Introduction

The table below compares actual figures against the 2022 full-year plan:

EUR million 1–3/2022 2022 plan As % of plan
Operating revenue 177.8 > 700 25.4%
Profit or loss, net of tax 16.8 > 60 27.9%
Return on equity (ROE) 13.4% ≥ 11.5%
Net expense ratio* 27.4% 31–32%
Investment return/* 1.3% 1.4%
Net combined ratio (reins. + non-life)* 90.8% < 94%

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

* Excluding the effect of exchange differences.

** Subordinated debt expenses are excluded.

In the first quarter of 2022, the Sava Insurance Group wrote EUR 177.8 million in operating revenue, largely unchanged year on year and a quarter of the operating revenue planned for the whole of 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, almost all operating segments reached about one quarter of the revenue planned for the full year.

The net profit for the period was EUR 16.8 million, which is 28.6% below the year-on-year figure and 27.9% of the lower end of the full-year 2022 target range.

The first-quarter 2022 net expense ratio was better than planned. The improvement in the expense ratio was chiefly due to the Slovenian life and non-life segments because of higher revenues and the dynamics of operating expenses. The return on the investment portfolio declined modestly year on year and was lower than the 2022 target.

Realising target increases/decreases in consolidated operating revenue by segment

1–3/2022 2022 plan
Reinsurance -5% -16%
Non-life, Slovenia -4% -2%
Life, Slovenia 4% 2%
Non-life, international 6% 6%
Life, international 30% 17%
Pensions and AM 19% 13%
Other 29% 4%

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.

We launched and upgraded the SavaNet portal, now containing data on Zavarovalnica Sava and Sava Pokojninska. The addition of Sava Infond data is planned for 2022.

The first paperless business communication processes were implemented in the Group, and additional business communication processes will be integrated going forward. 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, 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 at the other Group companies.

IT overhaul

As part of our IT overhaul projects for core insurance systems:

  • we continued implementing the IT solution supporting insurance operations in the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava, with the "Kasko" and "Putno" insurance products going into production;
  • we continued work on the operational part of the project for implementing a reinsurance IT solution at Sava Re;
  • Zavarovalnica Sava started work on the specialised solutions project to implement GIS (Geographical Information System) and FROPS (Fraud, Risk and Operational Performance Solution).

In the consolidated data warehouse of Zavarovalnica Sava, we continued to implement our development goals of expanding through new data sources, integrating extended additional content and applying the solution in other Group companies.

In terms of infrastructure, we ensured ongoing support to various development projects and upgraded supervisory management processes while improving the efficiency of infrastructure support.

We upgraded the operational control management of the organisational process for IT security by expanding the team composition (representatives of management, auditing, DPO, etc.) to oversee the expansion/contraction of the IT security control environment. Due to the increased risk of cyber attacks (related to the Ukraine–Russia conflict), we upgraded our control environment and further reduced the risk of Sava infrastructure being compromised.

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 is on implementing these criteria in a number of areas: investment management, insurance and reinsurance underwriting, development of insurance services and purchasing.

In January 2022, the management board of Sava Re adopted the Sava Insurance Group Guidelines for Responsible Underwriting of Environmental, Social and Governance Risks in the Non-life Segment to minimise exposure to ESG risks when underwriting non-life insurance.

The first quarter of 2022 was mainly devoted to reporting in line with EU regulation – that is, the Taxonomy – and annual sustainability reporting.

Working groups were set up, including representatives of the subsidiaries, to ensure proper implementation of EU regulation. In August, two delegated regulations enter into force: 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. Preparations for reporting under the SFDR, the Taxonomy and the CSRD are also being intensively pursued.

In the first quarter of 2022, we also worked on the calculation of GHG emissions for the Group as a whole and reviewed options to reduce them in the next strategic period.

A strong emphasis was placed on corporate volunteering, which is to become a year-round activity of the Heart for the World initiative. A survey was carried out to find out which areas of volunteering are of interest to staff, outside consultants were involved and an action plan for the whole Group was developed.

