Capital allocation – maximize shareholder return Priority 1: Always profitable growth in insurance, if possible
Main capital allocation alternatives:
1
2
5
- Allocation towards profitable growth is preferred; stay disciplined
- Challenging to allocate capital in times of low credit spreads and all-time-high stock markets
- How much capital should be kept for future financial market crises? 3
- An attractive alternative if meeting hurdle; will normally have to bid with significant premium 4
- Capital base discipline; flexible distribution of excess capital if allocation cannot be made elsewhere
| • Determine minimum hurdle rate (RoE>20%) |
|
|---|---|
| • Calculate returns for all internal and external allocation alternatives available, by return and risk |
|
| Capital allocation approach | • Deploy capital in the most attractive alternatives above hurdle. |
| • Release underperforming capital (COI, Price increases, WC Denmark and Norway as example) |
|
Dividend policy A new special dividend of NOK 1.67 per share – Flexible shareholder distribution policy
Solvency II ratio
| 180% | Current level = 235% |
• Capital over 180% in SCR ratio distributed over time |
|---|---|---|
| Normal Range | • Shareholder distribution normally 20%-80% of net profit • Quarterly decisions, all allocation alternatives evaluated • Profitable insurance growth always prioritized |
|
| 150% | • Build solvency capital, any shareholder distribution only after a careful consideration |
- Special dividend of MNOK 137.5 (NOK 1.67 per share); to be paid out around 21 July (ex. dividend 14 July)
