In the first half of 2022, the Sava Insurance Group generated EUR 364.2 million in operating revenue, achieving more than half of the operating revenue planned for the full year 2022. Almost all the segments achieved half of the operating revenue planned for the full year. The Group wrote EUR 433.0 million in gross premiums, an increase of 4.5% compared to last year. The net profit for the period was EUR 28.9 million, accounting for almost half of the full-year target. As anticipated, the net profit generated by the Slovenian non-life segment was affected by higher motor claims frequency as a result of the subsiding epidemic impact. In addition, claims rose as the result of major loss events and weather-related claims, while claims provisions increased due to claims inflation. The half-year 2022 net expense ratio was better than planned, largely thanks to the Slovenian life and non-life segments, due to higher revenues and the timing of operating expenses. The net combined ratio is still within the planned range, despite the weaker claims development in the Slovenian non-life segment. The return on the investment portfolio is at the level planned for 2022.

Objectives achieved in the Group's strategic focus areas

Digital transformation & 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 multichannel solution in several Sava Insurance Group companies, with an emphasis on the management of multilevel 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. Sava Infond data are planned to be added in 2022.

The first paperless business intelligence processes have been implemented 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.

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

IT overhaul

As part of the IT overhaul of core business IT solutions, we:

  • continue implementing the solution for Zavarovalnica Sava (focus Croatian branch). We currently support two products that are in production; however, due to the new circumstance (introduction of the EURO in Croatia), we are prioritising the provision of currency-related functionalities in the existing and new IT system;
  • continue implementing the new solution for reinsurance operations at Sava Re;
  • continue implementing the GIS (Geographical Information System) and FROPS (Fraud Detection System) solutions at Zavarovalnica Sava;
  • continue to integrate target company data for the IFRS 17 project into the Group's central solution;
  • carry out regular maintenance and product development in companies' existing solutions.

As part of business reporting and data warehousing solutions, we:

  • are expanding the Zavarovalnica Sava data warehouse with new data sources;
  • are integrating the Sava Re data warehouse into the new core reinsurance business solution;
  • conduct testing and design complementary functionalities and data integration for IFRS 17 financial reporting purposes, while reviewing data quality at the target subsidiaries.

Regarding infrastructure, we

  • provided ongoing support for various development projects in the field of business applications;
  • implemented additional preventive/detective controls to meet the needs of IT operations, thereby mitigating infrastructure management risks;
  • started piloting a new IT service management solution to support IT business processes;
  • launched a call for tender for the planned periodic partial replacement of equipment in the central data centre (servers, disk arrays, licences).

Regarding IT security, we:

  • upgraded defence and detective capabilities with new technical solutions for faster identification and forensics of potential security events;
  • upgraded and extended the internal control system in security information and event management solutions;
  • upgraded the IT security management process at the Group level by expanding business and audit insight into work processes;
  • carried out crisis response training for cyber incidents.

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 Group reported on its progress on sustainable development in its 2021 sustainability report, published on 26 April 2022 on its website, while intensive work has been underway on designing the 2023–2027 strategic plan.

The Sava Insurance Group is actively preparing a plan for the next strategic 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.

Working groups, including representatives of the subsidiaries, were active to ensure proper implementation of EU regulation. In August 2022, two delegated regulations entered into force; namely, Delegated Regulation 2021/1257 regulating the integration of sustainability factors, risks and preferences into the product oversight and governance and Delegated Regulation 2021/1256 concerning the integration of sustainability risks in the governance of insurance and reinsurance undertakings. Thus, the companies issued relevant documents and guidance on the implementation of the legal requirements, prepared appropriate information for customers on sustainability factors for individual insurance products, while coordinating other relevant documents. The Remuneration Policy for the Members of Management and Supervisory Bodies of Sava Re d.d. was revised and presented at the general meeting of shareholders, but no resolution to approve it was adopted. Although the Directors' Remuneration Policy is valid and consistent with the law, it is not fully aligned with the recommendations of the shareholder Slovenian Sovereign Holding, which were published in 2022. The Company will examine the deviations from the recommendations of this shareholder, will seek any clarification and amend them by the next Sava Re annual general meeting.