In addition, much work has been done to prepare guidelines and objectives for the next strategic period.

The Group reported on the implementation of its sustainability strategy in its 2021 sustainability report, posted on its website on 26 April 2022.

1.4 Significant events in the first quarter of 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) has written 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 three months of 2022, there was a sharp rise in the inflation rate, which experts and analysts believe is no longer transitory. It is additionally fuelled by the war in Ukraine, notably through shocks to the oil and energy markets, but also through the tightening of supply chains and the unavailability of certain commodities. As a result, central banks were forced to act, changing their rhetoric significantly and announcing a reduction and later an end to quantitative easing and a gradual rise in key interest rates. The required rates of return on bonds rose extremely quickly and sharply, resulting in a fall in the value of bond investments. The deteriorating sentiment in capital markets had the additional effect of widening bond credit spreads, which further depressed bond prices, while equity markets also fell. The war in Ukraine and the impact of inflation on the value of bond investments are very likely to have an impact on investment in the coming quarters, but it is unlikely that it will be as dynamic and as extensive as in the first four months of this year. These factors are mainly reflected in lower values of investments (including the impact on solvency) and, to a lesser extent, in the return on investments. Although the impact is not critical at the moment, the Sava Insurance Group will closely monitor the macroeconomic and geopolitical situation and developments in the capital markets and take appropriate action, should this become necessary.

1.5 Significant events after the reporting period

  • 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 his departure, the Sava Re management board will continue to operate with only three members until further notice.
  • In accordance with the 2022 financial calendar, the 38th general meeting of shareholders will be convened in May 2022 and will meet on 23 June 2022.

1.6 Composition of the Sava Insurance Group

Introduction

Interim business report

Review of operations

2 Review of operations5

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 companies6 :

  • 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. The company S Estate was sold in the first quarter of 2022.

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, 67.9% of operating expenses were allocated to the segments in the first quarter of 2022 (first quarter of 2021: 67.5%). In addition, there were reallocations of operating expenses of the company TBS Team 24 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 of past four quarters).
  • The sale of S Estate is included in the "other" operating segment.

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

Goodwill was attributed to the segment where it arose.

5 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 of 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 first-quarter 2022 result compared to the same period in 2021 is the rise in net claims incurred as a result of higher claims frequency in motor insurance, as motor traffic normalised and the effects of the epidemic subsided (especially in the Slovenian insurance market). The rise in claims incurred was also driven by an increase in claims provisions due to perceived claims inflation. Although the net profit declined year on year, the Group achieved 27.9% of the target full-year figure in the first three months, and the quarter's result is better than the one before the outbreak of the epidemic (2019).

According to the prescribed income statement scheme, exchange rate differences are shown within individual business categories and not only under net exchange rate differences, as is the practice in other industries. Although the Group follows a policy of asset and liability currency matching, certain impacts on individual business categories do not reflect their trends and results appropriately. The table below therefore offers an overview of the effect of exchange differences on these categories; the categories that are stronger impacted by exchanged differences are then presented without the effect of exchange rate differences.

* 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 (31 March 2022: EUR 33 thousand; 31 March 2021: EUR 36 thousand).

Gross profit/loss for the period

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

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

2.1 Reinsurance

The income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are presented in the notes to the financial statements, section 7.7 "Segment reporting". The reinsurance segment primarily reflects the developments in the portfolio that Sava Re writes outside Slovenia with non-Group companies.

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

The underwriting result is lower, mainly as the result of higher net claims paid and lower net premiums earned. The first-quarter 2022 investment result was lower year on year due to higher expenses for fair value changes of FVTPL assets.

Net premiums earned

Net premiums earned, reinsurance

EUR 1–3/2022 1–3/2021 Index
Gross premiums written 42,364,834 40,170,140 105.5
Net premiums earned 22,263,039 23,391,399 95.2

The increase in gross premiums written was mainly driven by a 22.1% increase in non-proportional reinsurance premiums, chiefly sourced from EU countries. Underwriting year 2022 premiums increased by 18.8%, or EUR 6.1 million, compared to 2021; prior underwriting year premiums dropped by EUR 3.9 million, primarily due to by proportional business. Net premiums earned were affected by the change in net unearned premiums as a result of higher year-on-year growth from new contracts written.

