.
The value of investments that the Company included in the equity risk calculation totalled EUR 82.7 million as at 31 March 2021 (31 December 2020: EUR 74.5 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 8.2 million (31 December 2020: EUR 7.4 million).
We assess that the risk increased slightly in the first quarter of 2021 as the result of rising stock prices and a somewhat larger exposure.
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 2021, the position was 98.7% matched according to the ALM aspect (31 December 2020: 98.4%) and 96.5% matched as at 31 March 2021 according to the accounting aspect (31 December 2020: 96.2%).
Matching risk remained at about the same level in the period compared to year-end 2020.
As at 31 March 2021, the value of the Group's investments exposed to property risk stood at EUR 30.5 million (31 December 2020: EUR 30.5 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 was determined based on stressed values. We assumed a 15% decrease in the value of investment property and real estate funds. The selected shock would reduce the value of the Group's investments sensitive to investment property risk by EUR 4.6 million (31 December 2020: EUR 4.6 million).
Property risk relating to investment property remained at approximately the same level as at year-end of 2020.
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 investments covering investment contract liabilities totalled EUR 162.2 million as at 31 March 2021, up EUR 3.4 million from 31 December 2020.
The risk of failing to achieve guaranteed returns remained on the same level as at year-end 2020.
The Group is exposed to the risk of failure to realise the guaranteed NAVPS (net asset value per share) on its traditional life business and unit-linked life business with a guaranteed return. The return on financial investments realised fell short of the guaranteed return on the liabilities side. The shortfall for the first quarter of 2021 was EUR 65.0 thousand (first quarter of 2020: shortfall of EUR 133.8 thousand).
As at 31 March 2021, investment grade fixed-rate investments accounted for 85.3% of the total fixedrate portfolio (31 December 2020: 82.9%). In the current 2021 reporting period, the weighting in these investments rose moderately compared to the year-end.
As at 31 March 2021, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 456.2 million, representing 28.0% of financial investments (31 December 2020: EUR 451.7 million; 35.6%). The largest single issuer of securities to which the Group is exposed is the Republic of Slovenia (31 March 2021: EUR 124.5 million; 7.6%; 31 December 2020: EUR 139.2 million; 8.6%), and the maximum single exposure to any commercial issuer was 2.1% of the Group's 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 the first quarter of 2021.
We estimate that credit risk remained at the same level as at year-end 2020.
5.3.4 Liquidity risk
In the reporting period, the Group companies did not change their monitoring or management of liquidity risk. The Group's liquidity position remains good, as liquidity is well-controlled and managed, and the companies hold an adequate level of highly liquid assets. We estimate that, in the first quarter of 2021, liquidity risk remained unchanged and low.
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. The Group's exposure to operational risk did not change significantly in the reporting period compared to year-end 2020. According to our estimates, the exposure to Covida-19-related operational risks increased somewhat but is well-managed in the Group.
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. In addition, we seek to quantify key strategic risks by analysing diverse scenarios.
In the first quarter of 2021, the Group's exposure to strategic risk remained at a similar level as at yearend 2020, but is elevated because of potential Covid-19-related effects.
Since the onset of the Covid-19 crisis, the Group has been monitoring and analysing the situation, introducing relevant mitigating measures. This has continued in 2021: intensified monitoring of developments and risks in the Group companies, conducting activities to mitigate negative impacts on operations, continuous monitoring of sales and business performance, analysing potential impacts of Covid-19. We assess that the Group's strategic risk was also managed adequately during the emergency situation.
The main risks that the Group is exposed to remain underwriting risk, followed by market risk. The realisation of underwriting risk is fortuitous. Underwriting risk could be realised to a larger extent as the result of a larger number of catastrophic events (in Slovenia and abroad) or Covid-19 in connection with business interruption coverage in some business segments. In the first quarter of 2021, a large part of the world was faced with a new wave of Covid-19. However, vaccination against Covid-19 started in early 2021. This has led to a slight improvement in the situation in both financial markets and in the economy. Expectations regarding trends in financial markets in 2021 are positive, mainly due to the increasing percentage of the population vaccinated, the resulting faster opening of the economy and associated favourable economic developments. Nevertheless, uncertainty about the situation in financial markets remains high, which is why we will continue to monitor the situation closely. We expect the exposure to strategic and operational risk to decline towards the end of 2021 thanks to an increasing vaccination coverage of the population. Since the situation remains unpredictable, we will remain vigilant.