4 Significant events in the six months to 30 June 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 results. 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".
  • In the first half of 2022, the focus was on high inflation growth and the resulting increased activity of the US and European central banks to raise key interest rates. Geopolitical tensions remained elevated due to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine. It is likely to be protracted and will continue to drive up energy prices. There is also heightened uncertainty about the prospect of a recession over the next quarters, which, in addition to the risks already mentioned, affects equity and bond market volatility. Despite the falling equity prices in the first half of 2022, a relative comparison with bonds reveals that equity markets are, for the time being, more resilient to increased risks, such as inflation, a possible recession, the energy crisis and geopolitical risk in Europe. In particular, the risks of a possible recession are not yet fully reflected in share prices, and there could be further downward trends in the coming quarters. In the bond market, the upward trend in the required rate of return on bonds continued, leading to a sharp decline in the value of bond investments. Bond market developments will continue to depend mainly on central bank activity, which will seek to balance elevated inflation with expected developments in economic activity. The Sava Insurance Group will continue to closely monitor the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation and developments in the capital markets and 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 issued a judgement in favour of Zavarovalnica Sava, confirming the company's view that the business interruption and loss of licence policy of Zavarovalnica Sava does not provide coverage for events caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

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 half of 2022. The 10 largest shareholders held a combined share of 68.1% of the share capital and 75.7% of voting rights.

Fiduciary accounts with banks, attorneys and other financial institutions altogether account for 24.8% of all POSR shares.

Details on dividends6

Contingent capital

The Company had no conditional equity as at 30 June 2022.

6 Current year dividend distributions from distributable profits of the previous year. The dividend yield has been calculated as the ratio of the dividend per share to the rolling average share price in the payout year. In the most recent year, the rolling average share price in the period 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 has been used.

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 include the following companies8 :

  • 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);
  • 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 this way, 67.6% of operating expenses were allocated to the segments in the first half of 2022 (in the first half of 2021: 67.5%). 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.

7 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 indent one of reallocations of income statement items.
  • Subordinated liabilities are shown in the "other" segment.

Summary consolidated income statement

The key impact on the profit for the first half of 2022 compared to the same period of 2021 is a lower underwriting result, that is, higher incurred claims in the Slovenian non-life segment because of an increase in motor claims frequency due to the subsiding impact of the epidemic. In addition, property claims rose as the result of major loss events and weather-related claims, while claims provisions were also affected by claims inflation. The recent rapid growth in inflation was not anticipated by governments, neither in Europe nor globally. As a result, insurers have not been able to take it into account when pricing their insurance products, from which claims are paid out up to a year, or even longer, after policies are sold. The price increases of insurance products in recent months are to offset the inflationary rise in claims on newly sold business.

The Group achieved almost half of its annual plan in the first half of the year, and the half-year result is an improvement on the last pre-Covid half-year result (H1 2019).

In the income statement, exchange differences are recorded within the items to which the exchange differences relate. 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 and the cumulative effect of exchange rate differences on the income statement. In the following, we explain the categories most affected by exchange rate differences without 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 half of 2022, the Group realised higher gains on the sale of investments than in the same period last year. The lower net investment income is due to the depreciation of FVTPL assets as a result of the increased required yield in the financial markets.

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 result mainly reflects lower net claims incurred and higher net premiums earned, driven by favourable price developments in global reinsurance markets and a benign claims development. The 2022 half-year investment result was lower year on year due to fair value changes in FVTPL assets.

Net premiums earned 50,849,932 49,993,397 101.7

The increase in gross premiums written was mainly driven by a 16.8% increase in non-proportional reinsurance premiums. Underwriting year 2022 premiums increased by 11.0%, or EUR 6.4 million, compared to 2021; prior underwriting year premiums dropped by EUR 2.8 million, primarily in the proportional business. Net premiums earned grew in line with gross premiums written.

Gross claims paid 39,789,216 23,844,156 166.9
Net claims incurred 30,964,371 32,343,740 95.7

The higher gross claims paid are due to the payment of claims from previous underwriting years. As these were paid out of established claims provisions, they had no impact on the result. The trend in net claims incurred was affected by the favourable development of contracts written, and an effective reinsurance programme protecting both against major claims and a material impact on profit.

The net incurred loss ratio of the reinsurance segment decreased to 61.4% (first half of 2021: 63.6%).

Net operating expenses 13,427,616 13,791,944 97.4

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 2.4 p.p. compared to the first half of 2021 to 18.7%.