Net claims incurred

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

EUR 1–3/2022 1–3/2021 Index
Gross claims paid 19,921,627 11,938,176 166.9
Net claims incurred 13,958,070 13,292,138 105.0

Gross claims paid are higher due to the payment of claims from previous underwriting years. The movement in net claims incurred was driven by fire claims in Asia and South America, and an increase in claims from previous underwriting years. Reinsurance protection helped keep growth in net claims paid relatively low in the first three months of 2022.

As a result, the incurred loss ratio of the reinsurance segment increased to 64.1% (first quarter of 2021: 56.2%).

Operating expenses

Consolidated operating expenses, reinsurance

EUR 1–3/2022 1–3/2021 Index
Acquisition costs 7,477,269 8,237,998 90.8
Change in deferred acquisition costs (+/-) -2,359,287 -2,336,711 101.0
Other operating expenses 1,202,587 957,842 125.6
Operating expenses 6,320,569 6,859,129 92.1
Reinsurance commission income -161,376 -194,936 82.8
Net operating expenses 6,159,192 6,664,193 92.4

Acquisition costs dropped, despite the growth in gross premiums written, because non-proportional business with lower commission rates grew faster than proportional business. Thus, in the first quarter, the share of acquisition costs as a percentage of premiums dropped by 2.9 p.p. year on year to 17.6%.

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

In the first quarter of 2022, the net expense ratio declined by 0.8 p.p. year on year to 27.7%.

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 quarter was impacted by the developments in financial markets, as described in section 1.4 "Significant events in the first quarter of 2022". Due to expenses for fair value changes of FVTPL assets, net investment income totalled EUR 0.3 million, an investment return of 0.5%.

2.2 Non-life

The income statement and statement of financial position items by operating segment are presented in the notes to the financial statements, section 7.7 "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 technical performance, that is, higher claims incurred in the Slovenian part of the segment. As the epidemic was subsiding, the claims frequency in motor business was increasing, with the level of claims provisions affected by claims inflation. International non-life business did not experience such movements and improved its profit by EUR 1.2 million.

As in the reinsurance segment, the investment return was exposed to the altered conditions in the financial markets, with an increase of EUR 0.3 million in expenses due to the valuation of assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), mainly in the Slovenian part of the segment. Net investment income of non-Slovenian non-life insurers deteriorated by EUR 0.1 million due to lower gains on disposals and lower interest income.

The result of other income and expenses of Slovenian non-life insurers increased by EUR 0.3 million, and so did that of international non-life insurers.

Growth in gross non-life premiums was achieved in both the domestic and international part of the segment. However, net non-life premiums earned dropped by 3.0%. The 4.8% decline in Slovenian business mainly relates to the drop in gross unearned premiums of FoS business after a large part of this business was abandoned. The 6.5% increase in international business chiefly reflects growth in gross premiums written driven by larger sales.

While FoS-related gross premiums written dropped by EUR 3.0 million, this premium loss was offset by other non-life premiums both in Slovenia and abroad. The largest growth in non-life insurance premiums was achieved in property and motor insurance. Slovenian gross property premiums grew due to the dynamics among key accounts, whereas abroad they grew as a result of higher premiums written with existing and new policyholders. Gross motor premiums written in Slovenia grew mainly in the personal motor segment as a result of more policies sold. Motor insurance business also grew in all foreign markets but in Croatia, where the drop in gross premiums written was due to portfolio streamlining.

Gross non-life insurance premiums by class of business13

13 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, property premiums grew in the first three months of 2022 year on year, whereas general liability, motor, accident and health business decreased slightly.

