Claims development in the first half of 2014 was generally benign. Combined ratio for BA Industrial improved significantly as both risk and cost ratios decreased. All in all large claims outcome was close to expected and ended up EUR 3 million negative. In Sweden, however, the large claims amounted to approximately EUR 20 million above expected level. The continuing decline in discount rates used to discount the annuity reserves also burdened the Swedish result. The strong improvement in the Finnish risk ratio for the second quarter of 2014 is largely due to the fact that the discount rate was lowered in the comparison period. The large claims result in Finland also improved compared to last year.

Investment Allocation P&C insurance, 30 June 2014, total EUR 11.9 billion

Gross written premiums decreased to EUR 2,812 million (2,907) because of weakened Swedish krona. Adjusted for currency, premiums rose 1.5 per cent. Premiums in BA Industrial decreased but all other business areas had positive growth. Cost ratio improved to 22.6 per cent (22.9) and expense ratio remained unchanged at 16.7 per cent.

On 30 June 2014 the total investment assets of If P&C amounted to EUR 11.9 billion (11.7).

Net income from investments amounted to EUR 209 million (198). Investment return mark-tomarket for January-June 2014 was 3.1 per cent (1.9).

Duration for interest bearing assets was 1.0 years (1.3) and average maturity 2.2 years (2.3). Fixed income running yield was 2.5 per cent (3.1).

If P&C's solvency ratio as at 30 June 2014 (solvency capital in relation to net written premiums) amounted to 92 per cent (81). Solvency capital increased to EUR 4,035 million (3,601).

Remuneration

Remuneration in Sampo Group is based on the Remuneration Principles which Sampo plc's Board approved on 4 November 2013. The core of the Remuneration Principles is that all remuneration systems in Sampo Group shall safeguard the financial stability of the Group and comply with regulatory and ethical standards. They shall also be designed to balance the interests of different stakeholder groups such as shareholders, employees, customers and supervisory authorities.

Variable compensation is based either on the contribution to the company's profitability (e.g. short-term incentive programs) or linked to committing employees to the Group for a longer period of time (long-term incentive programs). During 2014 Sampo plc's Board has not adopted new long-term incentive schemes.

In January - June 2014 no payments were made on the basis of the long-term incentive schemes. As short-term incentives EUR 36 million (34), including social costs, was paid during the same period. At the end of June 2014 Sampo Group had provisioned EUR 32 million (38) for future payments of long-term incentive schemes.

The terms of the long-term incentive schemes are available at www.sampo.com/remuneration.

Group solvency

Sampo Group is regarded as a financial and insurance conglomerate according to the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699). Group solvency is calculated according to Chapter 3 of the Act on the Supervision of Financial and Insurance Conglomerates (2004/699). The Act is based on Directive 2002/87/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on the supplementary supervision of credit institutions, insurance undertakings and investment.

189.3 184.4

The Group's solvency ratio (own funds in relation to minimum requirements for own funds) was 189.3 per cent (184.4) as at 30 June 2014. 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 30 June 2014 was EUR 5,430 million (5,361) and adjusted solvency capital was EUR 9,499 million (9,417).

Debt financing

Sampo plc's debt financing on 30 June 2014 amounted to EUR 2,009 million (2,027) and interest bearing assets to EUR 460 million (980). Interest bearing assets include bank accounts and EUR 352 million of hybrid capital instruments issued by the subsidiaries and associates. During the first half of 2014 the net debt increased EUR 501 million to EUR 1,549 million (1,048). Sampo plc's dividend of EUR 924 million paid in early May 2014 increased the net debt but dividends of EUR 470 million received from Nordea Bank and Mandatum Life decreased it. Gross debt to Sampo plc's equity was 31 per cent (29).

Financial liabilities in Sampo plc's balance sheet on 30 June 2014 consisted of issued senior bonds and notes of EUR 1,709 million (1,720) and EUR 300 million (308) of outstanding CPs issued. The average interest on Sampo plc's debt as of 30 June 2014 was 2.25 per cent (2.26).

