Profit before taxes for P&C insurance decreased to EUR 191 million (221) in January-March 2012. The decrease is explained by lower net income from investments in relation to the previous year due to a one-off sales gain of EUR 75 million in the comparison period.

Both risk ratio and combined ratio improved in the first quarter of 2012 to 69.0 per cent (71.0) and 92.4 per cent (94.4), respectively. EUR 26 million (39) was released from technical reserves relating to prior year gains. Change in the interest rate used to discount the annuity reserves in Sweden improved the result by EUR 12 million.

Technical result increased to EUR 112 million (100). Technical result for Private business area increased to EUR 68 million (56), for Commercial to EUR 26 million (23) and for Baltic (excl. Russia) to EUR 4 million (2). For business area Industrial technical result decreased to EUR 13 million (16). Insurance margin (technical result in relation to net premiums earned) improved to 10.3 per cent (9.7).

Return on equity (RoE) increased significantly to 50.2 per cent (14.0) supported by the strong markto-market investment result in the first quarter. Fair value reserve increased from the year end to EUR 297 million (139) at the end of March 2012.

Topdanmark's profit contribution for January-March 2012 was EUR 12 million. At the end of March 2012 If P&C held altogether 3,147,692 Topdanmark shares, corresponding to 24.2 per cent of the votes and 22.9 per cent of the shares.

Denmark 107.8 94.3 13.5 81.6 66.7 14.9

Risk ratio improved in all business areas except Industrial due to less winter related claims than in the comparison period. In Denmark risk ratio deteriorated due to higher large claims in business area Commercial.

Gross written premiums increased 5.1 per cent to EUR 1,701 million (1,618). Adjusted for currency, premiums increased 4.7 per cent. All business areas and countries had positive growth. In Private gross written premiums adjusted for currency increased by 4.1 per cent. In Commercial the growth was 4.1 per cent as well, in Industrial 5.7 per cent and in Baltic 1.3 per cent.

Cost ratio remained at previous year's level and was 23.4 per cent (23.4). Adjusted for currency the nominal costs increased 5.6 per cent.

Investment allocation, If P&C, total EUR 11.8 billion

At the end of March 2012 the total investment assets of If P&C amounted to EUR 11.8 billion (11.2).

Net income from investments decreased to EUR 103 million (171) due to a large one-off sales gain from equities in the comparison period.

Investment return mark-to-market for January-March 2012 was 2.9 per cent (0.7).

Duration for interest bearing assets was 1.3 years (1.2) and average maturity 2.5 years. Fixed income running yield was 3.9 per cent (4.1).

If P&C's solvency ratio as at 31 March 2012 (solvency capital in relation to net written premiums) was 78 per cent (72). Solvency capital amounted to EUR 3,414 million (3,080). Reserve ratios decreased to 164 per cent (167) of net written premiums and 219 per cent (229) of claims paid. The decrease versus claims paid is mainly due to increased property claims payments in business area Industrial during year 2011 and first quarter of 2012.

Associated company Nordea Bank

On 31 March 2012 Sampo plc held 860,440,497 Nordea shares corresponding to a holding of 21.3 per cent. The average price paid per share amounted to EUR 6.46 and the book value in the Group accounts was EUR 7.21 per share. The closing price as at 31 March 2012 was EUR 6.80.

Sampo's holding exceeds 20 per cent and Nordea has been accounted as an associated company in Sampo Group's accounts since 31 December 2009. Sampo's share of Nordea's net profit is shown on the face of Sampo Group's profit and loss account on the line Share of associate's profit/loss.

In the first quarter of 2012 Nordea's strong business momentum continued. Profitability was maintained at a high level, with an ROE close to 12 per cent. Costs were kept under strict control and the capital position strengthened further. Core tier 1 capital ratio increased by 0.4 percentage point to 11.6 per cent.

Nordea paid a total dividend of EUR 1,048 million, of which Sampo plc's share amounted to EUR 224 million.

The following text is based on Nordea's January - March 2012 interim report published on 24 April 2012.

First quarter 2012 vs first quarter 2011 (first quarter 2012 vs fourth quarter 2011):

  • Net interest income up 7 per cent (largely unchanged)
  • Operating profit up 3 per cent (up 1 per cent)
  • Core tier 1 capital ratio increased to 11.6 per cent excluding transition rules from 10.7 per cent (up from 11.2 per cent in the fourth quarter)
  • Cost / income ratio unchanged at 50 per cent (up from 49 per cent in the fourth quarter)
  • Net loan losses down to 26 basis points from 31 basis points (down from 33 in the fourth quarter)
  • Return on equity 11.7 per cent, down from 12.0 per cent in the first quarter 2011 (down from 12.3 per cent in the fourth quarter)

Total income decreased 1 per cent from the previous quarter to EUR 2,531 million. Net interest income was largely unchanged compared to the previous quarter at EUR 1,420 million. Net interest income decreased in business areas, due to one banking day less in the quarter. Net fee and commission income increased 1 per cent to EUR 596 million. Increases were mainly seen in savings-related commissions. Commission expenses for stability fund in Sweden and the deposit guarantee fund in Denmark were EUR 20 million, up somewhat from the previous quarter, due to the new deposit guarantee fund system in Denmark.