The cancellation of the majority of FoS business resulted in a decrease in net claims incurred of EUR 4.2 million in the Slovenian non-life segment. In other non-life business in Slovenia, as mentioned above, net claims incurred increased due to higher claims frequency in motor insurance as a result of the subsiding epidemic-related impacts and larger claims provisions due to claims inflation.

In the international non-life segment, the decline in net claims incurred of EUR 0.3 million mainly related to the reduction in gross claims of the Croatian branch of Zavarovalnica Sava owing to streamlining and portfolio shrinking.

In the first quarter of 2022, gross non-life claims grew as a result of the growth in Slovenian gross nonlife claims of 16.4%, whereas gross claims paid by non-Slovenian non-life insurers dropped by 7.1%.

The increase in gross claims of Slovenian non-life insurers was mainly driven by increased gross claims of motor insurance due to a higher claims frequency compared to last year, when the Covid-19 pandemic-related measures were more severe.

Gross claims paid by the international insurers dropped by EUR 0.7 million. The biggest drop in gross claims was in motor insurance, as a result of portfolio cleaning in Croatia and fewer claims reported and settled.

The gross expense ratio of the non-life segment declined by 2.5 p.p., mainly as a result of an increase in gross premium written and, to a lesser extent, due to a decrease in gross operating expenses.

Unconsolidated gross life premiums of Sava Insurance Group companies

Gross premiums written by Slovenian life insurers increased by 2.8% in the first three months of 2022 year on year, with Vita contributing the majority of the increase with exceptional sales in the last year, which continued in the first quarter of 2022. After several years of declining gross premiums written, Zavarovalnica Sava's gross premiums increased this year, both due to improved sales and lower premium losses from maturities, deaths and surrenders.

Gross premiums written by the international life insurers increased by 27.2% in the first three months of 2022 year on year, with the main contributor being the Kosovo company, which started selling through a bank in mid-2021, while also 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.

In the first quarter of 2022, gross claims paid in Slovenia rose by 1.8% year on year. In Vita, they increased due to the maturing of the portfolio and an increase in surrenders at the beginning of the year due to higher unit values in 2021; the claims of the Slovenian part of Zavarovalnica Sava fell reflecting lower maturities of traditional life policies as well as lower claims from surrenders and deaths.

As a result of lower net investment income from Slovenian unit-linked life business, net claims incurred, including the change in "other" and unit-linked provisions, were also significantly lower this year.

Gross claims paid by the international insurers in the first three months of 2022 were up by 28.4% year on year: in Croatia because of maturities, in Kosovo mainly because of surrenders and in Serbia due to increased mortality.

The consolidated gross expense ratio rose by 0.7 p.p. year on year, largely as the result of increased policy acquisition costs of the Slovenian insurers that increased insurance sales.

Contributions to pension and mutual funds increased:

  • 5.4% for the group of long-term business funds of the Slovenian pension company, as the company managed to increase the average value of contributions;
  • 10.6% for the mandatory and voluntary funds of the North Macedonian pension company, due to growth in the number of members and the value of the average contribution;
  • 14.1% at the Slovenian mutual fund management company, helped by positive capital market trends at the beginning of the first quarter of this year, alongside all sales activities.

The liability funds of the Slovenian pension company posted a negative return 3.2% in the first three months of 2022 (first three months of 2021: 1.1%), the mandatory and voluntary pension funds managed by the North Macedonian pension company posted a negative return of 0.5% (first three months of 2021: 2.8%); the Slovenian company for managing mutual funds posted a negative return of 6.6% on mutual funds (first quarter of 2021: 5.7%). The negative returns in the first three 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.

As at 31 March 2022, the investment portfolio of the Sava Insurance Group totalled EUR 1,526.8 million, a decline of EUR 54.6 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. The increase in financial investments in associates includes EUR 0.4 million from the attribution of profit of equity-accounted entities.

Although the portfolio shrank, the asset allocation remained substantially unchanged. The proportion of fixed-rate investments remained at the year-end level. This is due to maturities and sales of bonds, which were not fully reinvested but retained in cash and cash equivalents and will be used to pay out dividends in the second quarter of the year. The proportion of investments in infrastructure funds rose due to capital calls and remains in line with the Sava Insurance Group's risk strategy.