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

In the first half of 2022, the net expense ratio declined by 1.2 p.p. year on year to 26.4%.

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 half of 2022 was impacted by the developments in financial markets, as described in section 4 "Significant events in the first half of 2022". Due to expenses for fair value changes of FVTPL assets, net investment income totalled EUR 1.0 million, an investment return of 0.7%.

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 year-on-year decline in the profit of the non-life segment is mainly due weaker technical performance, that is, higher claims incurred in the Slovenian part of the segment. As the pandemic impact subsided, the claims frequency in motor business rose again. In addition, property claims increased as the result of major loss events and weather-related claims, while claims provisions were also affected by claims inflation. International non-life business did not experience such movements and improved its profit by EUR 1.4 million. The main contributor to the better result of the non-Slovenian non-life insurers was higher premium income.

Net investment income was similarly exposed to the changed financial market conditions, where the Slovenian part saw an increase of EUR 1.0 million in expenses related to fair value changes of FVTPL (fair-value-though-profit-or-loss) assets. However, net investment income generated by the non-Slovenian non-life insurance companies remained at the year-on-year level.

The result from other income and expenses of the Slovenian non-life insurers was EUR 0.3 million higher, and the result of the foreign non-life insurers rose by EUR 0.2 million.

Growth in gross non-life premiums was achieved in both the domestic and international part of the segment. Net premiums earned, however, remained on last year's level. The decrease in the domestic part (due to a drop in unearned premiums related to FoS business last year because much of this business had been discontinued, and higher growth in gross premiums written and the associated increase in gross unearned premiums in the other non-life business this year) was offset by higher net premiums earned in the non-Slovenian part of this segment, which achieved 16.3% growth in gross premiums written.

While FoS-related gross premiums written dropped by EUR 4.0 million, this premium loss was offset by other non-life premiums both in Slovenia and abroad. The largest growth in non-life gross premiums written was achieved in motor business. In Slovenia, gross motor premiums grew mainly in the personal motor segment as the result of a rise in the number of policies sold and growth in average premiums. 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 other markets.

Gross non-life insurance premiums by class of business15

15 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.

As regards the composition of gross premiums written by class of insurance in the first half of 2022, there was a year-on-year rise in the proportion of land motor vehicles insurance and a drop in the proportion of property business and general liability insurance 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 12.6 million. Net claims incurred relating to FoS business decreased, mainly reflecting a drop in gross claims provisions due to the settlement of claims and the closure of certain 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 judgment in the Republic of Ireland in May 2022. In other Slovenian non-life business, net claims incurred increased due to a rise in gross motor claims (because of higher claim frequency after the impact of the epidemic eased), a rise in gross property claims due to major individual claims and weather-related claims, and growth in claims provisions as the result of individual major claims, weather-related claims and claims inflation.

In the foreign non-life segment, the increase in net claims incurred of EUR 1.1 million mainly relates to a decrease in gross claims provisions at Zavarovalnica Sava's Croatian branch last year because of portfolio optimisation and shrinkage, while they remained almost unchanged this year.

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

In the first half of 2022, gross non-life claims rose due to a 30.8% rise in Slovenian gross non-life claims, whereas gross claims paid by the non-Slovenian non-life insurers dropped by 3.1%.

The rise in gross claims paid by the Slovenian non-life insurers is mainly driven by the rise in gross motor and property claims. The former rose as the result of an increase in the number of reported claims compared to the previous year, when the measures related to Covid-19 pandemic were more stringent, and as a result of an increase in the average incurred claim because of additional equipment and assistance systems 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, however, grew because of individual major loss events and weather-related events.

Gross claims paid by the international insurers dropped by EUR 0.6 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.

Acquisition costs decreased by 3.3%, mainly due to a decrease in gross premiums written in the FoS business.

Other operating expenses rose by 11.7% in the first half of 2022, driven by the payout of a cost-ofliving bonus, somewhat higher IT costs and rising electricity prices.

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 0.4 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 3.3 p.p. as a result of the rise in gross premiums written.

Net investment income

Investment return and net investment income (non-life insurance)

In the first half of 2022, net investment income of non-life companies totalled EUR 3.0 million, down by EUR 1.0 million year on year. Net investment income was lower, chiefly due to higher expenses for fair value changes of FVTPL assets. The return on investment for the period was 1.0%.

