Results for H1 2018

Topdanmark's post-tax profit for H1 2018 was DKK 613m (H1 2017: DKK 889m).

Pre-tax profit was DKK 779m (H1 2017: DKK 1,149m).

The technical result declined DKK 153m to DKK 661m. The decline is primarily due to a higher level of fire claims.

After return and revaluation of non-life insurance provisions, the investment return in non-life insurance decreased DKK 176m to DKK 2m (loss). The lower investment return is primarily due to a low investment return on equities and CDOs.

The profit on life insurance declined DKK 22m to DKK 106m which is primarily due to a lower risk result.

Results for Q2 2018

The profit for Q2 2018 was DKK 345m (Q2 2017: DKK 474m).

Pre-tax profit declined DKK 181m to DKK 435m.

The technical result declined DKK 172m to DKK 325m particularly as a consequence of a very low level of fire claims in Q2 2017 whereas there was an unusually high level of fire claims in Q2 2018.

After return and revaluation of non-life insurance provisions, the investment return in non-life insurance decreased DKK 11m to DKK 43m. The lower investment return was primarily due to a low investment return on equities and CDOs to a certain extent equivalent to a higher return on Danish mortgage bonds.

The profit on life insurance increased DKK 6m to DKK 62m.

Non-life insurance in H1 2018 Premiums earned

Premiums earned in H1 2018 increased 2.2% to DKK 4,574m. The personal segment accounted for a 1.3% increase, and the SME segment accounted for a 3.2% increase.

In H1 2018, Topdanmark experienced a continued net increase in the number of customers in the personal, agricultural and SME markets. The increase in the number of customers is primarily due to improved customer retention.

Claims trend

The claims trend was 68.8 in H1 2018 (H1 2017: 65.1).

Q2 2018 was impacted by substantially less rainfall than normal. As a consequence of the dry weather, there was a high level of fire claims and similarly a lower level of damages than normal caused by rainstorm (weather-related claims).

The level of large-scale claims (claims exceeding DKK 5m by event after refund of reinsurance) increased by DKK 63m to DKK 67m in H1 2018, representing a 1.4pp increase in the claims trend. In Topdanmark's profit forecast model, large-scale claims of DKK 100m is assumed for 2018.

The level of damages caused by fire (fire claims of less than DKK 5m by event) increased DKK 65m as compared with H1 2017, representing a 1.4pp increase in the claims trend.

In H1 2018, the extent of weather-related claims was DKK 0m representing a decline of DKK 5m compared to H1 2017 corresponding to a 0.1pp improvement of the claims trend. The extent of weather-related claims was DKK 75m lower than assumed for the half-year.

Announcement No. 11/2018 from Topdanmark A/S


The run-off profits, net of reinsurance, were DKK 135m (H1 2017: DKK 157m), representing a 0.5pp adverse impact on the claims trend. Run-off profits were primarily generated in motor liability, illness/accident insurance and workers' compensation.

The claims trend excl. run-off, weather-related claims and large-scale claims deteriorated 1.9pp to 70.3 in H1 2018.

The deterioration of the adjusted claims trend of 1.9pp is mainly a consequence of an increased number of damages caused by fire in the personal and SME segment. Furthermore, the claims trend for the comprehensive motor insurance was higher as compared with H1 2017. However, the constantly improved claims trend for motor liability (personal injuries) compensated for this to a certain extent. Finally, the claims trend for workers' compensation was adversely impacted by a change to mortality rate assumptions (longer lifetimes), higher expenses for AES (Labour Market Insurance) and higher wage and salary index assumptions. On the other hand, the development of the adjusted claims trend was favourably impacted by a continued improved claims trend on theft.

Claims before run-off, weather and large-scale claims 69.1 65.2 70.3 68.4 70.3

Expense ratio

The expense ratio was 16.8 in H1 2018 (H1 2017: 16.7). The payroll tax imposed on Danish financial businesses, increased from 14.1% in 2017 to 14.5% in 2018, representing a 0.1pp adverse impact on the combined ratio. In addition, the general trend of wages and salaries impacted the combined ratio by 0.3pp.

