Claims development Q1 2018
Poor claims quarter – driven by a poor P&C result mainly in Norway
- Gross claims ratio 92,5%, up from 91,4 %
- Slightly influenced by weather claims
- Seasonality gradually changes towards a less favourable Q1
- Relative share of motor business increases
- Net commission in Q1 moves downwards
- Net claims ratio 96,4%, up from 92,7 %
- Run-off losses f.o.a amounted to NOK 21,6m or 2,8%
- Change of Ownership Norway
- Poor Claims ratio in Norway
- Motor, Liability, Health and Loss of License
- To early to say how much is underlying reality or just a poor quarter
- Good Claims quarter in Sweden (all lines), and poor claims ratio Denmark (property, WC)
• UK and Finland too early to say 5
How do we improve our poor claims ratio in Q1
Keep up the good work – cost and quality leadership is maintained
- Rolls Royce
- Culture of thoroughly searching for cost Reductions and Recourses in every single claim
- Well established good results
- Individual and general price increases
- Improved UW-methodology
- Lost 10 biggest quotations 1st Feb.-1 st Apr. in Norway
- Non-prudent unsustainable rates
- Non-renewal of biggest Norwegian client ever 1st Apr.
- Unsustainable rates
- Increased usage of automatic price increasing clauses
- Contractually stated that if loss ratio > threshold, the renewal increases with x%
Actions already taken Further actions to take
- Stronger UW discipline in some markets and/or product and segments
- Continued UW discipline might lead to reduced volume (negative volume development in Norway expected in Q2)
- Capital allocation per product will be more closely monitored since margins are under pressure and interest free rate is historically low
- Higher renewal prices in certain segments
- Will take time since main renewal date is 1st Jan.
- Internal project called Falcon will gradually reduce claims handling expenses
Cost ratio Q1 2018 World Cost leadership maintained
- Gross cost ratio 8,3%, up from 7,1%
- Driven by some technical changes and minor one-offs
- Net cost ratio -1,2%, up from -5,7%
- Lower reinsurance commissions and higher commission to brokers
- Underlying trend stable
