The first quarter is the largest inception quarter in Scandinavia and France. The company has experienced a continuingly high renewal rate. In January the company experienced 19% growth in local currencies supported by price increases countering for claims inflation. France accounted for 8%-points of the growth.

Investments

The assets under management amounted to a total of NOK 24,827 m ( 21,195 ). Compared to the end of 2024, the portfolio is up 13%.

In Q1, the investment activities yielded a positive return of NOK 577 m (350 ) or 2.3 % (1.7 %). Equities accounted for a NOK 310 m gain (191 ) or 7.6 % (6.5 %), including put options. The return on the fixed income portfolio was NOK 267 m (159 ) or 1.3 % (0.9 %).

At the end of Q1, 16.0 % (14.4 %) of Protector's financial assets were invested in equities, down from 16.2 % at the end of 2024. Approximately NOK 3.8 bn ( 4.7 ) of the financial assets were allocated to high yield securities at the end of Q1, down from NOK 3.9 bn at year end 2024.

The insurance finance result impacted the total investment return negatively with NOK -41 m (22 ) in Q1. The fluctuations are mainly due to interest curve changes.

Equity and capital position

At the end of Q1, the SCR-ratio was 222% (196%). Own funds totalled NOK 9,197 m ( 7,511 ) at the end of the quarter, while the solvency capital requirement (SCR) was NOK 4,149 m ( 3,834 ).

On 11 February, Protector Forsikring ASA successfully placed a subordinated loan of NOK 800m. The terms of the loan comply with existing and expected future requirements for subordinated debt eligible as Tier 2 capital. The new Tier 2 bond issue will be applied for listing at Oslo Børs. The Tier 2 capacity is linked to the total solvency requirement of the company.

The company's equity amounted to NOK 5,783 m (4,618 ), an increase of NOK 344m compared to the equity at the end of 2024. Dividend paid out in Q1 2025 has reduced the equity by NOK 330 m.

Protector holds a BBB+ Long-Term Issuer Credit rating from A.M. Best. Outlook is positive.

Dividend

Based on the company's strong financial position, competitive position in the market and dividend policy, the Board has utilized its authorisation granted by the Annual General Meeting 10 April 2025 and has decided to distribute a dividend of NOK 247m, corresponding to NOK 3.00 per share.

The decided dividend is included in other equity.

Events after the reporting period

Protector has 2 April 2025 entered into a portfolio transfer agreement with DARAG Deutschland for the entire workers' compensation (WC) portfolio in Denmark. Completion of the agreement is subject to conditions, including approvals by Norwegian and German financial regulators. After Completion, Protector will no longer have exposure to Danish WC. The portfolio transfer is expected to be completed and booked in Q3 2025. The transfer has limited impact on the solvency margin and result. However, the balance sheet will be reduced by the transaction amount and DARAG's share of the existing LPTA (loss portfolio transfer agreement).

Prospects

The underlying profitability is good, and with continued price adjustments to counter claims inflation, the insurance service result is expected to remain at a good level.

The claims development, and the inherent volatility of capital markets, actualised in April, continue to be the most important risk factors that could affect the company's profit in 2025. The rapid development of technology represents both a risk and an opportunity, requiring investments beyond previous efforts. There is inherent uncertainty related to future market conditions, but the Board is of the opinion that the company is well equipped to meet the competition going forward.

Notes

Accounting principles

The interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Statement Regulation for Non‐life Insurance Companies (Forskrift om årsregnskap for skadeforsikringsselskaper), IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IFRS.

The interim report does not include all the information required in a complete annual report and should be read in conjunction with the annual report for 2024.

There are no changes in or new issued standards with significant effect on the financial statements in 2025, and the accounting policies applied in the interim report are the same as those used in the annual report for 2024.

The preparation of interim accounts involves the application of assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the use of accounting policies and the amounts recognized for assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The most material assessments involved in applying accounting policies and the most important sources of uncertainty in the estimates are the same in connection with preparing the interim report as in the annual report for 2024.

The annual report for 2024 is available at www.protectorforsikring.no.

The fair value of listed investments is based on the current sales price. Financial instruments measured at fair value are valued on a daily basis. Directly observable prices in the market are used as far as possible. The valuations for the different types of financial instruments are based on recognized methods and models.

Level 1: Financial instruments valued on the basis of quoted prices for identical assets in active markets.

This category encompasses listed equities that over the previous three months have experienced average daily trading equivalent to approximately NOK 20m or more. Based on this, the equities are regarded as sufficiently liquid to be included at this level. Bonds, certificates, or equivalent instruments issued by national governments are generally classified as level 1.

Level 2: Financial instruments valued on the basis of observable market information not covered by level 1.

This category encompasses financial instruments that are valued on the basis of market information that can be directly observable or indirectly observable. Market information that is indirectly observable means that the prices can be derived from observable related markets. Level 2 includes shares or equivalent equity instruments for which market prices are available, but where the volume of transactions is too limited to fulfil the criteria in level 1. Shares in this level will normally have been traded during the last month. Bonds and equivalent instruments are generally classified in this level. Foreign exchange derivatives are classified as level 2. Fund investments are generally classified as level 2.

Level 3: Financial instruments valued on the basis of information that is not observable in accordance with level 2.

The instrument is included in level 3 if one or more essential data are not based on observable market data.
