Total 1.7% -1.6%

In the first nine months of 2022, the Sava Insurance Group generated operating revenue of EUR 558.0 million and thus remains on track to hit its revenue target for the full year 2022. Almost all the segments achieved 75% of the annual operating revenue planned. The Group wrote EUR 608.3 million in gross premiums, up 5.2% year on year. With a net profit of EUR 46.5 million, the Company estimates that the profit target for 2022 will be achieved. The net profit for the period in the non-life segment compared to the year-on-year figure was mostly affected by claims inflation, the anticipated rise in motor accident frequency after the pandemic lull, and additional weather-related and other major loss events. The net expense ratio for the first nine months of 2022 was better than planned, driven by all major operating segments, owing to higher revenue and the timing of operating expenses. The net combined ratio is still within the planned range, despite the weaker loss experience in the Slovenian non-life segment. The return on the investment portfolio is only slightly below the level planned for 2022.

Objectives achieved in the Group's strategic focus areas

Digital transformation and placing the customer at the centre

We continued to use and upgrade remote digital solutions for customers to optimise the user experience, especially on websites.

Key development activities continued with the introduction of a multi-channel solution in several Sava Insurance Group companies, with focus on managing multi-level processes and additional integrated communication channels. Multi-channel solutions were added in two more companies.

The SavaNet portal, which today includes data of Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Pokojninska, has seen several improvements based on customer requests and ideas. By the end of 2022, the portal will be upgraded with Save Infond data, and in 2023 there are plans to roll out the portal to two more Group companies, for which an analysis of the necessary adjustments is currently underway.

Paperless business intelligence is being extended to additional business processes, and a solution to automate communications across different communication channels is being rolled out. With the introduction of advanced technologies, we continue to develop and deploy artificial intelligence in various work processes.

By developing the use of additional sources of external databases and optimising a process for consolidating and cleansing customer data, we are looking to increase security and accelerate process implementation for our customers. At Zavarovalnica Sava, we have created an extended business data dictionary, which enables us to better review and use customer data internally and to share it among various business processes.

A comprehensive redesign of the Zavarovalnica Sava website on the Liferay platform is underway, which will serve as a basis for subsequent redesigns in other Group companies.

Information technology initiatives and improvements

Regarding system improvements, we continued implementing the new application for the Croatian branch (with a focus on the changeover to the euro) and the application to support reinsurance operations at the parent company, while continuing setting up a fraud detection system at Zavarovalnica Sava and integrating data for the IFRS 17 project into a central solution for the companies. We also undertook regular maintenance and development of products in the companies' existing solutions.

Regarding business reporting and data warehouse solutions, we expanded the Zavarovalnica Sava data warehouse with new data sources and integrated the Sava Re data warehouse into the new central reinsurance solution. For IFRS 17 financial reporting purposes, we ran a technical test reporting cycle, supplementing and refining functionalities and data integration, while reviewing the data quality of the target subsidiaries.

In terms of infrastructure, we provided ongoing support for various business application development projects, mitigated risks in infrastructure management through additional preventive and detective IT operations testing, carried out a regular replacement of disk capacity in the Group's main data centre, implemented an IT service management solution to support IT business processes in one company and started rolling it out to other Group companies.

In terms of IT security, we completed the integration of the security patch management system in the workstation environment and will continue with the integration in the server environment. The security policy was adapted so that the methods and periodicity of the different types of independent security tests were more precisely defined. The set of detection rules for suspicious events in the security information and event management system was updated. Currently under way is the integration of the IT service management tool with the above-mentioned system to improve internal handling of security events. The Group started revising its cyber incident response plan to align it with the national cyber incident response plan.

Sustainable development

The Sava Insurance Group adopted a sustainable development strategy for 2020–2022, embarking on the path of introducing ESG criteria into business and decision-making processes. Accordingly, during the strategic period, the focus has been on implementing these criteria in a number of areas: investment management, insurance and reinsurance underwriting, development of insurance services and purchasing.

The Sava Insurance Group has stepped up activities for designing a plan for the next strategy period and is preparing for reporting under the Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation, the Taxonomy and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive in terms of training and provision of relevant data. Training was also provided to board members of subsidiaries on how to prepare for reporting under the new regulatory requirements.

Working groups, including representatives of the subsidiaries, worked hard to ensure proper implementation of EU regulations. In August 2022, two EU delegated regulations entered into force: Delegated Regulation 2021/1257 as regards the integration of sustainability factors, risks and preferences into the product oversight and governance requirements for insurance undertakings and insurance distributors and into the rules on conduct of business and investment advice for insurancebased investment products and Delegated Regulation 2021/1256 as regards the integration of sustainability risks in the governance of insurance and reinsurance undertakings. Thus, the companies have produced relevant documents and guidance on the fulfilment of the legal requirements, prepared appropriate information for customers on sustainability factors for individual insurance products, and coordinated other relevant documents.

Several volunteer projects as part of the "Heart for the World" initiative started in September and are planned to continue in October.

4 Significant events in the nine months to 30 September 2022

  • The Sava Insurance Group has examined the impact of the war in Ukraine on its operations and estimates that, due to the small volume of business with and low investment exposure to Russia and Ukraine, the changed circumstances will not have a material impact on its business performance. The Sava Insurance Group (through Sava Re) wrote reinsurance contracts with Russian and Ukrainian partners, the annual premium volume of which accounts for only 0.5% of the Group's total planned operating revenue for 2022. All contracts contain so-called sanctions clauses. In the event of sanctions imposed by the European Union or the United Nations, such clauses limit the obligations of Sava Re under relevant contracts if such obligations are contrary to the applicable sanctions. In addition, the reinsurance contracts written exclude coverage related to war. The Group's credit and currency exposure to Russia, Ukraine and Belarus as at 31 December 2021 accounted for just 0.24% of the Group's financial investments. Most of this exposure arises from cash and cash equivalents, and rouble-denominated investments, which are matched to liabilities denominated in the same currency. Only a small part, 0.04%, is invested in securities of Russian issuers; thus, credit risk is also negligible. The Group is aware of the potentially adverse indirect effects on the macroeconomic environment and, consequently, on the Group's operations, which cannot yet be properly assessed at this stage. Some possible financial effects are presented through sensitivity analyses in the 2021 annual report, notes to the financial statements: sections 17.6.4.1.1 "Interest rate risk" and 17.6.4.1.3 "Equity risk".
  • Beyond the three quarters of 2022, the focus continues to be on high inflation and, as a result, a more aggressive approach by US and European central banks towards key interest rate hikes. Geopolitical tensions remain elevated on account of Russia's military aggression in Ukraine, which shows no signs of abating and will create considerable uncertainty for financial markets in the future, not least because of relatively high energy prices. Further uncertainty is added by increased tensions over Taiwan and the difficulties of the economy in China, where it seems increasingly likely that the property bubble is about to burst, while the economy is also impacted by the country's zero tolerance to Covid-19. In particular, the rapid rise in central bank interest rates and the expectation of further increases raise the possibility of a recession in the coming quarters, which, in addition to the risks already mentioned, leads to volatility in equity and bond markets. Equities declined for the third consecutive quarter in 2022, and debt markets saw even larger declines. Movements in both asset classes will continue to be strongly influenced by central banks' actions aimed at getting inflation under control, as well as by the increasing likelihood of an economic downturn. The Sava Insurance Group will continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation and developments in the capital markets, and it will respond accordingly.
  • Jošt Dolničar, who was appointed chairman of the management board of Zavarovalnica Sava on 30 December 2021, was granted a licence to perform this function by the Insurance Supervision Agency on 3 May 2022. His term as a member of the management board of Sava Re ended on 4 May 2022, and he assumed the chairmanship of the management board of Zavarovalnica Sava on 5 May 2022 for a five-year term of office. After the departure of Jošt Dolničar, the Sava Re management board has continued to operate with only three members until further notice.
  • In May 2022, the 38th general meeting of shareholders was held.
  • In May 2022, the High Court in Dublin ruled in favour of Zavarovalnica Sava, confirming that its business interruption and loss of licence policy wording does not provide cover for losses arising from the Covid-19 pandemic.
  • In September 2022, the rating agencies S&P Global Ratings and AM Best affirmed the "A" ratings of Sava Re and Zavarovalnica Sava. The outlook was stable.