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

Assets held for the benefit of policyholders who bear the investment risk are a major asset item (8). In the Sava Insurance Group, unit-linked products 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 31 March 2022, financial investments totalled EUR 497.7 million, and cash and cash equivalents stood at EUR 9.8 million. Compared to 31 December 2021, assets decreased by EUR 24.7 million, chiefly as the result of movements in the market value of investments and cash flow from core business.

3.1.3 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

The reinsurers' share of technical provisions (9) increased by 18.4%, or EUR 10.6 million, compared to year-end 2021. The largest increase was in unearned premiums of the Slovenian non-life segment (of EUR 11.5 million) as a result of underwriting dynamics, while this segment also saw the largest decrease in claims provisions (of EUR 1.3 million) as a result of the payment of claims from previously established provisions (mainly FoS business and Slovenian direct insurance business). In the reinsurance segment, claims provisions increased due to additional reserving as a result of the storm claims in western Europe in 2021 reinsured under catastrophe programmes.

3.1.4 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 31 March 2022, investment contract assets totalled EUR 168.7 million, down by 2.4% compared to 31 December 2021.

This decrease was mainly due to negative net investment income of EUR 5.3 million as the result of the situation in financial markets, net inflows of EUR 0.7 million (first quarter of 2022: EUR 6.1 million of inflows and EUR 5.4 million of outflows including entry charges) and a EUR 0.4 million value increase in 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 2.4 "Pensions and asset management".

3.1.5 Receivables

Receivables (11) increased by 28.4%, or EUR 42.5 million, compared to year-end 2021 (31 March 2021: increase of 16.1%, or EUR 24.8 million, compared to year-end 2020). The largest increase was with receivables arising from primary insurance business, up by EUR 35.6 million, or 27.7%, compared to 31 December 2021, with a EUR 37.5 million increase in not-past-due receivables. Receivables past due less than 1 year decreased by EUR 1.3 million, and receivables past due more than 1 year by EUR 0.5 million. In absolute terms, the largest increase in receivables arising from primary insurance business was in the non-life segment in Slovenia (an increase of EUR 17.0 million; 31 March 2021: an increase of EUR 10.0 million compared to year-end 2020), in the reinsurance segment (an increase of EUR 15.9 million; 31 March 2021: an increase of EUR 13.0 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 4.9 million, or 54.1%, from 31 December 2021. They increased by EUR 3.9 million in the reinsurance segment and in the Slovenian non-life segment by EUR 1.1 million.

Other receivables increased by EUR 2.0 million compared to the end of 2021 – in the Slovenian nonlife segment they increased by EUR 1.7 million (receivables relating to securities).

3.2.1 Shareholders' equity

The capital position (1) decreased by 6.3%, or EUR 31.6 million, reflecting a decrease of EUR 48.4 million in the fair value reserve as a result of the revaluation of bond investments due to price movements in financial markets.

3.2.2 Technical provisions

Gross technical provisions (3) are the largest item on the liabilities side. The balance as at 31 March 2022 was an increase of 3.6%, or EUR 44.8 million, over year-end 2021.

Consolidated gross TP
EUR 31 March 2022 31 December 2021 Index

Gross technical provisions 1,282,314,031 1,237,500,117 103.6

Gross technical provisions attributable to the non-life segment grew by 5.8%, or EUR 32.1 million, compared to year-end 2021. Of this, unearned premiums grew by EUR 36.2 million (first quarter of 2021: EUR 22.1 million) as a result of increased business volume, while claims provisions decreased by EUR 4.3 million, mainly due to the cancellation of most FoS business.

Gross technical provisions attributable to the reinsurance segment grew by 7.5%, or EUR 17.0 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 18.3 million; first quarter of 2021: up by EUR 15.3 million), while provisions for outstanding claims rose by EUR 1.7 million.