The selected notes to the interim financial statements are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position of the Group at the end of March 2021 compared to year-end 2020 and the performance of the Group in the first three months of 2021 compared to the first three months of 2020.
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 2020.
The financial statements with notes as at and for the three months to 31 March 2021 have not been audited.
The interim financial statements as at 31 March 2021 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2020.
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.
There were no extraordinary events in terms of their nature, size or incidence that would affect assets, liabilities, equity, net profit or cash flows in the first quarter 2021. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on business is presented in section 5 "Risk management".
Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2% thereof, which is EUR 9.5 million as at 31 March 2021. 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 provided in this report although they may not exceed the materiality threshold.
The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.
The Group has prepared this interim report using the same principles concerning estimates as those applied for its annual report.
Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments were formed based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks and the environment in which companies operate).
Business is shown by operating segments: reinsurance, non-life, life, pensions and asset management, and the "other" segment. Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, with net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs a common performance indicator for all segments. 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 level of assets and technical provisions on a quarterly basis.

Gross receivables rose by EUR 24.7 million from year-end 2020, chiefly because of a EUR 23.3 million increase in receivables due from policyholders, the renewal of most annual non-life (re)insurance contracts with major clients (companies and cedants) and because of assessment schedules for reinsurance business.

Not-past-due receivables increased by EUR 30.4 million. The largest increase was in not-past-due receivables due from policyholders, up EUR 28.3 million, owing to the renewal of annual policies and the EUR 2.1 million drop in not-past-due receivables arising out of investments because of the settlement of receivables relating to financial investments.

Compared to year-end 2020, the balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 19.5 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. Consequently, proceeds from maturities and disposals were not fully reinvested but held in transaction accounts or demand deposits.
Shareholders' equity increased by 3.6%, or EUR 16.7 million, compared to year-end 2020. The net profit for the year had a positive impact on the change in shareholders' equity, of EUR 23.5 million. A decrease also came from the fair value reserve (EUR 6.4 million).
Retained earnings increased by EUR 56.1 million compared to year-end 2020 because of the reallocation of the full profit for 2019 to this item (with no effect on the increase in shareholders' equity as at 31 March 2021) because the distributable profit until 31 March 2021 remained unallocated.
The net profit for the period grew by EUR 16.3 million compared to the same period in 2020 (first quarter of 2020: EUR 10.3 million).
The weighted average number of shares outstanding in the financial period was 15,497,696. As at 31 March 2021, the parent company held 1,721,966 own shares, which are subtracted when calculating the weighted average number of shares.

Technical provisions increased by EUR 27.1 million, or 8.7%, compared to 31 December 2020. The largest increase was in unearned premiums, up EUR 37.4 million, whereas life technical provisions (mathematical provisions for traditional life business) shrank by EUR 9.6 million. The increase in gross unearned premiums (EUR 37.4 million) was mainly driven by growth in non-life (re)insurance premiums. Gross provisions for outstanding claims grew by EUR 0.2 million.
The gross provision relating to unit-linked business grew by EUR 35.4 million, primarily because of increased provisions at Vita as the result of portfolio growth, the transfer of assets from the guaranteed part in the amount of matured traditional life business, and increase in fund unit prices.

Liabilities from operating activities rose by EUR 11.1 million from year-end 2020, primarily as the result of the renewal of annual reinsurance contracts and consequently higher liabilities from reinsurance and co-insurance business, up EUR 7.6 million, and EUR 2.9 million higher current tax liabilities.