Unconsolidated gross life premiums of Sava Insurance Group companies

In the first half of 2022, gross claims paid by the Slovenian life insurers dropped by 3.5% year on year. Despite very 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 half of 2022, gross premiums written by the non-Slovenian life insurers rose by a full 22.9% year on year. Premium growth was mostly driven 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 grew, 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.

Unconsolidated gross life claims paid by Sava Insurance Group companies

In the first half of 2022, gross claims paid in Slovenia declined by 1.8% year on year, mainly because of lower gross claims paid at Zavarovalnica Sava. The 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, as the investment risk is borne by the policyholders. The change in the value of the provisions and of the associated investments is recognised through 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 as a result of new contributions, a decrease as a result of claims payments, a decrease as a result of the deduction of booked expenses). Because of the losses in the Slovenian unit-linked life business, net claims incurred, including the change in other and the unit-linked business, were also significantly lower this year.

Gross claims paid by the international insurers in the first half of 2022 were up by 9.7% year on year: in Croatia because of maturities, in Kosovo mainly because of surrenders and in Serbia due to increased mortality. Growth in gross claims paid by the foreign insurers, however, largely follows the growth in portfolios.

In the first half of 2022, policy acquisition expenses rose by 17.1% year on year, in line with larger sales in most of the companies. The difference in the change in deferred acquisition costs between the two years relates to Slovenian life business.

In the first half of 2022, other operating expenses rose by 4.4% year on year, especially personnel costs, driven by higher staffing levels (particularly in sales) and a one-off payment of a cost-of-living bonus payout. Other costs also rose because of price increases.

Gross expense ratio, life segment

The consolidated gross expense ratio of the Slovenian insurers rose by 1.9 p.p. year on year, largely reflecting lower gross premiums written and higher policy acquisition costs. Life insurance companies outside Slovenia saw a rise in the gross expense ratio of 0.6 p.p., mainly due to higher acquisition and personnel costs.

Net investment income

Investment return and net investment income (life insurance)

In the first half of 2022, net investment income relating to life business totalled EUR 5.6 million, up EUR 1.0 million year on year.

The annuity part comprises the operations of Sava Pokojninska. The gross premiums written relate to the annuity fund and decreased by 4.0% in the first half of 2022 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 31.2% in the first half of 2022 compared to the previous year. As annuity fund assets increased over the recent years (when policyholders achieved retirement age), annuity payouts to policyholders also increased, which is recorded under gross claims paid.

The change in other net technical provisions comprises the change in the technical provisions for annuity funds, and it 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 6.0%, 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 13.2%, 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 10.1% because of the unfavourable trends in financial markets in the second quarter of the year.

The liability funds of the Slovenian pension company generated a return of -6.0% in the first half of 2022 (first half of 2021: 2.0%); the mandatory and voluntary pension funds managed by the North Macedonian pension company made a return of -3.4% (first half of 2021: 5.2%); the Slovenian company for managing mutual funds recorded a return of -16.6% on mutual funds (first half of 2021: 10.7%). The negative returns in the first half 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 pre-tax profit dropped due to adverse developments in the financial markets (effect of falling value of assets taken through profit or loss) and the strengthening of provisions for non-achievement of the guaranteed return by the Slovenian pension company. The North Macedonian pension company and the Slovenian mutual fund management company contributed more to the consolidated result of the pensions and asset management segment in the first half of this year than in the comparable period last year.

Net investment income

Income, expenses and net investment income relating to investment portfolio (pensions and asset management segment)16

In the first half of 2022, net investment income relating to the portfolio of the pension companies totalled EUR 1.1 million, down by EUR 1.4 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 -5.0%.

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".

This "other" segment comprises 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 half of 2022:

  • the sale of the company S Estate, which resulted in a gain of EUR 1.0 million,
  • DCB and G2I, which contributed EUR 0.9 million (first half of 2021: EUR 0.5 million),
  • TBS Team 24, which contributed EUR 0.4 million (first half of 2021: EUR 0.2 million).

Interest expense on subordinated debt amounted to EUR 1.4 million in the first half of 2022, roughly unchanged year on year.

16 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.