To balance the risks on the Group level Sampo plc's debt is tied to short-term interest rates and issued in euro or Swedish krona. Interest rate swaps are used to obtain the desired characteristics for the debt portfolio. These derivatives are valued at fair value in the profit and loss account although economically they are related 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 net finance costs.

The underlying objective of Sampo plc is to maintain a well-diversified debt structure, relatively low leverage and strong liquidity in order for the company to be able to arrange financing for strategic projects if needed. Strong liquidity and the ability to acquire financing are essential factors in maintaining Sampo Group's strategic flexibility.

Sampo Group Interim Report January – June 2014 / Outlook

Outlook

Outlook for the rest of 2014

Sampo Group's business areas are expected to report good operating results for 2014.

However, the mark-to-market results are, particularly in life insurance, highly dependent on capital market developments. The low interest rate level also creates a challenging environment for reinvestment in fixed income assets.

The P&C insurance operations are expected to reach their long-term combined ratio target of below 95 per cent in 2014 and achieve a combined ratio of 88 - 91 per cent.

Nordea's contribution to the Group's profit is expected to be significant.

Major risks and uncertainties to the Group in the near term

In its day-to-day business activities Sampo Group is exposed to various risks and uncertainties which it identifies and assesses regularly.

Major risks affecting the Group's profitability and its variation are market, credit and insurance risks that can be quantified by financial measurement techniques. Currently their quantified contributions to the Group's Economic Capital - used as an internal basis for capital needs – represent normal levels of 33 per cent, 45 per cent and 11 per cent, respectively.

Uncertainties in the form of major unforeseen events may have an immediate impact on the Group's profitability. Identification of unforeseen events is easier than estimation of their probabilities, timing and potential outcomes. One of the latest examples is the tension in Ukraine that started as an unforeseen event leading to increased volatility at financial markets, but probably will also have an impact on business environment as a result of financial sanctions. Sampo Group has no direct exposures to the region.

Other sources of uncertainty are unforeseen structural changes in the business environment and already identified trends. They both may have also long-term impact how business shall be conducted.

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.

8 Determination and hierarchy of fair values >

A large majority of Sampo Group's financial assets are valued at fair value. The valuation is based on either published price quatations or valuation techniques based on market observable inputs, where available. For a limited amount of assets the value needs to be determined using other techniques.

The financial instruments measured at fair value have been classified into three hierarchy levels in the notes, depending on e.g. if the market for the instrument is active, or if the inputs used in the valuation technique are observable.

On level 1, the measurement of the instrument is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

On level 2, inputs for the measurement of the instrument include also other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly by using valuation techniques.

In level 3, the measurement is based on other inputs rather than observable market data.

Sensitivity analysis of fair values

The sensitivity of financial assets and liabilites to changes in exchange rates is assessed on business area level due to different base currencies. In P&C insurance, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against SEK would result in an effect recognised in profit/loss of EURm 23 (12) and in an effect recognised directly in equity of EURm -21 (-11). In Life insurance, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would result in an effect recognised in profit/loss of EURm 38 (14) and in an effect recognised directly in equity of EURm -81 (-68). In Holding, 10 percentage point depreciation of all other currencies against EUR would have no impact in profit/loss, but an effect recognised in equity of EURm -3 (-15). The comparison figures are as of 31 December 2013.

The sensitivity analysis of the Group's fair values of financial assets and liabilities in differenct market risk scenarios is presented below. The effects represent the instantaneous effects of a one-off change in the underlying market variable on the fair values on 30 June 2014.

The sensitivity analysis includes the effects of derivative positions. All sensitivities are calculated before taxes.

The debt issued by Sampo plc is not included.

The value of financial assets regarding the debt security instruments has been tested by assuming a rise of 1 per cent unit in interest rate level in all maturities. For other financial assets, the prices were assumed to go down by 20%. Sampo Group bears no investment risks related to unit-linked insurance, so a change in assumptions regarding these assets does not affect profit or loss. On the basis of the these alternative assumptions, a possible change in interest levels at 30 June 2014 would cause descend of EURm 2 (2) for the debt instruments, and EURm 149 (161) valuation loss for other instruments in the Group's other comprehensive income. The reasonably possible effect, proportionate to the Group's equity, would thus be 1.4 per cent (1.5).