5 Significant events after the reporting period

Pursuant to Article 235a of the Slovenian Companies Act (ZGD-1), in April 2022, Sava Re started the process of identifying shareholders who are registered with intermediaries as holders of shares and are not themselves intermediaries (hereafter referred to as: ultimate shareholders). Based on information obtained, on 26 April 2022, Croatia Osiguranje d.d., Vatroslava Jagića 33, 10000 Zagreb, Croatia was registered with the intermediary Intercapital Securities Ltd. as the holder of 2,439,852 POSR shares and Adris Grupa d.d., Obala V. Nazora 1, 52210 Rovinj as the holder of 73,591 POSR shares. Furthermore, the information received indicates that Adris Grupa d.d., Obala V. Nazora 1, 52210 Rovinj, Croatia was registered with the broker Raiffeisen bank Austria as the holder of 764,606 POSR shares as at 26 April 2022. Croatia Osiguranje d.d. thus held 14.17% of all POSR shares or 15.74% of all POSR shares with voting rights as at 26 April 2022, while Adris Grupa d.d. (which owns 66.91% of Croatia Osiguranje) held 4.87% of all POSR shares or 5.41% of all POSR shares with voting rights. As at 26 April 2022, the two companies together held 19.04% of all POSR shares and 21.15% of the shares with voting rights.

There were no significant changes in the holdings of the 10 largest shareholders in the first nine months of 2022. The 10 largest shareholders held a combined share of 67.9% of the share capital and 75.4% of voting rights.

Fiduciary accounts with banks, attorneys and other financial institutions altogether account for 24.6% of all POSR shares.

As at 30 September 2022, the top four largest Sava Re shareholders exceeded the 5% threshold (qualifying holding in accordance with Article 77 of the Slovenian Takeover Act, ZPre-1).

There were some transactions in Sava Re shares by the members of the management and supervisory boards in the first nine months of 2022. Marko Jazbec increased his holdings in Sava Re to 11,500 shares as at 30 September 2022. Jošt Dolničar left the Sava Re board on 4 May 2022, which is why his shares have been removed from the table. The members of the management and supervisory boards hold together 19,348 shares, an equity share of 0.112 %.

In the most recent year, the rolling average share price during the period 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2022 has been used.

Contingent capital

The Company had no contingent capital as at 30 September 2022.

The operations of the Sava Insurance Group are organised by these segments: reinsurance, non-life (insurance), life (insurance), pensions, asset management and the "other" segment. The non-life and life segments are further broken down by geography into Slovenia and international.

The operating segments cover the business of the following companies7 :

  • reinsurance: Sava Re (non-Group business);
  • non-life, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (the Slovenian part of non-life insurance business, including FoS business), Vita (non-life insurance business);
  • non-life, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (the Croatian part of non-life insurance business), Sava Neživotno Osiguranje (SRB), Illyria (RKS), Sava Osiguranje (MNE), Sava Osiguruvanje (MKD), Sava Car (MNE), Sava Agent (MNE), Sava Station (MKD), Sava Car (SRB);
  • life, Slovenia: Zavarovalnica Sava (the Slovenian part of life insurance business), Vita (life insurance business), ZS Svetovanje (SVN), Ornatus KC (SVN);
  • life, international: Zavarovalnica Sava (the Croatian part of life insurance business), Sava Životno Osiguranje (SRB), Illyria Life (RKS);
  • pensions and asset management: Sava Pokojninska (SVN), Sava Penzisko Društvo (MKD), Sava Infond (SVN);
  • other: TBS Team 24 (SVN) and the equity-accounted companies DCB (SVN) and G2I (GBR). This segment also includes expenses on subordinate debt. S Estate was sold on 1 March 2022 and is therefore no longer included in the consolidated accounts from that date.

The following reallocations were made in the consolidated income statement:

  • The effects of reinsurance (retrocession) relating to business with subsidiaries are reallocated to the other segments (Sava Re as the parent company handles the reinsurance of most business of its subsidiaries): in the segment reporting information, reinsurance premiums accepted by the reinsurer from its subsidiaries are reallocated to the segments from where they have arisen. The same applies, by analogy, to reinsurance claims, commission income, the change in unearned premiums, the change in claims provisions, the change in other provisions and the change in deferred acquisition costs due to reinsurance.
  • Operating expenses of 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 each subsidiary's revenue. Operating expenses associated with reinsurance business within the Group are also reallocated to other segments. In the first nine months of 2022, 66.9% of operating expenses were allocated to operating segments (first nine months of 2021: 67.2%). In addition, there were reallocations of operating expenses of the company TBS Team 24 (SVN) associated with the companies conducting business in the Slovenian or international non-life segments from the "other" segment to these two segments.
  • Investment income and expenses are reallocated from the reinsurance segment to the non-life insurance and life insurance segments using the key for the apportionment of net technical provisions for the rolling year (average balance at the end of the past four quarters).
  • The proceeds from the sale of S Estate (RKS) have been included in the "other" segment.

The following reclassifications were made in the consolidated statement of financial position:

Goodwill was attributed to the segment where it arose.

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

  • The balance of financial investments associated with the Group's reinsurance share of technical provisions 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 balance at the end of the past four quarters).
  • The balances of the reinsurers' share of technical provisions (reinsurers' share of unearned premiums, claims provisions and other provisions) and deferred acquisition expenses are reallocated to other segments in the same way as described in point one of the reallocations of income statement items.
  • Subordinated liabilities are shown in the "other" segment.