As at 30 June 2022, total assets of the Sava Insurance Group stood at EUR 2,605.3 million, a decline of 2.0% from year-end 2021, which is largely due to financial market developments. Below we set out items of assets and liabilities in excess of 5% of total assets as at 30 June 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 11.2 million relates to larger property, plant and equipment in progress assets of Zavarovalnica Sava due to the construction of a new office building.

9.1.2 Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets (4) increased by EUR 13.6 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 1,466,087,978 1,581,426,876 -115,338,897 92.7

As at 30 June 2022, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,466.1 million, a decline of EUR 115.3 million from year-end 2021. The decrease in the investment portfolio was mainly due to 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. The increase in financial investments in associates includes EUR 0.9 million from the attribution of profit of equityaccounted entities.

There have been no major changes in the composition of the investment portfolio. The proportion of fixed-rate investments remained at the year-end level. The decrease in the proportion of equity securities (shares and mutual funds) is mainly due to sales of these investments to align the investment portfolio with the Sustainability Investment Policy. Cash and cash equivalents increased as the result of the planned dividend payout of a subsidiary. The proportion of investments 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 June 2022, financial investments totalled EUR 469.7 million, while cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 9.5 million. Thus, assets decreased by EUR 52.9 million compared to 31 December 2021. This decline was mainly due to the depreciation of mutual fund assets as well as other policyholders' assets of EUR 65.5 million and net positive inflows of EUR 14.2 million (inflows of EUR 91.1 million, outflows of EUR 76.7 million).

9.1.5 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

The reinsurers' share of technical provisions (9) increased by 40.0%, or EUR 23.1 million, compared to year-end 2021. The largest increase in claims provisions was in the Slovenian non-life segment (of EUR 15.9 million), driven by a major individual claim, which, however, is largely borne by reinsurers outside the Group. In the reinsurance segment, claims provisions decreased due to the payment of catastrophe claims out of claims provisions set aside already in 2021. Unearned premiums rose by EUR 8.8 million, with the largest increase in the Slovenian non-life segment (due to the timing of underwriting business).

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 part of the assets of the annuity fund, the policies of which do not qualify as insurance contracts. As at 30 June 2022, investment contract assets totalled EUR 166.7 million, down by 3.6% compared to 31 December 2021.

This decrease was mainly due to a decline in the value of investments of EUR 9.9 million as the result of the situation in financial markets, net inflows of EUR 2.4 million (first half of 2022: EUR 6.5 million of inflows and EUR 4.2 million of outflows including entry charges) and a EUR 1.2 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 166,699,363 172,836,349 -6,136,986 96.4

9.1.7 Receivables

Receivables (11) increased by 43.7%, or EUR 65.5 million, compared to year-end 2021 (30 June 2021: increase of 20.4%, or EUR 31.5 million, compared to year-end 2020). The largest increase was with receivables arising from primary insurance business, up by EUR 47.7 million, or 37.1%, compared to 31 December 2021, with a EUR 43.2 million increase in not-past-due receivables and a EUR 4.8 million increase in receivables past due up to 180 days. Receivables past due less than 1 year decreased by EUR 0.1 million, and receivables past due more than 1 year by EUR 0.3 million. In absolute terms, the largest increase in receivables arising from primary insurance business was in the Slovenian non-life segment (an increase of EUR 22.0 million; 30 June 2021: an increase of EUR 8.8 million compared to year-end 2020), in the reinsurance segment (an increase of EUR 19.2 million; 30 June 2021: an increase of EUR 15.5 million from year-end 2020). 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.

Receivables arising from reinsurance and co-insurance business rose by EUR 11.5 million, or 127.1%, from 31 December 2021. This increase is driven by the reinsurance segment, as receivables arising out of reinsurance business rose by EUR 12.2 million, especially because of some major loss events.

Current tax assets increased by EUR 2.7 million compared to 31 December 2021, with most of the increase coming from the Slovenian non-life segment.

Other receivables rose by EUR 3.6 million compared to the end of 2021 – an increase of EUR 2.0 million in the Slovenian life segment due to mutual fund inflows and maturing of investments just before the end of the period, and of EUR 1.1 million in the Slovenian non-life segment, mainly due to prepayments made for FoS claims.

9.2.1 Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity (1) decreased by 18.1%, or EUR 91.4 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. The decline in equity because of the dividend payout in the first half of the year of EUR 23.2 million was more than offset by the net profit for the period of EUR 28.9 million.

