Topdanmark's profit forecast model for 2015 continues to be DKK 900-1,000m (see
announcement No. 05/2015) subject to an annual 7.0% return on equities and
unchanged foreign exchange rates from the level on 5 February 2015.
Furthermore, it is assumed that the return on interest-bearing assets hedging
the discounted provisions is just sufficient to cover discounting and
revaluation of the provisions, while the return on the remaining
interest-bearing assets is assumed to be 1.73% (risk-free interest rate plus
2.0pp).
The expected share buy-back for 2015 also remains unchanged at DKK 1.8bn. At 14
April 2015 Topdanmark had bought back own shares of DKK 473m, which leaves a
balance of DKK 1,327m of the 2015 programme.
