Topdanmark's profit forecast model for 2016 continues to be DKK 800-900m (see
announcement No. 16/2016) subject to an annual 7.0% return on equities, and
unchanged foreign exchange rates from the level of 29 January 2016.
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 1.96% (risk-free interest rate plus
2.0pp).
The expected share buy-back for 2016 also remains unchanged at DKK 1.250m. By 6
April 2016, Topdanmark had bought back own shares at a value of DKK 53m which
leaves a balance of DKK 1.197m of the 2016 buy-back programme.