Net loan loss provisions decreased to EUR 218 million, including a provision for the Danish guarantee system related to Fjordbank Mors of EUR 8 million. Excluding these deposit guarantee-related provisions, the loan loss ratio was 25 basis points (36 basis points in the previous quarter). As expected, provisions for future loan losses in shipping and Denmark remained at elevated levels, whereas in other areas the losses decreased from already moderate levels. The overall credit quality is solid with strongly rated customers and stable rating migration.

Operating profit increased 1 per cent from the previous quarter to EUR 1,037 million. Risk-adjusted profit

decreased to EUR 799 million, down 2 per cent from the previous quarter and up 4 per cent compared to the first quarter last year. Net profit decreased 1 per cent compared to the previous quarter to EUR 775 million, corresponding to a return on equity of 11.7 per cent. Return on equity decreased compared to the previous quarter due to higher effective tax rate and higher average equity in the quarter. Diluted earnings per share were EUR 0.19 (EUR 0.19 in the previous quarter).

Total expenses amounted to EUR 1,276 million, largely unchanged compared to the previous quarter in local currencies. Staff costs increased 7 per cent in local currencies to EUR 771 million, mainly due to low pension costs in the fourth quarter. Adjusted for this, staff costs increased 1.7 per cent in the first quarter. Other expenses decreased 10 per cent in local currencies to EUR 455 million, due to seasonal effects. Compared to the first quarter last year, total expenses were largely unchanged in local currencies.

The reduction in staff numbers which was announced last autumn has continued according to plan during the first quarter. The number of employees (FTEs) has been reduced by around 1,600 from the end of the second quarter 2011 and by around 500 compared to the end of the fourth quarter 2011. This has resulted in an annualised gross reduction in the staff expenses of approx. EUR 120 million.

The Group's core tier 1 capital ratio, excluding transition rules, was 11.6 per cent at the end of the first quarter and was strengthened by 0.4 percentage points from the previous quarter. Improved capital ratios have been achieved by strong profit generation and a decrease in risk-weighted assets (RWA), mainly as a result of IRB approval for the corporate and institutions portfolio in the International Units. This IRB approval affected RWA with a reduction of EUR 3.1 billion.

Life insurance

Mandatum Life Group consists of Mandatum Life, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sampo plc, operating in Finland, and its subsidiary Mandatum Life Insurance Baltic SE, which has the form of a European company and is headquartered in Estonia. It operates in the other Baltic countries through branches.

Profit before taxes in life insurance for January-March 2012 decreased to EUR 33 million (44). EUR 17 million was used to lower the interest rate used to discount all with-profit liabilities to 2.50 per cent for 2012 and to 3.25 per cent for 2013, respectively. All in all, Mandatum Life has increased its technical reserves with EUR 117 million due to low level of interest rates. Return on equity (RoE) rose to 72.3 per cent (5.0). The total comprehensive income for the period, taking changes in the market value of assets into account, rose to EUR 172 million (13).

Investment allocation, Mandatum Life, total EUR 5.5 billion

Excluding the assets of EUR 3.4 billion (3.1) covering unit-linked liabilities, Mandatum Life Group's investment assets amounted to EUR 5.5 billion (5.4) at market values as at 31 March 2012.

Net income from investments, excluding income on unit-linked contracts, amounted to EUR 86 million (115). Net income from unit-linked investments was EUR 185 million (-19).

Investment return mark-to-market during January – March 2012 was 5.2 per cent (1.4). The fair value reserve increased to EUR 359 million from EUR 214 million at the end of 2011. At the end of March 2012 the duration of fixed income assets was 1.8 years (1.8) and average maturity 2.4 years. Fixed income running yield was 5.3 per cent (5.4).

Mandatum Life's solvency position strengthened further during the first quarter of 2012. Mandatum Life Group's solvency ratio as at 31 March 2012 was 24.8 (20.9). Mandatum Life Group's total technical reserves were EUR 7.6 billion (7.3), of which unit-linked reserves accounted for 3.4 billion (3.1). The unit-linked reserves reached an all-time high and their share of total technical reserves increased to 44 per cent (42).

Expense result for the Group's life insurance segment was EUR 0 million (0) for January – March 2012. Because expenses are partly front-loaded and the earnings potential has increased due to the increase in unit-linked savings, expense result is expected to rise to at least previous year's level. Mandatum Life does not defer acquisition costs, which burdens the result for the sales year.