Summary consolidated income statement

A key impact on the profit for the first nine months of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 is the weaker underwriting performance and higher claims incurred in the Slovenian non-life segment, driven by several factors: claims inflation, the subsiding impact of the epidemic (with a rise in motor accident frequency) and increased property claims due to major weather-related and other claims. The recent surge in inflation was not expected, neither in Europe nor globally. Hence, insurers could not factor it into setting rates for insurance products. In contrast, claims that occur a year or more after policies are sold must be paid at inflation-adjusted rates. The rate increases on insurance products over the recent months are to compensate for the inflationary increase in claims on newly sold policies. The lower investment result was due to the drop in the market value of investments designated to the FVTPL category as a result of the increase in required yields in the financial markets (net effect of EUR 5.2 million) and the effect of the change on the revaluation of the HTM portfolio of Vita, which was revalued to fair value on its first-time consolidation in 2020.

The Group achieved 77.5% of the planned full-year net profit in the first nine months of 2022, which is an improvement on the 2019 profit, achieved in the last pre-Covid year.

In the income statement, exchange differences are recorded within the items that the exchange differences to. The Group seeks to maintain a balanced foreign currency position and, for the sake of transparency, the following table shows the impact of exchange rate differences on these items as well as the cumulative effect of exchange rate differences on the income statement. The categories most affected by exchange rate differences are explained below, excluding their impact.

Net investment income

Net investment income of the investment portfolio also includes the income and expenses relating to investment property. In the income statement these are part of the "other income/expenses" item.

In the first nine months of 2022, the Group achieved a lower net investment income than in the same period last year. Despite the realisation of gains on the sale of investments, the net investment income was lower year on year due to the drop in the market value of FVTPL assets as the result of the increase in the required yieldsin financial markets. Of the total impact of EUR 6.9 million, EUR 1.4 million relates to the Vita HTM portfolio, which had been remeasured to fair value upon Vita's first consolidation in 2020.

* Expenses for financial investments differ from the expenses in the income statement item "interest expenses" because the income statement also includes expenses for right-of-use assets (30 September 2022: EUR 99.6 thousand; 30 September 2021: EUR 105.0 thousand).

Gross profit/loss for the period

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

8.1 Reinsurance

The income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are presented in the notes to the financial statements, section 13.7 "Segment reporting". The reinsurance segment primarily captures the developments in the portfolio that Sava Re writes outside Slovenia with non-Group companies.

Composition of the gross income statement, reinsurance (excluding the effect of exchange differences)

The improved underwriting performance is mainly due to higher net premiums earned as a result of positive rate developments in global reinsurance markets. The 2022 nine-month investment result was lower year on year due to fair value changes in FVTPL assets.

Net premiums earned

Gross premiums written 98,131,207 93,163,162 105.3
Net premiums earned 82,920,217 78,079,728 106.2

The increase in gross premiums written was mainly driven by a 13.3% increase in non-proportional reinsurance premiums. Underwriting year 2022 premiums increased by 9.8%, or EUR 7.5 million, compared to 2021; prior underwriting year premiums dropped by EUR 2.6 million, primarily in the proportional business. Net premiums earned grew in line with gross premiums written.

Net claims incurred

Net claims incurred, excluding the effect of exchange differences, reinsurance

EUR 1–9/2022 1–9/2021 Index
Gross claims paid 58,184,243 36,894,170 157.7
Net claims incurred 64,837,670 61,104,893 106.1

The higher gross claims paid are due to payment of claims from previous underwriting years. As these were paid out of claims provisions set aside in the past, they had no material impact on the result. Net claims incurred grew slower than gross claims paid thanks to appropriate reinsurance protection covering major loss events. Hence, these had no material impact on the result. The third quarter is often impacted by adverse weather events, such as windstorms and hailstorms, which usually result in higher net claims incurred.

Although the incurred loss ratio slightly deteriorated from the half year to 72.1%, it is more favourable than those posted in three quarters of 2021 (first nine months of 2021: 74.6%).

Acquisition costs decreased despite growing gross premiums written because of the faster growth in the non-proportional business with lower underwriting commissions than proportional business. Thus, the share of acquisition costs as a percentage of gross premiums written dropped by 1.8 p.p. compared to the first nine months of 2021 to 19.5%.

Other operating costs were higher due to personnel costs and service costs related to the implementation of new IT solutions.

In the first nine months of 2022, the net expense ratio improved by 1.7 p.p. year on year to 25.5%. The improvement in the ratio was mainly driven by lower policy acquisition expenses.

Net investment income

Income, expenses and net investment income of the investment portfolio, excluding the effect of exchange differences (reinsurance)

Income/expenses include income/expenses relating to investment property. In the income statement these are part of the "other income/expenses" item.

The performance of the investment portfolio in the first nine months of 2022 was impacted by the developments in financial markets, as described in section 4 "Significant events in the first nine months of 2022". Due to the higher expenses for fair value changes in FVTPL assets, net investment income was lower, at EUR 1.6 million, translating into an investment return of 0.8%.

8.2 Non-life

The income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are presented in the notes to the financial statements, section 13.7 "Segment reporting".

Gross profit or loss, non-life insurance

The 2022 nine-month profit of the non-life segment declined year on year, chiefly because of weaker underwriting performance. The largest impact came from higher net claims incurred in the Slovenian part of the segment. This was largely driven by claims inflation. The easing of the pandemic restrictions led to an increase in the frequency of motor claims. In addition, motor and property claims increased due to weather-related loss events, with further increases in property claims because of individual major claims. The international non-life business did not experience these effects to the same extent, posting a EUR 0.3 million better result. The better result of foreign non-life insurers was mainly driven by higher net premiums earned.

Net investment income was similarly exposed to the changed financial market conditions, with the Slovenian part of the segment seeing an increase of EUR 1.9 million in expenses related to fair value changes of FVTPL (fair-value-through-profit-or-loss) assets. On the other hand, investment income was EUR 0.6 million higher, mainly due to higher gains on disposals of investments. However, net investment income generated by the non-Slovenian non-life insurance companies remained at the year-on-year level.

Other income and expenses of the Slovenian non-life companies grew by EUR 0.2 million. The international non-life insurance companies improved their business result by the same amount.

Growth in gross premiums written was achieved in both the domestic and the international part of the non-life segment. Net premiums earned in the Slovenian part of the segment remained on the yearon-year level, whereas in the international part they grew by 12.2%. This is because, in the Slovenian part of this segment, unearned premiums relating to FoS business declined after being largely discontinued, whereas, due to healthy growth in gross premiums written, gross unearned premiums relating to other non-life business rose. For international business, growth in net premiums earned follows growth in gross premiums written.

While FoS-related gross premiums written dropped by EUR 4.2 million, this premium loss was offset by other non-life premiums both in Slovenia and abroad. Motor business posted the fastest growth in gross premiums written in the non-life operating segment. In Slovenia, these grew mainly in the personal motor segment as the result of an increase in both the number of policies sold and the average premium. The increase in the average premium was driven by higher loss frequency, claims inflation and higher costs of services. Motor insurance also grew in all the Group's foreign markets, especially because of the more stable motor third-party liability market in Serbia, more policies sold and higher average premiums in the remaining markets.

Gross non-life insurance premiums by class of business14

As regards the composition of gross premiums written by class of insurance in the first nine months of 2022, there was a year-on-year rise in the proportion of land motor vehicle, accident, health and assistance business and a drop in the proportion of property, motor vehicle liability and general liability business due to the phasing out of FoS business in these classes of insurance.