9.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item on the liabilities side. The balance as at 30 June 2022 was an increase of 5.7%, or EUR 70.8 million, over year-end 2021.

Consolidated gross technical provisions

Gross technical provisions 1,308,324,167 1,237,500,117 105.7

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life segment grew by 12.3%, or EUR 67.5 million, compared to year-end 2021. Of this, unearned premiums grew by EUR 50.7 million (in the first half of 2021: EUR 34.0 million) as a result of increased business volume, and claims provisions increased by EUR 15.1 million (individual large claims and summer weather-related loss events).

Gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 6.6%, or EUR 14.9 million, compared to year-end 2021. The increase is due to the rise in unearned premiums as the result of the annual dynamics of underwriting reinsurance business (increase of EUR 18.1 million; first half of 2021: of EUR 15.7 million), whereas claims provisions decreased by EUR 3.4 million (due to catastrophic claims paid out of the claims provisions at the beginning of the 2022).

Gross mathematical provisions declined by 2.6%, or EUR 11.4 million, 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.

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 2.0 million from year-end 2021, which chiefly relates to the reinsurance segment (larger volume of business and higher unearned premiums for marine reinsurance) and 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 479.0 million as at 30 June 2022 and increased by 8.6%, or EUR 45.2 million, mainly due to movements in financial markets and, consequently, fund unit prices.

9.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 166.5 million as at 30 June 2022, down 3.5%, or EUR 6.1 million, from 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.

9.2.5 Other financial liabilities

Other financial liabilities (8) rose by EUR 23.3 million. These liabilities relate to the Sava Re dividend payout. Dividends were paid out on 12 July 2022.

9.2.6 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities from operating activities (9) totalled EUR 66.9 million as at 30 June 2022, up 22.1%, or EUR 12.1 million, compared to year-end 2021 (30 June 2021: increase of EUR 3.9 million). Liabilities from primary insurance business rose by EUR 8.8 million because of liabilities for claim payments and commissions; reinsurance and co-insurance liabilities rose by EUR 4.5 million, reflecting a larger volume of annual reinsurance treaties renewed; and current tax liabilities declined by EUR 1.2 million due to a lower net profit of the Slovenian non-life segment.

9.2.7 Other liabilities

Other liabilities (11) decreased by EUR 9.5 million, especially other accrued costs and deferred liabilities relating to the Slovenian non-life segment, where premiums received are recorded until recognised in the income statement, that is, premiums received prior to the coverage period.

9.3 Financing sources and their maturity

As at 30 June 2022, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 412.7 million in shareholders' equity and EUR 76.3 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 June 2022, the market price of the bond was 91.724% and the market value EUR 70,603,788 (31 December 2021: the market price 103.532%, the market value EUR 78,065,096).

9.4 Cash flow

In the first half of 2022, the Sava Insurance Group generated an operating cash flow of EUR 22.1 million (first half of 2021: EUR 66.0 million). Payments of claims and expenses were higher in this period year on year, and premium receipts were lower.

Net cash inflows from investing activities were higher (EUR 22.0 million, compared to cash outflows of EUR 37.8 million last year) due to the dynamics of the management of the securities portfolio, including the investments of policyholders who bear the investment risk. The increase in cash disbursements in investing activities was driven by a new capital expenditure (EUR 7.1 million).

The Group posted net cash used in financing activities in the amount of EUR 43,948 (2021: EUR 13.2 million). In 2021, the Sava Insurance Group paid out dividends in the first half of the year, whereas in 2022 dividends were paid out on 12 July 2022.

The closing balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 34.3 million in the first half of 2022. The net cash flow for the first half of 2022 was EUR 29.1 million above the year-on-year figure.

The table above shows the number of employees calculated on a full-time equivalent basis. The decrease in the number of employees at Zavarovalnica Sava and the increase at Sava Neživotno Osiguranje was due to fluctuations in the number of employees in the agency network.

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. 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 2021 Sava Insurance Group annual report and are therefore not repeated in this report.

The war in Ukraine has significantly changed the geopolitical situation, which had an impact on the performance and risks of the Group companies. Nevertheless, 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 results. More information on this has already been provided in the annual report of the Sava Insurance Group and Save Re d.d., in section 2.3 "Significant events after the reporting date".

