As at 30 September 2023, premiums were up 84.6% compared to the first nine months of 2022, with an IFRS 17-adjusted operating profit1 of €19.5 million. The exit trajectory from the operational j-curve in the first half of 2023 is confirmed, with a further decrease of the cost rate. Thanks to the particularly positive trend in revenues, the Group increased its GWP target for the year from approximately €180 million to over €200 million.
In continuity with the positive performance recorded in financial year 2022 and in the first half of 2023, the results for the third quarter confirm the project's potential and the strong attention that the market is reserving to REVO, thanks to its full range of insurance solutions and adoption of simple, fast operating processes for the benefit of intermediaries.
The Group's Solvency II ratio as at 30 September 2023 was 222.4% (234.7% at the end of the first half of 2023), higher than the medium-term target of the plan.

In the scope of new international standard IFRS 17, considering the non-life business in which the company operates, and following the relevant eligibility tests provided for by the legislation, REVO adopts a simplified approach to quantifying the liability for remaining coverage (the "Premium Allocation Approach"), which as at 30 September 2023 did not differ materially from the IFRS 4 values.
The table below summarises the Group's main KPIs as at 30 September 2023 (presented in accordance with IFRS 17):
| IFRS 17 Key KPIs €M | 30.09.2023 | 30.09.2022 | Delta % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insurance revenue | 107.0 | 48.5 | 120.6% |
| Insurance service result | 17.4 | 8.7 | 100.0% |
| Investment result | 2.4 | 0.9 | 166.7 |
| Operating profit | 15.8 | 5.8 | 172.4% |
| Adjusted operating profit | 19.5 | 10 | 95.0% |
| Net profit | 9.1 | 2.6 | >3.5x |
| Adjusted net profit | 11.7 | 5.5 | >2.1x |
| Ratio | 30.09.2023 | 30.09.2022 | Delta p.p. |
| Net combined ratio - IFRS 17 | 82.3% | 77.4% | 4.9% |
In particular, the following was reported during the period:
〉 Insurance service result of €17.4 million (compared with €8.7 million in the period ended 30 September 2022), net of costs directly attributable to insurance contracts and reinsurance dynamics;
〉 The figures incorporate part of the catastrophic effects recorded during the third quarter, the final quantification of which is expected by the end of the year, with effects mitigated by the specific reinsurance cover in place;
The table below summarises the Group's main KPIs as at 30 September 2023 (presented in accordance with IFRS 4):
| IFRS 4 Main KPIs €M | 30.09.2023 | 30.09.2022 | Delta % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gross written premiums | 149.1 | 80.7 | 84.6% |
| Operating profit | 18.1 | 8.9 | 103.4% |
| Adjusted operating profit | 19.9 | 10.3 | 94.1% |
| Net profit | 9.5 | 2.2 | > 4.3x |
| Adjusted net profit | 12.2 | 5.1 | > 2.4x |
| Ratio | 30.09.2023 | 30.09.2022 | Delta p.p. |
| Net loss ratio | 34.4% | 25.3% | 9.1% |
| Net combined ratio | 79.1% | 80.3% | -1.2% |
| Adjusted net combined ratio | 76.8% | 77.1% | -0.3% |
Specifically, the following was reported during the period:
〉 Further growth in the surety business line (+16.1% on the same period of 2022), mainly due to the significant expansion of the distribution network;
〉 Maintenance of a good level of technical profitability despite the presence of several significant catastrophic events, with a total loss ratio3 of 34.4%, up from 25.3% in the third quarter of 2022, in line with the diversification of the portfolio underwritten;
Capital strength at Group level remains particularly high, with a Solvency II ratio4 of 222.4% at the end of the quarter (234.7% as at 30 June 2023). The nature variation is consistent with the forecast performance in the medium term and takes into account the strong growth of the business recorded in the period, as well as the voluntary partial takeover bid on REVO shares finalized during the first half of the year (Solvency II ratio value net of this operation equal to 231.2%).
As at 30 September 2023, 850,700 treasury shares are held in portfolio, equivalent to around 3.46% of share capital5.
The macroeconomic picture in the last few quarters has been dominated by the monetary policy decisions of the main Central Banks. The current context of geopolitical uncertainty will not affect REVO's ability to execute its business plan, which features funding objectives for the year that are higher than the initial targets. The Group will continue its programme of developing the main projects in progress, including the launch of new specialty and parametric products, the increasing use of the OverX platform, the expansion of the distribution network and the further strengthening of the management team.