Gross mathematical provisions declined by 0.9%, or EUR 4.0 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 account 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 0.6 million from year-end 2021, which chiefly relates to the increase in the reinsurance segment as the result of increased unearned premiums of marine reinsurance business.

3.2.3 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 501.4 million as at 31 March 2022 and increased by 4.3%, or EUR 22.8 million, mainly due to movements in financial markets and, consequently, fund unit prices.

3.2.4 Investment contract liabilities

Investment contract liabilities (7) of Sava Pokojninska totalled EUR 168.5 million as at 31 March 2022, down by 2.4%, or EUR 4.1 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.

3.2.5 Liabilities from operating activities

Liabilities from operating activities (9) totalled EUR 73.5 million as at 31 March 2022, up 34.1%, or EUR 18.7 million, compared to year-end 2021 (31 March 2021: increase of EUR 11.1 million), mainly reflecting renewals of annual reinsurance contracts and the associated higher liabilities for reinsurance and co-insurance business of EUR 13.2 million, liabilities from primary insurance business of EUR 4.7 million (liabilities for claims and commission) and higher current tax liabilities of EUR 0.9 million.

3.2.6 Other liabilities

Other liabilities (11) decreased by EUR 14.2 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.

3.3 Financing sources and their maturity

As at 31 March 2022, the Sava Insurance Group held EUR 472.5 million in shareholders' equity and EUR 75.6 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 31 March 2022, the market price of the bond was 111.862% and the market value EUR 85,006,089 (31 December 2021: market price of 103.532%, market value of EUR 78,065,096).

3.4 Cash flow

In the first three months of 2022, the Sava Insurance Group generated an operating cash flow of EUR 17.1 million (first quarter of 2021: EUR 44.5 million). Payments of claims and expenses were higher in this period year on year.

Net cash outflows from investing activities were lower (of EUR 2.7 million, compared to EUR 23.9 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 Group posted net cash used in financing activities in the amount of EUR 0.1 million (2021: EUR 1.1 million).

The closing balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 14.4 million in the first quarter of 2022 (first quarter of 2021: EUR 19.5 million). The net cash flow for 2022 was EUR 5.1 million below the year-on-year figure.

5 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.

On top of the generally unfavourable macroeconomic trends, the war in Ukraine further significantly changed the geopolitical situation in the first quarter, which also had an impact on the performance and risks of the Group's companies. 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. 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 quarter, the large impacts on the performance of the Group companies were caused by adverse indirect effects on the macroeconomic environment. The changed circumstances and the associated commodity and energy market shocks have further increased inflation expectations. This has driven bond yields up and bond prices down, resulting in a decline in the fair value reserve of equity assets. Inflation expectations have also indirectly contributed to price hikes, resulting in increased claims inflation.

5.1 Capital adequacy and capital management

The Sava Insurance Group calculates its solvency position using the Solvency II standard formula. The calculation of the Group's solvency position as at 31 December 2021 shows that the Group is well capitalised and has a solvency ratio of 198%. The Group's Solvency Capital Requirement (hereinafter: Group SCR) totalled EUR 304.4 million as at 31 December 2021, and eligible own funds to meet the Group SCR were EUR 601.3 million. Details on the valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the Group's SCR as at 31 December 2021 are set out in the Solvency and Financial Condition Report of the Sava Insurance Group for 2021 available on the Sava Re website.

Sava Re also uses the Solvency II standard formula for its solvency calculation. The calculation of the Company's solvency position as at 31 December 2021 shows that the Company is well capitalised and has a solvency ratio of 282%. The Company's Solvency Capital Requirement (hereinafter: Company SCR) totalled EUR 218 million as at 31 December 2021, and eligible own funds to meet the SCR were EUR 615.7 million. Details on the valuation, the calculation of eligible own funds and the SCR as at 31 December 2021 are set out in the Solvency and Financial Condition Report of Sava Re d.d. for 2021 and are available on the Company's website.

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 quarter 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).

5.2 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 quarter of 2022, would decrease/increase its profit before tax by EUR 1.2 million in the period (first quarter of 2021: EUR 1.3 million).