In the Slovenian non-life segment, net claims incurred rose by EUR 8.8 million. Net claims incurred relating to FoS business decreased, mainly reflecting a drop in gross claims provisions due to the settlement of claims, the closure of some files relating to business that had been discontinued and the release of IBNR provisions set aside to cover business interruption claims associated with Covid-19 after the positive outcome of a judgement in the Republic of Ireland in May 2022. Net claims incurred in other non-life business increased for the reasons already explained in the gross business result section.

The rise in net claims incurred in the international non-life segment, of EUR 3.6 million, mainly relates to the decline in the gross claims provision of the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava owing to portfolio streamlining and shrinking (this year these remained nearly unchanged), and to the increase in gross claims provisions of the Kosovo and North Macedonian non-life insurers.

14 Property insurance comprises the following classes of business (i) fire and natural forces, (ii) other damage to property, (iii) miscellaneous financial loss, and (iv) legal expense insurance. Other insurance comprises aviation and credit insurance.

Unconsolidated gross non-life claims paid by Sava Insurance Group company

In the first nine months of 2022, gross non-life claims grew as the result of growth in Slovenian gross non-life claims of 28.6%, whereas gross claims paid by non-Slovenian non-life insurers dropped by 1.8%.

The rise in gross claims paid by the Slovenian non-life insurers was mainly driven by the rise in gross motor and property claims. Gross motor claims rose as the result of an increase in the number of reported claims compared to the previous year, when Covid-19-related measures were more stringent, and as a result of an increase in the average claim incurred because of additional equipment and assistance systems integrated in vehicles and the related higher costs of repairs and spare parts. Motor claims frequency also rose due to the weather-related loss events in May and June 2022. Gross property claims grew because of individual major loss events and weather-related events.

Gross claims paid by the international insurers dropped by EUR 0.5 million. The biggest drop in gross claims was in motor insurance, as the result of portfolio cleaning in Croatia and fewer reported and settled claims. Personal accident claims also dropped because of the exclusion of certain risks and lower claims on group accident policies.

Policy acquisition expenses rose by 2.2%, chiefly due to growth in gross premiums written by the international non-life insurers.

Other operating expenses rose by 11.1% in the first nine months of 2022, driven by the payout of a cost-of-living bonus along with higher other personnel costs, higher donation and sponsorship costs, and an increase in the cost of electricity.

Gross expense ratio, non-life segment

The gross expense ratio attributable to the non-life segment remained on the year-on-year level. The gross expense ratio of the Slovenian non-life insurers rose by 0.2 p.p. because the relative increase in gross operating expenses was larger than the relative increase in gross premiums written. The gross expense ratio of foreign non-life insurers decreased by 2.8 p.p. as a result of the rise in gross premiums written.

Net investment income

In the first nine months of 2022, net investment income of non-life companies totalled EUR 4.0 million, down EUR 1.5 million year on year. Net investment income declined chiefly due to higher expenses for fair value changes of FVTPL assets of EUR 1.4 million. The return on investment for the period was 0.9%.

In the first nine months of 2022, gross claims paid by the Slovenian life insurers dropped by 3.9% year on year. Despite strong sales, Vita wrote less in gross premiums written year on year, reflecting fewer single premium contributions than in the previous year, when there were more than average due to the announced introduction of demurrage on assets in private bank accounts, which prompted bank customers to purchase life policies or make single premium contributions to existing policies. Gross premiums written by Zavarovalnica Sava in Slovenia remained roughly on the year-on-year level despite lost premiums due to maturities, deaths and surrenders, as they were offset by new sales.

In the first nine months of 2022, gross premiums written by the non-Slovenian life insurers rose by a full 19.3% year on year. Premium growth was mostly contributed by the Kosovo company, which started sales through a bank in mid-2021, while steadily increasing sales through its own sales network. Gross premiums written by the Serbian insurer also strengthened, driven by its own and external sales channels. The Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava, however, has recently recorded a higher volume of maturities, which it has not been able to offset by new sales.

In the first nine months of 2022, gross claims paid in Slovenia fell by 5.2% year on year, owing to the decline in gross claims paid by Zavarovalnica Sava. Gross claims paid by Zavarovalnica Sava dropped due to fewer maturities of traditional life insurance policies as well as lower amounts paid for surrenders and death benefits. At Vita, gross claims paid rose, reflecting portfolio maturities and more surrenders at the beginning of the year due to higher unit values in 2021.

The change in technical provisions for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk is mainly due to the change in the value of the investments supporting these liabilities, since the investment risk is borne by the policyholders. The change in the value of the provisions and of the associated investments is recognised in profit or loss, ensuring that the effects of these valuations are shown in a neutral way in the financial statements. The overall change in technical provisions for the benefit of life policyholders is not, as a rule, exactly the same as the change in the value of the related investments, since the level of provisions is affected by factors other than the change in the value of the investments during the period (an increase due to new contributions, a decrease due to claims payments and a decrease due to a deduction of booked expenses). Because of the losses in the Slovenian unit-linked life business, there was also a significant decline in this year's net claims incurred, including the change in other provisions and the provision of unit-linked business.

Gross claims paid by the international insurers in the first nine months of 2022 were up by 16.6% year on year: in Croatia because of maturities, in Kosovo mainly because of death benefits and surrenders, and in Serbia due to increased mortality. Growth in gross claims paid by the foreign insurers, however, largely follows portfolio growth.

In the first nine months of 2022, policy acquisition expenses rose by 11.7% year on year, in line with stronger sales in most of the companies. The difference in the change in deferred acquisition costs between the two years relates to Slovenian life business.

Other operating expenses for the first nine months of 2022 rose by 2.0% year on year, mainly due to increased personnel costs and other prices.

Gross expense ratio, life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the Slovenian insurers rose by 1.5 p.p. year on year, reflecting lower gross premiums written and higher policy acquisition costs. The gross expense ratio of the international life insurers remained largely unchanged year on year.

Net investment income

Investment return and net investment income (life insurance)

In the first nine months of 2022, net investment income relating to life business totalled EUR 7.4 million, down EUR 5.4 million year on year. Net investment income was lower due to higher expenses for fair value changes of FVTPL assets. In 2022, the Group generated gains on the disposal of investments of EUR 3.6 million in the life segment (nine months of 2021: EUR 5.2 million). The return on the life insurance investment portfolio stands thus at 1.8% in the reporting period.

Gross premiums written for the first nine months of 2022, which relate to the annuity fund of Sava Pokojninska, fell by 14.5% year on year. Recently, more policyholders have opted to remain in the accumulation part of the scheme even after meeting retirement eligibility requirements.

Gross claims paid include supplementary pension annuity payouts, which increased by 28.6% in the first nine months of 2022 versus the same period last year. Annuity payouts to policyholders increased in line with the rise in annuity fund assets over the recent years (increase upon meeting retirement eligibility requirements).

The change in the technical provisions for annuity funds reflects premiums paid in and claims paid out.