In the first half of the year, larger impacts on Group operations came indirectly from adverse impacts on the macroeconomic environment. The changed circumstances and the associated commodity and energy market shocks have further increased inflation expectations and the uncertainty about future economic activity. The rising risk-free interest rate and widening credit spreads (also discussed in section 11.3.3 "Credit risk") drove up the required yields on debt securities, resulting in lower values of bond investments, which in turn led to a decline in the fair value reserve.

The volatility of the macroeconomic environment has also been reflected in equity and currency markets, where we have seen falling equity prices and a weakening of the euro. Inflation expectations have also indirectly contributed to price hikes, resulting in increased claims inflation. The Sava Insurance Group responded appropriately by adjusting prices to limit the impact of claims inflation on our business results.

Regarding the legal regulatory risk relating to business interruption coverage associated with Covid-19, specifically that policy conditions for business interruption covers could be interpreted unfavourably in some markets (English speaking countries, direct FoS business in the Republic of Ireland), which could result in additional claim payments, the High Court of Dublin ruled in favour of the Group, confirming that the business interruption and loss of licence policy wording of Zavarovalnica Sava does not provide cover for losses arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The Sava Insurance Group is no longer exposed to significant risks in this respect.

11.1 Capital adequacy and capital management

The Sava Insurance Group calculates its solvency position using the Solvency II standard formula. The quarterly capital adequacy calculation is regularly performed after the release of the financial report, which is why the capital adequacy figure is published with a lag of one quarter. Thus, the calculation of the Group's solvency position as at 31 March 2022 shows that the Group is well capitalised and has a solvency ratio of 196% (31 December 2021: 198%). The calculation takes into account the Group's solvency capital requirement (SCR) as at 31 December 2021 of EUR 304.4 million and the eligible own funds to cover the SCR at 31 March 2022 of EUR 597.2 million (31 December 2021: EUR 601.3 million). The Group's eligible own funds as at 31 March 2022 declined compared to 31 December 2021, primarily as the result the depreciation of investments driven by adverse movements in financial markets. We estimate that the solvency ratio as at 30 June 2022 has not significantly changed despite the decrease in equity due to the change in the fair value reserve relating to financial investments.

Sava Re also uses the Solvency II standard formula for the solvency calculation. Since, at the time of writing this report and as explained above, Sava Re does not yet have available data for the calculation of the solvency position as at 30 June 2022, data is provided for the calculation as at 31 March 2022. The calculation of the Company's solvency position as at 31 March 2022 shows that the it is well capitalised and has a solvency ratio of 277% (31 December 2021: 282%). The calculation takes into account the Company's solvency capital requirement (SCR) at 31 December 2021 of EUR 218.0 million and the eligible own funds to cover the SCR at 31 March 2022 of EUR 603.9 million (31 December 2021: EUR 615.7 million). The eligible own funds of Sava Re as at 31 March 2022 declined compared to 31 December 2021, primarily as the result the depreciation of investments and participations in subsidiaries driven by 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 the first half 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 rise/drop in the Group's net combined ratio relating to non-life (re)insurance business of one percentage point in the first half of 2022, would decrease/increase its profit before tax by EUR 2.6 million in the period (first half of 2021: EUR 2.5 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.

As already mentioned in the introduction to risk management, the Sava Insurance Group is no longer exposed to significant risk from legal regulatory risk associated with business interruption coverage in connection with Covid-19.

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 subsidiaries and associates, cash and cash equivalents, and assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk (investments supporting liabilities of unit-linked life policies under which the insurer provides guaranteed net asset 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 1,392.4 million as at 30 June 2022.

Interest rate risk

The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 30 June 2022 was EUR 1,255.2 million (31 December 2021: EUR 1,422.5 million). Of this, EUR 666.4 million (31 December 2021: EUR 743.8 million) related to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and EUR 588.8 million (31 December 2021: EUR 678.8 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life business bonds and deposits was 3.70 years as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: 4.06 years), and the expected maturity of non-life and reinsurance obligations was 1.87 years (31 December 2021: 2.10 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 5.04 years as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: 5.43 years), with the average maturity of life liabilities at 5.11 years (31 December 2021: 6.04 years).

In the first half of 2022, we saw a 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 June 2022, the value of the Group's investments exposed to property risk stood at EUR 30.4 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 4.6 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 91.8 million as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: EUR 98.5 million). A 10% drop in equity prices would result in a decline of EUR 9.2 million (31 December 2021: EUR 9.8 million).