We estimate that the Group's exposure to underwriting risk increased slightly in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the end of 2021, mainly due to the increased risk of claims inflation in motor and property insurance business.

Regarding Covid-19, there remains a legal regulatory risk 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.

5.3 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.

5.3.1 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 1,487.7 million as at 31 March 2022.

Interest rate risk

The total value of investments included in the calculation as at 31 March 2022 was EUR 1,346.2 million (31 December 2021: EUR 1,422.5 million). Of this, EUR 712.3 million (31 December 2021: EUR 743.8 million) related to assets of non-life insurers (including Sava Re) and EUR 634.5 million (31 December 2021: EUR 678.8 million) to assets of life insurers.

The average maturity of non-life business bonds and deposits was 3.89 years as at 31 March 2022 (31 December 2021: 4.06 years), and the expected maturity of non-life and reinsurance obligations was 1.97 years (31 December 2021: 2.10 years).

The average maturity of life insurance assets was 5.29 years as at 31 March 2022 (31 December 2021: 5.43 years), with the average maturity of life liabilities at 5.80 years (31 December 2021: 6.04 years).

In the first quarter 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 31 March 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 Company included in the equity risk calculation totalled EUR 91.8 million as at 31 March 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 quarter of 2022, the risk increased due to increased exchange rate volatility and uncertainty surrounding economic activity in the following quarters.

Currency risk

The Company monitors the currency matching of assets and liabilities by the ALM aspect (accounting currencies are matched directly – they are matched with currencies with a high degree of correlation). Accordingly, the position was 99.3% matched as at 31 March 2022 (31 December 2021: 97.5%). However, based strictly on the accounting aspect, i.e. excluding correlations, the position was 96.2% matched as at 31 March 2022 (31 December 2021: 96.0%).

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

5.3.2 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 amount of highly liquid assets. We estimate that liquidity risk remained unchanged and low in the period under review in 2022.

5.3.3 Credit risk

Fixed-rate investments accounted for 92.5% of the total investment portfolio. As at 31 March 2022, fixed-rate investments rated "BBB-" or better accounted for 76.4% of the total fixed-rate portfolio (31 December 2021: 77.9%).

As at 31 March 2022, the exposure to the ten largest issuers was EUR 465.2 million, representing 29.5% 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 (31 March 2022: EUR 108.4 million; 6.9%; 31 December 2021: EUR 124.1 million; 7.5%), and the maximum single exposure to any commercial issuer was 2.2% of the Group's financial investments.

Based on the above, we estimate that, particularly through reducing their exposure to Slovenia and increased diversification by issuer, region and industry, the Sava Insurance Group companies managed their exposure to credit risk well in the first quarter of 2022.

We estimate that, in the first quarter of 2022, credit risk increased slightly, in particular due to increased market volatility and uncertainty surrounding economic activity in the following quarters.

5.3.4 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 168.7 million as at 31 March 2021, down by EUR 4.2 million from 31 December 2021.

The risk of failure to achieve guaranteed returns relates to liabilities of Moj Zajamčeni fund (My Guaranteed Fund) (31 March 2022: EUR 136.9 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 is lower than the guaranteed return on the liabilities side. The shortfall for the first three months of 2021 was EUR 445.7 thousand (first quarter of 2021: shortfall of EUR 65.0 thousand).

5.4 Operational risks

The Group periodically measures operational risks in terms of qualitative assessment of the probability of loss and financial severity of risks listed in the risk register.

Operational risks are not among the Group's most significant risks and are well managed. The Group's exposure to operational risk did not change significantly in the first quarter of 2022 compared to yearend 2021.

5.5 Strategic risks

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

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

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 quarter, which is why these risks increased in the first quarter of 2022 year on year.

We assess that the Group's strategic risk was managed appropriately.

5.6 Risk exposure up until year-end 2022

In the first quarter, 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; therefore, we are 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 in underwriting risk, especially related to claims inflation.

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

Regarding Covid-19, there remains a legal regulatory risk that policy conditions for business interruption covers could be interpreted unfavourably in some markets, which could result in additional claim payments.

