Ctenolepisma longicaudata – Gray silverfish (Skjeggkre)
Get used to them – Harmless and normal
- First identified in Norway in 2013 Protector's first claim in 2015, court ruling in 2016
- Maximum length 19mm (body)
- Antennas and tail longer than body
- Likes dark places, both damp and dry
- Sexually matured at ~3 years
-
Can lay 56 eggs/year for ~3 years
-
Maximum age 7 years
- Diverse feeding habits (e.g. cellulose)
- No organized cohabitation
- Natural predators: beetles and spiders etc.
• Less annoying than mosquitos…
"Pests" you can find in the Norwegian fauna Why is the harmless little Gray Silverfish worse than…
Real estate investments will collapse if a normal bug could lead to ….
And many other consequences if you think it through
• Potential removal costs covered, but rare
Reported Gray Silverfish claims development
Number of claims increasing rapidly in Q3
2015: 3 claims reported, first in Q3
2016: 20 claims reported
2017: 38 claims reported
Q3 2018 to date: 208 claims reported, gradually escalating through the year with September on a very high level
August 2018: 3 court decision against Protector - Red Alert
• Claims frequency < 0,1% through 2017
• Claims frequency 0,6% in Q3 2018
Development of the legal practice Limited legal practice, no decision in appeal court or supreme court
Innocent bug – Norway the only country in the world with property value decrease compensation… ...despite pretty similar/equal/harder consumer protection legislation in other countries.
- After 3 losses in Q3 18, the legal practice in the district courts is considered to be in our disfavor
- Appeal court next and then supreme court if necessary
Project Gray Silverfish
Established 11th October
3: Actions and communication - internal
- Internal communication & info meetings, @WP
- Changes of claims handling practice
- Presentation to the Board of Directors
- Protector Management presentation
- Note to the Board of Directors
- Business review COI Q3 18
- Existing plan for downsizing
4: Consider opposite side – if you cant beat them, join them
- Market description and USP
- Product, price and commission
- Claims handling
- IT, SWOT, competitor analysis, hedgehog and DNA
Gray silverfish excluded from COI product 1st Nov 18
Without real estate broker acceptance – we will exit COI market
• Gray silverfish excluded 1st Nov 18
- New Claims Handling practice implemented 18th October 2018
- Multiple actions taken before crisis arrived
- Gray silverfish claims allocated to specific specialists from Q1 18
- Fixed rate deals on bug removal in the Oslo region Q2 18
- Structured follow-up of Gray silverfish claims from Q218
Q3 COI reserve losses NOK 146m mainly Gray Silverfish
No guarantees that it could end worse or better
Are the reserves right, now?
- Remember, with an exclusion 1st Nov there is still a 3 month period where new risks arrive
- Reserves could be somewhat higher
- Reserves could be somewhat lower
Drivers for claims ratio development
- Traps, poison, nature itself or other methodologies to get rid of the little innocent bug
- Changes in the Courts of Appeal, changes in claims practice, changes in average claims size
- The bug is an harmless inhabitant in Norway
Internal scenarios based on; frequency, average claims size and win ratio in court
- Good scenario MNOK +52 reserve gains
- Bad scenario MNOK -38 reserve losses (based on a 50 % frequency increase from Q3)
Change of Ownership 2019
- Gray Silverfish excluded 1st Nov. 2018
- COI KPIs better than ever on many important areas
- Strong signals of acceptance from the market
- Action plan going forward well prepared