Contributions to pension and mutual funds:

  • of the group of long-term business funds of the Slovenian pension company increased by 7.3%, as the company managed to increase the average value of contributions;
  • of the mandatory and voluntary funds of the North Macedonian pension company increased by 11.5%, mainly due to the higher amount of the average contribution, but also because of the increase in the number of members;
  • of the Slovenian mutual fund management company dropped by 21.7% because of the unfavourable trends in financial markets in the third quarter of the year.

The liability funds of the Slovenian pension company achieved a -6.3% return in the first nine months of 2022 (first nine months of 2021: 2.4%), the mandatory and voluntary pension funds managed by the North Macedonian pension company achieved a return of -2.9% (first nine months of 2021: 6.2%) and the Slovenian mutual fund manager a return of -19.3% on mutual funds (first nine months of 2021: 10.7%). The negative returns in the first nine months of 2022 are due to adverse developments in financial markets related to the war in Ukraine, recession expectations, stagflation and increases in base rates, whereas financial market developments in the same period last year were very favourable.

The return given for the first nine months of 2021 differs from the one stated in the financial report for the first nine months of 2021.

In the first nine months of 2022, net investment income relating to the portfolio of the pension companies totalled EUR 1.0 million, down by EUR 1.5 million year on year, chiefly on account of higher expenses for the change in fair value of FVTPL assets. The investment return for the period was -3.2%.

Profit before tax – pension and asset management section

EUR 1–9/2022 1–9/2021 Index
Profit or loss before tax 3,170,683 4,559,789 69.5

The pre-tax profit dropped, reflecting adverse developments in the financial markets, primarily due to the effect of the falling value of assets measured at fair value through profit or loss and the strengthening of provisions for non-achievement of the guaranteed return by the Slovenian pension company. In the first nine months of 2022, the North Macedonian pension company contributed more to the consolidated profit of the pensions and asset management segment than year on year.

15 The figure includes the portfolios of Sava Pokojninska (excluding investment contracts), 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) and Sava Infond.

8.5 Other

The income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are presented in the notes to the financial statements, section 13.7 "Segment reporting".

The "other" segment includes: the subsidiaries TBS Team 24 (SVN) and S Estate (RKS), the two equityaccounted associates DCB (SVN) and G2I (GBR), and interest expenses on subordinated debt.

The following contributed to the significantly better consolidated result of the "other" segment in the first nine months of 2022:

  • disposal of the subsidiary S Estate: gain on disposal of EUR 1.0 million,
  • subsidiary TBS Team 24: EUR 1.0 million (first nine months of 2021: EUR 0.8 million),
  • associate companies DCB and G2I: ERU 1.2 million (first nine months of 2021: EUR 0.7 million).

Interest expense on subordinated debt totalled EUR 2.1 million in the first nine months of 2022, roughly the same year on year.

Sava Insurance Group's balance sheet total of EUR 2,544.4 million at 30 September 2022 was 4.3% lower than at the end of 2021, largely due to the lower value of financial investments as a result of the conditions in financial markets. Below we set out items of assets and liabilities in excess of 5% of total assets as at 30 September 2022 and items that changed by more than 2% of equity. For the sake of providing a full overview, the investment portfolio is presented as made up of financial investments, investment property, financial investments in associates, and cash and cash equivalents (although certain categories do not achieve the threshold mentioned above).

9.1.1 Property, plant and equipment

The increase in property, plant and equipment assets (2) of EUR 16.0 million relates to the construction of a new office building for Zavarovalnica Sava.

9.1.2 Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets (4) increased by EUR 22.3 million compared to year-end 2021. The drop in available-for-sale debt securities and the resulting decline in the fair value reserve is the main reason for the change in deferred tax assets.

9.1.3 Investment portfolio

The investment portfolio consists of the following statement of financial position items: financial investments (7), investment property (5), financial investments in associates (6), and cash and cash equivalents (14).

Total investment portfolio 1,426,163,429 1,581,426,876 -155,263,447 90.2

As at 30 September 2022, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,426.2 million, a decline of EUR 155.3 million from year-end 2021. This decline mainly stemmed from the negative change in the fair value reserve on the bond portion of the investment portfolio due to the rise in required yields because of the situation in financial markets. Financial investments in associate companies strengthened by EUR 1.3 million due to the attribution of profits under the equity method.

The share of fixed-rate investments in the investment portfolio shrank by 2.0 p.p. The decreased weighting in equity securities (shares and mutual funds) is mainly due to sales of these investments to align the investment portfolio with the Group's sustainability investment policy. The balance of cash and cash equivalents rose because funds from matured and disposed investments had not been fully reinvested at the balance sheet date. The weighting in infrastructure funds rose due to capital calls and remains in line with the Sava Insurance Group's risk strategy.

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

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 assets of these policyholders are recorded as financial investments (mainly in mutual funds selected by policyholders) and cash. As at 30 September 2022, financial investments totalled EUR 468.5 million, whereas cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 10.2 million. Compared to 31 December 2021, total assets decreased by EUR 53.4 million because of a drop in the value of investments in mutual funds and other policyholder assets of EUR 77.8 million, as well as new net inflows of EUR 24.5 million (inflows of EUR 126.5 million, outflows of EUR 102.0 million).

- Cash and cash equivalents 10,166,340 14,670,166 -4,503,826 69.3

9.1.5 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

The reinsurers' share of technical provisions (9) increased by EUR 10.4 million, or 18.0%, compared to year-end 2021. The largest increase was in unearned premiums of the Slovenian non-life segment (of EUR 5.4 million) and the reinsurance segment (of EUR 2.1 million). The provision for claims outstanding strengthened by EUR 1.7 million. More specifically, claims provisions of the Slovenian non-life segment increased by EUR 6.5 million (as the result of a major claim, which is largely born by non-Group reinsurers), and claims provisions of the reinsurance segment declined by EUR 4.8 million (due to payouts for catastrophe claims from provisions set aside in 2021).

9.1.6 Investment contract assets

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 to part of the assets of the annuity fund the policies of which do not qualify as insurance contracts. As at 30 September 2022, investment contract assets totalled EUR 168.6 million, up 2.5% compared to 31 December 2021.

This decrease was mainly due to a decline in the value of investments of EUR 10.3 million as the result of the situation in financial markets, net inflows of EUR 4.5 million (first nine months of 2022: EUR 9.9 million of inflows and EUR 5.4 million of outflows including exit charges) and a EUR 1.6 million appreciation of assets backing annuity policies.

Assets under the management of Sava Penzisko Društvo are not shown in the Group's statement of financial position; these amounts are disclosed in section 8.4 "Pensions and asset management".

Investment contract assets 168,573,085 172,836,349 -4,263,264 97.5

9.1.7 Receivables

Receivables (11) increased by EUR 41.8 million, or 27.9%, compared to year-end 2021 (30 September 2021: an increase of EUR 16.6 million, or 10.8%, from year-end 2020). Of this, EUR 30.9 million relates to primary insurance claims, most of this sum, EUR 25.6 million, representing not-past-due receivables of the reinsurance and Slovenian non-life segments. In the reinsurance segment, the increase is due to

Financial position

the renewal of annual reinsurance contracts with cedants and the timing of making estimates for reinsurance business, whereas non-life receivables rose because of renewals of annual insurance contracts with legal entities.