We estimate that, in the first half 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 98.6% matched as at 30 June 2022 (31 December 2021: 97.5%). However, based strictly on the accounting aspect, i.e. excluding correlations, the currency position was 96.0% matched as at 30 June 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 92.5% of the total investment portfolio. As at 30 June 2022, fixed-rate investments rated "BBB-" or better accounted for 76.2% of the total fixed-rate portfolio (31 December 2021: 77.9%).

As at 30 June 2022, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 483.7 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 Republic of Slovenia (30 June 2022: EUR 103.6 million; 6.8%; 31 December 2021: EUR 124.1 million; 7.5%), and the maximum single exposure to any commercial issuer was 2.9% of the Group's financial investments and relates to the exposure to cash and cash equivalents.

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 half of 2022.

We estimate that, in the first half of 2022, credit risk increased slightly, 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 166.7 million as at 30 June 2022, down by EUR 6.1 million from 31 December 2021.

The risk of failure to achieve guaranteed returns relates to liabilities of Moj Zajamčeni fund (My Guaranteed Fund) (30 June 2022: EUR 134.8 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 guaranteed return. The realised return on financial investments was lower than the guaranteed return on the liabilities side. The shortfall for the first half of 2022 was EUR 1.0 million (first half of 2021: surplus of EUR 0.7 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 half 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.

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 increased 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 half of the year compared to end of 2021.

11.6 Risk exposure up until year-end 2022

In the first half of the year, the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation was uncertain, mainly due to the war in Ukraine, 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 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).

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 June 2022 compared to year-end 2021 and the performance of the Group in the first half of 2022 compared to the first half of 2021.

13.1 Overview of major accounting policies

The financial statements with notes have been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting".

In accordance with IAS 34, explanatory notes are provided for events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position and performance of the Group since the last annual financial report prepared for 2021.

The financial statements with notes as at and for the six months to 30 June 2022 have not been audited.

The interim condensed financial statements as at 30 June 2022 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2021.

IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts"

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 the significant changes 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.

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

On top of the generally unfavourable macroeconomic trends, the war in Ukraine further significantly changed the geopolitical situation in the first half of the year, which also had an impact on the performance and risks of the Group's 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 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 8.3 million as at 30 June 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. 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.

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 13.6 million to EUR 19,100,552 in the first half of 2022 (31 December 2021: EUR 5,487,403). In the same period, deferred tax liabilities decreased by EUR 7.9 million to EUR 3,455,631 (31 December 2021: EUR 11,387,395). The drop in the prices of available-forsale 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 June 2022, financial investments totalled EUR 1,307.4 million, down by EUR 165.2 million on year-end 2021.

13.8.5 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

EUR 30 June 2022 31 December 2021
From unearned premiums 17,637,120 8,788,390
From provisions for claims outstanding 63,223,349 48,937,470
From other technical provisions 40,431 41,196
Total 80,900,900 57,767,056

The reinsurers' and co-insurers' share of technical provisions increased by EUR 23.1 million, or 40.0%. In addition, unearned premiums increased by EUR 8.8 million as the result of underwriting dynamics. Claims provisions also increased, most notably in the Slovenian non-life segment (by EUR 15.9 million), as a result of a major individual claim of a Group cedant, which will be mostly born by retrocessionaires.

13.8.6 Receivables

Receivables rose by EUR 65.5 million compared to year-end 2021, mainly due to higher receivables due by policyholders (by EUR 46.4 million), while not-past-due receivables rose by EUR 43.1 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.

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 70.8 million, or 5.7%, compared to 31 December 2021.

  • The highest increase was in gross unearned premiums, up by EUR 68.9 million or 33.3%, in line with the underwriting dynamics and also with the growth in non-life insurance premiums.
  • Claims provisions increased by EUR 11.3 million, or 2.0%, chiefly as the result of certain major claims and summer weather-related losses.
  • The technical provisions for life insurance business (mathematical provisions for traditional life insurance) decreased by EUR 11.4 million, or 2.6%, due to the payouts for policy maturities in the Slovenian part of the portfolio.

Gross provisions for unit-linked business decreased by EUR 45.2 million, reflecting lower fund unit prices due to the trends in financial markets.

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.