Combined ratio

The combined ratio was 85.5 in H1 2018 (H1 2017: 81.8). Excluding run-off profits, the combined ratio was 88.5 (H1 2017: 85.3).

Reinsurance

The storm reinsurance programme has been renewed for one year as per 1 July and still covers claims up to DKK 5.1bn with a retention of DKK 100m.

The renewal was made within the framework of the assumptions made in the profit forecast model for 2018. For additional information on the storm programme, please check the Annual Report 2017 for Topdanmark, page 64, section "Disaster risks" in Topdanmark Annual Results 2017.

Non-life insurance in Q2 2018

Premiums earned in Q2 2018 increased 2.6% to DKK 2,300m. The increase in premiums was 2.3% and 3.0% in the personal segment and the SME segment respectively.

The claims trend was 69.6 in Q2 2018 (Q2 2017: 61.8), representing a 7.8pp deterioration in the claims trend.

The claims trend in Q2 2018 was characterized by unseasonably low rainfall resulting in an increased

Announcement No. 11/2018 from Topdanmark A/S
Page 5 of 22


number of fire claims in the personal segment as well as the SME segment.

The large-scale claims were DKK 57m in Q2 2018, which was an increase of DKK 55m compared with Q2 2017, representing a deterioration of the claims trend of 2.4pp.

There were no weather-related claims in Q2 2018. In Q2 2017, the weather-related claims were DKK 5m, representing an improvement of the claims trend of 0.2pp in Q2 2018.

The claims trend was impacted by lower run-off profits of DKK 12m, representing a 0.5pp deterioration of the claims trend.

The claims trend adjusted for run-off, weather-related claims and large-scale claims worsened 5.2pp to 70.3 in Q2 2018.

The development of the adjusted claims trend of 5.2pp is in particular caused by an increased number of fire claims in the personal segment and the SME segment. The increased claims trend in motor insurance was mainly due to fewer public holidays as compared with Q2 2017. Finally, workers' compensation was adversely impacted by a change to the mortality rate assumptions (longer lifetimes), higher expenses for AES and higher wage and salary assumptions.

The expense ratio was 16.2 in Q2 2018 (Q2 2017: 16.1).

The combined ratio was 85.9 in Q2 2018 (Q2 2017: 77.8). Excluding run-off profits, the combined ratio was 89.0 (Q2 2017: 81.6).

Segment reporting

Personal

The Personal segment offers policies to individual households in Denmark.

Premiums earned increased 1.3% to DKK 2,541m in H1 2018 (Q2 2018: 2.3% to DKK 1,279m). The increase in premiums is impacted by a decline of premiums in illness/accident (I/A) as a consequence of the termination of the life insurance distribution agreement with Sydbank. Adjusting for this, the increase in premiums in personal insurances was 1.9% in H1 2018.

The technical result was DKK 391m in H1 2018, representing a decline of DKK 65m as compared with H1 2017.

The claims trend increased 2.7pp to 68.0. Adjusted for run-off profits, the claims trend deteriorated 1.3pp. Compared to H1 2017, the claims trend was favourably impacted by an improved development in theft claims and personal injuries in motor insurance. However, increased expenses for fire claims and claims for comprehensive motor insurance more than compensated for this.

The expense ratio deteriorated marginally to 16.6 (H1 2017: 16.5).

The combined ratio was 84.6 (H1 2017: 81.8).

Excluding run-off profits, the combined ratio deteriorated to 88.0 in H1 2018 (H1 2017: 86.7).

The claims trend deteriorated 4.7pp to 69.7 mainly due to an increased number of fire claims particularly in Q2 2018.

The result from life insurance was a profit of DKK 106m in H1 2018 (H1 2017: profit of DKK 128m).