Receivables arising from reinsurance and co-insurance business rose by EUR 6.5 million, or 71.3%, from 31 December 2021, as the result of major loss events in the reinsurance segment.

Current tax assets increased by EUR 2.6 million compared to 31 December 2021, with the majority of the increase coming from the Slovenian non-life segment.

Other receivables increased by EUR 1.8 million compared to year-end 2021 – an increase in the "other" segment because of larger business volumes and the seasonal component of TBS Team 24's assistance services.

9.2.1 Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity (1) decreased by 21.3%, or EUR 107.3 million, reflecting mostly a decrease in the fair value reserve as a result of the revaluation of bond investments due to price movements in financial markets. In the first nine months of 2022, dividends of EUR 23.2 million were paid out.

9.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item on the liabilities side. The balance as at 30 September 2022 was an increase of 4.1%, or EUR 50.2 million, over year-end 2021.

Consolidated gross technical provisions

EUR 30 September 2022 31 December 2021 Index
Gross unearned premiums 257,706,056 207,022,452 124.5
Gross mathematical provisions 430,112,816 443,577,279 97.0

Gross technical provisions 1,287,663,230 1,237,500,117 104.1

Gross provisions set aside for the non-life segment were up by EUR 44.0 million, or 8.0%, compared to year-end 2021, mainly due to higher unearned premiums, which grew by EUR 41.2 million (first nine months of 2021: EUR 18.7 million) as a result of increased business volumes.

The gross provision of the life insurance segment increased by EUR 20.1 million, or 8.9%, versus yearend 2021. Claims provisions rose by EUR 10.5 million due to adverse movements in exchange rates and some major storms in the third quarter of 2022, whereas unearned premiums increased by EUR 9.4 million due to increases in business volume and the annual dynamics of reinsurance underwriting.

Gross mathematical provisions declined by EUR 13.5 million, or 3.0%, mainly reflecting lower balances at Zavarovalnica Sava and Vita due to maturity payouts. The provisions of the other insurance companies increased driven by portfolio growth and the developments of the existing portfolio.

The provision for bonuses, rebates and cancellations accounted for only a small proportion and remained flat compared to year-end 2021.

Other gross technical provisions include gross provisions for unexpired risks. These increased by EUR 1.7 million from year-end 2021, which chiefly relates to the Slovenian non-life segment (increased business volume in fire insurance and an increase in expected loss ratios due to claims inflation).

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

Gross technical provisions for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk (4) totalled EUR 479.9 million as at 30 September 2022 and decreased by 8.5%, or EUR 44.3 million, mainly due to price movements in financial markets and, consequently, fund unit values.

9.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 168.4 million as at 30 September 2022, down 2.5%, or EUR 4.2 million, on year-end 2021. Their movement is in line with investment contract assets, driven largely by new premium contributions, payouts and changes in fund unit prices.

9.3 Financing sources and their maturity

As at 30 September 2022, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 396.8 million in equity and EUR 77.0 million in subordinated liabilities. In October 2019, the parent company issued subordinated bonds with a scheduled maturity in 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 30 September 2022, the market price of the bond was 81.819% and the market value EUR 63,883,942 (31 December 2021: the market price 103.532%, the market value EUR 78,065,096).

9.4 Cash flow

In the first nine months of 2022, the Sava Insurance Group generated an operating cash flow of EUR 45.2 million (in the first nine months of 2021: EUR 102.6 million). Payments of claims and expenses were higher in this period year on year.

The lower cash flow from core business (EUR -57.4 million) led to lower net outflows in investing activities (less reinvestment).

The Group posted net cash used in financing activities in the amount of EUR 23.5 million (nine months of 2021: EUR 14.1 million) due to a higher dividend payout compared to 2021.

The closing balance of cash at 30 September 2022 was EUR 101.9 million (30 September 2021: EUR 99.6 million). The net cash flow for 2022 was EUR 2.9 million below the year-on-year figure.

11 Risk management

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. These risks are identified, measured, managed, monitored and reported on in line with prescribed risk management processes. In addition, these processes are also in place 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 2021 Sava Insurance Group annual report and are therefore not repeated in this report.

In the first nine months, the Sava Insurance Group was affected by an unfavourable macroeconomic and geopolitical situation. The changed circumstances and the associated commodity and energy market shocks further raised inflation expectations and uncertainty regarding future economic activity. The rise in the risk-free interest rate continued in the third quarter, driving up required yields on debt securities, resulting in lower values of debt investments, which in turn led to a decline in the fair value reserve. In the third quarter, credit risk premiums remained on a similar level as in the first half of the year (for more details, see section 11.3.3 "Credit risk").

The continued volatility of the macroeconomic environment has also been reflected in equity and currency markets, where we saw falling equity prices and a weakening of the euro. Inflation expectations have indirectly contributed to price hikes, resulting in increased claims inflation. The Sava Insurance Group responded by adjusting prices to limit the impact of claims inflation on the business results. We will continue to monitor inflation over the coming months so we can react promptly to potential adverse changes.

11.1 Capital adequacy and capital management

The Sava Insurance Group calculates its solvency position using the Solvency II standard formula. Capital adequacy is calculated annually, whereas the solvency position is assessed each quarter. The quarterly solvency position is shown as an interval within which the Group's solvency ratio is estimated to lie in the quarter. Thus, the Group's estimated solvency position as at 30 September 2022 indicates that the Group is well capitalised, with a solvency ratio in the range of 189% to 199% (31 December 2021: 198%). As at 31 December 2021, the Group's eligible own funds to cover the SCR totalled EUR 601.3 million; however, we estimate that they somewhat decreased by the end of the third quarter, chiefly as the result of the falling value of investments due to adverse developments in financial markets. The Group's solvency capital requirement (SCR) was EUR 304.4 million at 31 December 2021 and is estimated to have decreased slightly by the end of the third quarter, mainly due to a lower capital requirement for market risks as a result of the decline in the value of investments due to adverse movements in financial markets.

Based on the estimate, we believe that the Group's solvency as at 30 September 2022 remains high and significantly above the regulatory requirement. The solvency ratio is also in line with the internal criteria set out in the Group's risk strategy, which foresees an optimal level of solvency ratio between 180% and 220%.

The following graph shows the Group's solvency ratio ranges by quarter compared to the lower and upper limits of the optimal level of the solvency ratio under internal criteria.

Risk management

Group capital adequacy at 31 December 2021 and in 2022

Sava Re also uses the Solvency II standard formula for the solvency calculation. Capital adequacy is calculated annually, whereas an assessment of the solvency position is made each quarter. The quarterly solvency position is shown as the interval within which the Company's solvency ratio is estimated to lie in the quarter. Thus, the Company's estimated solvency position as at 30 September 2022 indicates that the Company is well capitalised, with a solvency ratio in the range of 269% to 279% (31 December 2021: 282%). As at 31 December 2021, the eligible own funds to cover the SCR totalled EUR 615.7 million; however, we estimate that they somewhat decreased by the end of the third quarter, chiefly as the result of the falling value of investments and participations in subsidiaries due to adverse developments in financial markets. The Company's solvency capital requirement (SCR) was EUR 218.0 million at 31 December 2021 and is estimated to have decreased slightly by the end of the third quarter, mainly due to a lower capital requirement for market risks as a result of the decline in the value of investments and participations in subsidiaries due to adverse movements in financial markets.