The selected notes to the interim financial statements are significant to an understanding of the changes in the financial position of the Group at the end of March 2022 compared to year-end 2021 and the performance of the Group in the first three months of 2022 compared to the first three months of 2021.

7.1 Overview of major accounting policies

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

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

The financial statements with notes as at and for the three months to 31 March 2022 have not been audited.

The interim financial statements as at 31 March 2022 have been prepared following the same accounting policies and computation methods as the annual financial statements for 2021.

7.2 Seasonality and cyclicality of interim operations

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

7.3 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 quarter, which also had an impact on the performance and risks of the Group's companies. The rise in the risk-free interest rate has reduced the value of interest rate sensitive investments, resulting in a decline in the fair value reserve of equity assets. 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 5 "Risk management".

7.4 Materiality

Equity was used as a basis in determining a materiality threshold for the consolidated financial statements, specifically 2% thereof, which is EUR 9.5 million as at 31 March 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 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.

7.5 Issuance, repurchase and repayment of debt and equity securities

The Group issued no new debt or equity securities.

7.6 Key accounting estimates and judgements

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

7.7 Segment reporting

Operating segments as disclosed and monitored were determined based on the different activities carried out in the Group. Segments 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 and health insurance business). Section 8.1 explains in more detail how the companies are included in operating segments.

Performance of these segments is monitored based on different indicators, with net profit calculated in accordance with IFRSs a common performance indicator for all segments. The management board monitors performance by segment to the level of underwriting results, net investment income and other aggregated performance indicators, as well as the amounts of assets, equity and technical provisions on a quarterly basis.

7.8.4 Reinsurers' share of technical provisions

EUR 31 March
2022
31 December
2021
From unearned premiums 20,082,697 8,788,390
From provisions for claims outstanding 48,253,038 48,937,470
From other technical provisions 41,478 41,196
Total 68,377,213 57,767,056

The reinsurers' and co-insurers' share of technical provisions increased by EUR 10.6 million, or 18.4%. In addition, unearned premiums increased by EUR 11.3 million as the result of underwriting dynamics. Claims provisions decreased by EUR 0.7 million, which is the amount that claim payments from the previously established provision (mainly FoS-business and Slovenian direct insurance) exceeded the increase due to additional provisioning (mainly for claims related to western European storm losses of 2021 reinsured under the catastrophe programme).

7.8.5 Receivables

Receivables rose by EUR 42.5 million from year-end 2021, chiefly because of a EUR 34.4 million increase in receivables due from policyholders, the renewal of most annual non-life (re)insurance contracts with major clients (companies and cedants) and the timing of making estimates relating to reinsurance business.

Compared to year-end 2021, the balance of cash and cash equivalents increased by EUR 14.4 million. The main reason for the increase in cash and cash equivalents compared to the year end is matured bonds sold but not reinvested by the reporting date.

7.8.7 Shareholders' equity

Shareholders' equity decreased by 6.3%, or EUR 31.6 million, compared to year-end 2021. This decline in equity was mainly due to the fair value reserve.

The weighted average number of shares outstanding in the financial period was 15,497,696. As at 31 March 2022, the parent company held 1,721,966 own shares, which are subtracted when calculating the weighted average number of shares.

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

Technical provisions increased by EUR 44.8 million, or 3.6%, compared to 31 December 2021.

  • The highest increase was in gross unearned premiums, up by EUR 54.6 million or 26.4%, in line with the underwriting dynamics and also with the growth in non-life insurance premiums.
  • Claims provisions decreased by EUR 6.3 million, or 12.8%, mainly due to uses for claim payments.
  • The technical provisions for life insurance business (mathematical provisions for traditional life insurance) decreased by EUR 4.0 million due to the payouts for policy maturities in the Slovenian part of the portfolio.

Gross provisions for unit-linked business decreased by EUR 22.8 million, reflecting lower fund unit prices and, to a lesser extent, portfolio maturing.

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 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.