Profit on life insurance activities comprises the profit on life insurance plus the investment return of Liv Holding (Life Holding). These profits were calculated in accordance with the stated policy for the calculation of profit for the life insurance company: see www.topdanmark.com → About Topdanmark → Business → Life insurance → Policy for the calculation of profit in life insurance.

The investment return after return and revaluation of non-life insurance provisions was DKK 41m (H1 2017: DKK 221m). The lower investment return is primarily due to a low investment return on equities and CDOs.

Topdanmark's policy is to accept a certain level of financial risk, given its strong liquid position and stable, high earnings from insurance operations. Topdanmark has invested in, among other things, equities, properties and CDOs in order to improve the average investment return.

The investment return in H1 2018 on the most significant classes of assets is disclosed in the table below:

The exposure in foreign equities and credit bonds has been adjusted by the use of derivatives. The return percentages are calculated as the ratio between the return on financial instruments and the size of the exposure of the underlying asset. The return on properties includes revaluation of owner-occupied property, which has been included in other comprehensive income.

The post-tax equity exposure was DKK 778m (pre-tax: DKK 997m) excluding associated companies but including the impact of derivatives. The equity portfolios are well diversified with no large individual positions.

The composition of the portfolios is based on OMXCCAP for Danish equities, representing around 30% of the portfolio at 30 June 2018, and the foreign portfolios are based on MSCI World DC in the original currency for foreign equities.

The class "Unlisted equities and hedge funds" includes private equity positions (DKK 39m) and positions in hedge funds where the investment mandates aim at positioning in the credit market (DKK 196m).

The Group's investments have no significant concentration of credit risk except for investments in AAA-rated Danish mortgage bonds. The class of "Government and mortgage bonds" comprises primarily Danish government and mortgage bonds. The assets of the class are interest-rate sensitive which to a significant extent is equivalent to the total interest-rate sensitivity of the technical provisions in Topdanmark Forsikring and the I/A provisions in Topdanmark Livsforsikring (the life insurance company). Consequently, the return on "Government and mortgage bonds" should be assessed in connection with return and revaluation of the insurance provisions.

Announcement No. 11/2018 from Topdanmark A/S
Page 8 of 22


The class "Credit bonds" is composed of a well-diversified portfolio of credit bonds, primarily issued by businesses in Europe.

The class "Index linked bonds" comprises bonds – primarily Danish mortgage bonds – for which the coupon and principal are index linked.

The class "CDOs" primarily comprises positions in CDO equity tranches. The underlying assets of CDO's are mostly senior secured bank loans, while the remainder are primarily investment grade investments.

The property portfolio mainly comprises owner-occupied property (DKK 853m). The properties are valued in accordance with the rules of the DFSA (Danish Financial Supervisory Authority) i.e. at market value taking into account the level of rent and the terms of the tenancy agreements. 98% of the property portfolio is currently let when adjusting for properties under construction or being converted for other purposes.

"Money market etc." comprises money market deposits, intra-group balances, the result of currency positions and other returns not included in the other classes.

"Subordinated loan capital" comprises subordinated loans issued by the parent company and by Topdanmark Forsikring.

"Interest-bearing debt" comprises other debt.

Topdanmark uses the Solvency II discount curve with volatility adjustment (VA) for an assessment of the technical provisions. The VA component comprises a corrective element for the development in pricing of Danish mortgage bonds, as well as a corrective element for the development in pricing of European business credits. The VA component was 33bp at the end of H1 2018 and 30bp at the beginning of the year.

Solvency calculation and capital requirements

Solvency II gives the companies the opportunity to fully or partially develop their own internal risk model for solvency calculation. Topdanmark uses a partial internal model it has developed in-house to calculate the non-life risk.

This model, approved by the DFSA, provides the basis for including non-life risks in Topdanmark's solvency calculations.

The DFSA has granted Topdanmark approval to use the volatility-adjusted Solvency II interest rate curve (see above).