Mandatum Life Group's premium income on own account increased by 20 per cent and amounted to EUR 260 million (216). Premium income from the Baltic countries decreased clearly and was EUR 5 million (12). Mandatum Life's overall market share in Finland measured by premium income increased to 27.0 per cent (22.2) and market share in unit-linked business to 30.1 per cent (25.0).

Group solvency is calculated according to Chapter 3 of the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699).

Group solvency 2,487 1,892
Group solvency ratio
(Own funds % of minimum requirements) 150.5 138.6

The Group's solvency ratio (own funds in relation to minimum requirements for own funds) was 150.5 per cent (138.6) as at 31 March 2012. Nordea is treated as an associated company in the solvency calculation and the part of Nordea's capital requirement corresponding to Sampo's holding in Nordea is taken into account in the Group's capital requirement.

In Sampo Group solvency is assessed internally by comparing the capital required to the capital available. Capital requirement assessment is based on an economic capital framework, in which Group companies quantify the amount of capital required for measurable risks over a one year time horizon at 99.5 per cent´s confidence level. In addition to economic capital companies are assessing their capital need related to non-measurable risks like risks in business environment.

Capital available or Adjusted Solvency Capital include regulatory capital and in addition other loss absorbing items like the effect of discounting technical reserves and other reserves excluded from regulatory capital.

The economic capital tied up in Group's operations on 31 March 2012 was EUR 4,629 million (4,374) and adjusted solvency capital was EUR 7,884 million (7,262).

Debt financing

In February 2012 Sampo plc issued a 5-year senior bond of EUR 500 million under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme. It also bought back the April 2012 bond with EUR 250 million.

Sampo plc's debt financing on 31 March 2012 amounted to EUR 2,534 million (2,329) and interest bearing assets including bank accounts to EUR 1,277 (1,121) million. During the first quarter the net debt increased EUR 49 million to EUR 1,257 (1,208). Gross debt to Sampo plc's equity was 36.6 per cent (34.6).

After the end of the reporting period Sampo plc paid a total of EUR 672 million in dividends, used EUR 355 million to repay rest of the April 2012 bond and received a dividend of EUR 224 million from Nordea. Together these measures increased the net debt to approximately EUR 1,750 million at the end of April.

As at 31 March 2012 financial liabilities in Sampo plc's balance sheet consisted of issued senior bonds and notes of EUR 1,932 million (1,677) and EUR 602 million (652) of outstanding CPs issued. The average interest on Sampo plc's debt as of 31 March 2012 was 3.36 per cent (3.73).

To balance the risks on the Group level Sampo plc's debt is mainly tied to short-term interest rates and issued in euro or Swedish krona. The debt positions are managed with interest rate swaps. These derivatives are valued at fair value in the profit and loss account although economically they match the underlying bonds. As a result Sampo plc maintains the flexibility to adjust derivative position if needed but this comes at the cost of increased volatility in the Holding segment's finance costs.

More information on Sampo Group's outstanding debt issues is available at www.sampo.com/debtfinancing.

Outlook for the rest of 2012

The major risks and uncertainties to the Group in the near term

The major risks Sampo Group is exposed to in its normal business activities are market risk, credit risks and insurance risks. Their contributions to Group's Economic Capital requirement are currently within normal boundaries at levels 39 per cent, 36 per cent and 14 per cent, respectively.

Sovereign debt crisis, crisis of political system, potential banking crisis and slow growth in Europe may escalate in ways that can affect Group's activities unfavorably although Sampo Group companies do not have direct exposures in sovereigns under pressure and have small exposure to banking sector outside the Nordic region.

Outlook for the rest of 2012

Sampo Group's business areas are expected to report good operating results for 2012. However, the mark-to-market results are, particularly in life insurance, highly dependent on capital market developments.

P&C insurance operations are expected to reach their long-term combined ratio target of below 95 per cent in 2012. Nordea's contribution to the Group's profit is expected to be significant.

¹) The Group solvency is calculated according to the consolidation method defined in Chapter 3 of the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699).

²) The key figures for P&C Insurance are based on activity based costs and cannot, therefore, be calculated directly from the consolidated income statement. The result analysis of P&C insurance is presented in note 13.

The number of shares used at the balance sheet date and as the average number during the financial period was 560,000,000.

The valuation differences on investment property have been taken into account in calculating the return on assets, return on equity, equity/assets ratio and net asset value per share. The tax component includes the tax corresponding to the result for the period, and the deferred tax liability related to valuation differences on investment property.

The total comprehensive income has been used in the calculation of the return on assets and return on equity.

The key figures for the insurance business have been calculated in accordance with the decree issued by the Ministry of Finance and the specifying regulations and instructions of the Finance Supervisory Authority.
