Pursuing our Group Strategy: Leading The Way In Sustainable Value Creation to be a leading Sustainable Nordic Savings and Insurance Group

Strong organic growth in the Unit Linked business, supported by the Danica acquisition

Leading Provider Occupational Pensions Norway & Sweden A

Unit Linked premiums grew 30% year on year

  • Danica integration according to plan
  • Positive new sales and transfer balance development in both Norwegian and Swedish business

For the first time, SPP is selectable in both segments in the unionized market1 in Sweden:

  • Unit linked
  • Capital light guarantees

Highlights Unit Linked premiums (NOK million)

1) In Sweden, Occupational pension is not mandatory and the employer signs a collective agreement ("unionised solution") or purchase a solution on the free, competitive market. It is attractive to be chosen for the unionized market, since you are chosen as a firm for the next five years 6

All time high Assets Under Management supported by strong Net Flow in the quarter

Nordic Powerhouse in Asset Management

B

Retail bank driving growth and value creation as a central part of the retail market offering

Growing Challenger in Norwegian Retail Market

C

Storebrand continues the digital journey

Cloud Transformation

Core Renewal

Digital Business

Accelerating our adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

  • Building on broad experience and unique in-house competence
  • Mobilizing the organization to leverage the potential in the new wave of generative AI
  • Ensuring safe and responsible use, paying close attention to risks

Digital Frontrunner E

Storebrand will continue its existing reporting, result lines renamed to Cash equivalent earnings due to implementation of IFRS 17

Key Takeaways
---------------------- -- -- -- --

Key Takeaways Alternative Income Statement

Impacted items

  • Storebrand will continue its current Alternative Performance Measure (APM) reporting with the four reporting segments post IFRS 17
  • This reporting is still a good approximation of free cash flow and value creation generated by the business
  • Result lines renamed to Cash equivalent earnings, 2022-numbers are adjusted (see below) to provide comparable figures
  • Cash equivalent earnings cannot be reconciled with IFRS result due to the backward-looking nature of cash reporting vs forward-looking IFRS

[2] Amortisation will be lower due to exclusion of Group adjustments

Solvency movement from Q4 2022 to Q1 2023 Storebrand Group

Solvency position and sensitivities Q1 2023 Storebrand Group

Key takeaways

  • Result generation from operations and positive changes stemming from model and assumption changes contributed positive to the solvency ratio
  • The improvement was offset by increased equity exposure, a higher symmetric equity stress adjustment (SA) and decreased interest rates

13 1The estimated Economic solvency position of Storebrand Group is calculated using the current Storebrand implementation of the Solvency II Standard model with the company's interpretation of the transition rules from the NFSA. Output is sensitive to changes in financial markets, development of reserves, changes in assumptions and improvements of the calculation framework in the economic capital model as well as changes in the Solvency II legislation and national interpretation of transition rules.

Dividend policy adjusted to reflect changes in IFRS

Background and changes

  • The following phrase has been a part of Storebrand's dividend policy: Storebrand aims to pay a dividend of more than 50 % of Group result after tax.
  • The implementation of the new accounting standard IFRS 17 introduces increased volatility to the official IFRS financial statements
  • Consequently, the Board of Directors has decided to remove the abovementioned phrase related to payout ratio
  • Continued ambition of paying ordinary dividends per share of at least the same nominal amount as the previous year, subject to a solvency targets

"The Board of Directors ambition is to pay ordinary dividends per share of at least the same nominal amount as the previous year. Ordinary dividends are subject to a sustainable solvency margin of above 150%. If the solvency margin is above 175%, the Board of Directors intends to propose special dividends or share buy backs."

[2] Changes in financial assets mainly related to valuation of debt instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss, previously measured at amortised cost

[3] Equity down by 8 103 mNOK primarily due to establishment of the CSM and risk adjustment

[4] Insurance liabilities decreased by 5 879 mNOK due to reclassification of certain receivables to liabilities, new measurement models and discounting effects introduced by IFRS 17