The Group and Sava Re have strong solvency ratios, and insolvency risk is small. We estimate that, despite the adverse impact of the macroeconomic environment, the Group and Sava Re will continue to maintain high solvency ratios at the end of 2022, well above the regulatory solvency ratio. The Group and Save Re also demonstrated the robustness of their solvency positions by two high-impact stress scenarios that were run as part of the 2022 own risk and solvency assessment (ORSA) (the inflation scenario and the EIOPA scenario, in which the EIOPA stress test shocks were applied).

11.2 Underwriting risks

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 one-point rise/drop in the net combined ratio relating to non-life (re)insurance business in the first three quarters of 2022 would result in a decrease/increase in the Group's profit before tax of EUR 4.0 million in the period (first nine months of 2021: EUR 3.9 million).

We estimate that exposure to underwriting risk increased compared to year-end 2021, mainly due to the increased risk of claims inflation in motor and property insurance business.

11.3 Financial risks

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

The value of the investment portfolio includes the following balance sheet items: financial investments, investment property, investments in associates and subsidiaries, cash and cash equivalents, and assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk (investments supporting the liabilities of unit-linked life business for which the insurer guarantees unit values).

11.3.1 Market risk

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

The investment portfolio exposed to market risk totalled EUR 1,375.5 million as at 30 September 2022.

Interest rate risk

The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 30 September 2022 was EUR 1,241.8 million (31 December 2021: EUR 1,422.5 million). Of this, EUR 674.4 million (31 December 2021: EUR 743.8 million) related to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and EUR 567.4 million (31 December 2021: EUR 678.8 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life business bonds and deposits was 3.5 years as at 30 September 2022 (31 December 2021: 4.1 years), and the expected maturity of non-life and reinsurance obligations was 2.0 years (31 December 2021: 2.1 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 4.8 years as at 30 September 2022 (31 December 2021: 5.4 years), with the average maturity of life liabilities at 5.4 years (31 December 2021: 6.0 years).

In the first nine months of 2022, we saw a significant rise in risk-free interest rates (curves) compared to 2021, mainly driven by the uncertainty regarding inflation trends in the next quarters. Rising interest rates had a negative impact on the valuation of debt securities. We estimate that interest rate risk increased in 2022.

Property risk

As at 30 September 2022, the value of the Group's investments exposed to property risk stood at EUR 32.0 million (31 December 2021: EUR 30.1 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 this 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 property risk by EUR 4.8 million (31 December 2021: EUR 4.5 million).

Property risk relating to investment property remained at approximately the same level as at year-end 2021.

Equity risk

The value of investments that the Group included in the equity risk calculation totalled EUR 84.2 million as at 30 September 2022 (31 December 2021: EUR 98.5 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 8.4 million (31 December 2021: EUR 9.8 million).

We estimate that, in the first nine months of 2022, the risk increased due to increased exchange rate volatility and uncertainty surrounding economic activity.

Currency risk

The Group monitors currency matching of assets and liabilities by the ALM aspect (accounting currencies are matched directly, i.e. they are matched with currencies with a high degree of correlation). Accordingly, the position was 98.5% matched as at 30 September 2022 (31 December 2021: 97.5%). However, based strictly on the accounting aspect, i.e. excluding correlations, the currency position was 95.5% matched as at 30 September 2022 (31 December 2021: 96.0%).

Matching risk remained at about the same level in the period compared to year-end 2021.

11.3.2 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 liquidity risk remained unchanged and low in the period under review in 2022.

11.3.3 Credit risk

Fixed-rate investments accounted for 85.4% of the total investment portfolio. As at 30 September 2022, fixed-rate investments rated "BBB-" or better accounted for 72.7% of the total fixed-rate portfolio (31 December 2021: 77.9%).

As at 30 September 2022, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 469.0 million, representing 32.0% of financial investments (31 December 2021: EUR 481.6 million; 29.3%). The largest single issuer of securities to which the Group is exposed is the exposure to Germany (30 September 2022: EUR 121.4 million; 8.3%; 31 December 2021: EUR 108.0 million; 6.6%) and to Slovenia (30 September 2022: EUR 98.2 million; 6.8%; 31 December 2021: EUR 124.1 million; 7.5%), and the maximum single exposure to any commercial issuer was 2.7% of the Group's financial investments and relates to the exposure to cash and cash equivalents.

We estimate that the Sava Insurance Group members managed credit risk well in the first nine months of 2022, mainly due to the reduced exposure to Slovenia, investing in sovereign issuers with a shorter maturity or better credit ratings and increasing diversification by issuer, region and industry.

We estimate that credit risk increased slightly in 2022, in particular due to increased market volatility and uncertainty surrounding economic activity.

11.3.4 Risk of failure to realise guaranteed returns

Investment contracts

The Group classifies as investment contracts the 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 168.4 million as at 30 September 2022, down by EUR 4.2 million from 31 December 2021.

The risk of failure to achieve guaranteed returns relates to liabilities of the Moj Zajamčeni fund (My Guaranteed Fund) (30 September 2022: EUR 135.4 million) and increased compared to year-end 2021 due to the depreciation of the fund's debt investments.

Traditional and unit-linked life insurance contracts with guaranteed return

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 interest guarantees. The realised return on financial investments was lower than the guaranteed return on the liabilities side. The shortage for the first nine months of 2022 was EUR 0.8 million (first nine months of 2021: surplus of EUR 3.8 million).

11.4 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 and are well managed. The Group's exposure to operational risk did not change significantly in the first nine months of 2022 compared to year-end 2021.

11.5 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. Owing to the increased uncertainty in the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment, we believe that risk increased compared to year-end 2021.

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.

The Group's strategic risks are actively managed. The Group's exposure to strategic risks remains elevated due to the deterioration in the macroeconomic environment (accelerated inflationary trends and the resulting impact on claims inflation) as well as the unpredictable geopolitical environment in view of the events of the first nine months of the year compared to year-end 2021.

11.6 Risk exposure up until year-end 2022

In the first nine months of the year, the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation was uncertain and the energy crisis was escalating, leading to further rises in already high consumer prices; we are therefore monitoring the situation closely. Until the end of 2022, we expect exposure to strategic risks to remain elevated given the situation, and the Group will seek to mitigate the risks accordingly. There will also be a rise in market risk and underwriting risk, especially related to claims inflation. Given that

Risk management

the realisation of underwriting risks is random, a higher realisation of underwriting risks could also occur in the event of an increase in the number of catastrophic events (either in Slovenia or abroad).