Own funds

Principal elements of own funds:

Shareholders' equity

  • Proposed dividend
  • Deferred tax on security funds
  • Profit margin
  • Intangible assets
  • Tax effect
  • Usable share, subordinated loan tier 1 (max. 20% of tier 1-capital)
  • Usable share, subordinated notes (max. 50% of SCR)

Own funds

Topdanmark has an outstanding subordinated tier 1 loan (restricted tier 1 capital notes) of DKK 400m. This loan is perpetual but includes an option enabling Topdanmark to redeem the loan as of 23 November 2022.

Topdanmark Forsikring has outstanding subordinated tier 2 notes in two tranches:

  • DKK 500m, call in 2020, expiry in 2025
  • DKK 850m, call in 2021, expiry in 2026.

At the end of H1 2018, Topdanmark's own funds were DKK 7,103m (end of 2017: DKK 6,370m). Potential dividend for 2018 has not been deducted from Topdanmark's own funds end H1 2018.

The solvency requirement (SCR) is DKK 3,328m (end of 2017: DKK 3,116m).

The solvency ratio was 213 end of H1 2018.

Parent company etc.

The parent company, Topdanmark, does not perform any independent activities. The profits of the parent company etc. includes the profits of subsidiaries, excluding the insurance business (primarily Topdanmark Asset Management) and finance costs.

The profits of the parent company declined DKK 18m to DKK 15m in H1 2018. The reduced profit mainly derives from lower performance-related investment management fees in Topdanmark Kapitalforvaltning (Topdanmark Asset Management).

Taxation

The tax charge was DKK 166m of the pre-tax profit of DKK 779m, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 21.4% (H1 2017: 22.7%).

Profit forecast model

Traditionally, Topdanmark does not publish actual profit forecasts, but instead the expected level of results if a number of assumptions about the return in the financial

Announcement No. 11/2018 from Topdanmark A/S
Page 9 of 22


markets are met. The return in the financial markets changes on a daily basis, and Topdanmark's profit forecast model will already deviate from actual expectations by the time it is published. Therefore, set out at www.topdanmark.com → Investor → Risk management is additional information on how changes in the assumptions underlying the profit forecast model will affect the results.

As can be seen, the investment return forecast model is not based on a specific estimate of the expected investment return for the rest of the year, but solely on a long-term standard assumption of the return.

In the Q1 Report for 2018, it was stated that Topdanmark's post-tax profit forecast model for 2018 was DKK 1,050-1,150m.

Non-life insurance

For non-life insurance, Topdanmark assumed a pre-tax profit of DKK 1,050-1,150m. This profit forecast model was based on the following assumptions:

  • A positive premium growth
  • A normal year as regards weather including weather-related claims of DKK 120m in Q2-Q4 2018
  • A combined ratio for 2018 of 88-89, excl. run-off but incl. additional expenses of 0.5 to 1pp due to Topdanmark's investment in increased digitalisation and automation
  • A level of interest corresponding to the interest rate curve on 28 March 2018
  • An annual 7.0% return on equities and unchanged foreign exchange rates from the level of 28 March 2018.

After the profit forecast model for 2018 was published in the Q1 Report for 2018, the following assumptions have changed:

  • In Q2 2018 there were run-off profits of DKK 73m, corresponding to a 0.8pp improvement of the combined ratio in 2018
  • Weather-related claims were DKK 0m in Q2 2018, which is DKK 25m lower than assumed, corresponding to a 0.3pp improvement of the combined ratio
  • The extent of large-scale claims was DKK 57m in Q2 2018 which is DKK 32m higher than the assumptions made by quarter corresponding to a 0.4pp deterioration of the combined ratio
  • In addition, the claims trend in fire was higher than assumed in Q2 2018, representing a deterioration of the combined ratio of approx. 0.5pp in 2018
  • Interest rates have slightly decreased relative to the guidance for 2018 in the Q1-report, representing a 0.2pp deterioration of the combined ratio.