F S " nsuran e ontra ts"

On 25 June 2020, the International Accounting Standards Board (Board) issued the final accounting standard for insurance contracts IFRS 17, with the effective date 1 January 2023. IFRS 17 implements a completely new concept of accounting for insurance contracts, which significantly changes the existing long-standing practices. At Group level, a dedicated implementation task force was set up to implement IFRS 17 and has been active since 2018. In 2022, activities are underway to complete the project, in particular validating new methodologies and guidelines for the valuation of insurance contracts, setting up new processes to ensure timely reporting, performing transition calculations and the impact of the transition, completing all necessary new disclosures, preparing comparable data for 2022, setting up new and adjusted indicators.

The Group will determine the level of aggregation of insurance contracts into units of account and the method of measurement in accordance with the standard. It will use all three models for measurement, depending on the type of insurance contracts. As a general rule, it will use the general measurement model (GMM) for measurement, while a simpler measurement model (the premium allocation approach, PAA) will be used for insurance contracts with a duration of one year or less. For direct participation contracts, such as investment-linked life insurance contracts, the Group will use the variable fee approach (VFA).

IFRS 17 fundamentally changes the way in which financial statements are prepared and the information they provide. The impact on reported profit or loss will also be significant, especially for long-term contracts. Processes are changing significantly, and their refinement and consistent implementation will be key to the timeliness of the financial statements. Its implementation posed significant challenges for the Group and the Company, as it was necessary to make important adjustments to the actuarial models, to redefine the classification of insurance contracts from all the different aspects required by IFRS 17. It was necessary to implement a completely new tool to support all the necessary calculations, in line with IFRS 17, to ensure quality input data from existing IT systems and to build an adequate database.

Given that the standard introduces significant changes as described above and that the Group and the Company have not yet completed all IFRS 17 reporting activities, it is not currently possible to quantify

the impact on individual items of the balance sheet and income statement. However, we do expect the standard to have a significant impact on the level of profit/loss and equity.

13.2 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 the costs (expenses and income) that, by their nature, may or must be deferred at the year end.

13.3 Nature and amount of unusual items

The volatility of the macroeconomic and geopolitical environment in the first nine months also affected the performance and risks of the Group companies. The rise in the risk-free interest rate reduced the value of interest rate sensitive investments, resulting in a decline in the fair value reserve. There were no other extraordinary events affecting the Group's assets, liabilities, shareholders' equity, net profit/loss or cash flows. The impact of the macroeconomic situation and geopolitical events on business is presented in section 11 "Risk management".

13.4 Materiality

Equity was used as a basis for determining a materiality threshold for the condensed consolidated financial statements, specifically 2% thereof, which is EUR 7.9 million as at 30 September 2022. 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 condensed financial statements.

13.5 Issuance, repurchase and repayment of debt and equity securities

The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.

13.6 Key accounting estimates and judgements

The Group has prepared this interim report using the same principles concerning estimates as those applied for its annual report.

13.7 Segment reporting

Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments were formed through the aggregation of operations of companies that generate revenue and expenses, including revenue and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, based on similar services provided by companies (features of insurance products, market networks, and the circumstance in which companies operate).

The operating segments are reinsurance (reinsurance business), non-life (non-life insurance business), life (life insurance business, broken down into Slovenia and international), pensions and asset management (pension insurance business in Slovenia and North Macedonia, and fund management) and the "other" segment (assistance services associated with motor, home owners and health insurance business). Section 8 "Review of operations" explains in more detail how the companies are included in operating segments.

Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, with profit before tax 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 amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions on a quarterly basis.

13.8.2 Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets increased by EUR 22.3 million to EUR 27,805,782 in the period (31 December 2021: EUR 5,487,403). In the same period, deferred tax liabilities decreased by EUR 7.5 million to EUR 3,853,949 (31 December 2021: EUR 11,387,395). The drop in the prices of available-for-sale debt securities and the resulting decline in the fair value reserve is the main reason for the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

13.8.3 Financial investments

As at 30 September 2022, financial investments totalled EUR 1,298.4 million, down by EUR 174.3 million on year-end 2021. Compared to the end of the previous year, there was a decrease in assets classified as "available for sale" and "at fair value through profit or loss" due to revaluation effects. The value of assets classified as "held to maturity" and "loans and receivables" increased.

13.8.5 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

EUR 30 September
2022
31 December
2021
From unearned premiums 17,457,060 8,788,390
From provisions for claims outstanding 50,668,945 48,937,470
From other technical provisions 62,802 41,196
Total 68,188,807 57,767,056

The reinsurers' and co-insurers' share of technical provisions increased by EUR 10.4 million, or 18.0%. In addition, unearned premiums increased by EUR 8.7 million as the result of underwriting dynamics. Claims provisions also grew, fastest in the Slovenian non-life segment (by EUR 15.9 million), as the result of a major individual claim of a Group cedant, which will be largely born by retrocessionaires. In the reinsurance segment, however, they declined because of payouts from previously established provisions.

13.8.6 Receivables

Receivables rose by EUR 41.8 million compared to year-end 2021, mainly due to higher receivables due by policyholders (by EUR 29.0 million), while not-past-due receivables rose by EUR 31.4 million. Receivable increased due to the renewal of most annual non-life (re)insurance contracts with major policyholders (legal entities or cedants) and the timing of making estimates for reinsurance business.

Shareholders' equity decreased by 21.3%, or EUR 107.3 million, compared to year-end 2021. This decline in shareholders' equity was mainly due to the fair value reserve and the dividend payout.

13.8.9 Earnings or loss per share

The weighted average number of shares outstanding in the financial period was 15,497,696. As at 30 September 2022, the parent company held 1,721,966 own shares, which are subtracted when calculating the weighted average number of shares.

13.8.10 Technical provisions and technical provisions for the benefit of life insurance policyholders who bear the investment risk

Technical provisions increased by EUR 50.2 million, or 4.1%, compared to 31 December 2021.

  • The highest increase was in gross unearned premiums, up by EUR 50.7 million, or 24.5%, in line with the underwriting dynamics and also with the growth in non-life insurance premiums.
  • Claims provisions grew by EUR 11.2 million, or 1.9%, chiefly due to inflation adjustments, individual large claims, summer weather-related losses on the Slovenian portfolio, unfavourable exchange rate movements and some major storms that hit the inwards reinsurance portfolio in the third quarter.
  • The technical provisions for life insurance business (mathematical provisions for traditional life insurance) decreased by EUR 13.5 million, or 3.0%, due to the payouts for policy maturities in the Slovenian part of the portfolio.

Gross provisions for unit-linked business decreased by EUR 44.3 million, reflecting lower fund unit prices due to the trends in financial markets.

Liabilities from operating activities rose by EUR 5.9 million compared to year-end 2021. The largest increases are in liabilities to policyholders, up by EUR 2.9 million, and reinsurance and co-insurance liabilities, up by EUR 3.1 million, due to the renewal of annual reinsurance contracts.

The Group primarily measures its debt assets based on BID CBBT prices, which are unadjusted quoted prices, thus meeting the criteria for classification into level 1. If no CBBT price is available for a debt security in the OTC market, the BVAL price is used. An additional criterion to be applied is the BVAL score and the number of direct observations. The BVAL score is the basis for assessing the quality of the BVAL price, with a higher score indicating a better price quality in the market.