The assumed combined ratio for 2018 remains unchanged at 88-89, excluding run-off profits in H2 2018.

A positive premium growth is still assumed in 2018.

Overall, the assumed pre-tax result for non-life insurance is unchanged at DKK 1,050-1,150m.

Life insurance

In the Q1 Report for 2018, Topdanmark assumed a pre-tax profit on life insurance of DKK 240-270m in 2018, based on the following assumptions:

  • A moderately positive increase in regular premiums
  • Full recognition as income of risk return for shareholders' equity from all interest rate groups
  • No profit from the shadow account.

With respect to the above forecast assumptions on regular premiums, the assumption of a slightly positive increase has been changed to assuming a development of approx. 0%.

Overall, the assumed pre-tax profit on life insurance remains DKK 240-270m.

The result is sensitive to fluctuations particularly in the investment return. The risk allowance and shadow account will not be finally calculated until the preparation of the Annual Report for 2018.

Parent company

The profit forecast model for the parent company plus subsidiaries outside of the insurance group still assumes a pre-tax profit of DKK 40-50m.

Taxation

Given a corporation tax rate of 22%, the tax charge is expected to be DKK 280-320m.

Total Group profit

Topdanmark's overall post-tax profit forecast model for 2018 is retained at DKK 1,050-1,150m, representing EPS of DKK 12.8. The assumed profit is exclusive of run-off profits/losses in the remaining two quarters of 2018.

The profit forecast model is based on the assumption of an annual 7.0% return on equities, and unchanged foreign exchange rates from the level of 29 June 2018.

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 1.7% (risk-free interest rate plus 2.0pp).

Change in the method for calculation of volatility adjustment

The volatility adjustment (VA) is a component in the national interest rate curve that EU based insurance companies use for the discounting of reserves. EIOPA

Announcement No. 11/2018 from Topdanmark A/S
Page 10 of 22


has stated that the method for calculation of the VA for the Danish discounting curve will be changed during Q3 2018.

It is not known which changes are intended and consequently, Topdanmark's profit forecast model for 2018 is prepared under the assumption of an unchanged VA.

If the VA is reduced, the accounting value of the liabilities will increase while the accounting value of the assets will remain unchanged. It can be disclosed that for each basis point reduction of the VA, Topdanmark's 2018 post-tax result will be reduced by DKK 5m.

Disclaimer

This interim report includes statements relating to the future. Such statements are uncertain and involve both general and specific risks.

Many factors may cause significant deviation from the forecasts and assumptions set out in the interim report. Such factors could be, for example, cyclical movements, changes in the financial markets, the financial effect of unexpected events like acts of terror or exceptional weather conditions, changes in Danish and EU rules, competitive factors in the insurance industry and trends in the reinsurance market. See also: www.topdanmark.com → Investor → Risk management.

The above description of risk factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others, who may base decisions relating to Topdanmark on statements relating to the future, should give their own careful consideration to these and other factors of uncertainty.

Topdanmark's statements relating to the future are solely based on information known at the time of the preparation of this interim report.

This publication is a translation. In case of any divergence, the original Danish text shall prevail.

Accounting policies

Topdanmark's interim report for H1 2018 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 on interim reports for listed companies. Furthermore, the interim report has been prepared in accordance with additional Danish disclosure requirements on interim reports for listed financial services companies.

New financial accounting standards

IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" took effect on 1 January 2018. Topdanmark has no material contracts with customers covered by IFRS 15. As a consequence, the standard has no material impact on Topdanmark Group's accounting policies, profits, nor its financial position.

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" also took effect on 1 January 2018. Topdanmark has decided to exercise the option applicable to insurance groups for concurrent implementation of IFRS 9 and IFRS 17 "Insurance Contracts". Thus, IFRS 9 is expected to be implemented as of 1 January 2021.

Other than this, accounting policies are unchanged compared with the Annual Report for 2017 that contains a full description of accounting policies.

The interim report has not been audited nor subjected to review.
